mmm not mcu related but ill consider it
she melee focused?
So is the general consensus that the PC version is going to die and not get updated due to the console versions?

I think the PC version was already dying, console or not. They've kind of hail mary'd a console port out, but I'd be shocked if it works out. I think both versions will kind of limp along until their contract with Marvel runs out, and that'll be that.
Everything about MH right now reminds me of Avengers Alliance about 1 year out from when it shut down. You could pretty much call it then, and I think a lot of people are doing the same here.
I think it depends on if they are able to get it in the faces of the right audience. As it stands there are almost zero games for current gen systems in which you can play as marvel superheroes and I think the films have built a demand that really hasn't been met on consoles. MVC is a start but fighting games are only so popular.
If Gaz sees a return from the console port and then actually supports the game I think it could be very successful on consoles.
I think in theory this is true, and it's what they're banking on. I think in practice they're coming in too under the radar, the game is too expensive for consoles, and the port itself is a bit of a technical mess.
Once it gets into open beta and people start leveling for real, I think you're going to see a lot of complaints about the lack of endgame and the weird changes they've done to the itemization. I think player retention is going to be a big issues on consoles given how slow Gaz is on releasing updates and fixing technical issues.
The general consensus of crazy people, maybe.
Maybe, admittedly I haven't really followed the game as despite my high interest in comics and in this game I just don't game on PC that much. Comments I've seen have ranged from very good with some saying Gaz has been very generous to players over the years, and others leaning more negative saying they have been super slow to update the game in some important ways.
I always figured the truth was somewhere in the middle since gamers often take things to the extreme but I'll be curious to see what they do moving forward as pushing the game out to consoles and then doing nothing with it seems like a missed opportunity to put it mildly.
Still seems so strange to me that The Avengers at least haven't received a proper current gen game with all the success the MCU has had. All we really know about at all moving forward is the Square Enix published games but no real information on what those will even be.
It's also much more predatory in it's f2p scheme (stash is prohibitively expensive, no random hero box, reworked boosts)
Yes because there has been so much love and energy poured into the PC version in the last year
also you didn't add DISCLAIMER: I WORK AT GAZILLION, you shill
Let's not gloss over the part where players were promised the "Biggest Update Ever," but actually the game was being slowed down and rebalanced for a console release. And those of us that pointed out that these changes were clearly for a console release were called crazy then too.
I can't find any of the official forum threads in which Marvel Heroes devs explicitly denied the movement changes were designed for a console release. I assume they've been deleted. But recall quotes like these:When did this happen? (Serious question)
In order to move forward and generate fresh, exciting game content, we must give Heroes the opportunity to stop and enjoy that content for just a moment. The changes we are presenting here may seem contentious to some, but we do ask for constructive feedback as we get closer to testing. Keep in mind that in the long run, we know that these changes will open the way to better gameplay and more fun.
Any idea when PS4 edition gets out of Beta? Not digging any of the character packs (maybe X-Men but that is $60).
Closed Beta ends on the 16th sounds like Open Beta will start right after.
Thanks! Tempted to jump into this but unsure if I should wait. Anyone know if PS4 co-op works, GiantBomb video showed it not working unless they were doing it wrong.
Seems like a good excuse to install the game again. I know it's probably been answered but i'm on mobile, is the ps4 version patch coming to PC? Would love to play on controller.
No but you can use a gamepad on the pc
Timeline for PC content will be shared next week. Next hero is also being worked on.
Blob VU
Looking forward to seeing what new content we'll be getting in August.
How can they give Storm a chain lightning power and expect me to use anything/anyone else?
Late July - Carnage playable
Late November - Odinson (Unworthy Thor) playable. ,ew powers that change dynamically as he switches between weapons. It's worth emphasizing that this is a new playable not a special costume.
2 terminals, a danger room tileset/boss and a Thor event this year.
3-4 months for "omega" patch, with omega items and difficulty.
We're currently planning to sort of mix the recent comic Odinson, wielding Jarnbjorn, with the general concept of the Ragnarok film's "Thor no longer worthy", who appears to use a mix of weapons and weapon fighting styles. Both are much more in-your-face than our traditional Thor, and we will be using near-zero lightning, as he no longer has Mjolnir to serve as a conduit. He's got some really cool concepts for weapon swapping and builds around which weapons you prefer, and if we continue with that plan, he'll play out very differently from anyone else in the game - including OG Thor.
They offer a discrete and visible chunk of new gameplay that can be built. Any one or two of them could instead become new Danger Room maps, (which we also want to build a lot more of). I am much more interested in expanding and improving our existing modes by adding new stuff to them rather than building a brand new mode.
Yes, (glancing back to an earlier response) X-Def and Holo-Sim are likely to get reworks in 2018. I would like to improve these and expand these.
Who are you guys favorite character? I'm playing it on PS4 I've only played with Iron Man and Black Panther. I'm trying to find someone who's powerful and has good AOE
I'll tell you straight, I don't know the answer to this today. It is dependant on answers to even harder questions that we are trying to fight our way through. I'd love to say tomorrow. I really would. It's actually fun work to improve the heroes and do QoLs on them, and no one here wants the game to feel static. Right now the best answer I have is "later this summer," but I'm trying to change that because I know it's not satisfactory.
I've already brought this up with our audio director. We know there are players who strongly disliked his Team-Up VO and we don't want that to be an issue as a playable.
Hey guys, I heard a new Spider-Man character is going to be pla-
Oh.
Fucking Gazillion.

Spider woman is playable next year
Carnage is a weird thing to call Nico Minoru.
Like I don't think she's ever been called that in anything.
