Eidos Montreal picked Guardians of the Galaxy to adapt into♛ a video g𓂃ame because of an "underdog" mentality.

Speaking on Insomniac CEO Ted Price's podcast (via ), Eidos Montreal's Jean-François Dugas and Mary DeMarle discussed how the studio landed on adapting Marvel's ragtag crew into a video game. "I know [David Anfossi, head of studio] was pursuing that dream of working with a big partner like Marvel and everything, and eventually he approached us, and Mary, myself, and a few other people and said we have a ch𒁃ance to collaborate with Marvel," said Dugas.

The senior creative director went on to say that Anfossi asked himself and DeMarle what Marvel-owned property they'd like to develop, and they all landed on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy. "We felt that Guardians of the Galaxy was a tea🍌m of underdogs that was fitting our🍨 personality, fitting our studio in some ways," Dugas explained of the decision.

This is because, as Dugas explained, Eidos Montreal feel like a team of underdogs, just like the Guardians of the Galaxy. Dugas says the studio felt like it was constantly being written off, and peop🍒le didn't expect them to make a good Deus Ex game, or a good Guardians of the Galaxy game. This all fed into an underdog mentality within the development team, and as such they selected Guardi꧑ans of the Galaxy to adapt.

As it turned out, Eidos Montreal didn't just put out a good Deus Ex game, but a great Guardians of the Galaxy game. We awarded Eidos Montreal's latest effort four stars, writing in our full 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy review that the new game might even be better than the film adaptationsꦰ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
