As for PC gaming, it has been on the fringe of next-gen gaming for a long time now. Consoles reign because they don't force you to upgrade every time a new title comes out and they aren't outdated in 6 months.

Yep I know but I still way prefer PC gaming. The only games I really love are easily customizable and moddable.

Sweet, great find. The moves all look the same to me though. I guess I won't really know till I play it.

Podmark · September 11, 2009, 03:08:11 AM

Oh Rick how did you let them do this to you in a video game too?

at least they did good job creating...very high detail there

captmorgan72 · September 11, 2009, 11:02:10 AM

Oh, very cool. I actually would have preferred Blonsky but Rick will do. Looks like Rick's Abomination is loads tougher than Emil's anyway.

AfghanAnt · September 11, 2009, 12:30:41 PM

Didn't we get that costume last time?

Yep, way preferred Blonsky but they seem to have done a nice job with what they had to work with. The original abomination would have really been sweet to see though.

Costume spoilers

Spoiler

Gambit is Death, Ironman's his classic armor, and Deadpool gets his Ultimate get-up. http://s1008.photobucket.com/albums/af204/mayyou/

murs47 · September 11, 2009, 03:30:57 PM

nice find AA, while i never liked the way he was written, i do dig Deadpool's ultimate look.

daerdevil · September 11, 2009, 03:44:46 PM

Theoretical DLC to get classic costumes. One more reason I'll wait for the price drop. I don't mind the DLC milking too much, but it definitely makes me think twice about shelling out $60 on the initial release.

Glad to see that Ironman gets a classic alternate. The Daredevil one actually looks good to me (much better than that black armored one he had in the comics).

AfghanAnt · September 11, 2009, 04:42:56 PM

Urgh...So do you guys want to know who the secret character is...

Spoiler

frelling Robo Nick Fury...

yeah they pulled a Cyber-Akuma on us...

O wow

Nice find AfghanAnt!

Spoiler

Very cool to see Tony in his classic armour and Ultimate Deadpool is decent. The secret character really really ticked me off. I thought for sure it was going to be Nova. They better have an unbelievable story behind this RoboFury.

What I do NOT approve of, however, is paying for stuff that is either already on the disc (Street Fighter 4, Resident Evil 5) or stuff that should have been already included in the game (Prince of Persia, and again, Street Fighter 4).

What was already on the disc that you paid for and what should have been include that wasn't for Street Fighter 4?

I might be wrong about this, but wasn't the classic costumes for each character already included on the disc and they made you pay for it to unlock? If not, then this is definitely something I think should have already been on the disc, free of charge. And c'mon, if DLC is going to be released a month after the game releases, then why isn't the full game just pushed back a month so they can include it? Like I said, some games utilize DLC in a great way, including MUA1. I don't mind paying extra for new characters they release 6 months to a year later. But if I see an announced character pack a few weeks after release you'll get to buy before halloween, I know I'm not the only one who's going to be ticked off.

and I'm not saying those who work on the new stuff shouldn't be paid. They definitely should. But they need to make DLC worth it and not feel like a ripoff.

anyways, back on the game, it seems like each new announcement makes my heart sink more and more. That secret character takes the cake. is that for real?

All the SF4 characters we in classic costumes on Xbox360, you have to unlock additional characters by playing the game (which isn't DLC) and they later had DLC packs for new costumes like this - http://www.consolecuties.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/cammypants580.jpg

captmorgan72 · September 11, 2009, 07:10:22 PM

Wow! The MUA2 boards are on fire with outrage and anger over the reveal of the "secret character".

Previsionary · September 11, 2009, 10:10:27 PM

maybe this is a late april fool's joke? Also, what's with the lack of magic characters this time around? No Scarlet and no Strange? Silly Mua2. I figured that had become one of their staple slots.

Talavar · September 11, 2009, 11:16:00 PM

Well, I've got to say that the secret character blows. I wish it was Nova (or about a dozen other characters).

Glitch Girl · September 12, 2009, 01:19:56 AM

(looks at secret character)

(gags)

Out of all the characters in the Marvel roster, they went with THAT?

captmorgan72 · September 12, 2009, 02:14:33 AM

It will all make sense when you play through the game. Check out the launch trailer http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/marvel-ultimate-alliance-2/marvel-ultimate-alliance-2-videos/1348069

thalaw2 · September 12, 2009, 02:46:57 AM

I can't believe this is may not be coming to the PC! Is it because DLC won't fly to well on the PC?

daerdevil · September 12, 2009, 01:52:16 PM

Now this just reinforces why I'm not very excited for MUA2. It seems like the design team just doesn't get it. The costumes are just wrong; the character selection is lackluster; the secret character is just meh--

Spoiler

Fury? Really? there's no other characters to put in? we couldn't find a secret character that wasn't the secret character from MUA? We also had to put him in some redesigned outfit that makes him look like a design reject from Robocop?.

I hate being negative because I'd prefer to see Super Hero games thrive, but this one just gets too many things wrong in my book. Granted, I don't play games for just one unlockable character, but this game looks like it's steered clear of the cool unlockable costumes I expect in this genre.

captmorgan72 · September 12, 2009, 02:08:50 PM

Everyone is feeling the same way on the MUA 2 boards daerdevil. The devs have responded and promised us that it will all make sense when we play the game.

Spoiler

They didn't want the secret character leaking out because they knew this frenzy would happen. They compared it to reading the last chapter of a book first or seeing the last 15 minutes of a movie and thinking it's all idiotic and ridiculous. They asked us to play the game first and if you still feel that way, then go ahead and light your torches and grab your pitchforks.

No. It really does not make sense.

It wouldn't be worth the development time spent on a PC version.

No offense but I think you are making excuses for them. Even if it wasn't leaked it would be incredibly disappointing because of his position in MUA and the completely bastardized the characters concept.

captmorgan72 · September 12, 2009, 04:34:50 PM

AfghanAnt, have you played this game already? No? Then how do you know that it doesn't make sense? Why do you think I am making excuses for them? I haven't played this game yet, I don't know how the story plays out. Finding out who the secret character is before ever playing the game is naturally going to seem strange. It doesn't make sense because you haven't experienced the story yet. Maybe even after the story is told, it will still stink but at least let's give them the benefit of the doubt. These people have poured their souls into this project for years. Your an artist (a damn fine one) so you can appreciate their level of commitment and pride in their creation.

Tomato · September 12, 2009, 04:53:30 PM

... I got a ps3 this last week, so after re-buying MUA1 (long story) and playing it, I was considering the possibility of buying it since I had a next-gen console capable of playing it (since, y'know, jerks aren't putting it out for PC).

However, after seeing the alternates for Storm, Green Goblin, and Robo-Fury... no. I give up.
