PS3/360 (Vicarious Visions' version) talk and Official News [renamed]

[marvelfan12345]

I guess you are right.

[Dihan]

Just to point something out:

Vicarious Visions is only making the 360 and PS3 versions so I expect it to be a repeat of Wolverine Origins - we get all the news for those two versions and absolutely nothing on the rest. I know that the Wii version of Wolverine Origins is a completely different game to the 360 and PS3 versions so I suspect the same will be true for MUA2 and PS2, Wii, DS and PSP.

In short:

If you don't own a 360 or PS3 don't expect to be playing the game you've been following for all this time.

Oh, well, it's not for PC anyways...

I've bought the Wii version of Wolv. Orgi. last week, and after playing the game I saw a review of the X360 version on the telly. Indeed a completely different game, and I'm not talking about graphics, but also controls and levels (story-wise).

I guess VV focus on the newest-gen consoles to promote their qualities like "looky me, I made a bad*ss game for the latest gen-consoles". At least, that's the impression I get.

I would say it's more of a "It costs tens of millions of dollars to make this game, and we don't have enough money or time to develop for all platforms ourselves, so lets call in some friends to help us out."

depends on if the story is better or not i think. i bought Splinter Cell: Double Agent for PS2, my friend bought it for X-Box 360. I learned that in order to make the graphics super hi-tech on the 360, parts of the story were cut out. so half of the game didnt make sense. But the PS2 version kept it, making it a better game IMO

[Teancum]

Still, that was at the beginning of the 360's life, so they didn't know what they were getting into.

This isn't necessarily true.
I have MUA1 for the PS3, PS2, (both of which were by Raven) and PSP, (which was by Vicarious Visions) and they were all - essentially - the same game, only the PS3 had shinier graphics, and the PSP had a few more characters.

Just read that MUA2 will be on Activisions list of games to present at E3 so hoefully we get alot more good info about game.

Edit: On the Official site under pre-order, it says you get Juggernaut (only available with pre-order) and MUA2 VIP membership.
So we better all grab VIP membership when that section of the site is up.

They changed the background on the main site.  Cool.

Nice new mural.

[CosmoChakra]

Yeah, and the bios are damn excellent!

Also, Venom in this game is Mac Gargan, the former Scorpion! Let's hope he has some unique moves.

looks good.

I much prefer Eddie Brock as Venom. I hate Mac Gargan and honestly I can't wait till he dies in the comics. No offense to you Mac Gargan fans. Nice to see Eddie though as Anti-Venom in the comics. It would be a cool alternate skin for Venom in the game. The Invisible Woman flying in the mural also gives hope that in the game she can fly.

I'm watching the Gamespot preview of MUA2 with actual gameplay footage. I've noticed something very evident:

Juggernaut uses the exact same animations for his grab smash as Colossus and the Hulk. The one where he grabs an enemy and uses them as a weapon.

Identical.

EDIT: It just finished.

Some things: They showed the beginning and they had Juggernaut, Storm, Captain America and Songbird playable. Two fusions were shown: Captain America reflecting lightning off his shield and Juggernaut running around in a pink spiked hamster ball. The game is very zoomed out - it may be a bit difficult to tell where everything is but that may have been the low quality of the stream.

The first boss is Deadpool. Once he's beaten he offers to join your team at which point you have different responses.

The trailer for Green Goblin was shown. He looks quite cool.
