I think we all pc gamers need an answer, why no pc verion?
Pc gamers are more than conloses gamers i think, all persons have a pc, i but the original mua and i want to buy this mua2 also if there come a pc version.
Activision, pc version more money, so open your eyes and don't do the error like Sega with ironman and hulk pc versions.
Nothing has been said that there is going to be or not going to be a pc version .
So wait and maybe something will be announced .
Well first off, when MUA was originally announced a few of the consoles weren't mentioned yet their orders were still filled - the consoles that have been mentioned NOW are probably the one's the game will be built for - the PC version and a few others will probably be ported from those consoles *shrug*
That and I honestly don't think MUA1 did nearly as well on PC. I bet it'll still be ported, but it probably won't be released until after the console versions. Then again, we're talking about Vicarious Visions.
According to the IGN and the Wiki the game IS coming out for the PC... but since both those sites are about as reliable as my father, I'm remaining skeptical.
Wikipedia sources IGN, so consider it only one source. And it's a well known fact among video game Wiki writers that vendor sites pretty much guess what platforms a game will come out on until all of the platforms are announced.
Ok, now this is kinda weird. In a YouTube, MUA 2 is only for:
XBOX 360 LIVE, Nintendo DS & Wii, we know there will be on PS, but i don't
know which one/two:
One:
PLAYSTATION 3/PlayStation 2/PSP
Two:
PLAYSTATION 3 & PlayStation 2/
PLAYSTATION 3 & PSP/
Playstation 2 & PSP
or
This 3 PS(2, 3 & Portable)System.
Game Informer Magazine confirmed only the PS3, 360 and the Wii. The DS was confirmed in the trailer for the game. PSP might get it, but PS2 probably won't.
Or they'll just keep it under wraps the same way they did with MUA *shrug* we're probably just gonna have to wait and see <_<

I don't understand, why the original Mua come for pc and the sequel not.
Vicarious Visions haven't made a PC game for years.

Like I said before nothing has been said about that there is not going to be one.
And the consoles that the game WILL be released on only being confirmed in a trailer I'd hardly call that confirmation either.
We'll just have to wait and see until they give us the official announcement

I'd call that the clearest confirmation ever other than the company saying "HEY, IT'S COMING OUT FOR THESE PLATFORMS!" The trailer was made by Activision (the publisher) themselves so I'd say that's pretty clear. I'm not trying to make waves but I don't see how that isn't clear information as to the release platforms.
Star Trek Legacy was retracted from two consoles even though they were announced in a trailer. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was announced for the PC but also retracted. Tales of Symphonia 2 was announced for the GameCube but it too was retracted. Do you get it? What they've put into the trailer are the consoles their PLANNING on putting the game out on - plans and design specs change.
Companies sometimes jump the gun or make commitments they can't meet. Its been my experience that until the company confirms the stuff put forward by a trailer that the trailer itself is lukewarm proof at best.
Firstly, The Force Unleashed was never officially announced for PC. I've followed that one very closely from day one. I'm an admin at a Star Wars gaming site and we keep very close tabs on all the rumors and official news for Star Wars games.
And while you're right on the rest, if a trailer isn't official, then literally nothing is official till the game comes out. I realize platforms get canceled due to budget cuts and whatever other reasons but news from a publisher via a trailer or official statement is still official news. If they cut or add a platform later that's different. But they could say on 1,000 news sites it's coming out for X, Y and Z platforms, and retract one, trailer or no.
I guess what I'm saying is by that way of thinking there's no official word at all until it's on the shelves.
Exactly ^^
Call me crazy, but all the game magazines and trailers and 'official company announcments' in the world have been wrong more than once - and they'll be wrong again. I take what I see when I see it.
Personally, I've got no problem with debates and all... FANTASTIC way to express views and opinions on matters both menial and important. As for my PERSONAL opinion? I'm not buying into what the trailer is selling until the game is on the shelves and I know what consoles are and are not handling it.
I, also, am not trying to make waves here. Just stating my own personal opinion and views just as everyone else has.
if theres no pc version, i am gonna seriously harm myself. thn ill sue activision for sending me into maniac depresion.....
I hope there's a PC version because if a certain character (I'm no longer allowed to name in topics like this), isn't in it, I'll be putting in a request for a character mod if the game comes out for the PC and try to wait until one is made, though I may go insane and ask that when muafan sues the company for driving him into maniac depression, that he also sues them for not putting in this "character I cannot name".

No pc version :(
http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/rpg/marvelultimateallianceiifusion/index.html?tag=result;title;1
Well, it seems Gamespot doesn't have a page for the DS version (should be http://www.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/marvelultimateallianceiifusion/index.html ), which is confirmed in the trailer, so once again, we can't say if it'll come out for PC or not, at least for the moment.
Don't count any site unless it's Officially related to Vicarious Visions, Activision, or Marvel Comics. So a trailer would be as official as it comes, a press release, etc. Often vendors get the platforms wrong.
THO they may decide to convert it to pc cuz didt grig say they may add a new console and from teancum (bold and..... added by me)

Why no Pc version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blackshake:
In the first trailer about spider-man 3 there isn't the icon of Pc but then we have the pc version, so maybe we have the pc version..
[
so hopefully theyll be a port. maybe we should do a MUA2 FOR PC pention people? how much do game companies listen to consumers?
I ask to beenox about spider-man web of shadows and mua2 but i dont recibe any asnwer.
When i revibe that i post here.
yes but maybe a mass pention theyll listen too. maybe if we blackmail them by saying that all that sighn the pention will not buy the other versions if they dont hearken unto our voices. maybe go so far to say no buying Activision games. anyway luciano i dont think beenox are the right people too ask.
oh, can u brush up on ur english grammar. please.
Petitions never work. What you gotta hope for is the game to sell really, really well so they want to port it to PC.

Nice Tommy!
I don't think that, i do a petition for force unleashed and nothing, for superman retunrs and nothing, for jedi knight 4 and no version.
I don't think about petiton, not work.
I doubt if there's any real hope for the PC if the company doesn't pull a lemon out of its hate and surprise us. If they aren't going to let it loose for the PC then however many petitions we write or protests we organize, they'll probably just ignore them.
After all, PROFITING off of gamers is what they do for a living - not listening to them ;) If they did listen... Silver Surfer would have been WAY more powerful and there would have been a lot more X-Men in MUA 1.
Any news about mua2 for pc, it is official not pc version?
I want it for pc :(, why no beenox no raven soft.
No news yet, but there is still lots of time. The game isn't supposed to come out until 2009.
The release date it ins't 2009?

No.
Nope.
i just hope that they do make a PC version of MUA2 and that it would be able to mod it like the first one
It is just disapointing to see the ironman pc game by sega and hulk by sega, so we need mua2 for pc.
i completely agree with u luc
You guys give up way to easy. Just be patient. Just because PC hasn't been announced doesn't mean it won't be out for PC. Do you think Activision and Marvel wouldn't release the biggest Marvel game on PC? Maybe it's too early to announce, or maybe they haven't got a contract with anyone to port it yet.
yea you make a very good point
Hopefully they will release it for PC, I also hope they release some exclusive characters for the PC. :D
I also need the pc version :P :)
(Hopefully they will release it for PC, I also hope they release some exclusive characters for the PC) means mua2 come out for pc :S i'm confused
If they won't release it for PC that will be their fault. There's two Superhero MMO's on its way for next year (Champions Online (which is Cyrptic's new project after canceled Marvel Universe Online) and DC Universe Online). So instead of what i do now (taking a soft break from City of Heroes and playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance again) i will jump between those three online games.
MUA2 for PC: Nice
MUA2 not for PC: Their lost
Hopefully they'll pull a GTAIV on this one: waiting some time after the game was released in consoles before they announce it for the PC.
Maybe Gevth, like assassin's creed, i want it for pc like sw the force unleashed, sw battlefront 3 asn sw kotor 3.
I talked to the Activision people at Comic-Con San Diego over the summer about MUA2 for the PC. Here's what they said:
It is NOT coming out for PC.
Naturally, I asked why. Their reply was:
There is not enough market for it.
Not suprising.
One more thing to kill Mua modding :(
Will have to get Mua2 for Wii then.
if they not coming out mua2 for pc its their lost. :@
I think we are left to see if they change their mind...me personally MUA is the first game for PC i'm buying and all because this site...i mean here (this will sound corny but..)people...modders...make you able to play as your most favourite character right?,i think that is a nice call for people to want the game..it made me want to buy MUA and now i want to buy XML2 too just because of the mods still if the game is awesome and interesting i might buy it for x-box 360 or less likely wii
:nightcrawler: :dust: :psylocke: :wolverine::hellion: :surge: :cd: :cball: :strange:
Same for me, thx to the modders im playin the game for the xth time with different chars
Let´s hope Activision has an understanding

I dont see why they would have any intentions on making a pc version seeing as how well this thread on their forums is going : http://www.herohq.com/forums/viewthread/531/
Maybe everyone from MarvelMods should join up and add their names to the list ?
@Remy , I dont think we have thousands of mods here.
I really doubt you'll see a PC version. When you build for a console it's much cheaper, because (for example) every Xbox 360 does exactly what every other Xbox 360 does. But building it for PC means building it for single, dual and quad core processors, AMD/Intel chips, numerous graphics cards, etc. It's very expensive to build a PC game.
Yeah I guess your right Teancum but it still would be good to actually show them there are people that want one.
I'm sure they know that, but let's say it costs 500,000 US dollars to port it to the PC, but you only earn 575,000 US dollars in sales. That's what the issue comes down to. They just don't sell enough for the PC version to make it worth it, especially when they have it for nearly every console.
maybe theyre sick of certain individuals pulling their game apart and changing it :P

K, 999 ^-^
I just can´t accept i have to buy a 360 (for now :-) )
Why would they bother. I doubt that the first MUA sold very well on PC, rare few bought the came, in comparison to console version. PC gaming is niche when it comes to profits these days, piracy is killing the hobby quite effectively. And petitions? Oh please.
And yes, I'm also quite annoyed if it doesn't come out for PC, I'm keeping up the fools hope against all odds.
I hope that MUA2 is developed for the PC. I have no other platform to play the game. I'll just stick with MUA for the PC and see if any new mods are developed using information from the sequel.

It sucks if they don't fo PC version, as they probably won't. Well I'll then just buy PS3 or something (if I have enough money)
I do have a PSP, but it's different. I most likely will get it for PSP, but MUA2 looks like a game that needs some space to show it's power, which PSP is not.
I'll probably get it for the 360.
I just hope there isn't a ton of exclusive characters for each console.

This is true for me too, i only have a pc to play it on. If it doesnt get released for pc, then at hopefully at least we can get some stuff from the PS2 version like skins or skeletons to use in MUA1.

Well if they know anything about MarvelMods.com or any other custom content, they would know that the PC version would sell better because more people would buy it for customization purposes.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if this is exactly why they don't want to release a PC version.
Maybe it's just their fear that when they release for PC, fans keep making the games better than they do. :D
I think it's all down to the fact pc-warez is very big, and on consoles it's a lot less; so the most money is being made on consoles; so no need for a pc version.
I always hope they think; ah well, console sales are good enough, we can risk a pc version :+

We have a total of 1,708 members, and only about 1/5 of those have posted more than ten posts. We're not even a drop in the bucket when it comes to money. That argument works with something like Half-Life or Unreal Tournament games, but not MUA or XML2. We don't have 1/100th of the people we'd need to do the sort of sales to influence them.
I wouldn't count on a PC version, at least not from Vicarious Visions. They're notorious for not porting to PC. However Beenox and Aspyr often port console games to PC after they're released on consoles, so I wouldn't give up all hope. I just wouldn't expect to see a port the same day it's released on consoles.
I do really hope they port it to the PC but I'm not sure if they will - I've got a 360 anyway so I can play it but on PC would be cool too.

Except you have to figure that MUA2 will eventually do what MUA1 did, and port most of the "exclusive" characters over using Xbox Live.
if i can't remember wrong mua 1 don't come out pc for first time but later realese pc version few weeks or months later. Maybe same way for mua 2 :S
Most releases for MUA1 were staggered.
XBox was first, followed by PC, PS2, 360 and GBA, then the Wii and finally the PS3.
I hope they followed same way for mua 2
I doubt you'll see a PC version, and if you do it will be a few months later. Vicarious Visions hasn't done a PC port in years.
Hopefully Activision will realize what many other companies have (that you can make a ton of money on PC so long as you aren't trying to use a business model from 1995 in 2010) and give us a PC version. If not, oh well. The games are generally pretty mediocre, RPG-VERY-lite, and the only thing that really elevates them is the license. I'd rather have it on PC than not have it, but if it doesn't show up, I won't lose sleep.
The site doesn't saying anything about PC version aleast right now did that happen on MUA 1?
Nope.
It really has more to do with Vicarious Visions having stopped doing PC games - they haven't done them in years. Marvel got a good deal with them and - right now - good deals are preferred over what the modder segment of the populace might think about their video game
Good deals will always be preferred. Especially with a game like this. This ain't Half-Life 2 -- I'd say less than 10% of the sales from MUA1 were PC. Why should they spend all that money for a PC port when they can make the same by coaxing folks to buy it for a console, PLUS offer DLC for cheap?
I'm sorry guys -- but the possibility of a PC port is small, and more than that the possibility that we'll be able to build new mods for MUA2 is about 20x smaller. Get it for a console
Yes but with the economy as it is its even MORE preferred - I wasn't trying to make a fight I was just saying that it was more expected right now than it would have been say two years ago.
I will tell them: if they don't I poke them with toothpick! Then again, maybe I won't...

The gaming market actually hasn't really been affected by the woeful state of the economy.
it would be great if they did it for PC but the 360 live or PS3 and just for one game isn't worth it so this is a no buy for what a shame.

That's the fault of the companies - not the employers. If EA actually made things that weren't shovelware they wouldn't have to lay them off. The gaming market is a lot more lucrative than the film and music industries in recent times.
Are you forgetting the rampancy of piracy? THAT is what's killing development studios. People who say they pirate a game and then go out and buy it are lying. Why would they buy it? Pretty box art and a manual? They already have the game! Studios are losing money they deserve, AND it's perpetuating the cycle -- they have to build shovelware to make a quick buck off parents who buy for their kids because lots of hardcore gamers just pirate their stuff anyways. They HAVE to make shovelware because any decent-but-not-incredible game just gets pirated, and they get no money. Piracy is the killer.
Oh and if you want to talk shovelware, don't bash EA, they've moved on from that. Bash Activision and their 3-4 Guitar Hero games a year.
Honestly, if I were Vicarious Visions/Activision I wouldn't develop for PC either, just for that reason.
Well said, Teancum!
If you'd ever come to MAOland, you'd surprised!
Just a quick example! The 007 Casino Royale crew (director, actors, etc) went to Beijing for the premier and guess what... The day ffter the first day in the theaters, pirate - BAD QUALITY - copies were already all over the streets! And a big big irony. A local street illegal vendor even offered a copy to who? 007 himself! Mr Craig was "in disguise" walking around the city sightseeing and was not recognized as the actor! Of course, he bought the dvd for RMB 10.00 (around USD 1.40) and took it back to show what really happens in China! Besides the absurd and stupid info block the gov does, there's piracy! That's why nothing that has a copyright is respected in this MAOland! I'm sorry for any Chinese of this forum, but it is the reality we see around here! Games and/or movies (basically anything that comes in laser discs) has this issue here! I don't think i've ever seen a dvd store selling ORIGINAL discs of movies or games at all!

That bad huh? I am starting to think it may get as bad here in America with Setoro imposing as President.
@ TC
Blizzard is a genius conserning anti-piracy. (WoW)
Nobody can play on a (almost) bug-free server. And a gamecard is needed (which holds a unique code only insertable once). People might play on private servers, but can not play bugfree + server would crash a lot.
Anyway, that method could also be used for non-multiplayer games. But just a onetime payment when you actually BUY the game. For example, when installing, an Internet connection is needed to activate the installation at all. Anyone who downloads full game isos needs the Internet..
I understand people who say that their favorite games these days cost a lot of cash and that they download it with the purpose of saving money, but I have no respect to the same people because of the piracy. It's robbing well deserved money of the creators of the game.
Hey Blaw, about that internet connection needed for registration and all... Well, I've seen a lot of renowned software been pirated even with this kind of "barrier". This is where the so called "crack" enters!
I wouldn't mind a PC version so I could get some of my fav characters in, but I really doubt they will make one. I'm fine with the XBOX 360 version anyway.
I won't have access to a 360 in September.
Why not? You going to college? Selling your 360? Don't have one? Won't have one by that time?
Sorry for being oh so curios.
It belongs to my brother and I'll be going to university. He'll also be moving out sometime as he has a stable income.
I have a Wii, though. I'm just cautious that it'll be completely different to the other version.
Ah. I see...
I may get my own eventually as I have several games for it, though.
I read on a few sites its comin on PC
Only vendor sites list it for PC, and they are notorious for being wrong. It's not coming out for PC.
Yeah, they're probably looking to give the poor people false hopes...
No, when a title is announced they make a guess as to what platforms it will be on. Kindof like they guess when it's going to be released. Why? So they can get your pre-order money. If it doesn't come out on a platform they offer it to you on another platform, or refund your money.
But they'd rather not refund your money, so they persist in trying to give the game on another platform, right?
No
They are probebly not making a PC version because of the mods,but that's just mine apinion

i doubt that, if they had had issues with the mods for MUA, they would have tried to shut us down a long time ago. Since we have never even gotten a warning i doubt they cared too much. So i doubt that they even thought of this site when they decided not to do a pc version.
Indeed. I even mailed one of the companies who worked on MUA1 and asked them a question about XML2 meshes. They responded rather glad, happy and excited that we (he described us as fans) "expand the boundaries" of the MUA and XML2. And to be honest, we're not yet near the limit of what's possible of both games.
I suspect they're doing something like LucasArts did with TFU - releasing this game for the platforms first. Waiting until the fans are addicted. Then releasing it for the PC and MAC with two or three added characters/missions to bum a buck off the fans lol

I've got my fingers crossed that you're right.
Well it would be consistent with what a lot of gaming companies have been doing as of late - making a game that has more fans for the PC so that the PC users will break down and buy it on the console THEN buy it for the PC - good marketing trick, if an old one

For all you non-PC MUA players, did you buy the extra characters when they came out? I think I would have if I had a game system. I'm wondering just how popular those extra characters were among MUA fans. If it was a money maker for the developers, I'd say there will be some sort of add-on (provided that there's ever a PC version, that is).
I bought them. I really just bought for Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Hulk, and Magneto.
LucasArts did it and so have a few others - releasing the same game with some cheaply cobbled together missions/models to make sure that the fans will buy it. Still that's just what I think, if nothing else MUA 3 is bound to be for PC after how much fuss the fans are going to make lol
MUA just isn't a big enough series for any publisher to care whether it's on PC. The Force Unleashed carried because it's Star Wars, and they have long history of selling well on the PC, whereas Marvel games don't. Lucasarts developed TFU internally, so it was their money to play with. MUA is published by Activision, meaning they have to pay someone to port it, and knowing Activision, they won't.
We continue after the following messages by our sponsors:
Activision would lose money if the DLC were also available on the PC. Why? Someone buys the DLC, and makes them downloadable for FREE.
Take a look at sales numbers -- the PC version of MUA didn't even get enough sales to bother charting the data:

Now why would you spend good money working on a PC port when nobody will buy it?
***And don't say "we" aren't 'nobody'. I'm talking numbers here. The 75 active users on this forum don't constitute enough cash to cover the porting of the game.

well, you got a good point there.
No matter what the sales figures are, they should always release a PC version!
And take losses? They won't
I doubt it. Whoever made it would not be able to make it as good as VV did.
*IF* we were to get one we'd be much more likely to get a n-Space port anyways as the 360 port wouldn't be cost effective to optimize for several types of hardware. With the n-Space port they just set the requirements fairly high and say "here you go"

I'm with ya! Oh come on people, why are you so mean with them? They did a great job! They didn't make an XML2 or MUA1 but that was their job! I mean, MUA1 didn't look like XML2 but it's still good!
I guess because they changed a lot of things people expected to stay the same, or to improve. Instead they pulled those features, or limited them. I have no doubt I'll have fun playing through it when I rent it, but I'm not buying it until its USD$20.00 used, and then only if the DLC is awesome.

No you didn't. N-Space screwed up and VV did wonderful! I do think they focused on other stuff so they didn't have as much time on the characters costumes and stuff.
N-Space barely did anything besides extracting stuff from other games. You should see their reviews
"N-Space should be shot"
"I hope N-Space is lost in the recession"
"N-Space has ruined all of marvel games"
And even many curse words to them

Their reviews... By you?
No by others. On Hero Hq and on some other sites linked on Hero Hq. I don't think they should be shot and the comments are extreme but they didn't do good at all.
Both versions have gotten bad reviews and bad comments, different people like different things. non of us here worked on it, so i dont get why some people get so deffensive about negative comments.

So what? I think VV's modeling sucks, and I think they strayed too far from the beaten path. Does that mean the 360 version sucks? You, my friend are beggining to be a biased fanboy. The reality is that had n-Space not taken the Wii/PS2/PSP/DS ports, they probably wouldn't have existed. Activision knew exactly what was going on -- hire a small dev shop and give them the engine and lots of the assets they need in order to build a game we can make money on. If you're gonna blame anyone, blame Activision. N-Space only has a little over 100 folks on their team, and they handled two consoles and two handheld versions.

Because some of us are blind fanboys, and as long as those blind fanboys exist, so will the defensive outbursts about any kind of criticism about whatever they are fanboys about. Regardless of whether or not what they say even makes sense or not, you can prove a fanboy wrong and they'll still sing the same song for reasons not even God is sure about at this point. That's just the way fanboys work.
Personally i think both versions look really good and improved, but if we do get a PC version i hope its n-space version, just because it seems like it would be easier to mod than the VV version.
im still disappointed really.. right now, all im doing is watch the MUA2 walkthroughs on youtube on easy mode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXoVTdXV2DA
my brother sold his ps3 a couple of weeks ago cos he needed some cash for his place and im too broke to get a ps3 or xbox 360 since i just bought the ipod touch and some tickets for travelling this october and i feel so d#2m INCOMPLETE not being able to play MUA2. im sure you lot know what thats like..its..:(
im really just anticipating for a PC version..im sure they will make one...they will right?
Most likely not, but you never know.

i guess im gonna have to ask for a 360 or a ps3 for christmas from mom
but i really do prefer a pc cos costum mods are of an advantage here
If they didn't port Force Unleashed, whose demand was higher, this simply has no chance.
Funny thing though, you see all the people yelling that PC gaming is dying when in fact the developers are trying to kill it, it would be considerably easier for them if everyone just had a console, making a game for consoles easier, by spreading the word that PC gaming is dying, they're hoping that everyone will believe it and go out and buy all the shiny useless paper-weights.
Uhh, you know Force Unleashed is being ported to PC, right?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Force_Unleashed
With extra exclusive content, no less. So there might still be a sliver of hope, however pointless.
Yup. If anything MUA2 for PC would be released a few months after (probably 4-6 months) so they avoid the initial hype and actually get sales instead of it just being pirated. This was probably the mentality behind Force Unleashed.
That I did not know, sorry guys, been a while since I got a new game.
Been out of the loop.
Aspyr Media?Never actually heard of them, hope it's properly optimized.
I'm still not sure about MUA2 hitting the PC though, guess we'll see.
(Aspyr Media? I think they made Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 aswell, but not sure at the moment).
Yeah, Aspyr handled OODLES of console-2-PC (and several PC-2-Mac based on those) ports for Activision, including Guitar Hero 3 and several Tony Hawks. Dey be tight, mon.
That does not fill me with confidence...
Anyway, if it will be done, I'd guess it will be after all the DLC, then they'll pack it up, call it "Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Ultra Super Beanie Baby Collectors Director's Cut Edition" and ship it with at least two delays.
Why wouldn't that fill you with confidence? EVERY Aspyr game in the last 5 years that's been ported is 100% faithful to the console versions, whether the game is awesome, or whether it sucks. Only a few older games are different on the PC/Mac, such as 007: Nightfire.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_ported_by_Aspyr_media
That's the problem, faithful ports tend to be exactly like console versions, including the shabby camera and strained controls.
Well, you can't have a perfect game!
True, although I always thought The Witcher came pretty damn close.
But honestly, I don't care how bad it'll be, I'll still get it, if the controls and the camera will be THAT horrible we can always make some mods and fixes.

So then what's the complaint here? If we get MUA2 on PC we get it just like on the consoles - I don't see where the actual complaint of the porting is.
He wants a port, where he gets the good stuff and the bad stuff would be fixed. Life is not that easy.
Or in other words, I want the cake with Kate Backinsile inside and I want to eat it to.
Still, there have been a few ports that are much better then ports, maybe this would be one of them, and maybe the Deadpool game based on the movie won't be crap as well...I'm delusional, aren't I? :(
The Wolverine game was good. Look Nox, you want a bit too many things. I mean, there is still no PC version. I would be happy to get it, even if the camera would be bad. Be happy, for what you have and what you can have.
I figure if I want a perfect game they'll at least give us a decent port just to shut me up.
This is all an elaborate plot to get a PC version.
But still, not sure if there will be a PC port. Anything could happen, so I'm just hoping.
This is off topic but it looks like this topic is becoming like mua2. Some guys are saying no pc others are.
This is about MUA2, if you haven't noticed.
EDIT: The Edit on my post was just correcting a typo.

I don't want to be rude, but what did you think this was about, if you didn't know it is about MUA 2? Just asking.
Hmm, He might be comparing the situation to MUA2, saying how some people are saying "There should be no pc/it doesnt exist" or "There should be a pc/it will happen". Similar to the prop and anit reg units.
But I could be looking into it too much, and I could be completely wrong and he just worded it strangely. :)
Still, I don't see too much chance in it. It's like Fable 2. They made a PC version of the first game, but they didn't make one from the second game. And now, they are making the third game...hm...maybe these people are working on a third installment aswell? (Did I say it good?)

You are right. I was comparing it to MUA2
right guys, theres no need to argue about the content of the posts, its MUA2
and since they say its not coming out on PC, buy another console and get it for that! it worked for me and the game is amazing!
Your a bit late and maybe some people dont have the money just to buy a brand new console for 1 game.
I just bought a PS3 for MUA2, God of War and FFXIII. I have to say, i'm not impressed with the graphics at all and even less impressed with the DLC being pulled before I had a chance to get Juggernaut, Magneto etc.
Tbh, I saw that coming. I have a feeling most people think MUA1 was better anyway. Those people are in luck, since we can make mods which look like their MUA2 counterparts ^^
I asked the same question to Game in the uk.
They said there would be one,but apparently its taking longer to do becouse its for PC.
I doubt it. Activision dumped support for DLC for both games, and the PC versions of games just don't sell well.
I dont think they should. I dont thnk my video card could handle it.

I think we all pc gamers need an answer, why no pc verion?
Pc gamers are more than conloses gamers i think, all persons have a pc, i but the original mua and i want to buy this mua2 also if there come a pc version.
Activision, pc version more money, so open your eyes and don't do the error like Sega with ironman and hulk pc versions.
That would be nice, but no, not everyone has a PC. I just got one 4-5 months ago.
