Do you guys think the Wolverine game will look like Spider-Man's? In terms of graphic fidelity, character appearance, size of the characters, art direction, etc?

They are superheroes, fictional people with superpowers. Their costumes don't need to make to make sense. Unlike in religious books nobody is pretending that these fictional characters with superpowers are real.

I mean, Wolverine is a guy with metal covered bones, extensible claws, expanded senses that autoheals superfast who is part of a superhero team with people who flies and do other weird things. Compared to that, wearing underwear on the outside of a yellow and blue costume is a reasonable and realistic thing.

That typical yellow thing looks hilarously bad especially if they go anywhere near a realistic world. It does not look unrealistic per se, which I did not really imply, impratical was the point, but it just does not look good. Just because the rest is fantasy does not automatically allow for a pajama style clothing to look cool nowadays. Anyone wearing full body spandex looks like belonging to a mental institute. There is a reason almost all movies tried to stay away from some original designs as far as possible. A drawn figure get's away with it better, since no comic really goes to realistic visuals at all, and simple contrasting colors are more important, but transfering the very same thing into real cinema and or realistic CGI and it immediately looks awful. Star Trek also get's away with it, because it is supposed to be regular, simple, unspectacular clothing. Superheroes should wear better stuff though.

I really need to go back and play the other Wolverine game. I remember liking it. I think I played it on either the PS2, Xbox or Xbox 360.

 

[Schmendrick]

With the path Insomniac is currently on we`ll probably get something like this.

 

[saintjules]

Haha. Well I guess the overall art style and the way the characters look is what I meant verus just fidelity and framerate.

When looking at SM2, there's some quality improvements, but as far as new-gen goes, how would a Wolverine game look?

It's a Marvel superhero videogame adaptation of an iconic character, it shouldn't be realistic. It should be a good adaptation, which means that there will be people with superpowers and bright colored pajama costumes with the underwear on top because it's one of the iconic things of this universe and this character.

To remove the pajama costumes would be like to make a Mario Bros adaptation removing his red and blue clothes and his moustache.

He had a superhero costume before joining the X-Men, in his first appearance (Hulk #188, 1974):

Later in the comics they explained pre X-Men stuff where he had the Weapon-X costume when being experimented on -as I remember is when he got his adamantium bones- and soon after did cover ops (with another costume) in a weapon X team called X-Team where he had other team members as Sabertooth, Omega Red or Deadpool before becoming enemies.

Earth 1048 isn't gonna follow any of this. I am not really sure what the story for this game is gonna be, but if it isn't some classic superhero thing where he is part of a team or protecting his hidden identity then I don't know why he would have a costume.

 

[Topfuel]

Grant Morrison costume.

 

[Bigfroth]

I don't think anybody needs to worry about suits in this game, like the spider men's games Logan will probably have 100 suits to choose from lol.

 

[Polelock]

Wtf is that...

I assume they'll do as they did with Spider-Man: to tell in their own way the origins of the hero merging the story from many comics adding a few tweaks and twists on their own, like adding woke stuff.

I bet the first game will be set in his pre X-Men era: origins, Weapon-X, X-Team, Madripur etc. They could even multiple games in that era, there's a lot of rich stuff there.

I assume that at the end of this game, or let's say trilogy, he may join the X-Men. And like in the Wolverine comics, they may continue making more Wolverine solo adventures while he is part of X-Men.

I think we'll see X-Men members and enemies as cameos or secondary NPCs in the Wolverine games, but I think it won't be an X-Men game.

I think that at a certain point they'll move from Wolverine games to X-Men games. And I think they'll do it pretty soon, maybe doing an X-Men game after the Wolverine game instead of making Wolverine 2 because Sony and Insomniac seem to have issues with white heterosexual male protagonist and they replace them as soon as they can.

If there's a Wolverine 2 game probably the main character may be X-23 instead of Logan unless Insomniac makes Logan non-white, gay, trans or something like that.

Wtf is that...

I think it was Wolverine and Hercules kissing in a comic from 10 years ago set in an alternate universe. I stopped reading comics in the late '90s, so I may be wrong.

 

[March Climber]

The Evolution cartoons were so damn fire, a shame it ended where it did.

It simply came out at the wrong time. Late 90s X-men cartoon fans weren’t ready for such a huge shift, and by the time people started to like the show, it was too late. Spectacular Spider-Man and Xmen Evolution had to work their way up an impossible mountain of getting those audiences to like both shows.

 

[German Hops]

The yellow/braun combo is unbeatable.

 

[March Climber]

I don't think giving him a superhero costume makes sense until/unless he links up with the X-Men.

…which is why these would be unlockable outfits.

 

[Putonahappyface]

 

[rofif]

This will do

I thought this movie was amazing when I saw it.
I just noticed the poster…. Oh yeah there was a stupid little girl there. Maybe the movie was not as good as I remember ;p

I have a feeling insomniac is for sure going to put some weapon x shit in it. maybe flashbacks or something.

Still can't wait but I am likely going to be let down with the game I get compared to the game I want

 

[StreetsofBeige]

They got to do the classic yellow one.

 

[bender]

Birthday Suit.

 

[mitch1971]

WolverQueen.

 

[ripjoel]

That 2021 trailer is teasing wolverine... but the twist is... you play as black/latinx trans lesbian hunting down Logan.

 

[FoxMcChief]

WolverQueen.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

The wolverine Miles suit in Spiderman 2 was really cool. Makes me want the classic yellow one.

 

[phil_t98]

All of them!!

 

[T0minator]

This one was one of my favorites as a kid. I'd think the suit when Wolverine joined the Fantastic 4 with Spider-Man will be in it, since Spider-Man has his in the game now.

Seems like the future of Insomniacs universe can go in some many different directions

Don’t go into games with such strong expectations, as it poisons the well of having fun because you’re constantly looking for things to critique rather than enjoy.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Go Blue, Bitches.

 

[DavidGzz]

A hairy buff female Wolverine would be hnnnng

 

[clintar]

It's gonna be Miles Morales at some point anyway.

 

[existensmaximum]

/thread

This is what he should look like. My gut feeling is that he will probably look like Hugh Jackman in the movies though.

 

[Northeastmonk]

LJN Wolverine. My favorite is his black and yellow, but I always liked his brown costume.

 

[FeralEcho]

That's the default suit probably

Edit: The Orange and Black one is his best but as other users have said,the game will have plenty of suits anyway.

 

[Orbital2060]

Im too old for this shit.

 

[radewagon]

It's Insomniac, we'll have, like, all of them.

Also really hoping they see this thread and make sure to add the LGBTQ+ ones that you guys are proposing. It's clear that Wolverine, a member of the X-men, a comic that pretty openly sets itself up as an allegory for addressing real-world prejudice, would be a clear champion of marginalized groups. Rainbow Logan unapologetically will be my go-to costume pick.
