No one does movie tie-ins anymore boomer.Is there no new movie to go along with the game ?
Can't be sure, there are also a ton of direct to dvd animated movies lately. And what have the fat zombies from L4D to do with me ?No one does movie tie-ins anymore boomer.Is there no new movie to go along with the game ?
Look, I wouldn't mind Tencent and SqEnixx make Thief and DeusEx. If not them, nobody will. Despair.Maybe we can finally have a Deus Ex by a talented developer, like Tencent!!!
More likely it is the remake of the remake of the reboot of the remake of the reboot of Super Mosquito Man vs. The Amazing Cippa Lippa Woman.Is there no new movie to go along with the game ?
These days the problem with a sure thing is that everyone thinks there's room to make a lot of diversity decisions.The staggering amount of ineptitude around Marvel's Avengers is hilarious. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal got maybe the easiest sure shot layup in video games and somehow they tripped over their own feet and landed square on their face.
One of the weirder things about this game is you'd think Crystal Dynamics was inventing the wheel when it comes to what they're doing here given how much they don't follow what better games before them have done. From the gameplay, to the levels, to the loot system, to the design of the characters themselves...everything they did was pretty much wrong.
Haven’t been following this all that closely, but wasn’t there a lot of chatter at release about how the game was clearly a Frankenstein monster of a game that spent most of development as a SP campaign focused game that did a hard pivot to a GaaS thing fairly late in development? If so doesn’t really seem likely that that was Crystal Dynamics idea/fault.
The Avengers project is being designed for gamers worldwide and will be packed with all the characters, environments, and iconic moments that have thrilled longtime fans of the franchise. Featuring a completely original story, it will introduce a universe gamers can play in for years to come.
Unlikely they said their Marvel Avengers project would be GAAS directly after finishing Rise of The Tomb raider
Here the original announcement from 2017

I wouldn't be surprised if the truth was somewhere in the middle. Square Enix is notorious for meddling with their western IPs, so while Crystal Dynamics may have been aware that Avengers was going to be some sort of GaaS, I wouldn't be at all surprised if SE asked them to make unreasonable changes.
The development of Anthem was a lot more transparent so any similar comments to Avengers are speculation, but Anthem's development cycle showed that upper management at some of these companies viewed GaaS as some sort of magic cash cow that they could get right on the first try with zero effort made to understand the genre or their competitors - either from the standpoint of avoiding the same pitfalls or simply differentiating themselves.
Avengers takes way too much inspiration from Destiny for their leadership to have ignored it, but it takes so many of Destiny's concepts and applies them with no apparent regard for why people may have liked or disliked them in the first place that it comes across like a bad Chinese knockoff.
They do know Disney owns Fox now, right? I'm sure it's OK for them to bring up X-Men stuff now.

Square licensed everything when this was not the case I'm sure, so there might be issues with technicalities and whatnot that prevent this.
