Was hoping for a higher score, but I can live with a 7/10. I've been following this game for years, so while I wish that the gameplay could have been better, I think the animation alone might push me over the edge.
I love Insomniac, and their Spider-Man games are either pretty good or incredible, but I really hope that Wolverine is their last Marvel title for at least a few years. I want to see more of their original IPs like Ratchet and Clank or, of course, Sunset Overdrive.
I still think that the Wolverine game will be good stuff and so will their other upcoming games, but I feel like audiences and Insomniac themselves will be tired of all the Marvel games.
Aniplex is a division of Sony that's very separated from PlayStation and SIE, so they probably just don't care, and it doesn't seem like there's any mandatory rules about launching all "Sony" games on PlayStation first, so that definitely is why a game like this and Ghostbusters VR (from Sony Pictures) don't immediately come to PlayStation.
Still strange to see of course, it's like if a Nintendo subsidiary like Monolith Soft published some game for another company then released it first on Xbox, or to a lesser extent, if the Microsoft Office team published a f--king Scott Pilgrim game or something only on PlayStation, idk.
@Bez87 I guess they wanted people to try out the pre-pre-alpha so we could get a pre-pre-preview of the game before it pre-pre-launches and to see what pre-pre-features they should premove from the game to give people a chance to see what they've been pre-pre-working on.
Or at least I'm pre-pre-pretty sure that's the case.
@Bez87 No crap it the graphics are subpar, it's literally still in development. You think "pre-pre-alpha" means that this is what the final game looks like?
I honestly kinda liked it. Somewhat. It wasn't a masterpiece, but I really don't know what everyone else was expecting. I had absolutely no expectations, I didn't try to keep up with the live time, and I left satisfied.
Again, this is Geoff we're talking about, guys. Lower your expectations by ten billion.
I did fast forward a lot though. Yet I loved the indie games shown off.
@Nintendo4Sonic I hate it when people say "who asked for this". Did anyone ask for Metal Gear Solid 1? How about Halo? Helldivers? Hi-Fi Rush? Kirby? Nobody wanted Zelda Windwaker. Sometimes we don't know what we want.
It always pains me when the worst Roblox titles, especially the crappy sponsored ones, are advertised by media outlets rather than actual passion projects and quality titles.
Then again, IKEA commiting child labor is more newsworthy than a Doomspire game ever will be.
Behemoth and Astro Bot were my only real highlights. I guess it was enough to somewhat satisfy my VR/Nintendo ass, but other than that, pretty underwhelming.
Bobbypills alone makes this show an immediate addition to my watchlist. They animate for some great shows and are incredibly talented. Some shows are too good (explicit) to be mentioned on this website even!

Re: Sunset Overdrive PS5 Port Not Happening, Insomniac's Too 'Busy'

It's too bad Killer Bean isn't coming to consoles yet. That game looks really fun honestly. And no, this isn't a joke.
