The Avengers kill people all the time in both the movies and the comics.
Most Marvel heroes have no problem with killing their enemies.

Really not hard to figure out at all, the film was hugely successful.

You know the games are not gonna be influenced by that run. Don't set him/her up for disappointment.
Daredevil is one of the bigger exceptions to that, at least concerning characters already introduced in the MCU.
I know you're hurt about Deus Ex, but come the fuck on. You know why people want this. It was a hugely successful movie and millions loved it.
Deus Ex didn't sell. This will. The world moves on.
Marvel's actually been pretty good about referencing the DnA stuff as of late (seeing as it was the main inspiration for the movie), especially in the recent GotG cartoon. Hell, even "flark" has been used more in both the show & the comics (most recently by Sam/Kid Nova in Nova #2 when fighting the Cancerverse monster that followed Richie back to Earth). Hopefully the Duggan run continues that trend, especially with the return of the Nova Corps (which will likely be touched on in the new Nova run, likely with Richie & Sam enlisting new Novas).

Good because Deus Ex's world and gameplay are boring.

Spider-man too.
I was mostly talking about the MCU Avengers roster (Iron man, Black widow, Captain America etc..)
I'm only basing this off the movie which I didn't enjoy very much, and fail to find anything there to like. Especially as a fan of Gunn's previous work too like Slither and Super. Sorry. I get the business decision behind this, but still dissapointed by it.

If this is true Mankind Divided just gets more disappointing. Such a weak ending that clearly is meant to set up other games and then just leaving it.
But at least we're getting a Guardians game, so that's nice.

Fuck you Square Enix. It's not our fault you didn't trust next gen, and tried to turn your ips in service based pc games. Might not be our fault, but we're the ones that will suffer for it.
At least we might get a good Marvel game that isn't MVC or Spiderman.

Stun gun? MCU Avengers have no problem killing people, they do it all the time.

Aren't Telltale also making a Guardians of the Galaxy game? Why have 2 studios working on the same property when you have so many to choose from?

I have to admit I was really looking forward to a good Iron Man game.

This'll be the second GotG game. I guess like with Warners' DC based games, it's all about the biggest properties. Oh well.
I didn't even like the movie but Ant-Man would be a really interesting game for the size changing mechanic alone. If connected to the movie, they could have it about Hank Pym's adventures in the past.

KNACK 2 baby! We already have that covered.
You have to think about this from the publisher's perspective.
There's zero point in using an IP that won't sell, and the IP has to match the style and interests of the developer.
I wouldn't count on it, but it would be cool.

I've watched 4 or 5 Marvel movies, and I feel burned out for life on all things Marvel. I really couldn't care less about this, and find it rather sad to see them going from original IP to licenes.

Because the film was excellent and very successful? Because they have a sequel out this year? Because Guardians can be the gateway to more daft cosmic shit and characters in the MCU?

I'm getting my dream Spidey game. I'm getting a proper Avengers game. Telltale is making a GOTG title and Marvel Heroes is still running and fantastic... I'm set.
Everything else is just gravy at this point.

Will be shocked if we don't see a Captain Marvel game given the relentless push she's getting.
It's a shame a lot of the good cosmic characters are tied up with the Fantastic Four license.
Assuming that the Avengers game comes out around 2019-2020, I'd be shocked if Captain Marvel wasn't a playable character in that game.
And of course Captain Marvel is gonna get a relentless push with her MCU film coming up.

Cool. Bring back the 2008 costumes and include Phylla-Vell, Adam Warlock and Cosmo and I'm in.
We'll probably get Cosmo, but I'm not sure if they'll go full-on 2008 costumes with this game. At best, we may get a mix of the 2008 costumes & the movie designs (like the costume that Star-Lord currently has in the comics).

So is this a PS4 exclusive like Spider-Man? Are Insomniac and Square the two devs building Marvel's gaming universe for Sony?
Not that its a big deal, and it would be cool if it was multi-plat so everyone could enjoy. Just wondering if this is like Spider-Man for Sony.

Don't see Square making an exclusive game for anyone. Maybe a year console timed exclusive like a Tomb Raider thing, but doubt it.
Well, shouldn't shoot (kick) the messenger. But this is really disapointing. To shelve such great and original long lasting video game IP to make licensed games instead. Hopefully it can come back some day.
Seeing as Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite & Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy aren't PS4-only, I wouldn't count on it.

Damn.. Kingdom Hearts 3 is gunna probably be heavy on the MCU stuff.

No; the only ones which will be exclusive are the ones published by Sony. At the moment we've no reason to expect they've got any licenses aside from Spider-Man.
Indeed it does. Hopefully SE delivers if this is true.

Yeah, I'd play this game.
Seriously though, the movie Guardians aren't really my bag so I hope they mix in more of the 2008 stuff and make the game have some actual gravitas. Extra points if its like this.
