A major report on British developers from IndustryGamers has thown up a surprising piece of information: that Brink developers Splash Damage are probably working on a new Marvel game.The report says that the studio is working on an “unannounced project for a major entertainment brand”, which is “based on one of the biggest American pop culture brands of the last 50 years”.
When it then says this major entertainment brand is “a company widely believed to have given up on the console publishing business”, it becomes pretty clear it’s talking about Disney, which recently purchased Marvel comics.
The game in question has “online multiplayer technology” and is running on “an even more polished Brink engine”.
So, yeah, sounds a lot like Brink with Marvel characters. Maybe for the upcoming Avengers movie.

Eeeenteresting!

The Avengers film is out May next year. Changing engine might be a bit hopeful. Still interested though.

Another publication just picked this up - http://www.strategyinformer.com/news/15512/splash-damage-have-unannounced-project-with-major-entertainment-brand

Could very well be something Marvel related. Hopefully not a movie tie-in :stuck_out_tongue:

Games and movies have a bit of a tenuous relationship. That transformers game proved that you could make a really enjoyable multiplayer game out of movie IP.

I don’t think SD can afford to have a cheap knock-off on their strained name though.

The older version looked like some coop console game. SD should do what les pommes said above!

They should do the hero thing like in Star Wars battlefront. You collect points during a match and the first person to acquire enough gets the first pick of the (2-3) heroes, then the second, then the third. When you die, a hero becomes available again.

It works really well in SW BF. Heroes are supportive classes that back up the grunt warfare and the players are really careful with themselves because they won’t get it back easily when they die.

Paul Wedgewood: We’re not working with Disney. We’re not building a pop culture IP. We’re only using BRINK tech for BRINK updates atm

Oh well, back to the guessing board.

A brink mmofps in a world akin to Zelda’s windwaker, lots of things floating in the ocean.

Boby Kotick is after a MMOFPS as well. He has the money but SD has the universe.

All I hope is that we won’t have to play with characters wearing panties on their trousers… :slight_smile:

Hearing that they’re not working with Brink tech, I hope Splash Damage has a project going.

(tokamak) #17

He said they were working with Brink tech.

Least demo recording should be in at release next time then along with any other problems they’ve fixed over past months. :slight_smile:

You know the source, he didn’t say they stopped working on it.
