Jean-Francois Dugas, Senior Creative Director of Marvel: Guardians of the Galaxy
Jean-Francois Dugas, Senior Creative Director of Marvel: Guardians of the Galaxy of Eidos-Montreal, gave a few brushstrokes on the origin and history of the characters in the video game for him playstation blog. According to the account, wonder the dio carte blanche to make your own interpretation guards. With that in mind, they got down to work investigating everything he had posted in terms of comics, movies, and animated series. All this, in order to understand the essence of the characters and, from there, to re-imagine them in a “fresh and faithful” way, he adds.
As detailed by JF, in the universe they recreated a race called the The speaker they fought a galactic war 12 years before their work began. This conflict has been devastating for the galaxy and has affected the multiple races that inhabit it, including the Guardians, of course.
The The speaker, on arriving on earth, they killed the mother of a teenager Peter Quill, and kidnapped him for use as a “weapon” against his own father, I sound, king of the planet Spartax. For at least four years they keep him as a prisoner, during which time he will meet Yondu, head of the ravages. With his help, he will be able to escape, and later join the ravages and actively participate in Galactic war in order to help the resistance of Kree (the most technologically efficient blue-skinned humanoid race in the galaxy) against The speaker.
Years later, and already out of the Ravagers, he decides to train the Guardians of the Galaxy as a hero for hire. Now is the time to seek opportunities in a war-ravaged galaxy and, incidentally, to start a new life.
Galactic gameplay
Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy It’s a game in its format far from what it was Marvel avengers. We are facing an adventure of third person action single player. There will be no micro-payments and props such as costumes for our characters will be obtained by playing and unlocking them. In this sense, we note a change of course compared to the proposal of Crystal dynamics who appear to have not achieved the success they were hoping for with their style of play as a serve.
Already stuck playable material, we only drive Star lord. However, the rest of the Guardians will be present in the action and we will have to organize them in battle. they will help us overcome the obstacles in our adventure, so with Big we can build bridges, with Gamora cut things, or with Rocket sneak through small openings in search of unlocking access.

In the Milan we can interact with them, get to know them better and have fun with their particular dialogues. All of this will eventually impact your participation in battles.
The decisions
