Marvel: Ultimate Alliance II Details, Platforms

Kotaku writes: "We already knew it was coming, but amongst yesterday's MS/Acti marketing leaks were some further details on the upcoming Marvel: Ultimate Alliance II. The game will be set during Marvel's recent "Civil War" story arc, with players forced to choose sides in the conflict".

I really liked the first one. Hopefully they can add enough new stuff to keep it interesting. But looks like PC may really be dying if they are making it for every platform besides PC.

This game better play different than a ps1 game. All I gotta say. These games are so lame, so boring and pointless. It's like, when I get one of these games I don't enjoy it right off the bat. Instead I sit and think how many other people are playing this game at the same time I am. I usually come to the conclusion no one is and then send it to the porn theater/ gamestop.

Games like this are a downer. This is the kind of game you play from your window and look outside as life is passing you by. Even the kid on the big wheel looks more successful than you while you're playing these kinds of games.

GFahim5794d ago

the reason why u probably didnt like this game is coz u had no friends to play with.

DiabloRising5794d ago

Civil War? Meh... Onslaught Saga would have been better. Or Galactus like the prior looked to setup. Civil War was a nice change of pace, but I want something suitably large and cosmic scale... Infinity Gauntlet? Annihilation Wave? Secret Wars? Coming of Galactus? Ultron?!??!

Maybe I'm just picky...

Charlie26885794d ago

you comic whore XD

well Infinity Gauntlet would be my choice but I wonder if people would be able to handle it :P

if one is a fan some of those are AWESOME but if not they are some of THE most mind bending, confusing and brain burner stories EVER XD

btw how is THE MGS4 guru this days? :)

Baka-akaB5794d ago

I think it's awesome going through Civil war first . before all all cosmic we "just need" a good old fashioned brawl between our heroes and villains adding to the chaos .

they probably could have done an update secret war instead , but they probably wanted to cash onto a recent and popular event , instead of only targeting comics fans like ourselves .

As for the game , well there is something that bugged me ever since xmen legend , and keeps bugging me : the graphics just sucks . Xmen legends design and art style was simply abysmal and not something most of us would have enjoyed in the comics .. and its graphical engine was too average .

The UA first game improved the designs and obviously the graphics , but it keeps bugging me . Dont mind me as most people seems to have enjoy that aspect .

However , while it's probably wasteful and wishful thinking , could they please drop the whole exclusives characters for exclusive platform shenanigans ?
It makes some team up impossible , and it defeat the whole purpose of the game being allowing you to play with a huge assortiment of mavel characters ... given the concept Activision should damn stay clear of console wars antics .

vilmer5794d ago

Great news! Loved the first one.

ceedubya95794d ago

Going through "Civil War" seems really interesting. I wonder if it will also include "World War Hulk" and "Secret Invasion" by the time its over.

RufustheSage5794d ago

World War Hulk would be VERY interesting, but I think people were upset that you couldn't play as hulk until sometime later. . . .but following the Civil War storyline that would be the case again.

Owell! I would want to play out the ONSLAUGHT saga, just my OP.

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1033d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1033d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1033d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1033d ago (Edited 1033d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 PS4 Returns To Some PSN Storefronts After Delisting In 2018

From PSU: "Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 on PS4 has returned to some PlayStation Store fronts after being delisted in 2018. Get the latest right here."

Majin-vegeta1204d ago

Glad I got these bedore they were delisted

1203d ago
Knightofelemia1204d ago

They should have added Alliance 1 with 2 and Xmen Legends still great games that I own and play.

neutralgamer19921203d ago

Physical media especially for these licensed games

autobotdan1203d ago

Unfortunately this game was never on a physical disc for ps4 or xbox one.

neutralgamer19921203d ago

Oh yeah I have these on ps3. Activision probably missed their chance but they just wanted the quick buck

Profchaos1203d ago

Anything with a license at all any open world game with real world music on the radio, sports titles, racing games, rythem games the list goes on.
It's only stuff like tlou or horizon where it's all end to end Sony IP that I have no concerns about buying digital

addictedtochaos1203d ago

Only for Europe at this time. 🙁 They were initially delisted the day before I went to buy them.

autobotdan1203d ago

Grab it while you can asap. Fun game and it should already be backwards compatible on ps5. I already have the digital 2 pack of both original Marvel ultimate alliance games on xbox one. I purchased them on sale just before they got delisted

Can Marvel Crossovers Ever Escape the Infinity Saga?

This month, nearly a decade to the month after the release of its predecessor, Nintendo released Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, a return to the beloved ARPG Marvel gaming series that takes comic book crossover mania to a team-based beat ‘em up conclusion. But it also serves as a reminder that...god, things were so different back when Ultimate Alliance 2 was coming out, weren’t they?

Yeah. Just wait until the next big storyline is revealed in the MCU. Then all the crossovers will be about that.

But the Infinity Gauntlet is one of Marvel's most famous and popular stories. Even the fighting game Marvel Super Heroes was about it back in the 90's, long before the MCU was even an idea.

I agree it's time to move on. But with the MCU becoming far more popular and reaching way more people than the comics ever did, sadly we are living in a world where the movies will dictate most other forms of media, not the comics. At least, that is, until the MCU eventually runs out of gas. Which it eventually will just like all movie trends. But it could take quite a while for that to happen.

AK911730d ago

It depends on who the next big bad will be in the MCU universe.
