Not true, Ragnarok had that first gameplay trailer way before Horizon Forbidden West was released, for instance. Wolverine is releasing in fall 2026 (as per the latest leaks), so it's not weird for it to be shown now. I agree that Intergalactic is weird, but that's not what the rumor is saying.

Yeah but all of that was prior to 2023. I'm referring to SIE's more current way of doing things as established going back to early 2023. They've generally moved away from going deep into showing off multiple AAA 1P games simultaneously.

The reason for moving away from it, at least the way some people state, is rather dumb IMO. It's not like their AAA in PS4 gen didn't deliver on what was promised. They didn't have the problem Xbox has had this gen (prior to acquiring Zenimax & ABK, tho it still persists even after that i.e Perfect Dark getting cancelled).

No? Latest documents had Venom as a 2027 release.

Are those the Insomniac ransomware hack documents? Because some of that stuff is probably outdated.

How do you know that it's not there? You're acting as if the entire list was leaked and it's Wolverine and Intergalactic, when in reality the article is just about Wolverine only.

If it mentioned Wolverine & Intergalatic, why would it have not mentioned Saros? That's more of a known quantity at this point than Wolverine I'd argue, in terms of we know for sure when it's coming out, we have some interviews on the concept of the game, etc.

Dude c'mon, this was over three years ago

Logan riding around on a chopper is already a huge step to being a win ala Days Gone. I can't imagine much really taking place inside a huge city like Spider-man did. Maybe a logging town around a forest, probably a military installation, and my personal guess of seeing the Professor X Mansion. How they connect...*shrug*

It's time to put something, anything, out there for people to get excited for beyond a GTA release. They really need some solid titles to push sales beyond what they've been. Hopefully it's good.

It'd actually be refreshing if the game isn't open-world IMO.

At least we get the Marathon rereveal...

Welcome back!

Spoiler

I missed the bad takes on GAAS. We need those

I got a Marathon thread cooking right now. I need marinate on it a while longer before I post it and everyone boos.

I do kinda want something open just for bike play though that's not ultimately a big deal. Something more akin to TLoU2 or GoW would also work with giving more open structures without being too "corridor" linear.

 

[firegamer273]

wasn,t there rumor of a venom game coming out before wolverine?

 

[mitch1971]

no need to wonder. we already have the leak.

They changed the character model/face model from a somewhat feminine looking woman below to this monsters ball big boned bitch mid development.

So from Emma Stone to Emma Stoned.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

I've said it before, but I doubt this will be open world like many people expect. Maybe wide linear. Seems like there are missions that take place in different biomes and cities.

Opening scene..

Wolverines kneels gently over jean grey, as she sleeps..looking at her with love as the middle blade slides slowly into her throat..

"Sorry love" he says...

Dude c'mon, this was over three years ago

You're just looking for patterns on things where they are not. "Oh, but that was three years ago!" is not a good argument, as opposed to the fact that this is something that they have already done before. You know what else they have done before as well? General September broadcasts, from every year since 2019, and before that with the pre-TGS press conferences as well.
The leak was only about Wolverine, the last part of the article was pure speculation.
As for the documents, why do you think Venom was canned, then? Precisely because you thought of it as a 2025 game BECAUSE of the hack documents. But what you're missing is the fact that they have already internally moved the project for a 2027 release (not saying that it's 100% still going, but we wouldn't have seen it yet, anyway).

I share your sentiment completely, and the spirit of your post I deeply empathize with.

Now.....hate to be the nerd guy here, but Jean Grey is definitely a great deal more powerful than Logan. Now, smarter, eh, depends on who's writing her honestly; sometimes she's written as brilliant, and sometimes she's written as a moron. More resourceful? Definitely not, unless you count deus ex machina like the Phoenix allowing her to rebuild the entire universe, but that's just more dumb comic writing. No, I'd say Logan is definitely more resourceful, typically speaking, so I'm curious to see if they portray him as a dumb oaf that she has to help along constantly.

I'm not optimistic, but I really wanna be wrong. I just played through the original X Men Origins Wolverine game again, and though it's still great, I can see the issues more now than when I was younger. We deserve a truly great Wolverine game, and I'd argue we've never actually gotten that. I don't think Insomniac will be the one to give it to us, but I want to be wrong.

You are right on all accounts, but you forgot one thing.

We know from the leaks that this version of Jean Grey is trans

Spoiler: spoiler for Jean Grey model

As much as Wolvy, with his healing factor and XY chromosomes, can outsmart a XX Jean Grey, he has no chance against a bio-male version.

Weren't you drooling over sp2 maryjane?

This look like your type alright

 

[GymWolf]

You mean WolvHERine?

Vulvaerine is the official name of the project over there at insomniac studios.

Last capeshit game I played was Arkham Knight on release, and that was quite some time ago. Haven't played any other capeshit since. It all looks like DEI shit in any way so I don't think I missed out on anything

First spiderman on ps4 was ok.

 

[GymWolf]

Can't wait to drop 80 bucks on this Wolverine game and being forced to play as Jean Grey who is stronger, smarter, more resourceful and otherwise more superior in pretty much every way making Wolverine look like a fucking dumbass.

Don't forget a 30 min boss fight against her where logan say sorry 400 times for even existing.

 

[GymWolf]

I'll put it to you as simply as I can.

ARC Raiders is Carlton.

Marathon is Will.

I'm Uncle Phil.

Does that make sense?

How the fuck is the looser game will and the winning game carlton?
I mean unless we are talking about real life will and carlton where the roles are inverted.

 

[photogaz]

If it is there, will it be the big "last thing" they show or will they use that for something that's not been announced before?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

If this doesn't have graffiti missions, I'm not buying.

Uncle Phil doesn't have to worry about Carlton. He's going to go to Princeton, get good grades, and become a doctor or lawyer. Wills future is less certain as he's more likely to make bad choices.

Uncle Phil loves both.

 

[adamsapple]

Cool.

Only 4 years after announcing it.

Let's see how it's cooking.
