I came here to bash the game because of that, but after reading the article, it makes a lot of sense.

I'm a bit disappointed tbh. They make a good reason, but it was great in one. IF I wanted a real game the rank option was always there. oh well I guess

DoomeDx5465d ago

So they take away fun, in order to keep the leaderboards cheat-free?
Like Killzone 3?

InactiveUser5465d ago (Edited 5465d ago )

What do you mean cheat-free leaderboards? Custom games don't count toward Ranked stats in Resistance.

Funneling more players into Ranked is a good reason. (Although they made Ranked highly uncompetitive)

The reasoning about the room names is ridiculous. What's the difference if the game is named "Free Beer" or "*$$$%%%%**#$"? Neither tells you the game settings. You search for the game settings you're looking for and those games pop up. The name of the room makes zero difference. It's their own fault for sorting games by the name instead of amount of players in the match like they did in R:FoM.

This is true. I remember a bunch of "§§§§ §§§§§ " rooms and things like that because people wanted their lobbies to be at the top.

-Mezzo-5466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

I have this Pre-Ordered & cannot wait for it to come out.

Just 1 question though, does R3 has dedicated Servers just like the Previous 2.

MintBerryCrunch5466d ago

"cannot wait for it to come out & into my PS3"

soooo erotic

HeavenlySnipes5466d ago

they should have left them the same. Just give the unranked custom games, name templates. (___ only, or Free for all etc..).

This is going to get the kind of backlash KZ3 got for removing server lists

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.

StarcrossedBits259d 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.

jambola259d ago

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

Juancho51259d ago

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.

BlackCountryBob258d 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__258d ago

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

LoveSpuds258d ago

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