Lets hope they mean extremely upgraded graphics!

I am too poor to own a 360... therefor I play with paper statistics. The results of my indepth scientific anaylisis determined the most important benchmark is Pi. As in The Ring of Light.

I thought Microsoft got the rights for Marvel?

Don't touch that Squirrels nuts!

2006-04-18 20:59:34

to the marvel mmo, not all marvel games

2006-04-18 21:57:26

Nah they have the marvel rights altogether from what I understand,but games already in development microsoft isn't stopping from going ahead (it would make no sense for them to do that)

---
[b] Never judge a game too harshly via screenshots or videos, because they are in no way capable of properly representing what the game truly looks like were you to see it running in front of you on a 360 [/b]

Sounds cool regardless. Just hope they don't mean "X-Men: Last Stand" updated graphics :-/.

I dream in 1080p

2006-04-19 08:21:50

microsoft has the right to just marvel mmo's.

2006-04-19 20:25:48

Loved X-Men: Legends, can't wait for this..Legends + Online Co-op?? mmm...hell yeah! And uhm, no, I don't think MS holds universal rights for Marvel--that would be insane..I'm quite sure we'll see more Marvel games from EA and Activision in the future as well..could be wrong, but I doubt MS holds total control over the liscence..it would be pretty pointless for Marvel to make that sort of deal when so many people want to make games for them...do you really expect MS to start pumping successful Marvel games out at the rate that Activision does? I think MS is more interested in strong original IP's..atleast I hope they are.

what I really miss is MvC..MvDC would have been amazing :P

Btw, seems the PS3 version has nicer shaders and some complaining about the 360.

no the PS3 version has the same effect Shadowrun has (you know the blurred effect when porting). it can even be done on Xbox and Gamecube. But PS3 version has framerate issues while 360 and Wii are stable

Burn em' at the stake!!!

2006-10-08 21:47:30

Jeez is this even news? I've played Wii and 360 versions already! (albeit only for a limited time!) If I'd have realised, I'd have posted some impressions :)

2006-10-08 22:31:35 In reply to hasanahmad (2006-10-08 21:42:54)

Framerate issues in the port with more effects and running @ 1080p--you're suprised? The games not finished yet--if they run at a simular framerate--I think it's going to be pretty obvious which one is the superior version..well, it would be, if it weren't for a pretty obvious flaw in the PS3 edition.

But who cares when they're basically both just polished ports?

Still can't wait to play it--from what I hear there's no voice communication in the PS3 version--once again, this is a bigger deal than any graphical difference, imo. Though I hear the Wii version may actually have the upper hand when it comes to control...

2006-10-08 22:44:01

Link

They don't say faster or whatnot, but it does seem it is more compatible with their design and could do more than on the 360.

I agree with grift though: An Xbox port... who cares? More concerned about what next gen game devs say like Starbreeze.

Apparently you missed that line when you read it..like I said before--it's obviously pushing the engine harder--would you expect it to run faster?

2006-10-08 22:56:10

Sounds like they put more effort into ps3 version, the game still looks like crap though.

Games sure are fun.

2006-10-08 23:13:17

The gameplay vids on the VIP looks freaking incredible. Some of the best gameplay I've seen in a game of that style yet.

2006-10-08 23:15:30

I might just have to buy every version.

Not to everyone's taste, but should keep me going to MUO comes out.

Take one 360, add some chopped PS3, stir in some Wii, a sprinkling of DS Lite. Enjoy :)

The Defender of Truth and Justice!

2006-10-09 00:34:56

I'm getting this. It's too cool for me not too. No way I'm getting Justice League though.

Isn't Snowblind making Justice League? Their previous dungeon crawlers rocked..who knows, maybe that will be decent too. This is already in my gamefly queue though..looking forward to it. Xmen Legends on Xbox 1 @ 720p rocked :)

2006-10-09 19:21:01

Marvel > DC. Thats why I'm not getting it. Batman rocks though, but one super hero vs a Universe? Close fight :-P.

Not really on topic, but this is an amusing piece of comic book history:
