Glad it's out, but i'll wait for a sale.

 

[Professor Beef]

Dat Monster Hunter money???

It's kinda funny that you think they can compare in sales.

 

[Unit24]

I honestly find this more depressing than exciting. This really does sound a lot like the Prototype re-release, in which it's less about re-injecting life into a dead franchise and more about digging up its corpse and throwing it out to the masses for one last cash grab. Those prices are absolutely ridiculous, and the fact that it's being announced days before release makes me think it'll be a lazy port job like Prototype apparently was.

 

[brawly]

60 bucks? Ha. I'll buy it down the line tho.

 

[InsaneTiger]

Action-RPG.

Bought

I'll buy it. I'm a total whore for remasters

Same here.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Glad it's out, but i'll wait for a sale.

Activision tends to take a WHILE before putting stuff on sale, sadly.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Release the gates on MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3!

 

[JP]

Damn, that's more than I was expecting and more than I'm willing to pay. I think both games for $39.99 is what I would have been happy to spend.

 

[nicoga3000]

I'll definitely pay $60 for this. No DLC planned, though?

 

[Obliterator]

This games are brilliant. Buying for sure $60 for both is plenty worth it

 

[MattKeil]

No DLC, no sale.

 

[EventHorizon]

I was pretty excited about this but then I realized that I have the games for the 360 and could play them right now if I wanted. If these are going to be mostly straight ports, then I see little reason to plop down $40/ $60 bucks for them. Although for nostalgia, convenience, and longevity, I'll probably pick them up once they drop significantly in price.

 

[shiftplusone]

the early pacing of MUA1 is straight garbage

atlantis section is awful, arcade section is awful(that fake pitfall thing brings the game to a screeching halt)

i'll play em both anyway

 

[Stainless]

I'm curious why the x360 versions are available digitally (although still $30 each, heh) but for playstation 3 you have to buy the physical version?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

guys, are these REMASTERS (updated visuals) or basic re-releases? I looked but it wasn't clear to me.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Knowing Activision worse than basic rereleases.

 

[Toki767]

Actually Prototype and Deadpool have been on sale multiple times already.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

Seems like it's digital only. Oh well.

 

[Katori]

Back when the PS3 versions came out, PS3 games weren't distributed digitally. Might've been the same for 360, but I feel like MS offered an easier path to digital distribution, whereas Sony's was a little more arcane. Not sure exactly but a lot of physical games are missing from PS3.

 

[Drilbit777]

I'm in for the pc version but is at least getting the dlc?

 

[H3rTz DoNuT]

I find the price kinda high, I could pay $20 each or $40 both but since I still have both games on Xbox 360 with the dlc I see no reason to buy it at the full price.

 

[JdFoX187]

Awesome, if they'e decent ports, I'll buy the bundle. Loved these games last gen.

 

[Karak]

Reviewing them soon. Going to be an interesting set of titles and seeing what they bring to the table. Unexpected as hell

 

[ShinMaruku]

I would lovee to have the psylock dlc in did pack.

 

[NegativeCero]

Never got around to playing these. Perfect for me.

 

[Kyzon]

Kinda need this, but I don't have 60 laying around right now. Gotta be an adult and pay bills

 

[PhantomZone]

Day 1 purchase on all 3 platforms, loved those games so much

But I enjoyed X-Men: Legends 1 & 2 more!

 

[Jinfash]

I remember the second one being good. But is the first worth playing?

 

[Booker Dewitt]

Reviewing them soon. Going to be an interesting set of titles and seeing what they bring to the table. Unexpected as hell

Looking forward to that, the first one ran like crap the 360 when I tried replaying it years ago.

60 bucks is hard to swallow, but if they run well, may bite.

 

[OneUh8]

No question I will wait for a sale, but I would not mind playing again. Steam winter sale!

 

[Karak]

Ya its going to be very interesting as that price seems...out of proportion in a way.

 

[MrGerbils]

guys, are these REMASTERS (updated visuals) or basic re-releases? I looked but it wasn't clear to me.

From the article:

Marvel.com: Cool! Were there any changes from the original games?

Mike Jones: We wanted these re-releases to be as faithful to the original Ultimate Alliance games as possible—the definitive versions. However, the team did work really hard on improving performance, some UI and graphic enhancements as well as making the games compatible with modern platform features on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. They play really smooth.

Sounds like a very barebones rerelease.

 

[I-hate-u]

WTF so Activision can renegotiate a Marvel contract but Capcom cannot....FFS!!!

Nvm, comment too harsh.

 

[Gunslinger]

From the article:



Sounds like a very barebones rerelease.

yeah sounds very barebones. With no dramatic update i hope they atleast run 60fps on modern consoles.

 

[LongDongJunon]

You guys are still expecting too much.

 

[Gunslinger]

You guys are still expecting too much.

Hey man if capcom offers 60 fps update for re 4,5,6 and sells them for 20 dollars. Then for 40 dollars they should release MUA 1 and 2 in 60 fps. Capcom includes all DLCs too. Not to mention capcom offers physical copies of those games too for 20 dollars.

 

[Dec]

Well, for one thing, Marvel Heroes will inevitably shut down. Two, you only need to pay once (or maybe more than once, if DLC isn't included) to get every hero in Ultimate Alliance.

Life is temporary. I guarantee you will get more time out of Marvel Heroes and more playable heroes for significantly less than $60.

There are 58 heroes in Marvel Heroes. Your comparison is shit.

 

[BronsonLee]

Seems like it's digital only. Oh well.

lol why in the world would they release physical copies of this

 

[ElRenoRaven]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVED THESE!!!

So mine. Day fucking 0!!!!!!!

 

[Undead Fantasy]

lol why in the world would they release physical copies of this

Why not?

 

[Waddle Dee]

$40 is asking way too much for these games.

 

[Pics_nao]

MUA1? I'M SO THERE

 

[styl3s]

$40 is asking way too much for these games.

Expecting them to be $20 or less is asking way too much.

I think $60 ($30 each) is more than reasonable but you can always wait on a sale.

 

[DustyVonEric]

So in there for MUA1!

Not 2 though. MUA2 was butt.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Expecting them to be $20 or less is asking way too much.

They're about a decade old now and they're being released with pretty much zero upgrades.

 

[Mrstriker09]

Ofcourse they would charge 60 smh lol. While other combo games are usually 40

 

[josh924]

60 bucks? Ha. I'll buy it down the line tho.

Yeah, what the hell? How is it that Capcom can re-release RE4 one gen after its original release (on PS3/360) for half the price of a standalone M:UA re-release? Is it really just "because Activision"? I haven't played M:UA2, but I know M:UA1 hasn't aged well enough to cost anything more than $15.

i'm not going to defend activision but i guarantee you the marvel license fee isn't cheap. i don't know how it works with a re-release/re-master though

 

[adj_noun]

Wait for the sale it is.

 

[josh924]

That's actually a very good point. Still, I can't justify spending more than $15 on a game (M:UA1, specifically) just to be able to play it on a current console. I'd like to wait for any sort of sale or price drop, but by then, it could very possibly be delisted again.
