X-Men Destiny |OT| - A new game with X-Men...oh no, he's not in, play as Aimi Yoshida

Captain N said:
started up the game and the first thing that you get is a 4.5 Gig install for the PS3 version.


That's pretty much every PS3 game these days isn't it?


I forgot I had this preodered. : / I'm actually kindof nervous about playing this one. It had ZERO fanfare.

I think it has ZERO fanfare thanks to it pretty much getting ZERO Press.

The game looks absolutely dreadful. The worst part is that the Canadian government has given Silicon Knights $7 million dollars in grants over the last couple of years to help pay for this piece of shit.

This is the 360 version, not the PSP version.
I am amazed any publisher works with SK any more, its not like they push game play and player choice so far that its somewhat understandable that their games look like they are running on broken hardware.

Someone get a screengrab of the "Things look so bad everywhere" achievement. Needs to be the first thing people see in this thread. Never agreed with an achievement title more.
 
I'll be playing this when I get home...just so I can see how bad it is. :(

Then...to soothe my sore feelings over a terrible purchasing decision, I will play ICO/SotC

Watched a partial playthrough of this on youtube. It was horrifying. Monster closets, invisible walls, repetitive fights and dialogue ("You can't hurt me!")

I liked Too Human quite a bit actually but this just looks like a disaster. What the hell happened to this studio?

Could you take some images of the DS version and say how it is? We've yet to hear anything about that one ;)

I'll take a quick crummy video so you can see what it looks like. not very good at all. It's overhead camera. Like a Diablo without any rpg/loot elements what so ever.

Remember those dev diaries about Too Human on XBL? There were 4 or so of them, and they were pretty heady, about mind states of the player or something like that- concepts that would make Too Human a new type of transcendent game. It was pretty cool stuff. I was sold.

I liked Too Human, played a good bit of it- but of course it didn't live up to those dev diaries. Now this...

I really do wonder what the hell happened.

I didn't get a chance to see much of that first 15 mins walk through before I left, but as I jumped forward a bit it didn't seem horrific or anything.

Graphics are almost last gen, but is anyone actually playing it? I know this is turning into a hate thread but I sorta want to hear a balance opinion. :)

I do now! I think these might be the first shots of the Wii version on the internet, but sorry for the poor quality.

PS: Those portraits are what you get most of the time in place of the characters actually talking at each other. There is occasionally parts where they don't bother with portraits, but the character models don't actually move their lips or anything.

Also, there does not appear to be any subtitle option. Like, at all.
 
You're always thinking, it can't be as bad as everyone is saying, exaggeration, etc. Then I saw the textures...woooow. Looks like a port of an Xbox game from 2005.

The way Acti' are handling this game is like its back in the early 90's.
I guess it fits with the quality of the 3d art of the game.

Weird thing is, the first time you actually get to see the in-game graphics, it doesn't look so bad.

Then you start to move and the frame-rate and animation is shit and every character model other than your own looks like citizens of derp-ville.

A port of an Xbox game from 2005 that's still in alpha.

This game doesn't look good in screenshots, but I have enjoyed the hour I've played it so far.
Good for you, at least get some enjoyment out of it.

Thanks for posting ;)
You do not need to apologise for the bad quality, unless you work at SK :D

Is it any fun?

Yeah, it's not terrible, but there is nothing good about it. I'd almost rather it be a shittier game, that way it'd at least be funny to play and laugh at.

As it is, the game is a bore and it is depressing to think that these guy were, at one point, used to make competent games.

It isn't yet, but I'll keep playing to see if maybe it just has a very weak opening. Of course, the game is supposed to be stupid short, so maybe I'll accidentally beat it in the process of finding the fun.

Is this just an awful case of textures being streamed in, or is that how it actually looks?

I have to say that the PS3 version is really fun and not sure about the Wii version, but suggest trying it out. Def. rent if you get a chance.

I suppose if Dennis is able to still read this in spite of his ban:

HIIIII! Your game sucks. Please do better next time.

This is what the law suit from Activision against SK will consist of.


From now on Raven should be in charge of Activision's Marvel output.

This sounds like a great idea. I liked all their Marvel games.

Came in here to hear some impressions or see screens cause I (and I guess the rest of GAF) hardly know anything about the game.

Oh man, that second Cyclops face is killing me. Killing me with laughter.

Jeez, it's like every comment is a negative one :/

Captain N says he's having fun with it but thats pretty much as far as positive goes.



Looking at that Lets Play has lead me to not even rent this, with Rage and the BF3 beta so close.
 
Can anyone with the game verify it looks that bad? How do we know it's not some guy playing on a busted xbox or a bad pirated copy?

I just can't wrap my head around a $60 game looking that bad in 2011.
