I know thir going for fun ,but to me and idk why but it looks to kid like fun and im not feeling it?

Kid fun...Huh?

Well previews backed up with gameplay trailers sure make it look like alot of fun= its purpose built to be a non serious wacky type game, still given the little bit of dialogue with cursing, off color references and teddy bear destruction that we've seen so far it's hardly "kid like fun" in theme compared to games like Knack and LBP3 coming for ps4, not that there is anything wrong with kid theme games. Furthermore, there's a large open world, a variety of crazy weapons, a cool powerup combo "style" meter, lots of enemies in the world with huge bosses, fast paced traversal/platforming through the world character customization, vibrant unique color palette and online 8 player co-op mode. Sounds awesome to me.

That's the first glimpse I've had of nighttime gameplay. I enjoy the much more vibrant look of the world during the daytime. It really allows the crazy color palette to stand out. I'm a big Insomniac fan, and I am really looking forward to this game.

Insomniac Games Has To Figure Out How to Break the 'Normal' Gameplay Loop in Marvel's Wolverine

For a mutant who can't die, how will Insomniac Games adjust the healing mechanic in Marvel's Wolverine?

Knocked out is still an option. So are being captured or restrained. Then there's potential for fatigue being a factor or just putting limits on how many times you can come back from healing quickly, making it also something you upgrade throughout the game.

Really not a hard thing to gamify, honestly. Just look at the last wolverine game.

StarcrossedBits222d ago

Yeah, this is very silly. Wolverine's not invincible and he can actually die anyway. This isn't the Superman problem. The 360/PS3 game handled it great.

Deadpool is another example. That guy literally can't die because Death won't take him. But they still figured out a way to make a game around him.

Probably just have a health bar, only a tiny minority will probably be bothered by "oh but adanced healing" nonsense
Injustice was successful, people didn't cry about superman being beaten by humans

Ive seen enough to know that whatever they do will focus heavily on insane combos and dismemberments and all kinds of cool shit we wish we'd seen years ago as wolverine fans.

This is in great hands, all open world games get stale, I'm sure this game is going to be GOTY contender because of the talent behind it, but I hope its doesn't fall into any traps that make the world feel empty or underutilized.

LFG tho!! EXCITED.

BlackCountryBob222d ago

Of all the things to worry about, this feels like the lowest ebb. I’d perhaps be more concerned about how they can find enough variety in the combat mechanics to stop a 10-12 hour game from becoming a bit samey, even if they get that main combat gameplay loop to be incredibly satisfying.

Obviously Wolverines claws will remain the main combat method, but thinking about how God of War benefited from (and differentiated itself from predecessor’s) by increased verticality in combat and also ranged attack mechanics, I’d be interested to see what Insomniac can come up with.

__SteakDeck__221d ago

Jean Gray will be playable for a portion of the game. That’s how they’re going to spice it up.

Interesting to hear to views os such an experienced game developer/designer.........wha t's that, you just a random dude off the internet....
