Marvel’s Avengers games: yeah, this is a big deal

Polygon: "This is a big deal for a few reasons, not the least of which is that we haven’t had a proper Avengers game basically ever. The last attempt was cancelled, despite looking promising"

I do recall the old arcade classic beat em up. Oh the memories.

Little annoyed, actually very annoyed, that this likely means we won't see another Deus Ex for awhile.
Plus they're likely to bar some of their best characters(X-Men/FF) from showing up in any of these games.

It's not just the Deus Ex devs, but the Tomb Raider crew as well... bad news for fans of either franchise.

I'm aware 'Shadow of the Tomb Raider' has started development - my main concern is that Marvel's games will be prioritised due to contractual obligations, forcing CD/Eidos to delay and/or scale-down development on Tomb Raider/Deus Ex in order to ship an Avengers game alongside 'Civil War 7'... that, and Square Enix are some mercenary SOBs when it comes to business, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if they do something similar to what Disney/EA/DICE did with Star Wars Battlefront - a bare-bones, online-only POS that was rushed to launch alongside The Force Awakens.

Edit: Eurogamer have just reported that the Deus Ex series is 'on hiatus', with Eidos focused on 'new projects'...

While the X Men Origins Wolverine game is one of the most true to character games and I enjoyed it immensely, I am still having nightmares from the Iron Man games last gen. It's too early to say the Avengers games are a big deal. They only matter if SE delivers.

I'd throw Dead Island 2 on that list as well.

I wish I would never hear the phrase or we riot ever again.

Waa, games we want don't appear, waaa. Daddy!!!

Tross2206d ago

I really enjoyed Beyond Good and Evil, but how many times has the sequel not shown up at E3 due to the game being vaporware? Prepare to riot then, if its presence is one of your terms for refraining from doing so.

if it doesn't have quality dedicated single player, count me out.

That makes two of us.

Just for fun:
If Thanos is the main antagonist I'd love to see a scenario where if certain conditions are met and Thanos gets the completed infinity gauntlet he would snap his fingers and the game would uninstall. How's that for a real game consequence to our actions?

IMissJimRyan2279d ago

For me, if it isn't on Switch is no buy. Switch is the only platform worth to have.

MadLad2279d ago

My Switch nicely compliments my MC, but I could never see me satisfied with it as my sole gaming device.

A single player driven game with drop in and out co-op

What we'll get

A GaaS driven online only multiplayer game where like Destiny, the Division and Anthem the majority of the "content" will come from you and your friends grinding, replaying the same bunch of missions over and over again.

PhoenixUp2280d ago

I hope it’s not heavily MCU influenced

porkChop2280d ago

Considering it's been over two years? I want to see the game. Show me gameplay, not some CG trailer.
