User blog:ProfessorKilroy/Ultimate Marvel Game

So, I came up with an idea for a video game. It is set out very much like the ultimate alliance games (and inspired by them a fair bit too), but is much bigger. In fact, it's really impossibly big. I haven't decided on who all the playable characters would be, but there'd be a lot of them. So anyway, I decided on the entire plot of the story. I don't go into huge detail such as individual scenes and conflicts, but here goes:

It starts off with a number of small, introductory events that set up future plot points. Among them, you encounter the Masters of Evil, here led by Doctor Doom. During these events, your team comes across Loki, who tempts you to over to the dark side. You can choose to pledge your alliegance to him, or choose not to.

Following this, Nick Fury chooses to take a team to invade Latveria, similar to the Secret War. As in Ultimate Alliance 2, the effects of this invasion begin to wreak havok back at home. This, along with various other events causes much anxiety about Superheroes, causing the government to put a Superhuman Registration Act in place, as in the Civil War storyline. Your team can choose whether to support the act or go against it. After finishing the Civil war storyline, there are four different plot paths.

Firstly, if you opposed both Loki and the SRA, a storyline invloving Thanos as the villain begins. The battle with Thanos causes mayhem, and ultimately, it was Norman Osborn who formed the scheme to get rid of Thanos. Awarded for his achievements, the government places Osborn in a high position, and so begins the Dark Reign storyline. While Osborn is in charge, Loki is allowed to scheme. Firstly you must defeat Osborn's system, before discovering Loki's master plan. You must then defeat Loki. After this, Kang the Conqueror comes from the future to warn them of a betrayal from Captain America. He came to invade the timeline and kill Captain America, so you must defeat Kang and prevent his invasion of your timeline.

Secondly, if you opposed Loki, but supported the SRA, the system would go extreme. Sentinels would be brought in to get rid of any rebels. Suddenly Kang appears to warn your team of a future wasteland caused by the sentinels, and tries to prevent this future by conquering the timeline. He takes you to the future, in a Days of Future Past type scenario. You must defeat the sentinels, and master mould, before finding a way back to your own timeline to defeat Kang and his invasion, as well as removing the SRA. As a result, all captured rebels are freed. However, this causes the government to have a severe distrust of all heroes, placing Norman Osborn in charge of SHIELD. So, the Dark Reign storyline begins, where supervillain power rises. Amongst this, Loki begins to scheme. First you must defeat the villains in charge, before discovering Loki's master plan and foiling it.

Thirdly, if you secretly allied yourself with Loki, and opposed the SRA, a storyline involving Thanos as the villain begins. Loki's scheme is being put into place, so you must assist him. Part of this involves creating a sentinel program to remove all threats. Following this, you must defeat Thanos, and help Loki take over. Suddenly Kang appears to warn your team of a future wasteland caused by the sentinels, and tries to prevent this future by conquering the timeline. He takes you to the future, in a Days of Future Past type scenario. You must defeat the sentinels, and master mould, before finding a way back to your own timeline to defeat Kang and his invasion. You discover Loki has become far too power crazed, so you must defeat him.

Finally, if you secretly allied yourself with Loki, but supported the SRA, your team betrays other heroes to support Norman Osborn who under the SRA, rises to power. You must assist Osborn in fighting heroes, and capture some of them. You release sentinels to assist your endevours, but they suddenly turn on you. The sentinels begin attacking everyone, including the villains in charge, in a Days of Future Past type scenario. You must defeat the sentinels, and communicate with the past to prevent it from happening. Then the time comes to assist Loki in setting up his plan. You realise that Loki is going power crazy, so when Thanos comes, a storyline where he is the villain occurs. You discover that working with the heroes to defeat Thanos is better, so you betray Loki and defeat his plan afterwards.

After this, the different plot paths merge while Skrulls begin to take the places of your teammates for the Secret invasion storyline. After defeating the Skrulls, you find that Dr Doom has assembled a massive army of supervillains and wages an all-out war against the heroes. And when you finish that, that's the end of the game.

So what do people think? Any other storylines I need in there? Any playable character suggestions?
