Square Enix's Avengers

[Nathan]

They even had a 25 minute showcase panel. Guess what? Still no gameplay.

I didn't bother listening to it. But if anyone else cares about listening to people talking 25 minutes about a game they simply refuse to show, here you go.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I wonder if the gameplay might give away whatever microtransactions are prepared. Or it's still heavily in development, which is no bueno at this point from release.

 

[The Endless]

Looks **** tbh.

 

[Broseph44]

I’m more excited for Ultimate Alliance 3

I have seen talk about how it looks like it is an older build, which is a bit concerning and definitely would be why they aren't showing it publicly. It also seems to be levels where you are locked into a certain character, which really throws off their narrative of being who you want to be.

Early impression of the game behind the scenes.

We Saw 25 Minutes Of Avengers Gameplay – Here's What You Need To Know

thanks for the find

Having a look around the net, I think it's fairly safe to say that the overall consensus is disappointment.

This is a game that releases two months after the FFVII Remake. There really is no excuse for it looking the way it does and that we still don't know how it plays. People wanted to get hyped for the Avengers game, instead the majority of players seem to be wary of it. Crystal Dynamics completely and utterly failed to sell their game. Then again, do they even have a working game to sell?

they've likely embargoed this to the lot of the games media cause they want to put out the game play them selves . it's clear this is anearly build , and studio just mentioned to victor lucas they add a good number of their studio's to work on this . over 5 and closer to 10. if the other gamer newssites like say Easy allies or the eletric playground put out game play it'll be some time after that. it'll probably look better then it did by then. but we'll see

I think it's fair to criticize that there wasn't any gameplay footage, so it's questionable to me that less than a year from release that they don't have some sort of gameplay example.

Having said that, I love the in engine footage that was shown. I love the premise, I loved the character design, I love the fact that this is not a rehash of the MCU. These characters have existed for decades with different style story telling, some good some bad, but the world has really come to know the Avengers from the movies, so I think it's great to give young people an experience that is outside that, as most people don't really read the comics anymore.

Yes there's a lot that really leans on the movies, the character design is very MCU 'esque but enough differences to make it unique, except for perhaps Banner that was pretty much straight lifted from the MCU. Yes the team is the original MCU Avengers sans Hawkeye, but I liked the way it was presented.

I think the voice cast, from the ones I know is excellent. Nolan North is well known for his work on Assasin's Creed and Uncharted. It looks like a lot of thought and time when into the creation and story telling in this game. Will it work out? That remains to be seen, but I like what I've seen so far.

I got a very important video interview from EPN.tv (aka the electric playground important points they said capt's is similar to spiderman ps4 game in that there was a spicific reason it was made. and lastly the number studio's working on this.

Also you can see the heroes costume have been put up in display on the E3 show's Floor and the other important fact is there are indeed more playable avengers

coming yeah ant man hawk eye the works . last Each character that's playable will have their own stories told and some part's game play wise like tomb raider will be liner while otyher may be open up.

Outside of Hulk these character designs look absolutely nothing like the MCU

 

[Nathan]

Easy Allies taking over the job of selling the game, because Crystal Dynamics is obviously unable to.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

They totally do. That is why all the knock off jokes are being made.

 

[Zorro]

Zenith, you're the best!

These look about as close to the MCU designs as the 70's Cap and Thor outfits do

 

[HexualCirce]

I really don't see how they look like the MCU. Other than the fact that they are both based off of the same comic book characters.

Edit: Now don't get me wrong. I am not a fan of their costumes. However all of that is completely customizable sooooo.........

 

[Travesty]

I honestly have no idea where you're getting this from, and how you're coming to this comparison. It's so off, that I don't even know how to approach this?

They look almost exactly like the MCU, except they have different faces: that's it. The costume design is nearly identical. Sure, there may be some minor differences here and there, but overall, it's the same. It's like looking at the B89 Batsuit and the Forever/Panther Batsuit. Sure, they're different suits, but they're still the same overall design(ie. sculpted black rubber, yellow oval, etc). Compare those Batuits to the comics, cartoons or videogames, and you see a real night and day difference, but overall, the B89 and Forever suits are nearly the same thing.

Last part goes into customization details

The game definitely took some inspiration from the MCU, but it certainly doesn't look exactly like it, well, except for Banner's wardrobe. I think the 3 Avengers that are clearly MCU inspired are Banner, Ironman and Black Widow. Though I'm uncertain about Widow, I mean how different can you make a black body suit look?

Banner is a blatant rip off of Mark Ruffalo's Banner in the first Avengers Movie, but without his likeness. Ironman's armor has a striking resemblance to the Mark XLIII armor from Age of Ultron, but slightly altered to look different, and somehow worse.

The only two that look completely different from their MCU counterparts are Cap and Thor. Cap's entire outfit is unfortunately too bulky and busy, and Thor... honestly I have no idea what the hell they did to Thor, or what blind person approved his design. Thor looks like a 3D stock model, the costume doesn't mesh with the rest of the Avengers at all, and he's got dinner plates stuck to his chest.

The whole problem is that they didn't distance themselves enough from the MCU. They want to do their own thing, yet still take inspiration from the MCU, but made their designs look different enough, so it's not a 1:1 copy of the MCU. As a result, most of the designs look off, because you can clearly tell what was inspired by the MCU, but the game is not supposed to be the MCU.

Overall, a horrendous combination of the worst of each possible scenario lol. It's not just that it doesn't look good. It looks aggressively bad and makes me want to look away from the screen. I'm going to struggle to look at this Thor for a whole game. Hopefully the likes of Strange, CM and BP look much better.

So it open world but in hubs.

Well I'm in the same exact boat, just on the opposite side

I have no clue how anyone could look at these costumes and think they even remotely resemble the Movie costumes. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because its so far off it's laughable. Between fit and texture and their silhouettes and just every single element of these costumes looks like something somebody slapped together using pieces of other costumes from party city. If you honestly think they're nearly identical, all I can say is I'm extremely glad you're not a costume designer for the MCU

Look at those two shots and tell me- with a straight face- that these two costumes look alike
And Thor's is even worse

 

[Zorro]

Not nearly identical but they are obviously inspired. I haven't seen Cap with that style of outfit in the comics and his hair is usually more blond.

Thor's outfit is definetly inspired by Thor early in the mcu

Yeah, nobody is saying they're identical to each other, the point, is saying the overall aesthetic tone is the same. That costume doesn't look like something from the comics, it looks like a redesign of an MCU suit: that's the point. You made a claim that said it doesn't even resemble the MCU, in the same way the 70s suit is different from the MCU.

I have no idea how you're even coming close to these conclusions? This is so far off base, that's it's laughable.

 

[BoredGuy]

I don't see that
his Thor 1 and A1 outfit had the scale mail arms, a midsection with small-ish discs and a lot of linework, and his cape was the classic comic cape that attaches under the top discs
this is some Roman looking thing with little cloth sleeves, giant discs and a scarf-cape

mmk, whatever you say
maybe if they had a 3 year old redesign the MCU suits

and for the record, your first post responding to me said "they look almost identical to the MCU" which is just objectively wrong
but maybe you were exaggerating, as I was in referencing the 70's TV costumes

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I don't agree that thor looks inspired by the mcu outfi . No chain mail sleeves, more gold and silver accents. Leather and Norse markings. It's pretty different than any iteration of mcu thor.

Iron man looks reminiscent of post iron man 3 armor. Black widow and Bruce look like their mcu counterparts. What they really copied were the gestures and movements. Hulk stands and moves just like avengers 1 hulk. Iron man does a move straight outta iron man 2. Banner stands around nervously fiddling with his hands like Ruffalo did. But yeah the faces suck.

 

[Kuwolski]

Although Banner is pretty on the nose from the first Avengers, the costume designs aren't the same, but they certainly share the same color palettes of the MCU versions. The inspiration feels much more MCU then comics.
