The bad look of Square Enix's Avengers game is making Marvel Ultimate Alliance: The Black Order looks good

MUA doesn't look like a good game to begin with. Looks very rough and outdated in terms of visuals, animations, gameplay, and even the UI.
Actually, Nolan North's voice took me out more than the bland design.
I don't know... it felt so............... uninspired?

Just reading that guy's name makes me hate both games a little more.
It's the atrocious character design. They looked washed out. Costumes look too desaturated and boring. Faces are uncanny and just ordinary
I feel like mixing up the races could've helped with the blandness of it all, making them more interesting, fresh and appealing.

But it does look very slick and flashy.
It's quite fitting seeing Elsa Bloodstone there :D
It does look like something from Matteo Lolli or Derek Charm, with really vibrant coloring.
I didn't say it looked great.
I said it looked like the better Avengers game. And it does. To me.
Especially after the Marvel movies themselves have demonstrated that they don't have to shy away from colourful designs.
The game footage is nearly halfway to Zack Snyder Presents: The MCU.
One game excites me to grind characters to max level
The other I barely recognized any of the people they mentioned because they look nothing like how they should.

Thats because they dont use those models in the game they user lower res ones which is very obvious. The Preview Models could work on better hardware.Very Fornite-y, cool.
However in motion it doesn't look that good.
I don't agree at all...Ultimate Alliance looks like the kind of game that wouldn't have got much attention outside its niche before Marvel exploded in the past few years. Visually at least, and relative to the times, it looks by the numbers. Avengers has good production values at he very least.
I think Avengers at least looks good, although I am not much of a Marvel fan. Spider-man PS4 was probably my favourite marvel anything, and that was becuase of Insomniac.

They need to start banning yall for posting wrong stuff. Its not too late to start mods
CD didn't make stinkers like Ninja Gaiden III(360) and Metroid: Other M. If anything, they're only guilty of making competent AAA games.
"Bad look" simply isn't correct. Its going for realism, but isn't trying to be the MCU. That's very hard, and they're doing pretty solid at it so far. Plus, more costumes and looks are guaranteed because, ya know, DLC.
Both don't look good. Should have made MUA3 with the budget of Avenger Project. That would have been the best superhero game ever.
I know right.
Just to clarify I don't think they assumed they could use the likenesses, because that would be monumentally dumb.
Almost as dumb as making a game that follows the look of a really recognisable IP but absolutely mangling some of the key aspects in a way that is instantly noticeable.
Like that would be super dumb.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 looks great! That series(and Xmen Legends) was an absolute blast, and this one looks like a return to form. I am excited and I get more excited every time I see it.
Dude, it's a knock-off MCU look. That's literally the exact look they're going for.
We can acknowledge that not everything has to resemble the most recent films of whatever IP. That's totally fine. But no one is saying that for MUA3. Or Marvel Academy. Or Marvel Strike Force. Or anything else from Marvel, except MvCI which also was another "Not MCU, but it totally is" game.
They literally are trying to match the suits, the color palette, and the characters of the MCU. If they really wanted to make it not the MCU, they would have not had the exact same 6 characters from the films because there's been a whole host of other Avengers. Even Crossbones in that trailer was pretty damn close to his movie form, but different JUST ENOUGH.
This statement upsets me. Its not wrong, but it hurts my soul all the same.
I'll hold my judgement until I see some real Avengers gameplay footage. MUA 3 is definitely not for me.
I used to think Ultimate Alliance looked shitty. Now it's definitely the best looking Avengers game.
Genuinely shocked by all this "MUA3 looks bad" yang being thrown around in here. It has the fidelity of a Switch Diablo style game, which is to be expected, but the art is on point and the character designs look great.
One is a game for MCU fans that looks nothing like the MCU. The other is a comic-ass comic game for comic fans.
The games have vastly different aims but it's clear where they're coming from and what kind of money they're going for. I'll be getting MUA3, mainly because I enjoy Team Ninja games from time to time and its deep roster allows my girlfriend to choose more than one female character. I waited for Avengers for years despite not liking anything Crystal Dynamics has made in a while and its first showing was pretty poor but that can still change.

Really don't need to see the whole game to deduce that the game's characters look off.
I'd play a game with characters that look off and I do all the time, not that I agree that they even look off. Couldn't care less how they look, I play games for fun.
MUA3 doesn't look particularly all that good either, and the originals were some of my favorite couch co-op games. I suppose it just really feels like a relic, in some ways. It will likely be a blast to play, of course!
The thing that bothers me the most is that I'm very much not a fan of the recent Crystal Dynamic's Tomb Raider games. They all had terrible writing, characterization, and odd style choices. The worlds looked beautiful, sure, but the gameplay left so much to be desired aside from some of the traversal.
So, as soon as their logo came up for Avengers it killed my interest significantly, and having an all star cast composed of many of my favorite voice actors only did so much to recover that. Once again, the world looks pretty good in the sections that appeared like gameplay, but the characters look.... off.
Of course, we'll know how good it will truly turn out until it releases, and we can hope that feedback from the fans keeps them moving in a positive direction.
