āNo current plansā is politespeak for āthis ballgame is over.ā And that was the reply given by Marvelās senior executive responsible for video games production, when asked what the future holds for the publishing label and Sega.
āThere are no current plans for additional Marvel games to be published by Sega,ā T.Q. Jefferson told The Hollywood Reporter. Sega was behind the last two Iron Man games (Metacritic 42), Thor (39) Incredible Hulk (55), and Captain America (rebounding to a 60).
āThe biggest afflictions affecting movie-licensed games is the amount of development time and a strict adherence to retelling the story of the film in the form of a game,ā Jefferson said. Thatās probably why Marvel is looking more to Facebook and free-to-play MMOs to adapt its video games. Oh, and, Activision, too.
