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

His work as that TLOU badguy was also awesome, had no idea that was him initially.
Because that would be crazy expensive. And the game isn't set in the MCU so it could be confusing.
One is meant to be comic accurate. The other is not.
I do hope they fix the faces a bit. Black Widow is looking like Steiner from FFIX.
But other than that, the game looks great.

Yeah, but I think they went out of their way to make them not look like the movie versions.
So it's too expensive for this flagship project, but not for ultimate alliance, a smaller game? I'm honestly surprised. I thought they'd want to capitalize on the success of the MCU and incorporate those version, even if the game wasn't canon.
Going with the stung double look seems a very odd commercial decision.
They both look good for me, but also expecting completely different things from them. They both look bad in different ways too.
MUA3 looks like a technical mess when big abilities are used and Avengers just has a terrible, psudo MCU cosplay event look to it. I still have faith in both projects though, one for legacy, one for budget lol.

Thought this was gonna be about the shit roster. Idc about the not-MCU art style, it's fine. But that roster is garbage. All white, one woman who isn't a super. Yeah it's the OG MCU roster, which was made over a decade ago, and were in different times now. Why make a decade old mistake?
This is the first I hear of MUA3 using the likeness of the movie actors?
I don't mind the look of either and I don't think the realistic look of square's avengers is a detriment. It looks like the movies without literally ripping off the likeness of the actors so I basically see it as a game version of the mcu avengers while MUA3 is straight up comic book
Not far enough imo.
MUA3 is clearly it's own thing, going for a stylised comic book feeling, whilst this is more cinematic so it's going to draw far more comparisons.
Square Enix want to have the cake and eat it too. They want the iconography of the MCU because that gets them cash and interest, but want it to be clear it isn't in the MCU.
Sigh @ people comparing the roster to UA.
One game just got revealed and is obviously just focusing on Avengers members and not the entire Marvel Universe.
The other is releasing next month and have had tons of reveals since it was revealed at TGA.
Give it time, Avengers will surely have better representation whenever they start revealing more characters.
Characters like Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel etc are gonna be revealed sooner or later.
Character designs I can understand being more subjective, but I like that they're doing their own thing - its not a tie-in game after all - but still keeping the characters recognizable. It really does seem like Marvel cant please everyone, either the games are to much like the MCU or it isn't. People are always gonna find something to complain about.

wtf
Why are we complaining about Tony Stank and the Pretenders when we have this. Jesus, this looks horrible.
Thor, Black Widow and Cap all look very bad.
I have no idea what's going on with Black Widow and Thor's hairs in the game, they look awful in most scenes.
Also Cap looks like a random guard from Arkham series.
Bruce is the only one that looks kinda okay.

Oh you're right, Spider-Man was announced at 2016 E3 but still, is not that you've seen Tom Holland in 3 o 4 movies.
It's different when you've spent 10 years watching Robert Downey or Chris Evans as those characters.
And the characters in the game does look a little rough I believe, but it's not something to be so full of hatred as some people are lol.
I'd highly recommend anyone with doubts of what Marvel Avengers will look like gameplay wise to check out Easy Allies podcast, they saw the demo, explain with great detail and came out genuinely excited with it:
It starts around the 31:40 mark.
Also, after watching it, not only I'm hyped, but they made me understand why the gameplay wasn't shown: it looks fucking gorgeous, but since it's a still early in the developing stage, it is still glitchy, same case as Cyberpunk 2077. Frame drops, crazy stuff happening, but they say it's justified with the absurd levels of things happening on screen.

For what it's worth, I've seen the "bootleg Avengers" feeling popping up everywhere, not just here. It's not an Era thing.
While I believe that the negative feedback might be important for them to work their asses off giving us the best game possible, after the Easy Allies video I've just linked I'm more confident that this will be a home run.
Dead ass op. Before this reveal, I already thrown away Ultimate Alliance because I wanted a big AAA experience from Marvel. After this reveal, Ultimate Alliance is day one 😂
I know you're a huge Marvel fan but from all I've heard by people from the press they mostly had the exact opposite impression? Like to them it seemed like they had to scrap everything recently and what they now have is all that is basically left of their old build/game. Doesn't instill too much confidence when the game is literally only 11 months away.
From everything I've seen and what people say so far this game looks pretty mediocre. A shame really.
Did it though?
I was severely deflated on that game in the treehouse section. Went from a day one purchase to not sure if I'll get it at all.
It didn't help when they died and had to redo about 10 minutes of progress because of a gimmicky corridor section though :/
Uh.... hahaha, no? Very few people from the press other than Game Informer wrote or talked about the demo at length like Easy Allies just did. Here is the game informer link:
I've been following the coverage of this quite closely and everyone seems genuinely impressed with the demo. Yes the character models need some work, but the developers already said they are hearing the feedback and will work on it. Interestingly, a lot of people on the thread are saying that Bruce / Hulk looks good, and Andrew from Game Informer seems to notice the same, at this period of development Hulk seems to be the most polished so far. I dare you to find me any reaction from the demo that doesn't look impressed with it.
Nah, sorry, won't play kids games with you. There are enough people from the press out there saying the demo is pretty underhwelming, generic und uninspired. But from your response I can surmise that you don't actually want to hear legit criticism of the game but only people gushing and falling over themselves praising the game.
It's not a kids game. Citation needed. Literally all I could find is people praising the gameplay in the demo. Yes, the trailer was criticized, but not really the demo gameplay. Completely different things.
I think the kids game is supposed to be talking about Marvel Stuff with you.
Ditto. Not quite the voices I expected for them. Also Nolan North has been deadpool, rocket raccoon and now iron man. Damn!
For those thinking they aren't trying to copy the MCU, here's an easy test.
Hawkeye wasn't in the trailer.
Assuming Hawkeye shows up in the game, who is more likely. Kate or Clint?
And their costume, will it be purple spandex or will it be a copy of what the MCU film has, but with a fugly face?
You already know the answer to both.

LMFAO, Kate was never even an Avenger. Not a main Avenger at least. Of course it will be Clint, but that doesn't mean they are "aping" the MCU at all, this is a very classic Avengers formation, also with Hank Pym in the mix.
It will look like the Fraction / Aja Hawkeye I believe, and he will probably be blonde and a smartass, very unlike MCU's Hawkeye. The MCU based the characters in the comics, not the other way around, so of course that there will be some similarities. Hawkeye has been looking like this in the comics for more than one decade now:
By your logic, Hank Pym would have to be an old man, and we'd have Scott Lang instead.
They say they will have costumes, I want to know how deep they will go
That was on them. Instead of hitting Retry they chose to go back to the last SHIELD circle. When I saw them doing that I was like, "No, dummies, the last SHIELD circle was before the boss fight!"
Honestly I wanna see a citation on this too, because it's a pretty extreme claim. Like, the few negative written impressions I've read mostly said the gameplay looked bland, but never went so far as to say it looked incomplete.
E.g. Ben from Giant Bomb went to see the demo and that was basically the impression he got. At least that's how I understood his impressions.
Mm, she is literally the leader of the current West Coast Avengers.
When it comes to people from both the press or even people that are there, the word that I see thrown around a lot is impressive, even Yehl from IGN that was disappointed with the trailer came out impressed with the gameplay after seeing it:
I'm not finding the Giant Bomb's Ben video tho.
West Coast and Young aren't really the main Avengers team. Even Ms. Marvel and Miles actually were in the main team.Mm, she is literally the leader of the current West Coast Avengers.
Don't insult me. I read comics. I still go by my LCS every Wednesday. I'm not an idiot. I have the full run of Kelly Thompson's West Coast Avengers.LMFAO, Kate was never even an Avenger. Not a main Avenger at least. Of course it will be Clint, but that doesn't mean they are "aping" the MCU at all, this is a very classic Avengers formation, also with Hank Pym in the mix.

What I mean is, I already know exactly what the default model for Hawkeye is going to look like and it ain't going to be that.
Currently in central Berlin and I just had problems loading this damn thread so I'm still gonna wait and see what the non-demo situation is.
I love Kate; Fraction's and Aja's Hawkeye is absolutely gold, and I dig Thompson's run. With that said, saying that Hawkeye needs to be Kate to differentiate from the MCU is just LOL. Pym is younger than in the MCU and part of the team. Unlike YEHL is saying, Thor seems a lot more serious than he is in the MCU, including before Ragnarok. I don't see the similarities at all.
You're missing the point. What I'm saying is the art design of the game is CLEARLY aping the MCU, but without their faces. I don't mean in terms of their acting or voices. But literally the 3D models. That's the entire point of this discussion. They're POOR knock-offs, too. Black Widow is pretty much Lord Farquad's daughter.
I know Squarevengers is still in development and will look better as time goes on but those faces look off as hell and Captain America looks like a Cop and Black Widow looks somehow like a high school teacher attempting to cosplay.
MUA3 looks off to but I put that on the Switch and had that style been on MvCI, everyone would've eat that shit like pizza.

Ahh that's good to hear, I was only half watching so clearly I missed that as well :P
