Check out theTHQ Avengers FPS gameplay within that surfaced today! This is from the Xbox 360 build and was supposed to tie in to the 2012 movie.
The two Marvel games lost Square Enix $200 million in a little under two years and were responsible for the sale of western studios to Embracer, according to an analyst.
I'm sorry but if guardians of the Galaxy didn't sell enough they paid too much for royalties to Disney I'm thinking. In any case square is a terrible manager if their dev cost and marketing cost isn't offset by how well gotg sold.
Edit: I did some research and it sold at least one million five hundred thousand as of last October. Not to mention 5 to 10 million dollars from Microsoft for game pass. Square is crap at budgeting imo after finding this out.
2nd edit: I fear for the final fantasy franchise and square as a company if they're this incompetent
Well maybe Guardians would have sold more if people weren’t put off with how shit the Avengers was
Guardians got the short end of the shtick, all thanks to the shit show that was The Avengers.
Got on the hype band vagon of Guardian and I surelly enjoyed its writing and story, which I thought was quite convoluted and fun overall. The excution was a little MEh even thought the models were alright and the environments not bad at all. Movements felt a bit tiff but ok overall. It was a decent game with a big budget soul. I did not play Avengers but I guess it felt into the "wanna be AAA at all costs" trap !
In a recent blog post, Chief Editor of European publication GameReactor reveals that Square Enix have requested a universal review for The Avengers. The will require the same written review and score to be published by all of their European outlets, bringing into question the influence that triple A developers have on the editorial press.
UPDATE - Note that the blog post noting the behaviour from Square Enix has since been deleted. We have included a screen shot of the original post below, and a link to the google cache. Reader discretion is advised.
Square Enix cannot dictate how a publication handles its reviews. That's not how it works.
While we talk about unified european reviews....
I would welcome a none economy driven european rating system. One that puts an R-Rating on every game that includes any kind of microtransactions within the gameclient or the pure audacity to offer 99.99€ ingame currency packs.
From Cnet: "First there was a bang. The sort of noise that comes from steel-on-steel impact. An unfamiliar sound in an office used to the peaceful clatter of mechanical keyboards. Still, no one batted an eyelid.
Then came the second bang. A third. A fourth.
People began to take notice. One ear at a time, the headphones peeled off. Hordes of men and women, peering over office dividers like confused meerkats. What was that noise? Where was it coming from? "
I can see why they cancelled it, even for a X360 / PS3 game.
First of all. I would like to thank them for canceling this bs. Second of all I'd like a formal apology for showing us this bs
Looking at this footage, I see so many Green Goblins lol

This is overwatch before overwatch was a thing. Would this technically been ahead of its time?
