Raven Software needs to do it. MUA2 was sorta fun on the 360 and the PSP (I've played both major versions), but they were missing something that the Raven Software games have.
I liked MUA2, but MUA1 was way better, I hope Raven returns to make 3 if they make one at all, or an XML3
If they do a third, they should bring certain things into the game from XML, XML2, MUA and MUA2. MUA2 had awesome graphics on the 360 and PS3. MUA had awesome stages which made the game very interesting. XML2 brought in the variety of powers, boosts and passives, which made it fun to actually try to level characters up. XML had a really good story line. (Just my opinion) I think they should just take more time into making the game instead of worrying about a deadline. Cause, to me, the more time they spend on making a game, the better it is.
Everyone so far has voted Features? Am I the only one who values a decent story in a game? I suppose that's why I enjoyed the Final Fantasy series so much... -G-
A decent story is needed, Mua2 I think the whole story line was stupid every last bit of it, I didnt like Fusions in 2 or have only 2 costumes but thats just me, I like have a super power for each character, Mua and Xml2 are my favs, Xml1 had a great story but I didnt like it to much
I wonder if there's a Capcom's made for the latest MUA game. Such as has a terminology of MUA & XML series, Ghost Rider & Devil May Cry, Beenox's Spider-Man series and Star Wars TFU series. What could be possibly wrong.
Maybe in MUA3 they should make Galactus the villain,he is big and he said he will have revenge,MUA2 wasnt even a sequel!
Does it have to be one or the either? It is too idealistic to want great features and a great storyline for the XML/MUA series? I think overall, as someone else pointed out, the games from XML going forward have somehow lacked one aspect of the game and yet improved another.
I like having the idea of Decimation as the storyline in MUA3. That way, it can encompass a whole host of villians given Wanda's reality warping powers: from Skrulls to Sentinels? The big bad being Wanda and Mangus of course.
As far as features go, I liked MUA, just improve upon that platform with powersets and costumes. And please developers, can we get a decent female cape? LOL
I don't like the thought of Decimation being the main storyline. Wanda doesn't need to be portrayed as a villain even in games. I especially doubt they would include it considering how recently Wanda has returned and is determined to break the M-Day spell.
But I would like a 30 character roster with a large and consistent story. Keep 4 powers however. I found that in MUA and XML, half the powers were unneeded and worthless. I preferred the MUA2 power system better.
I have to agree with MarvelFan on the Powers and the Decimation. Although the powers worked well in XML2 for me. That might be because it was actually fun to level each power. Then when MUA came, I lost that interest personally. But having just 4 powers and tons of passives really works as well, it's simple.
So far it would seem that X-Men: Destiny will serve as XML3, seeing how it is apparently designed to restore the feel of XML1 with a designated young mutant protagonist (albeit this time a non-linearly developing one).
Imo Destiny is more like a KOTOR and Dragon Age. "Choose your destiny" "your actions will create your destiny, your fate".
Judging from the screens, it's gonna be halfway from here to there. And that ain't bad.
X-men destiny certainly isnt bad, its just that juding from the gameplay, you can give your character TONS of superpowers, meaning not really a standard mutant power (it looked like that to me :P)
Plus, KOTOR and Dragon age (played both) were amazing games, so im actually pretty exited :D
But this is going off-topic XD
I thought of the possibility of a cool idea to do in a game. I felt MUA2 had too much separation with it's choose a side but if the game going in has two big threats to deal with.
The prologue and the first four acts stay the same but when you get to the final act you have to choose. One of the big threats to go after, where you pick one to be like a sub-boss and the other becomes the end boss of the game becoming more powerful and then we can have two separate storylines for the final act and have different endings based on what you choose.
I like the idea of doing one of them be like Galactus but someone else is causing problems on Earth too so it's like, "Do we take out Galactus first and deal with the other guy later" or "shall we deal with the other guy until Galactus gets closer to deal with"
I'd like to see a game ship with a 30 roster which i think should be mostly all heroes unless it includes righteous villains like Magneto or Doctor Doom, who like in the comics, while they've got there own ambitions and causes, they'll lend a hand should they really be needed
I had go for both Storyline and Features... Anyways, I voted for features :domino:
MUA 2 was too short ...Only 3 Acts in the game whereas MUA 1 had 5 Acts....
Oooh, I know! They should make a Marvel - DC crossover game! Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man, and Green Lantern all on one team. Now that'd be awesome.
Unleashing that wet fanboy dream??? ;) I loved that idea though (at first) but on second thought I think doing a cross-over with comics kinda feels not okay for me, I know many of you might dislike my opinion though but what I think is that they (DC, Marvel) need to be in their own special universe because of the striking similarities the characters have against each other..... say for example: Aquaman says "I am the King of Atlantis" ...looks at Namor and asks him "Who are you"??
It would be good if they bring Thanos as a threat (for MUA 3) if they are making Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3... If not Thanos, then Annihilus or someone who seems to be much more of a threat (not underestimating Dr.Doom though) . And yeah not just the characters but a good plot as well.....
EDIT: sorry for the double post
I would love to see multiple acts based on different storylines. Like Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, Siege, War of Kings, Annihilation, Infinity Gauntlet, Fear Itself, etc.
