Villains

The list of villains includes Havok (comics), who normally is a hero on the X-Men and recently Uncanny Avengers. I haven't seen him in the game and I don't see any proof he is a bad guy. The villain list may be incomplete, some bad guys are rare.Frmorrison (talk) 19:35, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Browser based?

Can anybody clear up where that information came from? Thanks. 24.42.224.102 (talk) 15:58, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps someone was thinking of the browser-based game on Facebook called Marvel: Avengers Alliance that came out in 2012. This game has always been a normal Windows game.Frmorrison (talk) 14:44, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But since the addition of "unsourced" (read: sourced using YouTube) videos is traditionally frowned upon, particularly by anons, would someone be willing to make note of these on the appropriate character and actor articles in my stead? (Or, at the very least, confirm whether a video of the in-game credits is sufficient sourcing?) -- 69.14.66.237 (talk) 02:56, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:GAMEGUIDE, generally speaking, a list of the actors providing voices for video game characters is not appropriate for this article. If those actors have a Wikipedia page, I think you could mention their voice work for this game and source the YouTube video, assuming it came from one of the official channels of Marvel, may be acceptable as primary source if their authenticity can be confirmed, or as a secondary source if they can be trace to a reliable publisher. The worry is the video could be changed or it is copyrighted material that should not be uploaded.Frmorrison (talk) 19:35, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I'm saying. I'm not looking to make a list on this page; I'm looking to add all the actors to the character pages, and all the character credits to the actor pages, but I needed help finding a citation that wasn't just video of the credits on YouTube. -- 69.14.66.237 (talk) 03:12, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article Split

I'm fairly sure Marvel Universe Online and Marvel Heroes are completely different games - MVO eventually became Champions Online, a full 3D downloadable game. Marvel Heroes is a browser-based Diablo game. I think these need two separate pages. Grill (talk) 18:43, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 I believe they are the same game, the title has changed a few times.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by UAVercingatorix7 (talk • contribs) 01:54, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Marvel Heroes is not the same game as Marvel Universe Online

The whole section claiming Marvel Heroes is the same game as Marvel Universe Online needs to be removed.

They are not the same game.

Marvel Universe Online went on to become Champions Online.

Marvel Heroes is a completely different game from a completely different development company.

Character list

The recent addition of a character list is inappropriate per #6 of WP:GAMECRUFT. WP:GAMECRUFT says:

"Lists of characters lacking secondary sourcing: Following from the above, excessive in-game details on characters is strongly discouraged. Standalone lists of video game characters are expected to be (1) written in an out-of-universe style with a focus on their concept, creation, and reception, and (2) cited by independent, secondary sources to verify this information. While character lists can include some plot summary specific to the character, these plots should not be rehashes of the video game(s) in which they appear but instead broad strokes that simplify the plots of individual games. If these requirements cannot be met, it is instead more appropriate to reduce the list to one to three paragraphs of prose within the "Plot" or "Synopsis" section of the game or series article. It is almost never appropriate to create a standalone list of characters that appear within a single video game as these can be described in the game's article."

There's no "focus on their concept, creation, and reception", and the source is a youtube video which is not appropriate per WP:SPS. The long and short of it is that this information is simply information for the sake of information, with nothing to show how or why it's relevant in the larger scope of the article. By the way, you can see a similar list of voice actors being deemed inappropriate per the same guideline in the entry further up the page, oddly enough also using a youtube video as a source. Eik Corell (talk) 16:15, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think showing the characters is relevant to larger scope of the article because this game relies on the concept of character crossover. So it would be important to showcase and present this and differiated it to other games. But that's just me.

The bottomline is the rule is very vague and can be subjected to different intepretation.

Honestly, I do not see any problem with this. I do not see any "excessive" detail both in information and formatting. It is a very straight forward enumeration. I do not see adding this would be detrimental to the aticle as a whole.

Unless you have something else going on personally, I do not see a lot of people woulb be bother by this at all. In fact I think, the effect is the opposite. I can see a lot of people would be curious to know who has been playable on this already closed game. Since tha game is no longer accesible. Which is both helpful and informative.

Again, I believe the current format recent addition is not "excessive" by any means of strech of the imagination.
