Wii/PS2 (n-Space's version) talk and Official News

Just for whatever you want to talk about for this version.

Gameplay video: http://pax.gamespot.com/video/6216798/

I'm in the mood to talk about what was reused from MUA1.  Now some might complain that they expected new models and anims, but I'm guessing MUA2 only came to these systems because they saw development would be fairly inexpensive.  Remember MUA1 reused lots of anims and models from XML2, which in turn reused lots of stuff from XML1. 



1. SHIELD soldier is definitely from MUA1


2. Torch's animation is reused from MUA1, and it looks like Songbird may be built off of a female MUA1 character


3. Hulk anim and effect reused


4. Deadpool's idle stance reused, Thor's menu exit anim now used for a power


5. Psylocke looks to be built from a MUA1 female as well


6. Cap and Storm's anims reused


7. Cyclops' animation and effect reused, and possibly a reused XML2 Astonishing Cyclops model





On a different note, I still don't understand why Blade looks like a white American biker...

[LX - Rampage]

Well, you are right and Blade does look strange.

AWESOME!I guess i will take the ps2 version too since it loocks so cool(i know the vid was about the wii)

[Shauny7488]

i think the reason he looks white is the lighting, why he looks like a biker however, no idea.
I am finding my happy place in these models after looking at the horrid VV ones. I gotta say though, i like Dark_Mark's Hulk a hell of a lot more than that one.

I imagine the game will look better when viewed from the angle that we will actually play the game at.

its the face, i just can't imagine Hulk running around, smashing stuff up with his mouth closed, last time i checked, Hulks always screaming at the top of his lungs. I mean he doesnt even look that angry. But your right, we probably wont see the face much when playing.

I'm pretty sure with Blade they were going for this look, but they went a little too light on the skin.  The reference picture seems brighter due the painted light source.

[LX - Rampage]

Yeah, quite right. I hope, that in the actual gameplay, Blade will be darker.

[BliZZ]

Yeah, it basically looks the same as MUA for the PS2. Hopefully everything's compatible with MUA for the PC (specifically )

[LX - Rampage]

Yeah, well it would be cool for you modders

Too bad we don't have a "my jaw dropped"-smiley here.

[LX - Rampage]

Well, you can make one if you want to

5. Psylocke looks to be built from a MUA1 female as well

It looks like Elektra.  The head is pretty much exact from her Ultimate skin.  Also, she doesn't have her psychic blade on the back of her hand.  Hope they didn't take that out.

That is pretty much XMLI Psylocke. Same stance and everything.

Im pretty happy and hopeful with this stuff, if it works in MUA1 we can finally have official skins for Hulk and Venom, new models for Storm and the other characters and new animations (i know they seem to be using the same stuff from MUA1, but im sure other characters like Green Goblin have new animations). And if some of the stuff from the ps2 work in XML2 then i'll go
