They'll probably do online too...maybe. Local co-op is 100% confirmed since they did shitloads of that at E3. Luckily, if you're not doing co-op, you won't have those rings around the characters while you're playing. That really distracted me during the E3 vids.

I wonder if you'll be able to drop the other 3 in the team and solo the whole game literally by yourself, no NPCs to help or hinder you. That made playing as Dark Phoenix in the PSP version of X-Men Legends 2 REALLY loving fun. I might pull that out and play it for a while before M:UA 3 drops.

Does anyone know if you can pre-order games on Prime Day and still get to use special Prime Day Amazon money? I got $10 from Whole Foods coming and would love to get some cash off of this game.

Though, Prime Day is 16-17 this year and it may be too late to preorder it when you're so close to launch.

Two of my favorites too Eddain.

There must be some internal poll that says Gambit and Iceman aren’t popular yet everywhere I turn, both of them have incredibly strong fan bases.

I really don’t get it. Iceman especially.

Iceman's been in all 4 Xmen Legends/MUA games. Gambit was in XLegends 2/MUA2. I'd say both are probably going to be in the expansion pack. Gotta save some characters for DLC.

Marvel Knights will probably be Moon Knight, Shang Chi, Cloak+Dagger, and Punisher

I want to solo this with Thor. Just Thor. No NPCs.

Though, my biggest gripe is making Rocket and Groot one character. It's like making Wolverine and Collosus one character just because of the fastball special.

it works since separately Groot isn't interesting enough on his own and his shapeshifting aspect got co-opted by Ms Marvel. I'm sad Colossus isn't playable though and neither is Thing (yet) so I guess Hulk/Wolverine will be the default fastball duo, assuming this feature is even in the game?

I've seen a lot of videos saying unlockable costumes are in but I've never actually seen any of them, only the reward screens for Rifts telling you about them. MUA had at least 4 per character.

That was Vicarious Visions with Activision. Vicarious isn't touching this one and it's a reboot to the series anyway. They probably should've called it M:UA: The Black Order and dropped the 3 since it's not in the same continuity but eh. :v:

Every character gets a team up move even if it’s just simply elemental buffs. I have seen footage of the fastball special specifically so I assume there will still be some deep cut team up moves.

Yea, which was good because it defaulted you to that dumb Ultimate Thor outfit. And yea, don't just give us one alt costume which is some half rear end thing cooked up by the design team.

I think this is a thing Marvel's doing with their games now. Even the mobile ones. They let Netmarble make their own characters (Captain America - Sharon Rogers), Insomniac got to make their own Spidey Suit as well as multiple others, Crystal Dynamics....uhhh...I dunno. I guess the base suits are something they came up with?

Then you have the base suits in this one. Wolverine's and Spider-Man's come to mind.

I'm glad Wolverine actually is in a suit because for most of the old games they just literally made him "dude in a shirt and jeans" for his default or even just a generic uniform with no mask. He has an awesome costume as long as you put mesh detail into it like MUA2 and this game does.

Sort of. I saw the behind-closed-doors demo at E3, and if you know the comics, you can tell where their inspirations were. Cap's outfit is clearly based on the armored suit from a particular writer's run on the Avengers comics, Black Widow's is her usual comics suit with a few MCU-style additions, and Thor's wearing the chain mail from J. Michael Straczynski's run on his comics about 15 years ago. I think the only character who's been shown so far who actually has a Crystal Dynamics original is Iron Man.

Game's still under review embargo, but Famitsu gave M:UA 3 some pretty high scores.

https://www.nintendoenthusiast.com/2019/07/10/marvel-ultimate-alliance-3-earns-33-40-review-score-from-famitsu/

33/40, or 8/8/9. I don't know exactly how they do things but I'm assuming this is good?
