Thunderbolts was a drat good comic (recent relaunch excluded), so it was nice to see her get more spotlight for once.

Am I remembering right where there was an attempt at a mystery of who he was for a few months when the redesign appeared in Ellis’ Thunderbolts?

I don't think so. They established who he was in Civil War: Frontline before that series started. It might have been a thing where he showed up in the promotional art months ahead of time and nobody knew what his deal was.

Looks like previews will be up tomorrow and reviews will be up Thursday.

Also, there should be a day 1 patch on Friday, but you'll get the patch today if you preordered the digital version.

I loved her powers too. It wasn't Psylocke but it was still good. One of the Vicarious Vision developers REALLY wanted Psylocke in and even made a mock-up M:UA 2 Gold Edition cover for if they ever made one with Psylocke front and center. I wish I saved that because it was really cool.

A reviewer is posting tid bits on ERA

I just got to the part of the game when you can modify and upgrade ISO-8. Seems like this stuff is going to be the meat of the character progression and customization. You can modify each piece with materials and currency and also upgrade by feeding ISO-8 to other ISO-8 shards. Some of this looks VERY expensive. I've seen some that require 1,000,000 credits.

So they expect you to keep playing

reset era

The reviewer is currently in the linked discord in that thread talking the game

Quick summary, he thinks they showed too much but doesn't know where he's at in the story, just finished xmanor. Implies the unlockable characters can be guessed by seeing old footage. Wasn't a fan of the hero camera at first but now switches depending on the scenario. The infinite trials are real hard. There's 5 save spots so you can run multiple characters since xp cubes are semi rare and you won't be able to level everyone up in a single run. Diablo (3) is one of their favorite games, but they acknowledge this isn't for every one so don't expect high scores, but if you're in for a marvel beat em up, the game won't disappoint. Not as deep as Diablo, but you'll still put in time.

What are you talking about? Psylocke was DLC for MUA2 and totally in the game (just not base). It was an x-men heavy dlc including Cable and Magneto.

Welp, semi confirmation of no Cyclops Colossus or beast. Gonna go mourn now.

Colossus has had the bad luck of being in the long shadows of Hulk, Thing, and Thor his entire life. He's the big man of the X-Men but when it comes to the Marvel universe, the dude gets a backseat all the time. Unless Proteus is in this game, he won't be getting an invite to the party. Personally I always liked Cyclops but he also gets a raw deal constantly so I'm not surprised if he's strictly an NPC here.

my money is on loki and thanos as unlockable characters, and hopefully there are more trials available than the amount we've been shown on menus, cause that would give me the impression everyone is only going to have one alternate costume.

unless you can unlock costumes through methods other than trials. oh well. i am gonna play with my comic book action figures.

Yeah they got her in for DLC but she wanted to have her on the cover for the supposed Gold Edition if the game went that far.

The game was years ago. :v: I'm misremembering some things but yeah. Honestly, the buying of Marvel by Disney really complicated things. The only reason the DLC came back was due to fans making a huge fuss on HeroHQ and emailing Activision. Disney, Marvel, and Activision were officially done with it and the fan backlash pushed them to allow it for 6 more months.

Supposedly they wanted to put a couple Nintendo guys in UA2, but their mock up they showed Nintendo used the PlayStation UI, and that didn’t go over well.

No the web site doesn't even list characters we know are unlockable like Elektra, so Colossus and cyclops have always had an outside shot.

Edit nevermind she's there now. I dunno

It was both. Samus and Link were going to be added in but Nintendo didn't like that it was being shown to them on the PS2 and not the Wii.

heads up, probably not a big spoiler or anything but Magneto is not a story mode unlock. he's actually a character that will require some work to unlock. some characters have some old-school unlock requirements which is neat and also makes sense because Magneto is badass

When Cyclops went nuts there was a really good first issue to the new Uncanny that was someone informing on him to SHIELD in the narration boxes, and at the end you find out its Magneto, and it's such a dope reveal, the idea that actual genocidal terrorist magneto is like this guy is fuckin NUTS

Then the next issue was like thanks for lying to them for me magneto you're welcome Cyclops and that sucked

the exception was in the extremely bad Ultimatum storyline in Ultimate Marvel wherein Magneto is an absolute murdermaniac. Then he finds out mutants are not special and were actually just a genetic experiment from SHIELD that went haywire. Magneto's last act is to tell Cyclops "uh even though I killed him, Charles would have forgiven me under the circumstances" only to be met by Cyclops saying "yeah, NO" and VAPORIZING his loving head off. Probably the greatest stone cold Cyclops moment ever and unfortunately it came at the tail end of one of the worst loving comic arcs ever created.

Though it also ends with Mr Fantastic telling everyone "Dr Doom is too dangerous to live after he caused all this poo poo" and sending Thing to Latveria to just flat out crush Dr. Doom's loving head in a pool of blood with one stone fist so that's two things that own in a series that was dominated by edgelord poo poo and way too much hosed up violence.
