UDE,
there is a rumor being thrown around the Vs Community via a random and unreliable source that you have recently sold the Vs Engine to another company. It's probably a long shot but can you guys confirm or deny this?
Thank you for your time,
Kj

later,
Kj

Don't think anything would be concrete. We can all dream, but UDE (and actually its parent company) are desperate enough to sell off any assets; Upper Deck is facing bankruptcy after losing all its major licenses because of contract loss and fraud. Most of the old UDE crew do work for
Crypto, and TAWC play the game, so it's not impossible. But even if they buy the engine, who knows if it doesn't get shelved, or if it would come back as VS (with both Marvel and DC licenses). Of course, I am now a game fan first; I'd happily play the game a la WOW with non-licensed characters (or even with characters that are not Superheroes); I'm probably minority there though.

I think Crypto or Neca would make the most sense.

The guys who bought the spoils.

Do any of these possible purchasers actually have the capital to put out the VS product at the level that it was ?
If no, how high a level could they produce the game, so many factors
distribution - (world wide?)
quantity - (will we be fighting for scraps like with DCL for example)
licences - (DC, Marvel, other)
R&D - ( the last set was not completely fleshed out and is a little broken)
This is not a simple game to just slap a few pictures on cards and say have at it.
I want it back don't get me wrong, but I want it to be a step forward, because if it is a step backwards and is not received well it may never get another chance.

In other news I cracked a pack of GL this morning and I got a Sinestro which made me grin ( completely unrelated..but true :)

UDE actually responded to me with a simple one line -

Totally untrue.

Well that clinches it for me, they sold it and VS will be on the shelves any day now.

When UDE has the truth to tell they keep their mouth shut and when they want to lie they can't keep their mouths shut.

yay the return of vs.

I dont need a Marvel/DC license to play Vs System... if a random game came out with identical gameplay to Vs System Id play it and it wouldnt matter to me who was on the cards. Assuming that game had Organized Play set up of course...

Your wife is awesome!

Well obviously if UDE did let the engine go, they aren't going to share it with the public, atleast not yet..

They still have Infinite Crisis at $13 a box. If all you are looking for is a few hours of Draft and Sealed fun that is one hell of a deal since Infinite Crisis is a very fun set to draft or seal.

UGH, not Infinite Crisis. When I first toiled with the thought of travelling to various high level events for VS, IC was the set that was out. I played A LOT of crisis that summer.
