The S-E stream had a longer gameplay segment on the Guardians game. Basically while you're running around as Star Lord in combat you can call on the other Guardians to do attacks on enemies.

Glad it's not another bullshit multiplayer online services game or whatever, looks to be entirely singleplayer.

I think Guardians looks good. Glad it's a single player. Wish they had done something else other than just do the movie characters stunt doubles thing again, but eh.

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm kind of tired of I Need A Hero. It's been cropping up way too much recently, and I don't think anything has beaten Saint's Row 4 use of it.

BiggerBoat posted:I haven't played Xcom in a long time but I don't recall it having the vast range of powers that a group of Avengers might (flight, phasing through walls, jumping a half a mile, summoning lightning strikes, magic spells, ricocheting projectiles, bullet proof) and the idea of something like this is really intriguing to me. X-Com 2 literally has almost all of these already and also a big part of strategy is finding elevation. It will likely drop the cover aspect but Xcom-Avengers shift isnt that great

In anticipation of the Spider-Man No Way Home trailer I tried out the concept of 3 cinematic Spider-Men in one fight (one big combo). Starts off with the Raimi suit and then each Spider-Man gets about a third of the battle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zshD_egxNzg

I just saw where they're going a Guardians of the Galaxy video game and genuinely wondering what that might look like or what the best approach would be. A top down thing like the Avengers and Xmen games from a few years ago? I think that'd be kind of boring. I'm picturing a dialed down No Man's Sky sort of thing where you're free to travel planets and I guess maybe choose a single character and go tackle that level (?). Seems like co-op would be the way to go but I'm not sure a team based GotG approach would really work to be honest. Ah, who am I kidding? They're probably just going to make it like that most recent Avengers game and that doesn't really interest me since, even though the Avengers have different skill sets, GotG seems like that model would be a step down. You kind of need levels tailored to the specific skills of each character, IMO, and not a Rainbow Six/Call of Duty squad based thing.

There’s a bunch of footage of it from E3. You play only as Starlord and it’s a 3rd person action/brawler/shooter game

Oh poo poo. My bad. The article I read didn't have any video and somehow I missed the post about it. EDIT: And that looks kind of lame to me. The cinematics, graphics and designs look good but the gameplay just looks like Star Lord being God of War or running around Arkham chaining combos. I'm not sure how you'd go about making a decent game from that license. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Jul 16, 2021 |

I think only playing as Star Lord could work, if the writing is good and the rest of the team participates in a meaningful way.

You only play as one character in Scarlet Nexus and it works there.

I'm glad they decided to focus on one character that hopefully feels good to play as, instead of avengers where it's 6 that all feel the same and like poo poo.

Guardians of the Galaxy are 'space pirates' insomuch as they go on wacky-rear end missions with a spaceship. If you're trying to make a GotG game a space sim isn't really what you should be aiming for.

Uh-huh. So what's the point of having the Marvel license then? I get it, if we are talking a license like Star Wars. I don't get to run around with Luke or Obi-Wan or Boba Fett, but I get to pilot a spaceship all over the place and use a blaster or a lightsaber and force powers. But Star Wars is a "place" where stories can and do exist without characters you already know and love. A lot of SW games are already like this I like Marvel , but without the characters, it's literally (99%) New York City. That was their slogan for a while, Marvel comics takes place in "The world outside your window". And I could get it if you created your squad, member by member, and you had an array of super powers to grant them and you played alongside recognizable characters. That would be OK. And I'd even be kind of cool with "It's the first day of open tryouts for the Avengers, but Uh-oh, all the Avengers had to go to space to deal with a cosmic fart cloud, and now Dr. Doom has put up a magic bubble around New York and declared himself king, and only your rag-tag team of new recruits can stop him". That's something. At least you are going up against known Marvel Villains. But this article makes it sound like it just takes place in the MU, but anyone interesting is not there. Well, guess what game, I already live there.

My guess is you’re a shield agent (or sword or whatever), and/or you’re fighting the brood or something, but yeah seems kind of pointless

I mean, it'll probably still have the villains, who are half of the universe, and probably some characters will show up in a nonplayable capacity.

CzarChasm posted:Uh-huh. So what's the point of having the Marvel license then? The impression I get is that they're not aiming for the Avengers but one of the weirder smaller books where they fight Dracula or Cthulhus rather than space aliens and robots. The lack of existing superheroes as your playable characters might be born from the fact that one of XCOM's biggest defining features is permadeath and having a squad of customizable B-tier heroes allows for that in a way that Iron Man/Captain America/etc wouldn't. I severely doubt it will have Literally Nothing From Marvel In It because that's kind of nonsense.

They did this kind of thing with X-Men Destiny and that sucked. Just let me play with Marvel characters. Most people will just try and recreate them anyway.

That's... weird, especially given Chimera Squad. I mean, Chimera Squad was weird when it came out, but then this got leaked and it made sense, but if they're not doing that then... well, I'm back to being a little confused. Or maybe it's just X-Com but your starting line-up is all named after members of the Avengers. They couldn't get the MCU actor's likenesses either. Anyway, reading the article I'm intrigued by the mention that it's going to be more supernatural Marvel, I'm very curious to see this announced.

Just thinking, based off xcom's anyone can and will die, squad based off unqiue abilities, and loads of c to d list characters, gently caress the concept would have been perfect for a suicide squad game. Alas the actual suicide squad game appears to be a generic 3rd person shooter

I really doubt it's "there are no actual Marvel heroes in this game" but instead you play as player-created or randomly generated heroes. If it's like Xcom and has perma-death then they probably want you throwing nobodies into the grinder and not Iron Man or Captain America.

I don't want to play at Bruce Willis friend I want to play at Bruce Willis. They had this figured out twenty five years ago, why did they forget this now? I don't want to control a bunch of faceless shield agents or made up fake super heroes. I want to control a squad of characters I care about. That's the whole point.

If it's supposed to be an Xcom-like I don't want a bunch of pre-made characters that the license holder probably won't let die against a random mook, I want to be able to customise a squad of heroes that will die in horrible and hilarious ways.

This is honestly what I was hoping for, although the inclusion of the "supernatural" element makes me raise my eyebrow a little. If they mean like, supernatural in the sense of vampires and ghosts and poo poo and not literally all the other fantasy nonsense that is constantly an ongoing thing in superhero land? And if that's the case, are they going to bring up that weird magic-only SHIELD offshoot? I think it was called S.P.E.L.L. or something? Was that a thing? Did I imagine that? CzarChasm posted:Uh-huh. So what's the point of having the Marvel license then? You build, customize, level up, and get attached to a team of your own creation, all so you can feel anguish when get brutally murdered by Carrion or Zarathos or Deacon Frost or some poo poo Oh man, I'm imagining the way Crysalids infect and spawn from NPCs/teammates they attack, except they're vampires now and that'd be pretty cool
