Square Enix's Avengers

[Zorro]

What costumes/skins do you all want? I'm sure there will be many of those.

 

[Nathan]

Anything. Literally anything, so I can get rid of the default costumes right away.

 

[Kuwolski]

Bummer. This was my most anticipated game but it doesn't look like it will be for me. I may change my mind when we see actual game play, but I'm not sold on the first Avengers game having a dead Cap. At least I have MUA3 and the inevitable Insomniac Spidey sequel to look forward to. My gut tells me this will be a swing and a miss (based on little content admittedly).

Classic suits from the comics, suits from the Ultimates and off course their costumes from the MCU like PS4 did for Spider-Man (Featuring the Homecoming Stark advance suit and Iron Spider from Avengers Infinity War)

I think it's fairly obvious he's not dead. I mean, what's the point of the first avengers game and you cant play as Cap? That'd be like Superman being dead for the first Justice league movie lol....wait.

Crap trailer. Everything looks incredibly cheap. But it's Square Enix so I'm not gonna lose my hope. They've made some of the best games I'v played in years.

This doesnt look like it'll reach Arkham Series' and PS4 Spider-Man's height. But we'll see.

PS: Haven't player Spider-Man but everything from that game looks perfect

I am watching the conference right now listing to them talk after the trailer and yeah it dont look good. The system they came up with for the hero's dont look good and graphics wise it dont look like a ps4/xbox one game at all looks more like ps3/xbox 360 or something and voices seem off to.

I'm just disappointed by how much I wasn't blown away by this and that a part of me feels like writing this game off already. A friggin Avengers game and I'm less hyped now then I was before the conference. There really isn't an excuse for that after Insomniac's Spider-Man. That set the bar and this looks to have fallen woefully short imho. I'm conflicted about how to approach this game without more story info or game play.. Hopefully we get a much clearer picture tomorrow, but this game should have been a slam dunk with the studios involved.

 

[Zorro]

The game is a year away. It can still be a slam dunk and so it's okay if it's just a lay up right now

 

[Nathan]

It really was a mistake not to focus on the gameplay. They introduce an open world (I assume) 4 player co-op game, and show nothing of the gameplay and required team work aspect.

It depends on how good the gameplay actually is.

People were blown away by Spider-Man PS4 right from the beginning, the gameplay footage in 2017 just added to the hype. Hopefully the gameplay reports are amazing for this game. The story looks like it could be really interesting and emotional and I love the talent they've assembled to voice the Avengers, but other then that this doesn't look anywhere near as good as I expected.

 

[Iceman]

The character designs are ugly and the cut scenes feel seriously cheesy. Like a bad effort to emulate Avengers 1.

Rosemann seems happy enough. I guess he wasn't going for a AAA game experience this time around. Go figure.

They said they wanted to make the game of the year... in a year with Cyberpunk, FFVII Remake, and probably The Last of Us 2.

I get the wanting for corporate synergy but let the movies be the movies, I don't want the cartoons doing things the movies do or looking like the movies, I don't want the comics making them wear more realistic movie-like costumes, I don't want the game looking or acting like the movies. I think it only takes away from the effort they otherwise seem to be trying to make it its own thing.

I know, I feel like Rosemann and Crystal are trolling at this point. Based on the presentation it's a definite front runner for Disappointment of the Year.

The issue seems to be that they want it both ways. They want it to look like the movies, but not exactly. So they don't have to pay the actors.

Bill has said he let's the developers do their own interpretation. It's clear that Insomniac and Spider-Man were absolutely made for one another and it resulted in critical acclaim and the best selling PS4 exclusive..So that mission statement sounds good when it works out. Here it feels like Crystal did try to play with one foot in the MCU and were scared or lacked the imagination to make this wholly their own. I may be wrong once more story and gameplay is revealed, but a lot of this presentation was soul-crushing banality.

 

[Zorro]

Hopefully Game Informer or somebody does a big preview coverage article soon with some extra details

 

[Nathan]

They need to show gameplay fast, because right now it dropped off my buy list. I need to know how important team work is in this. If it's just a prettier MUA, where team work doesn't matter and the objective is just "Smash all", then they massively dropped the ball.

 

[Mandon Knight]

Just watched trailer for the first time. I am factoring in I've been spoilt playing and hoovering up Spider-Man PS4 and I know no other game for me, will ever reach those levels but that was underwhelming , at best. Like a PS3 level quality at most and looked like it had been 'bundled' together, just messy and as people are saying the format looks like it was set for the 2012 release of the game (I appreciate they wanted classic roster to mirror the base start and build from there with characters etc. BUT even they look 'off', voice work sounds lazy and it looks 'generic' at this stage). Shame, we'll see what happens with it.

 

[Silvermoth]

I’m keen, I love the idea of playing as iron man in space. It’s interesting people seem to be going off about the graphics. How random it would be if people ended up liking marvel ultimate alliance 3!

I hope they add Wanda though. She’s amazing

 

[eon001]

Alot of people not feeling the graphics. Personally it doesn't matter to me. I'm a gameplay over graphics guy anyway, and I trust Square with this. I'm pumped,

 

[Nathan]

If we talk pure astethics, this looked worse than MUA2 to me. Especially Thor. Heck, even the cartoony MUA3 version looks worlds better.
