After decades of crap, I had pretty much accepted that we were never going to get a good Transformers video game. High Moon Studios rolled around with 2010's Transformers: War for Cybertron, proving me wrong and providing a fast-paced, fan-faithful, and above all fun shooting/transforming/giant-robot-fighting experience.
While many of us wait breathlessly for
WfC's follow-up,
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron,
High Moon has stated that its next project is all about Marvel Comics.
No other details were given, but High Moon will make a full announcement
about the game at San Diego Comic-Con (this coming July 12-15, although
the "Marvel Video Games" panel will be on July 14th).
The smart thing to do is
not get overly excited, but
being the huge True Believer that I am,
it's difficult not to! Here are three recent Marvel arcs I'd love to
see get a solid single-player action-adventure treatment from High Moon:
Annihilation- Instead of a fight to save just
the Earth, Nova and other C-list spacefaring superheroes have to band
together against an unstoppable cosmic army that grinds everything in
its path to dust. This is the Gurren-Lagann of comic books, and would make an awesome HD superhero gaming spectacle.
