Marvel’s Wolverine Will be Semi-Open World, Targeting Fall 2024 Launch – Rumour​

according to Jeff Grubb​

 

[The Stig]

Not gonna lie. I was already somewhat hyped due to A - The developer and B - Wolverine.

This news is just making me more tumescently turgid.

 

[mrmustard]

Some Ninja Gaiden like dismemberment and brutality would be nice.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Semi open world = meh

M rating and violence = yes

 

[Punished Miku]

Good. This is my most anticipated Sony 1st party title. Was hoping for exactly that.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Cant wait for this.

 

[Sentenza]

Who was developing this, again?

 

[GymWolf]

This is when the ice team should share tlou2 gore system with insomniac to improve on it.

Hopefully it's gonna be better than tsushima and days gone shitty gore.

Semi open world is nice, so like ragnarock?

 

[Hobbygaming]

Insomniac is gonna knock this out of the park for sure

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Alright, this is officially my most hyped game...until Death Stranding 2 blows me away or an MGS remake is announced.

I think what's helping is the rush of nostalgia I just felt, remembering my hype for the admittedly mediocre "X2: Wolverine's Revenge".

 

[lughnasadh123]

Can I drive a limo for a side hustle?

 

[NickFire]

After reading Fall 2024, I take back all question and doubt regarding Grubb's accuracy.

Please sir, tell me more I wish to hear.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I have high hopes for this one.

 

[Turk1993]

 

[Kacho]

If Sony puts out a slim I’d grab one for this…probably. That Wolverine Origins game (by Raven?) was legit.

 

[balls of snow]

They are positioning it to be like the old god of wars.

 

[DeepEnigma]

According to Grubb, lmao.

It was in Insomniac's own job hiring tweet in 2021.




Damned clown.

 

[Hobbygaming]

And being PS5 only

Hyped

 

[Represent.]

Ill copy and paste my OP from the thread I made

Bring that shit on. I was scared this was going to be another generic, lifeless, repetitive open world that casuals jerk off to. He mentions Visceral combat, including human dismemberment. I expect this to be the most violent and hardcore looking combat since TLOU 2.



All said on this stream, its live, cant time stamp.

 

[ANDS]

I hope we get the legit version of this character and not the GQ-Grizzled version that Jackman (expertly I'll say) played for so long. Wolverine is short, doughy and ugly as shit, but rugged and smells of muskrat scent so he's a hit with the ladies.

. . .and I want violence, not gore. . .like the violence of GOT.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Gota admit wolverine are the scariest x men mutant (because of his weapon)

On second though hes my second scariest

Number one always reserved for juggernaut

Didn't Sony say their studios coordinate and share tools and knowledge when applicable? Could be pretty feasible then. I can't wait to tear someone in half as Logan again.

He better fuckin be short though. Fuck tall Logan, that's a lie. He's a bite sized bad ass, making him tall actively detracts from the character.

 

[NickFire]

According to Grubb, lmao.

Damned clown.

Yeah the dismemberment was already known. As was Fall 2024. But it's Wolverine bro. Let this man reassure us it will launch on time. It's Wolverine, you know?

(

Spoiler

I might be the clown on this, but Wolverine is and will always be my favorite, so I'll take any confirmation bias I can get

 

[DeepEnigma]

Nah, you're not the clown. Grubb is for acting like he has some inside scoop that has been known from the horse's mouth.

And agreed. More stoked about a current-gen only Wolverine game (hopefully with lots of physics in bar fights, etc.) than Spidey.

 

[solidus12]

I’m ready to pee from my butt, Grubb

 

[onQ123]

I'm thinking this will be a dark game

In theory yes, in theory...

 

[Bo_Hazem]

We gonna eat good.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Anything less than the thread title suggests would be a dumb game.

 

[Ezekiel_]

according to Jeff Grubb

 

[SlimySnake]

Semi open world = meh

M rating and violence = yes

Semi open world is perfect if its done like GOW.

Lets just hope its more like the crater level than Midgard and Vanaheim. Because those levels were pretty trash compared to how dynamic and organic the crater level felt to explore.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Getting a feeling we are getting a game that will have a lot in common with the newer God of War games. I don’t know if that’s good or bad though.

 

[GymWolf]

Ill copy and paste my OP from the thread I made

We can only hope.

I really don't see wolverine beating tlou2 in sheer realistic violence tbh.
Like cutting mofos in half sure, but not with enemies doing gargles while dying or the violent microdetails that make tlou2 so good for us psycho gamers.

Happy to be disproved but i don't think that super realistic violence is in insomniac dna.

 

[Tripolygon]

I'm thinking this will be a dark game

I was told by a trusted sauce that Wolverine is going to be featured heavily in the game.

Spoiler: trust the

sauce

 

[TintoConCasera]

Don't care about Marvel but I gotta say, they are making the right move. There are already a lot of Marvel games out there so having one that focuses on the mature audience is a good idea.

It also fits I guess. Not having it here would be like having a Star Wars game without dismemberment... oh no.

 

[Puscifer]

Some Ninja Gaiden like dismemberment and brutality would be nice.

All I want for it is to be as varied and bloody as the raven software game. Far be it from me to actually say it's true but a buddy of mine works for insomniac and I noticed he once liked several post about the idea. Could be nothing but could be something

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

gameplay when?!

Don't let Grubb see that.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

I hope this isn't just another Batman Arkham combat game with Ubi open world elements. I'd like to see something new. Shoot even if they go with a more sifu mechanic. Something differentiate from other contemporary Super hero games.

I don’t think his height has ever been consistent, even in the comics. Cyclops is meant to be 6 foot 3

 

[Rush2112]

Still waiting for a nice mature rated punisher game with a decent plot.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm expecting Arkham Asylum. More stealth. Similar combat to Spider Man. But would be happy to have it be more varied than that.

 

[SSfox]

Those lowtier leakers...

Basically just saying what everyone guessed already

 

[MMaRsu]

Lets hope its at least as good as that last Wolverine game which was pretty badass

 

[Mister Wolf]

Good. Better be some ninjas to carve up. Also, it's not just about Wolverine butchering them. He needs to show visible damage on him that would kill most people like parts of his bones showing while healing rapidly.

 

[poodaddy]

I hope we get the legit version of this character and not the GQ-Grizzled version that Jackman (expertly I'll say) played for so long. Wolverine is short, doughy and ugly as shit, but rugged and smells of muskrat scent so he's a hit with the ladies.

All correct.... except the doughy bit. I've been reading Wolverine and X Men comics for over 30 years, he is absolutely not, and has never been, doughy. If anything he's always been portrayed as so incredibly muscular that it seems odd considering he pretty much just eats salami, smokes, and drinks lol, but hey comics are rad.

 

[CGNoire]

Awesome. Origins game kicked ass.

Bet this gets Cross Promoted with DeadPool 3.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Fall 2022: GoW:R
Fall 2023: Spider-Man 2
Fall 2024: Wolverine

Wow.

 

[feynoob]

Hopefully we get more gameplay like this one.

 

[Robb]

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing it!
