The single player is very linear probably but the single player makes up some unknown part of the game.
This could end up being 70-95% multiplayer.
It isn't. There is a campaign story mode that is single player, but you can branch off to multiplayer missions that aren't part of the single player game. It was explained on the Q&As.
they need to take this whole game back to the drawing board if you do a boss fight, with a single character, in an avengers game. even if this was just an early shoecase of characters...that would be the moment to showcase them working together.
If all the Avengers teamed up to fight Taskmaster at once and he held his own this would have been garbage to anyone familiar with Taskmaster. Not every "boss fight" should be the team ganging up on one guy. The fights usually aren't like that in the comics and movies. They shouldn't be in the games.
MUA 3 has you covered, though.
I don't really know what I expected from the Avengers game going into this. but hearing the impressions and seeing the leaked footage, I'm pretty underwhelmed. it sounds like a realistic Ultimate Alliance but with one character in one way and a Marvel version of the Arkham games in another way.
actually, it reminds me of the first Star Wars Fallen Order footage. for all the promise, hype, whatever, it just seemed boring

Exactly. You should be forced to constantly switch between the Avengers to make use of their different abilities to defeat the big bad. The team dynamic is what makes the Avengers special.
Yeah, that guy is trash. Someone here pimped his video about the control scheme of Spider-Man PS4 last year, which led me to another video of his and he immediately started spouting some MRA/Alt-right type bullshit about Black Panther. I had to block his channel to eventually scrub my YT recommendations afterwards.
Might be best to put the dude that was pimping his video out last year on ignore too
Perhaps, but to be fair, you couldn't tell Lucas' agenda from that video alone. The person posting it might have come across it while randomly searching for gameplay footage from the show floor and wasn't aware of the otherwise dubious content of that channel, so i gave them the benefit of the doubt.
Uncharted The Lost Legacy Creative Director from Naughty Dog is the director of this game.
And God of War's lead Combat Director is the main combat designer in this game.
CD went and got the Avengers of game developers for this game. And it shows. The leaked footage looked better than any uncharted or god of war setpiece ive played this gen.
Judging by the impressions I'm hearing, this thing is gonna be a mediocre, safe as houses linear set piece fest. People were imagining the battle of New York in the first Avengers movie in a Spiderman style open world and that is far from what they're getting.
Did people really want to walk around an open world as Captain America? Black Widow? People are weird.
An Iron Man/Hulk/Thor open-world game would be great. You could put Captain America and Black Widow in a car or something I guess
Yes. Open world would be absolutely phenomenal. Even something like God Of War 2018
Looking at the gameplay I can see the campaign being solid. If you're doing mission as Black Widow, then a mission as Iron-Man, then one as Hulk - all tailored to their strengths - that seems like a solid setup for a good action game. In my mind I'm picturing a structure like DMC5.
It's the co-op missions I'm struggling to see playing out in my head. I'm imagining Destiny-like areas, but I'm wondering how navigation will work between the characters. Maybe Captain America and Black Widow get to summon bikes? Or I suppose it's more likely abilities like flying will be closer to hovering above ground.
But the core story mode being designed for a single-player leaves me optimistic about that part of the game.

How would the extra work because that's makes me worried about them starting to get samey but with different animations
God of War 2018's combat is great value Soulsborne/For Honor.
The saddest part of the leaked footage is just that you have all these characters to play around with, and your first boss battle is...as Black Widow. The least interesting Avenger of all time.
It's just the intro, from the trailer you can already see Hulk vs Abomination as at least another boss battle
Right. I'm just saying you usually put your best foot forward for your first boss, since it's the one EVERYBODY's gonna fight. Black Widow having a wimpy kick fight against Taskmaster is not really best foot forward.
Are they planning to feature more Avengers or have they confirmed that what we see is all the characters? Because it would be a damn bummer just to ape the MCU's core crew. Hell I'd just be happy for Black Panther but hoping for Monica Rambeau as well.
There will be a couple more, but I wouldn't expect any roster deep cuts beyond Kamala. This game is designed to be as safe as humanly possible.
The game is designed as gaas where they'll keep releasing new heroes and location after the game launched.
I'm not sure of the current core 5 avenger is all there is in the game when it launched, or will there be other unlockable avengers you can get in the launch. We had teaser for AntMan, but I'm not sure if he'll be unlockable at launch or future dlc
God damn. You'd think with the revival of the Ultimate Alliance series they would try breaking the mold. I know the films are popular but I can't imagine having the licence and not going as bold as possible for a unique roster. Maybe they aren't taking risks due to mandate from Disney/Marvel but it's lame either way.
Ah! That's actually good to know. Gonna try and stay optimistic in that case. Praying that they're not too samey. Kamala, Tamara Devoux (Captain Universe), Dr. Voodoo, Miss America, Robbie Reyes (Ghost Rider). The game can have a lot of diversity and seperate itslelf a lot from the MCU with some honest effort.

They said that as a live service you're getting free dlcs characters over time
Which doesn't make that hopeful because I'm worried that the characters may end up be samey and free sounds too good to be true but I'm waiting and seeing
I don't think we should be wary about character feeling samey. They seem to be proud that the current 5 character feel very distinct from each other. At least I imagine they're aware and will try to differentiate how future dlc character will play compared to other.
I can see there being archetype or some kind of class. War Machine play similar as IronMan just with different loadout to differentiate. Gun wielder like winter soldier may play similar with Black Widow but again with different weapon and abilities etc
Think less Destiny and more Mass Effect or Final Fantasy XV
A team of 4 always goes in (vs 3 in Mass Effect) 1 player controlled and 3 AI. Given flying heroes there will be more vertically but that seems to be the general structure. The party travels around together and everything is story focused aside from the general busywork that most big ARPGs have
Sounds good to me! And Holy shit those visuals, I love it! If people actually complain about the visuals (and we see gameplay bits in the trailer) then sorry....you've lost me.
Fix up that framerate, and I'm sure they will between now and May, and it could be something really damn cool!
