@Ecks: Ah, I didn't know that, good to know.

ggodo

@ggodo: Def Jam Icon was also by EA Chicago, and was a fighting game.

So another fighting game by the same team...

For a more on-topic comment: "Marvel Nemesis sucked!"

:)

Ecks

@Ecks: Are you in the right thread? What has Def Jam got to do with anything?

ggodo

I was looking forward to this - so long as it was better than Def Jam Icon! Def Jam Icon looked good but didn't have the feel of the old games at all. :(

Ecks

this game would be sick if it was a marvel version of War of the Monsters. Thats what I thought it would be like, after hearing of the destructible environments

madbassman39

2 sega dreamcast hd vamp xbl enabled games released every 6 months. Then when the Xbox 720 come out 2010 release the game
fall 2011. Over $1 billion in overall revenue!!

TheTimeisback

@suya123: Indeed!

Quilt

All sega dreamcast games on xbla. And make Marvel vs. Capcom 3

TheTimeisback

@SonOfAsgard: Yea, ok. Why is he such a big deal? He really has never been an a list or even really a b-list hero. I mean, anything he can do, Cap can do better. why not have Cap?

ggodo

@ggodo: Nope. Its USAgent. He wore it when he quit being Cap for a while...it was essentially the same as his "Nomad" identity.

SonOfAsgard

@mergedwarrior: could be, but that seems like an odd thing to show. Who knows? I always thought it odd that U.S. Agent qualified for the video games, while Sasquatch didn't. WE NEED MORE ALPHA FLIGHT IN GAMES!

ggodo

Screw this! I want Marvel Vs Capcom 3.

suya123

Yeesh. The link's already dead?

spiderweb1986

@ggodo:

Or it could be a "Captain America Concept Alternate Costume"

mergedwarrior

@Scott3D: Not Marvel vs. Capcom good. More of a rent when your friends come over to play for a bit, and, even then, worse than Bloody Roar.

ggodo

@OoBaSNoRk: Jack's British, that's not the right flag. It could be old school Cap though. I dunno.

ggodo

@Alkohal: nemesis was good

Scott3D

@AngelMayLaugh: I just wish I could have had a chance to buy the damn game. That was THE game my buddies and I played, back when I had no PS2. Man those were good times. Ryu, War Machine, and Jin. Bring it on.

ggodo

I was fortunate enough to have a couple of the developers on this project come to my school and show us a concept video of this game earlier this year. It was only a couple weeks later that the EA Chicago news hit. I didn't think I'd ever see the game again though which is sad because it looked promising.

cranium

@ggodo:
Ohhh yeahh that guy! I used to have a Union Jack card when I collected comic cards in like 1990 so that was my first guess.

OoBaSNoRk

oh well....there's always DC to look forward too..

kingme

@ggodo: Only in our dreams.

AngelMayLaugh

Damn, salt in the wound.
"See what you'll never play? Looks fun, huh? Sucks to be youuuuuuu...." :(

ShaggE

@OoBaSNoRk: No. I think that's U.S. agent. Who is ironically a member of Alpha Flight now.

ggodo

But now how can I play a game as Union Jack? That is him isn't it?

OoBaSNoRk

@Absent Blue: its called Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

taftsearlobe33

I was one of the few people really really looking foward to this one, I'll admit I was disappointed when it got cancelled.

Chuco

Strange, they look like action figures. I remember seeing this demoed on Gametrailers TV, looked erection inducing.

Le-Rectum

We can definitely used a Jack Kirby Marvel game, I have spoken.

Absent Blue

Can we give Marvel back to Capcom? Please?
I want them to at least re-release Marvel vs. Capcom 2

ggodo

With the launch of a trio of big fighter franchises, this would have sunk to the bottom of the sea.

RaptureScientist

@Alkohal: Tru dat.

God, this had the potential to be such a fangasm. Why, EA? Why?

Aethyr

well I guess it couldn't have been worse then nemesis.

Alkohal

The reason it was canned.
It wasn't a sports game.

CreativeCat89

@ggodo: Meh. Megaman, Sakura, and Ken. Ultimate team.

AngelMayLaugh

@Ecks: Not so correct, Def Jam Icon 2 was being worked on by the Def Jam Icon team - that game is rumored to have featured a create-a-song feature along the lines of Guitar Hero: World Tour.

lighten up, morrissey

lol an ea made fighting game would make soul calibur 3's balance seem good.

maraxusofk

i saw the other screen with captain america on it and it looks cool, us agent looks like a DIY holloween costume

icko

Come on Capcom/Marvel, make Marvel vs Capcom 3. I'll buy a copy for every single console I own if you make it.

y2julio

I remembered seeing video of it on gametrailers tv one time and thought to myself "It looks like shit". If it was an actual fighting game, I would've considered looking forward to it. Here's looking forward to MvC3! *crosses fingers*

Hearts_Are_1

Sounds like a good game maybe the engine for it was crappy? Or maybe they made the programers work on the new Madden title???

CrashOverride777

@y2julio: I really don't see a reason for them not to make a third installment, maybe EA got in the way or Capcom is too busy making SF IV. What would be really cool if Capcom VS Marvel 3 made with the SF IV engine!

CrashOverride777

It's US Agent, people.

toolverine

@SonOfAsgard: Ah, man, that Nomad was such a good series, as brief as it was. The closest thing to a Captain America comic that I ever picked up, I had all but forgotten it. Looks like they gave him a cheap death.

tk.

@prelude97: Down for me too.

AFreak3000

link is down for me. anyone else?

prelude97

Like it's been said about 90 times, it's probably an alternate costume. The trailer I remember seeing Cap in had him wearing his Ultimate World War II costume, complete with the dorky-ass goggles.

SonOfAsgard

No loss, a fighting game not made by Capcom, SNK, or Sega isn't really worth a second glance anyway. Didn't EA make Shaq-Fu? LOL...

vidgmr

Didn't Marvel Nemesis blow? The only way to make an amazing fighting game with these characters would be to make them look like their comic counterparts in graphical form, like they were illustrated (porbably cel shaded) and make it Marvel vs. DC. That may never ever happen but it would be awesome.

kylo4

Like it has been said before, it is not alternate costume. It is US Agent

[en.wikipedia.org]

Monte2

here is a link to the Game Head episode that showed footage of what EA Chicago had completed on the Marvel fighting game (starts at 4:00 minutes in).

[www.gametrailers.com]

your welcome.

icarusprime

Not enough gangsters, not enough licensed music -- looks like a good game, I can see why EA canned it

Snake726

I have a serious Jones on for some kind of Nintendo vs. Marvel game.

Chadders

Geezes! I knew this game existed! I remember seeing EA Chicago?? interviewed during devolopment on Gametrailers TV on Spike. THE ONLY MARVEL FIGHTING GAME I WANT IS MARVEL VS SNK/CAPCOM. All other marvel games can eat sh*t. PLZ PLZ PLZ GIB ME another Marvel vs !

mash25

Marvel was smart enough to buy back its superhero movie rights and start up Marvel Studios that hit us all over the head with Iron Man... there is always hope they will start up their own MMO studio for this in the future...

sabriel

@vidgmr: uhm...Namco and Arc System Works

pandafresh

@Monte2:

Yeah it's obviously a USAgent costume, but it was probably an alternate uniform for Captain America seeing as how they are practically identical characters.

Guitaratomik

"I take the bottle and I tip it to all my heroes that have passed
Alas, you have left us, but your stories they will last..."

Oh well, maybe that Capcom VS Marvel 3 rumor will come to pass.

Zviosif

@taftsearlobe33: Marvel Ultimate Alliance has a Jack Kirby style you say? You're sadly mistaken my friend, the designs are more along the lines of those created in the Marvel's Ultimate universe, y'know, like the title says?

Absent Blue

I programmed the environmental destruction for this game.

synchronicity

If it truly ever gets greenlighted again then it needs more Marvel Zombies.

Tull

@ggodo:

If it's mainly for the Fighting games.
