Can't wait to get back to fighting of the Chimera and blasting your friends away online? Well you won’t have to wait too much longer because Insomniac games just released some nice little tidbits about the upcoming beta for Resistance 3; only problem is you won’t be able to play it the first month it’s live.
New reports indicate that Sony Interactive Entertainment and Insomniac Games may still have Marvel's Venom in development.
Matt Miller writes: "We interviewed the general manager of Marvel Games for insight into several of the big projects the team has been working to bring to life, and where the games division is headed next."
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.
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.
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.
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....
I wish I was family and/or friends of the staff...
Where do I sign up? :P This should be an excellent beta of an excellent game. Let the excitement begin!
August? Poooooo.
Aw, well. Much love to Insomniac, so I can wait.
1 question will this game use the auto health regen or is health pickups back?
I'm wondering whether betas are all of a sudden becoming just another part of developing a game. It used to be tricky to get into betas, now it seems every game has one. I find I don't want to participate in a beta if it is going to ruin my initial impressions of the game.
