E3 has returned, and here's the two videos released that I'm betting you're most interested in (so far): a new clip of various Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 cinematics and then a look at the exclusive-on-PS3-but-probably-later-available-on-Xbox 360-although-noone's-admitting-it Joker missions on Batman: Arkham Asylum.
So MUA2 has some great character designs -- I especially like the real material-look of the costumes -- and Captain America sucker-punching Iron Man, because he's a dick. And yet, even though the B:AA clips mostly show Joker's limited move set, it's kind of hard to deny his awesomeness, too. Will you guys be ponying up for both? Or will you have to pick one?

LIMITED MOVE SET? LIMITED MOVE SET! I TRAINED HARD TO PULL OFF THOSE STUNTS YOU LITTLE- Sorry, lost my temper there. Just pointing out that I'm actually quite nimble.
-
A comic book video game that actually follows a plot from a Marvel story arc. If Spider man gets the updated iron man suit it could be the best game ever
-
Is it wrong that I want both? If I had to choose between the two, I would choose Batman. A) I am more a DC guy (though, I still read and like Marvel characters, why can't more fans be that way?), B) How often do you get the chance to be the Joker? C) I'll go along with ClancyDamon, the Joker has X-Ray Specs.

I'm way to old to cream my pants over an animated Cap knocking Tony Stark on his ass.
-
I hope Madrox, She-Hulk, and Hercules are playable on Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. Also I like the idea of costumes that look more "real world," but I hope they have multiple costume options and include comic book versions, especially for Iron Fist.
-
MUA bought on DVD Tuesday (assuming either The Wife says yes or doesn't know till it is already in the PS3). I'll try to rent B:AA. The joker thing looks pert snifty. But We have played MUA at least a half dozen times so ya, we'll be getting and playing the shit outta MUA2. Now, if only my godamn computer could play the videos without looking like ass and all fucking jumpy.
-
After having played a demo for B:AA, I have pre-ordered it. If I get ahold of a MUA2 demo and it is sufficiently fun, I'll probably get it too.
-
I'll play MUA2, but I kind of wish it wasn't Civil War. I'm fairly over the whole story arc. Arkham Asylum, however, makes me really want a PS3. Joker's move set does seem kind of limited. Hopefully that's just from not picking footage for the trailer that displays a wider variety of what he can actually do in game.
-
Was that Black Bolt early on in the MUA2 clip? If so, that's seriously pretty awesome!
-
Let me ask this, is anyone here who buys MUA2 not going to have deadpool on their team at all time in order to encourage some lost hope?
-
Eventually both. Due to certain monetary restrictions on my end, I can't get both right away. But I'll get both eventually. Gotta have my Civil War re-enactment, and Batman's the only good thing DC's got. So yes, both. Also Mark Hamill is the definitive Joker, and he always gives me chills.
-
MUA 2 is going to be the shiznat. I really don't care for most things DC but the joker taking on a bunch of TRAINED SUPER GUARDS dosent fit hit character at all. One by one with stealth and trickery i can see but in one shot hes clearly taking on atleast 4 guys with guns. But i guess After dark knight they could have joker shoot lazor beams out his ass and people will still love em. @stephen i hope that the young avengers are playable, that would be amazing.
-
I'm a DC fan, but I'm sticking with the proven product in M:UA as opposed to something that's working under the Batman curse* no matter how good it looks in trailers. Besides, playing out the Civil War without Marvel's stupidity slowing things down? That works. * - EG, there hasn't been a really good Batman game since The Adventures of Batman & Robin on the SNES. Playable Songbird = the awesome. But Patriot had better be an actual character and not just another skin for Cap.
-
I enjoyed the first MUA, but I hate everything that came from the Civil War event so I'm leaning towards buying B:AA and renting MUA2 (especially since I haven't seen any gameplay footage of MUA2 yet)
-
No lie,after years of debating I finally broke down and bought a 360 last week...just so I can play that Batman game. I was sold after playing the demo in Gamestop(although I bought my 360 at SAMS where it was fifty bucks cheaper!). I will most likely be buying the super-special collectors set of the Batman game as well so I can get the Batarang and the Arkham journal and all the other useless crap it comes with....
-
I'm still delighted to see Cable (though his design is pretty hideous in close-ups). I hope his little Messiah storyline is slipped in there. It'd justify making Deadpool and *hopefully* Cable playable characters.
-
Oh, do we have Venom in MUA2??? Totally sold.
-
I'm still having second thoughs about Marvel UA2 because Civil War, was crap, it was just the writers soupboxing there views on the goverment so they made the pro-reg, who should be about "Having super powers don't give you the right to just run around and beat up crimenals, you need to be trained how to use those powers and be responsible for the property damage you cuased" to super nazis. While the anti-reg became saints for FREEDOM!! On the other hand maybe they fight it, and treat both sides fairly and maybe have the Annihilation Wave show up. Also sweet SoungBird is here, maybe the other Thunderbolts will show up
-
I'm all over both. I'm reading the Civil War saga right now and want to play that shit. And you're right, Iron Man is a dick.
-
I like that the MUA:2 videos try to make up for the Wolverine movie with extensive Deadpool clips...
-
If they don't put these Joker missions on the PC, people will die. And no can blame me, either! I mean, X-Ray Specs! The Joker has X-Ray Specs! Comic book model swirly-eyed X-Ray Specs! That is fucking awesome!
-
Wow. That Joker ad made me make a mess in my trousers. Awesome.
-
Who are we kidding here people? Both, for every platform along with a stockpile of Bacon flavored Cheetos and YooHoo for nourishment.
-
Is it just me or it the Joker dancing in the B:AA ad? I understand that there's going to be a PS2 version of MUA2, and I'm not shelling out for a PS3 yet....so MUA2 but not B:AA.
-
Never was into Marvel's Ultimate Alliance series, and Arkham Asylum will be one of the few games I'll snag at launch, so the decision is pretty much already made. And despite the "guarantee" of "exclusivity" on "PS3" (sorry, "quotations" button "stuck"), I'll be snagging the 360 version. I'm addicted to "achievements."
-
until the release DLC for the Joker on 360 I'm going with MUA 2
-
I thought the first Ultimate Alliance sucked. But the second one looks cool, and so does the Batman game. But, I'll probably just rent both.
-
I will pick none, because I don't have a new-gen console and my lame pc would be assraped by any game released after 2004. But the batman game looks sweet.
-
I'll put it this way: Heroes For Hire members - Iron Fist, Luke Cage, She-Hulk, and special guest-star Deadpool I've always been a Marvel man myself, anyway.
-
robert downey jr as Iron Man...sort of funny
