Quote:
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a new tactical RPG set in the darker side of the Marvel Universe, putting you face-to-face against demonic forces of the underworld as you team up with and live among the Midnight Suns, Earth's last line of defense.
After centuries of sleep, Lilith, Mother of Demons, has been revived by Hydra through a twist of dark magic and science. Lilith stops at nothing to complete an ancient prophecy and bring back her evil master, Chthon. Pushed to the brink, the Avengers desperately look to fight fire with hellfire and enlist the help of the Midnight Suns - Nico Minoru, Blade, Magik and Ghost Rider - young heroes with powers deeply rooted in the supernatural, formed to prevent the very prophecy Lilith aims to fulfill. Together, they resurrect an ancient warrior - the Hunter, Lilith’s forsaken child and the only hero known to have ever defeated her. In the face of fallen allies and the fate of the world at stake, it will be up to you to rise up against the darkness!

Ok, but whats up with that lame interpretation of Enter Sandman.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
its Robbie Reyes Ghostrider
... iitc in the comics he was GR right after Johyn Blaze and rides 1969 Dodge Charger instead of bike
Second GR was Danny Ketch (Johnny's lost brother). He also rode a bike and he was part of the Midnight Sons. Third GR is Reyes, which rode the 1969 Dodge Charger.
But the original GR isn't Johnny Blaze, but a Wild West gunslinger called Carter Slade. Due to various reasons his name was changed into Phantom Raider. Johnny and Carter met at some point, during one of the Johnny's time travel adventures.
The GR in the trailer is Reyes for sure. And the bloody story has little in common with the comics. Midnight Sons had in its ranks only supernatural beings. Really obscure stuff like Morbius, Darkhold Redeemers and Nightstalker, with an occasional visit from Doctor Strange.
End of my memories about Midnight Sons. It's been ages since i've read those. One thing is certain, the Spirits of Vengeance in the comics were Blaze, Ketch and Badilino (aka Vengeance).
If they implement them well superpowers could give a wide range of tactical options, and more unique enemies.
Balance and execution will be key.
Story i don't care as much about, but i like basebuilding and development, depends what they will do with that.
I was hoping for XCOM 3 but the Marvelitis is spreading across all mediums
This game is so they have a bigger budget to make Xcom 3.
I think it might be fun as it seems they are also picking a lot of characters that are not the usual big names since it's the Midnight Suns, which is a dumb PC name change but I guess they did not want people complaining how can the Midnight Sons have women on the team they need to be all inclusive with the name too.
OMG this uses card mechanics? My interest in this game just doubled - as a long-time fan of both of Firaxis' XCOM games, I'm completely hyped now.
I just hope they include ironman mode like in the XCOMs... finishing those games on the highest possible difficulty settings are some of my most memorable gaming achievements.
random card unlocks + 2k now thats a bad combination
This i don't mind the card battle system but i really don't trust 2k to not exploit it to make a quick buck with card booster packs, loot boxes and other f2p like systems so i will just wait and see.
You still can soft lock someone with bad card drops and force them to buy a "guarantee".

From the first trailer I was glad to see they had Nico Minoru in the game as I always liked that character in the comics but then with this new trailer seeing they gave her all the Emo piercings makes me hope it is easy to get her an alt costume looking more like she does in the comic books.
I don't mind the card combat but it is a bit of a shame as the traditional Xcom combat would have been more welcome.
i just cant get over this, it looks like their first xcom game, this is supposed to be next fucking gen era ... it looks worse then xcom from gfx pov aka recycled xcom engine ....
The character walking animations for the exploration and hub area look a bit rough so I wonder if that is just an engine thing like they are using a variation of the Xcom engine and they are just trying to make it work since controls like that are not the norm for the engine or if its because its still in a beta stage and might get smoothed out for release.
