This isn't comic, nor even movie(s) canon. They've created their own universe by moving things around, so while a certain character may exist their entire history can be different.

Damn, come home from work and my YT feed is full of people crashing out over this game.

I haven't watched any of the videos, but they are coming from all across the spectrum.

Anyone else seeing this?

Did it release today or something?

It might be more indicative of your you tube subs, but I've seen nothing but positive pub. Let me guess, Angry Joe is... angry?

possibly

But this is coming from all directions. I don't follow any political guys or culture warriors for games. Will go through some of the vids later

I haven't cared about Angry Joe since his culture war nonsense started

Last I heard he was calling out people for saying Supergirl was going to be bad, as being super bigots or some such. . .then made a video begging people to go see it.

It was super wierd.



Never bothered to see if he had to eat crow over that disastrous failure

ETA: First couple seem to agree that gameplay is "one-button, run forward" style of linear . . .still loaded with "yellow paint" type of handholding

Every "Sony" game is exactly the same at this point.

Third person over the shoulder camera
Action/Adventure genre
As much or more movie than game, lotta painfully slow "story" moments where we learn about the protagonists past and demons, blah blah
Lotta forced walking/talking segments with NPC's
Almost all the development time spent on animations, voice acting, motion capture, story
Extremely hand holdy, constantly telling you where to go and what to do at all times
All the "big" set pieces are completely on rails, bombastic over the top presentation sizzle with almost no real gameplay
Couple "hide in the grass" stealth sections

This type of game isn't by default bad exactly, it brought a new type of experience to the table when it was fresh, but it's just extremely tired at this point. People talk about soulslike fatigue frequently these days, but my fatigue is this Sony studio template.

As best I could tell most people were clowning on this ridiculously awful "chase" sequence which was basically quintessential fake gameplay.

I just read that the rumors are true, Sweet Baby definitely involved in the game

I cancelled my preorder

Will wait for post launch reviews and WoM before I take the plunge

And that was the case nearly 10 years ago.

They’re called MOOVIE games.

You walk slowly while characters talk about feelings.
Then you watch cutscene and get excited for next cutscene.
Don’t forget to press R2 to continue cutscene.

The genre existed for a bit before The Last of Us, but the success of that game is where the genre mutated into the MOOVIE game virus that has plagued gaming ever since.

This game looks like the spiderman games just with added gore. Im not huge on those type of games but spiderman was still fun to play because webslinging through the city as well as using webs against enemies is actually fun.

If i wanted to hack people apart with button combos id probably just play god of war 2018 for the 4th time over this.

Looks incredibly repetitive and boring. Also love the gratuitous blood that just magically cleans as he walks.

If you've ever read a Wolvie comic (solo title). Most of his stories are some combo of subterfuge/grizzled detective/hunting-stalking. . .sometimes they are straight up horror stories.

Madripoor Wolverine was peak

He only loses his complexity when he is jn a team-up or a team title. Then he becomes single-note, single-purpose.

After seeing the Sentinel boss fight compared to the Sentinel fight from 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", I think they just took a generic GoW game and skinned it with Marvel.

would be cool.

His gritty supernatural horror stuff is great, too. Because it takes him completely out of his wheelhouse

I imagine it will be pretty

AC:Shadows was pretty

Veilguard was beautiful

My concern is the writing. The writers room for this game is one kinda decent guy and a bunch of truly, very bad writers. . .including the lead and narrative director.

Gameplay so far looks like a generic GoW game reskinned with Wolvie.

If you are going to reskin an action game for Logan, they shoulda done Nier or DMC. Would better suit

This is essentially what Psylocke looks like in the comics



This is the live action version as per Olivia Munn



Insomniac's take



When you've lost uber-cuck Paul Tassi you can't even see the plot from how far you lost it.

Man that is a horrendous representation of Psylocke. Reminds me of how Netherrealm butchered all their female characters in MK1.
