X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse

The official site gets a new look: http://www.xmenlegends2.com/

Go to the downloads section, there's an amazing wallpaper.

 

[Nathan]

Oh yeah, this one is really nice.

 

[Psionic Force]

Awesome new wallpapers! So.... Storm will be getting a haircut? http://www.xmenlegends2.com/images/walls/wall2.jpg

And is the date the 21st, like it says on the site, or the 20th?

 

[Nathan]

I like the haircut. Looks just like in the Ultimate comics.

 

[Psionic Force]

I do as well .... just didnt notice it... well... in the Storm wall on the site, she has longer hair. I watched the official trailer and she has short hair in that as well .... so looking forward to this game and the more I see of it, the more excited I get

 

[Slim_X]

I like how the game goes hand to hand with the Ultimate comics continuity. Storm cuts her hair to go for a punk style, in XML2 she gets a haircut. Nightcrawler has a yellow uniform, they changed Nightcrawler's 'Ultimate' red costume of XML1 for the yellow version. Rogue gets a uniform in the comics, they give her that costume in XML2. I bet Jean will have long hair this time as in the comics she let it grow.

I don't care about the look. I 1. Want cable to be playable on my damn X-box 2. For the gameplay to be good, no worries there.

I'm sure the gameplay will be great. Don't know what to tell you about Cable. I just think it's ****ing lame that the crappy PSP will get 4 exclusive character plus flashback missions that the home consoles won't get.

 

[taskmaster]

He better be unlockable or something. It's a game about apocalypse, Cable has to be there.

New interview with new footage: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=7556&type=mov

It reveals Jean using Phoenix powers and wearing her Dark Phoenix costume and also Scarlet Witch in her original outfit though she's not wearing the cape.

 

[Psionic Force]

Thanks Slim! That is great news! Now I cannot wait to see what wallpaper they release of her

And its funny how the video music is from the X-Men cartoon.... I like!

Ok, now what i really like about this game is compared to the first one where everyone had the same animations this one doesn't. like nightcrawler runs on 4 legs and you can tell that everyone that walks on 2 legs have different animations from each other.This game is looking pretty sweet!

 

[The Guardian]

I LOVE THE IMPROVEMENTS ON ICEMAN, HE LOOKS LIKE A MUCH BETTER CHARACTER THAN LAST TIME, NOT THAT I DIDN'T LIKE HIM THE LAST TIME. MY FAVORITE TO PLAY WITH WAS JEAN, HER POWERS WERE SWEET, I'M SO HAPPY THAT SHE'S BACK AND SHE LOOKS BETTER THAN EVER!

 

[Savage]

God damn this game looks awesome. So much detail. It's literally throwing the X-men out of the comics and into the video game world. Marvel is really kicking it up 5 notches with these games. I mean Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is freakin insane in itself and I can't wait for Ultimate Spider-man and Nemesis.

The Marvel ORPG is gonna rock too once that's out.

 

[Rizpower]

I think this will be the first game I buy for both Xbox AND PSP. It seems to be worth it. I just need to figure out how to carry my characters between systems, or at least d/l comparable ones off of Gamefaqs for the PSP.

Here's Sauron's wallpaper: http://mutantvault.xmenlegends2.com/assets/Sauron1024-thumb.jpg
Not as good as the other ones, but you gotta love him.

I'm dying to see what Wanda's other powers are!

 

[Nathan]

Look what I found. 3 in-game screenshots of Deadpool.

#1

#2

#3

 

[taskmaster]

Hell yeah!

 

[Savage]

OH HELL YEAH! SAW THE WAY HE PIMP SMACKED MAGNETO?! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!

Man, a week and a half. Just a week and a half.

Mmm that's weird, in those pics Deadpool's an enemie. I've been thinking that maybe that character selection screen where Deadpool appears is maybe for the Danger Room. The folks at Raven already confirmed that you can play as PCs, enemies, bosses, mini bosses and some NPCs in the Danger Room.

Or maybe you fight him and then he joins you team. Or maybe it's just another clone as we already know that there'll be Deadpool clones.

 

[taskmaster]

I'm thinking Its the danger room.

Ok, I need some info here. Why are there supposed to be Deadpool clones?

I don't know, maybe Dark Beast's job?

I've seen videos of the Savage Land stage where they're fighting a lot of Deapools.

Well he is a merc after all. Or there's always the mind control option. They kidnap him, use his body to create an army, and use him as their leader. You fight him, he snaps out of it, he joins you cause he doesn't like people taking advantage of him. Cue witty quips.

I really hope this is what happens. I really want Deadpool to be playable in the Story Mode.

And if he's playable, I hope he also gets some sweet alternate costumes. Like those here.
