Wolverine prototype gameplay footage leaks (major spoilers)

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.
I think in many cases the end result is not as successful as it was planned to be. Expanding or changing the roster of playable characters can feel very forced and can be risky, because you stand a chance of losing your core audience if you go too far with the changes.

Like the case of Alan Wake 2 with Alan having much less playable content than Saga. It's more likely some existing fans skipped the game because of not getting what they wanted rather than new customers showed up to be able to play as a new female character. Gears 4 also got a cold reception after getting rid of the old guys and introducing a very bland new squad.

In my opinion a well-written character can appeal to a wide group of people and it doesn't matter if it represents your sex or ethnicity. Trying to offer a choice at all costs (like female or male Eivor in AC Valhalla) can hurt the overall experience or make it less special.

That all seems very predictable tbh.I would have liked to have seen a super fluid system with perhaps over the top fast character movement so you could really move around fast slicing up the opposition.....this looks like standard 3rd person action game.
 
Really smart to have another playable character since that will break up the monotony of melee combat and open things up for the X-Men game with established gameplay.

All they have to do for X-Men is up the polygon count and add more playable characters.

X-Men ranked by popularity according to comic vine:

1. Wolverine
2. Cyclops
3. Jean Grey
4. Rogue
5. Gambit
6. Colossus
7. Nightcrawler
8. Beast
9. Angel
10. Iceman
11. Banshee
12. Storm

You obviously don't have to create each and every character, but the potential for an X-Men game is leaps and bounds beyond pretty much every other marvel property and some of these characters are easy to make, while some are going to be challenging.

If the game is on PS6 making it multiplayer makes a lot of sense too.

The Wolverine: God Of War
Clearly... I love Sony 3rd parties and 1st party to some extend but it starts to look like all the same, God of War, Horizon, etc, 3rd person with action combats... It's not that it is bad, it is actually pretty good, but it's just always the same.

For exemple the success of the Resident Evil and FF series is because they always renew their gameplay time to time, RE1/2/3 is the same genre, then there's a "half half" RE which is Code Veronica (half new half old), then 4/5 which are similar, 6 which takes gameplay ideas from all the past RE series (which makes it a pretty weird episode, but interesting), then RE7/8. That's why people are still excited/looking forward to it.

God of War 1/2/3/Ascencions were the same (+ 2 PSP episodes), people started to be bored about that vision... Then God Of War 2018 and Ragnarok.

Well this game should be about Wolverine so i expect to play as WOLVERINE! Otherwise change the effing title….

It’s called bait and switch the western style of luring people in. Deception at it’s finest.

If this game was about the X-men then i would understand. This is pure feminist pandering a.k.a forced diversity crap don’t pretend otherwise.

Just because other games use forced diversity doesn’t mean it should be in every damn game especially for more known franchises like in this case or in the spider-man games. Were people buy those games to play as the character the game is about.

game looks awesome!

Reminds me of an insomniac spin on the old xmen origins wolverine game which was great.

Funny how the new spider man games are like a modern version of the old spider man games and now this is like a modern wolverine game.

Can’t understand the negativity, was hardly going to be WOLVERINE KART RACER COD EXTREME.

Or

Wolverine souls.

Guarantee same people will be shitting themselves with excitement when shadow of the erd tree is shown and has two more enemy variants and 4 swords.

All these leaks absolutely suck. What an unfortunate series of events.
Yeah, thank fuck for the ignore thread function. The only reason criminals think they can ransom stuff like gameplay footage and storyboards is because fanboys will spread it all over the web and ruin it for everyone who didn't want to know.

I'm out.

Looks like condensed design doc presentation made for Sony production execs for green lighting planned features etc. Crushing I really feel bad or the studio and am definitely getting the game on release
Yep, absolutely.

And for those saying 'looks boring', 'uninspired', 'unappealing', whatever....
This game is in development, early development at that. It's 2-3 years away from release and NONE of this footage is supposed to be shown to the public. This is what games in development look like, they are rough, they arent supposed to be in any way what the final game will look/play like. All leaks do is totally damage what is being built, its sickening to be honest.

I appreciate the massive leak. Informs players on whether or not the game is worth buying. Could be interesting if the gameplay loop is good to warrant consecutive playthroughs.

This information gives a very good idea on what the game format is like.

Story however is underwhelming and seems like a Wolverine reboot. I'd prefer the OG Wolverine from the comics and not this Wolverine/Jean Grey fanfiction.

looks plays too similar to past sony games, getting long in the tooth with such design imo

wolverman : among last of teeth

This. The third-person story adventure is getting a little stale.

Sony need some more variety. A FPS, an RPG to rival Elder Scrolls, a SIM game, a RTS........just roll back on the TP action games, please!
