[Roshin]

is this really not even on steam yet? lol

The theory is that it will pop up in the store at midnight. No idea what time zone, though.

 

[RedBoot]

Not having the DLC is the deal-breaker for me. I still have the discs of both games, but I never got the DLC for either. I was willing to shell out for the DLC plus the convenience of playing them on the current gen systems, but $40 for the base game is not happening.

Interesting thought, though: weren't Moon Knight and Colossus exclusive to the 360/PS3/Wii versions? It doesn't seem like they were originally included in the PC version (though I could be wrong there). If they weren't included, and these releases are ports of the PC version, then Acti had to do some legwork to get them in there. In that case, not including the Gold version characters makes no sense.

 

[Nakazato]

X-Men legends next plz

I think it will pop up at Noon CST, that's when the store updates.

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

If this is accurate, it's likely due to the animations being locked to frame rate, which makes 60 fps extremely difficult and expensive to implement.

Welcome to PC gaming.

I wanted to shitpost so bad.. But what you said is good enough

 

[Grief.exe]

The original PC version of MUA1 can be 60fps though.

Hate to be negative but I think the re-release of MUA1 is based on the PC version that didn't have the DLC characters which explains why the new one doesn't and the new one was locked at 30fps because optimization is much easier if you only target 30fps.

That kills that possibility then. This port has the potential to be disastrous.

How was the initial PC version?

 

[fastballspecial]

I bought the bundle because I'm a fucking sucker. I'll report back with any important findings in awhile.

Ugh. I hate myself.

did the same thing lol

 

[User 479360]

Press release I found says Xbox One is the 28th in NA. I'm not sure if that's been mentioned.

 

[TheHater]

Will wait for a sale. Not including the DLC made it not worth it.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Activision doesnt do sales mate

Spiderman and Deadpool were on a 50% off sale last weekend. They do sales, just not great ones that encourage impulse buys.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

The PS store says this is 1 player, with 2-4 network players. Is this an error or did they cut local co-op?

And assuming it is just an error, do local co-op players earn progression and unlock rewards and trophies?

It is bizarre that I have to ask these kinds of things about a 'remaster.'

 

[Xyrmellon]

Why would they make a big deal at Comic-Con about a 26th release date and rhen it not come out that day on Xbox? DUMB.

Take full advantage of the Marvel Universe by playing Cooperative Mode with up to four friends, both online and offline.

Shouldn't it pop up at 1pm EST? That's the normal time for games to go up on steam. Of course you could be a diff time zone though.

 

[ryseing]

Ugh. I hate myself.

I need something new to play and have two weeks until NMS, plus I've always wanted to play these games.

UGH I hate myself. Should wait for sale.

 

[Mrstriker09]

Would be funny if the X1 MUA 1 has the DLC lol

 

[FaustsBoon]

What was all the DLC for MUA? I remember buying a little bit of it back in the day, but I recall it being 3 character packs that had two characters each? Wasn't Hulk DLC?

Meh... for shame if they skimped on including DLC in an already pricey remaster/re-release.

 

[haimon]

Would be funny if the X1 MUA 1 has the DLC lol

I wonder if that the cause if the delay...

 

[fastballspecial]

You can play through them both in two weeks. They should still be fun.

 

[Ginger Hail]

Would be funny if the X1 MUA 1 has the DLC lol

Would be weird if it was some kind of deal made back then for exclusivity still being enforced a decade later. We'll have to wait and see.

 

[Fury451]

To be fair, the DLC for MUA1 only came to 360. Basing it on any other version means they might not have factored them in. Oddly enough the recent 360 XBL rerelease includes the DLC in the base game just like this remaster should have.

Two things I never knew, thanks. Wow, what an odd situation. Have to say that not having the DLC is definitely putting an even bigger pause on buying this for me than the words "Activision port"

Ugh. I hate myself.

I really want both games but I just feel that I'm buying completely blind at the moment.

Not connected to what I've quoted and It could well be my memory playing tricks here but wasn't the Prototype "bundle" discount removed shortly after launch without any notice? I may be thinking about a completely different game but I seem to remember a lot of fuss because the bundle discount was only there for a week or something and it didn't mention anywhere that it was only temporary.

I just remember something like that happening with a quietly released and something tells me it was Prototype. Maybe?

 

[Ginger Hail]

What was all the DLC for MUA? I remember buying a little bit of it back in the day, but I recall it being 3 character packs that had two characters each? Wasn't Hulk DLC?

They did a hero pack with Hulk, Cyclops, Hawkeye, and Nightcrawler and then a villain pack with Doom, Magneto, Venom, and Sabretooth.

 

[fastballspecial]

OK, NEWS. I bought the PS4 bundle.

MUA2 - DLC included, seems to run at 60fps, potentially unlocked. And for anyone that remembers - the PS3 had real bad crushed black issues, not like that on the PS4 release.

 

[illmatic22]

Is Blade in either of these games?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Is Blade in either of these games?

Blade's in the first one IIRC.

 

[haimon]

Blade's in the first one IIRC.

He is, you get him

From the product page on PSN

I'm looking for confirmation from someone who bought it since the page gives contradictory info, and my further question specifically relates to progression unlocks for local co-op.

Sounds like what I wished for MUA1 to be like. Glad to hear at least one of these seems to have turned out well. If only they could fix MUA1 for parity.

Wait, so the second game has it, but not the first? Could it really be Xbox exclusive? Either way, i'm back to interested.

 

[NeonDelta]

I caved and bought the bundle

 

[Tsunamo]

Been wanting these for a long time. Definately keen on it, but like Deadpools current gen port i'll just wait for a decent sale. Launch price is way too steep for me to bite. (though the incentitive of buy both and get a discount is welcome, more publishers should do deals like that)

 

[Zimmy68]

So if I pay $60 for the bundle, you meant to tell me there is no Hulk in MUA1?

Good luck.

Hulk wasn't even considered DLC, what is the excuse?

(I'm going by the artwork on the PSN page, he may be in it).

 

[Coffee Dog]

lol, so we get a good port of the worse MUA. Ah well. Might still play it.

Hulk was definitely DLC in the original.

 

[Experien]

Does this come with all the characters or what? Is there is a list of characters?

 

[Tizoc]

Spiderman and Deadpool were on a 50% off sale last weekend. They do sales, just not great ones that encourage impulse buys.

The 2nd sentence is what i was leaning towards

 

[MechDX]

Hulk was definitely DLC in the original.

Yes he was. When I RE-bought the game for 360 last year I purposely looked for the gold version of the game since he was DLC and you could no longer buy the DLC online.

 

[Quadraphonic]

Hulk was licensed exclusively to Sierra for a while.

Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction came out in 2005.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance was in 2006.
The license to Hulk expired a bit after the game came out, hence how he ended up as DLC for the Xbox 360 version.

 

[Zimmy68]

But wasn't there a version with Hulk out of the box on Xbox?
Maybe a Target exclusive?
I gave my game away but I swore he was on the cover.
And I don't remember buying the gold edition.

 

[BTHR Zero X]

Ok so has it been confirmed that there is no DLC Characters in the Xbone Version? or the PS4 Version for MUA1? Because MUA2 has all DLC.

 

[PadWarrior]

Any good quality vids of ultimate alliance for ps4?

 

[styl3s]

You might be thinking of The Thing because Hulk was not on the cover of MUA1 but he WAS on the cover of MUA2.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Won't know until Thursday I guess.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Both Hulk and Thing are on the cover of Ultimate Alliance Gold Edition.

 

[SirClinksAlot]

Shit, I have like $30 on my XBOX account so Im thinking about going in on the bundle since I never played either but $60 just seems to high for 2 ports.

 

[hidys]

The thing I really can't wrap my head around with the DLC characters being excluded from the original is that I'm pretty sure all of those characters appear in at least some form in either of those games.

So licensing would be an unlikely excuse for excluding them.

 

[Experien]

Won't know until Thursday I guess.

Why Thursday? It comes out today (at least in the US)
