Wii/PS2 (n-Space's version) talk and Official News

[the master$$$]

Yeah probably max 10 will be axesable at the start

I chose Cap's side:
Cap, Spidey, Psylocke, Blade, Hulk, Wolv, Iceman, F4 without Thing, Ms Marvel, Deadpool & Daredevil were available after choosing sides. Mr. Fantastic is on IM's side, so he was locked.

Anyway will Jean have pink psychic effects along with fiery ones? And is Gambit as good as he looks?

[Teancum]

I don't think it'll be long before you find out how they look.  The staff has some of the Wii files and we can confirm animations work for MUA PC.  Until we get the PS2 version files we can't used models and textures though.

[BLaw]

Gambit surprisingly looks like the PS3 version. And playing with him is very cool. The 52 Pickup is now a regular power and a powerful one aswell. Didn't unlock Jean yet, but she has to be unlocked by completing her Bonus Mission.

I'm thinking of buying this for PS2 too.

I tried out Jean's stuff and like i said before she is like her XML2 version only "Mental Burst" is like "Psychic Spike" with the projectile having a fiery trail. "Psionic Boom" has a fire effect and causes enemies to catch on fire. The rest of them are just like the XMl2 pink effects. Gambit has the same attacks he had in XML2, except his xtreme is now a regular attack. Psylocke looks really good, different from her XML1 version. But thats just powerwise, wii animations dont work in XML2 (hopefully ps2 ones do) so i cant say if they are different (but i did read that Gambit has some pretty good fightstyle attacks and a cool grab smash)

Psylocke's fighting animations are all brand new and all very nice. Her power animations are mostly new with one or two reused ones.

[marvelfan12345]

Thanks for the info guys. Does Storm, Torch, Iceman, and Iw have any new powers?

[BLaw]

Nope.

Here are some screenies, and took two (double) specially for marvelfan:

[nodoubt_jr]

no, but Storm's "Lightning Strike" is slightly different, higher ranks increase the number of strikes

[marvelfan12345]

Thanks Blaw. You're the man.

[nodoubt_jr]

awesome, thanks for the pics blaw. Im happy the skins are new, not just reused. Psylocke looks great.

[marvelfan12345]

Oh just saw your post above. Thanks for Storm's info Nodoubt.

Well, that character selection screen looks, well, "uninspired" to say the least. And seriously, no alternative costumes? Especially considering they could've just added any one they wanted from the past games? I can't even come up with a comedic dialog between 2 programmers that explains that decision...

[nodoubt_jr]

I have to sorta agree with that, since its based on the previous games they could have easily included some of the past skins as extra skins. Or since they didnt really redo the powersets, use that time to at least make one new skin.
