Take a look at sales numbers -- the PC version of MUA didn't even get enough sales to bother charting the data:

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

No matter what the sales figures are, they should always release a PC version!


I doubt it. Whoever made it would not be able to make it as good as VV did.

*IF* we were to get one we'd be much more likely to get a n-Space port anyways as the 360 port wouldn't be cost effective to optimize for several types of hardware.  With the n-Space port they just set the requirements fairly high and say "here you go"

I'm with ya! Oh come on people, why are you so mean with them? They did a great job! They didn't make an XML2 or MUA1 but that was their job! I mean, MUA1 didn't look like XML2 but it's still good!

I guess because they changed a lot of things people expected to stay the same, or to improve.  Instead they pulled those features, or limited them.  I have no doubt I'll have fun playing through it when I rent it, but I'm not buying it until its USD$20.00 used, and then only if the DLC is awesome.

No you didn't. N-Space screwed up and VV did wonderful! I do think they focused on other stuff so they didn't have as much time on the characters costumes and stuff.

N-Space barely did anything besides extracting stuff from other games. You should see their reviews

"N-Space should be shot"

"I hope N-Space is lost in the recession"

"N-Space has ruined all of marvel games"

And even many curse words to them

Their reviews... By you?

No by others. On Hero Hq and on some other sites linked on Hero Hq. I don't think they should be shot and the comments are extreme but they didn't do good at all.

Both versions have gotten bad reviews and bad comments, different people like different things. non of us here worked on it, so i dont get why some people get so deffensive about negative comments.

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

Because some of us are blind fanboys, and as long as those blind fanboys exist, so will the defensive outbursts about any kind of criticism about whatever they are fanboys about.  Regardless of whether or not what they say even makes sense or not, you can prove a fanboy wrong and they'll still sing the same song for reasons not even God is sure about at this point.  That's just the way fanboys work.

Personally i think both versions look really good and improved, but if we do get a PC version i hope its n-space version, just because it seems like it would be easier to mod than the VV version.
