PlayStation's Wolverine creative director is now leading Xbox’s Perfect Dark

I want to remind everyone that Marcus Smith, the chad appointed as Wolverine's new creative director, reportedly wanted Rivet to have more sexy female features. And also directed Resistance 3.

Good to have a real man at the helm of the project, so that hopefully any future ugly MJ scenarios will be prevented from happening.
If he can turn it around and snuff out anything sweet baby had to do with the project then I may just buy this.

A game 100% no bullshit without appealing to the modern audience in any way shape or form would show the winds of change in sony ... but I highly doubt this.
No AAA studio is going to come out with an 100% anti-woke game. Certainly not with the X-Men. No, they aren’t at base nature the rainbow colored firebrand that leftists make them out to be, but they’re not anti-woke.

I mean, unless there's a significant internal delay I don't see much changing.

Would be great if they purged all the mind virus shit though.
They better after the shit they pulled with Spider-Man 2.

I was actually really impressed with Perfect Dark and wanted to play it but my fault for paying attention to a reveal for a years out MS game. I guess we are still supposed to be hyped it will be better than Zero because It's Different This Time Again, ptII.

Is the first time I see this and it makes perfect sense...and it aligns with the taught that this uglyfing of characthers its just projection from this devs.

The last PS game I played was a month or so ago. Said its a 9 or 9.5 and in the running for GOTY for me.

I'm allowed to hate anything I want. I was making a joke about myself saying I would shit on Sony if I could in that thread. I was mocking myself because I know I am very critical of them. I then went on to say Sony is not acting monopolistic in that thread.

Are you writing all this because I didnt like Miles Morales? Well too bad. I didnt like it. It was boring as fuck. A well made polished blockbuster but boring as fuck. If you dont trust anything I say then just block me and you dont have to see any of it.
Look, you can't even name the game that you consider to be in the running for GOTY (sort of joking here, because I don't think it is that serious and not that it matters, it's just games in the end, so who cares), but this wasn't really my point — I thought I was clear on that. I was simply pointing out that many of your likes/dislikes swing a specific way, tried to identify the reason, and what that comes across as and yes, you can hate anything you want to hate; even if the reason is because it's branded Playstation instead of Xbox. I wasn't going to post this at first but then decided to post it since I've always thought of this behavior of yours to be a little odd; what you post otherwise seems reasonable enough, even if I don't agree.

And, I don't block people. You can have a different opinion, preference, or whatever. You can call me out too lol.

He's allowed to troll, under the guise of "it's just my opinion" bs. All his posts are similar, Xbox games underrated, PS games vastly overrated.
Yeah, it comes across like that and sometimes I think I am over-thinking it, that maybe there is a specific reason that will make sense, and I go back and forth, usually just ignore it. Today I was leaning on the "maybe" trolling side so posted my thoughts.

This is how she looks in-game. You all can stop trying so hard.

I really don't know why you would even care. I'm honestly probably done talking about GOTY around here. I used to really enjoy it and put a lot of thought into my picks in each category but the nonstop harassment about my personal opinion has truly sucked the fun out of it. I will probably just keep my opinions on that to myself from now on. Really not worth it.

Surprised Drew Barrymore hasn’t pulled an Ellen Page and complained about her likeness being used.

On a more serious note, I’m not offended by the jaw so much; I think everyone in SM2 looks off. Peter’s original face is so much better than his SM2 model, Miles given the Killmonger-cut is awful at every level, and Harry doesn’t look like Harry Osborn should. Nor does he act like it.

Similarly, MJ’s appearance is just the face of a misuse of the character. She’s not a scrappy reporter, she’s a self confident and showy up and comer in the NY scene. A model and maybe a Broadway/commercial actress who is there to emotionally support Peter and encourage him to be more carefree about things.

If they wanted a female character to be deeply involved with the story, they should’ve gone with Gwen Stacy. There, you have a parallel to Peter’s career as a scientist, a potential link to Otto’s research/Oscorp/anything like that, relationship drama, etc. Half of the interesting stuff in Peter’s life is juggling 10 different romantic interests at a time, but I think that’s too beyond the pale for Insomniac.

If they wanted a female character as a part of the action: WTF?! Use Silver Sable again. Actually include Black Cat in a serious way! Bring in Misty Knight, Jessica Jones or any one of the dozens of street level heroes you got access to with this license that costs you 100 million big ones a game!

Says the biggest PC fanboy on the forum.
Do you see me hyping and celebrating in graphic cards or cpu or pc exclusive games threads? Do you see me go full defence mode if someone talks bad about pcs? Do you see me pixelcounting in game comparison threads? Do you see me auto hating each and every console exclusive game or hardware? No? Well guess i'm just a fan then.

Thank you for putting this up. I had read the writer did this but seeing it side to side....that's fucking embarrassing. To insert yourself that much into a characters features is insane.

Mary Jane is literally a super model! It's been her job for most of her characters life. This is the stuff people get angry about; you don't want to acknowledge her beauty as a super model is one thing but to change her character model so much is artistic abuse.

Not sure a director change will be enough. The very fundamentals of what we saw in the leaks looked bad. It needs a restart and a fresh codebase instead of trying to make a wolverine mod on the spiderman engine. The characters are just too different. Looked like Logan was on greased ice skates. Needs to be a lot more grounded.

he should save us from this

I dated a chick with this build in high school. Very weird. 185lbs despite not really having much fat. Very broad shoulders and hips. Boobs too far apart. Might as well be dating a dude tbqh. Not the girl's fault really, just the cards they're dealt, but still no need to give a fantasy character these dreadful genetics.

This response tells me it’s all true

Insomniac games are really polished but I have never gotten super into any of them. Spiderman 2018 or whatever was good but I was just wishing for more to do and more variety in particular on what was going on at the street level.

They have super talented programmers that's clear, but honestly not confident any "game director" from there will result in a great game for my tastes. Maybe they are good at keeping devs on track though.

It's also hard to say how much of the things I dislike are just Sony-isms. They sort of repeat things across their games that makes me think it's someone at a higher level putting them in the games.
