Long before Insomniac Games'
Marvel's Spider-Man, Raven Software's
X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and
Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, there was a dark time when some Marvel fans felt completely abandoned by the American publisher with only one shining beacon of hope – the
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance series.
In a recent interview with the Game Informer crew, Lead Designer Keith Fuller, Gameplay Programmer Aaron San Fillippo, and Tech Programmer Allison Salmon revealed brand-new details on the complex creative process behind the making of Raven Software's critically acclaimed video game from 2006.
