Alert: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 probably set to delist soon [Update: Gone, Thanks Thanos]

Nerdkiller · Jul 23, 2018

Any other time they'd be on sale, I'd probably wouldn't do this, but given the deep discount both games are getting (€14.99 if you buy them as a bundle), plus the timing of the sale (almost 2 years to the day the games released on Steam) leads me to believe that Activision's licence for the games are set to expire very soon. So if you had any nigglings for getting the two, act on it now, because I don't really see them being brought back anytime soon.

flaxknuckles · Jul 23, 2018

Looks like my instincts to buy it in the Ultimate sale were right. I should get them on Steam too.

darkside · Jul 23, 2018

They were also the cheapest they've ever been by a mile on PSN during the sale last week. It wouldn't surprise me but the lack of any kind of notice with stuff like this always sucks

Deleted member 9857 · Jul 23, 2018

aren't they just on sale for SDCC?

Deleted member 23212 · Jul 23, 2018

Hmm, that's still too much for me to bite, GO LOWER!!

Lukar · Jul 23, 2018

Which one's the better of the two? I might grab one of them.

Corrupt · Jul 23, 2018

Aren't they terrible ports though?

1 is definitely better, but it's $15 to get both of them in a bundle

I don't know about the second one, but I played the first one on PC without any complaints

I think they fixed the problems of the PC version

Activision hasn't really had the best track record on keeping licensed stuff for long as of recent. Remember the Deadpool ports for PS4 and Xbone? And Transformers Devastation? Both disappeared within two years, I believe.

Definitely 1. 2's fine but 1 is really good.

Deleted member 3058 · Jul 23, 2018

Thanks.

Bought.

Rodney McKay · Jul 23, 2018

Still bummed I didn't get the second War for Cybertron game before it was delisted, same with Devastation

Don't think either of them got particularly good sales.

number8888 · Jul 23, 2018

Xbox Live also have it on sale. Should I get it there of Steam?

BassForever · Jul 23, 2018

Did they ever get the dlc characters for 1? Or are they still locked to the mua gold edition disc on 360/ps3?

FinKL · Jul 23, 2018

When it's delisted, can you redownload it later down the line?

https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Marvel:_Ultimate_Alliance_(2016)

All DLC from the original Raven Software version (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC) is included.

I don't see why you can't unless the company's really scummy, like Konami.

Waddle Dee · Jul 23, 2018

Friendly PSA to tell you NOT to buy Ultimate Alliance 2 unless soul-crushing tedium and drab visuals are your thing.

The first Ultimate Alliance is okay for what it is.

Cool, bought. Got 2 as well since it was only $5 more, 2 is pretty meh but at least I have it

Hero · Jul 23, 2018

Did these ever get fixed? I thought I remember them being broken or something on release?

Yukari · Jul 23, 2018

Still expensive.

Deleted member 9317 · Jul 23, 2018

Should've bought the bundle on PS4 when it was on sale last week for like $15 or less for both.

Goddamnit. I just bought these on PSN, guess I'm double dipping. Lord only knows about ten year back compat plan on PS6.

The first Ultimate Alliance is okay for what it is.

It's the exact same gameplay loop as the first one with better graphics and improved combat options. The story's ass, but that goes for both of em. The only thing the first has on the second is more costume options.

Deleted member 4037 · Jul 23, 2018

Is it getting delisted elsewhere too?

allenpergallon · Jul 23, 2018

These were on sale for this price on Humble maybe a week or two ago, it might just be the new low? I don't think it's a severe drop from its previous sale point either.

Either way it's Activision and the timing sounds suspicious so the choice is yours.

BasilZero · Jul 23, 2018

Is there any SP content or is it mainly MP?

TheChewyWaffles · Jul 23, 2018

Xbox versions ok?

CommodoreKong · Jul 23, 2018

If they actually are going to get delisted they're going to get deslisted everywhere.

Gestault · Jul 23, 2018

Both are single player, with optional co-op. Basically, think along the lines of Diablo. There's a lot of content, especially in the first one.

//

Other than the sale price and the timing from the original Steam release date, have we seen any corroboration anywhere else?

Awesome, thanks for the info.

Gonna grab this then.

I wonder if its just a Activision licensing thing or if Marvel/Disney are taking away licenses or letting them expire kinda like what happened with Marvel VS Capcom 3 few years back.

Either ways, like Deadpool on PC/Steam, I'll be getting these two games just in case. Not gonna make the same mistake I did when I missed out on the TMNT game.

Futaleufu · Jul 23, 2018

Those games are even more expensive in my local currency. Thanks, but no thanks.

Lunchbox · Jul 23, 2018

I grabbed these a couple weeks ago, always liked these games.

GrrImAFridge · Jul 23, 2018

Yeah, expect them to disappear at the end of the year/early next. Acti ditches unwanted licences when transitioning to a new financial year and makes good use of Steam's self-discount tool to offer deep discounts on titles that will be affected. A great example of the former is Bond: there were still two years remaining on the licence (minus a few days) when the games were delisted at the beginning of 2013.

J_Viper · Jul 23, 2018

Thanks for the heads up OP, time to grab these

AMAGON · Jul 23, 2018

It seems their is issues with playing with a controller?

Any of you guys that had played this experience this issue?

Mind that I have an Xbone/360/ps4 controller to use.

olubode · Jul 23, 2018

Could someone comment on the XBOneversions? $20 CAD right now for both

Fat4all · Jul 23, 2018

this seems to happen a good bit with Marvel stuff

elektrixx · Jul 24, 2018

Thanks, OP. It's a good idea to get them.

neoak · Jul 24, 2018

Bundle for XBO https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/m...ndle/c4lg7vwz482l?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

KeyBladerXIII · Jul 24, 2018

Damn, should've got the bundle when it was on sale for Ps4. Do they have trophies?

jediyoshi · Jul 24, 2018

Steam link to the bundle

Platy · Jul 24, 2018

damn they are still too expensive here ... but ... =|

Secretofmateria · Jul 24, 2018

I just grabbed both of them on sale as a bundle for 15 bucks on xbox...the first one was definitely better when i was a kid playing that on my new xbox 360 lol

I played the first one co-op, with two DirectInput controllers (Logitech Dual Actions)

I wish I had gotten Devastation digitally as well. I did get Fall though. I had to buy the discs for the rest when they delisted.

I don't understand why most companies don't give us a heads up before they remove them. Like, sales will definitely spike, even at full price if people know they will be gone forever.

I bought the bundle on Steam last night and played the first game for a bit. I used my DS4 (wired) and didn't have any problems. It would still show me Xbox controller buttons in prompts, but I expected that.

hersheyfan · Jul 24, 2018

Thanks for the heads up, OP!

Grabbed the two pack, I've always had a soft spot for the first MUA, and I've never played the second one. Will be great to play this with beefier hardware.

Yatagarasu · Jul 24, 2018

Do either the PC or console versions have online co-op?
