I don't know much about the gameplay but this is looking like the next MUA type game...
Here's from Marvel's website: http://marvel.com/news/story/18710/ubisoft_and_marvel_assemble_the_avengers_in_battle_for_earth
QuoteUbisoft and Marvel Entertainment have joined forces to develop a video game based on the popular Avengers characters and other heroes and villains from the Marvel Universe.

Developed by Ubisoft Quebec, "Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth’s" interactive environments are inspired by iconic Marvel comic artwork and the Secret Invasion storyline. The game will be released this fall for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft with Kinect for Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii U system.

“We are excited to team up with Marvel Entertainment to bring some of the most iconic comic book characters from the Marvel line-up to life in motion-gaming,” said Tony Key, US senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. “Fans of the Marvel universe and superhero games are going to love the extensive combinations of characters, motion-controlled moves and competitive gameplay.”

“For the last few years, Marvel has positioned itself to deliver the absolute best in entertainment, be it in film, animation, comics or games,”  said Andreea Enache-Thune, senior vice president of games and digital distribution at Marvel.  “Partnering with Ubisoft is a big part of that ongoing movement. We are confident that Ubisoft’s talent matches Marvel’s own commitment to making the "Avengers: Battle for Earth" the best in the motion-controlled gaming category.”

"Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth" features 20 different characters, including Avengers such as Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor, as well as other fan-favorite super heroes and super villains from the Marvel Universe.

Well, it is a Kinect game, so not many of us will play it. A big meh... for this one

I have a kinect, and I must say I really dont like it at all. When I saw it I thought it looked so cool, and then I started playing it and I hated it. So I dont have high hopes for this game.

I don't like the idea either.  I have the Wii and when MUA came out I rented it, and it was weird moving the wiimote same with mua 2 when using it to point at things.  I think motion platform games should not be mixed with superhero-like games.  It just doesn't seem to translate well into the game.  I think superhero games, for the most part at least remain button mashers.  I think it would've been fine if mua was button mashing on the wii.

Way I see it, is that all those family games should be realesed on either Wii or Kinect, but games where people might take things a little more seriously (this one for example) should really just be realesed for playstation 3 or xbox 360 or pc Also, really? Only 20 characters? Those characters better be detailed

Oh, if it will be as good as Kinect Star Wars, then this game is already doomed.

As much as I know, they will only release it on Kinect-equipped Xbox 360s and the Wii U

We now have a non-gameplay trailer. Graphics and models look shiny but I'm still worried about gameplay >,< maybe we'll be able to rip some of the models for MUA though?
There's also some pictures here:

well 2 different gameplay fotage was posted on you tube, the awesome much better cooler first person Deus Ex type canceled version and the crap 2d fighting game version that they say they are sticking with
Title: Re: The Avengers: Battle for Earth
Post by: CmdrRiker1701D on October 02, 2012, 10:53AM
Well, the demo is available on the XBOX Marketplace (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Marvel-Avengers-Battle-for-Earth/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802555308ad?downloadType=GameDemo&noSplash=1). Its like a "Kinect" 3rd person fighting game, with a little Marvel vs Capcom team fighting flair. Unfortunately, the controls aren't as responsive as you'd hope, which tends to be the story with most every Kinect or motion-controlled game. The demo says you can select between 4 characters... what they should say is that you are forced to play as 2 characters, and therefore forced to play against the other 2. You control Hulk and Thor while you battle against Skrull Captain America and Skrull Magneto. It allows you to get used to how the fighting controls are set up, although it usually doesn't go as planned when putting it into use.

The character models do indeed look very detailed, very awesome and comic-book-esque. And as a lot of people have said, if this was a controller-based game instead of a Kinect game, then it might actually have been welcomed with open arms by more gamers and Marvel fans alike. As for me, I'll probably get it because I'm a die-hard Marvel fan... I have some of the Marvel games on XBOX 360 that some people might cringe to even think of (Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man II), but I can't help it. (I am also a die-hard Star Wars fan, although I don't get every Star Wars game that comes out... I did, however, get Star Wars Kinect... and was seriously let down.)

Anyway, try it out for yourself and see what you think. The game will be available in stores on October 30th.

Well, there is going to be a Wii version of the game, and I believe I saw someone using Wii models/skins in MUA, so its possible.

New heroes confirmed such as Jean Grey/Phoenix and Scarlet Witch. Looks like I have to add this game to my wishlist...that and a Kinect ;)

I am excited to see some of the new characters, but is it just a 2D boring looking game or does it actually look like fun?

It's not 2D, but a 3D fighting game like MvC3. Besides the fact you can't use a controller, it looks pretty cool (and since I'm awful at fighting games, with a controller, this may be better for me personally.) Has an arena, versus mode, the works.

The 18 heroes and villains in the picture will be playable alongside Super-Skrull and Queen Veranke.

I've never played it so I'm curious to give it a try and see why people dislike it so much :D

Post by: Midnightphoenix on October 18, 2012, 04:08PM
I just find it a bit hard to manage. If you even put like one foot off the area of the sensor it stops everything, or doesn't work. And the people in most of the games that you control look incredible limp while you are attempting to work your butt off. I don't know I like the wii a million times better then the kinect.
Title: Re: The Avengers: Battle for Earth
Post by: MarvelFan12345 on October 18, 2012, 04:48PM
Thanks for the info. Much like you, I will probably end up buying the game (and Kinect) anway just because XD.

Post by: jhiand on October 19, 2012, 04:57PM
guys I think this game isn't as great.. I'd rather have the THQ's marvel avengers game over this one. This current game seemed to be more child friendly that THQ's avengers and the detail of gameplay seemed to be a bit lazy. Also adding the kinect feature is a stupid idea.. with THQ I'm pretty sure it looked like it can be ported to pc with 1st person view, more mmo like which is great in my opinion.
Title: Re: The Avengers: Battle for Earth
Post by: Midnightphoenix on October 19, 2012, 05:11PM
Well like I said I am just gonna get it because, and because it has Jean in it. But that being said I will not get it right when it comes out I can wait awhile until it drops to like 20 bucks or something. Because I am no fan of the kinect
Title: Re: The Avengers: Battle for Earth

Definitely keeping my eye on this game as Jean's in.  :phoenix:

Same here. I'm not fond of the game itself, and the kinect too But since Jean is in the game i'll take a look :) Happy that today developpers include Jean in most of Marvel Games (Still wondering why they make her die each time in the comic books though..)That proves that we are not the only ones who love Jean Grey :)
At least Include her in the cast is smart

It's narcissism and sarcasm. Jean fans love her, Jean fans whine to get her back. They make Jean return but don't want her really, so they kill her off for sarcasm.

I'm just joking :P But hey they might as well be doing it because it seems like it O_o. She's in every Marvel game and yet you don't even see her in comics, just clones and daughters and girls with red hair who resemble Jean because they are out of originality.

Ontopic: the game sucks. The effects look awesome but that's just it. That was my opinion lol.

Hey you may be joking but It's the simple truth. Glad someone can translate my thoughts :D That's what i think She's not even an Avenger And I have the feeling they included her to save the game because the gameplay looks weird. But it worked for me since now I am trying to see Jean in action : P

Haha I wouldn't say she is "saving" the game, but I think they know that Jean has a large fanbase and several of those fans will cash in on this game because of her. Like you, me, Midnightphoenix123, Darkmaster20, etc. Throughout the Jean Grey fan-threads, I've seen lots of interest in this game because of her inclusion so obviously she garners attention. It is nice to see her in so many games these days: MUA2, MvC3 (and Ultimate), Avengers Alliance, Super Hero Squad Online, Marvel Heroes, etc.

I have to agree, honestly if Jean wasn't in this I probably wouldn't have considered buying it. The game like Blaw said really doesn't look that great at all, but Jean is the deciding factor for me.
