Next Marvel Game Will Have 140 Characters

Submitted by Seanbaby

Edited by Christopher

The word is that Marvel: Ultimate Alliances will have 140 damn characters, and 20 of them will be playable. The action-RPG is coming out this fall for almost every system you own, and should play like Raven Software's last game, X-Men Legends.

We won't know a ton more about the game until E3, but an Activision representative said,

"Marvel: Ultimate Alliance delivers a new twist on action/RPGs where players' actions and choices ultimately determine what happens to the Marvel universe."



Usually, a statement like this means the player's actions will dramatically affect nothing more than a pointer's position on a slider bar with a skull on one side and a happy face on the other. But judging by how good X-Men Legends 2 was, and the workaholism it requires to jam 140 characters into a game, we can count this being awesome.

Doesn't matter how many characters it has if it's still a shitty game (which being a marvel game, it probably will be)

It doesn't even cover the X-Men, and you know they're going to be the majority.

Seriously. What kinda crap is this? There are thousands of characters in the universe, and you can only play as 20? I mean, granted if they put many more in, they'd be more or less clones of other characters with different skins thrown on them, but jeez. That's not even gonna cover all of the big stars.

Jubilee and Dazzler better be playable in a minigame in which they have sex with each other. Because that's all those two are good for.

Amen. They're like the family guy episode where the family all got super powers and Meg's was that her fingernails could grow long.
