Wolverine prototype gameplay footage leaks (major spoilers)

It could look and play like any other third party ‘action adventure game’ instead of all of the other Sony ones for a start
My first instinct is to ask you if you mean a soulslike, but instead of making an assumption I was wondering if you could name a game or two.

To show you that I’m not trying to argue, I’ll state what my pitch would have been: My own bold idea would be to make it a first person melee game with possibly a type of lock on mechanic. That way you could also aim the claws at critical points. Insomniac would use their creativity from the Resistance games to make first person work for Wolverine.

I know you aren’t trying to argue - you might laugh if I say Tomb Raider 2013, but the ‘soul’ of the game play in that game feels very different than a Sony first party game. There’s also Ubisoft games (primarily AC). There is a different way of doing it and I find Sony’s the blandest of them all, in their quest for ‘impact’ in their combat the opposite actually happens.

Also, your idea sounds great - I’d much prefer that.

Wouldn’t be insomniac/sony game if you didn’t play as some lame lady in wolverine game.
Thats not a Sony or Wolverine thing.

That's holistically all games maybe the past 5-6 years. COD, Gears, FIFA and NHL women's league players, heck Alan Wake 2 etc.... Have a game that blends in both genders and a successful game can corner the market from male and female gamers instead of guy focus only games.

Alan wake 2 is really bad with this. Saga is really the main character and she sucks ass.
Gow ragnarok is also pretty bad with this. I never wanted to play as Atreus and he also sucks ass. But there is much less of him.
Ratchet got turned into a little bitch. The ratchet girl got more bite than he does.

Man…. Why can we just play as bad ass wolverine. No saying Jean is bad. She is great in the movies but it’s wolverine.
There is nothing wrong making game about bad dude in which you play as said bad dude.
 
Bartski Bartski I feel like the more you post, the more the mods are about to kill this thread and every other thread from the past few hours.

why? it's all over reddit and twitter. I'd never post a link to the PC build, it's a screenshot of the file
That’s fair. I guess I wonder(and this might be my ignorance of the subject) if Reddit takes this stuff down, the google searches will lead here right? Would that cause worry for the mods?

Oh ya, and BF5's mom and teenage daughter rambo duo in a fictitious event too.

lol WTF is that smell o vision detective mode 😂

early dev footage and it sucks for insomniac that this has leaked but it looks like Spiderman again and I’m bored of that art style and gameplay. Hopefully it gets more gory and dark but I’m not holding my breath. Looks very safe.

Edit: also how did this get leaked? Is this confirmation that they were in fact breached and data has been compromised?

Hackers got in a week ago and blackmailed Sony to pay them or they'd release the data. Looks like Sony balked and the hackers released it. I remember hearing the data breach was nothing major, but I guess it was tons of info after all.

Certainly seems like they have gotten a lot of good data. This is bad PR for Sony again. These game developers need to seriously sort their shit out in terms of security. Becoming more and more commonplace. I have watched them as it’s not a game I’m super invested in but it does suck for the people working on this and the people who are excited and want to go in blind if they then get inadvertently spoiled.

I could have probably simply imagined that footage without needing to see it - looks like a super early in development Wolverine game!

At work, our IT dept does all their memos telling people about security, our company phones and laptops are even locked out of exporting data through USB sticks or cables. I cant even plug in my phone to my personal laptop and download images and videos I take on it.

IT even tests us with their own phishing emails to see if any of us click the dopey links and they send us a recap of how many people actually did it. And some of the test emails are clever too as they'll make it look like one of the VPs is asking for something with their name. So if you dont look hard at the scammy link to see it's bogus, well there you go. Click and get scammed.

You wouldnt imagine how many people click them. I'd say about 3-5% of employees click them. Our office is only about 150-200 people big but their tracker always says around 5-10 people click them.

Who knows. Maybe someone at Insomniac clicked a hacker link and they got in and downloaded all the data.

Eh this leak is whatever. Doesn't do anything negative or positive for me. The only thing is that im sad about is that it happened to Insomniac who has actually been getting shit done this gen. How bout they leak that Factions 2 gameplay. I want to see what some of these devs were so proud about and what we are missing out on since the game isn't coming out anyway. How bout they leak that.

I think the ransomware hack was limited to Insomniac. So likely no leaks about other studios in giant quantities unless the files were also accessible through Insomniac folders(?)

Oh here we go. Time for people to pass judgement on a game based on footage created 4 years before it'll release. 🥳
You'd think people would learn, however, to quote a great philosopher, "but people are... retarded".

I haven't even been actively interested in gaming for that long and I already internalized the complicated concept that games year or more away from release are going to look different in final state. Amazing, really.

Fucking hell I am done with this studio.

And the only limb he cuts is robot arm. No way wolverine will be bloody enough
There's even a scene where he is about to be slashed by a cannon fodder ninja and gets saved by a lady with shotgun. Fucking Wolverine. Saved by not even a superhuman lady. This is going to be funny. And I bet he's going to be ordered around by jean grey too.

Oh I would and Ive done it myself a few times! I work in security and I have fallen for simulation tests but not for a number of years as I’m now super paranoid 😂

I don’t blame people for that, some of the emails are very sneaky and clever. Some are plain obvious as tests and it’s all about educating users, not to make people feel stupid.

What concerns me is that clicking a phishing link shouldn’t automatically compromise your entire network, they should have a sophisticated DLP (Data Leak prevention) system to counteract extracted data to add to their defence in depth married with EDR and IDS tools etc. I’m shocked that Sony, Rockstar etc etc are not investing HEAVILY in their security as time goes on. I’m sure they are but damn seeing this over and over is bad.

This is not an easy task due to encryption etc. as no doubt this was probably a pretty skilled group and encrypted the data on the way out to make it just seem like legitimate traffic.

Sony obviously didn’t see this as worth paying the ransom for which is really interesting.
