Yeah, Newsarama has a transcript of the panel and the Hitmonkey "leak" was definitely a set up. Deadpool storms the panel pissed that Hitmonkey is getting a game instead of him. I'm surprised there isn't more "ohmygod, Deadpool!" posts yet, haha. The reveal is better than I feared, but not as awesome a I hoped, but I'm not really much of a Deadpool fan so there's that.

I think everyone at SDCC is on it.

IGN has a teaser trailer:

looks like the site's up now, but it's a little buggy at the moment

Hit Monkey probably was viral marketting of some sort. ...At least I hope so because that would be odd.

I don't know who the others are. I thought maybe characters from other properties as there was one girl that looked like she was from some fighting game? I'm not sure why they would be there. If the Hit Monkey thing is true I'm not sure why Cap, Juggernaut etc. would be there either. I hope it's not going to end up like XMD where you're some unknown (I know HM is an actual character but he might as well be an unknown) and you get to interact with the more famous characters. You think Activision/Marvel would have learned their lesson after XMD. In a Marvel game the masses want to play as well known characters (and lots of them...the more the better for a lot of people)!!

Awsome, Jad! You can definitely see Juggernaut in one shot then the Cap, Iron Man, Spdey, Thing, etc in the other shot. Who are the other figures though? I don't recognize em.

Hawk - I found it! I don't think it was that video you posted. It was very similar though. This one shows a little more stuff at about 2:40

Yeah, it doesn't seem like Activision's style to do a game about an obscure character like Hitmonkey. They're more about big franchises and big characters. Look at the way they churn out Spidey game after Spidey game every year. I guess we'll have find out for sure in a few days, or maybe tomorrow with the forum going down tonight.

I ran a google search before, and nothing ever popped up about the game being announced, so I assume it's a fake. Also, it just didn't make any sense. So, there's that, too. But I will say that I actually read a Spidey comic from a couple years ago where he teamed up with Deadpool to take down Hitmonkey.

I'm hoping that the Hitmonkey site was just a fake from a couple fans that thought it'd be funny, but that might be hoping too much. The Hitmonkey site is down though, not sure what means. The site didn't look terribly professional when it was on, anyone can fix up that banner and throw the company logos at the bottom, but we haven't heard anyone from Marvel or Activision deny they're making a Hitmonkey game either.

blech! What a dissappointment.

Wow that is a major letdown!!!! I guess we need to all express our outrage and then let this thread die? I mean why make a big deal that they are announcing a game and then roll out frigging Hitmonkey!! Who cares!!! I mean really this is patently ridiculous if you make the announcement it typically means you are releasing something people would be incredibly excited about. Well good luck with HM I predict this thing goes to the bargain rack after the first week, wow, just wow Marvel that is sad.

Well I guess that is the new game......not sure what to say......When one thinks of a Marvel game usually it involves well known characters so this is pretty unexpected to say the least. I'm disappointed it isn't more along the lines of MUA or XML but I know nothing about the game so I can't judge anything yet.

(maybe we should continue the discussion in the other thread since it is in the "Marvel games setction"? I don't think I can merge the threads any more at this new site (and if I can I haven't figured it out yet) I'm guessing they'll put up a designated section for the game soon)

agreed. I've played that game so many times that I just wish they had done more with it.

each character having their own boosts to equip would have been nice

a longer story

better and larger roster

extreme moves as well as the fusions

it just has so many wrinkles and feels like such an unfinished game.

Yeah I had mixed feelings about MUA2.. Just felt it could of been a lot more if they improved on the rpg elements.. But at the same time the gameplay and powers were amazing.. The heroes really felt powerful where that so much wasn't the case in the 1st game.. But the story in 1 was so much better... And I can honestly say in future installments we need more than 24 heroes I mean that's all their is to it and more than just 1 alternate costume.. but needless to say, both games had their strengths and weaknesses..

Both of the IM games have not been that great didn't even finish either of them because they were boring.

Really hoping for an Avenger game that really makes each character completely unique with his/her powerset. Do really like RPG leveling up options so you can take your characters down a different path depending on what you want out of them.

As far as the MUA1 vs. MUA2 debate goes, MUA1 was better for RPG elements, the length and having some other fun elements in it. MUA2 the heroes powers were pretty awesome and the graphics fantastic but it was way too short and why they stripped the RPG down was a mystery to me. Also the whole story at the end was terrible with Fury and the virus thing that led to fighting Fury at the end, not good.
