I surprisingly haven't see HeisenbergFX4 in this thread. What's his opinion about the Wolverine they showed?

HeisenbergFX4 HeisenbergFX4 I summon thee. What do you think about this game now?

If you want my honest opinion and not necessarily saying this is a bad thing but it looked too much like a Spiderman reskin

It looks like it could be a lot of fun for a while but might get too repetitive

Its likely a day one for me though
 
I bought all their Spider-Man games but played each one maybe only 2-3 hours.
Nothing wrong with them I just don't like Spider-Man very much.

But I'm gonna play the shit outta this one 😃

Naw, that goes hard, bars and all that. Doubly so since it's Nightcrawler and has the whole religious angle too.

I could quote some WH40k quotes to you, but I think you'd find those equally gay, for some there is just no hope.

I'll admit i know nothing of the context of the sentence.
the way it was worded pushed me to respond that way the same way twinkies pushed that cop to murder long ago.

Tho if you really want to impress me just quote baldur's gate, Minsc. And don't forget your space hamster.
 
X-Men always felt like the Star Trek of superheroes. It was trying to be a bit more intelligent. I was hoping for a bit of a revival.

X-Men 97 is fire, and did really well with fans, and reactors. Second season is due out in a month, best revival we have gotten in decades.

Better than almost every single movie too, except maybe 1 or 2. And best use of mutant power bar none. The combos they pull off in '97 are unrivaled in all the previous shows/movies.

Also compare this Jean Grey to 97's Jean Grey:

If you're going to put her in all black, at least you can make it look good.

So there IS dismemberment after all? I like that. I do wish the blood didn't look so...I don't know, off? It's bright red. I know, not a deal breaker by any means but still. And hopefully something can be done about the lighting, maybe it's a time of day thingy? Plenty other games have that too.

Is there anyone in here that still denies Sweet Baby Inc?
Probably abolished the term because it uses "men".
Anyone who expects this to be a male focused game will be in for a huge dissapointment. I garantee Logan will be lecture and roasted in every opportunity.

X-men franchise is doomed.

People sharing this are just proving they don't know anything about the Marvel Universe.

Nothing suggests "Men" was removed from "X-Men."

You guys are assuming it was removed just because it says 'Team X,' but they're a completely different team. Wolverine was part of that team before he ever joined the X‑Men.

Wolverine and Sabretooth were members of Team X in the comics, and in this game, they're allies as well. That means this is NOT a renamed X-Men team.
 
Honestly, i dont know if I can sit through a beat em up style game where instead of beating up your opponents you're impaling their skulls non stop a dozen times a minute for 10-15 hours.

As far as Team X, the original Team X was from the 1960s but now its contemporary i.e. modern times.

I'm hoping it's basically Bayonetta, which would be pretty similar to what you're describing, only the 10-15 hours is split between cinematics, puzzles/exploration and combat+upgrades.

Kind of hard to stay still.

I mean for Spider-Man the camera is a lot more distant that it is with Wolverine when it comes to battles. Not saying that can't change later, but I think the devs want you more close up FOV wise for maximum impact. That's just one example of a difference I see.

One similarity I would say is the lunging. That def reminds me of Spider-Man.

Maybe dig a little deeper than that? Even the first comment there will have you thinking a bit critically - While yes, Wolverine is 100s of years old (ok, actually 150-190 years old, give or take), and has traveled to Japan and fought in many wars - Jean Grey wouldn't be an adult before the X-Men were created.

If they want something before X-Men, Jean Grey shouldn't be there.

This is just more bs add to the excuse list.

Right, if you go by the comics, the very first issue has her joining the X-Men as a teenager. Literally issue 1.

I mean Team X is fucking canon isnt it??

I remember watching Xmen Animated Series and it has the backstory for Wolverine's Team X etc..


Whats this nonsense about SBI being the onus for changing Xmen into Team X??? LOL

This is what google says:

Why Jean Was Not in Team X
Team X was a covert, Cold War-era CIA black ops unit active during the 1960s. It was composed of ruthless, weaponized mutants who underwent memory manipulation and genetic testing as part of the Weapon Plus/Weapon X program. [1, 2]
  • The Roster: The team consisted of gritty mercenaries like Wolverine (Logan), Sabretooth (Victor Creed), Maverick, Silver Fox, and John Wraith. [1, 2, 3]
  • The Persona: Jean Grey—a traditional, heroic superhero and a schoolteacher at heart—is fundamentally incompatible with a government death squad.

Was She Alive During Team X?
Yes, Jean Grey was alive during the decades Team X was operating, but she was just a child and later a young teenager. Due to the sliding timescale of comic books and the artificial aging/slowed aging of Weapon X test subjects, the timelines overlap cleanly:
  • The Overlap: While Wolverine and Sabretooth were running secret operations in places like Berlin and Cuba, Jean Grey was a young girl growing up in New York.
  • The Age Gap: Because Wolverine possesses a mutant healing factor that slows his aging to a crawl, he is roughly a century older than Jean, allowing him to be an adult soldier during the Cold War while Jean was still a kid. [1]
By the time Jean Grey grew up and joined the X-Men as a founding member, Team X had already disbanded. Decades later, a freed Wolverine would eventually wander into Xavier's school and meet Jean for the first time

Yes, obviously. There's a huge difference between a skilled game and press square to win combat, though. Maybe when you're mentally older you'll figure that one out. Or not. We'll see.

Hmm, that's a good point. Team X predates Jean Grey so something isn't adding up.

SBI possibly being involved here is definitely a concern either way.

Because it absolutely is, but worse because in some places it looks like it's on rails, like a bunch of QTEs masquerading as "gameplay"
 
Pre woke times would have plastered X-Men tag all over their marketing because the name carries weight, even if it had not made any lore sense.

Removal of X-Men tag definitely isn't for the love of lore and accuracy, like suits would want to lose money because of lore accuracy. Its definitely a conscious decision due to SBI etc.

Call me crazy but I don't think ANY hero/lead/anti-hero/protagonist/whatever the fuck you wanna call it should be gutting women like that. They are like a quarter the threat of their male counterparts at best and I think a light bonk on the head to usher them into nappy time is more appropriate.

They said the x-men don't exist yet in this universe, the leaked roadmap has an x-men game planned.

Thing is, Wolverine has a such long and rich history and associated characters to draw from, that I wouldn't have given it a second thought if the game didn't feature the X-men. It could've made all of the narrative sense.

But they don't exist yet? Weak.

Putting Jean out front and center and for him to call her "Red" implies a shared history...from the X-men.

Not that surprised, though, given this is the same group that gave us Harry Osborne as Venom.

Looks like QTE wolverine, and not fun to play.

Sometimes people just want to be mad man. And if false narratives get them there they'll use them.
Click to expand...

What false narratives are those? Team X was in the Cold War from the 60s didn't exist while Jean was an adult. Apparently this game is retconning the entire history of X-Men. Which I guess is fine if it's what they want to do, but I don't think it'll please many fans.

For Jean to be an adult would mean Xavier found her and started the X-Men, so to say X-Men does not exist, just means multi-verse BS. And I don't know about you, 99% of what's wrong with plots these days generally can be blamed on authors using alternate universes and multi-verse plot lines to have whatever they want happen. Like in the FF7 remakes for example, people hate the whispers and that the game is an alternate universe of the original.

And what's with Jean's look? My daughter agreed her costume was horrible, and her favorite outfit for Jean is the pixie one with the green skirt, which you can unlock in MUA3 (among other games). I guess Wolverine can wear his outfit, but Jean can't. I just said let's hope they have DLC and you can get nicer outfits unlocked.

Nah, you're still just pressing buttons. That is all you are doing. Pressing more than a single button, or pressing them in a "specified" sequence, which is timed, does not make it complex or "skillful", I mean, sure you can press a button/set of buttons faster than the next person (wooo!). Like it or not, you are simply pressing buttons. Can't make it sound better, sorry!

Everything you said is correct. The timeline doesn't make sense. I agree. I also agree that Jean's outfit is lame. But you also mentioned the possibilities of multi-verse stuff and insomniac doing some retconning. Those are valid reasons to be angry if you don't like that. I'm primarily speaking of the belief that the entire thing is because of SBI. For people thinking that, where is their proof?

Don't get me wrong. I'm annoyed by SBI like the next guy but let's get proof before bringing out the pitchforks.
