Star Wars has never really been that violent. I dont even remember there actually being blood in a Star Wars movie. Lightsabers are only useful for blocking lasers and blocking other light sabers.
I feel like insomniac wouldn’t even pitch a wolverine game if it wasn’t gonna be violent. Especially with it existing alongside ghost of tsushima, god of war, and TLOU
First film, but since then, they have sabers cauterize the wounds for film rating. Hell, they even had Anakin lop off Dooku's head and it rolled.
13 Times Wolverine Comics Were Super Violent
Logan is a violent R-rated movie. This isn't a surprise since the comics have had pretty gruesome moments over the years.

There is many more times than that as well. Wolverine isn't the mass appeal for children like Spider-Man is, he has always been the more mature gruff and violent appeal.

The violence will probably be in line with the previous wolverine game, but I'm afraid they'll make the combat slow and heavy, just to highlight the violence/gore cinematics; wolverine is a pretty fast fighter, so I'd like it to be more like ng2.

I don't think they will. I think they'll have him vicious and fast.

On the other hand, many sony games are adult games that childs can't buy and they still sell a lot.
So who knows...

Frankly I think they have higher sales potential by targeting adults.
The younger demographic dominates sandboxy games. Not cinematic action games. And if a 15-year-old wants Wolverine an age rating isn't going to stop him anyway

He has unbreakable razor sharp claws chances of violence are very high.
Even if he didnt use his claws hes skeleton is lined with metal....his punches break faces.
But seriously Wolverine in his own books and X-Force books is pretty damn violent.
In the Xmen books dare I say he is a bit less violent.

I think a hyper violent game would sell better to teenagers than a moderate one.
In a world where GTA5 is one of the best selling games of all time isonmiac would be mad to tone down the violence.
Frankly there doesn't seem much point in having claws if you can't cut shit up.

Insomniac seemed to be pretty on the ball about what there audience wanted with spiderman. So I think there probably aware there audience want this for Wolverine.

One can hope. He was savage in the comics, but who knows how much Marvel/Disney will want him neutered for games.
They didn't seem to mind Logan, so fingers crossed.

My biggest concern is gameplay variety. Is there likely to good enemy variety?
Does wolverine have other powers besides claws and regenerating health?
Is there much potential to upgrade him through the course of a game?

More attacks and finishers, more combos, outfit unlocks, increased stamina-regen, increased senses
They dont gotta go deep rpg-lite with it….it will be like TLOU

Insomniac have never done violent bloody games before but neither did naughty dog before last of us.

Beyond claws, super strength and a healing factor, Wolverine is a master of many many martial arts and forms of killing....he has lived for centuries.
Assuming budget and gameplay allows he could literally bust out a Katana and start kendo'ing the fuck outta everyone if need be.
But realistically it would probably getting new moves and combos.
Extend berserk mode yada yada.
They dont need to go too ham on what Wolverine can do.
The concept of playing Wolverine in a game basically sells itself.

I remember this trailer for resistance 3 back in the day.
I thought the death animations looked satisfyingly bloody. Sadly I think it was toned down for the final release

Agreed I don't think if needs much maybe something on the level of ninja gaiden or god hand.
Enemy variety is important for me although it seems they pull alot from the comics

Hes an Xman so they can pull pretty much any of the Xmen rogues gallery of "organizations" to be fodder class enemies and also more specific villains for him like Gorgon, Lady Deathstrike, Nimrod (Bastion), Omega Red, Sabertooth, Madam Hydra as bosses. Off head all those enemies would fight really really differently and even the organizations have different "classes" of characters within them.
This should be easy work for them.
Please bring Gorgon ive wanted him live action for so long, but Ill take Videogame form as well.

Yeah. Insomniac are usually pretty good at cranking out games on time, but it's gonna be at least a year or two after Spider-Man 2.

I dont worry about whether Insomniac will want to make Wolverine violent, more that Disney won't allow it to beStar Wars has never really been that violent.

Thats what i mean though, i don’t think they’d even push for the game to be made if it wasn’t gonna be violent
Also, its not as if disney currently has an image of wolverine they have to withhold. Insomniacs wolverine will most likely be a onscreen return of the character

Moon Knight is a very violent comic you can see how lacking it is in that in the new show. Very sanitised
I think anyone expecting hyper real violence for Wolverine is setting themselves up to be disappointed

They did. They even remastered it for PS4/Xbox One IIRC> It was a fun time.

Hmm, ok, but is it any good? There have been very few even decent comic book games until recently.
Edit: Seems very average. And man, that Deadpool is weirdly buff! I guess I'm just used to him being Reynolds skinny, but that massive torso feels wrong lol.

It certainly isn't a AAA title by any means, but for a budget A to AA title, it was a lot of fun! I had a lot of good laughs and the gameplay worked well for what it was. One of those 'Swimming in 7s' kind of games.

Yeah it's got blood but i meant more the cutting of limbs and decapitation and stuff like that. Most games have blood effects but very few games are straight up violent and brutal.

I’d guess similar to Ghost of Tsushima.
Plenty of blood, stabbing, slicing arms off, etc.. but is not particularly gore-y.
Lethal, mature, violent, but within reason.

They do have the know-how and the tech, the only question is whether IG/Sony will want to make a rated M or rated T game.

Marvel's Wolverine benefits nothing from being a T rated game. if insomniac games is wanting to grant or give players what they deemed in one of their job/ads. the "quintessential" logan/wolverine experience. then gore/blood is apart of that. it's what wolverine is capable of, there is a reason why he says "I'm best at what I do, and what I do isn't very nice" meaning He's going to rip, tear, shred anything in his path like tender cooked steak. his claws can slice through almost anything and everyone like butter. I always found the previous X-men movies and the lack of blood or atleast dismemberment off-putting. granted I know that they wanted a much more family friendly audience to watch these movies.

They arent basing this game on X Lives and X Deaths of Wolverine. Come on man, thats like 3 games worth of backstory just to understand whats going on.
A flannel top and a hat is basically Wolverines staple uniform when he isnt hanging out with the Xmen.
His lumberjack look is his most famous none uniform costume....until the movies he wasnt really a tight leather jacket guy.

Is sabertooth in the comics way better than movie sabertooth? Because the power of just being agile, aggressive and strong are not enough to even make logan sweat in theory...Moon knight is on disney plus, this has nothing to do with being on a child friendly platform

I mean the timing of it and that specific color combination is not a mere coincidence imo. They could have had Logan wearing like 50 diffenret outfits, I’d even expect him more so to be wearing his fur lined leather jacket. I think this was intentional
Sabertooth is just much stronger than Logan, in every sense. Its like the difference between spider-man and venom, except sabertooth has no real weakness.
Also i dont see how they could be going for a teen rating where in the little teaser has someone approaching him with a knife. To me, nothing there signifies a game that is not gonna be violent. You can’t really get away with claws, knifes, and that kind of stuff in games today just not being violent.

Light flashes instead of blood splatters.
I hate our era.
There's no way this game will be even half as good as the old Wolverine.

FYI.
He doesnt actually wear the red flannel in X Lives 3.
He fights Romulus who is whole other can of worms to explain, Omega Red and Rasputin are a big part of the issue.......they arent basing it on X Lives/X Deaths.
Further he only has the flannel in X Lives 1......during one of the "flashbacks" literally a few panels worth because in that timeline he just so happens to be still lumberjacking about without his metal claws and hes trying to protect baby Professor X....the trailer already shows us he has his metal claws in the game.
The whole X Lives/X Deaths is him time travelling through different lives....why is he travelling through his different lives?....well thats a whole games worth of exposition.
So yes it is just a coincidence he is wearing a red flannel in the trailer and lumberjacks are known to wear red flannels.
If he was wearing a white and black uniform you could say its def an X-Force story....a red flannel is just what lumberjacks wear.
And yes Sabertooth is basically a better Wolverine without the metal claws.
The fact he can beat Wolverine sans metal tells you how much of a beast Sabertooth actually is.
Jak is Naughty Dog.
