Well, that video has less of Wolverine running around throwing poo poo at Sabretooth so there's that. Is it just me or is it weird that buildings are hard edges to the map? In XCom you could run into buildings, and getting thrown through a window and continuing the fight inside seems like a real superhero thing to do. I guess I'm just nitpicking though, I've just been disappointed since the gameplay reveal.

Last time this conversation happened, Slay the Spire got used as the "well obviously people who hate digital card games have never played it" so I did, in fact, play it.

Here's an interview about Gotham Knights (the game, not to be confused with Gotham Knights, the show with the same premise) Apologies for the choice of site, CBR is rear end but what comic news site isn't.

Midnight Suns Captain America video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZrKZInJ9nk Edit: Ignoring the gameplay, I think that little flame on the Midnight Suns costume's shield is just a bit silly. But other than that, it's a good-looking shield. catlord fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Jul 10, 2022 |

Gotham Knights Is Designed as a Different Game for Each DC Heroquote:"Every character gets custom lines per level per cinematic, and they each get a character arc with multiple cinematics in it," WB Games Montréal narrative director Montréal Lemay told Inverse. "It was a lot of writing. But because we wanted that to be part of the experience -- and because gameplay and animation were doing the same thing on their side with unique animation sets and unique gameplay per character -- you had to rise to the occasion. It's four games in one." I wonder how easy it'll be to make the story completely incoherent through switching characters. Gotham Knights Game Prequel Series Debuts an 1800s Gotham City Hero quote:The synopsis for Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City reads, "In Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City, a mysterious virus has infected Gotham City—turning its victims into rabid, yellow-irised maniacs driven to looting, theft, and bursts of anger. Batman – in his final case before his death – and his Gotham Knights struggle to keep this strange virus contained while investigating its origins. But this is not the first time this unusual illness has overtaken the city, as the series splits between present-day Gotham City and the Gotham City of the 1800s, as The Dark Knight and his allies discover the Runaway – one of Gotham City’s earliest masked vigilantes." That sounds kinda fun, the kind of stuff I like to read. Oh, and there's an Iron Man gameplay video for Midnight Suns that I haven't watched. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryPiuPeOTuA

Batman's 'really dead' and the Joker won't be in Gotham Knights, says creative directorquote:As part of a fan Q&A at San Diego Comic-Con, WB Games Montréal creative director Patrick Redding said that Batman is "really dead" in Gotham Knights, according to IGN(opens in new tab). Really and truly and for real this time, no take-backsies in the final cutscene or anything. Also, the Joker won't be in it, though Redding followed that statement by saying, "I will not confirm or deny whether Harley is". Given that Harley Quinn is practically the face of the DC Universe these days, her appearance wouldn't be too surprising. How many villains have they actually confirmed? quote:Redding gave away one more detail about Gotham Knights: how many of the Riddler's question marks would be scattered across its version of Gotham City. Apparently, there's "exactly one" of them. Sorry, puzzle fans. Well there's some good news.

Gotham Knights will take multiple playthroughs to see the whole story That's a very hyperbolic title for what's going on. quote:"We actually made four [stories], not just one!" said Mui. Ellenor followed up by saying that "You will not see all of it in a single playthrough. Just because there’s so much content that is unique to the hero’s perception of what’s going on and what’s happened." That said, I am kinda thinking about how you could kinda replicate the line-crossovers where the different characters have different side quests. similar to how there'd be a main crossover storyline and then the characters each have their own storyline that runs alongside it in their own book. But that'd actually be making four games, so, you know, I get it.

Yeah, and if the rumours are to be believed, WB Montreal had a Suicide Squad game and a Damian Wayne Batman game cancelled before this one. I'm kinda curious if we'll hear about the development for these games, it sounds like it was... troubled.

I did try the free weekend, and I will note that my computer is definitely starting to creak so that was kinda miserable. But didn't love it, not gonna pick it up if/when it shows up on GOG. Hated the combat, which really dampened enthusiasm for the rest which was... adequate, though like I said I found it hard to get enthused about. Some of the dialogue options weren't quite what I expected, I very much did not intend to tell Nico that she was nothing without the staff? Sorry Nico, I never read Runaways but you seem cool. Glad to be with the EMO KIDS. I wouldn't be surprised it it doesn't have the long tail of an XCOM game, it doesn't really have the same sense of organic story generation that makes XCOM special. The permadeath and churn of recruits in XCOM ends up creating narratives out of mechanical events that Midnight Suns can't really do. My badass sniper/assault duo Claymore and Cookie managed to take on a whole life of their own, despite just being randomly generated soldiers I was handed who managed to survive better than everyone else they went with. Anyways, my final takeaways are "gently caress the 2K Launcher" and, what the gently caress is up with Venom's tongue situation? He has a normal, human tongue and a weird glow-y ethereal tongue and once I noticed I couldn't unnotice.

I have no idea what they did in their off-time, but sure.

I missed the behind the scenes video before. I did laugh when they promised to continually add new content; that exact line is said in every single GaaS preview and we've seen how that turns out.

I can get being a little irritated. I kinda get The Saboteur vibes from the trailer. I'll obviously need to see gameplay but story-wise I'm intrigued.

Medullah posted:They really need to learn from Suicide Squad Kills the Justice League. No one wants to see Hulk jumping and smashing, they need to give him and Dr. Strange really big guns. I mean...  This looks... interesting but I also never played Overwatch. I like how the characters seem like they'll play very differently, and they've got quite the selection. "https://www.pcgamer.com/games/third-person-shooter/marvel-rivals-is-a-6v6-hero-shooter-in-development-at-netease-testing-begins-in-may/ posted:The initial roster of characters includes: Surprised by the lack of like, Wolverine. I'm not a multiplayer person really, I might check it out if people says it's good, but I doubt I'd stick with it. Anyways, if you liked Midnight Suns, they apparently talked about developing the mechanics at GDC. I don't know how much is new insight, some of it sounds familiar to me from prior articles about it, but it's still a look at a game.

I did like the character work in Midnight Suns, for the most part. For as weird as the roster is at first glance, they bounce off of each other well. I liked hanging out with Nico. I just need to read classic New Mutants to understand Magik, right? 'Cause I have to admit, from what I played I did not particularly care for her, but I'm also not familiar with her in the comics.

Waffleman_ posted:Would have made sense, Arkham Asylum was basically what we got instead of a Dark Knight game I think it's weird because The Dark Knight was going to get a game, but it was developed by Pandemic so I have no idea how this one by Monolith fits into all that. I always thought the Nemesis system would be fun for getting villains into different costumes each time you met them, but I never put much more thought into it than that.
