First Look At EA's Marvel Fighter Tonight On Game Head [Archive]

Maybe EA Chicago could take their Icon concept a step further and place the characters WITHIN a comic book, and have that affect gameplay somehow. Like if a character does moves that take up a certain amount of panels it does more damage or some shit....there are some interesting ideas you could do with that concept. And feel free, you can use that free of charge EA.

Captain America and Juggernaut naw man that already happened in MVC2. Bring out Squirrel Girl and Howard the Duck! If they put some super obscure Marvel heads in it I'll be interested. Spider-Ham oh yeah make it happen. :nunchuck:

Marvel Nemesis was dogcrap, it had potential but fell flat on its face. So i could care less about E.A's latest "effort" with the marvel license if its anything remotely like that.

That's like not playing ST because WW was bad.

Oh, c'mon, there is still a POSBILITY of the game being good. :lol: Optimism people.

Yeah but the less expectations one has, the less likely they are to be disappointed.

Oh, I know. I don't have high expectations. But anything is possible. The game could shock us all. ( I don't expect a terribly deep game. I didn't from nemesis, but game could at least have some kind of fun factor)

TornadoFlame

EA doesn't care about Black People! (in my Kanye voice)

If it was up to EA they'd probably put Wolverine in a throwback jersey and when Iron man finishes off his opponent the screen will say HOMETOWN STARK TOWER or some shit. And Juggernaught comes equipped with a Hit Stick while Magneto gets the Highlight stick. This is the game where they are supposed to be fighting in front of a gas station about to explode, Not DEF JAM ICON. This time the Marvel characters our gonna fight at the Source Awards background, and you know what happen when the first nigga throw a chair.

Why so much hate on marvel nemesis? sure the story mode was complete shit and from a tier-wise standpoint it was nearly as broken as svc chaos and gameplay wise it was barely 2steps above that horrid game however as a "casual fighting game" it had more depth then u would think and it was hella fun on xbl and almost never lagged.

LOL the funny thing is even in this game magneto is broken as hell and by far the most overpowered/cheap godtier character:rofl:

If any of yall are going to evo2k8 i will money match anyone in it cuz being ranked 1 on xbl n having a 1200-300 record counts for something right? :P

Am i the only one looking forward to this game and hoping it'l be at least half decent and playable?

Heh yeah thats a rediculous quote.

I watched the first two segments. Its not going to be traditional fighting game style.. and it probably won't be balanced. But it looks okay. Of course, gameplay is everything.. and we'll have to see.

WW was very fun for a lot of people for its time though.

A better example would be that it's like not playing ST because SSF2 was bad, which is pretty much what happened for a large amount of players.

If this game is anything like Nemesis i don't expect it to be enjoyable.

09-01-2007, 08:33 AM

EA doesn't know what a "Fighting Game" is. So far they've lumped Boxing Sim, Wrestling, and 3d Brawler all into "Fighting Game".

The video is interesting, kinda a CoH/CoV 1v1 game. Might be fun to play, but it'll never be game seen at EVO.

Tigerboi

09-01-2007, 09:05 AM

^ and if it doesn't, that's usually a sign that a game sold well. *shot*

No seriously, none of us should expect to see any high level play of this game....that would be like expecting high level Naruto CON play. I just hope they do it right this time.

Edit: eh it looks alright.I will not commend them for putting in doom, hulk, jugg and cap this time......because they sould've been in the first release of the last game. behind the back camera views and two blocks of stage?

That implies.....it's only online? :lol:

PersonaDark

09-01-2007, 12:20 PM

Well, this may be worth a rental at least. Brawling inside a populated area complete with panicking civilians is a fun idea.

But goddamn if the comic fan in me is having a shitfit at the ugly ass design(Save for Cap, just needs a little tweaking) and errors like Doom with 'Rawket Lawnchers!' :rofl: I hope they take the effort to make the characteristic styles of each character translate well and accurately.

Tigerboi

09-01-2007, 12:29 PM

Yeah, Spider-man's mask was dumb looking and jugs looks even dumber than usual. I'll check it out as a marvel fan- not as a fighting game fan.

maybe they should branch out to a fighting game based on Def Comedy Jam

ReXXXSoprano

09-01-2007, 07:23 PM

This looks like it could make up for what Marvel Nemesis should have been. Cause when I saw the Marvel Nemesis I was like, "This is gonna be the shit! John Madden is gonna fight Wolverine. Harry Potter is gonna fight Scarlet Witch. Spider-Man saying ass puts this game on another level." But then you actually played the game for more than 20 minutes. And suffered through that dumb-ass story mode. And then you realized that the game was nothing more than some good ideas not properly executed. If EA Chicago can get it correct this time, then that would be lovely. But I'm not saying anything until I get a complete product in my hands to judge. But I do have a glimmer of hope that this will not completely suck.

09-01-2007, 07:31 PM

Read my first post ppl marvel nemesis on xbl was fun! LAWL

If anything this game while not exactly as deep as 3s or marvel looks like it'll b a fun casual fighter with it's share of flaws to say the least...am i looking forward to a game like that?...sorta.

I never liked the fact that he BASF'ed the Victorious Boxers fighting engine ("we dont make things, we make things better"), put it into his Fight Night games, and didnt give props to Victorious Boxers.

Is he japanese, btw? With a name like Kudo Tsunoda, you'd think he'd be a noodle eater.

He kinda reminds me of an American version of Tomanoubu Itakgaki, but not as jackass like.

Geese Pants

09-02-2007, 10:59 AM

Vendetta and FFNY were better because they were developed by AKI................Icon was crapped on by EA Chicago.

Anthony Anderson couldn't save that game............

And why put a Doombot in the game anyway? Too bad no age of apocalypse chars are in the game. Fucling holocaust would be killer in a game like this.

axeman61

09-02-2007, 03:00 PM

Yeah, I understand that, but Kudo dissed "regular" fighters enough to laugh hard at DJI's failure to compete with even Mortal Kombat.
You should have seen him before DJI's release. He was acting like the DJ turntable stuff was revolutionary and all that, ignoring that it would mean reverting the fight to a throw-fest. Not to forget the unnecessary Fight night controls for strong hits. I'll grant that the game in general was something different and that grants points, but that and graphics are the only good things about it.

SuicidalGrandpa

09-02-2007, 03:09 PM

Shit isn't a fighting game, it's a Brawler/Beat-Em-Up...and looks like garbage.

Are_you_okay?!

09-02-2007, 03:11 PM

I'm really not impressed by this, being both a comic and fighting game fan. First off I wouldn't call it a fighting game, it feels more like a party game with fighting elements like Nemesis did.

With the very few videos we saw so far on that horrible show, I feel all the matches will turn out like this: Said character runs up to other character, locks on and smack, other character flies forty feet to grant ooh's and aah's, rinse and repeat.

That whole process doesn't seem fun to me, so I await new information with low, low expectations.

dbycrash

09-02-2007, 03:22 PM

someone in the chicago area find the main developers of this game, capture their families, and force them to completely overhaul the system to mimic mvc2. i think the fighting game community at large would forgive you for a few murdered children or raped wives to make mvc3 a reality... i know i would.

axeman61

Game developers are for the most part moronic...if people expected this game to be good, I feel sorta bad for them.

make no mistake if the EA. label it in the fighting game section,stupid scrubs going to think its a fighting game.

Just look at smash bros,everyone know its a party game for kids,but since nintendo label it fighting game,stupid americans go along with it.

specs

09-02-2007, 07:02 PM

Despite my distaste for EA, and despite the mess that was Imperfects, I say give this a chance. Follow the game, see what themes and mechanics it has, and scrutinize it. Just smashing it now because it isn't MvC2 will look really stupid in the very unlikely scenario that it's a good game.

axeman61

09-02-2007, 07:14 PM

People are smashing it because Tsunoda is taking the same approach to this as he did with DJI: overemphasis.
It's easy to see more than necessary is being put into this "throw them through the city" aspect, like in Def Jam Icon. It ended up being not about skill and each character's strengths, but how much you could destroy the background. It just gets boring quicker than most fighters.

Its like an abusive relationship I know its not gonna be good but they promise they've changed and I believe them:sad:. And the truly sad thing is I know what is gonna happen and I'll be back for more after this one. My love of comics and fighters provides the optimism that will ALWAYS lead me to sub par comic based fighting games everywhere. :sad:

COMMENDABLE! U HAVE BEEN SIGGED!

I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst i know it'll most likely b an improved version of nemesis nothing more and the sad part is i am still somewhat looking forward to this mess disguised as a "casual fighter"

brigade FTW!

edit: plz don't band me for calling it a casual fighter instead of a brawler with fighting elements:rofl:

As long as all you diehard fanboys buy the game no matter how big a piece of garbage it is, then EA and Marvel will continue to believe that what they're doing is right: making low-quality licensed games with zero originality and overworked developers to maximize profits.

Splendid.

yeah i was thinkin the same thing. and yeah that guys thinkin bout activision.

as far as the game go ill be happy wit is as long as they add characters whos powers wont always knock someone back in some cinematic type form distracting from gameplay. from the looks of it that wont happen but heres hopin. and hopefully better controls then mashing the x button and switching to circle for a combo. :rolleyes:

Doom looks fat (yeah it's armor but still) and Spidey's eyes look way to small for my tastes. They should of used the artist who worked on the Nemesis PSP game since those character designs were actually good - no ears on Thing in that version... Hulk in this game looks alright. Still needs more characters that were not in MVC2. Um, hello Thor???

Looks ain't everything. I'll keep an open mind until we have more info. Doom rampaging the city by himself seems a bit out of character come Marvel comics as they are today, I'm betting mind control.

Ha ha Spidey only saves women falling out of buildings just like the movies. That guy on the ground who almost got crushed needed to bust out a wig quick. :rofl:

Aren't Doombots supposed to be exactly like Doom though? I suppose Doom could have gotten mad at his latest failed scheme on RICHARDS! life and decided to take his aggression out on one, thus it being clunky and retarded, possibly depressed.

I don't think DD's billy club could launch Juggs through a ten story building, thus EA will probably keep him out since this is an extreme launching game.

I would love to see DD in here, Bullseye as well would rock. If I had a fan choice on who should be in here I would go with Ghost Rider, Punisher, Bullseye or Absorbing Man.

cbone

09-04-2007, 07:10 PM

I think the problem is that these clowns at EA Chicago think that they are artists or something and too damn cool for school because they made a game that sold. They want to put their shitty stamp on these characters, and Marvel is greedy/fucking retarded enough to let them. Submit designs? WTH is there to submit? Crack open a few of the comics, see who can do what and what they look like doing it, sass it up a piece, put that shit in the game! There! Capcom could do it, why can't EA?

WTF was with that tubby-ass Doom? Was that a Kirby Short-bus Hulk? Even for a FMV trailer, that looked shitty.

MN was undoubtedly one of my most painful ever video game experiences. Bad Marvel games are a dime-a-dozen, but MN was an example of crappiness beyond reason. Looking at this, I doubt they've really learned at all.
