I can't believe a AAA multiplayer Games-as-a-service game based on a huge franchise with a gigantic budget and a huge marketing budget that's promoted by Disney and Sony will sell a lot of copies, reality really is stranger than fiction.

Gameplay still seems real bad

Awoo.


Marvel's also just a stupid powerful brand name.

Like, in the boardgame space, there's Arkham Horror: The Card Game, an amazing, thematic, mechanically fun game that's gotten praise for a while. I've struggled to play it with anyone nearby for years. The same company made a Marvel card game with muddled, less tight mechanics that most agree is an inferior game, but it shattered Arkham in sales. I can get tons of friends to play it multiple times with ease, to the point where they actively ask me when the next expansion's coming out.

A Marvel videogame is gonna sell if it's even half-decent and flashy enough to look fun in a trailer. It sounds like the actual presentation is hitting for people even if the gameplay isn't, which is more than enough to push sales nowadays. Heck, that's basically AAA games in a nutshell now anyway.

I wish the mobile game could just be normal Madden NFL season mode. Or at least have that as an option. I would play it all the time if it had the same features but was free cause the real money in the mobile game is the micro-transactions.

Normal Madden barely even has season mode anymore. poo poo is all just ultimate team trading booster pack bullshit focused now.

Marvel VS Capcom is already a thing and already rules.

Although sadly peaked at number 2. Partially because Infinite was too focused on MCU tie-in stuff.

Also great use of Holst's Jupiter, an all time classic.

Venture Bros also used Holst's Mars and I'm pretty sure I don't even need to link you the scene because you know what I'm talking about :)

Yeah, although they altered how it works.

Its pretty gimmicky in Marvel Super Heroes, you can beat people up to make them drop their gems like its a puzzle fighter game, where Infinite its more like... picking a fighting style

Apparently the owner of Lab Zero (Skullgirls, Indivisible) decided that the best response to complaints of harassment was to lay off every single employee

So functionally Lab Zero doesn't exist anymore and if it does rebuild it'll be entirely made up of the kind of people who hear this story and think "yeah that's a guy I want to work for"

A character that a marvel artist recently drew in a comic but since he just googled the character name and drew based on the first results he got to have a bowel twisting panic moment before being told the rights to the imperfects had reverted to Marvel and not stayed with EA

drat, that sucks. Skullgirls has had a ridiculous amount of post release work, and I know they were hosed out of any profit for like 2 years or something.

Also absolutely lovely thing to do to the employees instead of just like walking away. Goddamn.

Gonna pause Marvelchat for a second since I finally played Bioshock Infinite's Burial at Sea DLC and holy gently caress, how could anyone write that poo poo, much less think releasing it would be great.

"Actually everything from the first game that you loved came about because of this last game which suxked" sure is a mood.

Neither the original Shadowrun nor Cyberpunk systems anticipated wi-fi

I dunno about Shadowrun but the later versions of cyberpunk definitely incorporate wireless connections since they were big nerds who read Ghost in the Shell (for that matter wi-fi was already a thing in Neuromancer). But it takes a bit of work to not make wi-fi hackers not feel like wizards, plus there's the whole thing where the first step to any good security is turn off wi-fi or hav it not linked to your important systems, which is where the whole shoot-cable-to-hack stuff comes from.

One of the editions of Cyberpunk went all in on the wireless nanotech post-human stuff and everyone hated it, because, well, when you can turn a chair into grey goo with a glance it isn't cyberpunk anymore.

I mean yeah Avengers is gonna sell based on the fact that it's the most popular media franchise in any western country, but in terms of long-term staying power and a dedicated fanbase that will actually engage with these microtransactions I just don't think there's any way. People fell for Fallout76 and Anthem, people will buy literally anything

Lol, what? I haven’t seen this complaint at all. I have seen people agree that the game is less story driven so it isn’t as rewarding narratively. However all the praise I see for the game is how streamlined and easy to play it was compared to Arkham. I tried Arkham myself when it came out and bounced off right away because it was definitely more complicated and I didn’t love the theme, but Marvel was perfect because it was easier to pick up and play while still retaining a good strategical element to it. It’s all good if you don’t like Marvel personally because of how it plays compared to a game you like more, but there’s zero need to create a bullshit narrative where people like an “inferior” game just because it’s Marvel.

Please be excited.



Man I loved the Arkham card game. If I had a stable group to play it with I'd have sunk a lot of money into it by now.

A similar game with a Marvel skin sounds incredibly dull. The concept that you were just barely clinging on to your life/sanity and that you're drastically outmatched by the various eldritch horrors is a huge part of the appeal. Playing as a bunch of superheroes sounds like a bad time.

the only good marvel property is the 1970s spiderwoman cartoon by filmation where, in order to transform in secret, jessica will do things like fall out of the open door of a helicopter while her friends are in the helicopter looking at her, or jump out the window of a building

Lab Zero doesn't own the Skullgirls IP and the publisher that does had already severed professional ties with Mike and they're going to still be working on stuff with the company that does the mobile version and hopefully a lot of the people who left.
