Looks dope. Character designs are sub-par but the animation and game loop looks very Destiny-like, which has me excited to jump in. Day 1.
I already pointed out that we've only had 3 major IPs (Star Wars, Spider-Man, Batman) and they've all done well because they would good games first. There literally haven't been any other IPs...I don't know but their might be a reason for that.
Also, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 came out last year...let's not act like it was in the top 10 NPD last year. The quality of the game and the marketing matters.
I'm not surprised at all at the reactions to how they look. MCU/Avengers is a massive, massive popular entertainment brand now. These characters have been associated with specific actors for years, and across some of the biggest movies to hit theaters...ever. So, for those who don't read comics anymore (or ever), it's like putting Luke Skywalker in Battlefront but making his face look like some random dude. It's just visually very jarring.
I feel like this game is like 2 years too late. Right before Infinity War/Endgame might have been great though.
Ultimate Alliance 3 sold over a million copies as a Switch exclusive
It absolutely did well
Ok that's fine then, I don't even consider that GaaS since that's been around since forever. The modern sense of GaaS is far more concerning
It's possible, that's one of the big questions surrounding it. If they do use Spidey, will it be Insomniac's version (thereby confirming a shared universe) or their own take on him?
If it is Insomniac's version, then I guarantee that reveal would be saved for something like the PS Meeting and dropped as a console-exclusive bombshell, which would make the PS version of the game the definitive one to have
That cover art is so cluttered and generic looking. But the colors look nice.
Those skins look so low quality. The collectors edition doesn't look like it's worth $200. The second edition of suits are great though. Black and gold ones.
Arkham Knight had a much better cover art and collectors edition than this and that came out 5 years ago.
Step it up Square Enix. Batman and Cyberpunk are gonna be releasing near this and it's gonna look bad.

This plus the realistic art style and character design they used as as opposed to using a more stylized one.
Seems the achievements have accidentally leaked. Some spoilers on main villain.

i think if the game is a success, they'll get to X-Men.
i think there are a lot of avengers / young avengers / midnight sons characters to get to first, though
You know how Go-bots were the dollar store brand Transformers? That's what this game feels like: the Go-bots of the Avengers.
Yes it did, as a Switch exclusive...people in here are acting like anything with a Marvel IP attached to it will light up the charts.
BINGO.
You are comparing a multi-platform AAA game to a Switch exclusive though. The reason people think it will light up the charts is because the audience is there.
Really b? That's less than tomb raider sold. 4 mil is a flop for certain games not sure why that seems crazy to you.
Well, people think that Anthem didn't flop despite being a multiplatform GaaS game that only sold a bit above 6 million and has been a ghost town in-game...I'm sure that's what Square Enix wants here...so there is nothing to add here really...
These are the most expensive games to make (GaaS) in gaming, but let's compare them to the sales expectations of single player games.
Are we talking about Anthem? I never brought it up. This is about big mainstream IPs translating to games and the fact that this generation they've mostly all sold at or above expectations.
The only bootleg Disney lawyers aren't gonna sue.
(God, I hate Go-bots to this day, I was the Go-bots kid)
This is my favorite analogy in a long time.

This still looks like a low rent MCU knock off, the character designs are so bad. Either pay for the MCU likeness or go with comic character designs. No way am I going to try this game unless it somehow gets spectacular reviews, which I doubt will happen from the horrible character designs to the mediocre looking combat.
I also think the game will be a major flop in terms of expectations for SE. As an AAA Marvel superhero game, SE hopes it will do 10 million plus in sales similar to Spiderman while I could easily see it only doing 3-4 million instead. I doubt it could go MvC:I low or only 1 million similar to MUA3.

People still don't understand the economic reason to make the base outfits terrible. They want to sell you the MCU version of each character for $20.
They better hope the game is good or that won't matter.

Someone else brought it up...every comment in this thread that I've made isn't directed at you...I literally said "people think"...
LOL true but don't sully the Revengers name, their is nothing that we've seen about this game that is as epic as anything here:
(Sorry Loki, could find a gif with you in it as well 😂)
0 hype for this game. They are up against a lot of great games coming out shortly after as well, not to mention people will be saving up for new consoles. Hopefully the beta generates some excitement, because as of now it just looks so meh.
I highly disagree with this. Comic book heroes are KNOWN to have various looks, versions, variations etc. As strange as the characters in the game look, it's very much in the vein of comic tradition to have a completely different visual style.
Luke Skywalker is associated with Mark Hamill because he originated on screen, that was his first ever appearance and is KNOWN from the movies.
Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, etc. have been around for DECADES before these movies came out and have had hundreds of redesigns, costumes, art-styles, throughout the years, and just because they're associated with certain actors means nothing when the actors' likeness has nothing to do with the video game translation of the characters.
I get the need to avoid paying out royalties for using the likeness of real life actors, but this is just... urgh!
They could have at least designed them to look more human. It's so bad it's jarring.
I'm sure I'll play and enjoy the game, but the character faces look too plastic. The uncanny valley is ruining the appeal for this game for sure.
The issue for me isn't so much that they don't look like the movie actors/actresses. It's that they don't look like humans at all (or at least enough).
Contrast with Insomniac's Spiderman and you'll see what I mean:

:/ Yeah the art look like the stuff they put on soda cans/ toothbrush
Aight. By the end of the year, this will be one of the best selling games of 2020. How's that?
i am surprised why this game doesn't have PS5 label at the end of the trailer? Or maybe the PS5 version won't be a stand-alone version and will be PS4 version updated?
Yes, I know - but you are looking at it from the perspective of a comic book reader/fan. There are now millions of people for whom Marvel and Avengers are movie properties first and foremost in their minds - especially when it comes to video entertainment like a video game. So: when you have somewhat photo-real Avengers characters in a video game, that look nothing like the characters people have been seeing in movies for years, some of their favorite movies, it just looks wrong.
It's much easier to swallow things like stylized cartoony graphics, isometric etc because those don't try to replicate the photoreal look of the characters.
This is speculation. Marvel known worldwide as a comic book company first and foremost. Any characters appearing in any movie that opens with a "Marvel" logo is immediately recognized as a comic book property. Hell, even look at their OG MCU logo, it had comics flipping through the company name.

They definitely could be better, but it def isn't horrendous (aside from Cap's outfit)
Campaign missions are tied to specific heroes. The co-op/multiplayer missions are where you get to pick your hero.
Otherwise I'd totally turn the entire campaign into Hulk: Ultimate Destruction 2.
