EA Chicago developing a new Marvel fighting game |
Electronic Arts Chicago has announced in the Comic-con Chicago that it is developing a brand new Super Hero fighting game franchise using the Marvel license. The game is slated for launch this 2008 for both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.The development team handling this endeavor is known for their work on top fighting franchises such as the EA Sports' Fight Night series and DefJam: Icon. The General Manager and Vice President of EA Chicago Kudo Tsunoda shared his thoughts on this and what they plan on delivering to gamers:
We looked at past comic-based games to find out what was missing and what was needed to successfully translate the intensity, excitement and fiction from comics into fighting games. WeÂ’re challenging ourselves to make a game that delivers on the Super Hero promises of past top-tier fighting games.
Featuring a great all-star line-up of Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains with incredible powers that are authentic to the fiction, huge environments and a living world that keeps the gameplay fresh, every battle will be unique; every battle will be like a first edition.
Of course this enthusiasm was shared by the people on Marvel as well, with the Vice President of Interactive from Marvel Entertainment Justin Lambros sharing his sentiments on the partnership with the company:
Marvel Super Heroes are a natural fit in the fighting game genre, so weÂ’re excited to have Kudo and his team of fighting game experts put these characters toe-to-toe against each other on next generation consoles. This is a game that will deliver to both comic book fans and to fighting game diehards.
Fighting game and comic book fans rejoice, because it looks like we're going to be getting quite a treat this 2008. If you want to know more on this, the worldwide unveiling of the EA Chicago/Marvel game and a behind-the-scenes look into its development will be shown on Spike TV GAME HEAD on August 31 at 1:00 a.m. ET/PT.

Kudo Tsunoda sux
plsss base if off the Marvel Vs Capcom 2 engine PLS!. If so it will sell like crazy. We need a new MVc2 type game. But however much I hope for that I know it won't be realistic seeing as it's coming for EA and not Capcom. It'll probably be another 3d fighter.
im not impress those guys destroyed the Def Jam franchise... they will fail without a DOUBT....thats my word on that
I was initially excited about this until I read EA Chicago. Marvel Nemesis sucked. Def Jam Icon sucked. This is one of those games that I assume will suck and hopefully I'll be wrong. If they want this game to be good, the first step would be to never use the Imperfects again.
if EA can top Marvel VS Capcom 1 and 2 then i may buy this game. here are points but hey MVSC 1/2 is already excellent in these points.
better controls
more characters
more moves/special moves/combos
better graphics
entertaining soundfx/bgm
big online community
online multiplayer ease of use
MARVEL NEMESIS WAS NANG, I HOPE THIS GAME IS LIKE MARVEL NEMESIS JUST WITH MORE PEOPLE AND MOVES AND STAGES AND *****. AND MODES
