Marvel looking to improve the quality of licensed games

Recent Marvel games have not being very good. In fact, they’ve being so bad they’ve made Hulk want to smash stuff and made Iron Man want to lose his mind. Thankfully, it seems Marvel now realise this, and have announced they will be looking to give developers a chance to make better quality games based on their licences.

They cite may reasons that their games will be better in the future, with the stand out one being they are granting developers a longer period to develop the games. They remark that this will be particularly advantageous to games based on movies, and wants the developers to get to work before the final movie script is even approved. As an example of this it is mentioned that Sega are already working on games based on the upcoming 2010 movies Thor and Avengers.

Aside from film to game tie-in’s it was also mentioned that the company would start to allow more games to be made without necessarily having to be tided to an upcoming movie, and that downloadable and casual video games based could be an option too.
