I agree that you should submit this, and maybe get a mac release while you're at it

I would play a game like this.

I think that's a great idea! The idea of possibly importing yourself into a segment of the Marvel Universe would be amazing. DC Universe Online has something like that going on, but on such a large scale you face all the troubles you do with all MMO's- dealing with the community, finding enough time to level your character, etc. But on a multiplayer setting on, like, Xbox Live or something? Maybe using the Danger Room as something like Halo's Forge, you could do a lot, and you and your friends as mutants teaming up would just be amazing as hell to try.

 ...WHERE DO I BUY THIS? #2  

Wow... This just Marvel trying to compete with DC Universe Online. But I'm still gonna get this.

be good game i would get it

i would like to see this game. But i would love to see server size limits and allow alternative versions of xmen to fight so you could end up with teams like AOA lead by Magneto vs Xavier lead teams or even Cyke and Frost lead teams

I've always wanted an X-Men RPG like this, it's like Valkyria Chronicles or Persona (the school setting), only with mutants! awesome!

I WANT THAT DIPLOMA CERTIFICATE!

I have an Xavier School for gifted Youngsters patch on a leather bomber jacket that I would TOTALLY wear while I was playing this game

ti sounds like the dream X-Men Universe game without having to bog people down with all that "my favorite made it" "I  can't believe they left _____ out!" drama that always surrounds these games

I think you should be assigned some sort of power that allows you to augment it in different ways

like either some sort of mimicking power or the power to change into different forms, so that the player would have a lot of control over how their character developed

they could do it elementally, for example:

you could choose air, water, fire or earth to base your abilities on, or focus on trying to equally master multiple elements or all 4

and then you could choose between focusing on projectiles/range (each element would have a unique type of thrown or distance attack like fireballs, wind gusts, rocks or tremors, or a burst of water or a jetstream)

or you might want to go physical attacks, and master transforming into the elements, allotting exp points to rock form, fire form, etc., and then depending on which forms you master, you could gain flight or speed, intangibility, strength

or, you might want to be more balanced, and you could focus on a secondary skill, like a fire shield, water aura, a surrounding tornado or seismic vibrations       

I like that idea too

or maybe even, how you deal with the characters early on in the game dictates how you will advance later

like maybe, you don't have active powers when you get there and they don't manifest until some plot element happens

you know, the institute gets invaded or the X-Men are caught away somewhere leaving the students to fend for themselves

I really like these topics, G-man

I think we should do these more often

"Instead of choosing your powers, I think you should take a personality test, and what powers you develop are based on your scores."

do you think it would be true to the curriculum of the institute? completely devoid of academics and focusing totally on the use of powers? 
 
 
physics is a useful tool when shooting a highly dangerous eye beam....juss sayin ;)

Regarding the actual combat which would be the meat of any RPG experience (leveling, story, character creation, etc. is the dessert... what suck you in and keeps you playing, but combat is what you actually do).  What are people expecting? 
 
Quasi-real time action tactical like the latest Final Fantasy?  Turn based tactical?  etc.  There's a tons of ways an RPG can actually play out. 
 
One suggestion would be to use the actual Marvel Comics RPG system that's already licensed and seasoned, Heroclix (I know there's also several PnP Marvel RPG licenses but those will never properly translate to a videogame RPG except as pure stat-tracking number crunching gameplay in the manner of most AD&D/GRUPS/etc. styled PC-based RPGs).  Granted, HeroClix isn't that compelling in terms of gameplay but it's a start and already has a large installed base.  The point is to have something in terms of gameplay / branding /etc. that people recognize and that you can build up or make more compelling in videogame format. 
 
Selling a RPGs combat system is often one of the hardest bits because the developer knows all its ins and outs and what makes it different and compelling, but trying to condense that into a sound bite to explain is tough... you often need a walkthrough just to get people familiar... so you either need an established system, or some other hook to keep them interested long enough to go through the walkthrough.

Wow, this is truly one of the best ideas I've ever heard. It would be great if your character could play through classic X-men storylines and if you could explore other cool places like the Savage Land or Asteroid M. 

This would be an awesome game. Wonder if we could pick our own powers, or if it would be randomly generated.  Being able to pick whatever power your character wanted (not necessarily picking a character, just powers) would be pretty legit

" G MAN! I was so excited I thought they were developing this game! AHHHH!   That's a dope idea, you should try and bring that to fruition, FOR US! "

i'd play that.
