[Salty Popsicle]

Looks like Uncharted on crack. Especially that scene with Wolverine running from boat to boat with explosions everywhere.

 

[skyfall]

doesn't look great

 

[Represent.]

Its gonna be good, 2 playable characters confirmed.

Looks like its tight camera, violent, hopefully they nail the heaviness and add more gore/blood.

Limbs should be flying. But I dont have faith in Insomniac manning up and making a gory ass game. They seem way too kid friendly.

 

[Mister Wolf]

The Wolverine: God Of War

 

[twilo99]

They seem way too kid friendly.

Isn't that their main target audience anyway?

 

[ADiTAR]

Prob a hot take, but why two characters? feels like padding to break a boring gameplay loop.

 

[kiphalfton]

Hopefully insomniac isn't making wolverines likeness after Liam McIntyre, as he's not a particularly buff dude. And face wise looks nothing like him.

 

[M.W.]

FOV is shit-tier.

not with Wolverine, at least it shouldn't be

Probably not. Appears to be set in the SM universe and it's leading up to the X-Men game so they will want to target a wider audience.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Spider-Man: God of Wolverines

 

[GHG]

I swear to God developers need to retire fucking xray vision and come up with something more interesting/innovative for investigation scenes. If they can't then retire that mechanic.

It's in every fucking AAA game and it's so boring.

 

[tmlDan]

looks awesome, i can envision how the final product will look and im pumped. Wolverine is my fav.

#for the players*

*players means jurnos

 

[Embearded]

What is more fascinating is that some of you cannot understand this will not be the final product.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Didn't see any dismemberment. Hopefully that makes it into the final game.

Similar to Spiderman

 

[The Fuzz damn you!]

Like… smell-o-vision?

It’s a control schema that people are familiar with. Like pressing a trigger to shoot, or hiding secrets behind waterfalls. There are plenty of games out there playing around with more innovative gameplay elements - the successful experiments will get incorporated into AAA games.

 

[Spukc]

Fucking
Boring

 

[Sleepwalker]

Looks like Uncharted on crack. Especially that scene with Wolverine running from boat to boat with explosions everywhere.

Naughty dog refuses to give me Uncharted 5 so I welcome Wolverine on crack.

 

[existensmaximum]

Apart from having two playable characters (zzzzzzzzzzzz....) I think it looks incredible! I don't know what you guys are talking about, looks a lot better than I was expecting - super promising

Just because people are familiar with it, it doesn't make it good.

It's a tired mechanic, just like the ubisoft towers to uncover an area of a map is/was for open world games.

It's about time someone mixed it up and came up with something new for this.

I said the same thing in the other thread. Detective Vision is old and needs to either be cut or meaningfully evolved.

The game's budget is $390 million dollars and the gameplay looks so generic. I genuinely want to know how much of the budget goes to gameplay and how much of it is graphics and sound.

Gameplay innovation is not something that requires budget, all that's required is a bit of bravery.

 

[struggler_guts]

Got worried seeing the wall climbing animation, but then it shows him basically wall running so Im less worried

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I do hope some of you understand that leaked footage is 2022 alpha animation tests and not in any way a final gameplay, that represnets a game in any way.

 

[CGNoire]

That over the shoulder camera kills it for me.

 

[Heisenberg007]

The traversal looks fantastic and so much fun!

 

[yanhash]

doesn't look great

Yeah, almost as bad as "GTA 6 gameplay"

 

[Crayon]

Ah feels better knowing the basics of the game. Good leak.

 

[Spukc]

 

[Kurimao]

Still plenty of years to cook.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Wolverine without hairy arms?

Disgusting.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Looks ready, put it out!

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Didn't see any dismemberment. Hopefully that makes it into the final game.

 

[Justin9mm]

Can't believe people saying it doesn't look great, you obviosuly can't see the forest through the trees. Stick to playing games instead of pretnding you know about game development. You can fully tell it looks just like Spiderman movement and combat but with Wolverine. This is very early alpha footage, of course it's going to look like shit. SMH

 

[Ronin_7]

doesn't look great

What an absolute miserable post if serious lmao

I think the issue with the combat for me is that it doesn't feel like a mature wolverine, I would have preferred it to be like God of War 2018 Wolverine where limbs and blood splatter all over, going ham like Kill Bill. It feels so far tame, but that could change.

btw, do we know how all this leaked?

Unfortunately it's the only way outside of VR where you can make somebody actually investigate a scene properly in a more pleasant way that doesn't require constant zooming. Without it though it's difficult to make the player care about some barely visible scratch on the wall or broken glass on the floor or whatever. Then you get people complaining that they got stuck and the game is stupid.

 

[Banjo64]

I don’t care if I’m coming across as overly negative but this combat and movement is already sending me to sleep. Tap square to combo. Looks just like GoW, Horizon and Spider-Man.

It’s mind-numbing, Banjo. I don’t even have hope for Bluepoint and Housemarque anymore. They’re probably all working on similar templates.

[tommib]

What a shitshow. A playable build?

Can they do Retro Studios next plz?
Thanks.

Looking for a realistic answers here(so don’t list top tier Japanese action games or something with gameplay from 2+ generations ago):

What are you wanting an action adventure game starring Wolverine to play like in 2025?

It could look and play like any other third party ‘action adventure game’ instead of all of the other Sony ones for a start
