Looks so much like Xmen Wolverine Origins game. Is this gonna be a ps exclusive?

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 days ago

Sign in to confirm your age.

No. No, I don't think I will.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Looks neat. I'm a comic book fan, so I'll probably pick it up eventually, if it ever goes on sale. Or not, if it sucks.

[–] itztalal@lemmings.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you haven't played X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I recommend it.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Damn, really? I remember playing the demo for it years ago, and liking that they made it violent, but I can't remember a damn thing about it other than some of the intro cutscene.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

If it sucks I'll probably eventually get it through Humble Monthly.

[–] itztalal@lemmings.world 2 points 1 day ago

Loving the gore, but the combat looks really basic.

Looks like you just press square and Wolverine locks on and snaps to an enemy.

[–] Lojcs@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Hurr durr mainstream popular ip videogame bad

[–] mohab@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Looks like yet another Sony game for movie goers.

Traversal sold Infamous and Spiderman, let's see what sells this one—I doubt it'll be the combat.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Preanimated takedown moves, from the look if it.

[–] mohab@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I'm gonna guess some kind of dismember system that fills up a meter and let's you perform takedowns, which, in theory, wouldn't be so bad—Ninja Gaiden had it, minus the meter.

Question is: are we going to get a proper combo system around it with proper risk/reward and freedom of expression, or are they gonna baby proof it? Combat looks grounded, so I'm guessing the latter.

I don't see Wolverine launching enemies in the air and doing air juggles in a cowboy hat and jeans 😅

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Didn't the Weapon X game (or maybe it was X-Men Origins: Wolverine) let you "sheathe/unsheathe" his claws so you could lethal and nonlethal damage?

That would be an interesting mechanic to add imo.

[–] plateee@piefed.social 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Either that or hyper violence. I'm getting Doom vibes for some of the fighting.

Actually... "Doom, but with mutants" could be interesting.

[–] Mist101@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

The '95 Sega Genesis X-Men 2: Clone Wars is still my favorite Wolverine in gaming. Just felt like a chunky tank that destroyed everything and the gameplay was fun (and Psylocke, of course).

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You'd think someone could think up something better than a button mashing brawler for superheroes after 35+ years of video games. But apparently not.

[–] galbraith@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Midnight suns isn't a button mashing brawler.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Midnight Suns was a delight and I'm sad we're probably never ever getting a sequel.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

I could never get into it because the game runs like crap in the mansion area in the beginning of the game.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

Midnight Sun is incredibly boring, though. It's like 75% VN type crap and maybe 15% actual gameplay.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's The Wolverine we're talking about here. If there is any hero that deserves a brawler game it'd be him.

Besides, we've also had open world story driven adventure games with Insomniac's Spiderman games.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

This is true. I don't think anyone wants a stealth game. My problem is spiderman was also a brawler, they always are. But you're right, Wolverine is probably the one that should be a brawler.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean i wouldn't mind having dating sim with Wolverine, but going frenzy at the front line is his specialty.

Maybe Dispatch might fit your criteria?

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the trailer are mostly from cutsenes, the actual gameplay is more like Animal Crossings

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

In that case I'm pre ordering it!
