When did XMen (or even Wolverine) get a quote "good" game? Apart from Ravages of Apocalypse that was a total Quake conversion mod two decades ago, I don't remember one good game with my favourite mutants in it. Marvel Heroes was alright, but that's gone now.
I do know some stuff, and altho I haven't signed any NDA, it's privileged info so I won't speak about any details. However it's public knowledge that
Square Enix signed a deal with Marvel to produce Avengers and related games. While it's a bit sad that there haven't been game tie-ins to (one of, if not the) the biggest film franchise in recent years, if not history,
they are coming. They are supposed to be cannon with the MCU.
They are the reason there has been very little out of Squeenix in recent years and why
Deus Ex got put on hiaitus. Maybe they'll announce something at E3, no idea but it would be interesting to hear something about what they're up to officially.
In other "superhero" game news, the four City of Heroes successor projects are still in development, as they have been for years and seemingly will be for more to come. There is
City of Titans, the first one originally backed on Kickstarter. There's
Heroes and Villains, being developed by part of the original CoT team that had different creative ideas for the game they wanted to make. There's
Valiance Online, the first of the four to reach Alpha and there's
Ship of Heroes, which is set on a spaceship. In Space.
My worry for these is that MMOs have lost a lot of popularity in recent years. The subscription model is unlikely to succeed also. Further, the market cannot support four of them. Unless they have tons of mainstream appeal (which I doubt; these are niche games) I suspect one or two will be populated and players who want to play them will flock to them. I think whichever is the first to market will have a distinct advantage, and if it's good, will probably win out unless the ones that come later prove significantly better. For those of us who'd like to scratch the CoX itch, but Champions Online/DCUO can't quite satisfy, we just want a place to enjoy silly costumed superheroics and shennanigans. A good char creation/tailor is absolutely crucial, cool, varied and customisable powers and builds, larger than life villains and an immersive city to fly/speed/leap/teleport thru, maybe some supervillains to beat up/thwart....it's not much to ask!
