Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra

The graphics look insane.

I saw this at the State of Unreal presentation earlier today and they showed off some of the tech behind it. It certainly looks amazing. The game doesn't really appeal to me though.

Another game trailer that shows off cut scenes. Shows nothing concerning actual game play. Tells me nothing.
 
As an Agents of Shield fanboy, I'm gonna have to play this. Hail Hydra.
 
Pre-rendered cut scenes do little for me these days. If the actual game is good I may be interested.

Not that it makes much difference but all the footage is rendered in-engine in real time. There were a couple snippets of what might have been gameplay elements in there, but hard to say. Hopefully we get a full gameplay reveal during Summer Games Fest, TGA, or one of the various other events this year.

I hope it is more streamlined action adventure/fighting game more along the lines of Guardians of the Galaxy and not the horrible Avengers "live service" game. This is made by Skydance Media, who have never made a game before. But apparently it is led by former a Naughty Dog director. They are apparently also working on a Star Wars game.

There are a lot of other Marvel and Star Wars games in the world. EA is making an Iron Man game as well as a Black Panther game headed by two different studios; wonder if those will be in the same universe as this Skydance game. A Blade game is also being made by Arkane Lyon.

On the Star Wars side of things, Skydace Media is working on something, Ubisoft has Outcasts which releases this year, and EA had an FPS game that got cancelled. Then there is Star Wars Eclipse. I cannot recall if there was another Star Wars FPS being made by someone else. Though if you like Star Wars and Marvel, I suppose the next few years could be interesting. Personally I wouldn't mind a vehicle shooter with a campaign that isn't low quality, and a Star Wars FPS. Aside from that I would rather see more unique IPs than a whole bunch of super hero adaptions.

You should find a new hobby then. If you can’t handle that non-white people exist maybe you should go hide in a hole for the rest of your life and never interact with humanity again.

no and if you were paying attention, at all, youd realize that.
half of the get woke thread is me posting against this shit, BUT i know the difference between a normal diverse cast and "the message". i guess youve never been in that thread though...

The inclusion of non-white and non-straight characters by themselves is not woke.

depends...if they purposely include a person of a specific gender or sexual preference to play against the usual stereotype then it might be...for example if they cast an African American James Bond or a female Bond

I don't care at all about casting choices except in extreme cases

Yes, racewashing and/or genderswapping an established character would generally be considered woke.

Even then, it's kind of nebulous and really depends on the end product. Comic book media is filled with both good and bad examples.
 
In movie it is different, Morgan Freeman to play Red the Irish in Shawshank could have purely because he was a really good actor and voice for that role, same could happen for the next Bond actor specially if the movie are set in the modern days, a British agents can be black and that would not be an issue for him to enter casino or high end hotel and bring suspicions (it is not like Bond hide being an agents a lot of the times anyway).

In video game, it will tend to always be deliberate (we can still imagine voice actor being pick first too) and obviously like always good design vs bad design will be 2 different things and when it is good everything tend to not matter (take the MadMax FuryRoad movie, would it have been bad the narrative of turning the franchise around a female heroine would have continued on the shock thumbnail part of youtube, make it one of the best action movie of all time and it die right away) and when it is bad that when people have time to analyse what they do not like and try to thing what could it be and so on...
