At a recent press event for DC Studios, James Gunn suggested a Marvel Rivals-style game could happen as it explores fresh ideas for gaming.
It was leaked before, but due to recent findings, it looks like the rumors of a certain classic X-Men character joining Marvel Rivals are seemingly confirmed.
NetEase released several Marvel Rivals buffs and nerfs earlier this week, and this is how they've affected the game so far.
A Strategist was finally buffed! The latest balance changes positively affected Adam Warlock and the Marvel Rivals players love them.
They did Suicide Squad after Avengers and now Rivals-wannabe? When will they learn?
Trend following games seldom work out. Do something innovative.
Honestly, these suits in charge are completely clueless, so they just follow the recent trends and buzzwords, instead of listening to their devs and/or fans.
“Oh, we need to do GaaS! That’s where the money is”
Gamers; “We’re not interested in you doing that. We want you making SP games, like Arkham, like Shadow of Mordor/War”
Suits; “We hear ya, GaaS, always online MP, it’s gonna be great!”
“Okay, that didn’t go as planned. Oof. Okay, new plan, that new Marvel Rivals game seems populars. That’s with superheroes, we’ve got superheroes, let’s make our own ‘Rivals’ game!”
Gamers; “We already have a Rivals game, it’s pretty good. We don’t need you doing your version of it … “
Suits; “We hear ya, it’s gonna be great!”
Deep sigh.
There is plenty of cool stuff they could be doing with the DC license they hold, but honestly, suits are so obsessed about the greedy milking aspect of gaming that they forget about the whole gaming aspect of gaming. As in, it has to be a good/great game first to draw people to your product.
Lol I got down voted everytime I brought it up, and probably will again, but I knew gamers had tanked their collective credibility in lapping up Marvel Rivals the way gamers have. We want to point to the failures of Concord and Suicide Squad and say "see devs/pubs, we don't want more live service slop." And then we fling ourselves at a F2P Hero Shooter based on the most overexposed IP in existence, and expect companies to not react to that. "Only pay attention to the live service games that failed, don't look at the ones we are relentlessly throwing money at! Nothing to see there!"
Marvel's rival to make Marvel Rivals. Seems about right.
You really have to stop trend chasing bro 😔, you guys literally have a money printer with the Arkahmverse, Rocksteady already had plans to expand it, and instead were forced to make suicide Squad GAAS swill.
