10 to 1 -unless their deal is done- SEGA is probably making an Avengers game, and from past experience the game probably won't be that good at all.
One of the first creative uses of the FPS genre and they can it??
It's shit like this gaming industry!

It makes me sad to see such potential pissed away. This just goes to show you that publishers don't give a damn about the quality of licensed titles. This game could have been amazing, but there's a movie coming out alongside it, so it doesn't have to be.
THQ: No, no, no, guys... this is too good. Way too good. And you know this is not our agenda in licensed games.
This looks better than the SNES Avengers beat 'em up!
God damn 'dose Iron Man mechanics - it looked so fun.

Its hard to get an FPS to work when flight gets introduced, at least in the few instances where I've seen it. Not saying that's it, but a good game isn't just a few pretty videos and a cool idea...the gameplay would be the true indicator and how all that meshes with the environment and Marvel legacy with 5-6 hulks rampaging through a level...hell I don't know.
I have a hard time believing that if the mechanics were sound that they would have canned the project. More than likely there were some major glitches.

I would kill just for the Iron Man bits. If they got the controls right it would've been up there as one of the best licensed games ever, easily.

That didn't stop Fallout 3 or New Vegas from existing. If anything, they could have cut back on the co-op.

The article forgot to mention that THQ Australia was closed down, and that's why the game was canceled.
It had nothing to do with the quality. The studio making it ceased to exist. The people making it don't have jobs anymore.

That really did look cool what the hell THQ not like you other two dead franchise were doing anything better.
Looks a lot like Grandmaster's Challenge, but not on Rails. Seems really cool and it's a shame it won't see the light of day. I'd have at least played the game.
Those Aussies and their dubstep... :)
Marvel fucked the dog on this one. They need to build their own studio and hire these guys.

Damn. This looked like it would have actually been fun. A co-op Avengers FPS where every character played differently. That's so much more ambitious than the usual beat-em-up drivel that we get.
Remember a couple of years back when the 3D Realms dev team was let go, and they released some video from their progress on Duke Nukem Forever and we were all "holy shit wtf that looks awesome" and then Gearbox used those exact same assets in the released version of DNF and it blew chunks?
Yeah, I just don't trust this kind of thing anymore.

Ugh, whenever I see a game on rails nowadays, all I can think of is the Kinect.
Looks nice. Too bad. Probably could've been something great. Then again, looks can be deceiving.

Based on Thor's outfit, it looks like it was based on the Ultimates comic. It looked great too! If that was pre-alpha, then imagine what a finished game would have looked like.
after all the shitty movie tie in games that have come and gone, this is the one they can?
must be because it was developed by Australians. they obviously aren't in vogue in todays games industry.

looked cool, but Sega has the rights to Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise so it's weird that THQ was developing this game.
The best Avengers game ever is still Marvel Ultimate Alliance bur this had potential. I wonder if Dr. Doom would have been the final boss again?
Maybe it wasn't cancelled. Maybe the footage was "accidentally" leaked to see how people would react.
A first-person superhero game? Something refreshingly different from all the third-person beat-em-up movie tie-ins? Something that actually looks INTERESTING? Fuck that, we gotta cancel this shit.
Goddamn publishers... Batman will continue to be the only great comic book-based game.

Wow, I'm impressed. It looks fun. A first person game that doesn't involve guns is a must buy for me. Also, I bet that the Movie Tie-in will be 100x more worse than this amazing game. XD
Yeah it looks cool, but I have full faith in THQ to have screwed it up if they had continued with the project.

If you had told me that before Arkham Aslyum had been released, I would have pointed and laughed at you. But now.....yeah you're totally right.

Wow and here I though oh look another game that looked promising and people complain, but then I saw the trailer and hey what do you know, it looks good. It looks like a game that makes you feel like a badass, and that's all that these type of games need to do, so I'm disappointed.
am I the only person who thought some of the xp mechanics and slo-mo floating things looked very Bulletstorm-esque? Not like that's a bad thing, Bulletstorm's demo was insanely fun! And that combined with some superhero awesomeness would rock...
Hope this is somehow finished at some point :(
