Game giant EA in Marvel-ous union
Everyone who knows the world could use more good guys can take heart from an agreement Electronic Arts and Marvel Enterprises Inc. are expected to announce today. The two companies will develop a whole new generation of fighting games pitting superheroes from the Marvel Universe against a new, original set of EA superheroes. The multiyear deal grants EA a license to develop and distribute fighting games featuring the world-famous Marvel superheroes for all current and next generation video-game consoles, hand-helds and PCs. For its part, Marvel is the exclusive worldwide licensing agent for all consumer products and media licensing for the EA superheroes. Marvel also will publish a series of comic books based on these games and the forthcoming EA characters _________________ BENDIS!

I was hoping Capcom and Marvel would reunite for MvC 3. Then they could add characters like G Kaiser, Viewtiful Joe, Daredevil, Punisher, Agent X, etc. _________________ The trillions h'and trillions of the Great Gamer's fans chanting his name... *ANDY!

I was almost excited until I realized that it's fighting games they're going to be making. I hate those mortal kombat like games.  _________________

Me too. And can EA use the term "superhero"? _________________ Ron "AAlgar" Watt

I don't play video games like I used to; maybe this will give me a reason to buy a system and play more.... _________________ Life is only a perception. |

maybe they'll make an RPG Secret Wars game, where you can assemble your own teams like the new Xmen game we keep hearing about. _________________ Pain is a cleanser, pain is a cleanser.

Thsi would ALMOST seem to play into those reports that Marvel had met with Pixar. Maybe it wasn't about making movies based on Marvel characters but about making video games using Marvel characters and Pixar technology. If Pixar only allows Marvel to use the technology then all the video game makers developers have to deal with Marvel. Maybe it becomes a bidding war amongst game developers that that Marvel has to handle instead of Pixar having to license it out. _________________ I got everything I need...almost. |

Is this the video game that Bendis is working on?? If Mack did it, I am sure Bendis is involved in this also......

Congrats MACK! Looking forward to hearing more about this..
As for the bad news, with it being EA, it likely doesn't mean there's going to be any online aspect for it, in so far as the Xbox is concerned. Way to go Sony :sarcasm:
Last I recall, Bendis and Millar both had 2 games in development. _________________
