That seems awfully short for a game that has this kind of scope, was expecting at least 30 plus hours and maybe 40-50 with side quests. That definitely changes my mind, I'll wait for a discount to purchase.
I'm back, bitches!

I hope there's a lot more variety to the cars / npcs though ... having the same models appear in quick succession or having copies walk side by side is the most immersion breaking thing. I remember in cyberpunk recently I had 4 copies of the same npc walk side by side and it immediately took me out out of the immersion.
In the spidey video, in one scene I noticed the same white van like 5-6 of them in traffic. Hopefully things like that are the exception.

Yeah boys I appreciate your recommendation to check out the DF video but I wanna go in as blind as I possibly could. I'll take your word that there's a significant improvement though because from the small previews and gifs it definitely looks like quite the step up to me. Now imagine actually playing it on your big screen. Damn.
I really hope the pro is a thing, imagine cranking out the resolution mode with full RT and 60fps.

Insomniac are mental.
Sony paid just 230 million for the studio ... Easily the best studio under sony this gen and compared to any other studio this gen overall in terms of output + consistency.

I think insomniac is the best studio on this business
I also think it's a shame Sony has them pumping out Spiderman content instead of making new stuff.
Xbox let them go nuts and do whatever and we got sunset overdrive which was imo the best Xbox exclusive of that gen lol

inb4 another marvel game, but Wolverine has never been given a decent shot (except for that surprisingly decent Origins game) .... I trust Insomniac more than any other studio to do Wolverine right. They even said it's gonna be rated r.
Agree though, I'd like to see a new IP from them this gen.
Wolverine 2024
New IP 2026-2027
Spiderman 3 for 2028 to close out the gen
Wolverine 2 releases 2029-2030 as part of a cross gen PS5-PS6 title.
If any studio can do this, it's insomniac lol.

There was a huge difference between all the pg13 Wolverine movies and then the rated r Logan. Wolverine is just not a character who can avoid ultra violent bloody fights. Logan was the only movie where he really felt like comic Wolverine.
Spiderman = haha knocked the bad guy out and took him to jail time to go kiss Mary Jane and go to prom
Wolverine = cut his head off and covered in blood off now time to go drink beer
Idk my comic book bias comes into play too much for these games. Read way too many comics growing up so I get annoyed when characters aren't portrayed well. Wolverine is a prime example because it's hard to market ultra violence these days so, he often gets nerfed or a pg13 makeover.

That’s according to Giant Bomb reporter Jeff Grubb, who shared supposed details on the in-development project during a live stream on Thursday.
“Hard R is what they’re going for… that’s one of the concepts that I’ve heard,” Grubb said. “I think an M-rated Wolverine could work, I think an M-rated superhero game could work, and this is probably the right character.”
He later added: “They will [also] avoid having any links or anything that evokes the Fox movies – they want it to stand on its own. I was trying to nail down the setting and have heard it will start before he joins the X-Men, which also makes sense for a Wolverine game…

Hopefully they can make it super gnarly ... I wanna see Insomniacs take on that body injury system done in dead island 2.
Only thing just makes me wonder is how much of a say Disney has in regards to the violence since they're pretty kiddy focused phgts. Insomniac can definitely do horror / gore though because they did the resistance game .... Either way, I'm sure it'll will be the definitive Wolverine game regardless of the violence or lack of it.

Damn @ that gif. It's disturbing to me how realistic I thought the original looked and then SM2 blows it out of the water.
Also, even though he's sitting at the exact same spot it's weirding me how the perspective in SM2 looks like you're much higher up and would be scarier to jump off. I don't know if it's because they added far more verticality in the background or the lighting but it's definitely tricking the eye.
Insomniac GOAT
