The Armchair Empire has posted
a short Q&A with Activision's Matthew Paul about their latest comic book action RPG, Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
Q: Has the inventory system been finalized? Is it as streamlined as possible to encourage action over the role-playing elements?
A: In fact, the inventory system is extremely different. It is streamlined so that there really isn’t any inventory management. There is still equipment, but it’s much more rare and powerful when you find it and trading it among heroes becomes more important than stockpiling it. In addition to the equipment, we’ve added more character costumes that gamers unlock through game play. Whereas in most other games, the different costumes are purely cosmetic, in our game the costumes come with extra bonuses and unique abilities so deciding the look of your hero actually affects game play.
