Well, the new Activision and Marvel game is described like this: "The all-new original video game casts players as new mutant recruits in a rich, branching storyline that features a deep element of choice and gives players ultimate control of their destiny." New mutant recruits? Could they be at the Xavier Academy? Did G-Man sign a deal with Marvel and Activision behind our backs?
If you remember, Activision, Marvel, and X-Men have all teamed up before with the X-Men Legends series, which became the platform for Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Hopefully, we'll get a different game engine though, since the MUA and Legends engine has really run its course. Maybe more of a 3rd person view? Who knows? Or how about a side-scrolling beat-em-up? That would be super awesome.
The big deal with all of this is that New York Comic Con attendees will get a sneak peak at the game during the con. Now through October 10th, the Activision booth (#1833) will not only have sneak peeks of the game, but they'll also have info on the original storyline written by X-Men: Legacy scribe Mike Carey at the Marvel Games Panel, October 9th, at 10:45 AM in room 1A06. Could this game be a lot like the game G-man described recently? What do you want to see in this game?
