The Marvel Game You Can't Play Anymore Is BACK! (Marvel Heroes Omega)

[@erikmartinez1384]

This game shutting down was truly a sad day for Marvel fans and gaming.

[@iVoltexYT]

It really was.

[@hughheavens3753]

I love this freakin game.

[@thomasblitter]

Yes, I remember I was so hyped to play the game again and when I was about to download it I was surprised by the terrible notice the servers would close permanently in a few days/weeks...

[@xKyleChaosx]

Agreed. It finally came to consoles so I could finally play it and paid for content on it and then all of a sudden - gone!

[@darkgannon]

I blame Disney they shut these guys down

[@hellarossome]

As someone who spent many days working on the original game, and several more playing it as a fan beforehand, thank you for putting this video together, and thank you so much to the community for putting this fan project together. Watching this and reminiscing has me feeling all kinds of nostalgia. Even after working on many different games afterwards over the many years since we were shut down, Marvel Heroes was still my favorite project to work on by far. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not wishing that I could run through Midtown and smash some bosses with all that super hero flair. We put so much love and dedication to this game, and it makes me proud to see that a few people recognized that even today. Thank you all so much ❤

[@donniem7979]

is there anyway to license it again, and recreate the project with some kind of kickstart?

[@Reisak.]

Thanks for making this game posible! 🙏 it was so great.. 🥹

[@brandonmetro7115]

Thank you so much for what you did in the game. I miss doomsaws updates. Remember when they released the doomsaw Item. It was 100 percent brutal hit I believe. Anyways, it gave me great joy just to stand in a lobby having my favorite costume on with my favorite hero. You're right, running through Midtown was the greatest. it was called Midtown Mondays I believe.

[@serbukmomogi]

this game is what the new Marvel Ultimate Alliance should've been. especially the large amounts of costume

this game was so good I still can't believe it was shut down. My friends and I use to play this a lot the character roster was stacked and they had some awesome costumes Nightcrawler had an awesome ult when he teleports a bunch of random objects on top of the enemies

[@iVoltexYT]

100%. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@das_2379]

Me and my friend grew up playing ultimate alliance one. I ended up finding out about Omega just before the shutdown. Happy to say that him and I did get a few hours of local coop in omega before the shutdown.

[@iVoltexYT]

Glad you got that experience

[@solblackguy]

City of Heroes is back, got a license and now Marvel Heroes is back? What a time to be alive.

[@WawaMarvel]

It’s not “back”.

[@hodeyfu7617]

It’s come a long way

[@franciscoOrellana29]

No, it still needs some development, but we're almost there 😉

[@WWEGaymer]

It’s not back 🤦‍♂️

[@someguy1ification]

IIRC, the execs (who had been embezzling while the company had been struggling and laying off its developers...) closed the whole building off a couple monthd before the game was supposed to shut down and deleted a bunch of key files. When Gaz's assets were bought, there wasn't enough to run the game off of. Nice to see that people are rebuilding it. Game really was a labor of love, so much detail.

[@laplumemobile]

Used to play this game every day. Was so upset when it's got shut down. No other Marvel game has filled its place.

[@iVoltexYT]

It really does seem very special

[@RyanAggabao]

Played Marvel Heroes since beta (it had several public beta tests). I ended up pre-ordering Ms. Marvel and someone else (maybe Vision?) and the hero packs came with 2 costumes/skins. Gazillion definitely nailed the engine perfect, and the sound design just right. Whenever I fire up Last Epoch or Diablo, I wish I were still playing Marvel Heroes. Thank you Brevik and Gazillion for the wonderful memories.

[@iVoltexYT]

They really did put a lot of time and love into this game and it really showed

[@TheGreatSayaMan0212]

​@@Valentinecasteuh no,it was great and loved on consoles

[@bittersweetjesus]

I just deleted it from my Steam library the other day. Going to download this when I get home.

[@SheriffCheese]

Me playing this the first time after 8 years had me emotionally not ready, and ngl, I teared up hearing the Avengers Tower lobby music again and playing as Bucky, who was my main hero along with Venom. The proper amount of nostalgia kicked in at a time when I needed it, and without a doubt, this game changed my life, and I'm so happy I can at least experience apart of it again.

[@iVoltexYT]

I'm glad you got to experience it once again!

[@Lunzatis_Palemoon]

I was one of the people who played this game from almost the very beginning. I was one of the Beta players for Marvel Heroes and played it for a lot of it's lifespan, I missed the last year because they started making changes a year prior to shutting down that took the game in some bad directions. Marvel Heroes was a great game and I hope this Emulator succeeds and can truly bring Marvel Heroes back. I would love to play it again.

This game shutting down was one of the biggest disappointments to me in Marvel gaming for a long time. It felt so right and I barely got to play it for a month.

[@iVoltexYT]

Agreed

[@ChrisLikesMovies82]

What a blast from the past. I put a lot of hours in this game. Storm was my go to character.

[@iVoltexYT]

Awesome!

[@Dreklore]

Played this game since launch of it. Still my all time favorite marvel game. My favorites were Nova, silver surfer and magneto. Though every character could be fun. I hope they continue to work on this revival and can bring the whole game back to life. The quests and side stories were awesome

[@forestpark73]

We’d still be playing this if it were a physical release.

[@joaopescusa]

I miss this game

[@iVoltexYT]

You and me both and this was my first time playing, I can't imagine how fun it would've been at its peak

[@wayneshobbygallery]

I remember playing it back in 2013 until the time it's shut down! Thanks to you guys, I finally get to play it again! ^^

[@TheGabrielv1312]

I've been waiting for a revival of this game for so long, finally

[@iVoltexYT]

Woo!

[@Holy_Venom]

I had no idea this game even existed just stumbled upon it now. I would absolutely love to play it!

[@DarthSoto78]

The most OP character was scarlet witch. She did so much damage, and her ultimate was an AOE that destroyed everything. Her animation for her Ultimate was the same thing she did in Age of Ultron when Quicksilver died. Where she went to her knees, and everything around her just gets destroyed.

[@Alekazam_tv]

I used to play this! Loved it with my buddies, we'd run random events together, and I had a handful of characters I really loved playing. Ironman was my main, but Spidey was a close second!

[@SephirothsGirlfriend]

Thank you so much for posting this you made my day! I have been missing this game for so long and have not stopped thinking about it since 2017. So happy to know there is a way to play it now. I absolutely love the character Phoenix from Marvel and this is the only game that lets me play and pretend to be her lol!

[@brandonmetro7115]

Same here bro, I loved the coloring on her powers. And I was a huge fan of her psychic Mind drain. I would always use your 90s costume to match Cyclops's Blue and yellow costume. Gosh I'd missed this game. I do believe I was the only one comboing Cyclopses Karate moves.

[@rjb_3019]

Wow, I always wanted to play this game, but I did not have a chance to play it due to having a really bad pc during those times. Although I have a pretty decent pc right now, I was so sad when I found out that it was shutdown in 2017. I really hope this game is at it's peak again!

I can't wait to play this game all over again!! :D

[@iVoltexYT]

You're welcome, friend! Enjoy being able to play the game again! Thanks for sharing your memories!

[@caiuscosades362]

I got the US agent costume for captain America from a drop in a random barrel in a one room instance during a dungeon. The costume couldn't be bought anymore so I knew this was a sign that this was "my game". I mained Mr. Fantastic though. I liked that he had a mixture of stretchy powers and gadgets. He was really low tier but in this game there was a progression grid after you reached mx level that gained experience based on how many characters you max leveled. You could essentially make any hero god tier with these extra stats if you're already geared out.

[@T1BillionX]

Man, I miss this game so much. So many great memories. I've been waiting for some to get it up and running again.

[@silverscreemer]

I used to have an "infinite ammo" Punisher build I loved. I actually had most of, if not all the heroes, and a lot of costumes. Difficult to remember exactly what I had, but I know I had multiple Spider-Man costumes...

[@azraelcales]

Man I was so disappointed when this got shut down. I really hope they can fully bring it back. Actually got my wife into it and she really enjoyed it as well. Being able to play as Nova was the best. He was so amazing.

[@wolfmech]

Marvel heroes was such a good game back when it first came out. I'm glade that a team is breathing life back into this wonderful game.

[@KartiXL]

What team? News link?

This game was so incredible. I absolutely miss playing Omega

[@carlbloke8797]

God I wish this was back on modern consoles. I would so play this on the Switch. As much as I enjoy and appreciate Ultimate Alliance 3, I hate that Marvel doesn’t have a big MMO. If DC Universe online can still exist then so can Marvel Heroes honestly

[@AdorableFlamey]

Exactly!! I wonder if marvel knows how much money they would make if they brought in a new team to keep going with this game (or hire the crew already doing it) and really push as the next big marvel ultimate alliance game

[@iVoltexYT]

100%.

[@dan7549]

I used to play this game back in the day and loved it. I was hoping it would be playable again.

[@p4rt_t1me_g0d]

Found this on PS4 about a month before it shut down. Managed to get the platinum the day before it went down. Had a blast, fond memories! They've added so many more characters, I would love to play as Sunspot.

[@fishnewt1331]

I wonder if the devs are able to change powers too. I remember Jean Grey’s old Ult. Very standard giant Phoenix, but it works. Especially better than the swirling psionic vortex of Phoenix birds circling her that she ended with. I definitely prefer the first over the last.

[@222aztek]

This game was one of my favorite games, bar none. I miss it a lot. I hope Marvel Rivals is just as good.

[@mblythe21]

I spent so much money on this game back in the day. I would gift costumes... Truly loved playing the Human Torch.

[@80sgamer76]

I played this game so much when it was live I unlocked every single character and their costumes.

[@nathanddrews]

I had close to like 4,000 hours into this game and probably spent far too much money, but it was worth every penny for the short time we had. So absurd that it went away. It was the true successor to X-Men Legends/MUA.

[@SocietyOfDecency]

I miss this game so much. Spent hundreds on it when it was live.

[@The92Ghost]

I still remember getting an invite into the closed beta, I was so excited!!! And started playing it about a year or two before its official release, 2012 I believe, and then the game moved to open beta and then it released. It was a great blast but at some point the game was getting a bit repetitive and it was hard to gather the crystals to unlock new heroes or costumes, too bad they closed it up. I definitely tried the reborned version with the emulator but it just doesn't hit the same way, at least not until they fully connect all the disconnected systems like civillians saving, story progress, quests etc. However, I know that they will manage it eventually. Wish Marvel would just give them the server files themselves and assist them with bringing the game back, just like City of Heroes devs provided the license to the emulator team. However, knowing Disney and Marvel, it would probably never happen.

[@Black0wt20]

Instant click and subscribe. Its like KZbin knows what I like! Absolutely adored this game!

[@deathproof8732]

Man. I had 75 percent of the roster when this game shut down. I was so gd mad when it was announced to shut down. I loved this game.

[@bonaelzee]

I miss this game. It was my favorite Diablo clone like game. I was an Iceman main and made a summoner build. It got me through end game content. I was starting to build up Deadpool next before the shutdown

[@TheFreedyShow]

I was so happy when I found out about this. I hope they do get at least single player to work as the OG game did. This game did not deserve to be shutdown. IT was incredible. The only F2P game I ever spent £200 on, because it was so enjoyable. Yet so many didn't support it and also Gazillion were to blame for it going down. They mis managed the finances and the player base so badly. I hope they bring it back or something simular in the future. However I can't wait for future updates to one of the best Marvel games ever made.

[@iVoltexYT]

It will keep getting better and better! :)

[@gus051]

I still think about this game every now and then. Why has no developer taken a second shot at it or a similar game?

[@iVoltexYT]

It would probably take a lot of time and resources

[@jayce4087]

Gazillion sold all their game IP and assets to Trion Worlds after the company went under. So either Trion has to go to Marvel and want to pay tens of millions a year in licensing fees to bring this game back or another company would need to buy the assets from Trion and THEN go to Marvel. Neither of those scenarios are likely at all so the success and progress of this emulator is the best we're going to get.

[@SlimPug]

I never got to play this game but I feel for the fan base, Disney took this game from you like they took SWG (Star wars Galaxies) from me and many others, Respects.

[@travistouchdown3822]

This game truly made you feel like you are part of MARVEL universe You swing around New York Spiderman, Scorpion and Shocker rob the bank. Then it all tied to Kingpin action and Spiderman team up with Daredevil to put an end to this. Suddenly X-men need your help to defeat Magneto. Then Avengers need your help to defeat Dr Doom. Only to end it all with Thor asking us for help to defeat Loki who tried to conquer Asgard again. This game truly made you feel like you are part of MARVEL and truly immers yourself in this world. When I first played it I used MCU skins imagine it all takes place between movies ;) playing Captain America and Falcon team up patroling New York

[@iVoltexYT]

Yo I used to love playing this game on PlayStation it was my favorite Marvel game back in the day. I was there @ the end they gave us every character to play & now it looks like more characters have been added wish it would make a come back on PS. If I remember correctly it shut down because the CEO of Gazillion was a PDF & Disney asked him to step down as CEO and he wouldn't so they pulled their license

I wish we could vote or participate in like a poll to bring this game back

[@iVoltexYT]

Same

[@AdorableFlamey]

We could make noise to Marvel all over the internet?

[@fuzzypanda2804]

Thank god. We really need this because when it comes to dead media this is one of the biggest examples. Taken offline and the company refuses to sell the rights and infrastructure. So this game devinitley needed archiving so it's not lost. Hopefully the community server drums up enough hype and love as City of Heroes. Doubt it will get the same treatment but it might drive Disney themselves to wanna make one. If they see money on the table. If their able to create the models and meshes and skeletons for other characters That'd be great too. Maybe even finish up the content that wasn't ever finished. Thanos Raid, Savage lands were made for the most part but never implemented or finished.

[@KrucialKenn-]

If you could change your perspective and look towards the sky, then this game would’ve probably been untouchable. The costume UI is crazy nice.

Characters had a bunch more powers to choose from than the ones you showed, the info screen at the start made it look like they were mostly functional. I wonder how long it will take to bring Rogue back up to being functional... She's easily the most impressive character technically, every boss and every playable hero and team up had a power she could steal and learn (but only a few slots to equip in). ... Shame that the summons from Iron Man's ult weren't implemented yet.
