Avengers The Game is planned, as of now, to be 3rd person and to have stealth, melee combat, and cover shooting.

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

"Design responsibilities include but are not limited to Enemy AI, combat behaviors, stealth, player weapons and tools, cover and melee based mechanics. "

"Experience spec-ing and tuning particular combat game systems such as difficulty, weapon aim."

"Current on industry trends as it relates to modern combat design for 3rd person action adventure games."

This is from their "Combat System Designers" job posting.

The game will also have boss fights according to their "AI/Combat designer" posting.

So.... Was conflicted whether or not this information warranted a thread or not. The stealth and cover shooting were mildly interesting enough (not sure any loot shooter has had stealth before and stealth could MAYBE suggest a Black Panther class possibly) to want me to post it... IDK.

This isn't new information. I remember Nirolak posting this a year ago. Still excited, though. Crystal Dynamics have been hiring veterans from Naughty Dog, EA, Monolith, Visceral and Sledgehammer so they have quite the capable team to pull of a third-person action adventure right now. IIRC the Creative Director of Uncharted: Lost Legacy is also the Creative Director of The Avengers Project. He was also formally the Director of Photography and Animation Supervisor that led the cinematics team for The Last of Us. Square ain't playing around.

Considering it's an online GaaS focused game a la Destiny, they'll probably try and fit in Agents of SHIELD somewhere if they're going create-a-character. This is really interesting in that Rocksteady's game is rumoured to be something similar to Avengers so there's going to be serious competition. I have more trust in Rocksteady than I do Eidos Montreal/Crystal Dynamics, though.

 

[Silky]

Three tiers of wack

 

[The_R3medy]

I'm just stupidly happy it's third person as someone who gets motion sick from some first person games like Deus Ex and Dishonored.

 

[jon bones]

I really hope we see something at E3 - still have a Marvel Heroes sized hole in my life

 

[Procheno]

Sounds like a modern mainstream AAA game

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I could understand stealth and cover shooting for a Black Widow or even Captain America game, but Avengers?

 

[Darksaberx]

As a superhero capable of untold things, I like nothing more than to hide behind cover from my foes... HULK HIDE!

 

[Lashley]

I'm glad its third person. That's where it ends.

Yeah these are all elements found in random AAA games other than boss fights and boss fights are extremely common in loot shooters.

 

[Lant_War]

This game feels like one we'll look back into and think "what the hell were they thinking?"

 

[DrArchon]

Nothing better than a high budget game with light stealth, melee combat, and cover shooting.

Totally not tired of seeing that at all. No sir.

Tomb Raider's incredible non-platforming gameplay... What a thrill.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

The stealth seems like a positive sign, but i'm assuming this is a Destiny clone until i'm proven otherwise.

 

[Knight in Shining Armani]

I'm so ready for this to leave me completely uninterested at E3.

I would not expect to see this until like e3 2020.

If it's a single player campaign focused game I'll take it.

There've been rumors of it having a single player mode according to job listings but don't expecting anything hefty. It'll probably just be a 8 hour optional co-op campaign like Destiny.

Yes they did but that was very bad project understanding by Square.

This game started between June 2016 and January 2017 and these games take 5-7 years to make.

You play as a generic modern soldier and the Avengers are NPCs

Spoiler

/s hopefully

The perfect time to show Avengers stuff honestly.

This year especially would be awful for revealing an Avengers game.

Avengers: Agents of Shield

 

[Deleted member 5491]

Sounds like a bog-standard AAA Action-Adventure game.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

This is from 2017. You could have easily searched on google and found out if this was new information or not. It is very old and the exact same job posting as in 2017.

 

[Gartooth]

Sounds exactly like gameplay befitting a rookie SHIELD agent!

Ahhhhh, you are correct, fuuuuuuuck.

Plz close, mods.

 

[Hey Please]

Sounds like a Black Widow/Captain 'Merica/Winter Soldier game.

Could be for Tomb Raider. Nothing here says it's explicitly for an Avengers game.

 

[Strangelove_77]

Stealth and cover. Eww.

 

[Ceadeus]

Generic: the video game

 

[Deleted member 6582]

Add open world and light RPG mechanics and you have AAA bingo.

Is this confirmed? Something tells me this isn't confirmed.

 

[Corrie1960]

I'll wait for the game of the year edition with all gone DLC

 

[Ashhong]

I don't see how a first person game would work. Especially when everyone is going to want to see the character models and such.

 

[Sgt. Demblant]

Stealth? Melee? Cover shooting?

Daredevil, D-Man and Punisher confirmed.

Thank god.

 

[Puffy]

I wonder if they'll let us customize our agent of shield

 

[Danthrax]

Sounds like the most uncreative design ever. Hopefully it at least ends up well made.

 

[Deleted member 41931]

I can understand cover, but I don't know how you can make stealth work with that wide a variety of gameplay unless they do it like D&D with certain bonus damages and what not.

 

[Deleted member 8463]

Sounds like a waste of the licence.

 

[Dragon1893]

Aren't they part of the Avengers? If you control multiple characters playing as Hulk will certainly be very different from playing as BW.

There might even be exclusive missions for each character.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Avengers game is confirmed to be an action game.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I can't wait to get this game and get stuck playing as fucking Black Widow or Hawkeye instead of anyone actually worth playing as because everyone I'm playing with steals all the good characters.

 

[Deleted member 12352]

SE not making sure to have this game ready to tie in with Endgame was a huuuuuuuuge mistake on their part.

If it feels good in the game to perform the actual superhero shit then the high level design sounding dull doesn't really matter, IMO.

That's what I was thinking too. All of this applies to tomb raider.

 

[xChildofhatex]

Only Square bloody Enix could think that an Avengers game should play like Uncharted. Trust SE to take a concept that should not be anything other than 100% guaranteed awesomeness and turn it into a turd.
