How is Team Ninja as a dev? Are they good or better than Ravensoft and Vicarious Visions at least?

bushisms.txt posted:They are currently working on nioh2 and nioh 1 is considered one of the better souls variations and arguably better in the combat. So probably won't be too bad then. I've not played those games, are they pretty long? Any chance of the series being dumbed down even more than XML1 to 2 to M:UA 1 to M:UA 2? Last time with M:UA, Vicarious Visions tried to scale people to their comic selves so I wonder if they'll try that here too.

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.

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.

Tin Can Hit Man posted:They better not cheap out like they did last time and only give each character one phoned-in costume. 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.

twistedmentat posted: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.

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?

Evil Canadian posted:I am quite confident the game will be good, as the formula is hard to mess up. The worst game in the ultimate alliance/xmen legends series is ultimate alliance 2, and its still a fun romp. M:UA 2 was fun as hell...maybe I should pop it in the PS3 and play it a little bit... The story just...wasn't...that great to be honest, but I know the devs tried to make the characters fun, at least. I was around on HeroHQ back when that was a thing and the devs were super active. Glad to see Psylocke finally got in!

I tried to play some of X-Men Legends 2 on PSP the other day. I really, really need M:UA 3 now. Dark Phoenix is completely OP and is 100% immortal. Also there's the glitch that made Iron Man immortal too in X-Men Legends 2. That was fun. They couldn't fix it either.

Fritzler posted:I assume to make the packs slightly cheaper to make the X-men pack will have Cyclops and Colossus and the Knights pack will have Jessica Jones if they're not in the base game. How was the DLC for that anyway? Pretty decent for the price? The only recent DLC I've gotten is Spider-Man PS4 and the costumes were good but the story was really, really hard.

I saw the leaked game before it was removed and I gotta say, the game looks pretty fun but I'm worried that there won't be much to the game in terms of length. What the guy showed while playing was literally the exact same levels Nintendo showed during the Treehouse streaming. The only spoiler was the costume and a few cutscenes (that I skipped over anyway). There didn't seem to be any framerate issues as far as I could tell. I guess it was 30FPS? I'm low vision so unless it's like 20FPS, I'm probably not going to notice it anyway. The real issue for me was the length. The guy'd been playing for a while (even before the video started) and he was already 40/114 cutscenes. I'm not sure how Team Ninja did with their other games, but I'm worried this is going to be pretty short. Spider-Man PS4 was about 16 hours, so 15 would be nice but what if it's 12 or so and they just pad with a lot of Infinity Trials? Speaking of those Trials, the guy showed one off with Spider-Man to get the suit. It looked kind of short and not very involved. But he said in the comments that the others were much harder and the suit is actually the very first one you get in the game so they probably didn't want to make it too hard. I probably should stay off the subreddit since they're doing nothing but nitpicking and complaining and it's making me worry too, hah.

12 - 15 hours shouldn't be too bad. Edited this post because I'm gonna have fun with this no matter what and I'd rather not spread negativity. But if Beast gets in AND gets his cat form for a costume then this will be the best Marvel game of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B0ttLnDzOU ThermoPhysical fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Jul 16, 2019 |

Looks like previews will be up tomorrow and reviews will be up Thursday. Also, there should be a day 1 patch on Friday, but you'll get the patch today if you preordered the digital version. Gavok posted:Thunderbolts was a drat good comic (recent relaunch excluded), so it was nice to see her get more spotlight for once. I loved her powers too. It wasn't Psylocke but it was still good. One of the Vicarious Vision developers REALLY wanted Psylocke in and even made a mock-up M:UA 2 Gold Edition cover for if they ever made one with Psylocke front and center. I wish I saved that because it was really cool.

Fritzler posted:What are you talking about? Psylocke was DLC for MUA2 and totally in the game (just not base). It was an x-men heavy dlc including Cable and Magneto. Yeah they got her in for DLC but she wanted to have her on the cover for the supposed Gold Edition if the game went that far. The game was years ago. I'm misremembering some things but yeah. Honestly, the buying of Marvel by Disney really complicated things. The only reason the DLC came back was due to fans making a huge fuss on HeroHQ and emailing Activision. Disney, Marvel, and Activision were officially done with it and the fan backlash pushed them to allow it for 6 more months.

It's like all of the X-Men Legends / M:UA games where you can pick all four characters and switch to whoever you want as you play on the fly. However, it's unlike the other games where you MUST have four in a team. You can't have just one or two or three.

bushisms.txt posted:No it's a first party game. Disney asked nintendo to make the game, then Nintendo contracted team ninja to make it for them. If it's a "2nd" party game so are Pokemon, Luigi's Mansion, the last of us and Spider-Man. Except the only Nintendo games called first party are usually the ones made by Nintendo themselves. Who made BotW, Smash, and the various Mario main title games? I don't know anyone who calls Pokemon, Luigi's Mansion, TLoU or Spider-Man first party games. Maybe Pokemon though, but not the others.

Nintendo posted all of that on the official Twitter (with pictures), not sure if it's spoiler. However they also posted that they only showed "a few" of the Marvel Knights characters. ...Does Team Ninja do large DLC packs or something?

Beta Ray Bill was an alternate costume for Thor. I'm not sure if the Deadpool costume is preorder only, I think it's just like the Smash Bros. one where you buy it, you get the costume.

Woozy posted:First hour or so down... game kinda sucks. I was hoping for something closer to X-Men Legends, I guess. And not as badly dumbed down as MUA2. Also they picked the worst possible way to do a Marvel videogame which is to try, and inevitably fail, at recreating the characters as they appeared in the movies. I don't have the game yet, but I tried playing XML 2 on PSP yesterday and it just...doesn't age well at all. M:UA ages pretty decently but there's so many issues I had with 2 like way too much useless gear (which apparently is back in M:UA 3 with super number-based stats that don't mean anything) or characters you'll never use or just super cluttered rooms and stuff. I don't know. I loved M:UA 1 and 2 wasn't THAT bad..the story wasn't great to me, but eh. Also, trying to recreate the movie characters but not so much is basically Marvel's whole deal with everything except the comics (sort of) and Crystal Dynamics' game.

Woozy posted:I just had a look at the upgrade system and at a glance it's the laziest, most pointless poo poo imaginable. There's not one single thing you can do across like three different "skill" trees that will change anything to do with how the character plays or interacts with the world--it's just raw attribute boosts in every case. I hope I'm missing something because even just cutting out progression entirely would be better than this idle clicker approach to RPG mechanics. According to (I believe) IGN's review, no. That's really all there is to it. Does it really not make the character stronger or have better defense or something?

Scarlet Witch is becoming my absolute favorite. Also I'll hop on the Discord later and see what's up! Just exploring the game for a bit. The camera isn't the best but that's just in Heroic Mode so Classic Mode is fine at least. I wish Rocket and Groot were separate, but eh, you can technically have five characters with them on a team so that's fine. Out of the Guardians though, Star Lord is fun to play. Spider-Man and the rest of the Spiders are pretty fun too.

Scarlet Witch is probably the best once she gets Hex Bolt. She's pretty much a glass cannon (almost all of them are, really) but flying around to avoid bombs and lasers and...god I love this game. I just wish you could attack mid-air without swooping down all the time.
