Something doesn't add up to me.
I'm still skeptical regarding their claim of "no loot boxes and no pay to win", especially if they plan to deliver free content over time. Something's gotta give there.
I believe they might not have paid loot boxes in the strictest sense, meaning you can't straight-up buy loot boxes like in Overwatch. However, my gut is telling me there's probably going to be multiple layers of obfuscation involved through the tricks of randomized loot, multiple currencies and time saver DLC.
Emotes would be awesome.The way that they talk about costumes, I'm thinking thats where the monetization comes in. I'm also thinking early access to regions and heroes, additional cosmetic customization, emotes, pets, laa dee daa...
The game, from the description, sounds really good if done right. Despite being quite turned off with the character designs, I'm partially interested with the gameplay aspects.
They just confirmed that beta will be with all platforms. I never understand stuff like "I'm not buying because x is a y exclusive". It will be likely the Spider-Man PS4 costume, and even if it was more, I don't understand why people get mad at this. I never got mad about Rise of Tomb Raider been an XBox exclusive, for example.The ps4 exclusive content is the main thing I'm worried about now. This could be a deal breaker if it's something as huge as Spider-Man and a quest line surrounding him. If it's just costumes so be it. If they make something that huge exclusive, I won't be buying it.
The fact that they keep giving nonanswers regarding anything with the exclusivity is worrisome
Gear is confirmed, gotta get it somehow. No word on if costumes can unlock, be found or crafted etc. There is a progression system with levels, not sure about physically finding skill points or anything.Is there loot? I'm really curious about the online portion. If we run raids and stuff to find skills and cosmetics, that would be my dream game

I've bought Cuphead both on PC and Switch since it was an XBox exclusive at the time, I think these initiatives are actually good to the market because it sows competition. I doubt that Avengers will be a lesser game because the lack of a PS4 exclusive, they wouldn't shoot their own foot like that.
Honestly, I'd only get it if it's Destiny like, if the MP is just for the story then it's a no from me.Hasn't been any talk of that stuff outside of "multiplayer missions". Would be cool to go through a really hard area with the Avengers fighting bosses or something designed for end-game itemization/skill progression/player coordination. But maybe they feel that would make solo players upset or fear that they're missing out.
I don't think they would do that. It doesn't make sense in a marketing perspective. As long as you mean things that aren't exclusive to let's say, Marvel Spider-Man.Because I'm not paying the same amount for less content that another platforms customers get

I wouldn't be shocked with a Marvel Spider-Man related mission either. Neither would understand why anyone would be mad at that. I actually hope they do that, it will make some buy a PS4 for it and that's good for the market. XBox time to shine will come with this next generation, that plan of feeding the market with new exclusives more frequently will probably make me buy one as well.After destiny 2, I would not be shocked at all if whole missions were ps4 exclusive
I feel like I'd need a big strike-esque mission or a raid from Avengers but I think I'd play it regardless.Honestly, I'd only get it if it's Destiny like, if the MP is just for the story then it's a no from me.
I'm trying to find the Gamespot interview, but no luck so far.

I'd expect a mildly souped up port shortly after the PS5 and Scarlet launches. Plus, backwards compatibility is a thing.It seems reallllly weird to do a "we're going to support this game for years!" when the PS5 is coming out six months later.

That's not an issue with PS5 being backward compatible.It seems reallllly weird to do a "we're going to support this game for years!" when the PS5 is coming out six months later.
Can one play the game totally single player offline rather than online?
You can play just about everything by yourself if you want to. I encourage you to play with your buddies. It's so much more fun in multiplayer. But yeah, most of this stuff you can play by yourself.
Yeah they dodged the question there. I'm guessing it will be like the new GR, you can play solo, but still need to be online.So you can play singleplayer, but online is required it sounds like...
not sure what GR is but it's sounding a lot like DestinyYeah they dodged the question there. I'm guessing it will be like the new GR, you can play solo, but still need to be online.
The new Ghost Recon game.
Can you give me a link?
I feel the same but i think it's actually just Crystal Dynamics not giving proper details from the start and also it's like they have a PR-wall that they can't go through to give out real meaty details about all modes. It's a very confusing way to show off a game of this magnitude with so many diffrent playstyles and modes.There is absolutely something up with this game. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't feel right.
I think it was Game Informer who said that it looked very rough so i guess they won't show of both a bad trailer and a game in, for now, bad shape to the public.I don't understand why they aren't showing off gameplay if it's there on the showfloor.

Story campaign/raid mission? It'd be like destiny where they keep having new campaign every year. If you didn't buy the latest expansion, you can still explore the new region and do some co-op mission or something.If regions and characters are free, do we know how they're monetising this? Costumes? Emotes?
Nobody asked if it's part of the same universe as Spidey PS4? That's relevant to my interests.
