With Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order dropping next month and continuing a series that has been dormant for almost ten years, Diego Rivera asks the question in his latest video: Which game is better, Marvel Ultimate Alliance by Raven or Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 by Vicarious Visions? Give the video a watch, and chime in on the comments…
Venom had the (dis)honor of having his big screen debut in the well-meaning, but very flawed Spider-Man 3 in 2007. Now, eleven years later, the Spider-Man villain turned anti-hero is set to headline his own movie starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and the toothy title character, arriving this Friday, October 5th. While this weekend will only mark Venom’s…
Co-created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee and debuting in the pages of the Fantastic Four in 1966, it would be forty years after his introduction to the world that Black Panther would make any appearances in a video game. It was in the massive Marvel crossover action-RPG Marvel Ultimate Alliance released in 2006 that players would be able…
Before Spider-Man joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the only super powered team-up in a Spider-Man film was Peter and Harry teaming up to defeat Sandman and Venom in the conclusion of Spider-Man 3. In his MCU debut, Spider-Man shared the screen with nearly every hero in Captain America: Civil War and now as part of his first ever…
Last week’s revival of both Marvel Ultimate Alliance and it’s sequel were not met with the love that Marvel Games probably had hoped for. Coming in at $60 for the bundle and $40 a piece, the first game was missing DLC not found on the Gold Edition rerelease that was published on the Xbox 360, the Xbox…
After this year’s E3 in June, it felt okay to be hopeful about the future of Marvel console games. After years of free-to-play mobile games and disappointing games like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 from Activision, not to mention Sega’s catalog of mostly terrible titles based on the first phase of the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe…
Having been leaked last month from a ratings listing, it’s now official: Marvel Ultimate Alliance and its sequel Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 are coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC and a lot sooner than you think. The games will be made available digitally either as a bundle or sold separately this coming Tuesday, July 26th. Individually the games…
Thanks to Matthew Riggs for bringing this to my attention. This being E3 week and all, we’re all excited to get lost in all the hype of the new games, hardware and VR offerings coming down the pipeline. It appears that Activision however are perhaps looking to dig into their past catalog if some recently…
When Activision started their Marvel action-RPG series with the original X-Men Legends, development responsibilities primarily fell on Raven Software with the occasional porting duties being outsourced to other studios. With development on X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Singularity and a reboot of the Wolfenstein franchise all happening simultaneously, Raven had very little resources to commit to the second and final Marvel Ultimate Alliance game released in…
The dungeon-crawler action-RPG genre was a good fit for the PSP. The overhead perspective allowed developers to create a fun action game on the go without having to be strapped with the usual camera problems inherent with more traditional 3-D action/adventure games. Some of the games that found great success on the handheld were the…
