Wolverine prototype gameplay footage leaks (major spoilers)

What is more fascinating is that some of you cannot understand this will not be the final product.

They are Xbox trolls. Don't pay them any attention. From what we see so far, this is looking great! Most of that footage 2-3 years before the game would be releasing anyway. I'm so happy to see they aren't turning the gore down. It's clear to me that someone internally is mad they can't talk more about the game, so the leaks are flowing.

Looks like the final product could be fun, I don't mind the closer over the shoulder camera if the combat feels brutal and impactful.
Seeing a lot of traversal in the videos though, and even the leaked slides talk about traversal being one of the core pillars of the gameplay. I really hope they make something interesting and not the braindead autopilot traversal we get in most games.

People are "mostly" complaining about the direction the game is going...not the quality of the final product.

The direction is clear. Its gonna be an over the shoulder game with the spiderman art style. Some people didnt want that then theu have more than enough evidence to voice concern.

Then those people are pure idiots! Who expects a game developer to go away from what 99% of gamers want and purchase?

- GTA5
- Spiderman1, Miles Morales, and Spiderman 2
- Read Dead Redemption 2
- God of War


"Those" people that wanted a first-person Wolverine game are either haters or trolls. Or did they want a top-down Wolverine game?

Idk what the heck your on about?
Dude play Ravensofts 2008 game. I actually think if this. played more like SM it would look better. I guess Insomniac where "idiots" when they did that in SM1&2? Ill say it one more time Fuck "locking" the camera to the characters back.

I dunno about you man, but I clearly wanted Wolverine to step it up and elevate the gameplay to 4th person perspective. Any other kind of third person that isn't over the shoulder simply wouldn't cut it.

Wolverine fights how he fights.

Sony can only implement 1 style of combat in their games it seems.

It’s not up to me to create engaging game play mechanics on behalf of Sony.

As a consumer I am within my rights to say ‘that looks boring’ and not spend any money on it.

Hope that clears my position up for you.
I don't care if you think the upcoming Wolverine is boring but Wolverine style is already pre-defined since he has built-in knives and superhuman strength and stamina. From the abilities listed it would be weird if grappling, punching and stabbing type moves weren't used.


It would be weird if any Wolverine game gave Logan the ability to use guns outside a very specific use case.

I really don’t want to have Wolverine doing parkour and climbing buildings.
I can't remember too much of Wolverines abilities as I only know of him be way of the X-Men TV series and not the comics,but doesn't scale buildings/surfaces like depicted in the leaks? I can understand not watching Logan to move like lady from Mirror's Edge but Logan does climb.
 
That new clip looks better. It does remind me a lot of GoW Ragnarok, which is pretty much what I expected. Up close camera showing off great animations. I loved GoW 2018 so maybe this will end up okay. Ragnarok had other issues that made me bounce off of it that weren't related to the combat.

Remains to be seen how well Wolverine handles crowd control and enemies attacking him from the back. Could actually end up working out if you frequently are taking damage from enemies behind you and then you pull out weapons stuck in your back and heal. But that was one of the more annoying elements of Ragnarok.

This is a terrible situation for the devs and a really shitty way for them to have to end the year. Being at home for your “break” and seeing your work in an unfinished state plastered all over the internet must be awful.

Sorry Insomniac folks…don’t listen to the millions of arm chair devs and shitlord trolls. Best of luck finishing off your game!

I get that he does in fact climb with his claws. I just don’t think he should do it often. And the parkour top of wall running stuff wasn’t very Wolverine like.

Can Wolverine’s move set be separated from Sony’s method of implementation?
 
Idk I’m watching these videos - it looks like they nailed it. And I’m pretty critical of the “Sony” style. Which this certainly is but it totally fits the vibe. Also I’m sure that they’re reusing some stuff from Spider-Man as placeholders in certain parts which may be giving the impression of similarity

What? Wolverine was always a parkour beast.

that tree jump is the extent of it though. It wasn’t fast and nimble like we saw in the game. That flip kick wasn’t Wolverine, that was Mystique.

He’s more like a clunky animal than a nimble cat.

I have zero complaints about what I see in the combat. I just don’t want Wolverine’s traversal to feel anything like Spider-Man.

With how much of the story, dialogue, mission design, etc. appears done I think a late 2026 release seems really conservative.

Really like that it's wide-linear with multiple locations.

Can't wait, looks amazing. Love the Neo Tokyo vibe (and the fact that Logan is gonna fight his main rogues gallery).

It could be that the game will be done before 2026, just the release date is 2026. It's not unheard of for companies to sit on finished products to fit their timelines. Nintendo does it a lot, the movie industry is like that as well.

cant sony issue a take down, these leaks are illegal, at least ban them from legit sites.

btw i hope i dont get banned, but when did mystique have a wife? Is it in comics lore now? Or just IG doing IG representation?
Yes, Mystique has a wife in the comics.. Destiny (and don't forget, Mystique is a shape shifter and can change into male form, recent comics put Mystique and Destiny as the biological parents of Nightcrawler)

But you know, people will still call Insomniac out on it of course, agenda something something.

wtf looks already this good 3 years from release? how?

It's a vertical slice, so they basically pick a small segment of the game (or design a custom one specifically for it) then build it out so that small chunk of the game is like 80-90% done, the rest of the game will still be using grey block geometry etc. The logic is it's easier to finish making just 5% of the game and figuring out if it's good or not, than get 80% of the way done across the entire game and realising it's shite. Usually these vertical slices are used for investor demos, but as first party studio they don't have to worry too much about that.

The infamous Anthem gameplay at E3 was also just a vertical slice, they had no other game made other than that part, then had to rush the other 95% of the game in like 18 months, so don't be fooled into thinking the game is done from a vertical slice.

I felt like I was seeing Marvel's Spider-Man with Wolverine's skin.

Insomniac became Sony's Ubsoft?
