It will be literal identical to Tomb Raider but with Hawkeye badly pasted over Lara Croft.

There's no way a company presided over by Square Enix would miss the obvious money saving potential of having it just be Kate.

Kevin Feige had said stuff like, "YEah, and we want to do crazy stuff like Guardians!!" the year before Ultimate MvC3, but Guardians development wasn't announced until the year after.

George Newbern's Superman voice is so good.

I like that after the first game, where Regime Superman just kind of pouted and snarled at people, they remembered that Clark Kent is an actual smart guy with a quick wit, because he has some pretty brilliant lines in this game where he's being an rear end in a top hat to people and Newbern knocks it out of the park.

That's what you get when you rip Kyle Rayner apart and do whatever happened to Guy and John. Also, that's what I assumed at first, but 'he's bad at everything' and 'wait for a patch' imply otherwise.

And yeah, they seriously missed an opportunity to not replace Hal with one of the new Green Lanterns.

EDIT: Also I just realized that Jamie Reyes has been around for like, a decade now.

Thinking back, I wonder how much Green Lantern's slump in sales that led to Johns being given the green light for 'Rebirth' was less due to that title and more just comics in general.

You shouldn't he has a lovely overhead, great cross-ups from the air, a fantastic combo extender when meter-burning db1 and maybe the best j3 in the game, which is hideously easy to combo into normal strings.

I wish they could do another X-men Legend / Avenger Alliance type of game. They were my guilty pleasure.

They were dope. I'm holding out a slight, fading hope that maybe, maybe, that big teased game is going to be something like that, but I doubt it.

Thinking about it a little, I think the big issue with pitching and defining a Superman game is that a lot of it comes down to execution rather than just ideas and most game developers and publishers have almost no confidence in the execution of their ideas. That's why marketing is just numbers, big ideas and buzzwords to describe.

You'd need someone with a really clear vision and the confidence to not get frightened away from it and I don't think there's a developer out there who is doing that but would also be close to a Superman game.

I like the combat, but Spider-Man basically being a part-time cop is a really weird take on the character.

Having a friend on the force is a lot different than being chummy with the police in general, to the point of working alongside them and taking orders from them and helping fix up their surveillance system.

Individuals =/= Entire police force.

It's a very different character choice to have Spider-Man, as an individual entity with his own goals, occasionally work with the help of singular elements of the police force to having him work within and alongside the police force as a whole.

Any story line that has that happening previously I'd argue is a similarly bizarre take on the character and misses a lot of the fundamentals.

Also, the working relationship with DeWolff was a lot different in tone and implication to the relationship with Yuri in this game.

Game Informer has a lot of Ultimate Alliance 3 coverage up and while the people talking over it are a bit bland, there is a lot of looks at stuff from the game, some of the characters are relatively deep cuts like Crystal and also Lockjaw replaces the save points/team switching spots.

I’d be happy with one costume per character if they’re well chosen and meaningful. 2 had a bunch of ugly, weird choices and they made no difference.

1 had a bunch of ugly clutter.
