Marvel's Midnight Suns, the Marvel universe card-based tactical RPG from Firaxis announced last year, was originally supposed to have been out this March. After seeing the initial reactions from the community, Firaxis announced their decision to postpone the game's release back in November. Could that mean they were going to drop the card-based combat? Yesterday during the Summer Game Fest opening event, amongst countless sci-fi horror game trailers, there was also a new cinematic trailer for Midnight Suns announcing a release date of October 7th.

​

There's no gameplay here, but there are plenty of details about it in the new batch of hands-on previews that were published across the web alongside the announcement. Some of the previews claim the game is totally like XCOM and others say it's the anti-XCOM, but all confirm that yes, the cards are still there.

This was the only news announced yesterday that was (barely) relevant to Codex interests. There'll be more stuff happening over the weekend, but I guess the Xbox Showcase on Sunday is going to be the main event for RPGs.

this looks kinda gey. imma watch a playthrough of it on youtube

 

[ArchAngel]

So they given up and are going straight for mobile and kid gameplay..

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

I think they already gave when they released that shitty X-Com mobile game. And Chimera squad before that.
And arguably X-COM 2 with it's dumb action hero super saiyan shit.

X-COM is the new Command and Conquer. Fuck 2K.

 

[ropetight]

Disney is going to push so much uninspired shovelware in the next couple of years that it is best to ignore it.
TV shows, movies, video games... all bland and complete waste of time.

Add Master of Puppets in soundtrack for complete insult.

 

[Nazrim Eldrak]

Please don't open the spoiler if you have sensitive nerves and hope this will be a good game.
Once opened, you won't unsee it.
This is what I see.

Marvel universe

card-based tactical RPG

Didn't read any further, confirmed shit.

 

[Jason Liang]

Card-based tactical rpg means hopefully they are cribbing from Cardhunter.

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

Infinitron is literally shit posting again

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Hold on a minute, isn't the last one also Lilith from Diablo? :D

Yep. I noted that way back. Same energy is correct.

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

Does anyone still care about capeshit?

 

[Spectacle]

Firaxis is still around?

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

Cape shit?

NOPE. Not even worth pirating.

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Shame Xcom3 died for this.

Bargain bin material

 

[Lagole Gon]

I think I'm going to start puking capes soon.

 

[Bester]

This game's steam page doesn't open in Russia. Oh god, the sanctions!

You had a good thing going on with Jettatura, why the relapse?

 

[*-*/\--/\~]

[deuxhero]

The gameplay looked terrible, and that's coming from someone who loves non-roguelite single player card games games.

I mean I'm not big on this game either, but what?

That's as far fetched and generic as you can get.

Well, that seems to be your opinion, and there's not much to say about an opinion, is there?!

But all I can say is that for my part I don't like the parallels I'm seeing with the game compared to Dragon Age.
The obvious looks of the characters (DA1 and DA2) and the obvious concept of a green flame/energy that reminds me of DA 3 (green gates)
and the corrupted marvel "heroes" are too obvious compared to the blight in DA1.

The comparison to Diablo is just a creative way of saying that I believe the main priority of the game is making money.
I don't feel any "passion" in the trailer.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

It's marvel shit. Passion died out a long time ago.

 

[Lagole Gon]

This game's steam page doesn't open in Russia. Oh god, the sanctions!

Well, at least ur mum's legs are still open for everyone.

I don't see any passion either, but that comparison is still some inane shit. At that point you might as well compare Warcraft.

It's an incredible generic trailer with corrupted heroes. I doubt DA was an influence in any way above anything superficial.
