@Thrillho yeah, as picked up here: https://www.pushsquare.com/forums/ps_general_discussion/goodb... when someone requests we delete their account it means all their threads get removed too, which is our legal requirement. There are some potential work arounds mentioned there which I may look into.
So, I discovered that the wishlist feature in the PS digital store can only have up to 99 games wishlisted. Guess it's time for me to start prioritising games there instead of just adding any mildly amusing game to that list.
Honestly all of this "PlayStation gets all the exclusive perks" stuff surrounding Avengers could've probably easily been fixed if the game was just a straight up exclusive to the platform.
Not only would that justify giving that version all this attention, but it would allow Square to actually assist Insomniac in building a shared universe based around Marvel's game characters since then they would have a much easier time connecting it to Spider-Man, given it's another PS4 exclusive Marvel property that had a crap ton of easter eggs in its game alluding to characters like the Avengers and even Daredevil at one point
Also it would further incentivise Marvel fans with a reason to prioritze PlayStation over other platforms in a way that promotes legitimately healthy competition with other systems seeing as how then they'd feel inclined to come into the PlayStation ecosystem for access to content based on the characters they like
None of this "give PlayStation a complete version of a multiplatform game and blame Sony for us not being able to keep parity with other consoles and PC" bullcrap. I'd much rather have a third party exclusive that's complete in terms of content than a scattered multiplatform game like what we're getting.
Q: “Persona 4 the Golden” has been selling well on Steam, but do you have any plans to sell newly released games on Steam as well?
A: We remastered “Persona 4 the Golden”, a title previously sold on the PlayStation Vita, and released it for sale on Steam this fiscal year. Because of the game’s critical acclaim and its low selling price, sales were much stronger than expected. We will continue to actively promote porting previously released titles to Steam and new platforms. We are also negotiating with platform holders for new games in the future, and we’re considering ways to sell under favorable conditions for each title. Among them are measures such as preparing PC versions of the titles from the beginning, with multi-platform releases in mind.
SEGA and Atlus are prioritizing PC and console ports of their older content in light of Persona 4 Golden's "unexpected" success on Steam. Don't be surprised if we see more remasters of 6th and 7th gen titles from Atlus after SMT III Nocturne HD Remaster.
Some datamined files from the Marvel's Avengers Beta may have allegedly confirmed the inclusions of James Rhodes/War Machine, Kate Bishop/Hawkeye and Jennifer Walters/She Hulk.
Again this roster really isn't pulling from much else other than what's topical and relevant to the movies much like MvCI, considering War Machine is an MCU Avenger and Kate Bishop and Jennifer Walters are about to be introduced in the MCU. I don't really like MUA3 but at least its roster had a healthy balance of more obscure picks for characters and characters that are more mainstream.
@TheFrenchiestFry I honestly think this is the best way to go about it. Put in some fan favourite characters as costumes, that way they’ll make a fortune off the MTX. Pretty yucky but it’ll make them money.
@nessisonett That could work for Kate Bishop but War Machine and She Hulk can be differentiated from their respective counterparts considering War Machine has a crap ton of artiliery like a shoulder mounted machine gun and She-Hulk is considerably more agile than Hulk. She could incorporate more kicks or leg sweeps in her moveset compared to Hulk just being a brute force tank-like character
If they ever go the route of including mutant characters (though highly unlikely imo) They could make X-23 a palette swap of Wolverine with visual differences her claw swipes
@TheFrenchiestFry Oh yeah, absolutely, they could do with being whole characters but everything we’ve seen from this game has shown that the devs have 0 interest. It’s a soulless grab at getting the MCU audience. Can’t believe it’s a full price release.
@nessisonett It sucks too when the comparatively lower budget and more quickly developed Switch game has a much more diverse cast of characters. Pulling exclusively from the movie pool is why MvCI's roster felt so lackluster from the Marvel side and I fear the exact same thing is about to happen here considering even the character models for the core team just look like derivatives of the movie designs excluding Kamala Khan. Bruce Banner is even sporting Mark Ruffalo's exact clothing from the first Avengers film complete with the purple collared shirt and glasses. Even the hair style is exactly the same. At this point I won't be surprised if they announce Scarlet Witch is coming to the game without Quicksilver, and that she won't be a mutant in their canon.
