X-Men
Team » X-Men appears in 13410 issues.
The X-Men are a superhero team of mutants founded by Professor Charles Xavier. They are dedicated to helping fellow mutants and sworn to protect a world that fears and hates them.
New X-Men Video Game Announced
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?
== TEASER ==
Check out the trailer too! Thanks to Shadowdoggy for the trailer hook-up!
i've been waiting for another x-men game for a while. an rpg-styled game allowing us to develop a character from new mutant to full x-man status would be hot
hey, no worries, my friend
....no one seemed to care when I posted all this earlier, but whatevs............
That's weird. G-Man just did that "Comics to Video Games" feature on the X-Men the other day, and now here's a game that looks like it's going to have a similar idea.
Does this mean G-Man is working for Activision?
I've been anxiously awaiting a new X-Men game. RPG might be interesting, though I'd be satisfied with another X-Men Legends style game.
I love it!
I want it!
I need it!
It is freaky that G-Man would write an article about an RPG X-Men game when it appears that there might be one! Hmmm...

HOLY S@#T!!!!!!
this is awesome news! I hope its more action adventure with RPG elements. please no final fantasy fighting!! And It would be sweet if we get to create our own character from scratch
the character creation is the part that has me stoked
I cant' wait to make my first, second......thirteenth, twentieth characters!
lol cool trailer, I hope characters are fully customizable. I want to choose my own ethnicity, power set, I wonderif there are 2ndary mutations or upgrades.
Heres hoping 4 multi-player, co-op and online play
Moon Knight coming soon??? But it would be interesting to see if there are splinter teams (Alpha Team, X-Force, etc.) in this game" I love it! I want it! I need it! It is freaky that G-Man would write an article about an RPG X-Men game when it appears that there might be one! Hmmm... "
Also I wonder if there will be online co-op. People on here will form teams no doubt.
I would LOVE it if you could pick your X-team to join
that would be amazing!!!
and yes, I think there HAS to online or local (at least) co op
and then we'd get to team up or square off with our customized mutants!
SWEET!!!
@ComicMan24:
or the X-Doggies, either way
;)
@A-Strondinaire:
I don't think any one of us hasn't at one time or another, pontificated on the idea of a "make your own mutant and then go to Xavier's school" game
oh, you meant that you posted about the actual game
well, that's different
I guess it wasn't worth making a big deal until it was "officially" announced
So I was trying to make sure I watched this right, the first three are the create-a-characters, but then its Wolverine, Pyro, ( Storm or Jean? or even Emma cuz it looks like dimonds), Nightcrawler, Cyclops and Magneto. Do you think thats correct? If not whats your guess?
I hope they make a PC version for this one, I wonder if Marvel looks on the vine for opinions, cuz the part with G-man's RPG X-men game is coming to life, so to speak, next time G-man should want a Marvel vs DC crossover game, who knows, maybe in a few days we will have a trailer of it.:P
I agree about all of your character guesses
although, the Emma one could be Dazzler too
So does this mean you'll be taking of leave of absence from ComicVine and going to work for Activision? They might need you to help them make the most legendary X-Men game ever
pfffffft~! He can get in line behind me for that job
@sandman813:
that's what it seems like
hmm. this idea could work. Im curious to see how they are going to present the story line in this game. Im thinking of possible story arcs n the x-men comics that could best fit the idea of creating ur own mutant into the plot. Or maybe they're just creating there own story..that would be fine too. And they should sooo do online game play, especially sense there will be peoples own creative idea's for mutants...lets just hope that there variety in modifications for character creation meets a decent criteria to where we wouldnt see the same idea floating around..:T
If it's like any RPG I've played where you get to choose you own destiny, will that mean you could actually leave the X-Men and join another more villain oriented team such as The Brotherhood?
