Leviathyn.com's Jonathan Posch looks at a canned game based on Marvel's upcoming blockbuster "The Avengers". The cancelled THQ project had leaked gameplay that was posted on Youtube showing first-person gameplay using the heroes on the comic book team.
VR arcades are now a permanent part of the entertainment space. But a few years back the king of the LBE scene was The Void.
Steve from SG dissects Square Enix's The Avengers and presents a better idea more suitable to modern day gaming.
Compared with the last big Marvel video game, Spider-Man on PS4 (which also launched in September 2018), the numbers are radically different. Avengers sold less than a third than what Spider-Man managed to do in the UK during its debut week (physical sales only).
Kind of hilarious that a exclusive, one platform, single player driven Marvel game like Spiderman managed to sell more than a huge, live service focused online multiplatform title feathering all the Avengers, and then some.
Then you have the fact the PS4 Spiderman is just a better game in everyway while the Avengers is a repetitive, grindfest that you can bored of in a few hours.
I'd like to know what the actual sales numbers are. And then compare them to Marvel Spider man and Marvel Iron Man (psvr)
A brand-new action-adventure game starring some of the most popular characters in fandom, beating a remake of an already niche pair of games. Not exactly a surprise.
I really hope that Tony Hawk sells well enough to revive the series though. I've been having an absolute blast with the game. The way Vicarious Vision have managed to capture the feel of the original is nothing short of spectacular.
I think there's been enough praise and I hope sales to at least warrant a remake of 3/4 it's actually up there in my goty so far as it's extremely addictive also so far no mtx.
I wonder whether they will go down the route of the 2012 (?) remake and provide THPS3 as DLC.
THPS4 would definitely need to be a separate release. But I'd love a THPS4 remake. I spent a lot of time on that game.
It's really because everyone wanted to hate this game just because it didn't have Thanos and everyone from the MCU as actors in the game.
I think the showcased gameplay looked to be just another on the rails action qte button masher. I've said it all along it was poorly marketed but will sell incredibly well because it's a globally popular franchise I've heard the game is good from a few friends but I was put off buying it by the advertised material that came out so far.
You should probably play it rather than parrot the opinion of those who were already set on hating it. Theres few qte. ..and definwtly not a button masher.
And rightfully so. Having a blast with Avengers, Cap is the best and was well done by these guys. The way his shields zips around never gets old. All y’all haters are missing out ! Oh well lol
like 90% of the comic book video games, and 99.9% of games bases off of movies, it would have most likely sucked anyways.
While it would have been a novelty , i can't say i'd connect and feel great about a fps marvel based game .
It's the kind of game for which you do need to see the characters live on your screen . I have no interest upon seeing like what iron man gloves shooting things or hulk shattering rocks ?
Let's start by getting basic action games and beat them up right with Marvel properties again , before getting into weird concepts
I would of played this...it something totally different and not a blatant clone. Batman own this genre right now and we need something other than clones to raise the bar. I believe this game was starting the right direction...too bad it got canned.
