The first game under the new agreement is targeted for a 2005 release date. According to a release issued jointly by Marvel and Vivendi, the deal provides VU Games with access to the entire library of Marvel characters, as well as its worldwide fan base – a large percentage of which comprise the same demographic as the core gaming audience. Additionally, VU Games has obtained the rights to release titles in multiple languages across all existing and future platforms enabling OLMMP game play, including PCs and console-based systems.OLMMP games, which allow thousands of players to interact online simultaneously, represent a key area of growth for the multi-billion dollar video game industry. Marvel and VU Games will share in revenues generated by subscription fees, product sales and in-game advertising.For the rest of the article, go here:<a href="http://161.58.84.234/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000159" target="_blank">http://161.58.84.234/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000159</a>Daredevil is mine!
