The direct consequence of video games ballooning in the cost of their production is that publishers are mostly looking to replicate a surefire formula. See: 007 First Light

James Bond effect.

I don’t think I like insomniacs hyper realistic style and this applies to spider man series too . It’s not limited to this . They would look dope a bit more stylized or an art style

Ben 10 homage

Both copied god of war 2

Crazy to see how far Sony have evolved over 20 years

This is peak boss fight design

Sony and insomniac clearly agree

Nigga said “Ben 10 homage.”

cinemasins style a***ysis has finally reached video games

lol we’ve seen a boss fight like that for a while but I’m seeing the Ben 10 memes

It was at video games before movies

I mean I would love to see some level of suit damage then he heals . So it doesn’t look perfect but I get it

Phantom blade zero doing so many animations makes the combat look better than this to watch but for all I know they both maxing the same buttons

Tbf he regenerated in origins but I can still guarantee that Wolverine 2026 won’t let you become meat and bones like this because that would actually be fun and we can’t have that

Looks fun to me regardless but I see their point in the comparisons. Also looks like the dragon fight from God of war (2018) and probably a bunch of other stuff. Crazy how mgs1 (for PlayStation) had an amazing epic battle against a walking giant all the way back then

Kills me feeling so apathetic to this. I should be hyped

Yea the point is that a large boss battle can take different forms, it just requires a little imagination and drive. Some people on xitter even mentioned an SotC type fight where Wolverine climbs up the sentinel. That would be way more memorable and fun than doing the “fight upper torso man” thing again

It’s just such an unoriginal boss fight lol but it works . Nothing touching shadow of the colossus still 20 years later is the insane part

I’m sure the game will be fine but everything about it looks so toothless and sterile lmao. The 2009 game just has such a gritty look and combat that’s much more weighty and brutal than this. Insomniac wasn’t the right studio for this. Team ninja would’ve been my pick
