Make Your Own X-Men Game!

[Harpsikord]

The X-Men have a huge standing in media and the larger scheme of things. The X-Men v Street Fighter games ended up giving way to the birth of Marvel vs Capcom and X-Men Legends was the direct predecessor to the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games, but the X-Men haven't had a game all to themselves since the failure that was X-Men: Manifest Destiny. So, if you got the chance to make your own video game featuring the X-Men, what would you do with it? Who would be in it? What stories would it be based on?

Personally, I would make a game that is an action RPG styled after Dragon Age and Mass Effect. A power tree with branching skill paths so that you can build your characters in whatever ways that you want and it would still be innovative. There wouldn't be an original character supplanted as the lead of the game, instead focusing on the ensemble feel of the X-Men - you'd be able to control up to four X-Men on the field, though whoever is in the first slot is considered the party's leader and as a result the leader of the squad of X-Men.

Xavier's mansion would operate as a hub and apart from the playable cast there would be appearances here from numerous X-Men and unique conversations for each playable cast member. And for that matter, that is the case throughout the game. When at the mansion you control only one of the X-Men and that is the X-Man of your choice, with the others also hanging around the hub. The story would be based on the original X-Men v Brotherhood dynamic with a similar bent to Morrison's Planet X, including Magneto's addiction to KICK and bubbling Manhattan. There would be multiple potential endings.

The playable cast would consist of eight different X-Men:

• Cyclops
• Storm
• Wolverine
• Jean Grey
• Iceman
• Rogue
• Bishop
• Jubilee

What about you all? What would you do?

An action RPG in the style of Mass Effect.. I would be ALL over that.

Also have always wanted a Gambit or Deadpool game in the same vein as Splinter Cell or Assassins Creed.

If the technology ever gets there, a rpg were you create your own power backstory and go wild. Want to enslave the world as a benolivent god tyrant emperor cesar, or be a hero you can do it. Think the size of yggdrasil online from overlord but single player.

Just bring back Marvel Heroes. Maybe do a CAC thing, even though doing those is almost always awful.

I miss MH. I had Laura, Scarlet Witch, and Cable prestiged four times each. I MAXED OUT THE PRESTIGE FOR EMMA.

Secret Hitler but with Captain America lol. The liberals are the X-Men, and the fascists are the Avengers.

An action RPG in the style of Mass Effect is my biggest X-Men game dream ever!
Dragon Age RPG style would work too.

An open world action rpg Wolverine game set in Madripoor with gameplay elements lifted straight from the Batman Arkham games and Witcher 3. Logan has both the rogues gallery and side characters to make it work too. Other than Spider-Man, Wolverine has starred in the most video games at Marvel. Even had his own NES(before some of y'all time I assume) game back in the day. Out of all the X-Men, I see him as the only one getting his own outing if not for an actual X-Men team based game.
