yep.
oh well. at least they're working on a marvel sci-fi property instead of some wack avengers game or something. hopefully they make the guardians game an rpg.

After MD a lot of people are not screaming for a sequel. The time is now to get that comic book money. Maybe all this will fund a possible Deus Ex game in 10 years.

Considering they already released a teaser trailer, I'd pretty much call that confirmation
Yeah, the "Avengers Project" confuses me a little, makes me think that it could be a "phase one" of Superhero games that leads to Avengers but yeah, It's pretty much an Avengers game.

shunning deus ex for licensed games WHY
Marvel has little-to-no interest in making games for Fox characters. We don't even know if the rumor of Marvel easing up on the Fox video game ban is true, yet (I sure hope it is, but that has yet to be seen).

I concur
As much as i like pre mcu rocket, gimme adam jensen anyday (for one thing)
Batman doesnt have any superpowers, so you have to engage in hand to hand combat and use his gadgets, but i dont see that happening with the Avenger.
You can one shot everyone

the sad thing about this is that this shit will be hugely successful, and they will continue throwing marvel games at eidos montreal.
i think the franchise is officially buried with this partnership. there's no way the marvel games won't be a success with how big the brand is at the moment.
hopefully square enix acquires another company to work on this stuff in the future or shifts more to crystal dynamics so we can get another deus ex one day.
edit: meant to post in deus ex thread lol. my bad. eh it's related anyways.

Is IO going to be involved in their stupid universe as well? YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH HITMAN

dumbass iron man stun gun that totally feels just like a gun. That's my bet

I bet you'll like the game. lol
Me too. I have loved most of Square's western projects.
I'm going to be bummed about Deus Ex being gutted forever though.

Man horrible first post. GotG is one of their biggest brands now. Groot is more recognizable to mainstream then the flash.
Whooo cares
Lol. at least it would pose some challenge

I hope it will be RPG than straight up action game. GoTG RPG similar to Mass Effect could be awesome.
Yeah I understand how this works. Good job on the deal I guess

that will make this more palatable for sure. they've got a good handle on the genre right now so they should just transplant it to GOTG.

This is 2017
Nobody gives a fuck about superpowers
Unless it is jojo....or one piece....or hunter x hunter
Fact of matter it is, it dosnt matter what powers they do or do not have, with enough creativity any action game be made based on a comic book character
And hey it aint like there werent ironman or avengers games before

Better than getting shut down.
wish they'd just manage Deus Ex better man. No doubt the five year dev cycle probably made the game insanely hard to profit from.
if they got shutdown I would blame Square, not the dev

Guardians? Hell yes. Deus Ex can stay dead.

- imagine Knowhere and Xandar hub world,
- get side mission to locate ancient artifact or do some bounties.
- walk around in your space ship and customize them.
- some space flight shooter mission
- increase friendship with your teammate and get their personal story quest
the more I think about it, the more I want this game.

Would we even get another Deus Ex if this Marvel stuff wasn't happening?
What would they work on then? unless you're thinking about a studio closure.

Think of it either way if you want.
Final Fantasy. Resurrect Grid's project.
Dude why did you edit this? It had useful info man. I was gonna go read up on the 2008 guardians run to get excited for the new game, as the movie did nothing for me.

This is sad to be honest, at least finish the trilogy of Dues Ex first.
Don't give them ideas, they could do The Punisher.
Iron Man is OP and so are the rest of the Avengers. Well... apart from the Black Widow and Hawkeye. As i said, the game would definitely be made, but i don't see it differing much from Lego Avengers game.
I missed a huge opportunity to use that Ms. Marvel gif.
That said, go read the 2008 run. It's straight-up fantastic, & was what brought me back to comics. I believe it was reprinted alongside the release of GotG Vol. 1 (since it was what inspired the movie).

As a first timer you might as well stick with Bendis' run so you know what your getting yourself into. That era of Guardians hardly exists now.
Don't care about Deus Ex, so I'm good with it being put on ice. Guardians is a weird choice, though, seeing as Marvel already has a Guardians game in the works. It's the perfect opportunity to make a game for another property. But hey, I'm game. The more AAA Marvel games, the better.
Although, to be fair, I'm not exactly going to be satisfied with an adventure game for Guardians of the Galaxy, so yeah. I guess this is great. Would've been preferable if Telltales simply chose a different franchise, I suppose.
Sure hope whatever it is won't end up being in first-person, though. I already prefer third-person games over first-person games in general, but more so when it's for a superhero franchise. I get the immersion factor with the first-person view, but I wanna see Spider-Man and Batman and whoever the hell else doing all the cool shit they'll be doing.
Curious, though, that so far, aside from Spider-Man, the games in development are all team-based. Infinite too, in a way, since it's going to be 2 vs. 2.

This is the wrong way to think of it. Square Enix didn't pursue and 'get' the Marvel license because their franchises were doing well but this is just a bit better, they had a franchise that they considered to be failing so this seemed like the best decision.
Deux Ex Mankind Divided was one of my favourite games of last year but it heavily under-performed and its unlikely SE would have just made another one if they couldn't do something else.
DO NOT CHECK OUT THE BENDIS RUN!!!
If you want a newer GotG run to read, might as well wait for the Duggan run to come out in the near future.
Doesn't have to be new, just has to be good!
