IGN:
How do you squeeze the colossal Marvel Universe into the MMO space? Gazillion Entertainment and its Secret Identity Studios aren’t following convention. Instead of creating a game that resembles something like World of Warcraft, Secret Identity is drawing inspiration from another of Blizzard’s franchises: Diablo.
A non-profit educational group is looking to buy the Marvel Heroes license to either maintain the MMOARPG as-is or use it to build an entirely new game.
Why campaign is set to "Flexible goal"? Like "We desperately need $450 000, but hey, we'll settle for any amount of money you'll give to us. And we won't have to do a damn thing.".
They say in Indiegogo campaign: "To achieve our plan, we are currently seeking a minimum of $450k – $900k". MINIMUM of $450k, so why "flexible"?
Next, they say that currently, "creditors claims totaling at $900K" and "The closer our offer is to those claims, the greater our chances of success". A chance costs $450 000.
They're also saying that "One downside is that Gazillion has spent millions to license the use of characters and story lines over the years", where will they get millions for a license? Another campaign? Aggressive microtransactions? Oh, right, "Unless millions are raised to fund this campaign, the odds of this option being successful are very limited."
Even their Paragon university website has "Coming Soon" on it and "Elder mage" have only one "news" and copy-pasted content from Indiegogo campaign. Sounds like a scam to me.
These were all my feelings as well. The whole thing reeks of ripoff and I'm generally a pretty forgiving guy when it comes to crowdfunding campaigns.
Chris and Colby are back with Episode 2 of the Gaming Historia podcast. In this episode, we use the imminent closure of Paragon as a jumping off point to discuss Digital Gaming and how it affects gaming as a whole. In addition, we get a little off topic about questionable things that are done with amiibos.
There's not a lot of closure when free-to-play games go away.
I almost spent 50 bucks on this game. It's sad for the people that spent all that money.
Had a notification on PSN that refunds will be given on things purchased from IIRC August until now. Hate to see it close down I was starting to enjoy it but at least will be getting some of my money back.
Don't really like the environments. Looks like a gritty crime game world, not really a super hero world.
Overall, the look and feel doesn't feel like a 'comic book' super hero game.
it could be good/nice....just do Marvel some justice..im glad to see a MMO/RPG on a system other then an PC since my PC cant run anything
A Marvel MMO was in the long time in the making, suppose to come to the Xbox as an Exclusive some odd years ago, gets canceled. The Ip has been just floating soaring in the air like Iron Man for all these years then? Lol so glad to see the Ip get picked back up.
Looks decent enough, though from what was shown the superheroes seem somehwat out of place. Could be the art direction, or just the gameplay style, but I think it will be fun regardless.
CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE
