Marvel showdown rages on 360, PS3

Despite diversifying its offerings over the years, the heart of Comic-Con International: San Diego remains comics and the superheroes (and villains) that define them. In honor of this year's Comic-Con (which wraps up this weekend), EA announced today it would be bringing an as-yet-unnamed original fighting game featuring the Marvel license to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2008.

No stranger to the fighting genre, Marvel's superheroes have been featured in several 2D and 3D fighting games, including the Marvel vs. Capcom series and EA's own Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. Never ones to shy away from a dustup, EA's Chicago studio will develop Marvel's latest fighting game. EA Chicago's most recent credits include the hip-hop rhythmic brawler Def Jam: Icon and the sweat-glistened boxing sim Fight Night Round 3.

Details on the game were not specified, but EA Chicago's effervescent general manager and vice president Kudo Tsunoda did say that the game would feature "a great all-star lineup of Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains with incredible powers that are authentic to the fiction, huge environments, and a living world that keeps the gameplay fresh; every battle will be unique, every battle will be like a first edition."

I was somewhat happy when I saw that there is going to be a new Marvel game, Rise of The Imperfects had some promise but it was all flushed down the toilet. Now Kudo Tsunoda is going to go from ruining Def Jam to ruiningg Marvel games.

Yeah I'll admit it, Def Jam Icon sucked and I blame Kudo. Since he's working on a Marvel I wonder if he'll dress up as Wolverine for his interviews... douche bag.

Never liked the whole "superheros fighting" thing but I saw some pics of the last Marvel game (Alliance I think) and it didn't look bad but I wouldn't buy a game of it.Maybe this one will be better.

My mates gave me Rise of the Imperfects on DS for my 21st birthday last year, I told them they could take it back because I don't want it. It played it once and it was as shit as I'd heard, the worst game I've played in the past year.

So news of another Marvel fighting game, now from the team of Def Jam Icon which as The Don said, it was crap. Why do companies waste money and development time on this shit? I can guarantee Tekken 6 will floor this game. Hell, the PS Store's Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection is probably better than what EA can come up with and it sells for $10. No one is looking forward to this game, not even the die hard Marvel fans.

i dunno why they just dont make another 2d arcade game like marvel superheros or mvsc. seriously, they could make like super high quality sprites and with all the extra space left, add fucktons of characters that were left out in the previous games.
