Wow what a bummer that trains, buses, bikes, electric scooters, and every other mode of rapid, inexpensive transportation has been un-invented. Those would have been really useful literally every moment since they were first invented. If we had those we could treat driving like it was the most dangerous thing people do every day, which it is.
My point is that driving is essential only because the people in power have unilaterally decided that it must be, and fuck them for that.
Driving is not a right. WAY too many people are allowed to drive. What’s worse is that WAY too many people have no option BUT to drive
Insomniac is clearly great at developing what they set out to do, but I think what they set out to do here appears (to me, in my opinion) relatively uninspired. Wolverine would be a fun character to play in heavy, slow-paced 1-on-1 (or 1-on-a few) combat, but the trailer makes it seem like they’re sort of porting over combat mechanics from Spider-man, which in turn is just ported over from the Arkham games.
I think Spider-man is a better-suited character for the Arkham-style combat than even Batman was because of the ridiculous, cartoonish acrobatics that fit Spider-man’s characterization, and not so much Batman’s supposedly grounded and gritty persona.
I’m not trying to say I think this game won’t be good, I’m sure it’ll be more than competent and definitely fun, but my hunch is that it won’t outshine Spider-man.
Again, I’m just judging from that trailer, and the trailer was clearly one of the higher-octane scripted sequences from the game, but I really cannot get a sense of the kind of weight Logan is supposed to have. Like is he really fast, is he heavy (like, because of his entire skeleton being coated in metal, and the way the camera shakes when he hits the ground), is he acrobatic, is he old and stiff?
I dunno. I hope it does well, being one of the few single-player games with a console manufacturer funding it, but I’m definitely not looking to buy a PS5 for it.
