Thor looks shockingly bad. How they thought that model was worth showing on stage at e3 for their second biggest game of 2020...
Sure, don't get me wrong I'm not thrilled with the default designs they have. But people acting like they're "terrible" is a bit nonsense. They're just not great designs.
Looking at it as someone that does 3d models/characters Thor is very competent. Design/art direction I can understand taking issue with but again "shockingly bad" is a bit much.
Read the parentheses. At the time most didn't know if it was gameplay.
Cap is the one that really made me double take, honestly. I could take Thor and Iron Man looking the way they are but I legit think that's a bad Cap design
Biggest problem is the hair and beard, which is even worse given how good hair has looked for CD and Eidos.
This got me thinking something... what if the costumes that we are seeing there are actually customizable on the go?
I've watched this trailer so many times trying to catch on to what everyone is so furious over, and I still think it looks pretty good.
It might be a botched reveal since there's very little gameplay included here, but really outside of that and Black Widow's strange character model, I only get more excited to see more. The overreactions here are real.

We didn't see any gameplay. There supposed to be a playable version on the E3 showfloor today? I won't judge based off of a cinematic trailer. I'm actually excited about this.
Readability wise he's instantly recognizable as Cap. I personally wouldn't go that disconnected kevlar route if I were to design Cap from the ground up in a new thing but within its own design it seems decent. I think a big issue is going that route with an Avengers game. He sticks out way more with a design like that when compared to Iron Man tech or Asgard outfits. If you did something like a Captain America version of Batman: Origins it makes more sense if the design is consistent within its own world. If we saw an extended look of just Cap on the Hellicarrier fighting those goons or who we assume is Taskmaster I think it would make more sense visually since the outfits are more along the same style. And if you go back and watch the footage of him fighting the two guys on the ship's bridge I think? it looks absolutely fine.

"Shockingly unimpressive" in terms of what? graphics and animation wise, they're very impressive.
But we are going to have footage from show floor demo later today, aren't we?
A bigger meltdown would be to make Spiderman exclusive to XBoxOne. Would you still wanna see that?
There's the Coliseum segment at 1:00 PM pacific today. Hopefully that's a walkthrough.
Sure. But they didn't announce exclusive content for Xbox lmao
Well to be honest I wasn't expecting too much but I kinda liked the trailer.
And yeah the faces of the heroes are not the best.

I'm guessing it's been covered already ad eternum (not reading 36 pages lmao), but the problem is not just the faces looking really bland, it's the fact that they have a very clear MCU look going on, and that makes everything feel cheap and like one of those "we didn't have the actors' likeness rights" situations.
Which shouldn't happen here as this is not the MCU, and they have a plethora of media and comics to pull inspiration from. As a whole, if I were to look past that, I like Bruce (but, again, he looks like diet Ruffalo, kinda) and long-haired Tony (he looks awful otherwise). Thor is alright, but bland; same for Cap. Natasha looks weird imo.
The visuals are something else, though. Like damn if this is actually how it's going to look.
Although you'd have to wonder why they didn't show any gameplay (that isn't a split of a second) in the conference and instead chose two awkward scenes just because.
Very excited honestly. I hope it's a perfectly acceptable single-player game (in its story's length and quality) and that the GaaS is as optional as it can be, as that's not my thing. Although co-op could be really fun.

I hope that's it, then.

yeah its like gears 5 that weird video at the conference then just after the conference ended there's actualy gameplay of the game, weird choices.
Yeah. Although I don't think Gears 5 has gotten gameplay this E3. That would be the Escape mode. But then again, that also had a CG trailer instead of a gameplay one.
I guess S-E wants to spread out the conversation by showing a day or so later some gameplay, if they're actually doing that.
That is a good performance. Yeah, I think it's fair to say the developers wanting his natural voice and how prolific he is has colored my perception of how well he blends into a role. I'm just so familiar with it.
Its just bad. Don't you know bad when you see it? And its not just that they are too MCU, but also too Comic, and generally not inspired. Also, look at that hair, that not how hair should look... /s
I dunno man it looks mostly fine to me...
That says a lot, especially considering that it's on a platform that's far less powerful than the PS4/PS4 Pro, Xbox One/Xbox One X & Stadia.
That's very embarrassing.
in this case it's all about art direction, and much less about graphical power.
I don't really get how they're gonna deal with the power difference for characters like Black Widow if this is a game that allows for any hero to be in the mission.
Yep. Just like how most prefer the look of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 over Infinite, for instance.
J
Just goes to show it's not all about processing power. Weaker system but overall much better looking game
May want to have your glasses checked. MUA 3 is the winner here
Can't convince some people I guess. Enjoy your knock off avengers with PS3 quality hair 🤷
I think MUA 3 looks far more interesting but it is a bad looking game.
I didn't realize convincing people was "you're wrong."
