It's almost here, gang. What do yo do you think?

captmorgan72 · May 23, 2012, 07:48:59 AM

Looks good but I was hoping it would be like DC Online, where we can create our own heros/villains. Are we going to see multiple Thors, Hulks, etc running around?

detourne_me · May 23, 2012, 11:15:05 AM

f2p+diablo+marvel=hell yeah!

captmorgan72 · May 23, 2012, 07:12:03 PM

Yep, its what I feared. According to this source http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/05/22/marvel-heroes-is-a-diablo-style-mmo all players can be any hero and even change up characters during fights. So this means we will see 10 Hulks and 5 Ironmans and 7 Thors and you can't fight each other, only villian npcs. It's still pretty earlier but I don't have high hopes for this one.

Unless they do it like every MOBA (League of Legends, Super Monday Night Combat) where in a team there is one of each character only.

This looks XML-ish. If the execution is alright, and we can avoid the clone problem, I'd be interested.

Talavar · May 24, 2012, 04:45:14 AM

I'd be interested if this wasn't an MMO. Sadly it is, so I'm not.

laughing paradox · May 25, 2012, 12:51:12 AM

Looks interesting, but as Talavar said, it would be better if it wasn't an MMO. It was nice to see Scarlet Witch in a video game, though. I don't think XMLII counts.. she didn't even have her real costume.

"You and a full group could attack Magneto with a well-rounded selection of heroes, some serving as tanks, others as long-range damage dealers, or everyone could pick Iron Man and blast unibeams until, ideally, everything dies." From the article I linked.

That is a shame... not because "everyone will want to be Wolverine because he is cool" but instead because they will accidentally make one character very powerful and everyone will have that one. For example if Vision has a killer "phase" attack you will see 400 visions running around.

captmorgan72 · May 25, 2012, 07:00:38 PM

Exactly lugaru. That is what you will undoubtedly see when the game is released. There will be several characters that will become favorites and everyone will be playing as them.

murs47 · May 29, 2012, 01:53:10 PM

I like what I see so far. There still seems to be some stiffness with the characters but I'm sure that'll be taken care of.

captmorgan72 · June 19, 2012, 05:23:22 AM

Movie costumes, because you know they were going to include them. What do you guys think? Personally, I only like movie version Iron Man. http://www.marvelheroes.com/news/news-articles/movie-costumes-avengers

detourne_me · June 19, 2012, 12:38:00 PM

I really like them, they're quite cartoony.. kind of like the Star Wars : Clone Wars character models

captmorgan72 · July 06, 2012, 04:36:54 PM

First developers diary and some new footage. I think it looks pretty good. https://www.marvelheroes.com/media

captainawesome · July 06, 2012, 06:11:58 PM

I'm not too sure about this one. Looks kinda simple. Maybe it'll surprise me, though.

Marvel Heroes 15 min gameplay

gengoro · July 10, 2012, 06:37:08 PM

Did this even need to be an MMO?

GogglesPizanno · July 10, 2012, 07:57:18 PM

Do half the games released really need to be MMO?

captmorgan72 · July 10, 2012, 08:38:07 PM

Why does this have to me a MMO? I just know there will be some characters that will be discovered to have a uber power and everyone will be running around as them. It would be totally fine as a single player game. I laughed every time the guy said "this character will be hard to fight alone" and the player easily solos it. Even the Sentinel was a piece of cake to solo. Mags went down super easy, so this tells me either the player was using the easiest difficulty level or the game will have no challenge. Nitpicking, but why does the Hulk grow with rage? Is this Ang Lee's Hulk? I know it is still way to early to criticize, but I'm not liking what I am seeing.

If it wasn't an MMO the it would have been MUA 3

An eminently preferable alternative.

I absolutely agree.

laughing paradox · July 11, 2012, 04:08:31 AM

While I, too, would prefer MUA 3, I do recognize the awful online capabilities those games had.

I think with an MMO, the ability to play with others will be the selling point for me. (That and it's totally free!)

I just hope there is a very expansive selection of characters to choose from the start.

captmorgan72 · July 11, 2012, 04:21:22 PM

Its true playing with others will be fun, but we all know we will see dozens of the same characters running around. This is the part that bothers me.

JeyNyce · July 11, 2012, 04:43:21 PM

Would it be better if you created your own hero and then have the Marvel heroes team up with you like in Diablo.

detourne_me · July 11, 2012, 05:26:58 PM

I'm sure we won't be playing with clones of characters... There will probably be shards, or a kind of lobby system where only one version of a character can exist at a time... Didn't they already fix that issue in super hero squad online?

Which, and I know they aren't mentioning since it'll turn off the 'core' gamers, did pretty well for Marvel.

captmorgan72 · July 11, 2012, 08:21:54 PM

"Upon loading the game, I noticed that our party of press demo superheroes consisted of one Iron Man and two Wolverines." This was quoted from http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/07/10/hands-on-with-marvel-heroes/

There will be multiple clones of characters running around without doubt. You can swap out characters right in the middle of a fight. This was already talked about by the designers. The only saving grace is that you can customize them so two Wolverines for example, will not play the same. That, and there will be multiple costumes. I guess we have to role-play a bit, and pretend that the cloned characters are from different dimensions. I guess I can live with that.

laughing paradox · July 12, 2012, 06:18:03 PM

Sure, there will be clones, but if you're playing with a group of people, it really shouldn't be a problem.

That is, of course, unless you all want to play as a team of Wolverines, like from that issue from the Exiles. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of multiple costumes for the characters.

Also, I saw Cloak in this game already! I hope he'll be playable and not just a NPC.
