Marvel allowing good devs like Insomniac to make there games is a dream come true.
Hopefully after Wolverine they will make an Xmen game. And some Spider-Man cross overs

 

[Terenty]

I think Insomniac is a solid and interesting dev.. make polished games, but they aren't all amazing.. and to me that includes Spiderman. Ratchet and Clank do very little for me.. they've clearly got some graphical prowess chops though and have since Resistance, but polished graphics aren't what makes games fun to me.

Maybe I'm the odd man out.

*Waits for metacritic scores*

Agree. Spider-man didn't have an ounce of originality gameplay wise, on the contrary played like a Batman Arkham rip off with painfully boring open world to tick that checkbox.

You just know you can't expect anything mind blowing from companies like that. Cool graphics and cutscenes? Most probably. Something unique gameplay wise? Pff you wish

 

[ParaSeoul]

What millennia do YOU live in?

Also, Wolverine remains one of the most popular superheroes in the world. Once he joins the MCU in the next year, he'll be bigger than IRON MAN.
Insomniac is one of the- if not THE- very best game devs on the planet.
They also have the Spidey license. And Marvel loves them.
There's an argument to be made that they could be semi/sorta building a game version lite of the MCU (aka Spidey appears in Wolverine's game, vice versa, sharing locations and perhaps even story points).


If that doesn't excite you, that's more of a you problem, sir .

Thanks for the reply. I did say Insomniac would probably do a good job or that the game wouldn't sell but a teaser just doesn't do it for me anymore. Games are announced way too early still. Only Capcom figured out they should probably only announce games once its basically done and release it the next year.

 

[Yoboman]

Marvel must have come begging Insomniac to save them from the Square Enix train wreck

 

[SenjutsuSage]

If Playstation fans were seriously hoping for Silent Hill over this, you guys are out of your damn minds. This will be WAYYY more interesting than another silent hill.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I mean he wasn't lying. go on YouTube and you'll find a ton of reaction videos of people absolutely going nuts when watching it live. literally people jumping out of their seats. what he said doesn't apply to us as gaffers. or atleast some, not the majority and then YouTube content creators.

The reaction videos over the internet and the number of views being over 3 million proves that Jaffe was right. This did blow many people's minds. The only way it could have been any better is if they literally had gameplay footage to show, but we know it's likely much too early for that.

Hell to the yeah. It will be much bigger too, like no comparison.

Marvel must have come begging Insomniac to save them from the Square Enix train wreck

If it’s like last time, they simply asked Insomniac which other character they wanted and they picked Wolverine, which makes it twice was hype.

 

[Dick Jones]

Marvel must have come begging Insomniac to save them from the Square Enix train wreck

If you see the trailers for the Marvel games in the show, the Marvel logo is first for GotG and Insomniac logo is first for Wolverine.

Says a lot really.

 

[Mowcno]

He must be 120% into capeshit to lose his mind over a CGI trailer for a game coming in 2024 or so.

He didn't see the trailer nor know it would be a CGI trailer, nor even know it would definitely be at yesterdays event.

"Insomniac are making a Wolverine game" is what he knew and yes that's definitely something people would be very excited for. He didn't say "People will be very excited about the specific trailer that they show."

 

[SafeOrAlone]

My guess would be something based off of an existing ip. Think Daredevil by Rocksteady. But that's just an example.

I'll give myself the point on this one. Nothing brings the hype like superheroes, these days.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Is Wolverine Marvels second most popular superhero? I assume Spider-Man is their most popular.

 

[sircaw]

Is Wolverine Marvels second most popular superhero? I assume Spider-Man is their most popular.

Safe bet i would think.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Is Wolverine Marvels second most popular superhero? I assume Spider-Man is their most popular.

Historically yes, to the point where X Men basically became Wolverine and friends.

But these days you can argue Iron Man is just as popular.

 

[manfestival]

Silent Hill fans may come screeching at you for spouting such blasphemy but I actually agree. Give me Wolverine over Silent Hill any day.

You're replying to someone who loses his shit over a CGI trailer of an astronaut doing nothing...

You shouldn’t be posting on a gaming forum.

 

[THEAP99]

Probably a stupid ass marvel or DC super hero game. Maybe star wars

LMAO I was right. FUCK. Sucks Insomniac don't seem like they're gonna make anything original anytime soon

 

[SenjutsuSage]

You shouldn’t be posting on a gaming forum.

Well, I am, and thank god Sony and Insomniac have better taste than their fans.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Come on, Sony. Get a deal for Blade and Punisher and give them to Sucker Punch and Naughty Dog, or at least let SP make another inFamous.

 

[Shmunter]

LMAO I was right. FUCK. Sucks Insomniac don't seem like they're gonna make anything original anytime soon

Yeah a next gen super high production of a Resistance game would be far more interesting to me. BUT Sony is going for mass appeal. Shame.

 

[pratyush]

Maybe if you're a huge X-Men fan. For the rest of us, it's pretty meh. Spider-Man is different, everyone knows that character and thinks he's cool with the swinging and shit. Stuff that has fun gameplay written all over it even if you don't know that much about Spidey otherwise. Wolverine is just a dude with claws, really, and it's hard to imagine the gameplay being much more than a brawler. That's just not very exciting.

I think you mean yourself when you say rest of us because Wolverine is big fucking deal. Bigger than any of the Avenger.

 

[Papacheeks]

He must be 120% into capeshit to lose his mind over a CGI trailer for a game coming in 2024 or so.

Wolverine was running just like Spiderman 2 in engine. I could literally tell it was the same engine as Spiderman with how the lighting and skin textures looked compared to Spiderman miles morales.

Just wasnt gameplay as noted by the watermarks.

 

[RoadHazard]

I think you mean yourself when you say rest of us because Wolverine is big fucking deal. Bigger than any of the Avenger.

I doubt it.

 

[GymWolf]

Same here, no clue how anybody can be hyped for a wolverine game lol

Personally, the only interesting thing would be a dark gorey game with tlou2 level of violence, but under insomnaic we can probably forget that.

If this was the mindblowing megaton, then lmao.

 

[The Snake]

Being too lazy to read the topic, was this about God of War? Because I watched the trailer and I thought it just looked like the first game all over again. Also are people really freaking out? Who didn't expect a followup?

 

[Papacheeks]

I doubt it.

You must be 10 years old, because Hugh Jackman made wolverine even bigger than he was from the cartoons and the comics. Which Xmen has had a large expansive comic book series and been written by tons of people and got 3 spin off movies?

I'll wait.........

Wolverine is literally huge and one of the the most recognizable xmen and Marvel characters. You would have to be living in a cave for 60 years without internet or tv to understand the importance and impact the character has? Wolverine and dead pool are as recognizable now as Spiderman.

Wolverine is a big deal.

Most people are freaking out about Insomniac doing Wolverine and another Spiderman game with what looks like you being able to use both peter/miles and that venom is in it.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I love Jaffe's take on the showcase. He seems to really understand where the industry is going and is creating some of the best content on YouTube. I hope he kicks up the production values eventually.

 

[Captain Toad]

I know plenty of people, myself included, were super excited. No one expected a AAA Wolverine PS5 game. And to hear it's coming from Insomniac is a mega announcement. People will downplay anything just to pile on and trash talk.

 

[Ogbert]

Was it really the Wolverine game??

Christ. That’s cringeworthy.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Anyone expecting this not to use a very similar combat system to Spiderman's are crazy. It's fantastic.

I'm 36, and the Avengers are far bigger today than Wolverine ever was.

 

[Ogbert]

What are his powers? What will power gameplay mechanics be?

I’ll spoil the surprise.

One button will do a light attack. Another will do a strong attack. Different combinations will result in different animations. It will play like Batman.

There will be a sassy female sidekick.

And maybe a trans-man with an adamantium retractable ding dong.

 

[BlackProdigy]

so what game was he talking about?

 

[Ogbert]

so what game was he talking about?

Wolverine apparently.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Yeah, let Jaffe sit in his room and grow his beard into irrelevancy. Dude is long gone in anything industry related.

 

[T8SC]

 

[IntentionalPun]

How will an indestructible guy with blades in his hands play like an acrobat w/ gadgets and crazy web shooting abilities?

 

[Kerlurk]

nvm

 

[Topher]

How will an indestructible guy with blades in his hands play like an acrobat w/ gadgets and crazy web shooting abilities?

I think he means more like the fighting system used in Batman that Spider-Man utilized.

 

[Interfectum]

Wolverine is a huge get, especially with the pedigree behind making the game.

Honestly Sony is playing on an entirely different level than MS here. Marvel, Star Wars (even timed) and God of War are massive IP that will push PS5 sales hard. When Spider-Man 2 hits, I mean, holy shit.

 

[Papacheeks]

I'm 36, and the Avengers are far bigger today than Wolverine ever was.

Wolverine literally got multiple stand alone films? Logan which came out in 2017 was one of the most talked about Comic films?

Wolverine has mass appeal. Your telling me Black Widow is more popular than Wolverine? There is literally a bunch of animated films featuring wolverine? There's one called Hulk vs wolverine?

The fact Wolverine has had multiple successful solo films basically proves my point. Avengers as a brand is big, but by himself so is Wolverine.

To think this isn;t big or has a giant mass appeal goes against right now social metrics. Go look at view count for the Wolverine trailer for me.

Playstation channel is at 1.6 Million
IGN 3 Million

SO you tell me?

Wolverine has been big before MCU was even thing which was my point.

 

[GymWolf]

Anyone expecting this not to use a very similar combat system to Spiderman's are crazy. It's fantastic.

Hopefully they can come out with something more original than the usual free flow combat.

We don't need every melee based game to use that fucking system.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

How will an indestructible guy with blades in his hands play like an acrobat w/ gadgets and crazy web shooting abilities?

I'm sure they'll work it out but it will feel very similar in terms of basic melee strikes and enemy feedback which is a good thing.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I'm 36, and the Avengers are far bigger today than Wolverine ever was.

Wait till he enters the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We shall see then.

 

[DarthPutin]

Was trending at #1 and #2 at Twitter yesterday. I wonder if people don't realize that their tastes don't fit mainstream or are just intellectually dishonest? to pretend it isn't big.

I cant stand most of modern super-popular stuff, but I won't pretend like new Harry Potter game announcement isn't big deal just coz I can't stand this primitive trash. It will be huge and so will be this, unlike revival of your fav old obscure stuff. Which is fine to want ofc.

 

[Thabass]

Funny. I thought he was talking about KOTOR Remake lol

 

[mckmas8808]

Agree. Spider-man didn't have an ounce of originality gameplay wise, on the contrary played like a Batman Arkham rip off with painfully boring open world to tick that checkbox.

You just know you can't expect anything mind blowing from companies like that. Cool graphics and cutscenes? Most probably. Something unique gameplay wise? Pff you wish

What matters more? Fun gameplay that similar to what you've played before or average gameplay that's unique?

It's a bunch of people on GAF being full nerds about announcements like this. And I'm using nerds in a pure negative sense. It's just so stupid too. You're post is 100% on the mark!

Iron MAN hopefully. Perfect for Insomniac, they are great with weapon diveresity.

 

[NickFire]

It depends on if you talking about a game on my preferred system, or on that other one. And if it's the other one, then the answer is the opposite of what the game is.
