FUSIONS
I have posted the descriptions of the Fusions in white text (spoiler text, as I like to call them) directly after the combinations. So far, we have:
Invisible Woman and Iron Man (from trailer):
IW creates a telekinetic field in which Iron Man overloads with his laser, creating an effective bright bomb.
Spider-Man and Iron Man (trailer):
Spidey grabs hold of as many enemies with his weblines, and brings them together, all trapped, right in the path of Iron Man's destructive repulsor beam
Daredevil and Iron Man (Phillip's link):
Twirling on the floor whilst whipping the enemies around him in a radius, Daredevil sends them all airborne. Iron Man hovers overhead and blasts back down enemies that DD sends up to him
Hulk and Wolverine/Daredevil (from trailer/link):
Hulk spins around with Wolverine in his grasp to gain momentum, and unleashes him in a perfect fastball special strike.
Human Torch/Iron Man and Thing/Hulk (trailer/link):
Thing rips a piece of the ground, in which Torch ignites. Still in his hands, Thing leaps up and hurls the superheated fragment down, creating a destructive explosion, which knocks every adversary off their feet
Invisible Woman and Hulk (link):
The "Hamster Ball" (excuse the editorial laugh) :laugh: . IW surrounds Hulk in a protective encapsulement, as he rampages around the map crushing enemies under his weight.
FEATURES
The Havok physics engine is going to be used more, making more interactive environments. (for example, when Thing hurled the forklift, it broke apart, and those parts could be used as weapons)
The conversations can change how the missions will be carried out. Players can choose to use an aggressive, defensive, or diplomatic dialogue.
Camera controls are also going to be changed. The camera will be more fluid, and during one mission, the camera pans out to view the entire city street.

And most importantly:
Please post only officially announced stuff here.
Game Informer scans: http://www.penciljack.com/forum/showthread.php?p=923560
Found by Philip in http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=2133.0
Notice how the fusions from the Hulk and Wolverine are the same as the Hulk and Daredevil one in the scans. The same applies to the Human Torch and Thing one with the Iron Man and Hulk in the scan.
i think that wolvie/hulk and dd/hulk will be same as colosus/wolvie and dd/collosus
EDIT(responding to below post):ok, your right, sorry :).
Yes. Unfortunately this thread is for official news, and Colossus hasn't yet made the official roster, and I would appreciate official stuff to be posted here exclusively. Sorry if I may sound harsh, but I would not like thoughts to clutter this thread.Thank you for understanding. :)
You cant get more official than the official site!
The MUA2 site is up!
http://unleashfusion.marvel.com
Wow, combining powers just almost just liked Spider-Man FoF game,
but different.
As I said previously before, please keep it to official stuff, Cosmic.
Thanks for the collection of info everyone .
Does anyone reckon they will have a vip kinda thing like last time ?
Here's an article that hasn't been brought up before. It's most important features:
-Brief description of the Main Menu.
-Confirmation that both Cable and Bishop will appear, but not a word on wether they'll be playable or not.
-Characters move lips when talking, and not only in cinematics.
-Invisible Woman-Daredevil fusion description: Invisible Woman created a force-field bubble that captured a group of enemies in a small globe, and Daredevil quickly incapacitated them with a variety of kicks and punches.
-Every pair of characters will have a Fusion power
http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3168980&p=4
My thoughts:
I believe both Cable and Bishop will be NPCs.
I've mentioned this before, but now it's confirmed that any 2 characters will have a Fusion power, I think this explains the low ammount of characters compared to what everyone expected:
24 characters means 276 fusion; 25 (original next-gen roster) = 300; 33 (Gold Edition Roster) = 528 ; 45 (what we dreamt) = 990.
It seems that Civil War thing is much more important than what I originally thought. Not sure I like this, I would've rather have a more traditional hero vs. villain story. Oh, well, hope it delivers anyway.
Yeah, but remember that thus far they're reusing a lot of fusions:
Hulk + Wolverine/Daredevil = Fastball Special
Thing + Human Torch/Iron Man = Heat rock and throw it
In the end I'd bet there's only about 150-200 unique fusions at best. And while they're cool, so far they just don't seem cool enough to be worth the effort.
On this site the boxcover with clearly the Punisher and the Black Panther on the Cover. http://mycheats.1up.com/view/superguide/3168084/marvel_ultimate_alliance_2__fusion/xbox_360 (http://mycheats.1up.com/view/superguide/3168084/marvel_ultimate_alliance_2__fusion/xbox_360)
Further Spidey, Wolverine, Mr. Fantastic, Venom, the Hulk and in the down left corner Captain America or is that someone else ?(hawkeye?)
^ Pretty sure that's fake
Wow, that's pretty much the ugliest fan art I've ever seen.
I'm so pissed there's no PC version....
2 bad....

From gamefaqs forums (http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/marvelultimateallianceiifusion/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-45967749&pid=951211):
Quote from: jonezz49www.oxmonline.com/article/previews/m-r/marvel-ultimate-alliance-ii-fusion
in the article, it confirms that aspects of Civil War will be used. It reconfirms Green Goblin and Venom as playable. It also states a team is sent to stop 'former buddy' Cable from uploading sensitive material date. Enroute to stop Cable, the team fights a mini-boss - the mighty Hercules!! it also confirms that the fusion moves will be repetitive - Hulk can toss Daredevil as a fastball special (just like Hulk can do it to Wolverine)
Follow the link, friends! Enjoy at least a little bit of news from the long draught!!
call me- 'the guy that advised Tarkin to evacuate before the Death Star blew up."
The new info:
-Hercules is a mini-boss
Additionally, there's a new enemy in the center of the next picture I haven't seen before:

Whoa i didnt no that.
QuoteAdditionally, there's a new enemy in the center of the next picture I haven't seen before:
I don't think that's an important NPC or anything like that... more like some kind of "Drone/Bot" since there is another one hidding behind the consoles to the right...

acording to both Wiki and IGN it will also be on PS2. neither are trustworthy but.....its worth noting.
wow so this site is still around! just passin' by to say i'm alive. well no more news about this game?
Nothing lately. I watch/edit the Wikipedia with any new reliable news posts I find, but there's been no news on the game of late.
OMFG, JEAN GREY IS AN OFFICAL CHARACTER!!! WHOOOOO!! :phoenix: CAN'T WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT NOW!!
Who said Jean was an official character?
wikipedia!! it even says!!
Wikipedia can be edited by anyone so sometimes its not very reliable. Is there any source confirming her ?
No, I removed the false edit. Kids...
Thought so.
Thanks Teancum
Activision announced today that they'll have some trailer style stuff to show for the game at this weekend's New York Comic Convention.
Yep, posted it on the main page in a news post.
New trailer has been officialy released from NY Comic-Con.
See it here: http://www.marvel.com/videos/523.Marvel~colon~_Ultimate_Alliance_2_Trailer_2
Make sure you catch these guys in it: Cable, Hercules, and War Machine
that looks great, i was looking forward to new stuff coming out of the NY Comic-Con
i guess we will get more stuff on sunday http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=19861
SUNDAY
11:15 AM – 12:15 PM
MARVEL & ACTIVISION: Evolution of Marvel Comic Book Characters in Video Games Panel
Panel Room 7 (1A24)
heres some comparisons from the first trailer to the second
from first (screenshot by Teancum)

from second
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/nodoubt_jr/new2.png)
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/nodoubt_jr/new.png)
did they drop the "Fusion" from the title? Still no pc, but some new stuff.
also check out the site http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/#/Home/
especially http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/#/Characters/ and http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/#/GameInfo/
I keep close tabs on the Wiki, so as of this moment it's correct. If you look REAAAAALLY close in the trailer you're notice War Machine and Multiple Man.
I thought that was Jamie Madrox that i saw in the back there. It's interesting that they put him in the game.
Dagger, Black Widow, Cable and Hercules also appear in the trailer :)
Yeah, I'm still not 100% certain that's dagger. That could very well be Emma.
Can someone post screen caps? I never caught any of those characters.
Yeah, where do you see Dagger/Emma?
i know i saw Multiple Man, Hercules, Black Widow and Maria Hill, but i didnt see Emma/Dagger anywhere !?
what number is she on !??
Quote from: haydnc95 on February 08, 2009, 11:56AM
i know i saw Multiple Man, Hercules, Black Widow and Maria Hill, but i didnt see Emma/Dagger anywhere !?
I'm pretty sure I found Dagger/Emma. In the same clip where you see Multiple Man, hit pause and look behind and a little to the left of Cable. You'll see a woman with blonde hair and white clothes kneeling or crouching. I'm thinking its most likely Dagger because she has been confirmed to be in the game.
I Thinks she´s Emma
to be honest, id like it to be Emma but its most likeley gunna be Dagger, but i cant see Cloak anywhere
its probably Dagger, she was part of Secret Avengers during the Civil War.
heres a screenshot with both Multiple Man and Dagger/Emma Frost
(it does look more like Emma, but i still think Dagger makes more sense)
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/nodoubt_jr/multdag.png)
yep, i would say that looks more like Dagger, Emma dosent wear anything like that(that i know of) but i guess will find out when the time comes :)
It's Dagger. She's wearing the jewel that she's sometimes seen with.
yeah thats sorta what i ment!, hope we can play as her, gunna be fun fun fun! :cd: she might be in this costume
http://www.marvel.com/universe/Dagger
Also Bishop MIGHT be confirmed, looking at this http://www.marvel.com/comics/onsale/lib/view2.htm?filename=/i/content/st/6720new_storyimage3930534_full.jpg
he might not be playable but he is in the game :D
Quote from: Shadowbox on February 08, 2009, 03:10PM

Yep, sure enough. Just watched it again in hi-def and saw the jewel.
some more info here http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=19959 from NYCC
QuoteWhen you choose a side in the game, will it limit your roster of allies?
"Gameplay trumps strict adherence to comic storyline. There are a few restrictions (Cap, Iron Man), but the vast majority of players will come with you no matter what side you choose."
god i hope so, or i might not buy it :(
so far my team would be :storm: :cd: :capamer: :spiderman:
Cloack and Dagger have not been confirmed. Some characters might appear in the videos but might not be playable. So we have to wait and see gameplay to confirm certain characters. I think the list with those characters was :
Hercules
Cable
Bishop
Black Widow
War Machine
Cloack
Dagger
Multiple Man
Nick Fury
Dagger has been semi-confirmed based on the IMDB cast list and her minor appearance in the trailer.
to be honset im not sure Cloak has been in any of the trailers, but with a Dagger, there must be a Cloak, right?
Yeah, it's safe to assume I'd say. I haven't added him to Wikipedia since there hasn't been an official confirmation, though.
Agreed, although it would be fun to play as him, sorta like nightcrawlers moveset,
but just imagine His and Daggers Fusion! :D sortof like Emmas Psycic Bedlam
:cd:
RUMOUR!...Diamondback is slated to appear in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, presumably as a boss character. It is unknown whether this Diamondback is Rachel Leighton or Debbie Bertrand.
Well, their current official site shows Diamondback being grabbed by the Hulk on their scrollby screen on the main page.
Quote from: Teancum on February 09, 2009, 04:02PM

That doesnt mean anything.She could be an NPC character that appears in a video.That way she stills need a voice :)
Oh and In the trailer Dagger is over a fallen character(the character appears to be african and wears black clothes) It could be Cloack.
I never said I thought she was playable.
Interesting that they said there could be some connection between the first game and this one. They said something might be in the works to recognize that you finished the first MUA. Also worth noting that they are aware of the downloadable content buzz, even though they have nothing to announce yet.
...Downloadable comic missions, here we come. (Ok, maybe I'm being a bit too hopeful ;-)
Would be awesome though and this does seem to be an emerging trend. Here's hoping!
If they do make DLC i think it should be characters that arnt in the 2nd game but in the 1st
like so far there isnt any sign of :spiderwoman: :deadpool: :moonk: :ronin: :genis: :elektra: :iceman: :warbird: :silvers:
and i think there should be more females! I really want Dazzler and Spiderwoman, and...well...all from the 1st 1 really!
but missions and stufff are good as well ! :D
Just posted more MUA2 news on the main site. Check it out
Has Ms.Marvel, Cloak and She-Hulk been confiremd yet? i really havent seen Cloak anywhere, or Ms.Marvel, but i hve seen te pic of She-Hulk.
Not officially, no.
Damn, i really want to see ms. marvel in it :( and she-hulk !
i hope they reveal more
She Hulk is in a pic posted by IGN :)
LINK : http://ps3.ign.com/articles/952/952502p1.html
It is the 3rd picture. She is standing behind Iron Man :)
Yep, that's where I found it too :D
Mua 2 have two web sites?
http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/
http://unleashfusion.marvel.com/
No pc version but in ign.com it apears:
http://pc.ign.com/objects/142/14233949.html
I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING, there is a pc version or not, i want a pc version, for me it is good to wait a pc version like assassin's creed or gta 4.
There is no PC version. IGN makes profiles for versions they think will come out, but often do not fix it after they find out the official information.
I REALLY want to know when its gunna be realeased in the UK :(
i feel abit sorry for America, it gunna be realesed on DEECEMBER 31!!?? WTF!
but Australia is on March 31!
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE UK !! >:(
Unless I've missed something, those dates are just total BS.
well thats what IGN says, but ill belive anything, so there probably wrong
Can't spell ignorant without IGN.
just keep your eye on the official website, and only believe what they say http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/#/GameInfo/
I'm part of their forum in a different name.
deos anyone else know who Human Torch, Hulk and Captain America are fighting on the MUA2 homepage??
There is a strong rumor circulating in the official site, that Psylocke is going to be playable.
The base for it is that the MUA1 site moderator (Kalina) has stated that his/her favourite character is in MUA2, and apparently that character is Psylocke, according to the people who were part of the MUA1 forums.
It's still a rumor, but I'm willing to give this one more credibility than to the most of them.
EDIT:
Here's what Kalina wrote, by the way:
Quote from: Kalina" date="1233732178Hey guys - this is Kalina. :-)
Like Alex said, I'm still around and involved in MUA2. I'll drop in every now and then, but it's Alex you will be hearing from regularly and trust me, you are in good hands! Alex can give you insight straight from the developer, and he's promised me that he's going to drop in some concept art from time to time so that you can get the real behind-the-scenes look at MUA2, and in some cases, see if you can figure out who the characters are. Might not be so obvious from the start...
I can tell you this, I'm pretty excited about this sequel to MUA. There's going to be tons of news in the coming weeks and months, starting with two new characters being revealed at New York Comic Con. What else can I tell you? Let's see...
- There are definitely going to be some new playable characters that have never been playable in MUA before. Stay tuned to Alex on that...
- I'm excited to say my *favorite* Marvel character of all time is in MUA2! I've been pushing to get this character in the game ever since MUA1, and the great thing is that the MUA1 VIPs helped me out because this is a character you voted for on the original MUA community site. You'll find out who that character is at or before San Diego Comic Con...
- There's some stuff in MUA2 that's all new and is going to take the game to the next level I think. Keep an eye out later this week for a brand new trailer that is going to show you a little flavor of what I'm talking about.
- If anyone figures out one of the two characters we are going to reveal at New York Comic Con, and comes to New York Comic Con as that character, we are going to give you a special prize (seriously, think a game signed by Stan Lee or something cool like that). We'll be in booth 1331.
That's it from me. I might drop in from time to time, but until then, I leave you in VERY good hands with Alex!
Yours,
Kalina
I recall Psylocke being an option on a poll on the MUA1 website and she got a significant portion of the votes.
I hope she is playble! how many girls are there now, Storm, Invis Woman, Maria Hill(mybe) Dagger(mybe) Black widow(mybe) Psylocke(mybe) She-Hulk(mybe)
is that it!?!

and noone has answered my other question?
Yeah like elektra, ms marvel, jean grey, psylocke, she-hulk, black widow, black cat, and spider-woman.
Looking through the official site, I found 2 posters I haven't seen before, both anti and pro reg:

songbird joins playables in mua 2?
INDEED SHE DOES!!
Get ready to sing a happy song, Marvel gaming gurus, as Thunderbolts veteran Songbird will be available as a playable character in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 when the hotly-anticipated new video game hits consoles this fall.
http://www.marvel.com/comics/onsale/lib/view2.htm?filename=/i/content/st/7257new_storyimage7317082_full.jpg
COPY AND PASTED FROM MARVEL.COM
Here's the full story.
http://www.marvel.com/news/vgstories.7257.EXCLUSIVE~colon~_Songbird_Joins_Ultimate_Alliance_2
So apparently, Iron Man and Songbird's fusion will have Songbird creating a prism with her powers and Iron Man shooting through it, having the ray refracted in all directions.
Also, it's curious that in the Marvel.com article they say:
Songbird marks the 14th character revealed from what will be a cast of over 24 playable Marvel heroes.

On the MUAII offical site, Venom and Green Goblin haven't been confirmed, as they aren't on the trailer and they aren't on the list of characters. But with Songbird confirmed I'm sure that these two are also in it. The site will probably confirm them later on, because even though Mr. Fantastic and Storm were confirmed originally, the site officialy confirmed them after the comic-con. I'm guessing that maybe they haven't been started on or the game's makers don't want anybody to see them yet.
The curious part is the "over 24 playable Marvel heroes". That's a really strange and specific number. Why not "over 20", or another round number? Did they choose that one just because they wanted to disprove all the rumours of only 24 characters that have been circulating since last year's E3?
Oh I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. I think this confirms that the 24 characters don't include unlockables. That's good news for us then.
This means that there will be 25 characters. It's the same thing as all those furniture store commercials saying "Under £500!" when it is actually just £499.99.
Oh, well 25 is better than 24 anyday.
It's still not impressive, though. I really expected them to have quite a bit more than MUA1, like a total of 30-40 characters. If it's under 30 before any DLC I'll be less-than-impressed with the roster. Especially with characters like Songbird in there. I mean Songbird? Really? I could see her as a DLC character, but not one that comes with the game. Give me the iconic Marvel characters, not some b-grade characters.
I concur whole-heartedly. Especially when you can easily list over 30 iconic characters with relative ease.
Oh yeah, within seconds you could come up with 30 VERY iconic characters. Now, that being said not everyone would say they love X or Y character, but they'd agree they're iconic.
B-Grade characters/characters with a specific fan base should be left to DLC. For example I'd much rather have Cyclops or Gambit in the roster instead of Songbird rather than having to pay to download them later. Make Songbird DLC, that way I don't have to get her. Still, it's good business. Save some heavy hitters for DLC and everyone'll buy the content.
They probably added Songbird because she's a popular Thunderbolt member. I myself was hoping for her to be in the roster, but only cause it is inevitable that the Thunderbolts will be in.
I'm of the opinion that after Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, Daredevil, Punisher and the Fantastic Four (and maybe Cyclops and Storm), everyone else is just gravy. I mean, those are Marvel's A-listers, and as much as I like someone like Gambit, for example, he's only popular between a specific generation of fans (those of us who grew up in the 90's).
In the official boards, there are a lot of people who were happy with Songbird getting in, because that means there'll probably be a post-Civil War Thunderbolts team, a book that was both popular and really good, based by the ratings at IGN.
My point is that maybe Songbird is this generation's Psylocke or Colossus, a character that is mainly popular because she's part of a extremely popular team (with all due respect to those who may consider I'm demeaning Psylocke or Colossus).

I think I'll do that, but not 30, I'm gonna put every character I think is important enough to be in a game such as this, the core of Marvel Comics (all far more important than Songbird).
Avengers: Captain America, Scarlet Witch, She-Hulk, Wonder Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Falcon, Quicksilver, Black Panther, Vision, Miss Marvel, Hank Pym, Wasp, Hercules
Fantastic Four: Human Torch, Mister Fantastic, The Thing, Invisible Woman
X-Men: Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, Cable, Angel, Beast, Storm, Colossus, Bishop, Jubilee, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Psylocke, Shadowcat, Rogue, Gambit, Prof. X, Emma Frost
Defenders: Doctor Strange, Namor, Hulk, Silver Surfer
Others: Blackbolt, Adam Warlock, Quasar, Moonknight, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Ghost Rider, Shang-Chi, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Sentry, Captain Marvel, Daredevil, Elektra, Deadpool, Black Cat, Punisher, Nick Fury
Marvel probably wouldn't exist without these characters, and the list didn't even include villians.
Yeah, but I could easily take of about 10-12 names off that list that non-Marvel comics readers wouldn't know. There were certainly that many I didn't know before I started playing MUA.
you're right, but if you get too rigid with this rule...my parents hadn't hear of Iron Man until the movie came out.
OMG, i just saw this picture, and tell me if you guys think that it is jean/phoenix costume, that ironmam is fireing at? sorry, the pic isnt that big
http://www.toddcountry.com/ebay/ultimate_alliance_2_screen.jpg
It's Spider-Man jumping.
IS IT!? looks like phoenix to me?!? huh...well i was wrong!
It's Spider-Man doing the split-jump-and-web thing that he does. It's definitely not the Phoenix.
Yep, that's Spidey all right. Dunno how you got Phoenix from that.
Here's the same picture, full-sized: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/image_viewer/frame_lead.php?pid=951211&img=3&popup=1#view_full_size
we have a new playable ironfist http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/en/news_comments/iron_fist_announced/ sorry didn't see teancums post :banghead:
That's great news.
This more than makes up for Songbird!
SWEET! he looks awsome! and his firey circle of doom thing looks AMAZING! now im even more excited to get this game! :ifist:
he does huh
I gotta be honest. I'm still not impressed with the game. It's all effect-based. Show me variety. I want to see the melee combos, or some guy getting head-butted by Luke Cage. Something like that.
I won't be happy unless Jean Grey, Punisher, Gambit, Ms. Marvel, and Psylocke are confirmed. And Cyclops. However I can live without all of them except for Jean Grey who I desperately need. War Machine wouldn't be bad either.
Pshhh i agree with marvelfan12345 :phoenix:
War Machine is already in, at least as a NPC. He's seen in a trailer.
For me I gotta have Gambit, Deadpool, Punisher, Namor and Vision. I know there'll be at least a few X-Men, but for the most part I want variety.
everything's good if they make 30 playables and 2 dlc packs 1st pack 8 additional characters(no npc's and villains in game) and 2nd pack 2 new stage/map with mini boss and bosses and icing on the cake is having the game available for pc :idea:
I was reading in this Brazilian website the confirmed roster:
http://www.omelete.com.br/game/100019037/Marvel_Ultimate_Alliance_2.aspx
apparently there will be 24 playable characters, 17 confirmed:
1. Captain America
2. Daredevil
3. Electro
4. Hulk
5. Human Torch
6. Iron Fist
7. Ironman
8. Invisible Woman
9. Lucia von Bardas
10. Luke Cage
11. Mr. Fantastic
12. Songbird
13. Spider-Man
14. Storm

Seriously? Lucia von Bardas? This character is so obscure that comicvine hasn't got any info or pics of her. If this is true it's truly ridiculous.
I'm gonna miss Black Widow, and I wish She-Hulk was playable. =/
All the sources I've read say Lucia is one of the villains, and that's been more than one source. I'd say they're taking the Wikipedia entry and making guesses. They didn't even cite where they got the information from. I call BS.
I hope so
thats not true
electro was confirmed as a miniboss
and, lucia von bardas? it just cant be true!
It is. It's right on the official site's synopsis. But she hasn't been confirmed as a playable, but a boss, which is why that list is probably BS. Still, Secret War is the, and I quote "Jumping Off Point". So I doubt Lucia is the main villain, but rather the story-starting villain.
That list cant be true as Electro and Lucia are villains. Ad Venom and Green Goblin have been confirmed by a new character round up on IGN.
They definitely got that info from Wikipedia, bad translation me thinks!
Jean Grey for MUA2!
Does anyone know like the story line i know its based on the civil war n stuff but wat else?
And the Secret War. Not the Secret Wars with Beyonder and everyone but the one that came I think a bit before Civil War.
so what does sheild have ta do wit any of this
Hey guys, Bishop looks like a playable character on this pic : http://jogos.br.msn.com/GaleriaDeFotos.aspx?cp-documentid=19020216&imageindex=8
There are four other playable characters there - Hulk, Daredevil, Spider-man and Luke Cage.
Bishop and Cable will probably be NPCs or unlockables. I personally don't like either.
I wouldn't mind Cable but I would rather not have Bishop.
who do u think is stronger bishop or cable?

the same fore me, i would like Cable, but Bishop is a no for me (unless we get to beat him up a bit)
Cable is stronger to me.
There's a new developers blog entry in the official site, it talks a little bit about the balancing of powers, bosses, etc. What called my attention was someone in the comments pointing that in the 2nd picture, you can see a bulky figure wearing red boots behind an enemy:
(http://xs538.xs.to/xs538/09184/7530_360_033009003_0003_ra630.jpg) (http://xs.to)
Any ideas who that might be?
My guess would be colossus
just wanted to say thanks to the people that keep us updated on this MUA stuff, i dont go on that site often so its nice to know i wont be missing something big.
I'd prefer Bishop to be honest. He was soo good in legends 2. Imagine what he'd be like in MUA2. Cable is a NO for me. If Dr. Strange, Invisible Woman, Magneto, Psylocke or Jean make it into the game, there will just be far too many characters in the game with telekinesis and I don't like that. Bishop is far better.
Hmm agree, or if they do put a tk in, let it be Uri Geller :p

im guessing its just Capt. Ive never seen Colossus wear any boots like that?
I've never seen cap wear yellow.
wheres they yellow? it could just be the light?
it could be juggernaut the cuffs on the boots and the armband with bronze brown color seems very juggernautish or maybe hercules perhaps i hope its herc
Guys, its Cap, you can see his shield and his blue shoulder.
if it was Juggernaut, wouldnt he be ALOT bigger. i say Capt.
Quote from: Phoenix on May 02, 2009, 12:42AM
Guys, its Cap, you can see his shield and his blue shoulder.
Yep, his boots look an odd color because they're reflecting the purple hues of Songbird's power.
Well, cap has about the same figure as thor.. Yet, the boots of the guy at the back are BIGGER than Thor's (Who's at the FRONT).
Hmm. He kinda looks like Ironman when I zoomed in with Photoshop. Ironman has such boots on 1 armor.
juggernaut as npc perhaps or mini boss or boss?
juggernaut as in game pre order?
it could be luke cage..
I still say Ironman, look at the colors and the boots. The neck of the armors are like almost yellow from what I've seen. Might be his classic armor.
I really cant see why its Ironman! and if it were his classic costume, i dont know why hes the only one wearing a differnet costume to the rest ¬¬ juggernaut would be much Bulkyer! plus we have enough bulky characters. Luke has different boots. its Cap!
He's wearing a different costume because you can choose costumes? Why the h*** would there be an Astonishing Wolverine, Modern Luke and Classic Thor?
Either it's Ironman or Colossus (I think the latter because Ironman has smaller boots than that. It would make sense if he's in his classic red & gold costume, because it's those colors I see on the picture. His figure and appearance would also match.. The lighting on his body too (what's white is slightly purple/pink)
We're trying to make waaaay to many assumptions based on a screenshot where you can see a boot. ONE BOOT. You can't even see the whole other boot (not that it matters, who wears two different boots?). Let it go guys, there's no way to figure it out by one stinkin' boot.
There, I said it.
I'm actually basing it of every part of the body I saw XD But, no matter, I think we'll find out soon enough :P
So the rumor is that the new Game Informer reveals Juggernaut as a character. Weeeee. *sarcasm* Another ho-hum character. He'll be sitting on the sidelines with Songbird when I play.
I'm actually some kind of a fan of Jugs. Really. I mean it. Seriously.
Strong, gots da additude, and would choose him over the Avengers any day. With Avengers I mean IM, Cap, Luke, but not wolvy XD
Also, Deadpool is now officially confirmed
http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/en/news_comments/deadpool_making_the_merc/
Deadpool looks a bit strange.
Yeah the last few paragraphs of that article they explain why.
Indeed. I dislike the boots. I don't recall DP having boots like that. But a big bravo on the textures though.
Thanks Teancum :D
Quote from: Dihan on May 15, 2009, 04:42AM

Agreed but he still looks good.
I did a LOT of cleanup on the Wikipedia article, making sure it has 100% reliable references and whatnot. You might check it out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Ultimate_Alliance_2:_Fusion
is Juggernaut really playable :( aarrrrgggh ! :( i dont want it to be all the strong bulky guys :(
WE NEED MORE FEMALES ! ! ! ! !
but i like that Deadpool is playable :P but not to sure about the costume !
I hope its not Juggernaut, i want some classic marvel characters mixed with some new classic characters, not some stupid villain turned hero turned villain again. I wouldnt mind fighting against him, but playing with him is a no for me.
Same here. I'm starting to really think about not buying this game. I mean I don't want Juggernaut wasting a perfectly good slot. I'll probablly only buy this game now if Jean Grey is in as a playable character.
I'd say Jean out, but that's my opinion :P
Psylocke instead of Jean, that would be interesting.
NDJR does have a point: Jugs IS a villain. He was an X-Man though.. But again a villain (just saw this :P )
Juggernaut? Really? Come on! there are a lot of better characters to be included in the game (sorry for the fans), why Juggernaut, maybe a DLC or a boss, but playable? I mean the hulk and luke cage (woooow I can't wait :eek: :nervous: :ugh: )are already in...
Quote from: BLaw on May 15, 2009, 01:46PM

Agree, but If they are going to include a sexy telepath in the game, Emma Frost would be my choice, haha, damn! we need more females in this game, especially a psychic one ;)

I'm with you, what the heck is goin on, why they include characters like this? Juggernaut, I can't believe it!
Ps. Another big sorry for Juggernaut fans, nothing personal :)
Well I'm a jugs fan, but I DO agree with what NDJR said though. This is supposed to be a hero game:P

And that's the point my friend, this is a HERO game, he's a villian again now, but the most important thing is that I don't remember Juggernaut fighting in the civil war or be in the story line, or affected by, for example, as the xmen, they are neutral, but you can see the original 4 xmen (4, no 5 since Jean is dead in this story) trying to protect the 198 mutants in Civil War x-men, or Emma talking to Iron man about the best choice for the remaining mutants in the world, or Bishop in the front line...
Juggernaut was confirmed in a Game Informer magazine to be a pre-order bonus that does not take up a slot on the roster.
That's right. Good, so now at least a good character can take up a slot.

Juggernaut was confirmed in a Game Informer magazine to be a pre-order bonus that does not take up a slot on the roster.
so if you pre order you get a bonus playable?
Yes. It's just going to be a code to unlock him, though. He'll be on the disc but inaccessible. It's what they did with the Weapon X Arena for the Wolverine Origins game.
oh ok get it now :)
Will it be the same code for all copies of the game on the system or will every code be different on the system ?
It'll probably be different. I'm pretty sure the one for Wolverine Origins was different.
Juggernaut has been officially revealed:
http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/en/news_comments/the_making_of_juggernaut/
Refreshing look.
Indeed. I was pleasantly surprised by how he looks - it's not as generic as his comic look.
Though the armor plating kinda looks too.. how can I say it.. too much for Jugs. But it still looks good. Hopefully they will put the classic and Ultimate costumes in it.
I prefer his classic costume. He looks way to bulky.
Hey, hey, hey! It looks cool! Seeing him like this almost makes me wanna get him for MUA #1....
looks pretty cool! but i dont see why theve 're-moderated' some of the characters costumes but not others. i would love to see modded versions of theF4 costumes, i think they look to plain! :( if u know what i mean ¬¬
I'm not sure if this has been noted yet, but here's what GameStop has up for the box-art:

but yet ANOTHER male character ¬¬
bring on the females !
Mmm, so Juggernaut, well although he's not my fav, I have to admit that he look quite well, in fact he has one of the best design, at least for me, compared to the design of other characters that appear in the trailers and screenshots, Deadpool, another one that is not my favorite, but he's fun and he was good in the first MUA, so yes, he's a great adition to the team :)

And yes! we need more super females here!
:emmafrost:
Juggernaut does look nice but I would prefer someother characters before him.
The box-art doesnt look very interesting was thinking of something like Xmen animated series were they are running at eachother.
Does anyone know if their going to be doing the team specials like they've done in MUA and XML2, like when you got four women, it's Femme Fatale. Cause if they are, they have to have another female. It just wouldn't be right.
I would prefer 1-2 females on the cover. And 7-8 females if the roster is 24. If 30 then at least 10-12.

this isnt just a boys game! its for everyone who likes the Marvel Univrese! and that includes females if the developers havent noticed ¬¬
I mean we only have 3 females right now. And there are only a few slots left. I would like Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Psylocke, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Wasp, Elektra, Spider-Woman, Scarlet Witch, and Black Cat. I really doubt that all of them will make it in though.
I'd say Frost, Psylocke, She-Hulk, Ms Marvel, Elektra, Spider Woman, Black Cat, Storm, Firestar and Mystique for females. That would definetely do the trick.

Yes,
technically the game is for everyone, but let's be totally honest, how many women/girls compared to men/boys are going to go out and buy this game? I'd say less than 20% of the players will be female, and I'd say that's even pushing it.
If you want females, you need to get over to the Official Site's forums and make your voice heard. Whining about it here won't do you any good, but pushing for them over there might get you DLC characters at least (at this point in development they probably won't add characters to the roster -- not enough time to finish em')
It's the same with a PC version. Don't cry about that here, go make your stand on the Official Forums. If you get a PC thread going maybe enough people will join your cause.
Beleive it or not, there are a lot of women who DO play these games, I know quite a few of them actually. I'm not sayin it's even between women and men, but there are a lot.
Ye but TC is right, just take a look at MUA1, there are like 4 standard females, 2 dlc. If I'm correct. If I'm not, I'd say 5 or 6 others. Compare that to the males, and you get the point.
There were no DLC females in MUA1. The only extra females were Ronin and Black Widow in the PSP version.
Newslad, the guy who releases new news, has said that Juggernaut is only for the PS3 and 360 version. The Wii is getting something different.
Boo! I say. Console exclusives SUCK. Then again, Vicarious Visions is only making the PS3 and 360 versions.

You're telling me that you know
"a lot of women who DO play these games"? Yeah, uh huh. I'm not saying girls/women don't play video games, but the fact is they market 98% of video games to teenage/young adult boys/men. Plus do you
really think characters like Emma Frost are marketed towards women? Yeah, that's what every woman wants; to play as a half-naked woman who's very... umm... "blessed".
Don't make this something it isn't. This isn't about female gamers.
Well, I wasn't sayin all that, I was just sayin I really do know quite a few women who play videogames. (Family and friends) I know the guys outrank the women when it comes to that.
Quote from: Dihan on May 21, 2009, 01:11PM
Boo! I say. Console exclusives SUCK.
Completely agree on this!
And i do want more female characters, but i dont think there should be a quota of how many women characters must be in the game, just pick the best characters for the storyline and hopefully some great women characters make it in.
@ Dihan: I was talking about OUR DLC females like Ronin and BW :P Because they weren't included for PC.. Which makes the whole women thing even worse :P
For females I really only think they should add Jean Grey and Ms. Marvel. All others are ones I would like as extra if there is room.
Personally I always thought Ronin was a cool exclusive - her modded version rocks in MUA 1 on the PC but thats not really the subject at the moment ;)
If I was to want more female characters I'd have to go for Rogue, Psylocke, Magma and Kitty Pride - and not the ditzy cheerleader version from the new ultimate comics :P I mean the cool blade user from the OS.
Kitty, Psylocke, and Rogue are all cool but I doubt that they would include all of them. I'm betting Psylocke especially since she returned to the X-Men. Magma however is not that of an important X-Man though. Maybe Jean too since it is technically confirmed that Jean is returning sometime like in UXM 511 plus all the clues that show that Madyelene is gonna revive her.
One of the old MUA1 official forums moderators said that her favourite character was going to be in the game. Her favourite is known to be Psylocke. Whether it's true or not is still to be seen.
I hope that it is true. I remember reading somewhere that Psylocke was originally planned to be in MUAI. And Longshot was gonna be a PSP Exclusive.
If we are talking about female characters, wouldn't it be cool, if She-hulk would be in?
it would make sence!

I wasn't saying that I believed they'd be in there - I just meant that if I had to CHOOSE female characters. Those would be the one's I choose.
Quote from: haydnc95 on May 23, 2009, 11:12AM

I somehow doubt that, if Hulk is going to be in this game - and since She-Hulk, like Magma and Kitty, is a relatively unimportant character - it doesn't really make any sense for her to be in this game.
Well Magma might not be that important but to me Kitty and Shulkie are way more important. They are important Marvel characters to me though.
That may be so but in the grand scheme of things they aren't really relative characters - they only have select fan groups
I guess you are right.
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 :)
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.
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.

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.
Dihan would you be able to post links to the Gamespot preview and Green goblin trailer?
Please :D
i dont think hes online :( and i really wanted to see the gameplay today :(
http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6211302/
theres the gameplay, but i cant find the GG trailor :9
Yeah theres meant to be a longer version of that trailer that goes for 5mins or something which must be the one Dihan is talking about since he is saying about deadpool being the first boss.
It's this one:
http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6211386/
Sorry for not being on - I was sleeping.
Thats ok thanks :D
GG looks soooo coool :) but only 24 characters :( the rest better be females ¬¬ seriously, 3! wtf!
i like how there alternate costume are gunna be in more detail :)
i hope the DLC is gunna birng more good characters in :D
So september release date thats still very far away :(
There is always a bright side to everything. The longer, the better the game will probably be. The more time, more characters, maybe. So, yeah.
http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/#/Characters/
It seems they've already decided the number of characters...
(24)
However Juggernaut is part of the 24 characters. I'm pretty sure that they will add more squares, because they wouldn't make Juggernaut the 24th character. He is just a bonus character.
I'm not so optimistic anymore.
By the way, here's a picture of the alleged character selection screen (or at least the one they should in the E3): http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn20/vanillaspida/?action=view¤t=1.png

Looks decent but I would of prefered a thing like were they are running towards each other with each faction on opposite sides or something like one of the civil war comic book covers.
Looks cool, and it looks like they'll be at least two more fliers.

And it appears that this female can fly, so I think that the only female that had an important role in the civil war and can fly as well is Ms. Marvel. I don't remember anyone else, maybe Spider Woman, but the silhouette makes me think that is Carol.
So I think she's in.
Talking about the video posted by Dihan, Songbird looks really fun to play and I like the butterfly effect while she's flying. I'm curious about the Green Goblin and Venom, and Storm seems to be more powerfull, at least compared to the first MUA.

:emmafrost:
Yeah, either Ms. Marvel or Spider-Woman. Perhaps even Rogue, Jean Grey, Elektra or Psylocke (these two leaping in the air), or Moonstone.
Yep , I think I mightve said about the Xmen beginning in another thread already lol
In the thread discussing the menu it says the person it the background is holding a bow so fingers crossed for hawkeye :D
Hawkeye would be cool. I was hoping he would be in and now there is a chance he could be.

It's really difficult to say, because none of this women are involved in the civil war, Rogue can't fly anymore, Jean is dead (at least not for too long in Uncanny x-men ^_^), Elektra is a Skrull imposter (during the civil war) and I don't hear anything about Psylocke, If I remember, the guy in the video mentioned that it would be included characters that are related to the storyline, but at this point I don't know :D
Moonstone would be awesome, I love her! she's fantastic in the Ms. Marvel comic I also think Hawkeye would be cool too :)
:emmafrost:
The president of Vicarious Visions gave three categories they file characters under:
1) Those important to the plot (e.g. Songbird)
2) Those they can't live without (e.g. Hulk)
3) Those that are big fan favourites
I personally don't think any of the fan favourites have been announced yet. They said they listen to the fans and have done surveys. One of them was a poll on the main site and Emma Frost got the most votes.
I think the last characters will consist of:
1) Two more X-Men
2) One more Thunderbolt
3) Two others who are iconic or important
I think we'll get:
1) Cyclops and Emma Frost - both the current leaders of the X-Men. They both also add something different. No other characters in the game have optic blasts, telepathy or a diamond form. They are both very important.
2) Moonstone or Bullseye - Bullseye is more popular (apparently) but Moonstone is a female member and rounds the team out well. She could also replace Ms Marvel.
3) Hawkeye and Punisher - both are popular and can add something different.
Agree with Dihan sounds like a very possible list of remaining characters , so far most characters revealed kinda fit into two categories but thats just what I think. Hawkeye and Punisher were big characters left out of the first one so they should be in this time round.
Since DLC is confirmed does anyone else reckon there will be a few characters and the rest alternate costumes ?
I think we'll probably see a mixture.
Ya know, why are they sticking to 24 slots when 30 slots should keep the game playable even longer? (Counting that the game can't be modded)
I don't know. They keep on saying "24 characters out of the box". Some people have interpreted that as without unlockables, others like myself are saying that's with unlockables as Deadpool, Venom and Green Goblin have to be unlocked.
Quote from: Dihan on June 05, 2009, 12:40AM
The president of Vicarious Visions gave three categories they file characters under:
1) Those important to the plot (e.g. Songbird)
2) Those they can't live without (e.g. Hulk)
3) Those that are big fan favourites
I personally don't think any of the fan favourites have been announced yet. They said they listen to the fans and have done surveys. One of them was a poll on the main site and Emma Frost got the most votes.
I disagree. How are Hulk, Deadpool, Iron Fist, Venom, etc not fan favorites?
Hulk and Venom are somewhat Iconic in my eyes.

I counted some of those under ones that were either part of the plot (Venom and Deadpool) or ones they can't live without (Hulk and Iron Fist). Despite liking a lot of the characters on the roster, some are quite forgettable if you're so used to seeing them in a modded MUA1.
Well, not everyone fits in only one of those three categories, in fact most fit in to at least two categories.
And it's not really fair for us to judge from MUA1 mods. We have to look at it like we're just your average person who likes Marvel characters, but isn't obsessed like us. Because that's where the bulk of their paycheck is going to come from.
I know they fit more than one category, I was just fitting them into where I personally believe they primarily fit. To be honest, I had also completely forgotten about Iron Fist - I had an exam on my mind. I probably should have said "not many fan favourites". The really big fan favourites will probably be revealed towards the end. You can't really say Songbird is really a fan favourite - she may be a fan favourite for fans of the Thunderbolts but she's not nearly well known enough for her to be a big fan favourite. I also can't believe Juggernaut is in. I really hope Juggernaut doesn't take up an X-Men slot.

I like Dihan believe that we will have two more X-Men. Cyclops most likely,plus Jean Grey because she is a fan fav, is one of the most wanted characters for MUAII, and offers psychic and phoenix powers.
Then I think we will have one more Thunderbolt who will be Hawkeye most likely, because he also fits the Avenger status, and adds bows and arrows to the game.
Ms. Marvel will probably be the next, cause of her important role in Civil War, another Avengers and to have a character who could fill a cosmic powered hero role (cause of her Binary powers).
Dr. Strange, cause the game would need a magical character. If not him it could be Scarlet Witch cause she is also magical, another female, and another Avenger, plus she has close ties to the X-Men. But it is most likely Strange.
The last character would be either Bullseye or Psylocke. Juggernaut fits as the 5th X-Men, and the Avengers have 5 members, and so the Thunderbolts's 5th member could be Bullseye. However Psylocke is a fan fav, not to mention the clue by Kalina so there is a chance Psylocke could be the other character and a 6th X-Men.

Well, I say don't worry about Juggernaut, because he will be a bonus for preorder, no? I mean, he would be a bonus, who we don't count, right? If you ask me, Nightcrawler could be a nice choice as an X-Men. We need teleporters!
I think Deadpool will be the only teleporter. Just like Invisible Woman will probably be the only one with a telekinesis move.

Check 3:24 for confirmation on a few characters we already guessed/knew about.

I checked the video, at 3:25, who is that behind Cap? Maybe just I can't recognise her, but there is a slight chance, that she is someone new. (I vote for "just I can't recognise her")
Firestar
As I said, I'm the only one, who can't recognise her. You know who would be awesome? Clint Barton as Ronin or Hawkeye!
lady deathstrike!!!
Cool. A battle between her and Wolverine!
Well, is there anything new?
Nope, don't think so.
Nuts! I'm waiting for the last characters to be unlocked for us gamers (you know what I mean). It would be great, if Cable would be a playable character (I would smash the world with Cable and Deadpool).
Yeah Cable would be awesome! I would have to prefer Jeanie as the psychic. I really hope that this game has some magic character like Wanda or Strange. And if they do the magic characters should be more powerful. Strange was nice but the Witch was terrible in XMLII. I really like how she uses her powers in Wolverine and the X-Men. A powerset based of that would be wonderful if she makes it in the game.
I don't think anyone we've seen that hasn't been confirmed to be playable will be playable.
I agree. Really only Black Widow, Cable, or Hercules have a chance. All three cause of their roles in the Civil War, Cable and maybe the Widow for popularity. Cable brings new gameplay but he has guns and stuff something which Deadpool has so Cable only brings something new unless you count Invisible Woman's telekinsis and if the game has a telepath (Jeanie, Psylocke, Emma, Professor, Rachel). If their is another psychic then Cable could be counted out easily.
I can't wait to play this game (I will buy an XBox 360 in the summer).
Castle Doom gameplay about 1/2 way through this clip
http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/25213
Nice trailer. Only thing that worries me is from that trailer is that it seems like 24 characters will include unlockabes.
Well, this was obvious. They will add new characters as DLC, so there will be plenty more, than 24.
Yes, but I thought that there would be 24 characters not including unlockables. Unlockables from characters 25 to 30-36.
Nope. When he says "out of the box" think of it like a box of doughnuts:
You buy a box of doughnuts. In that box there are 10 doughnuts. There are no more and there are no less. To get to the last few doughnuts you have to work your way through the box (unless you cheat and eat them all at once).
It's the same for this. There are 24 characters - some of which you get when you start and others that you get as you progress. There will probably also be cheats so you can start with all of them.
Nice explanation.
MUA2 site glitch?
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a255/sicvitameus/gambitcain.jpg)
It's Juggernaut's anti-reg profile tab in Italian. It mentions Gambit.
Weird, I saw it in english.
You have to change your language to Italian.
I get that. I assumed that the glitch caused his page to have all the words in Italian instead of english.
oh wow do any others say a different name? Gambit wasnt involved in the Civil War storyline right? but it would be cool to have him as a playable.

I checked a few and no one else was mentioned.
Here's the Google translation:
QuoteHaving lived in the street, Gambit knows what it means to live on the margins of society. In addition to the fact that the SRA and virtually identical to the entry of mutant and easier to turn Gambit dicide who help him, and not simply do what they are ordered.
The "Atto di Registrazione del mutanti" is the Mutant Registration Act.
I was thinking that if they made an entry for Gambit he might be playable. And Kalina said her fav character was in and her three favs or Psylocke, Spidey, and Gambit. Everybody assumed Psylocke but it could be Gambit. So there is a big chance he is in.
"Big" might be too small of a word to describe Gambit's chances of being in, all things considered.
Yeah, maybe not big but still. He has a good chance especially due to his popularity and role in Wolverine Origins.
Updated translation -- Edited for readability:
QuoteHaving lived on the street, Gambit knows what it means to live on the edge of society. In addition to the fact that the Superhero Registration Act is virtually identical to Mutant Registration Act it's easier for Gambit to decide who to help, and not simply do what they is ordered.
Even more evidence - the moderators on Hero HQ took the thread down so they're obviously trying to hide it.
Wasn't Ms Marvel found in the code for the old flash page? How would we go about decompiling the new main page?
thats kind of stupid that they deleted the thread, if its already out just announce the character or say it was a mistake.
On the note of announced characters - Originally I pre-ordered MUA2 for Juggy, but when I realized that he was part of the 24 total characters I felt cheated, so I deleted my pre-order. I'll end up buying it for PS2 since it's much cheaper, and we may just get lucky and have an older version of Alchemy that runs on the PS2 version. N-Space isn't well known yet, and I'm guessing to keep up with both the DS and PS2 versions that they're going to just take the next-gen assets and dumb them down to PS2 and DS standards -- at least that's what I'm hoping.
Here's hoping Gambit isn't a console-exclusive, and that they're using the same engine as MUA1 PS2
Wait I though Juggy was an exclusive charcter if you pre-order with him being the 25th.
That's what most peoples thought, too. Apparently Activsion and Raven aren't men and women of their word, really.

Well, the rumor going around now is that Juggy is only exclusive to the 360/PS3, and that there might be a Wii exclusive. I doubt it. It's all forum talk.
This game is getting very confusing and for me it is going downhill.
I was exploring the MUAII site and they said that if you pre-order the game for xbox360 or ps3 you get vip access for MUA2 that comes July 1st and you will get the code to unlock Juggernaut when you recieve the game. I have heard that you get the code with the game, but others say that when the game is released the code is e-mailed to you. I'm pretty sure that he is exclusive like Colossus and Moon Knight for next-gen consoles. Both of those characters were added to the 23 limit roster and they didn't replace anyone. They were still called exclusive though so I'm quite sure Juggy will be a bonus 25th character.
Man, this thing is confusing. Ah well, I just wait for the game and don't think about these things.
Yeah the people of that site also know about the glitch and they assume that at the Comic Con Gambit will be revealed as everybody thinks he is in now.

Maybe, but why are then are there only 24 slots under the characters section of the site and Juggy takes up one of them?
Well another thing being assumed on the site is that they haven't made another one and are using Gambit's slot for Juggernaut at the moment. I'm happy though that there is a chance he will be confirmed at the upcoming comic-con. A lot of people think that two X-Men will be confirmed at the comic-con. Why they think that I don't know, but they do. People originally said Cyke and Jean, but because of Gambit they think he and Jean will be announced.
That's why I figured I'd just stop guessing. It's getting to confusing and at this point they probably have all but one or two characters completely finished.
Yeah. They probably are pretty much done with all the characters.
I was looking at the forums again and apperantly Extraction Points have been greatly changed. You can now change characters on the fly without having to go to Extraction points and you can save anywhere.
On July 1st visit www.gamestop.com/MUA2VIP and enter code from preordering to recieve Juggernaut and Vip codes emailed to you.

Ms. Marvel next to Venom
Jean Grey next to Storm
Wasp underneath the Hulk
Gambit and Cyclops next to Luke Cage
Dr. Strange next to Iron Man
Jean is a fan fav, unique character, one of the most popular X-Men, and very well known so she is probably in. She is also one of the most popular females in Marvel
Ms. Marvel had a big role in Civil War, and is one of the most popular females today in Marvel
Wasp is wanted by many, and only she could be in that spot due to her smallness
Gambit is pretty much confirmed and both he and Cyke are well wanted, and popular in Marvel so they are next to each other explaining the giant blob
Dr. Strange is in the huge blob next to Iron Man, because he is unique with magical powers and his cape is what is mostly taking up the room
And how exactly were you able to see that?
Its just my guesses. Lots of people on that site are guessing the same thing but with Strange replaced by Hawkeye. So if everyone is thinking that I'm guessing at least 1-3 of these characters will make it in.
So... Gambit's now confirmed. Look at the box art.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/18/Marvel_Ultimate_Alliance_2.jpg)
Seems to be genuine box art too. It's on most vendor/gaming coverage sites (not just one or two)

http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6211584/
I had been about to post that. One interesting thing is something I found on the forms. The 3 most wanted characters for MUAII are these.
1. Cyclops
2. Jean Grey
3. Gambit
Gambit has been confirmed so I'm guessing Cyke and Jean will be too. Also too mention that cover is probably a variant as there is another with Thing in Gambit's spot and Thor in Deadpools'.
I'd actually say Emma Frost is the third most wanted.
Actually Emma was the fourth.
As I know, Cyclops has never been a "most wanted" as Jean or Emma. Gambit is a big surprise, at least for me, but well he's cool and has great powers so I think is a great addition.
On the other side, I think that the last female to be confirmed is Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers or Moonstone) since she is one of the biggest characters in Civil War.
Yes Jean has the most extensive topic in MUA II site and Emma won the poll in the main site, but there are no clues, or something that makes me think that both psychics are in.
Emma is my favorite and for me she has more chances to be included than Jean, because her importance and relevance in comis since 5 years ago, but at this point I don't know really, perhaps they are preparing a big surprise at the end, or both girls will be included as a DLC. :confused:
Damn! I'm still think that there are a lot of useless characters included in this game. :mad:
:emmafrost:
I'm personally happy with Gambit. As long as it's not that flaming pigeon! :P
Quote from: Dihan on June 30, 2009, 03:04PM

I know, I'm really happy with him too, in fact he's one of the few characters that makes me want to buy this game, the other ones are Songbird, Invisible Woman, Deadpool and Spider Man.
But I'm still want Emma in! :D
:emmafrost:
Well I think that the polls are for DLC as I really doubt Angel would make it in the initial roster. Plus the makers of the game most likely already started working on the characters before the polls. Jean has a big chance as she is very unique, greatly wanted, is one of the most popular women in Marvel. She may not have been in the comics for a while but she is defintally coming back and she is quite important in the X-movies. Plus she has become one of the main cast of Wolverine and the X-Men (second season) so I think this forshadows Jean's return in the comics. I do hope Emma makes it too and I'm guessing Emma, Rogue, She-Hulk, and Angel will be DLC as all four have won the polls.
Quote from: Dihan on June 30, 2009, 03:04PM
As long as it's not that flaming pigeon! :P
Noooo! Long live the flaming pigeon lol.
Im happy with the characters so far, the only character that i will be dissapointed if they dont make it in is Ms Marvel.
Yes long live the flaming pigeon indeed (assuming we are talking about Jean).
I like all the characters and if there was a pc version I only would mod out Juggernaut, too bad he wouldn't be in it. I really just want Dr. Strange, Jean, Ms. Marvel, Cyke, Shulkie, Wanda, Wasp, Psylocke, and Hawkeye. Long list I know but in reality its not. Half of them will most likely make it and the other half hopefully shall be DLC.
Also on the White King's comment I was suprised that Cyke was number 1 most wanted. He has quite a large hate thread on the forums for MUAII.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of Summers either. Cyclops isn't a bad character per say, I just don't see the big deal. Same way with Jean. They're both really cool, but I just can't get into them. Especially since Emma became the "new Jean" if you will.
I'm gonna end up getting it for PS2 hoping the models will work in MUA1, so I can't hope for DLC characters that being said I'd just like to have Hawkeye and a non-X-Men female.
I probably wont be getting it either way, i dont have any gaming console to play it with and even if theres a pc version i doubt my laptop could handle it (lol it can barely handle MUA1 and thats with 3danalyze's help). So im just hoping like Teancum that the ps2 modesl work in MUA1.

I like him, but marvelfan12345 post that he's a most wanted, and as I remember the most wanted in MUA II site were Jean, Emma and Psylocke.
If he's included, it would be ok, since I think that he's more useful than for example Luke Cage, Wht's the point of having 3 big tanks as he, the thing and hulk at the same time??? I honestly think is a waste of space in the final roster. Maybe if 2 of them were DLC...
Quote from: Teancum on June 30, 2009, 07:23PM

Emma the new Jean? I assume you are joking, both are diferent characters, perhaps they have the same power (telepathy) but they never been the same.
Jean is playfull and lovely, Emma is more sultry and cold. Fire and Ice you know? ;)

:emmafrost:
If you ask me, Cyclops, Emma Frost and Jean Grey is just boring. I want characters, who wasn't in other games (I mean X-Men Legends, X-Men Legends II and MUA I).
Good luck finding important characters who weren't in them at all, then.
Quote from: Dihan on July 01, 2009, 01:25AM

I agree. The heroes in the game should be those in comics, that are basicly the same from the last games. But Wiccan (from Young Avengers) could be one of the playables. He's important in some way...
Quote from: Dihan on July 01, 2009, 01:25AM

Punisher
Black Cat
Vision (wasn't playable)
Yay! Three important characters that conveniently don't include any mutants as all the important ones have been excluded because they've been in other games.
Those three are awesome characters but Punisher is playable in his own games, Black Cat in Spider-Man Friend or Foe, and Vision in that old Avengers game.
Punisher I'll give you. The other two games were awful, so they don't count.
True true. All three would be awesome as playable. Although Black Cat and Vision will probably be DLC.
Firestar, haven't seen her in any game..
They could make themed DLC btw... Like Bruiser Pack, X-Men, Avengers and all that.
I'd also love it if you could be them individually too. I hated that I had to buy Dr Doom, Sabretooth, Magneto, Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Hulk in order to get Hawkeye and Venom. Not that those characters are dumb or anything, it's just that it was wasted money to me.
Cool idea. Packs and single characters.
I probably won't get this game - I have a PS2 but I'll get bored with it since I won't be able to get at the source code to modify it like I can with the PC.
Still, I am impressed with all the work that they've put into it... and sad that it won't be for PC but thats an old horse.
For my money, if I wanted a character who hasn't often been a playable character, I'd have to choose Mystique - she's a pretty awesome char to play (power wise) but now that the herostat is mostly filled out *shrug* it doesn't matter.
Well, if the PS2 version uses Alchemy 3.5 or older we can probably port a lot of the game over to MUA1. If it uses Alchemy 3.2 then we can use the animations/models for XML2 or MUAXbox
Found out the list of most wanted MUAII characters is for X-Men characters although I wouldn't doubt that Jean, Cyke, Emma, and Gambit are the 4 most wanted. Here is the list.]
Cyclops: 448 (Has a voice actor but unknown)
Jean Grey: 375
Gambit: 345 (Possibly confirmed)
Emma Frost: 292
Nightcrawler: 283
Psylocke: 226
Iceman: 218
Rogue: 179
Beast: 156
Angel: 149
Colossus: 144
Shadowcat: 129
Magneto: 108
Polaris: 96
Havok: 90
Dazzler: 50
Jubilee: 44
Quicksilver: 34
Sabretooth: 32
Banshee: 28
Mystique: 28
Scarlet Witch: 28
X-23: 26
Cannonball: 25
Professor X: 24
Sunfire: 20
Warpath: 20
Magma: 17
Pyro: 17
Sunspot: 16

im sure they will, thanks to the wonders of xbox live and playstation network, game producers never make complete games anymore. theres always the DLC to grab that extra bit of money from your pocket.
I hope the packs will be X-Men, Avengers, Thunderbolts, and Marvel Women. They make the more sense.

Kindof a crappy view on things, don't you think? I have yet to play a game that didn't feel complete before DLC. DLC does what it should -- gives consumers replayability while boosting sales for those who don't yet own the game.
I want Black Cat lol
It seems the VIP section is up , has anyone thats a VIP checked it out ?
Newest clue.
1st off - We'll be revealing new characters at SDCC. Good guesses so far but don't assume you've clinched it.
First clue is as follows: This character's powers are heavily involved with their outerwear.
So I'm guessing Cyke, Havok, Guardian, Doctor Strange, Captain Britain, Penance, or even Doom.
So its someone that gets their powers from what they wear? Like Iron Man's armor? I have no guesses so far.
Their powers have something to do with their costume. Some also say Hawkeye, Wasp, Jean Grey, and Henry Pym.

Agree, This is obsessive, why every single clue leads to Jean??, one thing is hoping that maybe she's in, and another thing is believe that every news and clues mean that she is the next to be confirmed. Sorry but that's insane.
The clue is:

In wich way her powers are heavily involved with whatever she's wearing???
Doesn't matter if she's green, dark or white phoenix, or if she's marvel girl or simply Jean Grey. Her powers are the same, she still is a telepath with telekinetic abilities and the control of the Phoenix force.
Quote from: nodoubt_jr on July 08, 2009, 02:21PM

Iron man. That's a really good example of the clue. His powers are involved with his armor, without that he's just Tony Stark. But he's already in, so he doesn't count.
:emmafrost:
War Machine
I reckon Penance he would have to be in the game seeing as he started the civil war and they need to round out the Thunderbolts team.
I think it's Penance.
Penance seems to be the most likely.
Another character who fits with the clue is Cloak.
Um guys...flame me all you want but please have this list in the back of your mind...
For 360/PS3/Wii/PS2
Gambit
Jean
Penance
Iceman
Ms Marvel
Nick Fury(some sort of special deal)
PS2/WII Only
Psylocke
Blade
Cyclops
This came from someone I know, and He was right when he provided me with info on MUA1 (e.g he told me that Iceman would be playable way before his reaveal)
I'm not going to flame you, but I think it's better to leave all rumors and speculations and other unofficial announcements out of a topic named "Official News from MUA".

I hope you are right (yes because Jean is in) but also because I like Iceman, and Ms. Marvel. If this is true I will get ps2 just so I can play as Cyclops and Psylocke. Why Blade is in I don't know as Elektra would make more sense than him, but oh well.
Blade/Elektra doesn't matter to me. I hate both those characters.
I like Elektra better. As both were failures in the first game I thought that none with be in, so I'm kinda not believing that part especially as Elektra is more popular.
There are still the PSP exclusives...I was shocked not to see Hawkeye in the roster... Maybe him and elektra are PSP exclusives...who knows...and I made a thread to discuss this, so we dont have to spam the official news :)
It could be Emma she always wears white. ^_^

Although I would like tho say that you are right ;) Her case is the same as Jean, no matter what she's wearing, she always is a powerfull telepath with a shiny diamond form.
See the Dark Xmen as example, she's wearing black now and still has the same powers.
:emmafrost:
hmmm.
That doesn't have anything to do with her powers though. I've found out why people think the clue applies to Jean. It is actually kind of stupid but it could apply to her, but I doubt the clue is about her.
"I think Jean Grey. She has the Phoenix emblem on her outfit and her outfit changes with her personality."
Another example
"Everytime Jean uses the Phoenix she changes into the Phoenix costume (once or twice this hasn't happened."
Could it be rogue, she needs her gloves on all the time, well now she doesn't...
She doesn't now??
have you been reading x-men legacy??
No, not really only the second issue of X-Men Legacy. I sometimes skim through the issues to see what is up with Rogue and Gambit.
Professer x fixed her, she could now make out with Gambit. The book will now follow Rogue, Gambit, and Danger.
Thats is awesome for her now.
New clue:
QuoteThis character has changed their super hero name over the course of their career.
Definitely Speedball/Penance.
Yeah defintally Penance.
EDIT: Wait Teancum are you a member of VIP as only VIP members can see the second clue?
Other possibilites are Jean Grey, Hawkeye, Wasp, and Hank Pym.
What about Kitty
i mean, Shadowcat, Sprite, Areil...
but i doubt it
so i would say either Psylocke or Pencance, who ever he is ¬¬
Quote from: Teancum on July 09, 2009, 01:56PM
New clue:
Definitely Speedball/Penance.
This clue goes with the other right? If not thats such a broad questions, a lot of characters have changed their names.
Yeah the clues go together. Like I said above I say either, Henry Pym, Wasp, Jean Grey, or Hawkeye.
Pym has gone by multiple code-names and has had various powers with his various costumes.
Wasp uses Wasp-like powers in most of her costumes. She has also been Giant-Girl (including Marvel Adventures) with giant-powers.
Hawkeye uses arrows with a bow in this identity. As Ronin he uses swords and other ninja weapons. As Goliath he can grown. You don't see him growing in his Ronin costume.
Jean Grey usually uses Phoenix powers in her Phoenix costumes and psychic powers in her Marvel Girl cosutmes. You don't usually see her in her X training costume with Phoenix powers.
I'm not a VIP, they just forgot to lock the forum correctly, and so I clicked the topic title and was in.
Glad.
Well Jugs ain't the one. Cyc only needs to rely on the visor. Guardian could be it, otherwise.. Warmachine. I believe he was in one of the trailers or so?
But Cyke and War Machine have never changed their codename. Guardian has though.
Cyke was called Slim for a while, but i don't think that counts...
I think it is more for codenames so Shadowcat it would be Ariel and Sprite but not Kitty as that is not her codename and it never has been.
Cyclops was Eric the Red for a bit.
I suspect the two clues go together as they have specified in the past whether there are two reveals or not. It's most likely to be Penance:
1) A fourth Thunderbolt
2) Very important Civil War character
3) Used to be Speedball
4) His power is directly linked to his costume
I hope it is not but it is most likely him.

Well, that's what I was talking about, REAL proves, no especulation, no fan's ideas, proves people, proves, lol.
So it appears all was right Jeannie is in, and looking at what she's wearing, she will have "Phoenix" powers...
We will have to wait untill they made this "official" if she's in the game or if she will be a DLC.
Well marvelfan12345, you can be really happy with this right? :)

She is in!! Oh yes thank u god!!!
glad your happy!
and personaly, so am i X)
I know because if she was dlc or an exclusive they wouldn't put her on the back so everyone will be lucky enough to play as her. Only want Wanda, Cyke, Psylocke, Ms Marvel, and heck even Emma. I fear that they won't put anymore X-Men.

I'm glad that you are so happy with this news, because I know how much you want her in the game, and I personally thought that she's a great addition to the team, and far usefull than manny others that are included here... Also I think that she's a main character for the same reasons than you.
I really hope that at least one more x men will be revealed (Scott and Emma are my favorite to be included, but also I have hopes for dazzler) and one more thunderbolt (Moonstone!!!)
With this my wishes to get the game are now in 70/75% ^_^
:emmafrost:
to be honest, i would love to see Cyke as the last X-Men, even thou im not the best fan for him. For me i think there are like 4 main X-Men, Wolverine, Jean, Cyke and Storm.I dont know why, but i think there the main ones?? o.O
and deffo for Moonstar! not Penance!!
I dont really see why Jean is in the game but whatever, she better not have taken up a spot for hawkeye/punisher or any other popular characters that were in the Civil war.
I'd be a little disappointed to see Jean in the game, as that shows a serious break in the storyline (wasn't Jean dead at the time?). So hence, what else could have been changed?
To be fair non of these games (xml1, xml2, mua1) follow direct comic storylines, they are in their own little world. so they can definetly change the storyline how they want to so that it fits in this new world.
Im happy with Jean, i love her as a character and i loved her in XML2.

I don't think Jean being in is a giant break in the story. Thor yeah because of Clone Thor but not Jean or DD or Hulk or Gambit. Plus the developers of the game said that the game is a What If? of the storyline and Jean being in is one of the very What Ifs?
Jean is in the game.

Okay, many thing as happened since I was here. So Jean is in? Oh well, I will buy this game anyway. I hope some of the last characters will be good (for me).
A list made by the Greatest_Username which I think is unbiased and very true.
Semi-Confirmed
Jean Grey
Gambit
Very Likely
Hawkeye
Ms Marvel
Vision
Likely
Wasp
Punisher
Penance
Cyclops
Fair Chance
Sentry
Hank Pym
Black Cat
Has a Chance, but Probably Not
Psylocke
Spider-Woman
Dr Strange
Scarlet Witch
Radioactive-Man
Emma Frost
I myself would add Shulkie to the has a chance, but probably not list but I decided to post the list that the Greatest_Username made. This is for initail roster not DLC.
Hmmm, now that I think about it, Vision would be a really unique and awesome addition to the fray
He would. Especially after you look at the Vision mod for MUA and XMLII. I would prefer another female so we can have 6 guessing Ms. Marvel is in.
If Emma doesn't make it into the game they should make her Dlc.
Please no. There are so many other characters that would make for a better variety to the game. We'll have one psychic, and a diamond form just isn't enough to make me want another.
Emma could be ok. I still prefer Psylocke but many people want Emma and as DLC is usually characters that people wanted that didn't make it in the game I would say yes to her.

I'll go with Teancum. I would prefer Hawkeye (if he won't be playable) and Nightcrawler, or even Punisher.
Id love to have Hawkeye, his XML2 Mod is so Cool :D
I'm guessing Hawkeye, Cyke, Ms. Marvel, and Wap will make it in so for DLC I myself want Punisher, Vision, She-Hulk, Dr. Strange, Spider-Woman, Scarlet Witch, and Psylocke.
I would also want Vision, nightcrawler, Hawkeye, and pyslocke

so who's wap? hehehe. kidding aside yeah i wish she'll be playable another avenger wont hurt. though i believe she's going to be in
Some video that for MUAII that helps confirm Jean and Gambit in. I think it is fake but nothing to worry. It is obvious that both are in game from the weeks before. Nice to have some more great characters in.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O-gneIwx2g
Clearly fake.

This should mean there in seeing as the rest of the characters are playable around them.
Also next to the venom on the right (Or in between the two venom pics) doesnt it look like penance to the right of him ?
Just about to post it. You beat me to it. Also yes it does look like Penance. Somebody should go and look behind the main poster and see if it is Penance. Love Jean and Gambit's look.
Yeah stupid person lol. It looks pretty much like Penance from the helmet and arm, Thor is also under spiderman.
Yep theres definetly no doubt that Jean is in (:)) and she is looking good! Yes that does look like Penance. So were the previous clues for Jean or Gambit, or still for a character we dont know about?
The clues sounded to me like they were for Penance.
Does anyone else agree with me that Thor is under spidey ? Or it might just be Gambit.
5 characters leaked in a row. First Juggs by boot. Then Deadpool on a paper advertising the game in Wolverien Origins video game. Gambit on a alternate cover. Jean on the backcover of the game. And now Penance by a MUAII promo sign. I'm betting all three will be revealed at the SDCC. And sorry Venom but that is Gambit. That pic is my new wallpape lol. Honestly only cuz of Jean.
Venom is on there twice. Are those blocks covering some unrevealed character/s or am i mistaken?
It seems so. I say someone go there and look behind that main poster to see if that is really Penance. And to see if anyone else unconfirmed is on.
Ugh, why are Jean's boobs ridiculously huge?
Might just be how shes posing ?
Still so happy to see another pic of her. Can't wait to see a trailer. Gambit looks awesome!!

Well Penance is probably being used for those clues. You can technically see him so no need if you ask me to cover him up more.

Jean Grey gameplay trailer!!! She is awesome although I am a little dissapointed. Looks like she has fiery effects no pink psychic ones. Guess they want the current Phoenix Jean.
Here is the Gambit trailer.

She looks pretty well, although the classic pink efects are missing, it appears that she's mainly a telekietic and there's no Phoenix powers. Her "Fusions" are cool, I think she could be the character that I was waiting for to buy this game, I only expect one more psychic (the blonde one, lol :P) and another female thunderbolt.
:emmafrost:
Well her blast power that burns the enemy with fire could be a Phoenix one. Hopefully she has a fiery aura or Phoenix wings when she flies. Anyway an article reviewing Deadpool, Gambit, and Jean.
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/100/1006050p1.html
Cool :D , although those 2 trailers of the characters havnt been as awesome as others.

You are right, but still is not a "super powerfull almost invincible" Phoenix type power, lol :)

Yeah Gambit was awesome. He looks like one of the best characters although he is one of the most shown characters in powers right now so I really shouldn't judge them yet.
Both look good, i didnt really like Jean's trailer, but Gambits was pretty good.
Yeah Jean's wasn't as good as many people say it was but you get to know four of her abilites. Some force blast that burns enemies with fire, a tk slam, and a pic shows Jean levitating an enemy while flying with some fiery effects. I love how in one pic with Jean flying her sash is also moving around.
On the MUA2 booth it mustve been Penance or someother character to be revealed because in this picture taken there is black covering were the character was.
http://twitpic.com/ba1jn
Why do they always have to give Jean the firey stuff from that flaming pigeon? I prefer her with just the pink effects.
Don't slap me, but I think Jean is rather boring in the trailer.. Gambit has drawn my attention though.
Same here lol, maybe when they reveal her on the MUA2 website there will be a better trailer.
i think its cool how jeans sash and gambits coat moves around when they move and use there powers.
thats never been done before... i think.
but i really like the bit in the trailer when she lifts the furniture off the ground and slams it down.
jean and gambit look amazing!!
long live jean
I know. I love Jean and Gambit. Perhaps two of the best charcters in the game right now!
yay deadpool!
sorry. i felt that was necessary

Penance is 99% official, with an actual in-game shot:
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/marvelultimateallianceiifusion/images/0/22/?tag=imagenav;next
That leaves only 2-3 more reveals for the shipped game
I wonder who will they be (Gambit and Jean is practically revealed). I hope someone like Ronin (or Hawkeye) or Cable will be the last character to be revealed. (I just hope, that it won't be Nick Fury or Emma Frost)
I'm with you Hawkeye (with a Ronin alternate costume) and Cable would make two excellent additions. Cable might not make it because we have a gun character (Deadpool) and a psychic (Jean), but he'd still be awesome.
As three characters from the supposed leaked roster have been confirmed, then it may be Iceman, Ms Marvel and Nick Fury.
I hope not. I want Ms. Marvel, Cyclops, and Spider-Woman but the latter two may not make it. Hawkeye is cool but I wouldn't want him with a Ronin skin as there is no point with him as Ronin holding a bow with only arrow attacks. Cable would be ok but I prefer Cyke as the X-Man and he seems to be more of an NPC. I want two more females as Songbird is on the Pro side and Ms. Marvel may be on that side too if she is in so we wouldn't be able to make a full female team then on the Anti side unless there is another female. And Nick Fury has been confirmed as only an NPC.
I'm a big Iceman fan and he has unique powers. I want him in as much as all the Jean fans wanted Jean in.
Wow didn't know that. He would be cool (no pun intended) and awesome although I myself want some newer faces.
heres a pretty good article about the game http://www.newsarama.com/games/070923-MUA2New.html , i dont know if theres anything new in there, but since i havent read any articles this is all new to me :)
Some info about Jean.
QuoteJean's popularity has definitely been something we've taken into account, though - she's probably one of the characters we've been asked about the most, and the one people have been most worried about not seeing in the game. Ironically, I don't think there was ever a chance she wouldn't be in, I believe she was one of the first characters we intended to include.
That is great to hear that we never had to worry as Jean was gonna be in from the beginning.
Some talk about Jean (really great news) and Gambit.
I'll post my personal gameplay summaries of Jean Grey and Gambit before the end of the day... Right now still working the 'day job' of bug hunting as well as providing coverage.
EDIT: After re-reading the dev blogs, the designers actually talk quite a lot about how these characters play. I don't want to step on their toes, so I'm going keep this pretty short: Basically, Jean's great fun, especially if you're a strategic player. When you deploy her powers correctly, she can completely turn a battle around and help a team to decimate the opposition. She's also got a particular knack for breaking lots of objects at once, which is great for causing strategic explosions and ferreting out collectibles. The one possible downside I can see: due to her popularity in the comics, a lot of people are going to want to slot in Jean immediately and just start unleashing her powers on anything that moves. On Normal difficulty or anything above it, they'll be in for a rough ride: yeah, they'll make a really cool mess and take out a number of foes in fun ways, but they'll probably expose Jean to too much enemy fire and get her health chewed down. But if you have the patience to hang back for a few seconds and watch the situation (or the skills to jump in while navigating through the ebb and flow of enemies), Jean is simply a monster on the battlefield. An advanced player will be able to figure this out pretty fast, for the average player (or someone just new to the game) it may take a few battles before they start really grasp what Jean can do.
Aaaand we're on to Gambit! It's probably not a surprise that he's a big favorite around the office. In terms of gameplay, Gambit's obviously good at ranged combat, but he's best when you mix up his ranged and melee. All his moves are really "flashy" and just plain cool... If you like movies with lots of explosions, he's your guy. Actually, both of these new characters are big on the "visual factor," as in they're just really fun to watch. Gambit's also great for beginning players, as he's got a range of powers that are really different but not individually complicated. That makes him really useful when you're learning the ropes of switching between powers and melee, or just generally experimenting with different tactics.

Hey how many times can a VIP code be used. Like if someone gave his friend one and then he put the code in and the friend put the same code in. With both be able to get VIP with the same code?
By the way Gambit and Jean have got their character bios up. In Jean's they mention that she has the power of telepathy which she can use to fire mental blasts so I'm guessing her projectile is really a mental blast. It's weird how her X3 costume is in there. I love how Rogue's pic is in Gambit's.
They made Jean look really beautiful..

I think only once, if they gave out the 1 code everyone could use it and then there would be no point to VIP.
why not just give their username and password to their friend so they could see whats on there?
At the moment theres 2 pictures for VIP's and Im pretty sure they been posted on the normal forum, so nothing special is on there yet.
Saw a video of Storm. Her powers look like she has her lightning strike, a whirlwind, a wind popup attack, and a blizard. Weird how that fills up the four powers but it doesn't include her wind knockback attack unless blizard is a boost. Songbird has a sort of popup attack, some exploding projectile, sound darts, and some scream with pink effects. Cap looks like he has the four powers from the first game minus his radial attack.
Ms marvel has been leaked : http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Bionicflmer/Untitled-1.jpg
So it seems that leaked roster could be coming true.
I'll be really happy if Iceman is really going to be playable.
I just hope that leaked roster is wrong in Nick Furys part, he wasnt a character that people really liked and when he is already a NPC in the game it wouldnt make much sense like last time with him and Doom.
Hawkeye and Punisher seemed like two characters they shouldve put it this time but I guess they didnt think so.
Yeah - I'd take Hawkeye over Nick Fury any day of the year.
Nick Fury? eww...
Yes Ms Marvel. Ughh this means Fury might be in. I wish some female like Psylocke would be in instead of Iceman.
Awesome, now the game feels complete to me.
I know. Psylocke09 said that he thinks Fury is an error and that Punisher, Nova, or Spider Woman will be in instead.
Nick Fury must have been the worst character in MUA 1
Quote from: marvelfan12345 on July 24, 2009, 08:39PM

So you want another psychic instead of someone who has a power that is next to completely unrepresented anywhere else in the Marvel Universe? I'm sure people forget that Iceman is one of the most power mutants currently in existence and he was one of the original five.
Here's a task: find another major character who can create and control ice.
Besides, according to the leaked roster Psylocke is an exclusive for the PS2 and Wii versions.
The list is correct, and I HATE simply HATE Nick...he was lame in the first game and now we have to see him again!The only thing that conforts me is that the guy who gave the list said that Nick was some sort of special deal, so I hope that there is one more super duper secret character and that is why the "guy" who made the leak didnt know...
Well I hope you are right. Iceman isn't bad but I stil prefer another X-Men. I felt Storm or Iron Man can take his ice powers. I just hope Nick Fury if he must be in is another exclusive. A waste of an exclusive but hopefully then we can get Spider-Woman, Dr. Strange, or maybe even Psylocke.
I posted this on the Leaked list thread but it is info from someone who played the demo at Comic con.

I totally agree with Dihan.. Iceman is a unique character. He deserves the spot on the roster more than a psychic / telekeblatic personage. But I do prefer Psylocke over Jean.
1. Psylocke is more unique
2. Jean has TK+Fire - Psylocke + Human Torch please.
I don't get the whole what if part of this game. First of all, we got "teased" with the ending movies of MUA1... Galactus clearly wants revenge. Anyone would save Nightcrawler... (I don't count Ultimate Jean fans). With Nightcrawler saved, Jean's Phoenix arises, so what? Like she is unstoppable.. She could serve as a good boss. With Jean saved, X-Men disband. Well yippee.. X-Men have disbanded more than the Blob changes underwear.
But that's just a little dog's opinion. I'm not hating Jean though.. I hate the Phoenix. I don't love Iceman.. I'm straight... But I like Iceman and his uniqueness.. And I like Psylocke because of her powers. And she also possesses good martial arts skills. That's why I find Jean so boring in the games. (But I do not dislike her!).
I want Psylocke in so much too but I fear she won't be in. Also you forget Jean has telepathy as her beam is a psychic beam in the game. That is why it is mentioned in her bio.
Psylocke is just as messed up as Jean in my opinion. How many changes has she been through? British psychic, Asian ninja with psychic blade, kwannon or betsy?, shadow teleporting crimson warrior, non telepathic telekinetic, dead, resurrected immune to possession telekinetic that can shatter mountains with her power, evil British psychic, and finally telepath/telekinetic Asian. I hope she does make it into the game and they stick with the classic Asian ninja with psychic blade. She is still one of my favorite characters, but damn she is complicated.
Nick Fury had some pretty good unique moves in MUA, I don't think his attacks sucked at all. If he is in I'm sure they can make him better and complete. Iceman is cool, but I rather another X-Man get that spot than a character we have already played with.
I think everyone would rather have Psylocke instead of Fury..
Penance has just been officially confirmed: http://marvel.com/news/comicstories.8847.SDCC_2009~colon~_Marvel~colon~_Ultimate_Alliance_2_Panel?altcast_code=c12ffc3174
I must see a video of him... Now would be nice.
they said that there will be a video of Penance on Gametrailers later on today (:
It was said the last character wont be revealed so Im guessing it will be a character unlocked after playing through the game which last time was Nick Fury.
I think the last character might be Cable... Since in this (http://comic-con.gamespot.com/video/6213946/) video in 00:02 Cable says what you have to do etc.
So he might be unlocked after completing the game or at one point. That's my opinion
You know that's a good one!
I agree... I mean I think the same :)
Cable is like a better and cooler version of Fury...
Quote from: TheStorm on August 15, 2008, 06:28AM
I'm so pissed there's no PC version....
Would that we would have to mod consile versions?
Jean Grey has been said by one of the guys working for MUA2 at Comiccon to be resurrected by collecting some crystals which I read on HeroHQ are the same ones Galactus was using in the first.
I wonder if there will be another collect-to-unlock character, like in the first MUA. I think there won't be more official X-Men character, because there are four, so we can use the "X-Men team bonus".
6 actually. Jean, Gambit, Storm, Wolverine, Juggs, and Deadpool. Yes Deadpool is being counted as an X-Man.
Do you know that for sure? Or did someone tell you that? Wade wasn't counted as an X-Man in MUA1, and only worked with them for a short time
There was a video of Storm, Wolverine, Jean, and Deadpool and everyone said that Deadpool was being carried in their bonus which had to be X-Men.
I don't think the word "everyone" applies here :P Since everyone can start rumors. There could be a "Mutant" bonus though.
Of course, neither Deadpool nor Juggernaut are mutants ;)
Penance vid on Gamespot :)
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/marvelultimateallianceiifusion/video/6214208/marvel-ultimate-alliance-2-penance-vignette?tag=videos;title;1
doubt it. It would overlap with x-men.
Penance trailer is up : http://au.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/marvelultimateallianceiifusion/video/6214208
His fusion with Thor is identical to the one between Storm and Captain America.
I really wish they stuck with the Xtremes - at least then each character would have something unique.
Looks great!

You are absolutely right about this Dihan, maybe it would be a lot funner, but let it have a chance.
True. But X-Tremes and Fusions in one moveset, that would be even better. imo.
I would have liked them sticking with Xtremes too, but XML1/2 style, none of the team xtreme stuff. oh well it makes sense to have these fusion attacks be similar, saves them time in trying to come up with different fusions for every two characters.
I like the fusion idea since FF2 the video game. Even in the comics you often see two characters fusing their powers so I loved the idea in a video game.

The new trailer. You get to see the character selection screen. It looks different. I bet the secret character is Punisher now.
thanks for the link, the character select menu looks good, especially the character details menu. Gambit seems to have "Card Barrage", "Radial Staff", "Explosive Hand", "52 Card Pickup", and "Charged Staff".
So 5 powers guessing last one is a boost.
so theres still two characters that havent been revealed right? and one of those wont be revealed at all right? so when is the other one going to be revealed?
I think there's more powers than those 5 for Gambit... You just can't see them in the video
Quote from: nodoubt_jr on July 28, 2009, 02:51PM

The game comes out in September 15, and they've been revealing one character each month, so I'm guessing they'll reveal it/them in the second half of August. One of those characters is confirmed to be Ms. Marvel, another one is probably Iceman, and it seems there will be another one (the secret one) who won't get to be in the characters section from the official site, but I'm not sure about that.
I doubt Iceman's inclusion. I still hope another female but I bet the secret character is Punisher as he is very hyped aout and on the character selection screen from the video one guy looks like he is holding a rifle.
Didn't associate the fact that there's only 2 spots left in the character selection scree. Then again, there's no shadow for Juggernaut. I'm pretty certain the one next to Iron Man is for Ms. Marvel.
Where can you see a rifle?
Same here and I said it looks like the other guy is holding something which seems to be a rifle. Thus I guess Punisher. Storm and the blurred spot next to her is gone so I think it will be Spider-Woman or Dr. Strange next to Storm.
I would be happy if the secret character is either Emma or Spidey-woman..
Emma Frost would be awesome!

Ummm... A developer has already said that Iceman has a good fusion with the Human Torch.

So weird as nobody on the MUAII forums acknowledges him unlike Ms. Marvel. I still doubt his inclusion.
I don't. Iceman is too important to be left out. Who else is going to put out fires and stuff. Storm only? Nah.
Till now, all Marvel RPG's like XML and MUA had chars of the same type of abilities which could be used to perform an action so the player could procede in a level, otherwise complete the game for 100%. With abilities, I mean flight, teleportation, putting fires out, making bridges... That kind of stuff. Iceman can fulfill 2 of those (actually three, if you count the Ice Slide as flight). The only other person who can put fires out is Storm.
I don't know if they have thought of this though. But it would make sence. Not only because of this, but Iceman is just so popular.
I think we all could live without the putting-out-fires feature, but I agree that Iceman's unique powers (in the Marvel Universe) are reason enough to have him in the game. I disagree on its popularity, there are a lot of characters more popular than him that won't make it in the game, but I agree that waffles are delicious.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.
At this point i think either Iceman or Ms Marvel would be lame reveals. They are just returning characters. I think the last two reveals should be new playable characters.

Agreed -- though I'd like to see them in "day 1" DLC. If they have Downloadable Content the day the game comes out I'll buy both the game and the DLC (canceled my current pre-order as I don't care whether I get Juggernaut).
Marvel has posted a new trailer and video spolights on Juggernaut and Penance
http://marvel.com/news/vgstories.8991.Watch_3_New_Marvel~colon~_Ultimate_Alliance_2_Vids
What about Cable?
His just NPC propbably :-(
God i hope Iceman isnt in, he was terrible in MUA :( i never used him. But apparently, Ms.Marvel is playble? i hope she is C: it would make sence :L
I liked Iceman a bit but only for his costumes and Ice Slide.
I hope that Jack O´lantern will be a skin of green goblin. More Thunderbolts!
Quote from: Unknown on July 29, 2009, 06:19PM

Hey, maybe he will be like Nick Fury in MUA 1 :D That would be great! You know: after you play it throw once, he becomes playable. That would rock, because I like Cable.

Is Nick Fury running around with them?

It's either him or just a SHIELD soldier. Either way it's an NPC.
Yeah defintally not playable. Like Iceman hopefully.

I don't see him as a fan fav. Storm already has hail powers, and I think Iron Man has a freeze beam and I doubt any other X-Men are playable especially as with Juggs and Deadpool being counted as an X-Man. With Ms. Marvel leaked, Punisher most likely being in I doubt he will be in especially as it would have made more sense for him to be one of the first to be revealed. Many believe Nova will be playable. I hope not but he has a good chance although I'm pretty sure VV won't leave 5 females. They know how much females are wanted so they probably will include 6 which means one more. So I'm guessing Spider-Woman, Wasp, Elektra, or Scarlet Witch. Most likely Spider-Woman but who knows.

Well, good point there, but I hope Cable will be the last character. And I guess that Spider-Woman will be the last woman from the officially revealed characters.
Yeah, probably Spiderwoman might be one of those yet-to-be-revealed characters
And I think Cable might have good chances
Quote from: -phoenix- on July 30, 2009, 01:14PM

Yeah, as I said before, he might be like Nick Fury in MUA 1. I just can't wait for that two yet-to-be-revealed characters.
Yeah I can imagine those two.
Ruh Roh. Looks like N-Space (PS2/DS/Wii developer) does have their own engine, which means they would just need assets from Vicarious Visions to make the game (meaning we're screwed with getting PS2 models probably)
http://www.n-space.com/Company_Bio.pdf ---See pg 5
So there will be 24 characters and each system will have exclusive characters. Since Juggernaut is a pre-order exclusive does he count in the original 24?
No hes is a bonus 25th character.
Okay and Iceman is the 23rd character which leaves one spot for the unrevealed character right? I'm kind of upset with the roster so far, 7 (maybe 8 depending on the 24th character) new characters. I think they should have added onto the original roster instead of replacing characters. I do hope the 8th character is a female since I feel MUA2 is lacking girl power imo.
Actually Iceman isn't in. He was simply mentioned by some creator of the game so I don't think that leaks him in like Ms. Marvel. So really two spots. I also think the game needs more girl power.
I thought the guys who worked on the game commented on how he and Human Torch have a really nice fusion. I think that kind of confirms. He could maybe be one of those exclusive system characters.
That is weird as while everyone is hyped from Ms. Marvel's fusion nobody has said anything about Iceman's fusion on the MUAII site. I think that just got made up along the way. I like who Juggs is ane exclusive cause he isn't as popular like Wolverine, Cap, Hulk, Jean, Iron Man so I think other characters like Blade, Moon Knight, and Ghost Rider should be exclusives cause nobody really cares much about them so while they shall be enjoyed not many people will cry that they can't play as them.
I like Moon Knight. In fact, Moon Knight and Iron Fist are the only non-X-Men series that I bother buying.
Yeah but that is only one person. The majority of marvel fans won't really care about him. Most people probably won't even know who he is unless they are hardcore comic fans cause he may have his own book but isn't very popular like Hulk, DD, Spider-Man etc., or if they played MUAI for WII, 360, or PS3. I myself read X-Men, Fantastic Four, and New Avengers.
Could say the same about Songbird. From what I've seen Luke Cage and Daredevil aren't very popular either.
The people on the official site forum characters are the playable characters. Meaning that there are 2 more characters to be revealed!
Quote from: Dihan on July 30, 2009, 04:53PM

To create a Thunderbolts team and she was popular in that. Luke Cage is very popular nowadays which is a main reason why he is in. And DD is actually very popular. There is a reason he had a movie, and is often shown on marvel merchandise.

the movie was sh*t, but it doesnt take away from the fact that he is a classic and popular character.
Im kind of done worrying about who is going to make it into the roster as they have already said DLC is a definete yes, so if they dont make it straight away they may be dlc. But i do love reading about which characters you guys want :)

I've seen loads of people complaining on the official forums that Luke Cage is playable and that Daredevil is playable. You know who else have had movies? Ghost Rider (one of the ones you said wasn't popular) and Howard the Duck.
Luke Cage im pretty sure is still leading the who you wont play as thread.

Agree, I'm one of those people. I don't see them as "popular", I think that both were included just because the plot of the game (DD and Cage are important to the Civil war), like the Cap, and Ironman. With the difference that the Cap and Ironman are really popular.
Both were (for me) totally useless and probably the most dissapointing characters in the first MUA (especially Cage). I don't now about you, but DD and Cage (along Nick Fury) were the first characters that I replaced with mods.
I can think in a lot of characters who could take their places in the new game, like Emma Frost, Moonstone, Hawkeye and Psylocke, who are more popular and has a strong fan base supporting them in the offcial forums.
Iceman is not my favorite, but I can understand why he's one of the final characters: he REALLY has unique powers and has a strong fan base to be considered. And Ms Marvel is really popular and has cool powers.
I think that both are a "pro" to the game. So I won't complain about it.
And for the movies, also Doctor Strange has his own movie.
:emmafrost:
Daredevil will always be included in these games. He's in the border of Marvel's A and B list, that is, he's the last A lister or the first B one. And he's a Stan Lee creation. Frank Miller's run on the book is still considered one of the best writing in comics.
Luke Cage's is really being pushed by Marvel. There's an interview for the first MUA where they say that Marvel insisted on having him in the game (which I'm guessing explains why he's got Powerman icons, I believe they weren't aware of his newest look).
Guh, Daredevil?! He wasn't awful in MUA1, but there would be so many other characters I'd like to see. I even liked DD's comic book mission, it was so different and character-wise. (At least with the fact that there was all dark in it)
Still I'd rather see someone like Iceman or Nightcrawler instead of Daredevil.
First of all: count me in for Moon Knight, because I like him too. Luke is just cool. Many Marvel character has it's own movie, which s*cks. And I would rather see Iceman or Nightcrawler playable instead of Daredevil too.
Moon Knight should be DLC, simply for the fact that I would pay extra money for him. Give me a character I like so-so rather than give me so-so characters as DLC, otherwise you don't get my DLC money.
Well Cage has been a leading guy of Marvel nowadays like Ms. Marvel. Both were not that popular back in the 70s. I think Ghost Rider was popular in the 70s-90s but his popularity downed in the 2000s. I find no needs for Moon Knight or Nightcrawler cause of Gambit and Deadpool. Others may differ with that but that is my opinion. I love the roster right now cause you need Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Spidey, Wolverine, FF, Storm, and DD cause they always have been a big part of marvel. Cage cause he is a leading guy of Marvel nowadays and then Venom and Goblin cause they are part of the Thunderbolts and already very popular and well-liked villains so they made sense. Songbird cause we need the female Thunderbolt, the good Thunderbolt, and she is very unique and so many people have already really wanted to play as her on the MUAII forums. Iron Fist cause he is a little more popular than when MUAI came out and VV guessed that Cage would be liked more if his old partner was back. Deadpool cause he is so popular with a huge fanbase plus you get a teleporter, a gun character, plus with swords. Gambit is very popular and has another huge fanbase and his role in Wolverne Origins the Movie really helped him. Then Jean is one of the heart and soul of the X-Men, has a huge fanbase, very unique with psychic and fiery powers and she was said to be the most asked for and wanted character and she was said to be ironically a character who would have been in the game from the beginning no matter what. Ms. Marvel is very popular right now and is one of Marvel's leading ladies while Penance had a huge role in Civil War and completes the Thunderbolts. I love how Juggs is an exclusive cause he is kind of obscure so many people won't care he is an exclusive for a console they don't have. Many people said he should have been replaced by Psylocke but I disagree as she is very wanted and that wouldn't be good for her to be an exclusive. I hope other exclusives include Moon Knight, Blade, Ghost Rider, etc.
I think Deadpool and Nightcrawler are not the same. Oh no they aren't. Deadpool is more of a shooter and Nightcrawler works with swords. I know that Deadpool has swords too though. AND Deadpool is a merc with a mouth, while Nightcrawler is calm, religious german.
Also the same with Moon Knight and Gambit, Gambit has all those card throw things. And Moon knight, well I'm not very familiar with that character but regarding from him in MUA he works more with staff.
Tbh when I bought MUA I did not know who Luke Cage was. I did know who Iron Fist was...
@ TC: I saw it coming.
I didn't know Cage, Spider-Woman, Elektra, DD, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Blade, Iron Fist or anyone. I only knew like the FF (including Silver Surfer and Black Panther), X-Men, and classic Avengers.
Moon Knight is more like Batman than Gambit. The only similarity between Moon Knight and Gambit is they both throw an object and they have a quarterstaff.
Moon Knight is a pimp. That's all there is to it. Honestly I hadn't heard of him prior to playing MUA, but I loved how he played and really love his character in general now.
yeah, you are right.
I knew who everyone was except Moon Knight and Ronin (Echo). I liked all the other characters included, i loved that it was full of classic characters. I was hoping the second game would have some of the newer characters and some more new playable characters.
Dunno if anyone follows Twitter, but Vicarious Visions' creative director has an account set up where he answers questions and whatnot.

For instance:
QuoteFrom Twitter
@Hurricane42 Re: Jean Grey. You can essentially "resurrect" her by collecting M'Kraan crystal fragments in MUA2.
@spiderdude85 Spider-Man has many moves, but he won't stick to walls. That's one concession we had to make to support 24 heroes.
@Johnaazzopardi Juggernaut will be available at launch if you pre-order through Gamestop. Other DLC will appear later.
@tevyrich Boosts are won during the game; they boost various hero stats. They serve a similar role to equipment in the previous game.
@shadowbeam_ VV did not develop the Wii version this time around. From what I've seen of the Wii, it is a bit different.
Another gem from Twitter:
Quote@chosenone123 24 is the number of characters on disc, including unlockables. DLC, naturally, will increase that number.
@Johnaazzopardi The 24 "out of the box" characters do not include Juggernaut or DLC. There will be unlockables though.
We know Juggy is available via a DLC code when you buy the game, so it's 100% fact he doesn't count towards the 24.
And some others:

That sucks, i was hoping that they did have a pc version planned, oh well i guess i wont be playing it :(
maybe they will decide to make one later on, they did the same thing with mua 1 for 360
I have a strong feeling they won't. Well DS and PS2 are like 129.99 dollars. Kind of cheap.
How can they not make a PC Version? It's like never read a comic before, HOW!?
im just disapointed that the UK will have to wait 10 hole days before the game comes out ¬¬ it is supose to be realed on the 25th ¬¬ boooooooo!

Back to topic: How trustworthy is this information provided by Phillip in the "Leaked Roster" topic? http://www.examiner.com/x-7946-SF-Console-Game-Examiner~y2009m6d10-E3-Marvel-Ultimate-Alliance-2-promises-War
That site mentions Iceman as a playable character, but so far it's the only one I've seen to do so.
and it got chewed out on the comments for saying iceman
As I have said before the Official website contains all the playable characters. So if Iceman isn't there we won't be playing as Iceman is it hard to find out? And I don't think that Phillip in the "Leaked Roster" topic accutely knows I think his lying to us.
Leaks happen all the time. Like the playables in Super Smash Bros Brawl were leaked and loads of people denounced it because it had Toon Link, Wolf and ROB on it. The official site didn't have them but they were eventually revealed.
The leaked list for MUA2 included Jean, Gambit and Penance who were later revealed. The official website still has two unrevealed character boxes (and one that'll never be revealed) so stop being a complete idiot by saying who's currently revealed is all that we're getting. You may as well have said that as Jean wasn't on there at the beginning she won't be playable - yet 'lo and behold she is!
What if, what if he know this stuff from inside the project? What if they had Iceman planned but scrapped him for some-one else, some-one alot more renowed then Iceman? Like Magneto, or Polaris? Questions is all that we can say, isn't it? We don't know until we play it our selves do we?
Unknown, I cant be lying since it is not my list :P That is why I have put all the info we had for those characters, so people can judge by themselves.
Leaks happen, and some time intentionally, to increase the hype of the game.
What I noticed is that the reveals happened the same way they were on the list! (first Gambit, the Jean after that Penance) So If Iceman is revealed next then I should go cry in a corner cause we lost a slot to Nick :(
And the list leaked late June/early July, it was too late to make roster changes!Unless they had gameplay problems e.g Angel in XML1
Who knows and you're probably not lying but I just don't think that Iceman will be in the game cause he was extremely bad in MUA and the only time I used him was for the achievements unlocking all costumes and doing his simulator for silvers. Unless he'll be like Silvers like in the last game. Or they just seem to can't create him better, but since his been in XML1, XML2 and MUA and alot of the fans love him they'll put him in. All they need to do is make him better, alot!
He wasnt that Bad in MUA1, but he wasnt THAT good as he was in XML2.If he is in, he is for his unique powers! I dont think the developers would leave him out, considering the many unique fusions he can make...
Anyway, it is August already and we ll have our 2 reveals in these 4 weeks, so we ll wait and see...
If Iceman's in it he better be good. And who do you think that the other person will be?
May I refer you folks back to the title of this thread?
OFFICIAL News from MUA2 Thread
Rumors, leaked lists, etc need to go elsewhere or I'll start deleting posts.
Anyway characters have been revealed to have no alternate character skins so for example: no Beta Ray Bill skin for Thor.
Really? Well, this is interesting news. I'm sort of happy, because I never liked Beta Ray Bill.
Yeah so like no War Machine for Iron Man, no Modern Cap/Bucky for Cap, or Rachel or Maddie for Jean.
Believe me, we can live without them. I can just hope, that every character will have a minimum of 3 skins.
I was hoping 6 skins in total but I doubt it now. I even doubt 5. Most likely only four.

Where did you hear that? I heard the opposite. That
most characters won't have actual alternate identities -- but they never said there flat-out won't be any.
From Dan Tanguay's Twitter account:
Quote@Johnaazzopardi We tried to pick the best costume without recreating new anims, special FX, and VO. So most alts are not new chars.
Oh then never mind so most likely characters with few costumes like Thor and Cap will have them but characters like Jean and Iron Man who have had many multiple costumes won't have alternate skins.
in the gameplay demo, it says:
"Defeat XXX amount of enemies (I cant remember how many) to unlock a new costume for Jean Grey" or something along those lines.. so Jean should have an alternate costume, as should Juggernaut (I saw it for him as well)
Of course they have, as well as the DLC's will have too.

By alternate we mean some other person who has similar powers. Alternate in that vidfeo means any costume. We were saying how similar characters won't be an alternate skin for another character. Like in MUA Spider-Woman has many alternate costumes. However one of those alternate costumes is an alternate character who is Julia Carpenter.
ahh sorry :(
I should have read the forum properly XD
but thankyou for clearing that up :)

300 enemies :)
Thats alot but I'll be using Jean so much that it won't really be a problem.
Well yeah, it's easy to unlock other skins.
So who will the other skins be? Jean Grey would be Phoenix or Marvel Girl (60's) and Juggernaut would be...?

OFFICIAL News from MUA2 Thread
There's a Jean Grey thread just for those questions. Let's not clutter up this thread with questions and speculation.
Yeh your right so any new news?
Nope. Besides news that every console will have exclusives.
Oh... yeh!
I thought they "listened to fans"? If they really did then they'd hear screams of despair at the very mention of "console exclusives".
The Wii is meant to have exclusive levels aswell (Said by NewsLad).
dont know if youve seen this or not but here...
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/sdcc-09-marvel-ultimate/53733
some of it has been said already, but i thought you might want to see :)
Also, a new chatacter (ms.marvel :) ) is going to be revealed next week!! :warbird:
How do you know next week?
Quote from: marvelfan12345 on August 05, 2009, 08:22AM
How do you know next week?
cos they said on the MUA2 website ¬¬
Oh that is great news
Not that I'm saying you're lying, but where did they say that? I couldn't find it.
Anybody a VIP member? There is some news in VIP I believe so can anyone find it and post it here?
Yeah, the VIP news is the character reavel, ill try and find the topic again :S
oh, found it :L
http://www.herohq.com/forums/viewthread/10471/
The clue for VIP on who the next character reveal is this.
"This character was born without powers".
So defintally Ms. Marvel.
Could it possibly be Iceman? (if he is going to be playable) because Mutants arent technically born with powers. They normally manifest around puberty dont they? I mean it probably is Ms Marvel just sorta throwing this out there XD
It could be nearly any character in the Marvel Universe. Except Multiple-Man, possibly those who don't have powers anyway, or those that aren't human origin.
Yes.. I was just thinking in terms of the "leaks" that have been happening lately.
Its Ms Marvel... got this from Wiki...
The non-powered Carol Danvers debuted as a member of the US Air Force in Marvel Super-Heroes #13 (1968) and as Ms. Marvel — a fusion of alien Kree and human genes — in Ms. Marvel #1 (1977).
But its cant be Iceman, becos technically he is born with this powers, they just havnt been Unlocked yet.
In every other forum, there are big discussions about whether mutants are born with or without powers, as some of them develop powers when they're older.
Mutants are all born with the X-Gene so they have latent powers (in most cases). Whether having powers that are latent qualifies them for being born with powers or not remains to be seen.
I'd personally say it doesn't.
I don't see how it could be a mutant, even barring when they have their powers. They wouldn't waste another slot when they can round it out with so many non-mutants.
I know we have Jean, Storm, Wolverine, Gambit, Juggs, and Deadpool. I don't expect any more mutants till DLC.
Juggernaut and Deadpool aren't mutants, though.
Oh yeah. Well isn't Deadpool. But Juggs is counted as an X-Man and they kinda confirmed that Deadpool is too.
Juggernaut has spent more time as a villain than a member of the X-Men, to be honest. Deadpool is just a mercenary who has links to Cable. Deadpool was just an ordinary mercenary who entered the Weapon X program because he had cancer and figured he had nothing to lose.

Accutely he made a deal with Weapon X that they will cure his incurible cancer. After the thing he has to take syrines that heal heal his scarred face, which is why he wears a mask.
Well we know that Juggernaut will most likely be DLC for those who didn't pre-order.
Probably, and they'll but some-one from the last game e.g: Luke Cage, Magneto, Docter Doom (DLC) and Nightcrawler.
Assuming the last two are Spider-Woman and PUnisher.
Marvel Women - Emma Frost, Elektra, Black Cat, Wasp
X-Men - Cyclops, Psylocke, Angel, Rogue
Avengers - Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Dr. Strange, Quicksilver
Fantastic Four Allies - She-Hulk, Silver Surfer, Black Panther, Namor
Thunderbolts - Moonstone, Bullseye, Baron Zemo, Radioactive Man
Now before I am scolded for not putting official news Hulk and Thor will also have to be unlocked with artifacts like Jean.
Will they look like Black Panter and Daredevil dolls, a model of their charge?
Have no idea. All I know is for Jean's artifact will be a shard of the M'Kraan Crystal.
Would there be 5 shards like in the last game: 5 dolls and you unlock the character, play the game again and collect five dolls you unlock the characters simulator disc?
Have no idea. Anyway new trailer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1L3s9jf17A
It seems Jean's projectile is really her basic tk. She sucks them in and then slams them away from her. Awesome! So happy Storm has chain lightning again but now it looks way better and more realistic than in MUA.
That sounds really cool!
So no new characters since last week. I hope they will reveal them shortly now (or what).
Ms. Marvel is close to be revealed. Anyway VV has started making DLC. So at least some DLC characters have been decided. Also they confirmed Kitty Pryde as to hard to make but if she is clamored enough for then they will make her DLC by attempting to make her phasing work in the game. Not sure how though. I hope she makes it in. She deserves too after three whole games.
Well yeah, but that phasing power will be hard, if they would make her go through every wall.
I think some walls won't let her go through like Nightcrawler can't teleport through everything.
Yeah, but maybe they won't make her. I mean, she is not a big fun to play with and they will make other characters, who has more fans. Plus, she is dead, no?
Yes, but many marvel characters have been dead. That doesn't really show much. And yes she is fun. I would play with her and I love her XMLII and MUA mods. And she has been pretty wanted. Most clamored characters are in. She has been in the list for top DLC Women.
Really? Well, I don't know about these lists, so sorry. If you ask me, I would rather play with Polaris.
I would love her too. I think Magneto needs a break. Polaris and Kitty are some of my fav X-Women. My top 10.
1. Jean Grey
2. Psylocke
3. Kitty Pryde
4. Rogue
5. Storm
6. Polaris
7. Marvel Girl
8. Dazzler
9. Emma Frost
10. Jubilee
However Magma, Mirage, Blink, and Husk are close behind.
I like Psylocke, Rogue, Storm too (and as I said, Polaris too). I never really hated Jean, but I'm not a big fan of hers.
Jeans pretty cool.
A couple of small announcements: Juggernaut is not in the Wii nor PS2 versions. It's only downloadable for PS3 and Xbox360, and it's supposedly not in the disc (though I'm guessing it's like Colossus and Moon Knight in MUA1, that were in the disc for all versions, yet not playable in some of them).
Still only small tidbits about other versions: follows the same storyline, but both n-Space and Savage Entertainment had freedom to do whatever they felt like doing.
As for Shadowcat: They've said the hard thing to do is create levels around phasing, not actually coding it. Given that, here's how I'd do it: Instead of it being a boost, make it an attack.
If you use it facing an enemy, phase through him and attack him from behind. If used away from an enemy and a wall, it's 1-3 seconds of invulnerability. If used facing a wall, phase through the wall. In the early levels of the power, only a few walls can be phased through, and have her say something about her inability to cross through the unphasable walls, same way all characters say something when trying to walk through an invisible wall in MUA.
Nice idea.
Yeah.
Do u guys know tht the new character will be revealed on thursady 13th?
The clues were 1.this characters wasnt born with powers 2.they never wash their costume
and there more. if your a VIP u can ge the 1st heads up on costumes and 360 screens :) you lucky VIPs
Maybe Namor? He lives in the ocean, so no need to wash his costume... Was he born with powers?
I please post costume news. Anyway I think Ms. Marvel as she uses her powers to change into her costume. I think the washing is a clue to Namor perhaps.
Quote from: piutebob on August 12, 2009, 07:04PM

Yeah, Namor is a mutant, plus he has natural Atlantian abilities too.
Well, its speculated hes a mutant anyway, dont think its ever been officially confirmed.
Like apocalypse, but apocalypse wasn't born with his powers, he had gained them.
Actually I think Namor has had powers since birth. Namor has a chance but I think it is Ms. Marvel. They wouldn't make her the secret character. Wait I am suspicious of Iceman. His costume would be clean due to the ice.
Some-one who would have to wash their costume? They's: Iceman, Namor, wait are we talking about all the skins or just the first one?
Also while I'm posting and getting off topic does any-one have the original x-men theme song?
You mean the one from the '90s animated series? If that's the case, here's an useful link: http://tinyurl.com/ncezk6
Since the character will be revealed tomorrow, I won't speculate about the clues.
Thanks, but my computer want let me go to tinyurl or box.net, so if you or some-one-else could please put it on mediashare or Rapidshare.com, that would be much apprectated.
Well, I think Namor or Iceman (I hope someone else).
It's Iceman. Fans who don't know Namor well would assume he needs water to use his powers, which won't always be around in-game. I know he doesn't, but I don't think your average not-really-into-comics fan out. Iceman is obvious -- he makes ice :D
Everyones saying Ms.Marvel or Nova ... i hope its not Iceman
I wish i could say Sasquatch or Toxin, they fit the clues perfectly.
Nova would be good, but if Iceman, than I just hope, his voice will be the same like in MUA 1.
Quote from: Wade Wilson on August 13, 2009, 07:17AM
Nova would be good, but if Iceman, than I just hope, his voice will be the same like in MUA 1.
i was hoping the same thing about Deadpool, the voice actor for MUA1 was probably the best voice for Deadpool ive heard. He sounded terrible in Hulk Vs. Wolverine.
Well, not that terrible, but John Kassir is better.
I think Ms. Marvel or Iceman.
Nah, his voice was too... normal i guess. In Cable & Deadpool, Cable can be quoted saying that his voice has "a gravelly, Demi Moore quality". And accoding to his friend Blind Al, she says that his voice sounds like a distinct mixture of "gasoline and gravel". Hence the reason why his speech bubbles are yellow and the font appears slightly mangled. His voice is meant to be different, odd, and extremely annoying. I dont think anyone has nailed the voice perfectly, and i doubt they ever will. But the voice actor on MUA1 is probably the best ive heard so far.
Sorry for getting carried away :D lol
No problem I think.
I really don't want Iceman mainly because if he is in then Fury has a chance of being in and then Psylocke and Cyke who are two of my favs will be WII exclusives. I can always get it on PS2 then as only thing I miss out on is Juggs and better graphics.
Well, Cyke might be in, because of the Double Date team bonus, if there will be this bonus.
I'm guessing Punisher and Cyclops. I'm so mad that we will only have 5 females again!
relax, I think they will make a female DLC pack. I mean, that would be good, because there are more great female superheroines (sorry if my English is bad).
Yes honestly I think these are the only females with a chance though. Also your english isn't bad.
Emma Frost
Black Cat
Spider-Woman
Shadowcat (I'm iffy on her. If she gets enough support)
Rogue
Psylocke
She-Hulk
Scarlet Witch
Black Widow
Dagger
And maybe Dazzler, Firestar, and Polaris.
Those are great heroines. I hope some of them will be DLC :)
Hopefully. One of the most demanded things was more females so I'm a little shocked we only have 5 again in the inital roster.

Altereante Costume for HUlk
http://www.flickr.com/photos/41436967@N07/3817551819/
Hey that is cool. So we know one alternate costume.
The Red Hulk? Wow, he looks sweet. Hulk will always be on my team with this skin :D
Was this shown for VIP?
yes, and aparently there showing Alt Costumes every week end till launch XD
Cool!
I can't want to see Thor's, Gambit's, Wolvie's, Jean's, Storm's, Iron Man's, and Sue's.
I can't wait to see Wolverine's, Gambit's, Deadpool's, Iron Fist's, Iron Man's :)
Actually I heard they said that a costume will be shown every weekday. That means one tommorrow too!
That would be awesome! :D
and the waiting continues for the new characters ...
yes
Its weird that we haven't got much posts for this alternate costume yet.
Yeah, you're right.
Is Red Hulk even that popular?
I don't know, but I like him.
To Hulk fans yes.
I saw the comic con trailer again, and noticed 2 empty spots, one is Icy blue like Original iceman, the other one is flying.
Maybe Iceman and Doctor Strange or Nova or Ms Marvel :D
I'd say Iceman (please let it be him), but for the flying persona, I don't see a cape of some sort. He's also blurred and hasn't been unlocked or something.
I think Ms. Marvel is flying. Some spots like Storm's are weirdly dissapeared so I think she has one flying one next to her like before. This is hopefully Spider-Woman or Dr. Strange. The blue figure looks like he is holding something like maybe a rifle so I think it is Punisher.

Than Iceman and Nova/Ms Marvel, I hope :D I still wonder, about Stan Lee. How will he be in the game?
Cameo as a senator. Don't remember where I read that, though.
Really? Cool! It will be as cool, like in Spectacular Spider-Man episode 14 :D
So apparently Red Hulk is the first alternate costume that's been revealed. It was on Wikipedia with a reference to the VIP site, but since that isn't public I had to remove it.
Someone posted this one on gamefaqs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41436967@N07/3817551819/
i posted that ages ago, but its cool
Ms Marvel confiremd XD yeeeeeeees!
http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/14233937/marvel-ultimate-alliance-2/videos/mua2_trl_msmarvel_vignette_81309.html
Yay! It's not Nova!
Now it's even more likely that Iceman will be the next reveal. :D
so is there gunna be one more reveal then one unanounced?
If she was as lame a character in MUA 1, I'm sure that we can count on much of the same. At least Nova would have been a new character to the game.
MUA1 is not MUA2. Just look at who was good or bad in XML1 compared to XML2.
i like the way her powers look, and her fusion w/ storm is cool
It's not like we all didn't see her coming. But I'm very happy. Is it just me or do the recurring females (Jean, Ms. Marvel, Storm) look way better than before. Their hair looks great and actually fits them. I hate Sue's hair as I prefered her MUAI 360 and PC hair.

Re: Alt Costumes. Each hero will have one alt costume on disc. We wanted more but they are very expensive to make.
Boooooo. Translation: "Activision wanted to make easy DLC money, so alternate costumes will cost extra".
Watch, they'll do that.
Only one extra! That is so rubbish. I was hoping 2-3 more at the most. So we know all of Hulk's.
I'm betting the FF have their 80s costumes, Ms. Marvel has her original, and Wolvie his 80s. Jean needs her New X-Men costume as I refuse to only have one other costume for her that is technically the same but a different color.
Wow...that's just...I don't know. Nickel and dime-ing us for the costumes seems a little wrong.
Arm and leg-ing you mean... :P
Im happy about Ms Marvel :)
That sucks that only one alternate custome will be available.
I don't think Iceman will be in. I mean since when has he been as hyped about as Deadpool, Ms. Marvel, Jean Grey etc. He isn't second-to-last character to be revealed material. I think Punisher will be the secret character as he is very hyped about. I mean they announced that he would have been in MUA1 had it not been the fact that his rights were somewhere else.
Ms. Marvel profile is up. She is not locked thank-god.
I so wanted everyone else, but Ms Marvel. This MUA 2 will be a fail. I mean, they are doing everything for money, not for a great gameplay. If you want to play in fully, not just buy it, but pay a lot of money for it too. I so hate this type of game making!

Red Hulk pics second post from the bottom
And this is why DLC has kind of ruined gaming.
If DLC didn't exist then they would have tried their utmost to have as many characters and costumes as possible.
I wouldn't put it past them to included Power Boosters where every character gets one new power!
I wish MUA 2 would be like MUA 1 :(

Completly agree, i remember back in the day, when they wanted to add stuff to the game, theyd release an expansion pack. But that was for the occasional game, not nearly every single one like DLC.
To be fair games now costs astronomically more to make than they used to, and piracy is much more rampant, meaning they don't get as much return on their money. Since DLC is tons harder to pirate, that's guaranteed money, even if someone pirated the game.
Don't forget the crisis that's going on. But it also makes customers buy less games and all that. Unless ofcourse, they are unaffected (by means of high income or so). But let me not turn this topic into a money crisis topic :P
I can't believe that after 2 years we get only 24 characters which is one higher than before (unless you count MUAI next gen characters and MUAII Pre-Order Exclusive then the roster doesn't change at all), 4 powers each character, 2 skins for each character. And apperently said by some moderator on the forums we get 12 simular discs and 10 hours of gameplay. And both have been confirmed so it isn't false. Just like that mod said the only good things are the graphics and the roster. The costume reveal today better be good!!!
Here's the difference: MUA1 was not next-gen. It was PS2/Xbox generation with a shiny coat of paint. MUA2 was rebuilt from the ground up, using the newest version of their engine. The characters lips sync to dialogue, each individual bone is animated (including each finger bone), they recorded tons more VO this time around, it's a new developer (so no being able to reuse stuff), they implemented Havok physics, the engine is truly next-gen, and they're currently working on tons of other projects too.
You're right. We're getting screwed over!!$#^&!%#!&@^!!
You know what, grow up and be thankful for what you get. I'm tired of everyone's attitude around here.
New costume up. It's DDs. I may actually play as him more cause I really like this costume. He wore it during Secret War so it is fitting it is in the game.
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z8/darnor/DDAlt1.jpg
I really like the new costume for DD :]
Cool skin :D
Oooh, I like that one!
looks good, now i really want to see everyones else (especially Jean's and Storm's)
For anyone that doesnt have VIP and wants to know what the Alt costumes are when they are released, visit this thread from HeroHQ : http://www.herohq.com/forums/viewthread/11256/
On Facebook tons of people are saying Iceman will be in, howevah, I am not so sure how reliable that would be.
Well at this point, everything is possible, look the cases of Ms. Marvel, Penance, or Gambit, we already knew that they were in, before they were "officially" announced.
:emmafrost:
Twue, twue.
So, maybe Iceman will be in.
Or are we just highly intellegent beings to know such stuff? :P
Well, considering I forgot how to spell "true", I am not so sure how highly intellegent we are... :)
I'm almost sure that Iceman is in.
And considering all the characters that were leaked at the end, I can say that, at least, we are more intelligent that those people that was suposed to keep the secret until the offcicial announcement of each character.
:emmafrost:
Haha
I just find it weird for Iceman to be confirmed as the second-to-last character. He isn't that type of character material.
Then I hope that he is reveiled as the last character :P :P
That is the special character. He wouldn't defintally be the last. I think that slot is for Punisher as I think the special character will be new.
Anyone seen the alternate costume for Wolverine. I really hate it.
No I haven't, but I'd like to see it. Have a link?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/41436967@N07/3830973410/
In my opinion it looks horrible. It is his Secret War costume. I'm really mad at the guy who made this skin as it really isn't good.
It doesn't look so horrible, It's OK to me.
:emmafrost:
I still really don't like it. I would have been ok if there were more than 2 costumes.
I like it actually. And I'm throwing that one in my skin/mesh list :P
EDIT: And the daredevil one too :P And perhaps all the alternate skins :P
I really like it :D
Looks great
Thanks for the link
The costume isn't that bad but I really hate how he got this instead of others. I was hoping for 80s or maybe even X-Force. Characters seem to have costumes that they wore for a very short time.
I think they are sticking to a theme.
I think Cap, Spidey and Cage will get Secret War costumes. Maybe Spidey gets Iron Spidey. Jean will have Marvel Girl, 90s, or New X-Men. Thor his modern, and the FF either 80s or solo costumes (Torch-Retro, Sue-Malice, Reed-Labcoat, Ben-Street).
I agree with BLaw, I like it and would love to see an MUA1 version.
I like it, i would have preferred a classic one, but its a cool alternative.
Man, that Wolvy costume is awesome! So far they've hit three home runs with these alternate costumes. I'm glad they're giving us something new instead of the old 'staple' costumes.
For me it was two home runs. I would have prefered X-Force. I'm a little suprised we got Hulk and Wolvie in the beginning. I can't wait to see the FF's costumes. Hopefully they each have a individual costume.
Hey I found this cool thread. I agree with it for the most part.
http://www.herohq.com/forums/viewthread/8363/
I like the costume, too. It looks... Well, good on him.
I'm not a fan of unmasked Wolverine, but I like it better than the half mask from the first costume. It's still a pretty skin, but I'm a bigger fan of the Astonishing, Classic and '80s costumes.
YES,YES,YEAH!!!I on the other hand am a big fan of wolverine without a mask being my top favorites(of his costumes)-
1.movie
2.new x-men
3.ultimate
So for me its a dream come true.Anyway for the masked fans you have astonishing and the unmasked fans will have ultimate.Thats more than fair for me.
It isn't ultimate it is Secret War.
Wow didnt knew he had such an awesome costume in Secret War.
Mr. Fantastic alternative costume:

Wow... bad place to take an in-game shot. I seriously thought the suit had orange/brown tones to it until I saw the concept art. Not really impressed with this one, but it may be just the lighting that bothers me.
It's his Ultimate costume right?
I like it! I prefer his Ultimate version than the mainstream one. I don't know why :P
:emmafrost:
me to actualy
I love it except for the glases.
i dont really like it, but i do like that he has glasses on.
He looks like his geeky self from the Ultimate universe. So no suprise that he looks younger.
I'd love to use him and get my glasses broken by some random enemy. In other words: I like the suit :P
lol yeah going into combar with glasses doesnt really make sense, but hey imo it looks good.
would speculating on alternate costumes belong in a different thread?

yes, this thread is for official news
I dont like the skin, I want to see a variety of skins not just like MUA1 were all of the fantastic four's skins were pratically all the same.
So far Hulk and Daredevil's have been pretty good and the others have been alright.
wow the ultimate costumes really look like the actual version here unlike for some in mua where it has the costume but the face looks the same. PS:the f4 ultimate's costume in my opinion is better than the mainstream one except for thing his better off with shorts or pants or a trenchcoat with a hat.
I agree with a few others, the glasses look a little odd. But not bad, not bad.
Just saw this image on herohq, the link venom provided on page 51:
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp20/SR2IMAGES/SecretWar.jpg
Omg wolvys costume loocks exactly like the ultimate one :runaway: .Im knda confused LOL :laugh:
Not really, but there are only minor differences. All I can see on the image I posted where black costumes.
hey guys look what i found on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXq1kPe4NbA&feature=related
Now we know how they are unlocked: beat 300 enemies.
That is a very old video that was posted before here and in the Jean Grey thread. We already knew we needed to defeat 300 enemies. I remember one video showing that Thor got one costume from defeating 10 enemies.
Once again, thanks to the people from the gamespot/gamefaqs forums, here's Iron Fist

Iron Fist alternate is very detailed, its nice.
It's nice, but is it me or does he have little legs?
Moi Pequito.
(a little bit)
It's ok, but I'd have prefered something that's actually a costume he's used before. But very nice looking nonetheless.
Seems people either really like it, or are somewhat familiar with Iron Fist :D
Me, personally, would've liked one with the classic bandana and some dragon tatoo better.
Quote from: piutebob on August 19, 2009, 11:42AM

Is that supposed to be Spanish?
It's nice but it looks weird for some reason.
I would have preferred his Classic costume, but as an Iron Fist fan I recognise it as the Iron Fist known as Bei Bang-Wen (http://marvel.com/universe/Iron_Fist_(Bei_Bang-Wen)).
Cool. But still he has shorter legs :P
I think Spidey & Cap will get Secret War suits. It would make a bonus along with Wolverine and Daredevil. Anyway, I think this Ironfist will rocksorsyourboxors. Would love to see that skin in MUA1 :P
Quote from: Teancum on August 19, 2009, 11:33AM

well,neither juggernaut wheared a costume with such a design(the mua2 one)
I'm enjoying all the costumes except Wolverine's but I'll get over it. I think Spider-Man will have Secret War or Iron Spider. Cap will have Secret War, and the FF have their ultimates. Thor with modern, Jean with New X-Men. I am unsure about everyone else.
I dunno, this Iron Fist costume just doesn't do it for me. To be honest I'm getting less and less excited about this game.
I'm getting excited about the costumes! (So I get ideas for skinning :P:P:P) Don't mind what I say about the brackets. (Or meshing hehe)
I'll play it on the wii. If it sucks, I'll be the first one to let you all know. Unless someone beats me to it :P

yeah.
I'm really liking how Jean looks in that video, it looks like they're finally giving her decent offensive moves. Not too crazy about some of those costumes, I prefer the "old staples" but that's just me. On a side note, I hate the Civil War story arc to death, and it made me hate Iron Man even more than I already did before. That will probably taint my experience with this game because I'm already not too excited about it to begin with. I just hope it's a good game at least.
I am disappointed at the lack of Rogue in MUA 2, she's easily my favorite x-man and I would have liked to see her in MUA. Gambit is cool, but I would've preferred Rogue... both of them would've been super fantastic. I guess here's to hoping for X-Men Legends III? I wonder if they're even going to make another XML game or if they just dropped it all together and will keep going with MUA from here on out? Would definitely like a next-gen XML for the PC to mod. Favorite characters + eye candy = :D
EDIT: wtf this game isn't going to be for pc? Why do people stop making games for PCs now? I don't get it. I think PC is the best platform to play on. It's nice that I can take my Alienware anywhere I want to and play a game any time I want. Only having it for a console sucks. I don't understand why PC games are being less and less common.
Well big TC explained why several times in this thread. I think. Yeah. Or maybe not.
Well, if it's ever going to be ported, I wish some really uber guy finds out what tools are needed to mod the thing. I don't mean the Thing, but the game. Noo not the rapper, but MUA2.
And my fav characters are the X-Men, so I'm with ^^^^.
I'm happy with the roster and the costumes seem ok so far. I do fear the last two characters as I am mostly dissapointed with lack of females. In my current roster I have 13 females and 14 males. I just hope we get Spider-Woman as she seems to be the only female who has a chance left.
Even though it'll probably be her, I'd take just about any other female in her place. I just don't like that character.
No chance for Elektra due to bad reviews. Scarlet Witch doesn't have a chance as if they include a magic character it would be Strange. I doubt they would give us another X-Woman. She-Hulk, Black Widow, Dagger, and Firestar are NPCs so like I said only Spider-Woman has a chance.

Ok, that's the first of the alternate costumes that I didn't like. She looks like a hippie or something.
I like the costume, I don't like her hair :)
:emmafrost:
Its her Screaming Mimi custome, its ugly but its better than her other SM custome http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/File:Screaming_Mimi_001.jpg. Either way i dont really like it.
edit: oops http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Melissa_Gold_(Earth-616)/Gallery has that custome labeled as Screaming Mimi, but looking at the hair she probably wore this as Songbird. Still imo its ugly.

And ontopic: What an awfull sight. I still don't know who songbird is, and after seeying this costume, I really really REALLY really don't care. Fail +1 Epic - 10, like they say nowadays or so.
It's her street costume she wore during Thunderbolts. I like it. So out of all skins I only hate one so far

Songbird's hair for the alternate costume is hideous.

Yeah they are cool expecialy wolvy and luke

That whole head looks horrible, they should have stuck to the previous one, the hair seems wrong for modern Human Torch.
If I'm right, this is his Ultimate costume.
So it appears that the F4 will have their Ultimate Costumes as alternates at the end.
:emmafrost:
His hair should be up or shorter.

@ Gevth: hehe, well he must be as old as the guy who plays RON in harry potter. They are both that slim, only difference is the blonde hair and the physique :P
I hate the PS2 Iw skins as I like the long hair for Sue. Never seen the Johnny ps2 skins.

I dont like her PC skins because of the long hair and the face just looks off, IW should be better looking than that. You can see a picture of ps2 Human Torch Ultimate skin here http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=950.0. If anyone wants me to upload them for you guys i can.
But anyways lets get back on topic.
This is ontopic: I hope the MUA2 models have the faces corrected. But according to the pictures, they have. MUA1 models have a black line at the chin. With AdvL OFF they have it. Advanced Lighting covers it a bit, but it's still visible.
But gee, how are they going to cover Ron's face :P
Luckily the camera will probably almost always be facing the back of his head. :P
LET'S HOPE SO! I mean come on, why do we need a Ron in the game up close when we can see his face next year? :P
I wonder which costume of whom they will show monday... Hermione Storm or Sue Granger ? Or perhaps Benjamin Snape? :P (my gf loves the books so that's why I know the names :P )

These are the concept sketches, so there's still a chance it'll look better from a different angle (and not only from behind)
The sketches do make it look better, the hair looks alright there.
Yeah. He now looks more like the guy who played Harry Osborn in the Spider-Man series.

The link works for me.
The Thing will look like Hagrid. Period.
Which reminds me, Reeds is wearing the glasses, so the Harry Potter on Fantastic Four theme fits.
To be serious, I hope they reveal a non-FF related char's suit first. We all know how the UFF suit looks.
it works now sorry about that it was just the internet
I think we will get a female today. We should though.
Today? I thought they only released info on Alt Costumes every monday to friday?
Oh I forgot it was Saturday.
Waiting for the skins. I think Iron Fist's alternate looks neat, but this FF-Harry Potter thing would be a joke...a good joke
Well we all have to wait like kids waiting for the next Harry Potter movie.
Oh man. This jumps in my head!
Wondering why Jean is in? It's the Order of the Phoenix!

Man, you are unstoppable!
the scary thing is that it makes sense... :eek:
That explains it why they didn't want any mystical and magical characters in.... Ron is one. Man I could keep this up forever. Sweet is that it's ontopic, but with a humerous side to it. Which reminds me:
Does anybody know if the costumes add any bonus or something? I mean like passives?
Nope.
Can we get back to official news now? Im glad you guys are having fun an all but i think people come to this thread for official news.
Yes please. I have to admit (no offense to anyone) that these jokes about Harry Potter are getting old and even a little annoying. We get 6 passives I've heard.
6? I bet Defensive is amongst them again as the standard passives. Anyway where did you hear/see that? Been searching for 5 minutes and couldn't find anything on it
Not here on the official site's forums. Like for example one of Jean's passives make her powers all fiery and stuff. Otherwise her powers like normal.
Oh, well, I just hope they will reveal some good skins and a good last character. Because this game is far below MUA 1. (for me)
Not for me. I like the roster although more females are needed. At least we will have 4 good powers instead of last time with a couple good ones with many horrible ones. Fusions are more impressive to me than extremes. One skin is annoying but it is nice to have more modern costumes. I still only hate Wolverine's costume.
oh i agree but i dont realy care for more females(they are both cool neither males or females are better between them or more interesting they are both cool).If i had to choose for a female it would be she hulk(wich it think would heve been better than ms marvel,she always pissed me)Oh and please stop adding that wolvy costume rant (its my fav skin) and it gets anoying.Plus would u like to hear someone saing "the only thing i hate is jean grey being in the game" or something like that.So please stop.Still i agree about the powers and hope we have an awesome last char!
I don't care if the character is male or female. What I want are the ones I like, the ones that fit, and the ones that would be fun. So if the game fits where there's 22 females and just a few males, great. If it's the other way around, great. If it's somewhere in the middle great.

WOW THAT ULTIMATE JUGS ROCKS!!!Ya know,i like their version of jugs only cause it reminds me of this badass:

That is absolutely correct. I don't care if its male or female what matters is how fun the character is.
Juggernaut looks awsome! :D So far every alternate costume has been great except Songbird's...
Oh, and I agree with Teancum, dsjoadis and nodoubt_jr about that the sex of the character doesn't matter much for me. If the powers are good and the totality (entity? I'm not sure what would be a word good enough to describe this) is good. Then it's good enough for me :P

Venom looks awesome! I'm glad they didn't go with Anti-Venom.
Venom looks good.
It looks good but it wasnt what I was expecting I also dont like the shape of his head and he also has toe-nails lol.
Also why are all the costumes being based from the Ultimate versions ?
That's one long tougne. It has great detail.
It's not ultimate it is classic eddie brock.
It's this Ultimate Venom: http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/808/808189/exclusive-ultimates-3-debut-part-two-20070726025554991.jpg

Awesome ive been wondering who some of the bosses/villians are
Well we don't know if they are bosses as the link simply confused us about what role they have.
(I still think that Venom's alternate is classic as that is what is said in his VIP News Thread by VV but that is my opinion.)

*technically third, after the official site and the gamespot/gamefaqs.
Looks good, im not too familiar with this character, but is this his Secret War custome or something?
From what I gather from the comments, yes.
EDIT: This is another link someone at gamefaqs posted: http://s393.photobucket.com/albums/pp20/SR2IMAGES/?albumview=grid
It includes all alternate costumes, and pictures of the Ultimate Fantastic Four and Secret War costumes, just so we know what to expect.
I hate it. All secret war costumes are a big dissapointment to me besides DD's. His face does not look like Cage and his costume is ugghh. It was way better in the comic scans.
Here's another picture from Luke Cage's alt.: http://msnbcmedia1.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/040614/040614_usher_vmed130p.widec.jpg
hahahahaha! So now MUA2 has both Ron Weasly and Usher in it!
Looks good indeed.
I'm not entirely impressed by any of these costumes. Some just seem needlessly obscure (like Iron Fist's), others are just bad (Songbird's), ugly (Human Torch) or just downright boring (Luke Cage). Daredevil's even looks off to me - it just looks like his head is too big for his body.
Maybe there will be others that are better.

http://comics.ign.com/articles/101/1018503p1.html
Was posted in another topic. I love this quote though:
QuoteMarvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 (MUA2) is set to hit all the major consoles in September. This sequel promises to up the ante over the original, with Quoteplenty more Marvel heroes and villains
in store.
Interesting that the article is showing Spider-Woman and Lady Deathstrike. No where in the article does it actually say these are playable characters though. For all we know they could just be NPCs that we'll run into along the way.
Both looks very good. I will prefer Venom's alternate, because I like it more :D
SO here's another one. Anyone post this yet? http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1018946p1.html (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1018946p1.html)
Looks like both Cable and Bishop are boss characters, depending on which side you play. The way it's worded almost seems like Bishop could be a playable character though. Trust me, I'm not reading into it. He most definitely is not on my playable character wish list. And they mention the Iron-Spider costume as an alternate costume for Spiderman. And I cant help but wonder who this ultra powerful character is that you unlock once you beat the game. First time I've even heard this mentioned. Safe to assume this character isnt one of the 24 playables? I'm wondering if maybe it's Dr. Strange showing up at the end.
Yeah and this line:
QuoteThe costume you can unlock is also affected. Again using Spiderman as an example, he can only unlock the Iron Spider costume if he goes Pro-Reg.
Wow ain't the alternate costumes guessable..
I think that Nicky Fur (pun) is NOT playable. reasons: wasn't stark the director of shield in Civil War? Or was it later on?
Anyway, Nicky ain't superpowered.
Looking good. Good that they made two "alternate" storylines. :P
Now I have more hope that Spider-Woman is playable. I just love her so I hope she makes it!
I don't think a playable character would be casually revealed alongside Lady Deathstrike by IGN.

stark became director partway through, but it was maria hill for the first bit, as fury had been disgraced by the secret war.

You're entitled to believe a blue whale is going to come flying into your bedroom if you want. That doesn't mean we'll think the same, especially with all signs pointing towards pink elephants.
Anyways, Thor!

@Gevth - lol, good one
I really like that Thor skin, looks good. One of my favorites.
Wow, Thor is now one of my favorites too.
Thor's is the best one yet! But I do think Spider-Woman has a good chance.
the thor sketches seem to have funny proportions, but it looks great in-game! anyone know what it's called?

wonderman is a confirmed npc.
I hope they make a Ultimate Universe Costume for all characters...
Pyjama Thor ? :P
Forgot the name of that one.
I don't know why someone called it pajama Thor. That is his modern costume as I call it.
thanks.

There's only one character left, and according to that IGN article, its a "superpowerful" character, which Jessica doesn't quite strike me as. However, I'm sure that later on she'll be DLC or something.
We have two character slots left.
One who doesn't need to wash his costume (Iceman is covered in ice which blocks the dirt).
One super powerful superhero (Sentry)
Jessica's costume can be torn, she needs to create a whole new suit every time XD
She ain't a super powerful hero from what I can recall. Let's see if she can tear Carnage apart.
That's what I think, and I have hope for these. Especially Iceman who is totally special and unique. Sentry would be something new, and I think the fans voted for Sentry. I remember the time that people on this forum were saying OMG SENTRY DA BOMB 4 REAL DAWG OMG OMG SENTRY FTW 4DAWINZ!!!1!!!shift+1!!!! Okay, not like that, but a lot of people came asking ME for Sentry skins and such. When I started meshing, "OMG yoes is soo good make Sentry model for me policeeeee". Okay not like that, but they did ask me so many times I lost count of it. Since Sentry became an Avenger people became fan of him, I wouldn't leave him out of the roster at all and I wouldn't be surprised if he was the last character. lol @ my pls "policeeeeeeeeee" :P
sentry doesn't have to wash his outfit either. just saying.
The washing costume thing was for Ms. Marvel.
If it wasn't for the superpowerful clue I would still think we had Punisher. I still have high hopes for Spider-Woman and until she is announced to not be in then I will believe she isn't playable.
I think the last character is Spider-Woman, Cyclops, Iceman, or Punisher. Then the secret character is Dr. Strange, Nova, Scarlet Witch, or Sentry.
If powerful means super strength, so Sentry is my choice.
For Christ's sake, not Iceman again!
By powerful I think they mean cosmic, magical, or omega-level mutant. So that goes why I think Dr. Strange, Nova, Scarlet Witch, or Sentry.
Honestly I don't think Sentry will be in. Many people think Nova is in but I don't see him making it either. I don't see Scarlet Witch also no matter how much I want her yet I think she has some chances. Really I think Dr. Strange.
strange was sitting in antartica for the entire war. meaning they can't pull the old "resurrection" or "didn't really die" tricks on us
I thought he was with the Secret Avengers and providing them a base which was the Sanctorum?
Wonder-Man is an NPC

that was post-civil war(new avengers 6 and 7, i think)
Quote from: wikipedia
The Civil War storyline — involving the introduction of the Superhuman Registration Act — forces a split in the superhero community and Strange, opposed to mandatory registration, leaves the Illuminati and goes into seclusion in the Arctic region until the issue is resolved.
---
When Strange returns from the Arctic he secretly shelters the team the New Avengers, formed after the events of the Civil War, in his residence and assists on several missions.
Great Thor skin!
Not quite to do with the game, but I won second place in the "Draw a Fusion" competition on the MUA2 forums! :D
This was my entry:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/Cymru_Lad/Marvel%20Characters/g7308.png)
cool fusion does that mean when ben punches them they will bounce off and hit a wall or making them fall to a cliff
@ Dihan: you are so lol :P Would love to see a cartoon in that style :P :P (I'm not saying it's bad, because I would award that too :P )
That would be an awesome cartoon. I'd just wake up at midnight just to see it.
Not me, not a big fan of FF.

Just so you know, Iceman's an omega-level mutant too.
Yeah, he is or he could be the strongest X-Men. I hope for Nova or Sentry, because they would be new to the official roster.
Dr. Strange and Scarlet Witch would not be included, I'm almost certain (certain when the game is released). The developement team clearly stated that no cosmic and magical character will be in the roster.
Oh and btw, the one that was blurred and flying which I mentioned before, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Sentry and the other one Iceman.
Sentry, Nova and Iceman would be good for me. I really like 'em!

Your still hoping for Spider-woman even after she was confirmed Non-playable?

Expected a detailed costume than this one. Nuff said.
these people seem talented at screwing up body shapes. is that original or x-men first class costume? either way that might give us insight into x-men costumes...
I think First Class, the original costume has navy blue.
I really like it. And I'm a huge Jean fan. I would have preferred something else, but this definitely works.
I think that is kinda' not good costume. She has too wide hips and her hair looks like a bunch of melted plastic coming from her head. I was hoping for the New X-Men costume :bawling:
you'd think that if they were doing first class skins they would include more x-men from that period (beast, iceman, jean, angel, and cyclops were the main characters)
Yet another "meh" costuem. Excitement level -1
Indeed, the incredible Red Towelheadgirl in this costume. It's disappointing.
I like it, she looks good, but im dissapointed in the custome. I really wanted New X-Men or something more current. Oh well at least we get a skin weve never had.
The alt custome choices dont really make sense for me, what theme are they going for? Some have Secret War, others have modern, others have random ones, ultimates, and now alt originals. I thought they would all get either modern or classic. Maybe they are for team bonuses.
I think they are indeed for teambonusses, like "Old School".

Ditto, I was hoping for something a little more classic (like her green one with the short skirt and yellow crown/mask or her Ultimate) not something that's a little bit obscure like this one. I mean, it's not as obscure as Iron Fist's, but still.
Looks good, I think. Iron Fist's alt is just fine. I mean, it's unique, his other customes are like the same, I think.
I love Jean's but another cosutme would have been better. So far my favs are Jean and Thor. I just hate Jean's hair but it looks nice in the model sheet.
You'd love Jean if she was inside out.
My ratings.
Thor - 10
Jean - 10
Hulk - 10
Songbird - 9
Mr. Fantastic - 9
Daredevil - 9
Venom - 7
Human Torch - 7
Iron Fist - 6
Wolverine - 3
Luke Cage - 1
Did I miss anyone?
I was thinking...what if Stan Lee would be a secret character, as his self, with unique powers? I mean, that would be a big joke and everything and I can even imagine it :D His alt skin could be a younger version of his self. He would be totally in the book of game history :D :)
If they ever did that they would probably get hate-mail, death threats and angry mobs.
Why? To Marvel fans he's legendary.
Yeah, you hate Stan "The Man" that much? I think that would be good, because he is kinda old. He should do this, while he can and I think this would be something no one would forget.
If he really was in the roster, I would say this:
Quote from: BLaw if Stan Lee is in the roster[/quote
Wow. He's cool! It also figures! He is super powerful! He can stop the Marvel Universes with one singel poke on the button! He can tear the Sentry in gazillion pieces!
I wonder who's next.. Storm or so?
I don't hate him. He made some of my fav characters and Marvel owes much to him. I just think joke playables shouldn't be in a game like this due to the serious tone. Also I wouldn't do that but I see others doing it.
If you think of it, it wouldn't be a joke, more of a sign in the Big Book of Video Games, as: Stan "The Man" Lee was here, 2009 September 15. I think it would be cool, and he should do it, while he has the chance.
Seeing as he is an NPC I don't think he is playable. I would like him but only a bonus. Not taking a 24 character slot. He should have been pre-order exclusive instead of Juggs although I am happy to play as Juggs.
I still can't wait to find out, how he will be in. It would be cool as a playable and an NPC. (I think it would be nice as playable, I mean, he is old and if he doesn't have luck, he won't live too long now and they can make MUA games after even 50 years, so if they would do this, then everyone, lets be happy, just this once and if not, then there's no problem).
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/101/1018946p1.html
Spider-Man has his Iron Spider costume and Spider-Woman really is NPC. I just hope she is DLC.
Wow, cool news, I'm glad, there is still the chance, that last character would be a new one.
Still suspecting Stan as the ultra super character (or Sentry or Nova).
But wait, what if Aunt May from April 1st? I can imagine anything now.
Imagine that in the X-Men movies Stan Lee was in there instead of Storm. Or if he was in the Avengers movies instead of Giant Man. It's one thing to have a cameo, but him playable over someone like Nova, Silver Surfer or even Nick Fury?
So, until the last character has been revealed I will deny ever thinking about him having a chance in the game, and I will also deny the existance of every post mentioning that possibility.
PS: This post? Never existed.
PPD: See?

PS: Hah! I immortalized your post Big Scripting Guy :P Oh wait, the PS & PPD are still in it :< :P
I'm hoping that Polaris will be included. She's a pretty powerful mutant so she might be the secret character! They'll most likely drop in Magneto since he's been in every one of these games though... Here's to wishes coming true lol.
I would love Polaris but I doubt it. Maybe DLC.

It's a base anti-reg use. More of an ex-Hydra base.

You just kind of jump between female characters obsessions, don't you? :D
They mentioned Starjammers so Polaris and Rachel can probably be NPCs.
I think it sounds more like their just giving a little background about Havok. I don't see how they could fit the Starjammers into the Civil War storyline.
AND HERE'S JEAN GREY'S!!! http://marvelultimatealliance.marvel.com/en/news_comments/twelfth_of_24_alternate_costumes_jean_grey/

This was posted a few pages back. Anyway I do think we will see some of Polaris and Rachel as even though they don't fit in the story neither does Havok.
Fankit is up. Yay!
frankit?
Fan kit has a bunch of folders with this content.
Images of every character in full costume.
MUAII and Anti and Pro logos.
Wallpaper folder.
Game Cover Folder
Anti and Pro Folders
Game screenshots.
People use this to make fan sites of the game.
Hmmm, interesting, the characters in the fankit seem to be posed as in the character selection screen. That is only important in that Ms. Marvel is shown flying, so she takes the spot next to Iron Man.
here's the video where the screen can be seen: http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/14233937/marvel-ultimate-alliance-2/videos/mua2_trl_demotailer_72809.html
When I zoom in I can see legs (and perhaps a TAIL or CAPE) of somebody. The "person" is between Luke Cage and Penance. Take a screenshot, and zoom in.
EDIT: O wait, that's Gambit who has been erased in scene.
My opinion is still, that Sentry or Nova will be the super character at the end. (I won't say Stan Lee, but I'm thinking it :D)
thanks marvelfan!! is there any other jean costume that's been released or is this the only one? if there is, where can i find it? :)
All characters will only get one costume.
really? so its the original phoenix and that one then?? damn
LOL, Stan Lee. Too bad I won't be able to play the game anyway but Stan Lee. :rofl: Yeah he could have stuff like: Rewrite the Character: Rewrites the enemy to not to be evil anymore but just a tiny girl. :D
Why a tiny girl? I don't know, but they just give me this feeling, that he could be a playable (or a funny DLC).
I don't know. I just thought of something truly innocent and something that couldn't hurt you. It could be a puppy or kitten or whatever.
Well, that would be a good joke. I don't know, there is a chance for everything.
Oh yeah they announced that we will have females for DLC and Colossus will not be playable.
Maybe I'm wrong, but in the Team Selection Screen, could that blur of motion above Invisible Woman be Quicksilver (see pic below)?
(http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/9199/teamselection.th.png) (http://img82.imageshack.us/i/teamselection.png/)
That is Ms. Marvel.
Truthfully I don't know how you could get all that from a blur. But did anyone else notice there are two Iron Mans in that pic? :D
It's Ms Marvel because the character selection poses are identical to the official art. For example, compare the art in Marvelfan's signature to the ones in the character selection screen.
Well it's sure that they did not have a "mannequin". I think they used the Ironman manny in that picture as a placeholder for another flying hero. *Points eyes to Sentry*. But I think it's obvious that the blue blurry figure is our our most favorite hero, Iceman. I'm not a bully, but I'm just hammering on the possibility that it's Iceman. :P :P
Well, it could be anyone, because I can't tell much from a blur. Hoping for Sentry, he would awesome.

When you say two Iron Mans, do you mean there are 2 on the background, or one in the active team and one mannequin? Because in the background I can see Mr. Fantastic and Venom too, and I wouldn't discard Storm being somewhere around there.
And I didn't see big ol jugs anywhere.
Yeah, me neither, but he is not someone, who you can't see from a distance.
I would be happy for a Runaway as DLC.
I think the blue guy is Punisher as it seems to me that the figure is holding a rifle. Being blue really doesn't mean it is Iceman.
No but I'm having a lot of hope that it's both Sentry and Iceman in the last 2 spots.. 8-)
Sentry would be nice but I have a feeling it won't be him.
Punisher, Iceman, Sentry, Nova. All would be good for me
The character's besides the ones already playable are npc's right?
http://s393.photobucket.com/albums/pp20/SR2IMAGES/?albumview=grid
also Spiderwoman is in that... So maybe she is the secret character..
Unfortunately Spider-Woman is only an NPC. I so wanted to play as her. She is probably gonna be DLC or maybe even an exclusive (360 exclusive then please).
when was it announced she was a npc?
It was announced on some thread how she would come aid you and be a boss for the Pro-Side a few days ago.
WOW sounds cool, at least she is in the game :]
Maybe she'll be an exclusive character. I hope so at least for the 360/PS3.
I still hope for those four, even for exclusives.

Great! Fury as NPC! NON-PLAYABLE people! Happy happy, joy, joy.
PS: what a STUPID physique! Look at the legs, he looks so tiny! (I have nothing against little people, Fury is supposed to be a tall person)
Thank-god!!!!!

Im glad Fury is not a playable character, i liked him in MUA1, but i have always seen him as a more behind the scenes/yelling out orders kind of guy.
Thing looks good.
Yeah Thing looks nice.
Thing looks cool.
I hate Nick Fury in every way possible.
I liked the black version of him much more :)
Yeah, Samuel L. M********** Jackson lookalike. I think it's cool. It gives Fury some additude.
Cool, at least we may have someone new as a playable.
The alt costume for today is Iron Spider. Looks pretty sweet, but this is something we already knew. Wondering what the alt for Captain America will be. I'd love to see the current costume being worn, but that doesnt exactly fit the story line.

I'll take it back. This Spidey alt is just SUPER! Waiting for Cap's and Gobby's. Oh, and I wait Deadpool's too. Would love that classic skin of his :D

I don't know, if it's a feature already, but do you guys know what would be cool? Characters with weapons would have a button, which takes out their weapons. I mean, their could have more normal attacks, not just normal punches, kicks :D
It's nice.
do you guys know about the leaked wii and os2 exclusives?
Rumor my ass! http://www.flickr.com/photos/17215486@N07/3878769884/
I'm so sad. Have to use PS2 for Cyke and Psylocke.
Wow.
Guess it's true then.
Too bad they aren't in the initial roster.
Hate DLC's.
I'll need to buy pS2 version then. psylocke and jean will never leave my roster.
I am actually shocked that they really included her! I am grateful but it's a shame that she's downgraded to PS2 graphics. Hopefully, she becomes DLC and we can play her in high quality. Great news!
The alt custome looks good, i dont really like that outfit but the mechanical arms make it look cool.
Im suprised, but happy that Psylocke will be playable. I guess if i ever get this game it will be on PS2.

That
ain't confirmation. I could whip up a fake DVD sleeve, put it into a DVD case and take some really close-up blurry pictures too. I'd just wait for the official word. News Lad said someone from n-Space (the Wii developers) would be posting official info on the official forums soon. I figure I'll wait until then to say it's official.
I'm quite sure they are in. I can't wait for my new X-Men team.

Force fields are mostly indestructable (Jean and Sue's blocking)
Sue does have invisibility
Force field for Sue when blocking and for one power
They avoided weak and ininteresting powers
Jean is mix of cosmic fire and tk
Cap has hidden bunker
Stark tower is back
Magic may appear. No guarantee but most likely DLC (Strange and Wanda)
10-12 levels for 3 acts
They choose heroes from beginning (Like Cap, Iron man, FF, Wolverine, Storm, Spidey, Jean) and others at CC 2008
IW and Jean can lift cars
One of Iw's power is invisibility
Tk fastballs only for Jean
Ms. Marvel unlocked after 2nd mission
Change team whenever
Save game whenever
Penance is unlocked at act 3's beginning
XMLIII may happen
Some hint to Illuminati
Females for DLC
Hobgoblin looks interesting. But werent Hobgoblin and Green Goblin actually 2 different people?
Wondering what the Ms. Marvel alt will be. I'm figuring either classic costume, or possibly the Warbird costume, which is what I'd prefer.
We have Warbird. That is default but she wore it as regular Ms. Marvel too. I hope original.
I like that alt custome.
"XMLIII may happen" - the only thing that i have read that im excited about.
Firestar and Justice NPC Spotlights
http://marvel.com/news/vgstories.9381.MUA2_NPC_Spotlight~colon~_Firestar_and_Justice
Thanks.
Had we seen Justice before? I dont remember, but im glad both of them are in together. Im guessing Firestar is a boss.
No prob :)
I haven't seen Justice before, and I don't like Firestar's look :P
yeah that outfit is horrible lol
I'm excited by the whole "XMLIII may happen" comment as well. Especially if we see characters such as Havok, Polaris and Dazzer as finally being playable.
I would be beyond happy if Firestar and Justice at some point become DLC. I could easily see Jean Grey and Human Torch's powers being recycled for that.
Firestar is nice in the character model sheet but looks really bad in game.
Yeah, she looks like a transvestite, IMO.
lol
http://comics.ign.com/articles/101/1018503p7.html
Moonstone is NPC. She looks so good. I wish she was playable!
All the in game shots look horrible, glad she is in though.
Yeah they do but the character model sheets look better.
Its true, the model sheets are way better , but I think she is fine and I'm glad that she is in too.

Ahh what a shame she's an NPC :( I wish she was playable too... but she looks cool.
Maybe DLC
yeah people like moonstar, jubilee, emmma, hellion, wolfsbane, and blink need more attention
Those would be nice but I don't see any of them making DLC due to the limited roster and other non X-characters. I would have said Emma but I doubt her too. Why?
First they said no weak or damageless powers so no stun or anything for Emma.
No mental damage so that takes out all tp.
She isn't complete diamond and they wouldn't make her only diamind.
And she won't affect robots which they want her to do.
I think we will only see her as an NPC but as we won't see the X-Mansion I doubt that too.
You are strange to me marvelfan. You always say infos what I've never seen before. How is that possible?
On twitter, emma thread, jean thread, vv questions thread.
Okay, I've read some posts on the official site and there is a chance, that tomorrow (friday) they will reveal the last character. If not, sorry, but I hope they will.
It's definitely Iceman!
Clues on HeroHQ:
- This character does not fly.
- In our game, this character has an extremely flexible combat style which emphasizes multiple attack ranges and powers supplemented by melee.
- Inspiration for this character's design came from Marko Djurdjevic, Yanick Paquette, Chris Bachalo, and Humberto Ramos.
All of them have worked on Iceman.

Well, in some sort of way, he flies, but it looks like, that it will be him. It's kinda sad, but okay for me, if his voice will remain the same, like in MUA and XML2.
Well I don't mind if it is him anyway, cuz he's one of my fav characters ever, but I don't understand why they kept him so secretive?
I think he is the last character simply because all the other characters have been leaked before.
Oh well.
Marvelously lacking excitement, in my opinion:

Woohoo, well the alt for Ms. Marvel is Warbird. That has always been my favorite costume for her. It's looks friggin awesome.
Nice I was hoping Original but looks awesome. All females look great!
Hell yes. This actually fits with the Secret War costumes they've been using for some of the characters.
I say her's is number 10 for me along with Jean and Thor's.
i like.
Wow i hate to say it but...nice skin lol
Why hate to say it?
Also reveal is today
I love Ms Marvel's alt, one of my favorites! Makes up for my dissapointment in Jean's alt.
She is awesome , my favorite alt since now. :P
http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/14233937/marvel-ultimate-alliance-2/videos/mua2_trl_icemanvignette_83109.html
Aaaaand it's official. Second person to make a "cool" pun wins.
Is it just me or is he reallly "cool" in that video
Awesome, awesome! I love how he looks, his powers look great and i love his slide. Im just glad that we got more x-men this time.
I'm so glad he's in. I'm also pleased that he's not bald for a change.
I'm happy we got him now cause he looks awesome! Mostly his new look.
yay! question: is are jean grey's phsychic effects green? cause i saw some people being lifted in the air with green effects...
that could be green goblin's effects. hers are fiery or clear depending if you use the passive that makes her powers look fiery.
http://picasaweb.google.com/dematron/Marvel#5377401738531444242
a pic of the mysterious green effects.
phoenix isn't there. iceman is launching enemies up with an ice pillar.
i know pheonix isn't there.i was hoping it was a leak or something, but i see what you mean, it's probably a buff/debuff symbol, seeing as a different enemy had it.
*sigh* Iceman again. To be honest I really don't like him all that much, I'd rather have another X-man aboard. But I guess nobody else has freezing powers like him. Still, can't say I didn't see it coming, but a big disappointment nonetheless.
Oh wow the front page full picture has changed, Jean looks great. Im glad all the characters are there now.
Psylocke, Blade, and Cyclops have been annnounced in a blog by Kalina. Showing Psylocke and Blade fighting some enemies, and the three running together. They look good! sort of a slightly better graphics version of MUA1 on wii :)
Any chance of posting it here? It seems to be VIP only and im not a VIP.
okay :) il try, Im not too sure how to get photo links, but il do my best :P

Thank you. Psylocke looks great. I wonder what that attack is, it looks like a psyblast but its comming from her mouth,
its probably just an error, like they started running or something whilst they performed their attack, cyclops optic blast looks abit lazy i thought.. :/ you know just the way it sort of comes vaguely from his visor.. XD

Cause i hate the character(probably one of the only marvel females i hate,Cause shes anoying with that temper,like the convo with superskrull's sim.Shes exactly waht i dont like of a female.Unlike jean,storm ect...they are more kind and more delicate.)Im realy sorry for the ms. marvel fans realy,cause i know whats it like to have someone to rant at your fav char,so sorry.
Oh back to the thread-I just dig tha iceman,his definetly having a important place in my team this time lol
First, I wanted to write: "Iceman? I don't like him!" But with this skin, he is cool! I mean, I was getting bored of his normal "human-shaped-ice" form, but this Spiky is cool. Oh, and BTW, I like the update of the official site!
Im just surprised they waited to use him as one of the last...
Wow the front page looks really awesome :P, but Blade looks terrible on this pics.

There is a WII video of gameplay but not worth posting.
IW and Torch seem the same as MUA and Iceman looks different.
Psylocke looks like her XMLI converted plus powers from NodoubtJr's mod of her. She has the same idle, something which looks like a tk spear and even a power like her tk slam.
I dunno, I'd sure like to see what it looks like.
Everything for it looks the same as MUA except in a slight super-deformed style. You can tell it was built for the PS2 and then ported to the Wii. It's a shame when the Wii can handle a lot more than that - just look at games such as Metroid Prime 3.
Though it does look likely that we could be able to get things from the PS2 or Wii versions of the game. Just look at this screenshot, for example:
(http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2009/246/951210_20090904_790screen007.jpg)
Recognise the flying SHIELD agent from anywhere?
Just found the Vii video too -- it REALLY looks like they're using Alchemy, and they're most definitely reusing models.
I know I'm dissapointed. The Ps2 looks exactly like MUA1. If not for Cyke and Psylocke there would be no point for me to get the Ps2 version.
Where can i watch the video, i want to check out Psylocke. I really hope we can use some of that stuff in MUA1, if we cant get a pc version of MUAII maybe we can at least use some of the newer models.
I'm not disappointed if it means we can get MUA2>MUA1 conversions for characters like Songbird, Green Goblin, Iron Fist, Penance, Psylocke, etc.
Though right now it looks unlikely that I'll get any version. It's just not one of my gaming priorities any more.
Psylocke:

http://pax.gamespot.com/video/6216798/?hd=1&tag=top_stories;play_btn;7
Sue and Torch look the same.
Oh well new characters make it up and new storyline but still dissapointed.
I can't believe it, Psylocke is exactly like her XML1 version just with some new powers, she even has the same stance animation... same with IW and Human torch.
What a shame I thought that she (Psylcoke) would be unique especially since she's an exclusive character, this is dissapointing...
But on the other side it could be great if the models can be imported so we can use them in MUA1
:emmafrost:
I'm thinking of getting the 360 version instead. The graphics for Ps2 are just MUA's, the powersets are XMLs or MUa's. I just hope Cyke and Psylocke will be DLc.
Dude I'm willing to buy that game for the PS2 if it's possible to use those models. I still own a PS2..
Yeah but your only buying it for models.
You guys are all ripping on the PS2 version, but odds are if they weren't able to reuse lots of stuff there wouldn't be one. I'm just glad they had that stuff to reuse -- that means they focused on gameplay and any new stuff they needed.
Gameplay looks the same but fusions. Iceman, cyclops, iw, torch, psylocke etc for XML and mua.
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp20/SR2IMAGES/Secretcharacter.jpg
Behold the secret character. Doesn't look like Nova or Rogue. Who is it?
It's Storm?
hahahaha
kidding, who could it be?
I'm not happy.
They blacked out the character so maybe they also messed with it to throw us off, i cant think of a hero that would have feet like that, so maybe they changed that.
Maybe Ultron or Super Skrull as the character is one not very mentioned on Hero Hq.

They are definitely using Alchemy, I posted about it a while back: http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=3667.0
but the thing is knowing how different it is compared to the version used in MUA1. So far, the animations and effects seem exactly the same (which is also a good thing).
Hero Hq.
I decided to get 360 version. Hopefully Scott and Psylocke will be DLC. It has been said that all playables will be the same as MUA or XML and maybe even same voice actors. I'll get it if they have good reviews.
Penance's Alt costume has been revealed it is just him wearing pants showing all his cuts and stuff nothing real special. I thought Speedball wouldve been a better choice though.

I just don't get why they try to make things make sense in both aesthetically and in-game (this skin instead of Speedball, Telepathy not affecting robots, effects and animations have to look detailed and real from a way to close distance), and then some others don't (Iceman's ice-slide has no ground support, some bosses cannot be affected by stun or grabs, changing characters on the fly).
They should've known by now that not everything has to make sense in a superhero reality.

When you write things like this, it's better to give a link that has the complete information. You make it sound as though it could be posting it
here that gets you banned
there, which I really don't think is the case. And then, I wouldn't know what's the policy when you post a link to a site that has a link to a different forum where the scans are posted. Is that an insta-ban too?

Once again, could you post a link to the topic where they said that? It's not because I don't believe you or because I'm planning to upload some scans, but rather because I'd like to know exactly what they're trying to say. What I am sure, is that if I see them posted in, let's say, gamefaqs, I'll provide the link here, if I see anything interesting that's worth mentioning. That's basically what I've been doing with the alternate skins.

Quite honestly I dont think they have the time to be checking out other forums for what people are posting, hell they barely monitor there own forums. When the whole Blade, Cyclops, Psylocke thing came out on their site it was up for almost the whole day before a mod got around to pulling it down. Pretty sure you are free to post whatever you want here, just stick a spoiler tag on it so no one gets their undies in a bunch. Personally if someone gets the guide I want to know anything and everything.

thats crap, mods on a proffesional and public site should not ban people for what they say on another forum. you can freely do that on your own forum if someone says something they shouldnt there, but to ban them because they said it somewhere else is just over the top and controlling.
But did i miss something? i didnt see anything in that thread about banning if you post it here. Someone just mentioned that they hope they dont post it here.
Continue on the next page or something and they say if you post scans you will be banned but never mind that.

Who cares? It's not like they're going to check every forum anyway. Can we drop the discussion and get back on topic though please? I'm sure people who are checking here for official news don't care if Person Y gets teh bant on another forum for posting things on this forum. I for one, am one of those people who do not care. If they want to post pics let them, no sense worrying yourself about what others do. Why bother with another site's rules on this site anyway? It's not like they can affect us. If nothing else it gives us more info about the game and that was the point of this thread in the first place.

Why me? Strategy guides are a waste of good money. I don't even know if I'm going to get the game at all, so where do you get off giving me a warning?
IMO it was something worth discussing, we dont want people to not post important news here because they are afraid they may get banned over there. But yes this is not the place to discuss this as its not "official", so back on topic.
I kind of like Penance's alternate skin, Speedball would have been cool but i dont think it would work with his current powerset. It looks cool to me. Lol poor guy is going to be running around without shoes.

The strategy guide is in Uk and u r in UK.
News Lad has said that they hadn't even finished writing it. Again, why would I get a strategy guide when they're a complete waste of money and I probably won't even get the game?
Some other interesting things I noticed about the Wii version:
- The minimap looks exactly the same. Those red X's are an exact copy
- All eight characters shown in the video have at least some of the same animations from MUA1
- The little arrow over during the "use turret" sequence is the same
- Objectives are shown in the 100% exact same style, just with a different font
- The enemy health HUD looks the same, just a different border
- The little mini-cutscenes move in the exact same manner as MUA1
- Some of the effects used are 100% the same
- The health/power orbs are the same
The more I look at this the more I'm hopeful that the Wii/PS2/PSP versions use the same Alchemy version they did in MUA1, as it really looks like they didn't change the engine much at all, just a few gameplay mechanics here and there.
And they will be using MUA and XML powers it seems
Yep, looks like it.
Man, I hope that at least the PS2 version uses Alchemy 3.2. I'd be ecstatic if I could use a couple'a MUA2 characters in the Xbox MUA1 mod, not to mention XML2. The good thing is that if it used 3.5 or lower we could port part of the game to MUA1PC. We don't have even 1/4 of the manpower we'd need to do the whole game, but it would be fun to play around with.

Im more excited about this than the actual game being out. I really hope that the skins and skeletons work in XML2, but if they dont i hope that they at least work in MUA1. I may start modding MUA1 if this is possible.
And I'm hoping a certain archer will at least be a NPC ally in MUA2 so we can do a more fitting mod for him. Nonetheless I'll be upgrading most MUA1 Xbox characters where I can, and dropping in Venom at bare minimum. Looks like before too long I'm going to have to learn how to crack the 27 character limit in some way.

Well I'm back so we have more manpower. We did lose BliZZ though it looks like. But me and him were working on the original XML->XML2 and the XML->MUA project along with you, so at least I have some experience porting. I'm honestly just more or less looking forward to new effects from MUA2, and maybe a few new models. As for porting the whole game I don't know if I want to do that just yet, I'd honestly rather get back to XML1 and port the entirety of XML1 + XML2 to MUA's game engine. But that was a hell of a long project and an uphill battle at best. :runaway:
We'll figure out how to crack MUA's limits at some point in time. I'll get back to trying to work the .exe in the future once I finish Emma, Rogue, Gambit, and updating Psylocke. Before I get the character limit done I want to figure out a way to port the handler for Power Theft over to MUA, or at least come up with a script that will work in it's place. I refuse to accept defeat and I *WILL* get Rogue's Power Theft working in MUA some how. *shakes fist at MUA*
I don't think it is possible to port XML to the game as their was a project lead by Teancum but it got abandoned. Also all effects and powers for PS2 will already be from XML and MUA so that won't be new only the new characters.
Anyway lets get back on topic
Some models may be the same, but im sure there be plenty of models, effects, skeletons, etc that will be completly new. Then theres npc's and maps. We could do a lot with that stuff if it does work in MUA1.

I'm looking forward to seeing if Songbird's wing effects will work in MUA1. If they do then that can be an option for a Pixie mod that I'll eventually make.
I just want songbird and the new Jean.
This may seem stupid, but has anyone heard if they will release a cell phone version? I loved the XML2 version and the X-Men Origins Wolverine one is pretty fun too.
I don't think so

I hope they do make one.
They havn't said anything about it Marvelfan so you cant come to a conclusion just yet, no-one thought there would be a XML2 version but it happened.
I said I don't think so. That isn't a final conclusion.

I hope they do too I was just playing the XML2 one yesterday and thought an MUA one could be just as fun.
Back again! Wow, I looked at the picture of the Wii/DS/PS2 game, well it's dissapointing or what, I was hoping, that they might improve some. That Blade looks terrible! But, I still gonna try the PS2 version, just because I liked MUA on PS2.
I'm just gonna buy it later on after the 360 version

here's more
http://mycheats.1up.com/list/cheat/3168082/marvel_ultimate_alliance_2/ps3
I was hoping for actual cheats like one that just unlocks Jean
I'm sure those'll come, but cheats don't usually appear until about a day or two before the game comes out.
Yeah I just saw cheats and I got excited.
I'm waiting for cheats, I love to try 'em out. I've looked at the X360 achievements, I was shocked. 200 team boosts? Where can I get that many? Kidding aside, I think the achievements will be good.
Okay, the newest Alternate is: Iceman's! For me: Spiky, modern and punk! I love it :D But really, it looks great for me. Oh, and especially love the pic, where he holds an Icesword! It's neat!
It's hideous. Worse than Wolverine's for me. Once more I am dissapointed. I'll just use his default as an X-Men First Class costume as it looks like it.
For me, it's good and I think there were worse (like the whole F4, for me even Ms. Marvel's alt).
Iceman has that Ghostrider thing going on. It has something good, but can't really figure out what XD
Dunno, but he looks like a real punk now and this made him to be in my team all the time :D
So far I hate Iceman, Penance, and Wolverine's. I think Iceman's default is pretty much his first class costume so he matches with Jean.
well yeah, Penance and Wolverine has a bit lame alt, but no problem for me. I mean, I will use Wolverine's first skin anyways and I don't even want to use Penance.

It's ok, nothing WOW.
I have a feeling Storm is gonna have her 80's punk outfit.
I think it's a cool outfit, but I'd like some other for Storm.
iceman's is not excellent, but it's not horrible. i would probably switch between the two costumes.
i think that both iceman and storm's alt is friggin awesome!

Seconded. Yet another crappy Vicarious Vision-ized costume when they could have given us a costume we wanted.
am i the only one who hates green gobie's alternate skin?
Nope, but at least it sortof resembles HobbyGobby.
It seems they want costumes from the 2000s even if the costumes were supposed to be worn back in the 60s or 70s they want costumes from recent books which is why Jean has first class.
I think Storm will get Fantastic Four costume.

Ewww, take that back.
No.
I don't mind that costume but it is similar to her Astonishing.
That's not official. Stop chasing ghosts.
I've got a feeling we'll see Storm's costume from the Joss Whedon run of Astonishing Xmen. I'd prefer her Xtreme Xmen outfit either with or without the braids, but I'm not holding my breath. As long as it isnt the Ultimate costume, or the 80s punk costume I'll be happy.
Lets just wait and see, as I say now.
I hope we get something different from Storm, all of her recent customes look too alike with just some small differences.
I think we will get Fantastic Four. X-Treme is doubtful especially since we didn't get Jean's New X-Men. I just pray no Ultimate.
How does that make any sense? Because we didn't get Jean's New X-Men costume Storm's Xtreme costume is less likely?
I was just going through some of the threads on Hero HQ Forums and someone suggested that Storm's alt costume might be her first classic one?
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2624/3883119788_7cc60a7aca_b.jpg
I mean if you think about it, it might be possible, they probably wouldn't need a lot of work for it.
I'm ok with that choice, I guess, since it is my favourite Storm costume, but I'd like something different than her Astonishing one, since it's quite similar to her original one?
Your thoughts are ditto to me for that.

She and Jean will always be on my team now!! (Storm Alternate, Jean Default)
Love Jean, Storm, Thor, and Ms. Marvel's alternates. Out of 10 they have a 12.
Gosh! She is horrible! Her face traces are very rude! Sorry for my words, but she looks like an androgynous!
Yeah her face was a little weird but far better than some others (cough cough Penance)
Penance is a man, he's all crewed up, he is suppoused to be screwed up! That makes sense, not Storm looking like a man!
PS: I loved Penance alt. costume...
jeeze. and here i was thinking that they had finaly come to there senses and gave the female characters some modesty...ah well.
So at the end it was her Astonishing costume (Bianchi's version)...
I have to say that this is, at least for me, one of the best alternate costumes of the game.
I also thought that this is far better than her default costume, and this costume (astonishing) is not my favorite...
And her face looks acceptable to me. And I say acceptable, not well done, since Storm is one of the most attractive females on Marvel.
But,we are talking about VV people, after seen how they "conceived" Spider Woman, Ms Marvel, Black Widow and almost all the females of the game (including their plastic hair), I think it's clear that they don't have any idea of how to make a "good looking to your sight" woman (body, face...)
The costume is great, I'm mad about her face and her body structure! Like an travesti!

Wow. Storm looks awful. Clearly they've lost their minds at Vicarious Visions. I'll stick with n-Space's far superior version.
I dont know how to feel about Storm's alt, she sorta looks like a drag queen, but i kind of like it. I really dont like that custome, but at least its current and new to these games.
question for VIPs on the MUA2 site: do you guys have to sign in everytime you go on or are you already logged in? I dont go that often, but everytime i do i have to sing in again.
After a few hours you must sign in.
ok thanks, i thought i was doign something wrong.

I hope this is not considered offensive, but Storm's alternate skin actually makes her look like a prostitute.

Agreed
I certainly called the Storm costume. It kind of made sense since they seem to be pulling costumes from more recent comics. I've always liked this costume, though they could have done a little better job with the interpretation.
I think she looks fine. I can't wait to see Gambit.

Honestly, I think it could have been far worse. Storm has definitely worn some pretty bad costumes in her day. And some of these alternates have looked far worse than this one.
Yes you have spoken the truth.
Storm... I can't help but shake my head at the awfulness of her costume. Almost every costume in this game sucks, especially the alternates. I mean... wow. I wonder why Raven isn't doing MUA2 and VV is? Raven did a much better job with their games. With this one, all of the characters look like trash, and their alternates are even worse. The art director should not have a job after this game gets released, because these are some of the worst looking and proportionally challenged characters I've ever seen. I seriously mean it. That guy needs firing asap.
Raven rocks. Activision please bring them back. If you have any sense at all, bring them back. Vicarious Visions, at this point, looks like they're just awful. Put them back on porting to the Wii and keep them away from the main consoles... please :runaway:
I don't mind the default. They look great. Now the alternates need some work for some characters.

but at least they were mostly things people might wear during war-time. the only opposition to that theory i can think of is penance, and he doesn't really care in the first place.
I don't like feeling accomodated. I always expect the game to be even better the its previous one. But it seems they don't give a f*ck to this. They think they can repeat all the fightstyles, powers, characters and etc and we won't notice...
Fan's opinion should count a little more, after all, WE are gonna buy the game anyway...
I have mixed feelings about Storm's costume.
I think it's ok, but I wish they did some other costume.
The costume is weird to begin with...

Totally true on every point. I've loved every Raven Software game that's come out. VV disappoints me a little bit more every day. I'm sure the professional reviewers are gonna really rip into things like alternate costume choices and character models when it comes down to it.
Still, I sortof feel bad for VV. Dan Tanaguay had said they worked 60+ hours for over a year to get this out. Must be a bit of a bite to the keyster to know that some decisions made early on are gonna tick off fans and gamers alike.

I like Storms alt. costume. It's a updated version of her original costume with a touch of some African elements.
The only thing I think they could have tried better is a full cape.
For me, most of the skins are good, but this is due to the lack of comics in Hungary.

Awesome just what I wanted.
I think FF alternate costumes are the best ones...
I'd put them all in my favs too.
I know I sound negative, but I don't really care. What's with making every woman except storm have an ugly face? -1 more on my excitement scale. I'm really starting to think the n-Space version is definitely going to be the superior one.

Ok then, comparison time:
COMIC Sue Storm. Note the skin tone, facial shape, hair color, etc.
(http://fantasticfour.ugo.com/images/heroes/invisible-woman.jpg)
VICARIOUS VISIONS Sue Storm. Pale skin (even with the blue tones from her powers), a huge flat nose, huge wide eyes, hair from 1987, and her face looks like she's 40 years old, trying to look 20. She's got huge man hands to boot (and it's not just the angle of the screen)
(http://cdn.uncaged.com/marvel/mua2/images/blog/invisible1.jpg)
I'm dissapointed with all skins and character design. the only one that's good is the spiky iceman one. I think the effects will probably save the game.
I really hope they release it for PC. Then at least our community can make right many of the wrongs in the game.

Do you expect everything to be perfect? Yes she does look a little weird but still great.
Yes, I do actually. Given the quality of everything else it seems pretty sub-standard to do such a bad job with faces. Frankly the face and hair are far below industry standards nowadays. When they can't get some of the most important details right they didn't do their job.
Still I think you are expecting to much for absolute perfecty.
That's like me expecting you to do a perfect job on Black Cat's mod with no future updates cause she is perfect, and if she isn't I would come barging in your thread complaining and calling you an amateur modder for her not being perfect.
So I do think you are expecting too much. Do I admit the game could be better yes. Did they do all they could probably not, but I don't expect complete perfection. No one is perfect including me and you. Well except God but I don't want to go to religious matters
Sorry if I sound rude or harsh. I just don't see how you expect them to be completely perfect.
Anyway it seems IW is levitating which gives hope that she doesn't fly but levitate. Same thing I know but they said she can't fly not levitate.

Agree, when you have the technology and the talent you can create amazing models, with decent hair and excellent proportions, (body, faces)
Have you ever seeing the characters of Soul Calibur 4 or Street Fighter 4? I think that all the women (and the men too) of those games looks fantastic, and I don't think that they used strange software and unique tecnology different than the one who was used by VV, especially since both games are for the same consoles than MUA2.
I don't want the same models, but are good examples of what you can make this days.
marvelfan123435, I don't really think teancum expects perfection. I think he's just disappointed like me. If the character design looked like MUA 1, I wouldn't be as disappointed. And since it's a sequel, I think it's fair to expect better instead of worse. An evolution.
We all agree MUA 1 isn't perfect, otherwise we wouldn't have this community dedicated to modifying it. But you don't see people complaining all the time.
I guess most of us just agree that the art in MUA 1 is better.
i agree with that, but people are going into the nitty gritty details when you will probably be seeing these characters from a bird's eye view, not always close up like the screenies (unless gevth get's his hands on this game's codes too), so small details arn't always going to be a big thing. that's my 2 cents worth, anyways.
Quote from: marvelfan12345 on September 09, 2009, 06:49PMSorry if I sound rude or harsh. I just don't see how you expect them to be completely perfect.
Because it happens every single day with next-gen games. Look at Halo 3, look at Gears of War, look at
God of War, look at Infamous, Modern Warfare 2, etc. And clearly they have the skills. When you look at other models, or even parts of the same model you can see that the skill is there, they simply did not follow through. That means for any cutscenes or conversations you'll see all of those imperfections. I could be a lot more forgiving if there weren't any close ups, but there are. Frankly most of the problem in my opinion is that these guys haven't done anything but port games and develop DS/Game Boy Advance games in the last five years - they've just never tackled anything like this.

No its not the same thing, we work with what we have. They have all the tools needed to make the game perfect, to redo and redo whatever they want, shot they can do all new tools and redo the whole game to make it perfect. So no sorry this point is way off.
It doesnt have to be perfect, but it shouldnt be worse than the first game. For the most part MUA1 models were great, except for a couple they were mostly great, and even if they werent at least we had four to choose from.
totally. I mean, it's their job, they're pros and fans like us will pay loads of money to have this game. We have the right to demand quality.
Unlike here, where most of us are amateurs and have a very limited access to everything. Still some people here are so good that they manage to make stuff as good as or even better than the original game for free and on our spare time.
A couple of things:
Sue looks pale because of the lightning of the effects. VV just don't know how to take good in-game pictures.
I don't like coming to this topic and find a whole page with no news.
Please, maintain rationality and don't let this site be like most others, where there are mostly 2 kind of people: the "this game is going to suck", and the VV legionares. I'd like to think the people here will at least rent the game (or at the very least read reviews) before making a judgment on how good this game is.

Don't forget how many models they had to do. Almost 50 only for the playable characters. And the game is mostly bird's-eye perspective. You can't compare this with Soul Calibur 4 or Street Fighter 4.

Neither does her MUA1 version, but at least the models looked better than this garbage. Sue looks like trash in her alternate uniform. I do have to admit though, at least VV is showing consistency in their suck. *claps*

So? Who cares how many models they had to do? Raven pulled it off no problem. I think the models in MUA1 look better than the ones in MUA2 so far, and Raven did MORE than VV did because they did 4 per character, not just 2. There's just no excuse for them being as awful as they are, especially when technology is getting BETTER and their work is getting WORSE.
If I'm going to pay top dollar for a game I want top dollar quality to go with it. Otherwise there's no point in buying it for $60. Now if there were a few changes then I would throw $60 out for the game, if nothing else, just to show support to the company for a good product and a job well done. Hell, I own 2 copies of MUA and XML2, and a copy of XML1. I bought them when they first came out too. Why? Raven did a damn good job with their games and they deserve the support. So far VV doesn't look like they do, they've done a bang up job at making this game look like a pile of crap. I understand people put time in to this game, and I feel very sorry for the programmers. I'm sure they did an awesome job. However, the art side of it screwed up the game for everyone. That's a shame, because I had high hopes for this game and suddenly I don't even want to get it at all. Not even the PS2 version for ripping models for MUA1 mods.
I LOVE IT!!!Im never gonna use her first one now that i saw this one!
I agree with everything Burning Rage and Teancum has said. Raven > VV by a long shot. I can see the reviews for MUA2 going south because of all the steps back compared to the last few games.
She looks like one of those women you see that dress like they are a slutty 17 year old, but are clearly 40.
Indeed. Also the reference pic ain't bad.. The MUA2 version is. Reference looks like a rockstar, which is a cool look. MUA2 looks like more like a.. how should I call it.. "Kim Holland" (in our country)
I expected better work from them.
Well, all of you guys just saying, this is bad and that is bad, but VV made a lots of new things, since MUA. The Alchemy engine has been upgraded in several ways, including Havok physics technology, a new 3D sound system and syncing character's lips to dialogue. I think I'm happier with fewer skins, if they made the gameplay better. For me, MUA 2 will be awesome. On every console.

True. If Raven made MUA2, they would have reused everything. But I want to play MUA2, not MUA1 with a new story.
And I wouldn't enframe the IW pic and nail it onto my wall, but I think it's OK.

I'm not saying the game won't be fun. It just won't be epic, which is what everyone's expecting given the previous game, amount of hype, and quality of
some of the in-game models. I'll rent it and have fun, and if it's actually good and has great DLC I'll probably get it used after the price drops. But I'm not going to hide my disappointment, that's just stupid. It's been built up by the press and VV to essentially be a MUA1 killer, so I'm judging it against that. In my mind MUA1 was around 9.5/10. So far MUA2 has a running score of ~8.0/10 in my world. Gameplay and DLC had better be awesome if they want to live up to expectations. Truthfully I think they just bit off more than they can chew. This is their first next-gen game
(aside from Wii games, but 1) they were all ports, and 2) the Wii is literally just a Gamecube with more horsepower and a Wiimote) and both fans and generic gamers alike expect the very best out of it. Maybe if VV had done a few next-gen games it would've been better for them, but in the end I just don't think they're experienced enough to pull off what we expect.
Long story short: This game will be
fun, but not
awesome. That's the problem. They just aren't living up to expectation for whatever reason.
Quote from: Iron Fist and Deadpool on September 10, 2009, 04:39AM
Well, all of you guys just saying, this is bad and that is bad, but VV made a lots of new things, since MUA. The Alchemy engine has been upgraded in several ways, including Havok physics technology, a new 3D sound system and syncing character's lips to dialogue. I think I'm happier with fewer skins, if they made the gameplay better. For me, MUA 2 will be awesome. On every console.
VV hasn't made anything. The Havok engine has existed for ages. The technology for lip synching and 3D sound has existed for ages. You can count the additions they've made on one hand and the stuff they've changed needlessly on two.
There's no need to fix what isn't broken.
Yes they made. Changes since MUA. I don't care if the technology they use existed already, but it is new, since MUA. So for me, they made something. I just can't wait, to play it. BTW, they will be making downloadable skins, right? I hope I remember well, because that would make the game even better (for those, who have problems with the skins).
Street Fighter 4 has 19 characters, all with alternative skin, so it's almost 40 models. I really don't think that the amount of characters justifies. Think of how many skins people do here. We're not talking bout half a dozen guys developing a game in a basement. We're talking about an industry that makes more money a year than the movie industry. Us fans complaining about the comicbook movies is totally commomplace and that's good cause the makers work harder to please us. Same thing with the game. We're the ones they have to please! Of we don't demand quality, who will?
I wonder. How many skins will the PS2/Wii version will get? I hope it will get more, because from the pics, they didn't work so hard.

You can't compare this with Soul Calibur 4 or Street Fighter 4.
Ugh, i HATED the Street Fighter 4 models, the proportions were horribly off. Ryu, Dan and Ken had bodies like old Zangief, Chun-Li, already notorious for thunder thighs, got even worse, Guile's hair looks like someone stuck a block of cheese on his head and Zangief looked like hes been spending his time between SFA3 and SF4 popping steriods. They should have stuck to sprite fighting, god knows we need a decent sprite fighter, theres only so many times they can re-release Marvel Vs Capcom 2 before people start getting over it.
Street Fighter 3 was 2D, and it was beautiful, a work of art.
Which is exactly my beef with MUA2, there was nothing wrong with the models that we had in MUA. Could the textures have done with a HD makeover? Sure, id agree with that.
Could we have done with new, bigger and possibly more interactive and destructive levels? Aboslutely.
Could there be several new characters added? Sure.
Should there be new powers and abilities added such as phasing and clone generation. You betcha.
New skins? Sweet as.
Should we get a brand new, and even better and more epic story than last time? Cant wait.
Should we get new game mechanics? No.
Do we really need remade models of previously existing characters? Hell no.
In a nutshell, the first MUA was so good, that (i believe anyway) MUA2 should be more of an "updated version" of MUA. Instead of remaking the entire game. There were things in MUA that didnt need to be changed, but they changed it anyway.

Seconded. That's my biggest gripe with MUA2. All that time spent changing things that didn't need to be could have been spent elsewhere, which is why I'm so disappointed.
Quote from: Larcetin-32 on September 10, 2009, 04:52AM
True. If Raven made MUA2, they would have reused everything. But I want to play MUA2, not MUA1 with a new story.
And I wouldn't enframe the IW pic and nail it onto my wall, but I think it's OK.
You forget Raven also made XML1 and XML2. They didn't "reuse everything". Sure they reused some stuff but that's what smart game developers do. They use the stuff that works and change the stuff that doesn't, which allows them more time to focus on new content. XML1 and XML2 were hardly the same, and XML2 and MUA1 were hardly the same. So what makes you think MUA1 and MUA2 would have been the same? Raven made MUA1, so they knew how it was built and would have been the obvious choice to make a MUA2 since they would know exactly what to improve on it.
But anyway, no matter how you sugarcoat or dress up a turd, at the end of the day it's still a turd. So far, that's what MUA2 is, a turd. Raven is still better than VV and did a way better job with their game than VV is currently doing. Considering technology is better now than it was a few years ago, I find that very sad. The game might be fun, sure. But it will be nowhere as good as it could have been had Raven been the ones to make it.
I stop the arguing part of this thread. I wait for GameSpot for the critic. I can't wait for them, especially how they think about the different versions.
Yeah
I'm sick of this discussion :)
Why are we judging this game before it even came out?
All I know is that I'm gonna buy and enjoy it.
Yeah, you've spoken good Larcetin bro! And even, now that I think of it...We really shouldn't care with the stuff others say. If someone wants to know, how good is the game, then he/she have to try it out! Because the only one, who can really judge the game, is yourself.

Yeah your completaly true.And ranting about the game just ruins the thread for some positive viewers here(please no argument about it).
You are right aswell Master :)
I just hope we see Gambit today
Its a discussion board we are here to discuss things. If people dont like what others have to say, then ignore the thread or skip the post. I dont see why some people have problems with others saying the game looks crappy or its going to be bad, you didnt work on it so why should you feel bad about it or feel like you need to defend it? In the end you will buy the game whether we say its sucks or doesnt.
Personally i have some issues with the game, but im sure when i get to play it i'll be over it and just enjoy the game. I think this will be like the XML stuff, were people thought XML1 was a better game but could still enjoy XML2 and all the new stuff.
Yeah same here. XMLI was better but I enjoyed XMLII. I do feel that MUAII is better than MUA and many people will now confront me saying only cause of Jean. Yes that is kind of but I love the idea of fusions, the new costumes, better graphics, advanced power upgrade systems, and the other new playables.
The alt for Capt America is up. It's his WWII look, based on how he was seen in Ultimates #1. It's pretty much sucktastic. I was hoping for Cap's current costume. Oh well, maybe we'll get it in DLC.
http://cdn.uncaged.com/marvel/mua2/images/blog/c1pp23.jpg
Wow, I'm disappointed. I mean, it would be OK if it was one of four skins -- as it is, that was really a bad choice.
I like it, good alt. No model sheet, are they getting lazy :D
Ok but would have liked another costume
Don't really like the goggles, but the rest is really well done. I would have done Winter Soldier as Cap, but at least this one shows the quality they could put into their models.

Animations look stiff and I sure hope the camera can get closer than that
ill prolly get bashed or hated for this although storm is really cool but one thing that i didnt like in her alternate costume is this :

It isnt like VV came up with this design on their own. It's based off of her current look in Astonishing X-men. If you want to bash someone, bash the current artist that came up with that look. Regardless though, I like it. From seeing the previews of how the game plays, it isnt like we are ever going to be playing the game and will have the time to stop and think, "Oh wow Storm looks like a Tranny and has huge hips, oh wow Invisible woman has weird hair and her face is off..." and so on. The previews make the game look very similar to MUA1, if that's the case all the details people complain about wont even be noticable when you are busy fighting and stuff is exploding, yadda yadda yadda.....
Doesn't matter -- the fact is VV picked a costume that people didn't want, which they've done with almost every alternate.
Launch trailer released. Looks pretty cool. My hopes have gone up some.

Iron Man, Gambit and Deadpool's alternate costumes:

There will never, ever, be a costume that everyone wants. With this type of game you simply can not please the masses. In all honesty I'm quite happy with the alternate for her. It wasnt her crappy Ultimate uniform, or the over used punk 80s uniform. It's something we've never seen in a game before. The only one I would have preferred over this one is her Xtreme Xmen costume. Same with Invisible Woman. I dont really care what her hair looks like, or that her face "looks old" which I totally dont see. The look works for what they wanted from the game. A lot of the alts I'm not happy with such as Juggs, Iceman, Iron Fist Capt America the other 3 members of the FF. Others I really like, such as Daredevil, Luke Cage(I may actually use him for once), Jean, Spiderman. The moral of the story is: You can never make everyone happy. Just the way it is.
Deadpool's bad, I like Iron Man's and Gambit looks good for me. Deadpool looks like his Ultimate skin without the mask.
The thing is that there's no choice at all if you hate both costumes for a single character. In the past games there were four costumes for most characters which means everyone is going to like at least one of the costumes. For example, with Dr Strange I don't like any of his costumes except his Ultimate one. If that one wasn't there then I wouldn't have used him at all.
There's just no choice. If you hate one then you're going to use the other. If you hate both then you're screwed over with something that looks like a turd or just ignore them completely and use something else that at least looks satisfactory.
I personally can count the good, memorable costumes on one hand. That's not good when there are nearly 50 overall.
I thought they will make downloadable skins. I mean, it would be good for everyone.

Gambit looks ugly. He has a HUGE nose. Iron Man looks like a plastic toy and I'm sure Teancum will agree.
Also Parker's new voice so irritating on HD Trailer.

Yes on both counts unfortunately. What more bothers me about Gambit though is his outfit. It's just to big of a change on the subtle areas.
Iron Man looks too shiny, like he's a giant mascot for his toy line, but that gives me an excuse to post my fave look of ironman

Gambit looks like an old wizard, something like Very Evil Gandalf... At least from the face.
Ironman looks like an action figure
and Deadpool just looks off.
I don't like the way every single skin so far looks like plastic
I like Iron Man's alt, i dont care for Deadpool, and i hate Gambit's alt. i know the guy hasnt worn something totally different, but his death skin was only for one storyline and he looks like an idiot.

It looks better. We have seen all the alternates now right? The secret character (Fury) will not have any so he doesn't count
I don't know what's the problem, this skin is just great! Fury won't even have an alternate? He is more lame every minute!
Who's problem. I said it looks even better in the new pics.

I've heard a strange rumor that you cant start a new game with saved stats after completing it. Can anyone confirm this.
Where did you hear that rumor?

It's all over gamefaqs and herohq.
Apparently, the only way to play with your old stats (and unlocked characters and skins) is to carry them into Legendary (hardest difficulty), which is in my opinion a stupid downgrade and an unnecessary limitation to the New Game+ mechanic, if this is true.
Yeh I heard it on hhq

This better not be the case. The reasons for not wanting to own this game keep stacking up.
I think I'm headed from skeptical-of-changes to flat-out-irritated. Why did they feel they needed to change everything?
So players get a "new experience"? Just a wild guess...
For some reason I'm glad to have a Wii instead of PS3/360 when I look at this game.
You also can't use cheat codes for the game cause if you do you can't save the game
Quote from: Teancum on September 13, 2009, 01:54PM
I think I'm headed from skeptical-of-changes to flat-out-irritated. Why did they feel they needed to change everything?
You just need to look at the list of games they've made. It's full of shovelware and ports. They obviously felt that they had to prove themselves and what better way of proving themselves by starting from fresh?
The problem with that is the whole engine Raven had set-up was already good enough; it was tried and tested and even when the next game utilising the engine was released there were enough changes to have new mechanics yet still retaining the accessibility of the past games. There's no need to fix that which wasn't broken.
I wonder if VV actually planned to have eight-ish powers and four-ish costumes per character but found that they had snookered themselves with the costly way they had gone about making the four powers and one costume.
V-V, you have messed up
Bad News:
Only first player can unlock achievements, boosts, costumes
If you use cheat codes you cannot save
Everytime you create a new game you must start all over (lose unlocked characters, costumes etc) unless you plan on Legendary

First review:

General reviewer comments
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/marvelultimatealliance2?q=Marvel:%20Ultimate%20Alliance%202
Oh, and I called the fact that they'd rip apart the costume choices:
Quotehttp://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3176029&p=4
And remember when MUA offered up to three alternate costumes per character? Get ready to be content with just one. Granted, they tend to be more detailed than in MUA (such as Spider-Man's Iron Spider variant), but on the flipside, most of the alternates are ones that, frankly, seem pretty lame. Of all the Wolverine alternates to use, you're stuck with the Secret War one that makes him look like a fat Hugh Jackman? Instead of providing the original Speedball outfit, Penance's alternate is...a shirtless and scarred Robbie Baldwin?
Other gripes I called:
QuoteYet, for every stride forward, the game has a tendency to follow said step with a crazy fumble. The ability to switch team members at any time (and not just at save spots) is awesome -- until you notice that both switching characters and even their costumes comes with a noticeable loadtime. Those fusions? Yeah, they're cool, but they actually repeat a fair bit. Despite the "over 200 unique fusions" claim, what you actually see are the same ten or so with a little variation (Spider-Man tends to throw people or objects with his web, Cap tends to refract energy with his shield, and Thor tends to toss up a tornado) -- and some of these fusions are just palette swaps. Or how about the camera; normally, it presents a tighter, more intimate view that shows off the significantly improved production values (such as when a helicopter crashes into a building). But sometimes, especially when it switches from user-controlled to fixed, it becomes a complete hassle (such as a level taking place within a hall-filled interior, and the camera angle emphasizing a doorframe more than your team).
There's also a persistent feeling of oversimplification and semi-stinginess. The variety of powers and items from MUA gives way to a pretty straightforward and predictable power evolution for each hero (you start with two powers, and always unlock new powers at levels five and ten; there are also passive abilities that level up predictably as well). Individual items per character have been replaced with a set of three boosts that apply bonuses to the group as a whole; it's newbie-friendly, but I prefer outfitting and specializing each character individually, rather than blandly applying a universal bonus to everyone.
Not a big surprise really... we talked about that things almost one month ago, yes the game will have great things but compared to MUA1 there's no significant improvements...
And another quote from the reviews:
Quote
I just hope that for the next Marvel Ultimate Alliance (or whatever they call it, maybe "Ultimate Marvel Amalgamation" or something), either Raven returns as the developer, or Vicarious Visions learns from its missteps and crafts a better game.
I hope the same...
I've enjoyed the game and haven't seen anything wrong with it yet. I have 4 of Jean's artifacts so only one more! Besides I enjoy all powers for each character
So I've got a Juggy code if anyone's interested. I had canceled my pre-order, but Gamestop still sent me the code.
Is it a generic code that anyone can use or is there only a limited amount and does it work for both ps3 and 360? I just picked up the 360 version today.
When the code was emailed to me from Gamestop it stated it was specific for just me to use. I think once you activate it, it cant be activated again. At least that's how it seems for the PS3.
On another note, i've been enjoying the hell out of the game. I have Jean Grey unlocked now and she's cool to use. But hands down my favorite character is Storm. She's a beast, and her alternate costume looks pretty friggin awesome in game. Everyone was calling her a tranny, but since you very rarely since the character from the front it doesnt matter. Jean's alt looks pretty good in game too.
I didn't pre-order, and I'd probably feel cheated if I bought the game with one less char, so that's probably one more reason not to buy it.
I would like to have it TC if you don't mind. I'm going to pick up the PS3 version.
The code is 360-only Rage, sorry. Norrin, do you want it?
Ah that would be great Teancum, thanks a lot :bowdown1:

Looks like Cyclops and Hawkeye as DLC are fairly likely:
QuoteFrom Twitter:
@Kain_Raziel Re: Cyclops. Like Hawkeye, he was right on the cusp of making it in. There was no reason other than budget/time.
Okay, this is good news for me :D
Yeah, good news. I wonder if I should wait the release of a Gold Edition or something like that for the PS3 plataform.

I should be able to get you a PS3 code since I got two and the one I recieved by email says you can get a PS3 one in exchange if you still need one ?

I would like one too, please.
I just played the game and finished it. Loved it!!!!!!!! Every character felt good and unique and I can't imagine all the bad stuff I heard about it.
Also the seperate Jean, Thor, and Hulk codes do not disable saving so you can use those.

It's a one-time-use code.
I may have two codes. I preorder and got one and I then put in a real e-mail but a fake code and it seemed to send a code to that fake e-mail.
If my first one works (won't try it till Friday or Saturday) I can send the second one to anyone who wants it.
Also has the patch that makes stuff you unlocked in previous save games available in new save games?????

Well that's definitely good to know. I found the 5 for Jean on my own, but i'd like to try out Thor and Hulk and didnt feel like hunting for their pieces, now I'll just use the unlock codes. Fun times.
Same here. But for Thor and hulk I used cheats as I missed out on a few of their stuff and I wouldn't be able to unlock them.
Teancum says that VV messed it up as it isn't true to the Raven versions but I disagree. It has been updated in new and great ways and that is what you expect in a sequel. Not the same stuff over and over again.
Anyway I love fusions, the ability to change teams anytime, and how at the end you are at a base and can do simulators and replay any mission which stays true to the original mission.
So getting rid of power variety, customisation, individual character equips, more skins and including lame characters is an upgrade?
Can I have some of what you're smoking?
+ different equip slots
They should've add stuff instead of removing stuff. MUA1 would be superb if it had the same stuff (related to character customization) as XML2 + more. MUA2 is even worse. Graphics don't cut it. I like MUA2 BUT MUA1 = much much better than MUA2 and XML2 = better than MUA1 in terms of customization IMO.
Anyway, does anyone have the PS3/360 version and can take some pictures or so?
Renting the 360 version this weekend (hopefully, depending on the wife's plans for me :P). Here's hoping I'll be proven wrong in my skeptical opinions.
Did anyone else find the camera angles to be annoying and mostly stiff? I played through some of the first level and found the maps to be very linear (limited areas where you can move) and sometimes couldn't get the camera in a good position to show my team. Hopefully it improves for the next levels, or maybe I just don't know how to control the camera properly :)
Thanks again to Teancum for the code :thumbsup:
No problem. Enjoy Juggy.
I see the moaning and crying hasnt stopped yet. Just play the game. It's just as much fun as the first MUA.
I am just angry that to download Juggs you must have Gold XBOX live version and I have the free (silver one) I think. So I didn't even get him.

That sir, is why Xbox makes me angry in general. You should not have to pay for an online service that every other console has for free. Especially having a premium service to download *FREE* content with a game you just purchased. Viva la Playstation.
The only thing I thought MUA lacked was indeed the character customization that XML2 had. Spending the points to upgrade the characters yourself was something I liked. There are also no "jack of all trades" type charcters in MUA. You are either Focus heavy, Body heavy, or Strike heavy. That's it. Some characters are well rounded and should have a more even distribution than just a crap ton of 1 stat, and mediocre of 2 stats. You do not get to upgrade the characters in any way other than their powers, that's it. Sure, you get 1 equip but I thought XML1 and XML2 did better with 3, because it gave a greater variety to characters. I DID however like that in MUA you could finally take points out of powers and spend them elsewhere should you decide to upgrade a different power at a later time. That was nice to not have to spend 10,000 and 100,000 in order to do that.
An example of how the 3 archetype character system was a hinder to MUA would be Gambit. I couldn't figure out what character type I should make him in MUA at first, but finally ended up just going with bruiser_light. If I made him support, yeah he'd have a lot of energy and energy regen, but he wouldn't be able to take hits, and for someone that excels at combat that is not an option. But also, if I made him a bruiser that just wouldn't make sense either, Gambit isn't known for his super physical strength, he is more of a finesse fighter. However, in XML2 even though characters have a predetermined "type", they are not locked in to that and are not unchangeable. It was nice that the game gave you some stat points to work with that you could upgrade yourself in addition to the ones that the game applies itself. So I was able to spend points equally in all categories for Gambit, making him a well rounded character who can have a balanced use of melee and power usage.
That was something that if they did in MUA, it would have made it better than XML2 and MUA2 by far. However, I still think it's better than both by comparison, that would've just been icing on the cake.

No you dont I downloaded him with silver.
Does anyone else think that juggernaut is a fun and good character to use ? Because from playing with him on my team for a while he seems better then half of the roster.
Yep, Silver users can always get content.

This topic hasnt been filled with belly aching at all, you are so right! Thank god you put me in my place.
I think the game is just as good as the first one. No each character doesnt have 58 costumes. No they didnt get everyone's favorite costume. No they didnt get everyone's favorite character. They game is still plenty playable. Except for a few small things, to me it's almost more or less just like the first.

Not with me. When I click on him it says need to be gold.
If you ignore it goes back to home.
I think your talking about the other juggernaut download that you can download if you want to play with friends that have him which I think because its only a few days old only gold members can download it.
But to get Juggernaut you press the home/circle button in the middle of your controller and look through the little menu until you find redeem code (Or something like that) and then enter your code.
If anyone needs a Xbox360 Juggernaut code PM me I might have a working one.
That's what someone told me. I'll try it thanks

Fairly objective review. They pointed out all the good, without leaving out the bad, and vice versa. It got about what I thought it would (7.2/10). The jury is still out for me though. It needs a patch to fix bugs and some dang good DLC, but I'm leaning more towards buying than I had been.
Has anyone experienced any of the bugs that Gametrailers review points out? I hadn't heard anything about them yet.

Quote from: ragincajun on September 18, 2009, 10:18PM
Has anyone experienced any of the bugs that Gametrailers review points out? I hadn't heard anything about them yet.
I have had it happened a few times (guys stuck in walls) and I've only played a few hours. One of the bugs I've had happen is that one of the bosses was stuck in 'invinsible mode' when she should have got out of that mode and started a new sequence. I had to restart the boss battle from the start. Just pointing it out in case others are interested.
I only had one glitch with GG in Wakanda where he never went to ground so I couldn't beat him.
I fell through a bridge in Latveria and could hardly escape, but hat was the only bug I encountered.
I've run into two bugs. As soon as I got the final crystal to unlock Jean Grey I immediately switched out Iceman for her. When I tried to go back into the game the screen just went black. Had to power off the PS3 all together and restart. The other one I had was when fighting YellowJacket on the rooftop. He knocked Storm off of the roof top onto the ground below and no matter what I couldnt get her back on the roof top, It was kind of cool to fly around the city though, I had to quit and reload from a save point to finally get it working again. A few minor camera angle issues, but I had the same issues with MUA1 so that was pretty expected. Now that I've beat it in heroic I'm going to try again in Legendary mode and go Pro-reg and see how it plays out.
The camera issues have been present since XML1, so honestly that doesn't surprise me. I thought they would've fixed it in XML2 but it was no biggie, and it was a disappointment for it to last through MUA as well. However, it STILL being an issue in MUA2, even with a new company developing the game, is kind of sad to be honest. However, those camera issues have been in since the beginning. In MUA usually if you double jump the camera resets immediately on the active character and you're ok again, you don't have to run a marathon to get it to reset. However, I'm not sure if this is the case with MUA2, but you might try it *shrugs*. I just read a review saying that they had to run in blind or backtrack very far until the camera finally reset itself, but really if you just double jump it should work. It did in MUA1, XML2, and XML1.
I haven't got any "bugs", yet.
However, the framerate drops quite a bit on the 360 when there is a lot of smoke or when there are a lot of particles on screen.
The only bug I think I got was where all the team you beat fury with wasnt in the final movie/cinematic it had all the same characters except 1.
Noticed that aswell iammingy around the negative zone.
I just had a strange bug. I was in the team menu and changed the colouring in the graphics menu of my TV. Then the team menu freezed and I had to restart everything.

Haha! I KNEW Mingy would come back. Welcome back Mingy :)
a Big Hooray for iammingy! Back to topic :D
I played through the game once so far and the only issues I've encountered were that a number of times heavy particles will cause frames to choke as iammingy noted, and once the game appeared to crash and my screen went green before my PS3 restarted itself.
All told it's been a good experience with MUA2 overall. However, I almost cast it aside after 3 mins of play. The opening few mins felt awkward at first, but I kept going and eventually got invested. I was still rather let down with the limit to 4 powers and only 1 alternate costume for each character. The costumes were the most depressing issue by far, especially given the fact that I didn't care for 22 out of the 24 alternate costumes. I really only like Spider-man's and Thor's alternates. Though the Fantastic Four costumes weren't bad either.
I know they will likely release costume packs via DLC as well as additional characters, but it just feels like a sequel to MUA could easily have twice the number of characters in its roster. But who knows, maybe that's something they will shoot for via multiple DLC packs.

That is Grim Reaper! One of the bosses you fight 3 times in the game :P
Phillip got it in one. Thats Grim Reaper all right, Wonderman's bro.
i love this version i am going to get this for my birthday(the 17th) and a bass guitar
I will buy it in this or in the next month.
It seems we shall be getting DLC news sometime this week.. I went over to Hero Hq to see any DLC news.
Why do you think, that we will get some info on this week?
They said it. It was supposed to be last weekend but some mishap or something and it was cancelled. Now this week or weekened.
Okay :D They should give us the MUA 2 Gold edition aswell, then it would be much better for me. :D And cheaper. :D
Maybe it is a different company so who knows.
Cant wait to see who gets released, i hope its all new characters not already in game.
We will only be getting 2 exclusives at the most for dlc. Hopeluu cyke and either psylocke or shulkie.
For me, I don't care with the other version exclusives :D What I really want is new, unique characters. Playables, who hasn't been in other games, not as playable nor NPC.
Very doubtfully we will get much of those if any. I see several NPCs and of course two exclusives. I wonder if they may include an exclusive who fits the role of NPC too (Shulkie) so I can have that exclusive along with Cyke and Psylocke.
hope we do
My buying this game hinges on whether Hawkeye is DLC. Period.
I'm sure he will be. Both he and Cyke and were supposed to be in so they probably are playable.

Carnage has been revealed as DLC :D :

They also show Cletus Kassady's face.
And also (Talks about how he plays) : http://au.ps3.ign.com/articles/103/1033439p1.html
oh wow, cant wait to see who else makes it. he looks great.
Well at least he seems different from Venom and not just a copy of him. Also his fusion with Songbird looks good.
He looks ok but I would have prefered someone who makes more sense with the story. I defintally see Rogue and Angel now.
DLC characters last time didnt make much sense either. I reckon if he gets a Alt costume it will be Spider-carnage.
True but he just doesn't fit for me. He would make sense as nanite controlled. If they didn't trust Venom why trust Carnage? At least in MUAI we knew Doom was a future Doom.
Wow. I honestly did not see him coming at all. But still, he looks great and should be fun to play as. Should be fun to play with him alongside Spidey and Venom.
Can't say he'd be my first choice. His fusion looks just as generic as all the other ones that do the exact same thing. He looks like he has some cool new powers though.
Really the only thing I dont like about Carnage from the trailer is how his head gets larger for one of his powers but its cool how he eats people (Which is meant to also be one of the fusions).
I like his quotes:
"Your spine: it's what's for dinner"
"It's a scream"
"Dinnertime"
"It's more fun when they fight back"
Now, I think he looks awesome!

WOW! This is awesome!
Carnage looks interesting. But, as Teancum, I'll need to have Hawkeye as dlc in order to buy the game. Hawkeye AND Cyclops. War Machine would be nice, too.
The reveal and Alt costume for Carnage is now up on the MUA2 site and his Alt is Ultimate shouldve guessed which looks pretty cool.
There is also going to be 5 characters in the first pack.
His lunge attack is like Venom's special move from Marvel Versus Capcom and his "Symbiote Surprise" move is taken directly from Spider-man Friend or Foe. Still, he looks very bad ass!!! To be honest, Carnage from Ultimate Universe never looked as cool as the alternate costume. haha
Instead of his range move where he throws a axe it shouldve been like how he shoots the little bits of symbiote like in the comics and maybe instead of his multiple axe slash attack he has multiple weapons and change's weapon for every hit/attack.
It seems like the DLC might be more geared towards "fan service" rather than any attempt to make sense with the overall storyline.
DLC is just another opportunity to make more cash. They will pick the most wanted ones for sure.
This game isn't meant to be an exact copy of the Civil War storyline in the first place any way. If you think Carnage is not a good choice for DLC, then a lot of (playable) characters are already out of place in the game already. I have a feeling that Sentry might probably make it.
Guess we have to start working on Carnage for MUA1 then eh? :P

DLC comic missions?
He looks just awesome in that video :)
What?? Comic missions are confirmed in the video? I can´t watch the video right now because I´m on the PS3.
Who do you think will be the other 4 characters?
I´m hoping for Cyclops and Nova.
No, nothing else were confirmed in the video, just that Carnage will be cool and insane as he has to be (Like it where he says "Dinner time!") :) I'm hoping for Nova aswell, but I would prefer Hawkeye.
I hope Cyke, Psylocke, She-Hulk, and Spider-Woman. A dream come true for me
Well wake up and wait for them...if those will be done, that is.

As if you needed another reason to pick up your controllers and jam on some "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2" again, a slew of new characters and sim missions are on their way to Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers.
Well, good for us.
DLC has been leaked from the new video on gamespot its Carnage,Cable,Psylocke,Magneto and Black Panther.
Picture : http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a68/Bionicflmer/mua2DLC.jpg
Video : http://au.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/marvelultimateallianceiifusion/video/6233249/today-on-the-spot (The video is about a PC game and MUA2 DLC).
And from what I read in the thread there is some form of boss survival mode or extra missions coming with the pack , I cant watch the video atm because of my slow internet.
If this is what the pack turns out to be Ill most likely just be getting it for Carnage,Cable and maybe Magneto.
How many leaks has MUA2 has so far ? :laugh:
Neat. I think. I hate BP.
They're really bad at hiding stuff from the public.
EDIT: if you look at that roster, you can already tell that they are reusing stuff AGAIN. BP = Mua, Cable = XML2, Psylocke = XML1, Magneto = MUA/XML2... Carnage is like the original in the roster.
I was surprised to hear about him getting in.
So we get 1 new character , 1 console exclusive , 2 MUA1 characters , 2 MUA2 NPC's wonder if this will kinda be a recurring theme for the DLC packs.
EDIT: Just saw your thing about re-using characters after posting.

Thanks for the links Venom. Cable seems out of place in the picture/selection screen, like he's all alone.
Your welcome.
I hope there will be a gold edition for Wii/PS2 after several DLC packs. XD We deserve it!
I hope so because they have all ready said about not getting DLC for the N-Space versions which could mean we still get a Gold edition plus extra goodies for mods and its not really fair for one console to get DLC.
were in that video is there stuff for the DLC characters?
Thats pretty awesome about Cable and Psylocke
6:04 I read.
Also the video is meant to mention psylocke and 2 sim missions coming next week but then at the end says the pack comes out at the end of the year so some sort of confusion.
Description of 2 sim missions:
"They then show sim mission 1, which is in a room with like flame traps with spawning bosses—each boss you beat adds time to the clock.
Sim mission 2 has a long hallway and your team is in-between two moving energy fields—you have to fight down the hallway while remaining between the two energy walls as stronger and stronger enemies attack." - Hero Hq forums.
Out of my main 4 I wanted I only got 1 but I'm very happy. BP, Cable, and Magneto are welcome additions for me. I love Psylocke's powerset too! Hope her alternate is her 80s costume. Is it true that she will be released in a week???
Well, this is interesting. Still, it keeps me wishing there were more packs released in the future.
I do think we may not get them. People who hate the pack won't buy but they don't realize that their added money is what will convince VV to add more characters and most likely the characters they want. At the end it will be the people who wanted Hawkeye or Cyclops that prevented us from getting them. I've heard rumors that this is only the beginning and they will continue to make packs but most likely only if they buy.
This is fun, the complete DLC list is leaked... again!
I can't believe it, but seriously guys VV is the worst company in terms of marketing that I've ever seen, the supposed exclusive characers were leaked, Jean, was leaked, many alternate costumes were leaked, damn even the stupid final boss was leaked! and now the DLC... bye bye to the surprise I guess...

A lot of "leaks" are. It's free publicity, and they don't have to advertise. You don't think stuff like this would seriously be leaked out without the devs knowing would you? It's not like someone hacks their computers and puts this stuff online. They purposely make it so someone "discovers" it and "leaks" it to the media.
Gotta say I loved Psylocke's pics...!
@Iammingy : Your welcome , Looking at MUA2 DLC has really been the only thing ive been doing for the last couple of hours lol.
@NDJR : Probably not until they are revealed on the MUA2 main website or Gamespot decide to post more.
@BR : And they were given the DLC with the other 3 characters Im sure if they wanted it secret they wouldnt of gave them the whole DLC pack.
Imo Psylocke looks kinda fake.
Yay! Black Panther!
Well, I still hope, that there will be a sixth DLC. So, Psylocke will be on the official site next week I think and maybe they will put them on the site, like one on a week or one in two weeks.
BTW, happy because of Carnage, Cable and Psylocke. I like Black Panther, so this is good, but I don't really like Magneto. Still, happy that there isn't any Doom :D
Loving that Psylocke is in. Not loving her costume :/
Hope she has her New Exiles costume, then i'll be happy :)

I want that one too, or her House of M skin
DLC choices are nice. Magneto would most likely be Anti. I'm pretty sure that while he hates humans he would have respect for Cap and would never side with the government.
No, I could see Magneto helping the pro side, if this is to incite the war between mutants and humans. lol
Actually I didn't think of that. But as Anti it would also be a war, he wouldn't have to work with the government, most likely would be on Xavier's side, and on the side with more mutants
Yeah. The Magneto "hero" would tend to fight alongside Cap. The "villain" aspect of the character could act the way I imagined.
yeah i wonder what her costume is hopefully her watx
Is it possible that new costumes will be available to DLC? Just to mention an example, I'd love to have Spidey's black costume... But I could list many more!
Anybody interested in Psylocke's alt?

I like it, but you know, for a British woman transfered to a Japanese body, she might be trying a little too hard to mingle in...

Hmmm, I actually like that one, though I don't think I've seen it before. Has anyone posted pics of Carnage's alt? I'd like to see that.
I love it, its her House of M custome.
So far this is the best alternate costume that I ever seen on this game. She looks great.
This alt is great! I'm so in for this Chinese dragon stuff :)
Carnage's alt is visible in Venom's signature TC.
It makes me think that VV is doing specific alt costumes to impress people of their graphical qualities instead of keeping it theme-based (like secret war). Psylocke's alt is full of details. Which is cool btw..
01. Halo 3: ODST (Xbox 360) - 1,520,000
02. Wii Sports Resort (Wii) - 442,900
03. Madden NFL 10 (Xbox 360) - 298,600
04. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS) - 258,100
05. The Beatles: Rock Band (Xbox 360) - 254,000
06. Madden NFL 10 (PS3) - 246,500
07. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (Xbox 360) - 236,000

09. Guitar Hero 5 (Xbox 360) - 210,800
10. The Beatles: Rock Band (Wii) - 208,600
Some stats in the USA, September. Well, they sold some.
Sales across all platforms so far (from VGChartz):
DS: 0.02m
PS2: 0.08m
PS3: 0.27m
PSP: 0.03m
Wii: 0.07m
XBox 360: 0.40m
Total: 0.87m
Japan: (Not released)
USA: 0.75m
Other: 0.12m
Also, the first MUA has sold something like 4.04m across PS2, PSP, Wii, PS3 and 360.
Okay, but this game is kinda new at the moment, so the numbers will grow.
The difference between the two sales-wise is that MUA1 had a slow but steady sales whilst MUA2 had large amounts of sales in the first week and then the sales have decreased at a more rapid rate than MUA1 had in that time.
E.g. First four weeks of sales for the 360 version:
MUA1:
1: 59k
2: 33k
3: 21k
4: 20k
MUA2
1: 201k
2: 73k
3: 43k
4: 20k
The next six weeks for MUA1 are between 25k and 31k.
Can't believe they got higher than Arkham Asylum.
Yeah, this is what I can't believe aswell. Everywhere I just read, that Batman: Arkham Asylum is like a Game of the Year and stuff.
That Psylocke costume is awesome! I'm looking much more forward to Psylocke now!
yeah i wonder what her alternate is

Another thing that has to be considered is that while MUA2 looks like they sold more than MUA1 initially, it's because MUA2 had more advertising and was set up with higher standards due to Raven's MUA1 success. If if weren't for Raven, MUA2 sales wouldn't have been as much as they were. People were expecting an awesome game because of MUA1. Honestly I didn't even know about MUA1 until after it was already released. MUA2 I heard about it well ahead of time because of the advertising which was due in part to the success of MUA1 so Activision wanted to get the word out. So long story short, thank Raven's MUA1 success for MUA2's sales. Too bad VV bottomed out and fucked it up though.
yeah when i stumbled upon this site i learned it was released
It should also be noted that MUA1 had a HUGE sales explosion part way through its life. A lot more exponential than the first week of MUA2.
I think MUAII had more letdowns than MUA but MUAII in my opinion had more new and successful stuff which others seem to forget.
It may have more new stuff but there's a lot more stuff that was simply left out for no apparent reason.
I had fun working w/ mua2 so I may do an Iron Man booster giving him his mua2 powers (uni-beam and rocket launcher). I don't know if deedoo is still making his iron man booster but mine is the mua2 version and will be different than his
i'm still chugging away at it. figuring out some...stuff...that's going wrong. good luck with yours!
on topic: psylock looks awesome!

I think every single MUA2 character is in the process of being converted so unless we say something hasn't been taken up then you probably shouldn't do it. I know for a fact that Iron Man has already been taken up by Blizz.
Then never mind him either. Also why did I post that here? I could have sworn I posted that in my thread
i have MUA2 for the 360 and i love it!!!!! the fusions get a bit stale after a bit and i miss the special xtremes for each character but it's still amazing. i like it much more than MUA1 and i feel that it was a few steps back but a steps in the right direction. i would have preferred they kept the xtremes but thrown in fusions as a plus. the four powers per character really didn't bother me either since each move was pretty unique to his/her abilities unlike MUA1 where a lot of stuff was redone with different effects. the graphics are beautiful too. would rather have had a different secret character but all the other guys are so much fun i really don't mind lol. can't wait for psylocke!!!
Psylocke's alternate is House of M.
I always hated the costume but it looks really good especially the dragon. The the removal of the Crimson Dawn mark is even better.
Cable DLC trailer
http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/14233937/marvel-ultimate-alliance-2/videos/MarvelUA2_trl_012209.html
Cable looks good. Love how they included the fusions for him w/ his partner Deadpool and mother Jean (in my opinion she is his mother as she has the same genes and DNA that Maddie had so they are the same in some ways). The Deadpool and Cable fusion looks very cleaned up even though it really is the same as the other clearing fusions like it.
I guess like mother like son for me
He looks good, i love seeing both Jean and him together. Im loving the DLC, now i want this game :(
Now, that's some DLC I'd like to get my hands on.

I don't understand why you would think of the community like that just based on one person's opinion.
I am a big Thunderbolts fan. I liked it even more since issue 110. Although Songbird isn't my favorite, she's in my list of top 10 Marvel hotties that I really like. :D
Quote from: Death the Kid on August 10, 2009, 11:31AM
Well yeah, but that phasing power will be hard, if they would make her go through every wall.
in justice league heroes martian manhunter phases so its possible to do
That's a totally different game.
Phasing could be done if they just make it part of the attacks, not something you can do all the time. Like for an attack she goes through and enemy and punches them in the back of the head or something like that, but have her solid most of the time. That or control phasing like they do with teleporting, so she can just run through the whole level or out of maps.
Or she phases her hand through the head of an enemy and squeezes his brain :drool1:
I think Martian Manhunter does something like this in JLH.
Cable's profile is online and a video has been released, viewable at marvel.com
He looks like he's made of plastic. The Wii model looks better IMO.
It sounds stupid, bit I like the plastic look. With the right TV settings the PS3 models almost look like real action figures.
I like the graphics, especially this plastic-like characters :D Really, when I was younger, I played with action figures a lot.
Some DLC info: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/marvelultimateallianceiifusion/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-51992015&pid=951211&tag=topics;title
Includes:
-reasons for choosing characters (Black Panther got in because Marvel said so)
-reasons why some characters weren't included (Hawkeye didn't get in because he wasn't a top-poller, and they didn't want more than 1 repeating DLC character, compared to MUA1 DLC)
-Date: 360 - november 5th; PS3 - november 5th or 12th. If all goes well.
Okay, they didn't want more than 1 repeating DLC character.. Do Hulk and Venom count? They were DLC and in MUA2 now? (Hulk is Iconic, that I can understand, he should've been in the roster from the start)

This is from the BP article: "Additionally, the previously GameStop-exclusive character Juggernaut will be available for download as a standalone download on the 5th, for 160 Microsoft points and $1.99 on the PSN store."
As for "what we want", what we want is Carnage, according to most people who answer polls.
It seems we would have Rogue if she was easier to make
I want Rogue, Emma Frost, and Punisher. I don't see why VV are having problems doing Rogue, Raven was able to do her no problem. Since MUA2 recycles a lot of stuff from MUA1, why not go back and get the old code for Rogue?
Possibly because they want to remaster her and make her good. If they just use her XMLII version I refuse to buy her as I'm sick of that version. Just took her out of my roster as I don't like playing with the same Rogue in different games. Exactly why I am waiting for the Rogue mod you will be making Rage.
Well I was meaning the absorbtion power. I don't understand how they haven't figured it out yet, but they could borrow the code from XML2. It would be nice if everything were different beyond that.

If that then ok. That should be borrowed. Another reason I don't use Rogue much in MUA cause that ability does not work. Hopefully that problem can be fixed.
QuoteCARNAGE - Carnage was a fun add to the game because he's ALL NEW to the whole MUA franchise, and actually ranked #1 in our polls and surveys and other things among Marvel characters not previously in MUA or MUA2. He's pretty recognizable on a mass appeal basis. We were particularly concerned about making sure Carnage played differently from Venom and I think the team did an amazing job delivering on that.
WTF? Carnage, recognizable on a mass appeal basis? NOBODY, from my girlfriend, to my mom, to my friend at work, nobody even knows the character. OK, he ranked high on a specific poll, but that's quite far from "mass appeal".

Well, who's more likely to get DLC: yout girlfriend, your mom, your friend at work or that 25 year old guy who grew up watching the Spider-Man animated series, and just so happens to be earning his own money, enough to assist to comic-con and answer some random poll?
I'm probably in the minority but I don't like Cable. I think he's over hyped and as far as more interesting Marvel characters are concerned, a poor choice for DLC. Carnage is just a stupid character I think. I mean sure a psychotic serial killer who mutters lines like "dinner time" might be amusing for all of 30 seconds, but seriously we already have Venom playable in the game. I've had my fill of Spider-Man playable villains, and they had to add another? To me Carnage isn't appealing whatsoever. It still annoys me to no end seeing villains in the "HERO select menu".
If VV are that gung-ho on making villains playable, then maybe they should come out with a villain game like MUA, except you control the villains who are fighting the heroes for control of the world. I dunno. I'd just rather see other hero characters who are more deserving of a spot in the game than some random over hyped and uninteresting villains. Like Punisher for instance, how did they make 2 MUA games and not include him yet? Blasphemy I say. That's just unacceptable.
THQ still has exclusive rights to Punisher for a few more years.
Back on topic - I'm pretty much set on not buying the game now. Too bad, I was really looking forward to quality DLC, but from the looks of it the data shows that totally random, semi-popular characters are better than classic staples. If it comes out on PC I'll buy it, but no more 360 version for me. It's a definite rent-n-return.
QuoteI've had my fill of Spider-Man playable villains, and they had to add another? To me Carnage isn't appealing whatsoever. It still annoys me to no end seeing villains in the "HERO select menu".
Seconded. Why not a Daredevil crazy killer villain? We'd all love to have Bullseye instead of Carnage, no? Taskmaster? Deathstrike, maybe? Having Spiderman and Venom playable in the same game is overkill already.
They messed up the bodystructure again :\ I'm wondering why they are going for tall upperbodies and small legs...
Suit is nice though. And he has a different look from his main skin.

Nice work on the costume, VV. The only critique I can give this time around are that his arm doesn't look like steel, but more like ice (should be shiny and more silver-y) and his face has become a little
too tough, making him a bit old and similar to Walter Matthau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Matthau).
Off-topic from Cable but still on the subject -- I just want to say
for the record that I think Vicarious Visions did a good job overall. The problem is that this game was too big for them, and they subsequently couldn't live up to expectations. Now if they had, say 1.5 times the amount of people (and wouldn't let their less talented modelers do character models) then they could have made this game epic. I feel like it deserves it's 73% average rating -- but that if they had more people and better talent it could have easily been 90% or more. It's just one of those "so close, but so far away" situations. That's why I get so irritated. They could have done so much better, but they bit off more than they could chew.
Don't forget to mention that his face looks like it was made out of rubber.
It's got to be just 1-2 bad modelers that have done these terrible models. Most characters look awesome, it's just probably 10-15 human/biped models total that have strange issues. Like Black Widow.... WOOF WOOF!
Comic version:

Yeah, the only two models I really don't like are Black Widow and Maria Hill (Because her skin has no structure, it's only one colour).

Actually, my gf's brother is a gamer, has played mua2 on ps3 with me, didn't know Carnage, but won't get DLC anyway because he just didn't like the game very much. So you might be right: the majority of people who'll get DLC for MUA2 does have to have some kind of passion for these characters. But even then, Carnage feels like a mistake to me, because there were better choices left, but I know that's a whole different point.
What do you guys think about Black Panther? I don't like his sword.

What do you guys think about Black Panther? I don't like his sword.
I dont like the sword either (im guessing its suppose to be the Ebony Blade), i've been reading Black Panther since Storm married him and i can only remember him using it during the skrull invasion. I think of him more as an agile clawed fighter, then a sword wielding fighter.
I gotta say I dug it. I could live with BP as a sword wielding fighter. (Since I pretty much grew up watching japanese super-heroes - many, many of them, sword wielding figthers themselves -, I tend to like this kind of aesthetic.)
I don't have anything against heroes with swords like Black Knight, but I think it doesn't fit well on Black Panther. He uses his claws in one power and in the other one he uses the sword. That's a weird fighting style.

I agree with you on this.
So far, I like Carnage, Psylocke and Cable. I like their alt skin aswell. I hope the last two of the five will be good too.

ehm, BP is one of the two and the list has been leaked already? ;o
Every characters besides Magneto has been officialy confirmed
I can't wait. Especially for the alt costumes.
Magneto has been officialy confirmed, but we just haven't seen a video or picture of him yet.
I can't wait either. And PS3 in Europe has to wait on week longer!
Hero Hq hasn't officially confirmed him but we do know he is in.
I wanted to write this :D Nah, I just wanted to write, that it's not official, but we know he will come.
It is official because News Lad and Kalina already talked about Magneto. They said he will be very powerfull and a blast to play.
They did?? Oh yeah I forget they did.
Well, still, we know he will come, so just wait.
And a pic of the char select menu also has been leaked, apparently it wasn't fake.
BTW, at the moment I am like "I don't care who is the DLC, if they are good in the game". But really! I don't like Jean Grey, but she is always in my roster :D
Yeah me too. In XML1/2 and MUA, I always had one or two characters i never liked to play as. But in MUA2, all the characters are fun, even if I don't really like them.
The only character not fun for me in MUAII is Penance
I didn't like him either when I first unlocked him, but if you know how his powers work he's great.
For me, all of the characters are fun to play as. My favourites are Thor, Deadpool, Iceman and Jean Grey (this is my current roster. I like using them).
I usually switch around but one very good team to use is Wolverine, Ms. Marvel, Jean, and Thor. You get mental, energy, physical, and elemental damage. Plus fliers, bruisers, and a healer. Wolverine can be swapped in by Iron Fist if you want the entire team to be healed rather then one member.
The team I use on hard is Thor, Juggernaut, Wolverine and Songbird/Human Torch.
On Super Heroic I always choose random characters :)
Can't wait for DLC to come out. Then I will have six new characters (six, because I haven't used the Juggernaut code, but I will, when I buy the DLC).
Does anyone know when Magneto will be revealed with pics and video?
Possibly sometime this week
The DLC will be avaliable at November 5...

Awesome!!
So, Black Panther is not in the first batch of DLC...? Hmm...
He is, it just says including.
That scared me for a sec..... haha
Thanks.
I have to wait until November 12.
I dunno how long I have to wait. I have to get money for buying the stuff. Damn you cash!
I don't have to wait because of the money, but because of this:
Quote from: News LadThe news you've been waiting for is here: the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 downloadable content will be available November 5th on XBOX Live (worldwide) and Playstation network in America, November 12th for Playstation Network in Europe.
Damnit.
Good for me, cause I have XBOX 360, but still, the lack of money...

It´s something like Holy Armor.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but PC Iron Fist is missing some power effects (dragon effects), at least in Xbox. Compare him with his NPC version playing Pro-Registration and the videos below:

Awesome, happy he is in now
He looks great, but I don't like how a lot of games portray him as not having pupils. I know it's just an art style, but I like the more human Magneto from the X-Men cartoon.
he looks good
Agreed also from the video it looks like he has that skin from the Xmen legend games (Is it ultimate ?) and his normal/classic skin.
Yeah, it's ultimate. In the character page of MUA2 official site, his portrait is based on his ultimate costume.
He looks great!
Magneto's alt is out! It's like his classic costume :D

They took their own spin on things once again, but I kinda like that costume.
Khm-Khm... (I tried coughing) I quote: "Bryan Shutt – Art Director
Magneto’s costumes have an interesting back story. My original plan was to create an updated “classic” version for the primary costume and go for something more contemporary as the alternate. Both costumes were inspired by Gabriele Dell’Otto designs.
For the updated classic costume I found this neat little pencil sketch Dell’Otto created at a convention in Essen, Germany 2006 as part of his Marvel Heroes Portfolio of work. It shows Magneto in what looked to me like a military commander’s uniform for some sci-fi movie; formal yet snappy.
This appealed to me because I didn’t want to do the “undies-over-tights” look. I was going for something more believable and this particular piece really hit the mark. The sketch did not show a complete body but it was enough to give us some cool ideas so we ran with it.
Instead of briefs I wanted his outfit to look like it had a belted jacket with short flaps in the front and back. These jacket flaps became a sticking point for Marvel, who were concerned it wasn’t “classic” looking enough and that this costume feature had never been seen before in any version of Magneto in the comics (Marvel gives us tons of freedoms with embellishing existing features, but they prefer to keep to the visual precedence that has been set whenever possible). However, I felt that it was a strong design and worked well with Magneto’s image. Around this time we were just finishing up a first pass on the proposed alternate costume. This time it was adapted from another of Gabriele’s designs - Cover art from Ultimate Origins #3. This costume had a fresh, contemporary look for Magneto. His mostly black leather attire felt simple yet sinister with only a flash of color on the helmet and cape. "
Well, I quoted the whole thing here :D (For the ones, who are not a VIP on the official site and are interested in this)
I'm not too keen on the jacket flap things.
Outfits looks army like, but nice. He himself seems to have the face of the Blob.
Its alright for me, not really classic, but a cool modern update.
Loved the costume. Magneto's look does need a fascistic aesthetic.
Magneto plays good. His powers are based on controlling and creating metal. I'm happy he is in. Psylocke is nice but can be killed very easily. Cable is also nice, but I haven't used enough of him yet to say much. Panther is very good. Is awesome at melee and can devestate enemies. A different Wolverine indeed. Carnage only activated his powers. Half of powerset is Venom's.
QuoteMagneto's look does need a fascistic aesthetic.
Actually, no, it doesn't. I'm more of a fan of the 80s Magneto - broken, repentant, teacher of young X-Men and solver of crises. Something the subsequent writers (Morrison especially, I particularly loathe most of the things he did with mutantity) mucked up as much as they could.
Has anyone downloaded the DLC ? I was planning on getting it but forgot to save some money for it :P
I think MarvelFan12345 downloaded it, or just seen it somewhere.
I downloaded it last night as well. It's really fun to play with. The new simulator missions are really fun, especially Insidious Alliance and Overload. The characters are great additions. Carnage and Panther are great at slashing away at enemies, while Psylocke and Cable are really great with the energy attacks. Magneto is just amazing. They did a wonderful job with him. Also, one thing I really like is how you get the DLC character's alternate costume. Black Panther and Psylocke get they're costume the usual way, defeating a certain amount of enemies. But Carnage, Cable and Magneto get their costume a really cool way. (I can state the ways if you want)
Here are some gameplay videos for anyone who still has to wait for DLC (like me):

Carnage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IluSqRy4BF4&feature=related#movie_player
nice power sets i'm loving them
I wait for them, to try them out. Nothing is better, than your own experience.
Psylocke and BP get costumes from defeating 50 enemies. For Cables' you must defeat Deadpool with Cable on your team. For Magneto, you must defeat Magneto in the new simulator mission with Magneto on your team (I pretend the Magneto you fight is Xorn, and the Magneto you play is the real one). For Carnage, you must defeat Carnage in the new simulator mission with Carnage on your team.
is there any place were the new dlc powersets are typed out?

Well... I think it comes back to the hero/villain dichotomy that lies underneath the character. What you said implies you favor his "hero" aspect. I'm at middle term. I think he COULD work not as a villain, at least not always, but he could be occasionally playing the role of an anti-hero. But his look should always reflect his anger -- which is exactly the factor that makes him a monster, despite every possible original good intention of his. We could discuss it further at the OT forum.

Yup, those are the ways. I'm glad to see that they didn't go the usual way for earning costumes with Magneto, Cable and Carnage. Anyway, I am already going through the game with new DLC. I'm still very impressed with them. They were all executed peferctly, IMO.
So... News Lad said that they are definitely going to make more DLC if they get the green light from Marvel/Activision!
I hope they will add some new skins (like Wolvie's yellow-brown classic and Deadpool's classic skin :D ). Oh, and I'm hoping for Hawkeye, Nightcrawler (we need teleporters) and Colossus :D
He also said that Hawkeye and Cyclops (and probably Nova) have the best chances of getting in.
Wahoo! That would be cool! I like Hawkeye and Nova (and for them, I don't have a problem with Cyclops).

Hopefully the DLC sells well, as that's 100% the factor in making more.
And what would make you happy in the next DLC pack? For me, as I said earlier, I would be happy if there would be new costumes, Hawkeye, Nightcrawler and Colossus. If one of these things would be in, then I would buy it for sure! :)
Nightcrawler would be awesome, but I don´t really unserstand why some people want Colossus or She-Hulk. They are great characters, but they just don´t really bring anything new to the game.
Yes that is right, but I love Colossus, with his great accent :D BTW, we really need teleporters.
Yeah we have any bruisers but I like Shulkie so I hope we have her. I don't see Nightcrawler since he died in MUA and that is the canon version announced by VV.

Dude, who cares with that? They made Cable and he is playable on pro side aswell, cause he is like "comes from another dimension". They can say something like that with Nightcrawler aswell. Besides, I don't really want She-Hulk, because not that she is a bruiser, but she is just a female version of Hulk. If they put in another heroine/female villian, then they should put in someone more unique.
The only character who is 100% dead is Namorita.
Yes, because she was killed in this story. But they could bring her in via "another dimension". To tell you the truth, the only characters, who can't be playable are the ones, who are too big. The others can be explained somehow.

They could shrink them. Everything is possible if they have the licence for the character. Remember they were able to do Superawesomecyborgrobonanite-Fury (Alias "The PWNer).
Yeah if they had licence they could make even someone like Batman. Which, for me, would be a big disappointment. Though I have to say that Nightcrawler would be awsome! :D

Well, it would look creepy, to play with a 2 centimeters (did I wrote this correctly? :D ) tall Galactus :D
Any word if there will be any fixes available for Green Goblin in the PS3 plataform? That one should be for free, really...
But on a lighter note, I'm happy it's still possible that they make Hawkeye and Cyclops.

Totally agree.
There`s still no DLC in the european Playstation store. That sucks.
Well, I think I will get the DLC in a week or two. Can't wait :D :)
DLC is out for PS3 EU and guess what... it doesn't work because I have a preordered (US) game... bullshit.
Been giving this more than just a trivial play through on the 360. I just can't recommend it. Most of the characters voices stink. Spidey, Nick Fury, Captain America, Gambit... yeah - they suck. I like the new "next gen" graphics, but when fighting a boss it's really tough to see which one is the boss. Raven always picked color schemes for levels that would make the boss stand out. Not so here. The controls are similar to the original, but it still feels really funky lots of times - like the controls just aren't as tight.
I can't bring myself to finish it. I've played through it on the DS, so it's not the story that's killing me. It's every other thing about this game. I'm utterly disappointed. I thought giving it a real chance would be worth the trouble. It's not.
I don't know, for me, the game is just awesome. I just started another playthrough this morning (third or forth).
I also liked the game. It might've been annoying on some points, but other than that, I loved it.
I've played the game many times now and I still love it. I admit that the game could be longer, more costumes, more powers, more unique fusions, and more characters (Cyclops, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Woman). But I still love it as much as MUA.
I'm going to give it a full play through. I'm pretty disappointed right now, but then again I didn't like Web of Shadows until the plot really got moving.
I'm sorry but the PS3/360 just seems too glitchy to hold my attention - I played it at a cousins house. The PS2, for all its short-comings, at least has the characters I want and doesn't keep crashing and refusing to work ><
I'm not trashing the game itself, it's alright... nowhere as entertaining as MUA1... but its solid. Like Teancum said... I'm disappointed
I think the game is great, but I dont think it is better then the First. If you think about it, there really isnt anything marvel about it. I get that there are some villians from Marvel, but other then them it has nothing to do with Marvel like the first was all about Marvel like you had to stop the villians, But the second one is not and I also think its dumb that the wii and ps2 versions are not the same as the xbox and ps3 versions.
I'm starting to think that MUA felt a bit more like a marvel game but I still wouldn't say it was better. The 360/Ps3 version updated a lot of stuff that was really good but it also took some stuff away. But to me the lack of skins and powers aren't that bad. I feel that the powerset is better with only four and I preferred fusions. The shorter roster and storyline was annoying though.
Ya I mean I really do like it, but I just cant say I like it more, and for me I like The real super powers more not the fusions and I wish The would have had more costumes but thats just me. And Like you said above I do wish they had more characters Like Spiderwoman since she was one of my favorites in the first I also like firestar and she hulk who were in the game just non playable.
The only thing I really hated was thor"s voice.it was horrible.she hulk and invisible woman had rubbery hair and no textures in it.I think for another mua game they should include some characters and mods from this website.like if there gonna make emma frost playable they should use whitekings emma frost.I'm sure they could just ask permission right?
That would be a good Idea I just think they need more characters!
Especially characters people want like emma frost,dark phoenix,cyclops,dazzler,spider woman etc
Dark Phoenix is techincally Jean so I wouldn't say we need her again. But I really wanted Spider-Woman, Elektra, Cyclops, She-Hulk, Dr. Strange, Hawkeye, Silver Surfer, and Scarlet Witch. I doubt I would get them all.
All the characters you listed are the ones I want She Hulk, Spiderwoman, Silver Surfer, Cyclops, Hawkeye, Emma, Scarlet Witch,Dr strange, Elektra I would like to See Firestar playable I always thought she was cool and I would like to see Shadowcat and Dazzler in a game for once, and Polaris!
Firestar would be awesome too. I love Dazzler, Shadowcat, and Polaris but they are more likely in a future XML game. They would be cool though if they were playable in MUA.
I know right why cant they put different people in! I just hope and XML3 comes out
Polaris would have been better than Magneto. Lots of people were asking for her on Hero Hq and I didn't see many people wanting Magneto. Then we would have a X-Women team then. And she would make more sense in the game as I doubt Magneto would take sides and Havok was included as an NPC.
Ya I wish the put Polaris in we need more Girls in the games instead of guys all the time!
And less wolverine.I mean I'm a fan of him but I just don't like seeing his face in every marvel reated game.i'd rather see more of storm,scott,emma frost,jean heck throw in she hulk
Well, I'm sure, that if there will be future MUA/XML games, they won't come in here and ask permission about, "can they use this and this mod"? Plus, I'm sure, that if Emma Frost will appear in any future MUA/XML game, than she will be in XML, either as a playable, a boss or a normal NPC, but if she would appear in MUA, than I'm sure, she would be boss or NPC. As I said a lot of times before: MARVEL: Ultimate Alliance, not X-Men: Ultimate Alliance. I mean, in a MUA game, they should use just a very little of X-Men (Like a maximum of 4, so that they can be used as a team, maybe a bit more with DLC), and more solo heroes or other non-mutant teams. Although, if they will announce, that they won't make an XML game again, but they will make MUA games, than I don't care who they use. As long as there is a chance for an XML game, than they should keep the mutants for that.
P.S: The People love Wolverine, the People want Wolverine, as long as they pay, the People WILL GET Wolverine. This how the world of money goes.
In MUA we will likely see X characters we have seen before. Wolverine, Jean, Storm, and Iceman are a must now. The first 3 for popularity, Iceman for his ice powers. Cyclops, Gambit, Magneto, and Psylocke could very likely be in if there is room.
They just need to think more about the people they put in and put more differnet people in like She hulk becaue she is popular but she never gets in. And I am also sick of the same people all the time like wolverine, I'm not a big fan of Cap America either.
Well Wolverine and Cap are two of marvel's biggest characters. You will not see a MUA game without them. She-Hulk would be nice though.
Ya I just want people who are good but never in games like She Hulk, Firestar, etc
Ultimately it's always a popularity contest. I'm actually surprised that so many characters who aren't as well known to your average person appeared in MUA2.
I think she hulk should be playable but she just isn't that popular like firestar.I know for a fact there's more x-men characters than any other team of marvel so of course therres gonna be more x-men.Plus there popular espicially wolverine storm and iceman
Iceman actually isn't as popular as Wolverine, Jean, and Storm who have now become the must have X-Men. But we will always see him because he is the only prominent ice character. That's fine with me as he is pretty fun to play with.
And She-Hulk is pretty popular. She is one of the few prominent female characters who is based off of a male. Just look at She-Thing. She-Hulk is not as big as Wolverine but I would say she is bigger than Firestar at least. I did hope we would see Firestar as DLC for MUA2 though.
And Teancum you are right. I mean Prodigy, I've never heard of him at all. I was really suprised at his inclusion. MUA would never have had him. And while Cloak and Dagger do have their fans they made it because they were in the original story, otherwise I doubt we would see them. They would be cool playable though.
Ya im not a fan of Iceman but he does come in handy so... and I would loe to see firestar as DLC, I never herd of Penace actually has he always been marvel or no?
He was the New Warrior Speedball but became Penance. He's been around from the 90s I believe.
Oh sweet I now about him lol Shows that I dont know to much about them, but Firestar is my fav New Warrior so.
I knew about penance but not Songbird.To make the game sell they would obviously have to put famous characters in and some new ones.And about those people i never heard of are Prodigy(who the hell is he and where he comes from),Fold,Tinkerer,Justice, and Lucia Bon Vardos
I have herd nothing about them either although I knew about songbird, Isnt the tinker a FF villian or something?
Justice is also a New Warrior. He, Firestar, Namorita, and Penance (AKA Speedball) were all New Warriors. Also the Fold was created for the game, it has never been in the comics.
Ya they talk about the New Warriors alot in the game.
hello, i don't have this version yet, but i will, by using the cheats, can you save your game? (i would have asked this in the cheats section but it's closed so i ask here)
All cheats prevent you from saving unless you use the codes that unlock Hulk, Thor, or Jean
You also can't get achievements or trophies if you activate cheats.
That's why I was just happy with the Jean one,, I had everyone else unloacked, but all I wanted was Jean and I just couldn't find all her stuff so I had to use it :p
ok, thank you for answering, i'll only use the unlock Jean code.
