They seem awfully nervous about this if they're being this stingy with gameplay footage.
I was but a child when this thing was announced. Just show us the damn game already.

I am getting the same feeling, as if they are unsure about the quality for this kind of game.
This is something I've been curious about, Square Enix (especially the western side) are known over react and micro mange their studios because of what's happening in the rest of the gaming world, we saw this with the beginning of this gen when they deemed the PS4 and Xbox One likely failures due to the WiiU not succeeding and how several studios complained about their behaviour.Just reveal the damn game already, Square. All these stupid behind-closed-doors demos don't speak to a team that's confident about their project.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I had just come home from my first day of kindergarten, and my mother welcomed me with a warm hug and a bowl of Cookie Crisp. I sat in front of our old JVC TV, ready to watch the newest episode of Power Rangers, when she told me the news. "Squenix is making an Avengers game," she said. That's when the avalanche hit, and my life changed forever.

I just can't see how developers are planning to deliver amazing "cinematic action adventure" with at least 3 completely different gameplay systems (cap/widow, tony/Thor, hulk), while making sure everyone will be fun to play in coop. Apparently that scene with flying iron man is scripted on rails sequence, not something player can do himself. Sounds like core gameplay is on foot, like ultimate alliance with high production values, deeper combat system and less characters, while single player has "superhero" moments in form of QTE's and scripted sequences.
If you're not ready to show the public, don't announce it. This is so stupid
Every story/main mission is scripted with you play as. You can only choose heroes and play co-op only in side missions (and I think in free roam, but I'm not sure on that one). So I think it won't be that hard to craft each main/story mission to suit it your playable hero.I just can't see how developers are planning to deliver amazing "cinematic action adventure" with at least 3 completely different gameplay systems (cap/widow, tony/Thor, hulk), while making sure everyone will be fun to play in coop.

To be fair, we've already seen some gameplay of CP2077 and the trailers have been good. The same can't be said about this game, that first trailer was some serious hype killer.Interesting that this is getting so much negative reaction when CDPR did the same thing with CP2077 (two years in a row now) and yet didn't get much criticism.
To be clear, I personally thing both situations were/are shitty and deserved to be called out.
And NR dealt with years of "So, when MK11" and "oh god, ed boon grabbed a cup of coffee. he is going to announce MK11 today. There is precedent because he had a cup of water before they uploaded the Injustice 2 trailer!" and all that jazzPersonally, every game should follow the Mortal Kombat 11 formula:
MK11 was revealed in December 2018, it was released 5 months later in April 2019. The game was nearly complete when it was shown to the public and live gameplay was shown the following month, a server test in March, a beta at the end of March until the beginning of April, and then release at the end of April.
Basically, reveal the game 4-5 months before you're ready to launch, use the months before release to build hype, drop a content deficient beta/demo that accurately represents the final product without giving away much at all, and then release the game. Money.

Whatever it takes.
What? No they didn't. Injustice and Mortal Kombat have been trading off every two years for almost a decade. NRS is one of the only truly consistent game studios working right now, unless you count sports games.And NR dealt with years of "So, when MK11" and "oh god, ed boon grabbed a cup of coffee. he is going to announce MK11 today.

E3 trailer is in-game with gameplay shots, not CGI.I feel like this and the DC game are taking too long to show anything of worth. I wan't this to be good but the CGI trailer didn't impress me. After the amazing(NPI) Spiderman on PS4 this game has a lot to live up to. Show all of us the goods you cowards!
So more footage to make Ultimate Alliance look like GOTG in comparison.
Close to release? Rolf.eh, it's close enough to release that there'll probably at least be a gameplay trailer released publicly after the panel. probably
Yeah you are correct I should have worded it different. Still I went and watched it again and there is no way the game is going to look like what the trailer shows, as do most games. I was wrong to call it CGI though. I don't want to sound like a negative Nancy I do want this game to be good.
Very curious how they approach this after the reaction to the E3 reveal.
I'm still extremely excited for this, but they really need to start communicating exactly what the game is at this point.
Or just about every annual releaseWhat? No they didn't. Injustice and Mortal Kombat have been trading off every two years for almost a decade. NRS is one of the only truly consistent game studios working right now, unless you count sports games.
The game is 10 months away, so to be fair it's not that close to release.
May 2020, that's 10 months away.Wait, this game is supposed to be releasing early next year? Why do I get the feeling that this is ripe for a delay...
Come on now lol
Yeah I'm playing it up for laughs, I just find it hilarious that we waited so long for news and the big reveal was a trailer with little (if any) gameplay and a dev team who don't seem to be able to actually explain how their game works. I don't know if that's down to strict NDAs or the game being a muddled mess, but reading all the E3 interviews had me more confused about how it was all meant to fit together. It's astonishing to me that Marvel and Star Wars are, like, the two biggest brands in the world at the moment and yet Disney hasn't worked to build a prominent gaming presenceI mean, you are obviously exaggerating but I could see it being an Anthem situation (not necessarily a technical problem like the engine though).
Real talk though,
Thor endgame is better than Square's Poor ThorReal talk though,hobo Thor looked pretty badass in the battle against Thanos
The thing with these avengers is that they look like they're in the middle of their midlife crisis.
