It's a shame it's both Current Year, and Marvel hasn't had a great track record with games anyway, for the most part. I enjoy Marvel the IP, generally, and if it weren't for this timeline, this could be exciting.
The concept of team ups look kind of cool, though. Not sure if it makes team comps more or less flexible, but it's a cool idea.
Some of the blame for that has to be thrown at Disney Infinity. That abomination spent five years obstructing the development of better games.
Were they pulling that shit of “you can’t do a game with these characters because they’re in Disney Infinity” or somethimg?
More like "why should we greenlight any new projects that aren't going to leverage Disney Infinity".
Some nameless fools somewhere in the organization thought the idea of selling playable characters at $10 a pop was the best thing since abusing fastpass as a hotel perk.
They didn't win every argument, some games approved anyway, but this is why Infinity 2.0 was basically "Marvel Edition".
I believe they looked at Skylanders (after it made the idea of UB Funkeys profitable) and said, "hey we can do that" and shat it out as fast as possible. No different than them making their own MTG/Yugioh clone recently, riding the trends
