That appears to be the idea behind a reportedly in-development Marvel game that will allegedly be a 6v6 Overwatch-style hero shooter
The dream duo: Suits that are out of touch with their customers and chasing trends with a multi year delay lol
That’s the kinda forward thinking that I like to hear! Here‘s your 200m, you have 2 years, I expect a prototype of the ingame shop by the end of next week
I mean if it actually had good diverse gameplay per character and allowed us to obliterate our surroundings I could see it having a player base for a bit. Trying to balance it would be a nightmare for whatever team was tackling it.
Any good Marvel game should definitely have heavily destructible environments.
And they need to model different kinds of destruction too, from explosions to melting to being warped or having portions teleported away.
Literally nobody asked for this.
It will likely bomb, especially if it's as crammed with microtransactions as I fully expect it will be.
Too little too late. With superhero fatigue and people not liking Overwatch has much. This game is dead on arrival.
Counterpoint, people love Overwatch, they hate what Blizzard did to it. There's an audience out there hungry for this exact product if someone can do it right (or, at least, about 20% less wrong than Blizzard).
And yet they won't do it right because everyone wants to make a game as a service these days and sell loot boxes and collectibles with season passes, special editions, early adopter bonuses, login bonuses and in-game currency. If it lacks even two the things I mentioned, I'd be surprised.
Oh, sure, there's basically zero chance that this will actually be good. But that wasn't my point. All I'm saying is that the idea of releasing an Overwatch style hero shooter right now isn't inherently stupid.
Am not the average consumer so I wouldn't know. I do miss good strategy games, turn based and story rich RPGs, etc.
Created by netease, which means it will be a piece of fucking shit flush with micro transactions designed to suck as much of your life away for as little possible effort
It’s a real shame because the premise could be awesome if done right but instead they went with the quick cash grab approach.
This is going to be straight garbage. Not only will it be overstuffed with every microtransaction possible, there's no way to balance the characters while still keeping them true to the comics. Thor vs. Mantis? Dr. Strange vs. Punisher? Maybe you can help it a bit by having some of the classes be dps/healer/tank, and constrain them somehow, but I don't see how this would ever work.
Outside of a mobile game. If they are making it a mobile game, it will make $2 billion and be a completely unbalanced piece of shit, and everyone will love it anyways and play it for the next two years.
I'm so tired that this kind of opinion has infested lemmy discourse. Reddit wasn't this bad.
Wait for shit to come out before getting mad at it. You don't have to write fan fiction on how mad you are about something just so you can get your anger based serotonin fix early.
What’s the best dopamine rush you’ve ever gotten from hating on something? How long did it last? When you looked back on it the next day, was it a fond memory for those two minutes?
Well, I really hated it when someone's intensely human matriarch from a parallel universe wouldn't give me a snowball after. Although, the dopamine could have come from the climax and not the hating...not too sure. 😂😂
Please. I'm pointing out how all you want to do is get mad about things and are in such a fervour to do so that you won't even wait for the thing to exist to get mad about it.
You want to get mad? Fine, but don't write fan fiction then get mad about that.
I'm not the original commenter with the "rage fan fiction". I'll answer my own question though. Naraka: Bladepoint. You ever play Naraka: Bladepoint? What about Last Light? I've played both, both are hot garbage and microtransaction filled. If a company has a history of putting out shoddy work, why the heck should any of us expect this new game to be any different?
Why should you expect the game … at all?
How is any expectation whatsoever helpful?
There’s a predictive model you can build and run in your brain. The result of running this model will be feelings of disgust, frustration, anger.
Do you choose to run this mental program? If so, why?
You can say the company has a history of mistakes, that's fine. That's not what op did and you know it.
Reddit was definitely worse than one person's opinion on a obvious cash grab mobile game. I'm not mad. I'm likely not the target audience for this game. If you are excited about it, be excited. Go play it. Give them your money. They will be excited too. Have fun. Spend. Enjoy.
You know people can look at the world around them, notice trends, and make fairly accurate predictions of the future based on them, yeah?
Just Hawkeye and Black Widow. They don't have powers, they're just good at their jobs. It's already silly in they other games they appear but at least there they don't fight each other.
There's going to be some silly background story that somehow levels the playing field, I'm guessing...
This is a solved problem in the comic book digital media universe: anyone with insufficient powers is given a robot suit to bring them up to par.
Batman … in a robot suit. Spider man … in a robot suit. The Punisher … in a robot suit. Tony Stark … in a robot suit.
I would have been hyped for this before the time of predatory microtransactions. Now I'm just bummed to see how shit it'll be
Tangentially related: Gigantic is coming back, so those of us who missed it might finally get to play it.
Hell yes. Any time I play over watch I think “this reminds me of a marvel movie battle scene”
