A screenshot on Kotaku also showed that Jugs’ green and red cost 13 and 14 AP in the console version. Also, 2* Thor only has two powers in the shot, his red and his green.
Just the other day I joked that we could use a “Mortal Kombat” style character select screen…and there the damn thing is
As much as I would like the Steam version to be patched to incorporate interface improvements from Xbox/PS versions … would be far more native that’s for sure … I wouldn’t want to be severed from the mobile community!
IceIX stated that the game is separate from the Mobile version.
I believe the game will have all the characters upto 4hor’s release. You’ll see that Wolverine has his older model. My understanding is they were have all their pre-nerfed abilities, so you can destroy everyone with X-Force.
What I find intriguing besides the 5/5/5 lvl 300 builds is that Iron Patriot is clearly a character. Why can’t he finally come to the mobile now? Just seems silly at this point.
Hi D3/Demiurge, perhaps the console version would be a great excuse to finally release Iron Patriot (Norman Osborn) on mobile as a tie-in/promotion?
I’ve been awaiting this character for SO long, as
i) I’m a fan of the character and particularly his machiavellian machinations during the Dark Reign era
ii) It would finish off the Dark Avengers roster of in-game characters (#OCD)
iii) his moves that leaked months ago – while obviously subject to change – looked incredibly fun. I still think there’d be place in this game for a 4* version of him someday, and hope it’ll happen eventually.
Would be interesting to see if how the rebalancing works out … what new stories or modes there are if any … maybe they finally found uses for Bagman and Yelena.
His moves in particular, while serviceable, are also very much an artifact of older design sensibilities. We’d definitely want to have a full re-do on him if/when we go back to ol’ Normy.
Hmm? Not denying that he’s in the console. I’m saying that if/when we push him to mobile, we’d want to rework his abilities. Probably do bit of update on the art too.
Edit: Ahh, the OP. No, the denial was specifically that it was out “this week” a couple weeks back when MS leaked it with some random launch date. Obviously, it didn’t come out then.
Is there any particular reason it’s still using the old Wolverine art? I understand why you didn’t keep everything up to date while this was in development, but I would’ve thought replacing the graphics wouldn’t be that big of a hassle.
The changeover was more than just a paintover graphics update. The animations also changed a bit which requires client changes. Hence, not in the console version.
