Yeah that's how it looks. I'm interested in how big this main story is.
Yeah that's true.
Yeah bit lttp watching the trailer but they basically went the worst possible route for these characters: likeness with the MCU in costume and build, but with different faces and VO. This is really jarring and just feels... wrong. It's like I'm watching the knockoff Avengers from another universe.
Does anyone else feel this game sounds very jumbled together when the developers talk about it

Yep which leads me to believe it was scrapped and restarted fairly recently.
We barely know anything of the story yet but the set up so far is simple enough and I'm glad they let the actors do their own thing.
If you want an Iron Man that sounds like RDJ, go watch the movies. This Nolan's Iron Man.
*sighs* So... i am getting a MvC:I feeling from this game. I really want it to be good as i love CD stories in games but I dont know. And it looks Janky in parts. And no WAY they could not have at least gotten the Comic character likenesses if the movie licenses were too expensive.
Maybe I'm just dull to Troy and Nolan north being in the same games but that scene with them interacting sounded like the same person talking to themselves. I know they are extremely talented but man that clip gave me concerns. And the solo game play style how it makes you play as the
Main hero makes it feel like the co-op will just be tacked on arena battles/small missions..

I don't get it. So it's not like Destiny where you build a character-maybe like Overwatch instead where the character is just static and only one is allowed per game.
But games like that don't have the physical difference that exists between black widow and the other Avengers. The same issue exists if Hawkeye is in the game too.
Like, how do you handle the same enemies with guns peppering the other Avengers with bullets also attacking Black Widow? A story can just have her managing to stay out of danger zones, but how does that work in a co-op game that allows people to choose heroes?
Well all of the MUA games were a massive downgrade from the Xmen legends games so … The Snowblind-esque aRPG is really the only style that works well in superhero games on console, at least on the action side. Turn-based tactical would also work well.
That's going to differ massively actor to actor and I'm going to imagine Evans, Downey, Johansson, Hemsworth, and Ruffalo are well in a different plane of reality cost wise than Reeves.
All of this sounds cool. I really think that the game itself is going to be good, have a lot of faith in them.
Hell, acting seems to be very good from what little we saw.
Just.. just... improve the character models, please.
Fuckin what? You can only play the character you want if you're playing multiplayer, and then only if somebody else isn't also playing them?
It sounds like they either awkwardly shoved GaaS elements into a single player game, or awkwardly shoved single player stuff into a GaaS game. I wish them the best (pls fix those character designs though) but I'm wondering if they were overly ambitious with a game that would already need to be massive in scale.
I'm with ya. Some criticism is well-deserved but there's a bit of unnecessary piling-on going on now.
The single player campaign missions are designed for specific characters
When playing multiplayer, the same character can't be used by two teammates
None of this sounds unreasonable to me...
wondering how they're going to make this a live service game. Will coop be separate from single player?
Why not let everyone play as the same hero? Seems like an odd choice.
That's the vibe I get from the way they tried to describe it at E3 Coliseum. Sounds like the singleplayer campaign is an after thought.
I imagine they will have some sort of mode or endgame or whatever outside of the campaign that allows us to pick the character we want.
given they are trying to do a GAAS.
Because if not, why would I even invest my time in this?
we need to know more. much more. E3 would have been a perfect time to show us but what do I know?
Idk same way the MUA games handle it. It's just a video game.
All the impressions from people that saw gameplay are positive, so I think y'all might be reading too much into the bullet points.
As for whether it's GaaS or not. It's a mix. They have a narrative that most likely will have a definitive beginning, middle, and end, but also be able to spawn many different things off of it.
From what the previous rumor(that turned out to be true) said, is that a crashed Helicarrier will serve as the hub, and from there you can either choose to go out and play through the story missions, or go to multiplayer, branches off stuff.
It all sounds cohesive to me.

Focus on West Coast Avengers and don't have Julia Carpenter or Century? Get out of here
I feel like I'm going to be torn on this for awhile. I feel like the gameplay should be fun and fine and for as much focus as CD is putting into saying how narrative focused the game is, maybe the story is going to end up quite good, although I do wonder how they'll add to it with new areas and characters showing up. I hope the additional content feels more like expansions (to the story) and not just 'new area to fight more enemies". Graphically it was fine enough in my opinion even though the character models need some touching up.
It doesn't seem that odd to me. There are a ton of co-op games, dating back decades, that have players choose different characters... Maybe it's for balancing reasons or for narrative /presentation reasons.
I mean they just really need to show gameplay. Wasn't this playable at E3? They really couldn't take 2 minutes of gamepaly footage or something?
