On the first day of PAX East Gazillion Entertainment announced the release date for the upcoming MMORPG Marvel Heroes – June 4th 2013! For those that can’t wait until then there is an option to spend a little money now and get early access.
In a new interview with VideoGamer, Diablo creator David Brevik looks back on Disney's closure of Marvel Heroes developer Gazillion.
3 responses and 140º heat. 🤔
I just submitted a story about a dev calling out journos for writing hit pieces on other competing games. It certainly puts all the negative press about certain games into perspective.
Journos are the problem in the industry right now. People might make inflammatory comments but that's always been the case in the internet type of discourse. Journos fan the flames and most of the times they start the fire.
For the record, I know it's pinned because it's videogamer. But why are we pinning their sub par content
BGFG owns both N4G and video gamer. The owners want to promote content. At least it's an interview and not something else. It was supposed to unpin after 2 hours, but something went wrong. I manually unpinned it.

My man, you’re too emotionally invested to a website. Take a step back and just enjoy the content you like, avoid the content you don’t. If you don’t fit within a community, just try another until your views align.
A non-profit educational group is looking to buy the Marvel Heroes license to either maintain the MMOARPG as-is or use it to build an entirely new game.
Why campaign is set to "Flexible goal"? Like "We desperately need $450 000, but hey, we'll settle for any amount of money you'll give to us. And we won't have to do a damn thing.".
They say in Indiegogo campaign: "To achieve our plan, we are currently seeking a minimum of $450k – $900k". MINIMUM of $450k, so why "flexible"?
Next, they say that currently, "creditors claims totaling at $900K" and "The closer our offer is to those claims, the greater our chances of success". A chance costs $450 000.
They're also saying that "One downside is that Gazillion has spent millions to license the use of characters and story lines over the years", where will they get millions for a license? Another campaign? Aggressive microtransactions? Oh, right, "Unless millions are raised to fund this campaign, the odds of this option being successful are very limited."
Even their Paragon university website has "Coming Soon" on it and "Elder mage" have only one "news" and copy-pasted content from Indiegogo campaign. Sounds like a scam to me.
These were all my feelings as well. The whole thing reeks of ripoff and I'm generally a pretty forgiving guy when it comes to crowdfunding campaigns.
Chris and Colby are back with Episode 2 of the Gaming Historia podcast. In this episode, we use the imminent closure of Paragon as a jumping off point to discuss Digital Gaming and how it affects gaming as a whole. In addition, we get a little off topic about questionable things that are done with amiibos.
I really want a decent super heros mmo...and I really want it to be in the Marvel world.
Not sure how I feel about this just yet...
I got a chance to play it at PAX East today. Pretty fun game, but I feel like the AI could really use some work.
I have been told that this game is actually quite addicting. Kind hesitant but it would be nice to be surprised.
