Well it was finally given the go ahead again, and this time they are going through with it. We'll be getting a mmo featuring the Marvel Universe to play around in...the catch: we won't have player made characters like in DCUO, we'll be playing as characters from the marvel universe itself. So one of you out there will actually be Spider-Man another of you will actually be Thor and Iron Man...they mentioned that they can't say yet whether or not villains will be playable yet, oh and it will be free to play as well.

>>25577679 It's been doing that for years. Notice how every majorily backed MMO has failed. Small korean ones still survive because they are CHEAP to maintain in comparison to Age of Conan-level games
And the fault most of them make, which Marvel might avoid, is that you have that monthly fee. That's not how you attract players at all

How exactly is it an MMO if you are playing as the existing characters? I don't understand how this is going to be Massively Multi player and not just multi pl ayer.

>>25578103 Maybe each server has a number of slots that you fill up with the different heroes?

>>25578103 How many heroes are they going to put in then? It would have to be a LOT to consider it massively multi player. If there can only be one of each.

Uhh... No. That's not actually a thing, and you are mixing up your sources.
Marvel Universe Online (the game whose image you're using) WAS being developed, but was cancelled and replaced with Champions Online. (see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Universe_Online )
The game you're DESCRIBING is Marvel Super Hero Squad Online, which is already out. (see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Hero_Squad_Online )
So there y'go. Sorry for ruining a perfectly good thread with the truth.

But they most likely won't.

More seriously, Jefferson said that “it’s not going to be a boys club game, we’re going to have a great sampling of female characters.” I'm getting the feeling we're going to get like, 5...

Black Cat better be in there somewhere too as well as emma frost, firestar, valkyrie, elektra, mockingbird (would play the fuck out of), ms. marvel, namora (would play the fuck out of). So many choices they could pick from it'd be a injustice to only have a few, although after mvc3 i wouldn't put it past them to only have a handful
