Square Enix
--- not the first company that wanted to release an ultimatum game on
"The Avengers"
from
Marvel
. 10 years ago, when
THQ
was still alive and not mutated into
THQ Nordic
, it developed a superhero action game for the then-current platforms-Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and PC.
Prototype
The Avengers
from
THQ
for Xbox 360 fell into the hands of the inhabitants of the portal Obscure Gamers and video game historian
++Andrew Borman++
(Andrew Borman). It seems that the game was ideologically similar to the upcoming ones
"The Avengers"
from
Square Enix
: co-op for up to four people, pumping, different skills of characters, skin system. Except that the perspective was chosen from the eyes, not from the third person.
According to the prototype, in
The Avengers
from
THQ
at least four characters were planned --- Iron man, Thor, Hulk, and Captain America. Heroes received experience for killing opponents and could perform team tricks.
As it says
Wikipedia
,
The Avengers
from
THQ
wanted to release in 2012 under the guise of a movie
"The Avengers"
. The game was not based on the movie, but on its own script with elements of the story arc of the Secret Invasion comics.
The Avengers
developed by Australian divisions
THQ
THQ Studio Australia
and
Blue Tongue
. In mid-2011
THQ
I was struggling with problematic production
Homefront
and the uDraw gaming tablet accessory. In addition, fluctuations in the Australian dollar led to the fact that the maintenance of studios in Australia was very expensive, so the publisher canceled the superhero action movie and closed
THQ Studio Australia
and
Blue Tongue
.
The game was tried to save: a few weeks before the cancellation
THQ
asked for financial assistance from
Marvel
, but she refused to allocate a budget.
THQ
sold it
Ubisoft
license to release the software game
"The Avengers"
. In the fall of 2012, the French company released
Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth
for Xbox 360 and Wii U. It borrowed some concepts from
The Avengers
from
THQ
, but overall turned out to be a completely different game and received mediocre reviews from critics --- 61 out of 100 on the Xbox 360 and 50 out of 100 on the Wii U.
