marvel ultimate alliance thread
 

so its set to come out 10/25. ebgames.com says if you pre-order you get a special code to unlock silver surfer. so does that mean he will only be unlockable through that code? any idea on confirmed list of villians and heroes. the official website takes forever to load.

Wow, way too many games out/soon to be out. This, FFXII, SvR07, Bully, Guitar Hero.

Need more money :(

Oh and Tony Hawk Project 8 or whatever :(

Or hack your xbox360 drive like me and hire them out and burn em.

SPLINTER CELL: DOUBLE AGENT!

Could give a fuck about Splinter Cell.

Gonna Crank the Lego Star Wars 2 tonight methinks

It's actually pretty damn good to be honest. I'll pick this up when my account is in good shape. What I want to hear more about is Marvel Universe Online.

Think I may pick this and Bully up. This for the Xbox though. I never played Xmen Legends but I know these are RPG type games. I hate FF, or RPGs where you take turns fighting. Although I thought KOTOR was ok. I enjoyed Fable (could have been better) and I like Zelda, although I've been told thats not really an RPG.

But whatever, what would this game be more along the lines of?

Really wish I had my PS2 right about now. Way to much awesome coming out at once.

boondock, i dont like traditional turn based rpgs either but x-men legends 2 and this are more along the lines of action fighting based with the rpg element of being able to alter the stats of your character and give them additional equipment.

each character of your 4 man team has 4 special mutant powers and then you have your basic brawler punch and kick attacks.

how are you supposed to fight Galactus in this?!

Probably the same way you fight the last bosses in the x-men games.

I've been keeping a loose eye on this, so many other games are out when this comes out though.

The only thing I dont like about these kind of games is the way they blend the 616 and ultimate universes.

Can anyone get a list of all the confirmed characters in the game? Hero and Villains please.

(rep will be given of course)

Spider-Man
Logan
Blade
Thor
Elektra
Fantastic Four (All members)
Iron-Man
Cap America
Silver Surfer (via special code that'll end up online anyway)
Ice-Man
Storm
Ghost Rider
Dr. Strange

Punisher?
Hulk?

Sweet list. I heard the Hulk wasn't in this? Can anyone verify this?

Actually the last two are guesstimates of mine. Personally I wanna have Punisher and Blade on the same team.

Ah, also are there any list of confirmed villains?

There hasn't been any coverage on the bad-guys, but one can assume every hero's arch-enemy will make an appearance.

Most of this info is lifted from Wikipedia, so it might not be 100% reliable...

Confirmed playable:

Blade
Captain America
Deadpool
Dr. Strange
Elektra
Ghost Rider
Human Torch
Iceman
Invisible Woman
Iron Man
Luke Cage
Mr. Fantastic
Spider-Man
Spider-Woman
Storm
The Thing
Thor
Warbird (or Ms Marvel, not sure which persona she's in)
Wolverine

Hawkeye, Ronin, Captain Marvel and Nova are supposedly PSP exclusives.

Colossus and Moon Knight are apparently next gen console exclusives.

Rumours that Black Panther, Nick Fury, Daredevil and Silver Surfer will be unlockable. And there's been long standing rumours about Punisher and the Hulk being unlockable, but there's been absolutely nothing besides the suggestion they might be X-Box 360 exclusives, but no word on that.

There's also alternate skins for certain characters that basically turn them into whole new characters. Iron Man has War Machine, Spidey has the Scarlet Spider and there's a few others.

Villains revealed: Abomination, Arcade, Attuma, Baron Mordo, Blackheart, Bullseye, Crimson Dynamo, Dark Phoenix, Deathbird, Dragon Man, Doctor Doom, Dormammu, Empress S'ybill, Enchantress, Executioner, Fin Fang Foom, Galactus, Gladiator, Grey Gargoyle, Kraken, Kurse, Loki, Madarin, Mysterio, Mephisto, MODOK, Radioactive Man, Rhino, Scorpion, Shocker, Super-Skrull, Tiger Shark, Titannus, Ulik, Ultron, Winter Soldier, The Wrecking Crew, Ymir.

Bound to be more to come on top of that though... since some of them are mighty obscure.

There's also a load of NPCs that apparently include some of the Inhumans, the Gods of Asgard, various X-Men members and assorted others.

rhino!? scorpion?! ultron?! luke cage?! gotta get a pre-order on this asap.

Yeah, like it was stated, the Legends games only incorporate elements of RPG games such as leveling up and conversations. But it's very streamlined and a lot more hands-on in terms of action. You'll be doing more ass-kicking than worrying about things like hidden areas, obtaining certain objects, and other traditional RPG stuff. In other words, it doesn't feel like an RPG.

The only real RPG element is the fact your characters level up and gain skills. Otherwise it's way more action orientated.

I heard he's not in it because another game company has exclusive rights for Hulk in video games right now.

For those of you looking for stuff to get free when you purchase the game. Here are some stores offering free suff with purchase of this game.

EB Games/Gamestop: Pre-Order, get the code to unlock Silver Surfer

Target: Free unlockable Daredevil character. (That's what the flyer says, so I'm assuming a code) Quantities limited; no rain checks.

Circuit City: Free X-Men: The official game (X-3) with purchase of the 360 or PS2 titles. While supplies last, minimum 3 per store. 29.99 - 39.99 value.

Best Buy: Free comic book with purchase of any Marvel Ultimate Alliance game. Minimum 16 per store. No rain checks.

Hope this helps some of you.

Silver Surfer and Daredevil are probably going to be unlockable in the game through normal means anyway, so those deals are hardly as wonderful as they seem.

Anybody play the other game, Justice League Heroes?

so far my only complaint is that by default they make all the upgrades automatic and you have to go in to each character and turn off auto upgrade and gear equipping. but an hour in and the game is amazing.

I just gotta Say, Captain America is an fucking beast in this game.

And I <3 Deadpool!

I think someone should buy this for the 360 from me for $40.

I would but already have it, on X-Box and PSP, haven't even touched the PSP version yet

I love this game. Played it for like 7 hours yesterday.

Soooooooooooooooooooooo jealous rite now.

WHY DID I LEAVE MY PS2 IN CANADA?

This game is like 12 kinds of awsome. I'm in Act 3 right now, but I can tell you I will play this 10 times after I beat it.

I just got Justice League Heroes instead of Marvel Ultimate Alliance (I was literally holding them both in my hands and doing a double take over and over again).... starting to wonder if I made a bad choice.

JLH is a lot of fun, but has anyone here played both games? If so, which is better?

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is better, and I'm not saying it because I'm an Marvel Fanboy

Justice League is good, but lacks compared to UA

I didn't like how in Justice League, you had to play as certein heroes in certein levels, No Side Quests, and not very much gameplay (Can beat in 10-15 Hours)

While Marvel UA offers you...24 Playable Characters, the ability to create your own team (As in name and give them an logo as well as giving team stats and having fighters as reserves)

And I've been playing for 15 Hours and I'm still only in the beginning of Act 3 of End of 2, whatever Ashgurd is..

Also just to clarifly, I'm not dissing Justice League Heroes, It's good, I just like Ultimate Alliance Better.

Goddddddddddddd TOO MANY GAMES TO BUY

Yeah, I freakin Know...

Project 8
Dragonball Z: Budokai Technaki 2
I still gotta get Madden this year.

Just Traded Off, Armageddon, thru I didn't want to to get this beauty of an game.

Just beat it. Fucking awesome :cool:

Nick Fury and hard mode unlocked for beating normal. What a waste lol.

LOL @ the credit sequence though.

I liked the whole. "You didnt do this, so this happened" thing.

So, not to do any spoilers, but for the people who beat it, sequel?

If you are asking if I want one YES definitely. Or if you are asking about what they are foreshadowing, I have no formal opinion. I am hoping for the them to take the Infinity Gauntlet route. (Which they could easily do.)

It seems like the most logical choice, since the other two, which would be, Secret Wars, or Civil War, which the later of which would be good, Secret wars would be off, since well, if that was the case...Dr. Doom would still be the main villian..

So there are alternate Endings for this?

I'm still in Asgurd, and saved Nightcrawler, so I'm waiting to see what they causes.

I saved Nightcrawler to.

I dont know if there's alternate endings or not, but after you beat Doom. It tells you the results of your actions, cause and effect stuff..Like say in Asgard, you find that chicks sword, it'll tell you what happened if you found it and vise versca if you didnt.

And Destor I was talking about at the end after you beat Doom, and the thing with Galactis(sp) saying he'll crush them for stealing from him

LowDownM Galactus (thats is how you spell it) will probably have a huge roll in the next game, but I'm thinking Thanos might be the boss. But that's just my opinion.


Can you save both Jean and Nightcrawler? I tried everything I could think of but I couldn't do it.

Also I got all of the hidden charecters (with out cheating.) Here is what I think of them:

Nick Furry is decent at best, easily the worst of the bunch, but still better than people lie Electra and the Invisible Woman. If you the costume witrh the increased chance of critcal strikes and an item the greatly increases criticals he becomes a very effective charector when using the sniper shot move. VERY effective.

Black Panther is next on the list. He plays like a Woverine mixed with Electra. Wolverines moves, Electra's strength and speed. The speed is nice, but he is just too weak when I can take people like Thor or Iron Man. But he still plays better than Furry.

Daredevil almost ties with the Surfer in my opinion. What a chraector. Using his origional skin you can increase his XP rate and his baton Damage, this makes him awesome. Once you max out that baton move where it basically throws it at them then pulls it back to hit them twice he will be able to kill most grunts in one blow. I only wish he could use his grapple to web sling...

The Silver Surfer is the man, he is the Cylcops of the game. Between gis charge blast and the uber powerful Molecular Mix-up he is unstoppable. I currently have him at level 34 and I cant get the mollecular mix-up higher than level 4 and it is the second or third most powerful move I have seen. Once maxed out it will be insane. Quite the charecter.

Non hidden MVP:

Thor. I started playing him in Asgard, and holy shit, he has some that hit hard. Plus he can fly and deal somepowerful blows from where a lot of charectors cant hit him. Add in the power elemental and he is the man.

Spider-man, Iron Man, Wolverine, Human Torch, and Captian America are also REALLY good to have around.

I'm so close to getting this but I'm still not sure if I'm gonna get a 360 anytime soon...UGHHH.

Same with Justice League Heroes. I'm thinking of getting both of them...and I want a game to play but dunno if I should hold off...

I almost waited for this and after playing I am soooooooooo glad I didn't.

It's an all format title, not just a 360 game.

Well, all formats excpet the Gamecube, anyway.

Yeah I just meant that if I do get a 360 then I would obviously get this for that. So I dunno if I should hold off until I get a 360, but I dunno if that's gonna be soon, U C.

If you just have to have Moon knight and/or Colossus then wait. If not GET IT NOW.

Just went to order it off Amazon...says In stock soon. Order now to get in line. First come, first served. And when I got to the checkout, it said estimated ship date for this item November 29th - December 12th or some shit.

Fuck that. Guess I'll goto Toys R Us or EB and get it but I am lazy so I dunno when that'll be.

Has it been so popular that it is selling out everywhere or something? WTF Amazon, you've never let me down before. :( This is the Xbox version, BTW. I guess I could get the PS2 version...


Should I get JLH to hold me over? There seem to be plenty of those...which could be a bad sign...

I got the last one from Wal-Mart, so I dunno.

Also do not get JLH. I played it at a freinds and it's not worth it.

Well, poop then.

I don't know whether to get the PS2 version now, or wait for the Wii version on the 19th.

Played it at an EBGames. Sweet. DeadPool's cool.

Just ordered it off EBGames.com. :cool:

If it sucks, I get to punch Destor in the face.

I have nothing to fear. :cool:

Good call. :y:

Deadpool is indeed awesome.

"And now i'm better at whatever it is Wolverine does" That and uh, since Spidey, Wolverine and Ghost Rider all died in the room before the final boss in that other realm, I beat it with just Deadpool alive..took forever lol.

Yeah, Deadpool got some great quotes

As Already stated...Now I'm better at doing whatever it is, Wolverine Does

I'm low on Energy but Rich in Vitamin C

I need Help! and A Pony!

We'll Just going to the mall this time, Right?

Thoses are just ones I remember off the top of my head.

Hey Boondock, if it makes you feel any better I would have never watched Boondock Saints if it wasn't for your screen name.

:love:

It looks like it has shipped, says it will arrive tomorrow. We'll see.

Anyone got this on PS2 and got online, I'm thinking we should get together and do an team battle.

No oline. Dont even know how. If you tell me, I might do it though.

Well, you got an Cable/DSL or Higher Modem and an Network Adapter or just an slim ps2...

Let me know that info and we'll go from there.

Cable, no network adapter.

so I take it, you have the original PS2 and not the Slim one?

Yeah.

Well I guess I can't help you there then...

Oh well, playing it online tomorrow, is proberly an good thing, considering I don't have a headset to heal some whiny emo 13 year olds, bitching when I kick there asses in the Arcade Mode.

:(

Wait...When did you get your original PS2 that you used, because at some point, I beleived they all came with Network Adapters...well mine did.

Bought for $100 off a feign. No clue when it was made.

Got it. Good stuff so far, having trouble beating Bullseye though.

I'd still like to punch you in the face, Destor. That cool?

Gimme one good reason and I will go outside and headbutt a brick wall, deal?

I don't know whether to get this for PS2 or wait and get it for the Wii. It could get annoying if you have to shake the wiimote everytime you hit someone though. Using for special moves could be awesome though.

So my friend and I played up through the Omega base mission. Going to Atlantis next it seems.

I've become accustomed to Deadpool (throwing guys in the air and impaling them on the sword as they fall is all kinds of sick). The double shot is pretty cool too. Teleport has come in handy for me more than once.

It seems we pretty much keep the same team going:

Deadpool
Captain America
Wolverine
Spider-Man


It's a pretty badass team. Iron Man and Thor and Human Torch are cool too. Haven't used anyone else yet.

How do you change the team name?

Once it's set you can't change it. (At least I don't how to if you can.)

This game rocks.

Deadpool is hillarious I love his convos with Weasel, Black Widow and The Ancient One.

I'm running a modified Marvel Knights team (accidently chose that name and now I can't change it lmao) of: Deadpool, Spiderman, Wolverine and The Thing, total badass team, especially since I can do the fastball special with Wolvie and Thing :love:

SHIELD point or whatever the save points are called.

Hmmm?

My team is Team Bitchcakes with Spidey, Deadpool, Captain, and Wolvie. I'm on the mission where you have to save Jean Grey and Nightcrawler.

Unlocked Dr. Strange and Blade, haven't used them yet.

Way to change what you wrote.


Jackass.

WHat did I originally say lol, I can't even remember

Haven't played a game in like a year, but bought this one and now i'm on it 2 hours a day. Very cool..especially the costumes. My customized team I got Deadpool,Panther, Ghost rider, and Ironman.

Anyone play on Live yet? If so, how is it?

Hey Funky
 

While I'm thinking about it, you can now do powers while you fly. Thought you'd enjoy that.

Yeah, makes my playthrough as Ironman, more enjoyable.

And insanely simple.

Screw flying, I just select Spider Man and websling through the levels.

But I can't fight whilst web-slinging...:(

It's still fun to do.

Also, Wovie is mad overpowered when he gets his red dots all filled up. I took down Evil Spider Man and who ever the other evil version of the hero was while he was all "enraged" I guess you would call it.

Yeah, but it takes soooooo long to get his moves leveled up it's almost not worth playing him until he's like level 50.

Kinda sucks that you can't fly/websling over doorways but have to go under...:wtf:

Word on the street is Ghost Rider can bring people back to life. Yes?

Yes. I'm pretty sure it's a passive triat (one of his costumes.) Here's a little something I found on it:

Use the following trick to make a hard to kill team. Create a team consisting of Wolverine, Blade, Luke Cage, and Ghost Rider (Bad To The Bone team). The team bonus will be that 5% of all damage will be regained as health. Also, all these characters have a way to regenerate health. Equip the following outfits. For Wolverine, Astonishing, max out Health Regen and Defense. For Blade, Ultimate, max out Health Regen and Defense. For Luke Cage, New Avengers, max out Health Regen and Defense. For Ghost Rider, Original, max out Resurrect Ally and Defense. It is also recommended that Ghost Rider be equipped with The Heart Of Mephisto (10% of attack damage turned into health) or a similar item because he is the only character without a Health Regen. Equip other characters with gear that increases defense or dodging capabilities. Not only will your team be difficult to hurt, but they will be absorbing and regenerating most of the damage they take. If a teammate dies, Ghost Rider will have about a 50% chance of resurrecting them. Note: Ghost Rider is the weak character. He does not regenerate, and if he dies resurrection is lost. Also, Wolverine will regenerate the fastest because he has an inherit ability to regenerate in addition to the suit's bonus.

you could also add Deadpool into that, as well, forget which costume accerates his healing factor.

Do most of you play it on normal mode or easy? I have it on easy, cuz I suck at video games..but i'm wondering if it also revives your heroes after they get killed on normal?
