Same.
From what I saw from the leaks, I didn't like the direction Wolverine was going...with Logan obviously not healing like usual and then sections playing as ugly Jean Grey.
Especially with the fallout from Concord and some other high profile games. I think it's time for gaming companies to be far more pragmatic and customer focused.
Have they said there is no healing factor? Maybe its a story thing? Maybe for gameplay difficulty reasons? A bit of healing would be good, staying still and slowly healing etc. But accurate to character would make it too easy lol. Literally Wolverine cant be killed unless by crazy means.
My only issues are doing another Mary Jane stealth like gameplay portions. And with ugly characters that people are gonna complain about lol.
Its not needed. Im sure people can implement the story in another way. Plenty of games just have 1 playable character. We dont need to “mix it up” with super stealth moments or psychic powers.
Other than that, Insomniac normally does a good job and Spiderman Combat was just as good if not better than Arkham Knights. So I hope the semi linear level design works well. People say they are tired of open world, so here we go, whats the excuses now.
It looks violent, stabbing claws into people etc, so hopefully it is comic book violent to some extent.
To me potential wise:
Combat: I trust Insomniac, Spiderman combat is pretty good. Smooth, responsive and better than any other Spiderman game.
Story: Done by Richard Pearsey, Spec Ops the line etc. Should be decent.
Level Design: Not open world, looking forward to something different so thats good.
No MP: So Sp fans wont complain
What could go wrong?
Side character portions - My biggest concern
People complaining about DEI
Then you’ll have nitpicking/ PS Tax like: Pacing, combat, story, not enough variety, too long, too short etc. All of which games have suffered from before and scored 9+/10
I remember growing up and going to the library and there was a comic section and there was all these weird cross over comics, some of them crazy violent batman or Wolverine ones. Late 80’s, early 90’s. I know movies and game won’t represent those comics totally but I do hope one day. Would love to play an accurate Spawn or Punisher comic story from that era.
When it comes to the fallout with Concord/DEI etc. I hope its just quick, because Im tired of reading about it from either side.
DEI discussions, general PS FUD, Gaas arguments are getting so old over all the internet.
DEI/Woke a global collective agenda, even in Japan there was an influx of US politicians pushing for this stuff. US ambassador Rahm Emmanuel was one of them.
I hope vote with your wallet works, but if it would, the world would be a different place when it comes to certain things. I respect the pushback but rather hear about it in real life news protests rather then 30% of online gaming discussions being about that. But I understand its a type of pushback and needed I guess.
People also cant give honest judgement and reviews on certain aspects of a game if is goes against their political beliefs.
Just sad to see what gaming, comic, movies discussions have become.
