Like the bad impression Ffxv had its entire run to release? And went on to sell 8-9 mil and ppl still call it the first ff ever? I'm all for not liking the look of a game but sometimes ppl on here take it way to the extremes and project a lot. It's the avengers by a Known studio coming in the fall with multiplayer..
Almost all the games you play have GaaS elements. It's not a big deal.
Wait, you are moving the goalposts. We went from "look at the other big movie properties that flopped as games" to "well none of them flopped but other movies did!"
The FFXV game...from one of the top brands in gaming, and the lead franchise of a whole genre? Comparing this to a hyper-generic beat 'em up...
But hey...people were told after Star Wars: The Force Awakens that there would not be another movie in the trilogy that would come even close to the ticket sales it had...but oh well, guess we'll see!
How is that moving the goalposts? The point is, the strength of an IP means little for the sales success of a new product.
Good movies do well. Bad movies don't....good games do well...bad games don't...don't know why you are trying to over-complicate it.
Or just a Black Panther
But really Captain America he's easier to make a game with than Iron man just do Arkham but with shield combos
I'm cautiously optimistic but I'm worried the gameplay might get "diluted" as a result of the gaas elements and multiple characters
Because you tried to point to other movie to game transitions not doing well then when I asked for recent examples you switched your reasoning to other movies instead because you have no examples in games to point to.
This will "flop" scoring wise, financially I'm sure it will do good. Game looks so stiff and bland
Agreed to a degree, but Avengers, as an IP, has very large sales potential. If the game reaches 9 million, sure they game is very profitable, but it would have failed to reach it's potential success. Spider-man has shown Marvel just how much their IPs can climb sales wise when the right publisher-developer combo is in charge.
Avengers will make A LOT of money... But I don't buy for second that Marvel won't side eye SE and Crystal if they fail to launch a multiplatform Avengers game to similar success to the PS4 exclusive Spider-man. That does not mean that the game wouldnt be a big success, but it does mean that the benchmark that Spider-man set was not cleared by a multiplatform Avengers, which looks bad.
This game seems like such a safe bet all around, and I just think that's exactly the opposite of what superheroes need right now. Quit the realism. Run wild.
I'm certain it will be fair, and it will likely sell a lot due to its name, but it doesn't look half as entertaining as Spider-man, and I can't fathom how that's possible. Look forward to being wrong, hopefully!

I don't know how the game itself will turn out but if this shit doesn't sell well I'm bumping this thread and roasting all of you.
Very likely. Which just ups the challenge level here. Each character is almost like making an entirely different action game, if you want them to actually feel like the very different characters they are at least.
I'm hoping this will be good, but I'm definitely gonna wait to pick it up after reviews come out.
Then clarify what you mean regarding these DC projects please. Because GaaS is heavily associated with things like Destiny, Anthem, etc.
Even though having expansions & DLCs through season passes is technically GaaS, everyone knows that's not what the implication of the word is
They really shouldn't of gone for the mega realistic style, it just doesn't look right.
Its also weird that the roster is the movie avengers, plus Ms Marvel randomly.

Poor Hawkeye, getting the boot from the "Main Six". How many characters is this game supposed to have?
People aren't surprised at them looking different, they are surprised at them looking kinda bad.
Especially when MUA3 has come out so recently and looks very good in the character designs.
Still hoping that this one will have good SP campaign. If not then I'm out.
The game will probably set some records in sales for SE though, being Marvel's and Avengers and all.
I'm still thinking that Disney of all companies would be much better off creating their own game development arm instead of relying on 3rd parties and thus robbing us of gaming IPs we like or new IPs altogether.

Okay, but I'm not really surprised by those people. I'm surprised by the ones who explicitly said it was the fact that they look different, going back to even the first page. I think those are the ones I mentioned.
His argument was garbage from the beginning. "Anthem flopped!" No. Let's be clear: Anthem is a bad game. Anthem didn't review well critically. Anthem did not "flop", it was one of the best selling games of 2019. And that was with the game being a bug filled mess.
If Avengers isn't bug filled and doesn't have a completely empty MTX shop (Anthem), it'll sell plenty.
Yeah I remember when people here said that about Jedi Fallen Order for months, too.
The mainstream audience (you know, the one that actually matters in terms of sales) will have no fucking clue on any of the "problems" being raised in this thread. It'll sell just fine.
Thank you.
People don't blink when Spidey or Batman look different from the multiple movie incarnations we've had, but god forbid Iron Man doesn't have the exact same facial hair or voice as RDJ or Cap doesn't have the exact same look as Chris Evans.
Supposedly it's got a 12+ hour story campaign. 30 if you do all the side content.
Yeah it will sell well but fail to match Spidey despite having more platforms.
Unknown, but certainly more than 6. I'm positive they have playable characters they haven't shown off yet, including Hawkeye and probably Black Panther and Captain Marvel too.
Not to mention all the DLC heroes that they'll be adding as time goes on
Have they even shown any of the villains yet?
I'm kinda morbidly curious what they are going to look like.

12 is more than fine, no need for 30 hours of "go fetch this from the same place again" side "content".
Would Spider-Man be in it? He's not typically associated with the Avengers, but he's fucking Spider-Man!
Good luck with this. Actually, no. First quantify what "sells well" means. I don't want this shit selling 4m copies and you bumping this thread to go "See, it didn't do THAT great".
Eh. 12 hours would be extremely disappointing for me if the side content isn't good.
I really don't think that's the case. We wouldn't have comments like "bootleg/porn Avengers" if it was just about costume designs. It's the realistic art style coupled with faces that aren't the actors, along with an aesthetic that tries to mimic the MCU's functional costume design. These costumes aren't my favorite designs or anything (and I do think Cap's is straight up bad), but they're not nearly bad enough alone to warrant the negative reaction people have had to the "look" of the game.
Means nothing in the long run, but people are not having it at all in the comment section to the trailer. Outside of that, it just seems like the marketing is just not landing with a lot of people.
That Thor outfit looks like bad cosplay. Literally looks like plates glued to craft foam. Way it fits somehow hides physique instead of complimenting it like the film suits too.
Faces are fine at least but damn, its like a Gears of War dude attempted super hero stuff and didnt get how to make outfits meant to form fit look cool.
