Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
At the very least, because of the games linear nature, they're free to explore multiple different locations and biomes, instead of an almost exact same copy of Manhatten for the 5th time.

I don't care about something as banal as the bangability of the characters. I'm more concerned that the cinematic violence animations are going to become repetitive after the first dozen times seeing them. I want to want this game but I probably won't buy until I can see some player feedback.

Looked great to me and at worse 8/10 based on the trailer.
10/10 for me would be allowing the player to go full silent mode (assassin)in most stages/levels to then build up to full action.
Think X-men on snes, mutant apocalypse with Logan scaling up walls using his claws.

I liked that bit, enemies should be terrified of fighting wolverine.

nailed. as popular as some marvel characters've become, spidey will always be in a 'wholesome family entertainment' class of his own. this game's clearly directed at wolverine fans, so not nearly as inherently widely appealing...yeah gameplay look even more basic than spidey, and the gore is not really the best, a lot of blood but barely any decapitation of vertical body slices or cutting limbs except maybe one robotic leg...
The good amount of blood and the good looking ragdoll are the best praise i have at the moment
I mean if you are not crazy about the wolverine character, the game lose a lot of its selling points, the trailer really doesn't excel at anything for now.

That is the funny part. He joined over a decade before me lol. But that isn't saying much cause I was lurking here even way before that.

So thats why i dont see any dismembered limbs and decapitation on the new trailer. Maybe it has something to do with showing the trailer in cinemas without parental rating.

Looks incredibly fun... But the setting / environment, that construction site looked terribly bland. Bad choice for the 1st official gameplay reveal.
Reminds me when CDPR began the marketing push with CP2077 and decided to focus all the gameplay demos on Pacifica, arguably the worst. most uninteresting place in the whole city.

They even went with the coward half-cyborg enemies and they cant still get on par with punisher ps2 level of gore, hell, ps1 thrill kill level of gore...

Because they're clearly sourcing different looks from different media for outfits. Previously I brought up that Jean Gray's look is from X3 the movie. One could even argue Wolverine's main suit is directly referencing Deadpool and Wolverine (especially the mask and eyes). The Sentinel they briefly showed does not look like the traditional one.
They literally did this same exact thing with their Spiderman games. For example Doc Ock referenced the Spiderman 2 movie version moreso than the cartoon or comic.

Nothing that shown off was impressive. At all. It was already stuff we've known about for a long time, or they just showed off what is essentially the same tropey Sony gameplay we've seen for the past decade but with swapped characters/genders.
What was i supposed to be gushing over again?
To be honest most of the game seemed to be QTE auto-animated.

I love Wolverine Origins (2008 Ravensoft) but even it cant escape wolverines limitations. He only has claws, doesnt use gun, heals so fast that he is nearly invincible so this leads to natural very repepetive gameplay. I knew way before this trailer this would be the largest hurdle for insominac to overcome and was almost certain they wouldnt. It is what it is.
On a side note I also kinda think this issue extends to pretty much all the xmen. They just dont have enough variety of moves for there own solo games. They should really consider going the forgtotten realms demonstone route and have a hot key to switch between x-men on the fly so you can organize group dynamics during a fight if they ever make an x-men game.
It wouldnt be a big issue as much if the devs werent such woke pussies and maybe for once maned up and apprached her about changing her hair so she actually lookes different from all the other games that she is in. Dont get me started on how inapropriate some of the casting they have given her like here in wolverine where you have a 65 year old woman playing a young action hero.

Maybe because this is mostly a shallow gameplay slice, but I actually want to see some awesome scripted scenes and story in this game, so hopefully a normal trailer will appeal to me a lot more.
Basically the perfect X-Men game would just feel like reading an arc of the comics, fights sprinkled between engaging story, with tons of great shocks (main characters dying, switching sides, etc). I think X-Men '97 gets it right, mostly, and they are just speed running the comic arcs, but that's what I love about X-Men.
It may be that a solo Wolverine game is a lost cause though, you could be right, his kit kinda is broken and boring. It's his aura farming and disregard to play by the rules and his way or the highway attitude, along with his in-team fights (Charles Xavier, Cyclops, etc) that make his bits good.
And the OG theme. Where's the riffs from it, it's so good! The music really didn't catch my ear either in this gameplay footage.
Basically the game really needs to be 50% batshit insane twists and ridiculous fights between mutants and sentinels, and 50% plot, but plot that can at least give great one-liners every 5 minutes or less, another thing X-Men '97 had down.
"Most other nations don't allow a terrorist to be their leader."
"And yet, so many allow their leaders to be terrorists."
"We shall not spend our days wondering if we could have saved more."
"There is no love without sin... for love is best measured in what we forgive."
^ god damn, that's above average, actually good there
That's what I want. Kick-ass music, a few great one-liners every story bit, and super-epic action bits.
Its not properly shaded and fhe metaball simulation for th liquid while impressive is low fidelity in density giving it a jelly like consistancy.
Also the cutscene are clearly using a higher fidelity (most likely precanned) simulation.

This makes no sense. Why would they hide one of the best visual mechanics of the game?
Dismemberment would completely change the feel of this game, I hope it's true.

So let me get this straight:
The outfit doesn't completely deteriorate (missing ear piece, fully torn, bones exposed) until Logan reaches 0 health…which immediately prompts you to tap square and instantly undo all the cosmetic damage?
Why?? You should be seeing this level of degradation right before you hit zero health. Saving it until a fail state only for it to magically mend itself in two seconds is immersion breaking.
We should finish a battle, look at Logan and relish in how torn up he is as a reflection of how tension-filled the battle was. I just can't understand saving all that for a fail-state and then undoing it two seconds later. It's lame on two levels.

Your correct. Its definatly lower fidelity than the 2008 game. Looks super pre canned totally noticable as well. Sad.

Game looks surprisingly good. I like the blood, but somehow wish it was even more graphic — what the hell is wrong with me?
I do hope we don't get increasingly strange enemies with insane abilities to present a "challenge" to Wolverine.
That's the danger of making a game around someone as durable as Wolverine. You start with brutal, grounded combat, and by the third act you're somehow fighting a 90-foot mutant death robot with laser eyes because the game has run out of believable ways to threaten you.

Reserving judgement until I can see the dismemberment and full gore in action.

Thanks mate, this gives me a lil hope. Now I just have to overcome the ugly female companions, so I can enjoy this in a way. I hope they don't shove as another forced MJ like sections in this.
