Having one “mirror” character for each archetype (e.g Clint / Kate, Iron Man / War Machine) actually helps with the co-op restrictions. That’s kind of smart Edit: also, Anthem loving sucked rear end from the moment you started it up. I don’t know if y’all are actually playing right now but this campaign is actually good? I don’t know if the GAAS part will have forever legs but there’s an actual functioning game here. VanillaGorilla fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Sep 1, 2020 |

It's rumored that's also why your armor choices don't show off on your character; having a hodpodge style makes the characters less "identifiable" and suits at Marvel would see that as not being a strength to the brand.

Except they've said Exotics do show on your character, so it's probably way more likely since this is a cash grab that it's so you'll just buy one of the lovely costumes and it's less work than modeling all the armor (and then having to add some kind of transmog system so you can get the look you want).

VanillaGorilla posted:Having one “mirror” character for each archetype (e.g Clint / Kate, Iron Man / War Machine) actually helps with the co-op restrictions. That’s kind of smart Yeah, I imagine most of them are pretty obvious. Captain/Winter Soldier Iron Man/War Machine Hulk/She Hulk I don't know enough about comic books to know who would be obvious matches for Widow, Kamala, or Thor, but I'm sure they exist in that listing. Maybe it's just as easy as doing something like femThor for Thor. I bet you this is how they get around the Spiderman thing also. Since he'll be coming with new zones, story, and bosses. I bet they do something like "Well Peter Parker Spiderman is exclusive to Ps4/5, but Miles Morales Spiderman is all platform! This means PC/Xbox gamers can still experience the Spiderman content!". So he'll be a hero where PC/Xbox gamers don't get a chance to swap to an alt if someone else is using them like Ps4/5 do. e: People in industry are saying this was supposed to show off a Wakanda raid today, along with likely a Black Panther reveal. Looks like they changed their marketing last minute out of respect for Chadwick's passing which makes sense. ee: The more I think on it, the more I realize that's exactly what they are going to do with Spiderman. Each hero comes with a story continuation, new zones, and content relating to them. Spiderman's exclusivity only mentions the character and an event tied to him will be exclusive, but says nothing of his zones/story content. So either Spiderman will launch as just a hero with an event, which would be underwhelming. Or they are going to release his alt on other platforms, and that way his zones/story content will still make sense and let you play as Miles or Gwen.

I cannot get over how good Kamala is as a framing character here. The beginning levels do a fantastic job of letting you experience her learning what it’s like to have super powers, and the VA just does an amazing job of selling how loving amped she is about it.

I disagree, I think she's really awful lol, the part where the smug kid is like "wow, they should have kept this exclusive to only real fans" was so fuckin corny. I also find the whole "wow I have to learn how to use these new powers" story to be just as bad as the whole "wow the world turns its back on our heroes, but then the world learns they made a mistake" story and it drives me nuts they had to put both in here. I'm just being a grumpy bitch tho, game is rly fun.

Yeah I can see how it might be a little grating. Maybe it’s just because I’m an old pop-pop now with a kid so the characterization really strikes a chord. Like I said before, it’s also a pretty faithful adaptation of her character from the comics, which I also really liked.

ICR posted:No roadmap revealed at all. They said after their bit about Boseman at the very start of the stream that they altered the presentation out of respect to his family and friends, and then the stream was like ten minutes long. I'd say it's pretty fair to infer that they had to cut out a chunk of Black Panther reveal stuff.

Played some single player last night and thought I finished the mission after the intro, then decided to try out multiplayer. It didn't save any of my progress after knocking out taskmaster cool And now when I try to resume, Iron man is the one who knocks out taskmaster and he speaks with black widow's voice. cool cool Also can't skip the movie after the intro and it freezes to a black screen after it plays and never comes back so it's literally impossible to progress now cool cool cool Guess I bought a $60 2-minute body swap movie

playing multiplayer and i tried to climb up to a platform that had a glass railing and the glass shattered while climbing and now I'm just holding onto a non-existent glass railing and I can't get off lol.

Atomic Robo-Kid posted:For Thor they could do Jane Foster as Thor, Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike. Yeah, I'm just looking at the leak list now. Antman/Wasp is obvious. Captain Marvel/Mar-Vell Black Widow/Mockingbird Black Panther/Shuri Black Panther Spiderman/Miles or Gwen Who would Falcon, Quake, or Vision tie to? Who is anything like Kamala? Dr Strange/Scarlet Witch could be a "magic" pairing, but are they friends in any way that makes that make sense? I would hope they'd do something like Jane Foster or BRB for Thor. Unless that's going to be the Quake alt, but man that'd be a cop out since they aren't exactly similar outside of maybe playsets.

I think expecting a Spider Man clone to be available on other systems might be wishful thinking. Wouldn't Sony just own everything to do with his universe? I'm not really sure how their license for it works though so I'm probably missing something. But considering the Miles Morales game is probably going to be their only big PS5 launch exclusive I definitely think that he's off the table.

They have film rights to like 900 characters or so but that doesn't necessarily extend to game rights. They might not be able to tie up characters like Silk or Spider-Woman.

IcePhoenix posted:I think expecting a Spider Man clone to be available on other systems might be wishful thinking. Wouldn't Sony just own everything to do with his universe? I mean what's the other options then? Spiderman launches with literally nothing but a skill tree, with a very basic event for some skins but is never referenced or seen in the campaign ever? A weird hangeron that doesn't feel great? Spiderman launches with a full suite of a DLC hero, a raid, missions, new story content, new enemies, new plot relevant stuff, but it's only on Ps4? And then once again is never seen in the future campaign missions/content? Neither of those are in any way good for the game, and nobody would be happy with either. If they are going all in with alt options, they could very easily do something like Spiderman/Gwen ( or Miles/Silk ) as a tag team, adding in the missions, raid, story content, and enemies to all platforms. But only Ps4 gets actual Spiderman, everyone else finishes the campaign missions he comes with as Miles ( or Gwen/Silk ) and he'll be the one who shows up more often in future cutscenes. Everyone wins. Ps4/5 gets their exclusive hero, but he actually comes with content that everyone can see rather then just being a weird little thing the game never even shows as a character. Like the Hawkeye pack makes mention of how these story missions push the story forward after the Assemble storyline, and both Hawkeyes will be needed for whats to come. How is that reconciled with an exclusive hero.

There's no good answer to that which is why exclusive stuff in a game like this sucks rear end The "best" way to do it is to make it so all the spider man stuff is on all systems but he's only playable as a character on PS4/5. I'm not 100% sure how all the missions work but if you just make it so all of the Spidey missions have at least one other character around at all times then you can just force PC/XBOX players to play as one of the other characters so Spidey is still around

Team, listen. Spider-Man is a D-list character. Let him be exclusive. We are all getting a true A-lister in Kathryn Bishop, the Arrow Slayer. May Gosh have mercy on all your souls.

So since they delayed Black Panther, and Kate Bishop is October and Hawkeye is November, that means Black Panther will probably come in December then right?
