“The Avengers game will come when we have the right partner, that has the right vision, that has the time to develop a strong, competitive triple-A title and wants to do it right,” he told IGN. “It has to hit our three pillars: Fun and engaging gameplay, true to the characters, compelling story. Without hitting those notes, we shouldn’t do it. Gamers, they know better. They’re not going to flock to something that’s sub-par.”

“I think the fact that there wasn’t an Avengers game turned out in time for the film is indicative of Marvel’s new attitude and the approach to how we find partners and build games. I think in the heyday of the movie licensed game, these games were popping out all the time and most of them sucked.”

I loved X Men origins though.

 

[Zukuu]

I can see an awesome Obsidiam or Bethesda RPG with the franchise.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

I do wonder who the hell could make this though. Who are the guys that did Marvel Ultimate Alliance? What are they doing? Also, is there any developer that excels at making 4 player co-op games?

 

[SloaneRisette]

Give it to Platinum

 

[Toki767]

In the meantime, enjoy Disney Infinity 2.0.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

It's a good attitude to have, but time will tell if they can actually pull it off.

Would love a Punisher/Widow/Hawkeye game though. A hilariously depressing buddy comedy spy-fi game where occasionally Frank rolls through and decimates the criminal population.

Still amazing why this was canned

http://youtu.be/R84svZiVrmU

It looked really good.

 

[Cameron122]

Remember Captain America and The Avengers beat em up?

That game was fun.

 

[Y2Kev]

Wow, hope they find the right developer.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

nvm

 

[Shanlei91]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance was pretty cool and compelling. With a ton of fan service. Yet I never see it spoken about.

 

[FyreWulff]

Partner with Nintendo and base it off the Pikmin engine. Just Captain America running around literally throwing superheroes at problems

 

[dummydecoy]

Avengers from Telltale Games. Mark my words.

 

[Zeyphersan]

AAA, not mobile. Thank god

 

[BitterSidekick]

WELL H.... oh... we are quiet now. I hope they find too. *prays*

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Platinum Games!

 

[Blackage]

Avengers vs Capcom. >.> *cough* ;p

 

[donkey show]

Something something, give it to Platinum, etc.

 

[vareon]

I'm not even sure what kind of Avengers game I wanted to play.

 

[Aquamarine]

I MISS THE SHOUTING.

:-(


I'm glad that they want to maintain a sense of quality for this title. Very much looking forward to seeing how they'll approach this.

 

[DrBo42]

Avengers from Telltale Games. Mark my words.

Please no.

 

[redmetal86]

Well whatever they do, please give it good Iron Man sections.

 

[Mass Effect]

Interesting. I'd love an Avengers game.

So who would be a good developer for an Avengers game?

 

[RM8]

Avengers vs Capcom. >.> *cough* ;p

A fighter would be really cool. I miss the days when it'd have been a possibility

 

[PaulExcellent]

What did people think of that first-person Avengers concept? That looked fun to me. If it was well-liked, I think they should try it again.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Would love to see Platinum take a crack.

Edit:

Platinum Games!

Yes, exactly.

 

[old manatee]

Nothing gets me hyped for a quality video game like seeing that marvel logo.

 

[jon bones]

I like their attitude... whenever it does show up, I hope it's good

I'm thinkingMission based gameplay, with different heroes tackling levels in different ways.

 

[Instro]

Well that was fun. To reiterate my earlier post, video games seem like a good avenue for lesser characters, similar to what they are doing with TV shows. I still think its weird that they don't just buy a studio or set up one of their own.

 

[plainr_]

I'm glad they think this way now. Movie licensed games deserve better.

 

[Camp Lo]

Anyone say Platinum cuz Platinum

 

[Chettlar]

Three pillars. I like that.

Basically they're saying they don't like the idea of quick, cheap, forgettable cash grabs. Iiiiiiiii like it.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Well that was fun. To reiterate my earlier post, video games seem like a good avenue for lesser characters, similar to what they are doing with TV shows. I still think its weird that they don't just buy a studio or set up one of their own.

If their first game is quality and does really well, they might. I think they want to mitigate their risk the first time around

 

[Log4Girlz]

Tell them I want to crawl around Thano's intestines as ant man

 

[Maligna]

If we get this, I hope it isn't connected to the movie franchise. I'd rather it be comic related so they could use Spider Man and X-men and such.

I know they wouldn't do that though. Gonna have to settle with tactical gear Hawkeye with the shades...

[Phreakuency]

Not possible but I can image inFamous SS with an Avengers theme being very cool.

 

[Namikaze1]

As long as there's a team combo attack where I can shoot an arrow as Hawkbro with Ant-Man attached to it, I'm game.
Or a move where Cap lifts Mjolnir near a downed Thor. Dammit, the possibilities.

 

[Slamtastic]

A fighter would be really cool. I miss the days when it'd have been a possibility

"true to the characters"

Depending on marvel's meaning with that, it could inherently rule out games where Hawkeye can go toe to toe with Hulk.

Spoiler

And "compelling story" rules out Capcom

 

[Jomjom]

Dennis Dyack! He did that Xmen Destiny game!

 

[redmetal86]

Wait a minute, are they specifically talking about a game based on the film, because there was Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, that came out in 2012.

 

[Teknoman]

Capcom. All the best Marvel games have come from them.

War of the Gems style game / stylish action game.

 

[EL CUCO]

Wow, hope they find the right developer.

Thank you, blessed Kev.

Spoiler

I hate yelling

.


Im sure they see how successful the Batman games have been and want a piece of the action. Marvel games have been straight up bargin bin Material.

 

[noobasuar]

Platinum is the only one that could do it justice.

 

[Kriken]

I MISS THE SHOUTING.

:-(

I don't, my ears hurt too much

on topic: I'm glad they don't just throw a series like the Avengers to just any developer and I hope that when the time comes, it can be great

 

[UberTag]

Right developer? I thought they already found the right developer...

 

[Slamtastic]

Data East

 

[Ramirez]

Shame Rocksteady can't do it.

 

[Skelter]

Partner with Nintendo and base it off the Pikmin engine. Just Captain America running around literally throwing superheroes at problems

I would like this.
