Where are all the Marvel games??

[Sithborg]

If there was synergy between the movies and the games, a new game for someone (movie tie in or not) should have been out months or a year between each other.

All Phase 1 movies except for Avengers have a movie tie in game, but they weren't good. They were probably rushed, didn't have great sales and since then they didn't bother.

Because that is the point where game production started to become too lengthy and expensive for tie in games.

EA Still Making At Least 3 Marvel Games, Even After Black Panther Cancellation - IGN

Yesterday, EA announced it would be shutting down Cliffhanger Games and canceling the studio's project, Black Panther. But both EA and Marvel are adamant that this changes nothing for the partnership between the two companies, which will still be developing at least three games together...

www.ign.com

For now...

EA is really a hit or miss, well mostly a miss.

I wish Marvel would shop their ips to Capcom, IO and Take 2. But I don't really see those studios doing Marvel games. With Capcom, Infinite feels like the last one.

A story driven action adventure game made in RE Engine would be marvelous!

MvC is dead.

All hail Tokon.

Totally was not expecting that but it looks good

Honestly, I've been wanting an all Marvel fighter for years. The closest we've ever gotten to having that that wasn't all X-men was Marvel Super Heroes.

And this way, we'll probably get more Marvel characters now that there won't be any Capcom characters taking spots.

 

[Silvermoth]

Hm. Not my thing. Still kind of bummed about loosing that black panther game but to each their own of course

the fact that its 4x4 means that we will be getting alot of characters. I just hope the X-men are well represented. I need more than Storm, Wolverine and Magneto. Give me Cyclops, Phoenix, Magik and even some deep cuts that are never used

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Add Kwannon, the Fantastic Four, Blade, Rogue and Gambit to the roster and I’ll be a happy camper.

 

[Silvermoth]

Kwannon would be incredible

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

Cool that this is console exclusive to Ps5 somehow

Sony working their magic once again.

I feel like we sadly got to a point where simply having Cyclops and Jean, two massive X-Men household names, would already feel like a deep cut unusual choice.

So as much as I'd love deep cut choices, my personal preference is classic X-Men characters first like Gambit, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Iceman, etc...

Outside the X-Men, I'd love to see characters like Daredevil, FF, Namor, Wanda, Pietro, Gwen, Green Goblin and Doc Ock.

With Marvel games like those, you shouldn't expect all X-Men a listers to be there. Someone is always going to miss the cut.

There's also a Deadpool VR game.

No one expects all X-men A-listers there for the simple fact that they never are. Besides X-men specific games, I cant recall the big 4 of Cyclops, Jean, Storm and Wolverine all being on the base roster of any Marvel game besides MUA2 and Marvel Heroes

I have to wonder, will people complain about "too many MCU characters"? I'm asking because that was one of the complaints MVCI had in regards to the Marvel side(along with the lack of X-men). Years have gone by since then and at this point, nearly every Marvel hero is either already apart of the MCU or will be sometime in the future. Whether it's a movie or TV show. And some of those characters are those that many people have been wanting to be in a fighting game. IE the F4, Daredevil, Punisher etc. Now if they were to put in the female Silver Surfer or characters from Thunderbolts/New Avengers, I'd probably understand.

I mean, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 had 36 characters and the DLC adding to around 50. And at the time it came out, around probably of them were apart of the MCU. And since then more have joined or will be in the near future.

There's simply too many Marvel ips/stars.

The reason that was a big complaint in MvCI was because a LOT of staple characters of the MvC series were left out. Wolverine, Doom, Sentinel. And you got some bad, bad PR when the devs couldn't give a good enough bs reason. Remember, people want "functions" not characters.

I would hesitant to say the roster is going to be huge. The release roster for DBFZ was 24, for a 3v3. I doubt we will see more than 30. As for the roster, I am hesitant to speculate too much. I get the impression that ArcSys has solid leeway, just based on the designs they are creating.

and my response to that is who cares? With a game like this, there will be a complaint for almost anything. The devs should just make the game they want and drown that noise out
