Exactly! But that's all they showed. The leaks aren't the final game. Nor is it the game we'll probably be seeing in a year or so.

Does anyone think that's an actual character model from the final product? I'm sure it's a place holder/work in progress model.From this
To this
To this
How is this even possible?
Also, why half the game is about Karen-Grey when the game is called Wolverine? Is he going to get friendzoned from the get go?
Do you really want to talk about character models as it makes any difference in this industry? May I remind you:

Let me tell you a little secret. It takes a lot longer than one year to make a game.
What game is this from?

One of the many Insomniac leaks from months ago
I am sure they changed things since those leaks. I don't pay attention to this stuff very much, too busy working and being a Dad.

These characters genuinely look like male to female drags. They don't even look like women!

haha man reading this thread you'd think Insomniac was some shit developer that is putting out nothing but woke games with marvel characters banging dudes and killing hetero couples. Like I get some of the stuff in SM2 was stupid but this seems like a bit of an overreaction.
I'm just glad the narrative here isn't the dominate one because I love Insomniac and the games they are pumping out. Sure I thought the homo prom thing was stupid but I would have thought it was stupid even if it was a hetero couple.

I had rigor mortis set in with Spiderman 2. If I hadn't stopped playing when I did, I doubt I'd be here today.

They haven't shown anything about the game for a while, so it wouldn't be rare if they show something soonish.
In a couple months they have the 30th anniversary of PlayStation, so it would be a great opportunity to make some stream to celebrate it with some trailers of 1st party games as could be:

Nope nope nope nope nope not listening nope.
Twitter's really become a breeding ground for all these random insiders of late.
I'm not as interested in superhero games as I used to be, unless they're doing something very novel but, well, I don't that'll be the case with Wolverine. A want a superhero gaming equivalent of The Joker (2019) or The Penguin, something focused more on adventure, story & drama rather than just combat with skill trees, or where the only story is in a lot of cutscenes.
I know that'd be a challenge and a risk for AAA superhero gaming but, it would be a nice refreshing change.

I actually think they did Spiderman traversal and some of the gameplay well in terms of representing the character. Its such a shame then that I found I got thoroughly bored swinging through a city (in which I'd far rather be driving or flying through) and as you say combat with combo skill trees. Maybe with Wolverine it'll be better simply due to the change in character. I've lost heart after Spiderman 2 though...

It will be a story twist. Don't tell anyone, it's a secret for now.

I think only Naughty Dog could succeed with a story driven game like that. If we're talking about the level of Joker (2019) or Penguin show. ND is basically the HBO of gaming.

With SM2 PC port announcement on Jan 30 some sort of gameplay reveal around TGA is almost a given, IMO

Unfortunately with AAA game dev getting more expensive systems will continue to homogenize, so I'm interested to see how Insomniac keep Wolverine from feeling like a Spiderman game in adamantium skin.
I guess. But, ND's storytelling style is too depressing IMHO, if TLOU2 is the direction they're steering in. Stuff like The Joker ultimately had a sense of optimism to them, even if the sequel completely ruined that.
Similar for The Penguin, tho ATM I'm torn between Oz and Sofia; I want them both to succeed but also want Oz to show me why I should be smpathetic to him over her after that last episode.
That ain't gonna take away the sting of the SM2 port, or the likelihood ports are going to be 1 year staggered at best and probably even Day 1 within a year or two.
Still got a gut feeling Death Stranding 2 is going to be a Day 1 Steam drop. I mean, great for Steam players of course, but that just makes PlayStation look like that much worse of a deal.

Nah, I expected this. Honestly I don’t know how anyone is surprised by it anymore.
It makes for a fun read.

That's ubisoft and that's also not a representation of what that character looks like most of the time.Do you really want to talk about character models as it makes any difference in this industry? May I remind you:

So it's pretty much confirmed SBI worked on this game from the evidence provided in this thread?
That's basically a death sentence for any game now. Especially since, Kim Belair the CEO of SBI is on record for making incendiary statements about white people and white male gamers. That's pretty stupid considering this demographic is a major source of revenue generator for the video game industry itself. Word travels fast within the gaming space.
And for the people thinking that Insomniac is untouchable, can't do no wrong, and is invincible from failure, there are countless game companies out there that once was in great shape with a sterling reputation are now dissolved or in great trouble. Rocksteady was once a darling of gamers, especially after the Arkham trilogy, now look at them after numerous bombs.

Because we know it was alpha gameplay, alpha is when you are trying things out, gameplay systems mainly, no story is in place at all, most of the artwork is placeholder (most probably comes from spider man), it's for testing. Even in beta a load of artwork can still be placeholder/not finished along with any other spit and shine (this is why doing a trailer for an unfinished game can take a lot of resources because those sections of the game shown need to be polished)
Look at Horizon Zero Dawn alpha:
An alpha (especially a leaked alpha) is in no way representative of the final game. Could it still be shit? Of course it could, but judge it with the final game, or at least an official gameplay trailer. So, no denial, just being realistic instead of knee-jerk 'looks like crap'

Well, yes , creating vertical slices of polished graphics/gameplay takes a while to do if your game is unfinished. With Insomniac they don't want to miss a puddle out by accident or something do they?And what does "gearing up" mean? Is showing a trailer or some gameplay that laborious in 2024? Do we need a hero montage?

Yuuuup. Will the final reveal look prettier? Better models? Better lighting? Certainly, but you can't put lipstick on a pig. The gameplay looks fucking boring. No amount of pretty graphics can change that.

Maybe you lose if you get captured? Or drown since his skeleton is metal.
His healing is all over the place in terms of speed. It's really dumb

Will be probably as Kratos in the reboot. Both in gameplay and mechanics, even the camera angle is the same.

It helps to take a step back and zoom out in perspective. Don’t catch yourself in a lengthy 15 post argument with someone who most likely will just aggravate you and come back the next day saying the exact same talking points.
I have a belief that one day this community will move forward and improve to being mostly about video games again, but it’s going to take a lot of time and something else that I won’t point out. We need to get past this American election season first and foremost because that’s having the biggest effect.
