More Fantastic Four Details Revealed: It'll Be Just Like Ultimate Alliance
Man, Marvel Online is sure excited about the upcoming Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer game. Well, either that or they're just hoping to make us think it'll be decent. This time around, it seems that the developers, Visual Concepts, are taking inspiration from the excellent Marvel: Ultimate Alliance in order to provide a strong team-based RPG:
Another aspect of the game that will please the RPG veterans and fans of the recent smash, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, is the part costumes play in the game. "There are a range of costumes available to the team, which are directly related to the various eras of the Fantastic Four," explains Weaver. "As an example, the team can find and use their costumes from the 1960s comics and this gives them a permanent defense bonus. With the variety of costumes available, this changed the way players can choose to upgrade their character and play the game. Wearing the 1960s costume will allow the player to concentrate on the more aggressive upgrade paths and change their experience from the player that chooses to wear one of the other costumes."
There will also be things like purchasing power upgrades and combining power attacks with devastating results, so the game sounds like it wasn't so much inspired by Ultimate Alliance as it blatantly ripped off some of its more entertaining features. If it managed to copy a strong story and fun gameplay, though, I won't have a problem with it.
