Square Enix's Avengers

[KBX]

It’s an Avengers, not a Spider-Man game. He is just one or the characters that you can download later. What I’m interested in if they can get one of those Capcom characters down the line. Megaman or Chung-Li I’m all for lol

It's an Avengers game, not a Marvel vs Capcom spin-off!

 

[Gee]

Well it's official Spider-Man is the only exclusive character in the game due to the relationship Sony and Marvel have.

It'll be interesting to see what future Marvel games will offer when Spider-Man isn't an integral character.

Eidos is working on a GotG game, right? We'll see if the PlayStation will get any preferential treatment. Perhaps we can then better gauge what the deal was between Sony and Disney back in September 2019.

I kinda doubt that deal from last year has much to do with spiderman in gaming.

Lol very good point. Still think it would be kinda cool to use Megaman

 

[CB Fan]

Good to hear. I'm still very surprised at so much outrage, I mean ps4 spiderman to me was a much bigger deal than this.

i think it’s because of Spiderman ps4 that there is as much outrage as there is. Xbox players were already blocked from an opportunity to play as the character with that game. They were looking forward to getting to play as him in this game and well, they got blocked again. Microsoft has gotta start getting aggressive in securing special content for their players but for whatever reason they won’t.

I don’t get the outrage. Sony owns the rights for Spider-Man games and so him only showing up in PS games makes complete sense.

Xbox players eXpect to play Spider-Man in this game?

I'm a ps4 owner and I didn't even eXpect Spidey to show up in this.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Xbox players and PlayStation players offended for Xbox players should start asking Microsoft if they even lobbied for exclusive content on their console. I'm guessing they didn't. Getting Black Panther would've been something.

 

[psylockolussus]

I watched few seconds of Beta walkthrough and graphically, it does look like on par with the 2018 Spider-Man game. The few seconds (I don t to watch the entire walkthrough) featured Hulk and its kinda what I imagine a current AAA hulk game would look like. So I hope we do get more solo games (that aren't like Iron Man VR) in the future.

Lobbying for exclusive content for Xbox was probably never on the table. And there probably wouldn't be any exclusive content for Sony if not for the pre existing relationship between marvel and Sony. But spiderman isn't essential to an avengers game, black panther is so i don't think it'd make much sense to make him a console exclusive. Wolverine would make more sense imo, and the whole xmen on Xbox is easy marketing.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I know he's never been an Avenger but I really want Ghost Rider in this game.

He's on the current roster in the comics. And has been playing a decent sized role.

****ing hell I had not realized....well I suppose this means he could end up in the game. I would absolutely love that.

X-Men on X-boX? Thats triple X!

Don't put it out in the universe!

Blade and Ghost Rider pack plz!!

 

[The Caped Knight]

I really hope they add Ant-Man and The Wasp into the roster for the Avengers Initiative expansion pack post release. The lack of Hank Pym & Janet Van Dyne is quite disappointing. Considering they were the original founding members of The Avengers, before Hawkeye and Black Widow. I get that mainstream audience won't realize the importance due to the fact that they weren't properly portrayed in the MCU films. But if their going hard on introducing Kamala as Ms. Marvel to the gamers in this game. They better pay respect to Ant-Man and wasp.

 

[Sithborg]

Hank is confirmed.

 

[Zorro]

That was expected and obvious but nice to have a confirmation and that adds to the roster

 

[Gamma Goliath]

He was confirmed during the big reveal last year. Just not much has been said

 

[The Caped Knight]

Hank is confirmed.

As Ant-Man?! Not yet we saw a tiny tease of him using his Pym technology on a A.I.M. Drone but no indication that he’s Ant-Man. I have a feeling they’re probably going to use Scott Lang not Hank as The Original Ant-Man because of the movies.

 

[Zorro]

As someone very interested in this and Gotham Knights as well as Suicide Squad, it's fun to me going between threads. Especially when active with new posts

The way Playstation is heavily using it to promote the game . They're making it damn sure that every one knows that Spider-Man is involved. And its working because sales for Playstation shot up a large percentage after the announcement plus the media coverage

I still don't like that we are getting Kamala Khan as one of the starting characters. That'd be like if X-23 is a playable character in a X-Men game from the game launch then the likes of Iceman, Colossus and Rogue are just DLCs.

DLCs are cool especially if they eXpanded the game very well and if its for free. But not every person who purchases a game, would care to download dlcs. Dlcs are usually overlooked and they often feel like "side content" compare to the launch story campaign.

 

[CB Fan]

Story wise it makes sense that Kamala is a character from the start. I actually like that one of the newbie characters gets to be introduced to so many casuals in a big game. If it were a bunch of newbies that would annoy me but one new character isn’t bad. Are they gonna bring in Black Bolt or Medusa since they’ve gone with an Inhumans story is what I’m wondering.

Playing the beta and the combat is a bit meh I’m going to have to get used to it I guess.
