Story

Production

The game was officially announced in a press release by Activision on February 8, 2008. The game is scheduled to be released in 2009. [1] At E3 2008, it was given the official name of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion.

Plot

The Story Focuses mostly on the Civil War events with the player able to play on both the Pro and Anti-Registraton sides. Pro-Registration side, headed by Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic, or the Anti-Registration side, headed by Captain America and Luke Cage. Several other characters are 'locked' into a specific side. Songbird is locked to the Pro-Registration side for the PS3 and XBOX 360 versions, with Ms Marvel and Thor locked to the Pro-Registration side for the PS2, PSP and Wii versions. Iron Fist is locked to the Anti-Registration side for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, with Daredevil and Storm locked to the Anti-Registration side for the PS2, PSP and Wii versions.

Pro Registration forces begin to use criminals controlled by nanites created by the Tinkerer in order to slant the odds of winning the 'Civil War' in their favor, only to have the nanites become sentient and take control of the beings they inhabit, spreading themselves to new hosts all the time.

In the end, both sides of the war have to come together to defeat the nanite brood, having to battle a nanite-infected Nick Fury as the final showdown.

Gameplay

There will be changes in the game and camera controls for greater fluidity. The Comic-Con 2008 trailer shows an improvement in the power combo system; instead of merely doing some extra damage, two combined powers will yield a new attack altogether, such as Invisible Woman creating a force field and Iron Man overloading it with energy, effectively creating a bomb, or even the classic fastball special maneuver. [2] The Alchemy engine[3] has been upgraded in several ways, including Havok physics technology, [4] a new 3D sound system[4] and syncing character's lips to dialogue. [5]
