Two weeks ago, gaming journalist Jack Byron (aka the Big ByBy) from GamerUnitedUK met @Asros during his holidays. While they mostly drank with beautiful girls in bikini, Big ByBy was able to get some informations about the future of Marvel Heroes. Being himself a great Colossus player, he wanted to know what Gazillion as in store for Marvel Heroes.
The biggest news is the partnership with Microsoft starting early 2017! Why? Because we will have a specific version of Cortana ingame! It'll be called Jocasta 2.0, and will let players tell simple commands to the game via a microphone.
@Asros said:
_ "We're pretty excited with this partnership with Microsoft. The Jocasta 2.0 feature will be a huge improvement for the game."
_ "How does that work?"
_ "Simple. You enable Jocasta 2.0 in the options menu and then you simply have to say key words. For example, say "heal!" and your hero will use a medkit. Say "bodyslide" and your hero will teleport."
_ "Does it work with powers?"
_ "Yes, of course. Key words like "signature" or "ultimate" will make your hero use those powers. You can even configure Jocasta 2.0 to use specific power for specific word. For example, you link the word "space" with Hulk's Meteor Strike, and he will use it when you say "space".
_ "That's incredible."
_ "There's a few more functions with Jocasta. Say "pick unique" and your hero will pick the nearest unique on the ground. Say "dance" and your hero will dance. Yes, there will be all new dance animations for all the heroes!"
_ "And when can we hope to see this ingame?"
_ "Soon™ of course. Early 2017 we hopes, right after Nighcrawler's QoL."
I'm pretty hyped with Jocasta 2.0, even if I know that my wife will be mad when I'll scream "Lasagna!" "Pizza!" "Pikachu!" "Basic Basic Basic Basic Basic Basic Basic!" :P
