Marvel Universe Online Q&A

9

Decrypting the Marvel 360 MMOG deal is a GameSpot Q&A, asking principals from Microsoft Game Studios, Cryptic Studios and Marvel Entertainment about the MMORPG Marvel Universe Online. Topics include characters we'll see, the setting, storyline, post release content plans, cross platform play and more though a lot of answers are less than informative.

    What is the point of this game if we can't be the superheroes we love? I understand that having 100000 Spidermans going around will be pretty terrible, but I hope we will be able to create characters based on a characters archetype.

      "GS: Now I presume, the game is going to let you create your own heroes. My question is, how are the characters from the Marvel universe going to interact with those newly created characters?

      Jack Emmert: Don't presume anything right now. We are dedicated to creating the ultimate Marvel experience online and we'll do whatever it takes to fulfill that. Whether you can play as a character or create your own--right now, we're not announcing anything. "

        I don't care what they say, I bet the only way we will be able to play as these characters will be in instanced zones, so there isn't 10000000 of them on the screen at once. Unless it takes place in some crazy clone storyline which explains why there are so many. Maybe thats why he said something about cloning at the beginning of the article. ....interesting

          Wait and see. Until then, you really don't know.
