Why Marvel Ultimate Alliance Is the Ultimate Comic Game

The Marvel Ultimate Alliance games appeal to hardcore comic nerds and beat'em up fans alike. Hopefully the next one keeps it going.

“My fear is that the game will suffer a similar fate as the one seen by Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. That games roster was slimmed down from its predecessor, and the heroes featured in the game were primarily pulled from the extraordinarily popular Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

Yeah that’s my biggest gripe. You don’t even see any of the Fantastic Four when they already played major roles in the first two titles, whereas the entire Guardians of the Galaxy cast had been prominently featured instead.

The X-Men Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance series were both heavily influenced by the comics, yet the third MUA is influenced way too much by the MCU and takes away from the identity this series already had in the same way MvC:I’s identity got diluted by trying way to hard to appea to the MCU crowd rather than its series’ longtime fans.

Featuring Wolverine is a nice start, but it seems like a token gesture considering there hasn’t been any other famous X-Men characters shown off.

Gemmol1952d ago

It's just the first trailer lol how you expect to know all the characters involved

badz1491951d ago

from the first trailer, most of the character models are taken from the MCU. that's not promising at all

at least wolverine is there, though

FallenAngel19841952d ago

The first trailer alone just spells out how influenced by the MCU this game will be. Even the main plot is MCU inspired. Not saying that characters like Fantastic Four won’t appear, but I wouldn’t hold my breath

I think this series is awesome, I loved them on ps3. I only wish it wasnt switch exclusive. I know the switch people will buy it up, but the ps4 install base alone should have been enough to entice them. I think ive read nintendo has a hand with this game so if true it is what it is.

Neonridr1953d ago

Nintendo is publishing it, if I am not mistaken. Just like Sony helped in the creation of Spiderman, Nintendo is doing the same here. Such is business.

shinoff21831950d ago

I thought so thats why I mentioned it. I thought I had read that around the time it was announced.

Segata1952d ago

Sony got Spiderman. Nintendo got Alliance. Both fully funded by those respected companies. Without exclusive deals, you get irrelevancy like Xbox loose definition of the word exclusive.

Blu3_Berry1952d ago

I haven't played the previous two games but I do know alot of people love them and considered them a classic.

I'm not gonna lie, if it weren't for the Nintendo Switch logo before showing the game off at the game awards my first thought would have been "This is a mobile game" . Graphically, I thought it was pretty bad looking. The cutscenes were nicely done, but the in-game was just......... ugh. Not trying to sound like a downer and that graphics mean everything, but nothing really stood out or impressed me about the game's trailer other than that it is back as an exclusive (which quite frankly I couldn't care less about).

Gemmol1952d ago

Graphics goes back to cartoon style........even past games did not have realistic graphics it was cartoon

Now if you said you wanted a realistic version one day i could understand that but no matter what you say the switch version look way better than the old ones

addictedtochaos1952d ago (Edited 1952d ago )

Always liked the X-Men Legends and Ultimate Alliance games, really wish we could get a good DC game in a similar style.

Gemmol1952d ago

More of a DC guy but i agree with you

Kainbrightside1952d ago

Looks good so far to me I played the second one on the Wii with some friends when I was younger and enjoyed it.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx7d ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro7d ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B7d ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21837d ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh7d ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia7d ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

MasterChief36246d ago

I thought it looked awful, but I actually fell in love with it. To this day one of my favorites on the Switch.

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

MasterChief36246d ago

Yeah I'm kind of miffed about that headline. But the information in the article does give me a little hope. I really want to play these games on the PS5! I would assume if Activision actually is planning on relisting them on the Xbox Store, it would be relisting them on the PS Store as well?

Abnor_Mal7d ago

The first game was the best imo.
