Thanks to Newsarama for the following information which was taken from their live report at the New York Comic Con!

Iron Man 2

The panel acknowledged the Iron Man games "weren't very good" and they're working hard to buck that trend with Cap and Thor.

Captain America: Super Soldier

Captain America: Super Soldier was shown with a new trailer. The game features Cap exploring a huge military complex housing Red Skull and his army. A huge pop for the trailer.

"Combat was the focus" when they started making the game. The Shield is used for close range and long range offense and defense. You can even deflect bullets back at opponents with it. The shield in Captain America will be used to interact with the environment.

Christos Gage, writer of the game, mentions this Cap is younger, and "on his way to becoming that living legend."

He promised villains galore, mentioned that there are other guest stars, too, including another hero and a guest star who is "neither hero nor villain."

"There will be ally characters" but Cap is the only playable for the game.


Thor

A trailer for Thor teasing the game was shown next.

Surtur, Ulik, Ymir, and more plus all 9 worlds are promised for the Thor game, which takes place in the movie universe but stands alone.

ShieldSmack: Thanks man! :) However, I remember them saying that they'd make sure Iron Man 2 would be better than the first one and it ended up being an 8 hour waste of space, lol! Here's hoping they get these right!

@Josh: Iron Man 2's game was at least somewhat better than Iron Man 1's game lol. In my opinion the only thing I like about Iron 1 was that you could 'tell' your armor where to route it's power too, which made me feel in control, whereas the rest of the game sucked lol Iron Man's 2 best 'quality' was Sam Jackson and Don Cheadle actually doing their voices in the game lol. And don't get me started on Robert Downey JR's voice impersonator that SUCKED!!! in Iron man 2's game lol

Damn Josh Iron Man 2 only took me four hours to beat, I could strangle those f**ks at Sega for such a shit game. Iron Man 1 was a way better and a longer game, the only thing cool about 2 was War Machine. The flight controls were sloppy, as was the whole damn game. They better not f**k Thor up, I wish Epic Games would take over the Marvel titles.

MUST SEE INTERVIEW ABOUT THE GAME!


Developer says the game is stand alone in this interview, it also features some new info regarding where the game is actually at in development, its Pre-Alpha, and in very very early stages of even that.


Looks pretty darn good for long and away from Alpha. They still have thousands of animations to add witch is why it looks a little static he says. He mentions enemies will be much less static as well and that there positioning is just for demo purposes as they're so early in development.

No offense, but this is almost exactly what they said while they were making the Iron Man 2 game. They said they knew the first wasn't good, and that they'd fix all the problems and make the next one better.
