Marvel`s Blade Announced

[Infinity]

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Your logic in bullet points:

• Elder Scrolls 6 is an exclusive
• Arkane is owned by Xbox
• Therefore blade is an exclusive

The problem with this (flawed) logic is that it can be easily refuted:

• The Last of Us is an exclusive
• San Diego Studio is owned by Sony
• Therefore MLB is an exclusive

None of what you said refutes what I said. In the grand scheme of things, Blade is irrelevant, and being tied to a dying brand like Xbox will only make it more irrelevant. Additionally, being commercially successful means fuck all: There are plenty of movies with tiny budgets that were commercially successful but made very little cash.

its not flawed logic. It makes perfect sense. It should be assumed to be exclusive until proven otherwise. Their is not direct evidence its not exclusive.

Blade is not irrelevant. Marvel is literally rebooting the franchise. If it was irrelevant like you claim, that would of not happened. They're also making a brand new game for Blade. Again, the movies were all successful and gained a cult like following. Blade not being a household doesn't mean irrelevant. You're wrong on both accounts.

It's flawed logic as I demonstrated. You can stick your fingers in your ears and pretend you're not listening.

Blade is not irrelevant. Marvel is literally rebooting the franchise.

Marvel has been trying to reboot Blade for a few years now, with multiple script revisions, new scripts, new directors, the whole jazz. You know why? Because it's kind of hard to make a compelling story with Blade, especially in the context of the MCU.

If it was irrelevant like you claim, that would of not happened.

It hasn't happened yet.

They're also making a brand new game for Blade.

Arkane is, not Marvel. And Marvel has a win-win scenario when licensing minor characters like this: They make money regardless, and the hit to their reputation is minimal if it flops.

Again, the movies were all successful and gained a cult like following.

Cult like following =/= relevant.

Blade not being a household doesn't mean irrelevant.

Those are not mutually exclusive. Blade is not a household name and is also irrelevant. So irrelevant that nobody can find a compelling plot and the movie has been in development hell. So Irrelevant that the main antagonist in the third movie was played by fucking Dominic Purcell.

You're wrong on both accounts.

Sure, Jan.

I liked the first two Blade movies then it kinda of went downhill after that IMO.

I really liked this cast of vampires in the bloodpack, kinda reminds me of Icon-eras mod team.

@TubzGaming is the one with the red hair, and Pearlman is @Gamernyc78 in this video.

I am of course Blade.

I already told you its a exclusive until proven otherwise. No hard evidence to support non exclusivity. Evidence favors Xbox and pc like usual. No clue how this is even a debate.

Marvel clearly sees interest in the Blade franchise hence the reboot and the new game. The reboot is happening. It's being actively worked on. Its not hard to make a compelling story for Blade or the MCU. The people in charged just couldn't do it, so they were let go...and the people there currently are working on it and things are going good.

Of course marvel is not Arkane. Water is wet. You could make that argument for any hero they license. You're not saying anything.

Yes cult like following, Reboot and new game.

No Blade is relevant for reasons already stated. You just can't comprehend.

 

[Aceman]

I have my doubts that the engagement will result in very many sales, especially if there is no Playstation version as I doubt very many people would leave Playstation for blade.

Yea that won't happen.

 

[Swift_Star]

What the hell is the purpose of this rant? Blade is an irrelevant character?? Or you just saying that because it's now a possible Xbox exclusive? Lol

The lack of platform announcement has definitely boosted the profile the game, is it working in their favor? Yes and No!

It has definitely kept the game at the forefront of gaming discourse more so than any other game announced., just look at this thread lol.

Anyone who was gonna buy a PS5 was never gonna not buy one because of Blade lol.

Either way the game is so far out, they are probably be cautious as 2027 is apparently the big year when the Xbox brand will know its fate.

Blade is irrelevant lol

There is no third Blade movie.

 

[Danja1187]

Blade is irrelevant lol

Prior to the MCU the character was one of the most popular. The character isn't irrelevant just not as popular as the ones who have gotten the spotlight over the last decade.

 

[Sircaw]

See no evil, hear no evil.

I agree.

This is more a problem with Marvel and the MCU than Blade tho. They have backed themselves into a corner and everything around them has been imploding since End Game.

Give us a Demolition Man game, that would be ace.

 

[KiryuRealty]

Give us a Demolition Man game, that would be ace.

I wish they'd release the Director's Cut of Demolition Man. That movie was obviously cut to shreds before release.

 

[AshHunter216]

Someone speculated on twitter something that doesn't seem at all likely, but interesting to think about at least. Since Sony has the movie rights for Spider-Man, is it at all feasible for them to tell Disney "Either make Blade multiplat or we pull Spider-Man out of the MCU"? Doesn't seem likely, but interesting to consider whether they have any leverage with Disney.

 

[kuzon]

It's now up on the Xbox YT channel -

 

[AshHunter216]

Probably will be, but it's funny how weird they're handling this.

He was never that popular, lol, he was second tier character.

 

[KiryuRealty]

MS marketing is VERY calculated. If they aren't definitively saying it will be exclusive, it won't be. The market position they are in doesn't really allow them to play coy about a high-profile game's exclusivity, since they need EVERY system sale they can squeeze out of an exclusive right now.

I love that the cat from Red Dwarf was one of the vampire mercs in that movie.

It's neither exclusive nor multiplat, it is a Schrodinger's Cat.

If it is exclusive, they should fire their marketing team, they should jump on it if it is exclusive.

"We're thrilled to SEE...." Now that's a bit interesting choice of word rather than using thrilled to announce. To me it comes across like Marvel approached Bethesda/Arkane more than they did with Microsoft. Ever since the announcement Marvel has yet to even utter the word Microsoft when talking about Blade.
