Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Discussion (spoilers).

Yeah, I got i got into a fight with my roommates and they were the ones that supplied the ps2. So ther was no play time for about a week and a half. But yesterday I got a brand new ps2. YAY!! played some tetris, totally pwned. Then played some alliance and went to sleep. i love that game.
 
My team (get ready for some big-time originality):

The Ultimates:

Ultimate Thor
Ultimate Cap
Ultimate Iron Man
For my fourth I use Black Panther with the outfit that looks closest to Joe Mad's design for Ultimates 3 (those four also give me the 'Classic Avengers' bonus).

I usually control Ultimate Iron Man. While he's less than impressive at the start, when leveled up with his energy reroute boost, uni-beam, and pulse attack he is devastating from long range. He just shreds through rooms full of enemies (especially in tight quarters where his beams are bouncing off the walls) and earns energy and health for the whole team quicker than he can burn through it.

For example, doing the CD 'vs.' missions based in Asgard, I usually end up with scores over 80,000 (30,000 gets you gold). I could easily get over 100,000 I think but I usually go take out the boss with plenty of time left that I could use for taking out more trolls.

BTW, I'm just on the normal difficulty right now. Once I finish the final level, which I'm on now, I'll move onto hard. Maybe that will change things.
 
i posted this on newsarama and i'd like to get your thoughts on this aswell so im posting this here because i think it's to early to begin a MUA2 thread already so:
well games like M:UA don't take long to get sequels made

like say mortal kombat the XML/MUA line has ALOT of carry over between games allowing sequels to be released less than a year later

so we could be getting MUA2 in Q4 next year

but here in lies the problem

hulk and punisher were not playable in this first MUA game for the sole reason that THQ (i beleive correct me if i'm wrong) had the rights to make the characters in video games a couple of companies have also scooped up the rights to a couple of other marvel characters (ghost rider, iron man, the fantastic four) which will all have movie based games due out next year (Q2 2008 for iron man)

so now M:UA2 may not be able to have 8 of marvel's heavy hitters in the game at all

should they even bother trying to make MUA2 for next year or should they do XML3 instead and put MUA2 on the shelves until the property rights run out so they can do the game right?

or should they try and sub some other characters in instead? (gambit, cable, sentry, namor, etc.)

what are your thoughts on this?

i don't think it's right that these characters would have to be left out when activision has bought the rights to pretty much all of marvel but not be allowed to put these characters in their games
 
Maybe they could go the route of XML2 and base the game around a storyline where the Earth's good and evil superhumans are forced to unite in order to stop a common enemy (say someone like Galactus).

If they did this, they could use villains to fill the roles of the characters not allowed in the game due to licensing reasons.

For example, you can't have Hulk but you could have the Abomination.
Crimson Dynamo/Titanium Man/Iron Monger for Iron Man.
Super Skrull or a collection of the Frightful Four (Taskmaster, Sandman, etc.) to fill in for the F4.
etc.

Nobody would be happy with that, its a cop out.

I'd say just do XML3 and wait for UA2.
 
They should just let it die, but there's no way they will.

Not having the Fantastic Four is no biggie to me. I really liked Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic was interesting, Thing was a nice tank, and I used Ghost Rider more than I used Human Torch.

War Machine could stand-in for Iron Man... everyone seems like like his armor better anyway.

Activision might get the rights to use Hulk and Punisher by next year.

I hope Ghost Rider comes back... the rights to use him may not even be an issue, since Climax/2K Games has been developing the 'Ghost Rider' game since roughly the same time Activision/Raven Software started working on 'Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.'

i just got a poster for this game mailed to me from L.A. for free (couried by UPS)

does anybody know why some company in LA would send me a MUA poster? im confused
 
This game blows.



Ok...maybe it doesn't. But I'm not a fan of beat 'em up/hack-n-slash games like this. X-Men Legends was ok. Nothing great....but ok. To this day it still bores me to the point that I've never finished the game. I try but after about 20 minutes I'm bored. The sequel wasn't any better. But that's for another topic.



This is the exact same game.....only with prettier graphics. I played for about 30 minutes and to turn it off.


I am greatly disappointed.

Sorry.....just not impressed.

I like it so far, but can totally see where you're coming from. I felt like that with X-Men Legends 2.

I like this better because I like having all the different characters, but it's a button masher. Mindless button mashing. It's OK but gets tedious real fast.

I haven't even played it in over a week.

I was only kidding. But I do see your point. But i do like the sequences, I would have like to see more of those.

yeah they were the best part about the game. it was helluva repetetive gameplay of course, but i just carried on going to see the ace cut scenes
 
Hibiki said:
Why can't they make a cool movie that looks like those awesome cut scenes.

ive showed the cutscenes to a lot of my friends and they all say the same thing when they see them.
"oh why cant they just make a movie like THAT?"

i think if marvel did make something like that in the same way advent children was made from the ff7 universe we are onto a winner. the animation in ultimate avengers is terrible. think how cool it would be if they made a movie of "ultimates" vol 1 which stayed true and used the same technology they used to create those custcenes.
beautiful
 
My thoughts exactly, sir. Is there any way to extract these cutscenes from the game somehow? Maybe save them as .mpg's or something?
