looks less poo than the trailer, but why all the slow mo? It's like 300.

[Kalyx triaD]

Looks like they wisely adapted Arkham Asylum's mechanics.

[Funky Fly]

Hopefully it's not gonna be another Iron Man. I'm already not expecting anything.

[Dave Youell]

Looks shit

[Jeritron]

Yea it doesn't look too impressive. I hope it's good though. I wish all great superheroes could get a game even half as great as Arkham Asylum was.
It usually feels like Marvel's adventure games suck. Not that DC's are great either. Need I mention Superman's previous efforts? Mainly Batman:Arkham just kicked ass. I need more of that level of quality

[Funky Fly]

Seriously, Sierra should do all of Marvel's shit. Activision is gaying up the X-Men Legends/Ultimate Alliance franchise by watering down the best elements, Sega can't get the movie games right. Seems like only Capcom's got things on lock, but that's only for fighting. Sierra modified the Spider-Man 2 (an already great game) engine to give us Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. That game was glorious.

Sierra were closed when Vevendi were bought out by Activision...

[Funky Fly]

Gay.

I remember enjoying those X-Men Legends games when they came out. It was basically just like Gauntlet Legends but a lot of fun.

I played the recent ones though, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance game. I believe it was the one based on Civil War.
Anyways, I feel like the whole focus of those games is just how many characters they can include and the cinematics of it.
The novelty of switching characters is like 80% of the game, I feel. Otherwise, playing it is pretty boring after a matter of minutes, once you've seen what your character can do. You just kick ass, and it's impossible to die, so there's really no insentive not to space out here and there and just not try.
I pretty much was just talking about other things with my friends while playing it. It was just something to keep my hands busy.

[Funky Fly]

Ultimate Alliance 1 and the X-Men games were glorious. Very little in the way of cinematics and it was more to do with puzzling out which characters worked best in a given situation and what teams did the most damage, etc.

[Jeritron]

I enjoyed playing the X-Men games immensely. I believe one of them came out when I was a freshmen in college and I got so much multiplayer joy out of it with my roomates.
It was almost as much fun as I had playing 6 player X-Men arcade at Papa Gino's with my friends after school. ALMOST

[Funky Fly]

the Civil War one watered everything down. Characters were reduced to 3 or 4 interchangeable "types". They took out all the individual super moves for the shitty "combined powers" super moves (5 types I think). They pretended to add replayability, but basically had one level swapped with another at precisely 1 point in the game. Very little story branching at all.

[Funky Fly]

Traded it in after a week. :(

[Jeritron]

Might buy X-Men Legends 2 and play it. Will it play on PS3 or am I going to have to hook up my PS2?

[Jeritron]

So Ultimate Alliance 1 is juicy? Maybe I'll get that

Do you know what model of PS3 you have? Some are backward compatible and some aren't.

Yeah, def get it.

It's the slim. I got it earlier this year.

I am going to get Ultimate Alliance though. I never bothered trying it because I played part 2 at a friends house and was a bit bored by it like I said, but based on what you're saying and some stuff I just read it's way better.

I'm also seeing that there's a slew of DLC characters for 360, but not PS3. Why is the entire world against me?
Either way this character roster looks mint

[Funky Fly]

Yer. Slim is not backward compatible, but apparently there is an attachment coming to make it backward compatible.

[Jeritron]

They are fucksticks for not making it backward compatible.

Ultimate Alliance is way cheap so I'm probably going to get it tomorrow. Ever notice how Punisher is not in any of these games? It stuck out to me looking at the list. Hasn't he been confirmed as not being in MV3 either? Has Marvel disowned Punisher lately?

[Funky Fly]

He could still be in MvC3, it's just unlikely seeing as everyone has guns it seems.

Punisher isn't really a team up guy, since everyone he teams up with kinda tends to die or hate his guts for being a psycho. Definitely needs his own m rated game tho.

In the 90s he was in like 9 million team ups, half of them with Spider-Man involved.

[Fignuts]

Never cared for the legends/ultimate alliance games. The hack n slash genre just felt too restricting to me, given the power of the characters. Always felt superhero games should be like prototype and ultimate hulk. Those games make you really feel like you are playing as a superhero.

In the 90s, people also thought carnage was not just good, but one of the best chaacters ever. There's very little that happened in the 90s that wasn't terrible, and that goes double for anything involving Spider-man. :-\

I feel you there. IH:UD was exactly what you'd expect a good representation of the Hulk to be.

What's wrong with Carnage? I don't think he's one of the best characters ever, but I don't see why he's not good.
I never read comics in the late 90s though, and I don't really know much about him past Maximum Carnage.

I think I liked early 90s Spidey, but that may be more of me liking the 80s Spidey and that just carrying over for a few years.

[Fignuts]

He was a cookie cutter villain, made solely to milk the popularity of Venom.

[Jeritron]

Sure, but he was different enough to be entertaining. At least they upped his powers and put the suit on a different type of villain. I don't think there's any doubt that most people's enjoyment of him was mostly aesthetic.
Again, I never read many Carnage stories after Maximum Carnage. I don't doubt that the character lacked a depth, but I enjoyed the Maximum Carnage crisis enough.
