The NZA Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 ACTIVISION SHOWS MARVEL: ULTIMATE ALLIANCE SCREENS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over 140 Marvel characters come together in Activision, Inc’s. (Nasdaq: ATVI) Marvel™: Ultimate Alliance, an all-new action/RPG that features the largest roster of comic book characters ever seen in a video game. Players assume the roles of more than 20 Marvel Super Heroes including Spider-Man, Wolverine, Blade and Captain America, and through their actions determine the fate of both planet Earth and the Marvel universe – revealed in one of multiple epilogues. “Marvel: Ultimate Alliance delivers a new twist on action/RPGs where players’ actions and choices ultimately determine what happens to the Marvel universe,” states Will Kassoy, Vice President of Global Brand Management for Activision. “This coupled with the game’s enormous character roster will deliver an action-packed experience that comic book fans have been waiting for.” Marvel: Ultimate Alliance features a deep, rich gameplay experience by offering total team customization, where players create their own team name, icon and vehicle, as well as establish their team reputation as they play throughout the story. Gamers also have the option to level up each character individually to their liking, or all team members at the same time to keep their heroes balanced. With the game’s new combat system, players battle against the world’s most notorious Marvel Super Villains in the air, underwater, and on the ground, using grappling, blocking and dodging moves, by charging up their Super Hero powers before unleashing them, and using environmental objects as one and two-handed weapons. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance features a unique storyline where the missions players accept, the objectives they complete, and their interactions with other characters throughout the game directly impact how the story plays out. The game also features a robust multiplayer component where fans can band together with friends as their favorite Marvel Super Heroes, and fight evil in both on and offline cooperative story modes. There’s also a Competitive Mode where the game tracks various in-game stats so players can see how well they stack up against one another – affecting the amount of experience points earned and how equipment is distributed. Created by Raven Software and C.B. Cebulski, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance will be the first Super Hero game out for all next-gen gaming systems, and will also be available on current-gen, handheld and PC platforms. The game is currently rated RP (Rating Pending) by the ESRB and is planned to ship this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Holy hell, that looks awesome! (put Daredevil in a videogame, put Daredevil in a videogame, put Daredevil in a goddamn videogame already) I just hope to god it's more XMen Legends than it is Marvel Nemesis.

The NZA Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Sho nuff. Baytor knows the score. Few things to note here: 1) Anyone who's played X-Men Legends series knows "140 characters" doesnt mean theyre all playable, it means a shit-ton of cameos. Im with SN on wanting DD, Punisher and some other heavy hitters as playables (Ghost Rider's been confirmed!), but im not holdin my breath on Moon Knight. 2) Its said to be a different engine than XML, though it does look similar. 3) Anyone else see Doom in shot # 2...?

bishopcruz Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I heard this wasz from the Xmen legends people, so that is good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 The Punisher and Ghost Rider as playable characters? And I thought Deadpool in X-Men legends 2 was as awesome as it could get! I don't know if I can wait for this one... excitement rising to a new level... Spider-Man, Punisher, Ghost Rider... it would be awesome if just for kicks they threw in Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy, even as a cameo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Ghost Rider's confirmed, no official word on Punisher - i really hope so though, cause i can see them making him a cameo if not and that'd be a shame. Im hopin for Deadpool again too, but some folks (unofficial) are estimating upwards of 20 playable characters, so you gotta figure on seeing the most popular there. Since were just speculating at this point, who would ya'll like to see? Id be happy with DD, Punisher, black variant costume Spidey, mebbe Ultimates or Golden Age variant Cap, Doom, and cameos from Luke Cage, Sentry, and Doop, if not playables.

The NZA Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 anyone got any more shots or news on this? Im dyin here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genroh Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Ghost Rider?! Tell me you're not joking. SWEEEEET! Now we just need to confirm Hulk and my favorite dream team can be formed (Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hulk, and Ghost Rider the New Fantastic Four) XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopcruz Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I'd kill for an Ultimates alternate Fury. Or if that fails, Jessica Jones or Speedball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 fuckin speedball doomed us all... Still holdin out for DD and Punisher. And details. ps if that New FF team makes it here, id bet on alternate costumes too, cause this series is really good about that (based on XML).

IguanaDon? Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I don't think it'll be too good with Punisher... It looks like a bit've a kiddys game. If I play as the Punisher I want to get down and dirty, not ecto-plasma for blood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Yeah, Punisher wouldn't work too well seeing as he probably wouldn't have any guns, so that limits him to hand-to-hand combat and knives more or less. Also I would like Wolverine to slowly regain health over time so that his mutant powers acutually come to play. Hulk is probably a given, as are Spidey, Wolverine, the entire Fantastic Four, Captain America, Thor, and Iron-Man. I'd love to see Daredevil, Punisher, Silver Surfer, Doctor Strange, Blade, Black Widow, Cable, Deadpool, Elektra, Nick Fury, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Sentry, Man-Thing (Yeah right, but I can dream), Shatterstar (Once again, I can dream), Venom, Juggernaut, Thanos (Infinity Gauntlet anyone?), Galactus, Bullseye, Dormammu, Black Tom Cassidy, and Taskmaster. It's a shame Marvel doesn't have the rights to Transformers and GI Joe anymore. Cause who wouldn't want Grimlock and Snakeyes with Ghost Rider and The Punisher.

Silent Bob Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I noticed the game's title and then looked closely at Cap's costume again...those big red gloves, the large brown utility belt, the stars on the shoulders...are we positive this is a standard Marvel U game? By the way, anybody else hear about this? DC's got their own multi-character action RPG coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Spider-Man looks too old for this to be Ultimate Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 again, were talkin 100+ characters, its safe to say were within the regular Marvel U. if you see Ultimate costumes, that's cause variant costumes are part of the fun of this series (again, at least with XML).

Iambaytor Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I really hope it's not Ultimate, Ultimate Punisher sucked ass, and I just want to shove Ultimate Spider-Man in a locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 1) Ultimate Spidey'd beat your arse sideways talkin' Jew alla way. 2) Punisher's tired, Bishop or Old School Cable've big guns covered & at least have extra abilties. 3) I swear to god heads're gonna roll if this a. doesn't get past post-production(like the 100 bullets game) or b. doesn't make it into Oz. Fucking brilliant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Yeah, DD game got canned too, sad shit. Ultimate Puniser in marvel team-up book was cool, he was the sin city version i thought. anyway, frank'd work, but DD's a must. no more pics yet? really? ...SB?

Silent Bob Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Haven't found anymore yet, but it's E3 so there's a good chance more will be coming out in the next few days. I'm still pissed the DD game got canned. They were already advertising it in the comics and everything before they pulled the plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
