I think I might actually try this. It looks cool for a free to play game.

Basically a super version of marvel ultimate alliance. Which is all I really want anyway

Brian Michael Bendis is thought the story up for this MMO.

Shut up! We are only talking about the good stuff.

Bendis is okay sometimes with his writing.

Of course the guy with the Mephisto avi would say that.

And i said only "Sometimes".

More like he was good twice

When was that for you?

Probably Spider-Man and Daredevil.

Anyway, yes, I'll be playing this game. My favourite characters are already confirmed.

Ultimate Alliance 3? Pass. I never made it through the first one. Got repetitive. They need to take Marvel out of the Diablo-esque top-down perspective. Too limiting for the majority of characters.

Game is gonna be playable at SDCC. Nice.

I'm gonna be Strange and Dracula. Dracula hopefully of the bat. PUN!

I'm gonna drink all ya'lls blood.dracula

over top camera ruins it

Only 17 characters confirmed! That's hella lame.

17 so far. There's word that there could be up to 1000.

And it IS an mmo. Constant patches ftw.

Yeah I heard that rumor too. But if I don't get my GotD Characters, Drac, GLX and Generation X characters I'm gonna go postal on these creators!

Hell this format is fail anyways! It should be turn based Third Person like KotOR. I hated Marvel Ultimate Alliance. It sucked major balls! I liked Xmen Legends because it focused on a singular team, inside the mansion. With Danger Room scenarios. It worked.

It doesn't surprise me one bit that the creators are focusing on Xavier in the Mansion giving out missions in the same fashion. But with such a large roster CMON!

Vision makes games. Not gimmicks and rehashing of outdated playstyles. All of my fav Marvel games are maybe more than 7 yrs old. And that sucks.

Get the guys from KotOR to make a Marvel Universe tactical fighter game. With such a roster. Because this game reaks of Marvel Ultimate Alliance. In a Baaaadddddd way.

And none of the Passive, Aggresive, Long Range, Short Range attacks, voice activations/freakin Gauntlet style gameplay can possibly even resemble the fun and wonder that playing a real Marvel Universe fantasy could even capture a fraction of.

Im sorry but I've been down this road before. And it failed badly. And a MMO version of a failed game just leaves me in a hateful state.

What the hell is the world coming too? Have you seen Spideys powers in the game? He ain't zipping around the stupid limited screen webbing one guy here and there. He's webbing hlf the freaking screen of fodder!

I'm predicting a fail game here. I've seen the future and it ain't good. A Sentinel appearing on screen should be HUGE! With characters depending on their powerset hiding behind walls or hitting the sky hitting it with time based manuevers. But no this game is gonna have swarms of bots hitting it's feet until it goes down. I can tell this is going to happen.

They should rename this game Marvel Gauntlet 5: Epilectic Spam Police as far as I'm concerned. Freakin Freedom Force looks more interesting than this crap.


WHY CAN'T WE HAVE A DETAILED 3D SANDBOX TURN BASED STRATEGICAL SUPERHERO GAME!

Wait there's gameplay footage beyond the first video?

Simply put, because superhero combat can't be turn based and be like the actual superhero way of fighting. Even DCUO realised that.

It has to be real time.

And I can't understand why you're ragging on MUA, one of the best superhero games of the last several years.

I found MUA to be souless and dull. But each to their own.

On October 1st you can register at the Marvel Heroes website, and put your name in for a chance at the closed beta.

Ill be doing it.

Also, they've confirmed Punisher, Daredevil and Squirrel Girl for the game.

New Trailer:

TihhyhVEMAc

I'm looking forward to seeing a full roster, even if it will take me forever to read.

Same. It might not be the full thousand I heard mentioned, but it should be decent even going by that video.

So far I've seen:

Black Panther
Black Widow
Cable
Captain America
Colossus
Cyclops
Daredevil
Deadpool
Emma Frost
Hawkeye
Hulk
Human Torch
Iron-Man
Ms. Marvel
Punisher
Rocket Raccoon
Scarlet Witch
Spider-Man
Squirrel Girl
Storm
The Thing
Thor
Wolverine

The Offical Site has Model pics too.

Yeah they were most likely exaggerating with the thousand but I'm sure we'll get atleast a hundred.

If I get a growing Hank Pym, I'll be happy.

Yeah Pym better tangle with Sentinels. And Squirrel Girl is there..sweet!

I'm very curious about the how large the roster is going to be as well.

Squirrel Girl.

I was just about to say the same thing. Why oh why cant they ever get it right? What's in the hell is wrong with the Grand Theft Auto/Elder Scrolls sand box look? This just looks like another Ultimate Alliance combo to KO scam.

Finally Punisher in another game, He's been neglected for Marvel games.

Because its a diablo-esque game, not a standard 3rd person action game. I wish they'd make one, obviously, but that's not what this is.

Interview plus actual gameplay:

The guys throwing around the roster having a large number at 2:10.

What got me interested was the large multiplayer. Would love to have 30 friends take on a rampaging Juggernaut in the X-Mansion. All X-men related characters.

Looks alot better than I originally expected.

Scarlet Witch and Hulk Gameplay:

This video shows a bit more of what you can actually do to customise your characters.

Wow the story modes look really fun. Much cooler than MUAs horrible text chat based missions.
The motion comics are cool too, so was that fight with Magneto.

Agreed. I look forward to getting a few friends together and taking on big bosses.

No guarantee, but as they say, if you're not in you can't win.

Want it now.

yay flight.

I must admit this game has exceeded my expectations. It's already far better than the MUA games.

Big announcement today:

They've launched what they call a "Founder's Program" which gives us a glimpse of how their cash shop works:

http://presale.marvelheroes.com/presale_en_us/

Honestly, for what they're offering, those prices don't look half bad.

Okay, so I got a beta key, and have played in the last three beta sessions that they've been running. I'm going to give a brief account of what I've found so far, just to give people an idea about what the game is and whether they might enjoy it.

The first, and most important thing to realise about this game is that it is NOT Ultimate Alliance 3. This is a Diablo style ARPG, and if you've played Diablo at all you'll feel right at home.

At the start of the beta, I was given the opportunity to choose one hero from a possible five (though the beta will allow me to play as other characters as time goes on). I chose Hawkeye.

Upon starting the game I had two powers: One was Hawkeye's standard arrow shot, and the second was a melee attack that would knock an enemy back to allow you to use your arrows on them and to keep them out of melee range.

Left-clicking on the ground moves your character to that point. In fact, the mouse covers all ground movement. Left-clicking on an enemy attacks that enemy with your character's basic attack (Arrow shot). Right-clicking on an enemy does the secondary attack (melee kick).

It's worth mentioning that for ranged characters, if you hold the SHIFT key, your character remains stationary while firing off his attack. That means if you accidentally fire at the ground, your character won't move there and frustrate you.

As you progress through the level, you get drops that are more often than not tailored to your character. So for Hawkeye I was getting bows, quivers and the like. Now, while these did change my stats, they did NOT change my costume. A character's costume in this game has its own slot, so no matter what you equip, the look you like so much is maintained.

Not long after starting, I picked up a bow that gave me a new power ability (which I would have gotten later from levelling, so it was nice to have it earlier). This meant that early on, I already had a wealth of moves. In fact by the time I hit level 3, I already had my standard attack, two trick arrow attacks (freeze and electrify), and the melee kick.

As for the character himself? Hawkeye plays as I would expect Hawkeye to play. Decent voice acting, solid ranged attacks, and he looks and moves much like I would expect the character to.

As I try out more characters I'll give my impressions.

Looks like Ultimate alliance 1, graphics wise lol. gameplay wise too.

Would like a game with a large roster like this, but with gameplay similar too Wolverine: Origins.

It plays like Diablo, and so far it's been enjoyable tbh.

Disney ends its partnership with Gazillion

https://www.newsarama.com/37384-marvel-heroes-shut-down-by-disney.html

No date for when the game would be shut down was given.

I read on the forums it was December 31st. Damn shame.

Started a few months back, I've put in 217 hours into the game and i've only gotten 5 hours to lvl 60.

I'll check mine... Steam says 441 hours, though I've been playing it on and off since launch, so it should have been higher. I have... 28 heroes at 60.

Damn shame they're taking it down, though it has been sliding for a while, I feel. That big update a while back was the beginning of the end, imo.

Also they started to focus more on the console version too, They also had a update planned to bring the PC version more in line with the consoles.

Yeah. Would have been nice to see, too. The UI looked really nice.
