yeah morgan is a hottie but that show gets lamer and lamer. i liked it when the show actually treated itself seriously and didn't do all the stupid (and terrible) skits, jokes, etc. is it too much to ask that a show devoted to games and gamers treat it's audience as intelligent and mature people?

back to the topic. what happened to the daredevil game (http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=280456)? I haven't seen any gameplay media on this...makes me worry when a game is 2 months from release and there is only one screen cap of the game.

<I>EA to Create Marvel-Licensed Fighting Titles
New games will feature Marvel heroes and brand new EA characters.

February 06, 2004 - Electronic Arts and Marvel Enterprises announced today that they have entered a multi-year agreement in which EA will develop a new series of fighting games featuring licensed Marvel characters as well as an entirely new set of EA superheroes.


Further, as part of the agreement Marvel will be granted exclusive worldwide licensing rights to publish comic books featuring the new EA characters.

"It's a unique opportunity, partnering with Marvel to bring their renowned Super Heroes into original videogame environments, as well as providing us an opportunity to create new heroes that will live in games, comic books and other licensing or media opportunities that Marvel presents," said John Riccitiello, President and COO for Electronic Arts. "Fans of both traditional Marvel comics as well as video games have a lot to be excited about as they will be able to fight it out between established Marvel Super Heroes and EA's new heroes in original scenarios."

While EA has indicated that games featuring the new superheroes are already in development at the EAC studio in British Columbia with an expected late 2005 release, no specific titles or characters have been announced. We do know, however, that The Hulk and Punisher characters will not be included, as these characters are already covered in licenses with other publishers. Spider-Man and X-Men characters, however, may well appear in the new titles.

Platform details have not been announced, although the license agreement covers all current and next-generation platforms.</I>

Great another things EA has its claws sunk in to. EA has some good games but they are getting under my skin a little especially with the way they changed Command and Conquer just booooo. But I suppose it cant be any worse than most of the Marvel games out now.

at least EA has the $$$$ to put into the franchise. most of the marvel fighting games have been so-so. I liked the xmen fighters, but there was nothing super special about them. I liked the capcom fighters....but again nothing super special. I'm looking forward to X-Men Legends.....but a fighting game with daredevil, thor, thing....that would be cool. of course who knows what character make the cut.
