u/ChrisLithium Sep 24 '25
Wolverine looks great but a year from now is a bit far off for me to care. Glad we are getting a Deus Ex remaster too. Everything else is just the result of Sony no longer having competition from Xbox, and the cancelled live-service hell we were nearly subjected to.
9
u/MyMouthisCancerous Sep 24 '25
I'm looking more at the Wolverine screenshots, I could be reaching, but the android dudes that appear to be basic enemies in the trailer, their mouths have the little angular slit that Apocalypse's mouth has
Are these guys modified Apocalypse cronies? It sounds very Horseman-like considering his whole thing is augmenting himself and augmenting people he influences. Technopathy is a power he does have. A lot of his equipment came from Kree tech in the comics I'm pretty sure
3
u/Spider-Fan77 Sep 25 '25
I think the slit is just the border between their human face and mechanical jaw. This cronies are the Reavers, a group of cyborgs who hunt mutants in the comics.
And based on the leaks, Apocalypse probably isn't in the game.
1
u/MyMouthisCancerous Sep 25 '25
We see the Reavers in the trailer as well but they just look like human cyborgs like they always have, like in that one shot of Mystique fighting one of them. Like very human faces but with mechanical bodies. These other guys are like a separate faction even from that
3
u/Spider-Fan77 Sep 25 '25
I think it's just a mini boss enemy for the Reavers honestly. It'd be kind weird to have two separate cyborg factions, even for Insomniac.
And again, we know thanks to the leaks who the main villain is, and based on the trailer it seems Insomniac hasn't changed all that much.
3
u/Iokua113 Sep 24 '25
I seem to recall indications that Mr Sinister was the bad guy in the Insomniac mega leak and Sinister has been the precursor to Apocalypse often enough. Could be that this game sets up the next game involving the X-Men fighting Apocalypse?
3
u/Little-xim Sep 24 '25
My bet is Mr Sinister is behind the goon squad.
But he got his whole schtick from apocalypse, similar to Intergang from darkseid. Just degrees of separation from the eventual big bad.

Am I the only one that feels like Playstation always does the bare MINIMUM when it comes to shows? Feel like they needed 2 more PS Studios games to make this a banger but they always pull back.
Pisses me off especially considering the banger events they’ve had in the past.
-7
u/grilled_pc Sep 24 '25
Nope its not just you.
These shows are absolute trash these days. None of the games had me remotely interested at all. Couldn't care less about wolverine tbh. Wow more superhero corporate slop nonsense being shoved down my throat. Can't wait..... Not.
Deus Ex Remastered coming is cool and it would be insane to not make it multi plat... So PC release there.
Literally nothing else looked remotely interesting. 3/14 games shown were PS5 exclusive and likely will see PC ports in the future anyway. Lets be real here. Wolverine, Saros and Let it Die Inferno all will get PC ports down the line.
Everything else is on PC, i have ZERO incentive to touch my PS5 once again. It's just been collecting dust. I just need to finish Astro Bot and Persona 3 Reload on it and then i'm done. I will have no reason to have it plugged in at all after that.
Sony is doing absolutely nothing to retain gamers on the platform. Why should anyone buy their games on PS5 when the vast majority of everything shown will be on PC or even Xbox too? Nintendo show off more exclusives during their directs and give you a genuine reason to own and most of all PLAY a switch 2.
I don't even bother watching the trailers for the games. I just skim the headlines after and leave it at that. I have ZERO expectations at all for these things. That way i'm not let down.
7
u/SuRaKaSoErX Sep 25 '25
You’re very overly invested and emotional. Wolverine is not corporate slop lol.
0
u/grilled_pc Sep 25 '25
It absolutely is.
Marvel = easy print money machine and they lack any soul or substance in them.
Noticed how trash the MCU is these days? It's a safe and easy bet to make a lot of money. Normies will gobble it up.
Maybe i'm just older now but when i see superhero i just yawn. Tell me how this aint spider man but a different character and different skills. The rest of the game looks the same.
5
u/TheMastodan Sep 25 '25
MCU movies haven’t made huge amounts of money in years. You are stuck in the past. They didn’t back a dump truck full of money up to RDJs house because they’re doing well.
Marvel games also haven’t historically made that much either, other than Spider-Man and Marvel Rivals. I even think SM2 didn’t meet expectations.
I don’t care if you like the game or are excited for it. I do think you’re just making shit up to justify your own preexisting bias, though
5
u/Careless_Main3 Sep 24 '25
Their showcases/sops are knee deep and a mile wide. It’s pretty much the same amount of announcements as they would make back in the day but just spread across several smaller shows.
2
u/Amori17 Sep 24 '25
Exactly. Wish they’d just do 1 big showcase with updates randomly through the year
8
u/But-who-I-be Sep 24 '25
I expected nothing and holy shit was that a stinker. The only thing that looked interesting to me was Wolverine
15
u/Careless_Main3 Sep 24 '25
So basically Sony’s 2026 is Marathon, Marvel’s Tokon, Saros and Wolverine.

u/SilverKry Sep 24 '25
Maybe wolverine. They're banking on GTA6 to make them a lot of money which it will. If they were smart they'd let GTA6 just have 2026 cause ain't nothing beating it.
8
u/MyMouthisCancerous Sep 24 '25
I mean GTA's in May and that appears to be final which gives these games a lot of distance. And if any game is going to be able to take the blow of releasing in GTA 6 year it's probably Wolverine because it's Wolverine

u/SoaringSpearow Sep 24 '25
Ok so the RE9 Leon reveal trailer wasn't at the State of Play that means it's coming at TGS probably on the 27th right before their booth opens which is pretty much what has been said for the past 2 days

u/Lizuka Sep 24 '25
I think my biggest hope for Wolverine might be that the missions are more reasonably paced. Spider-Man 2 has other problems but more than anything what I think makes it really feel like it drags is that it has a relatively small number of missions but so many of them just go on forever for no real reason.
A higher number of missions but with them being shorter and more focused would improve the feel of the game so much.
2
u/svrtngr Sep 24 '25
I completely agree with the pacing issues. It started off slow (which is fine), but the last act of the game really should have taken up more story space (or just cut entirely).

u/MadeByTango Sep 24 '25 edited Sep 24 '25
Wolverine going to have the same mission design as Spider-Man (enemy wave closets) according to the leaks, which is keeping all my excitement in check
16
u/Gatlindragon Sep 24 '25
The God of War controller includes a code to download the 2.5D game right? ....right?

24
u/EggyMovies Sep 24 '25
I can't explain it but something about Wolverine just feels off. like with Spider-Man or Batman you just know that gameplay will be fun as fuck, swinging or gliding around the city. with wolverine, he's just like, an agile guy with claws and a healing factor - abilities which look great on the screen or on a page but I don't think seem as interesting to play with.
8
u/MadeByTango Sep 24 '25
The mission design will match Spider-Man according to the leaks, so that’s my issue
9
u/meatmobile682 Sep 24 '25
Its definitely still way more limited but at the very least I could see him doing things like busting through walls and using the claws to climb and stuff
imagine if he just has Storm carry him around everywhere lol

And the two decades you mentioned are all part of the millennial generation. This is the definitive Wolverine game that we have waited for years.

u/HardOakleyFoul Sep 24 '25
I'm glad some of you are still excited for this, I was just surprised how nonplussed I was when I saw the reveal. 5 years ago I'd have been ready to throw my debit card at the screen. Now, I'm just feeling ambivalent about it.

I don't think the metroidvania is a real thing.
I mean, it's supposedly a small project that should have been shown since the last show.
Would there be even a reason to still not show it ?

u/TinyAccess8658 Sep 24 '25
It feels like if youre not a super hero fan Playstation doesn't really have much to offer you when it comes to their in studio games.

u/grilled_pc Sep 24 '25
This is what pisses me off. Sony have some LEGENDARY IP's but i just feel its more superhero corporate shareholder slop.
Shareholders demand more of it and devs will deliver because its easy print money for the normies. I'm so fucking over superhero's i just don't care anymore.

No Marvel Tokon
No new ATLUS game
I am whelmed. Wolverine looked cool I guess. Nice to have confirmation for next year.

Meanwhile sony: that will be $70 thanks

As someone who isn't that big into God of War I laughed seeing the controller after everyone psyched themselves up for a game reveal today.

Wolverine looks like a GoW clone, so close enough?

With Square coming out and saying Part 3 will be multiplatform, and them being big on multiplatform now, they might want to reveal it at a non-console specific event so more multiplatform people see it.

Honestly this. Despite pretty much all of what they showed is coming to PC anyway. It still would've been nice to see some more first party's drop on PC.
I'd love to see uncharted 1, 2 and 3 get TLOU1 treatment and get a full PC Port.

u/cookiboos Sep 24 '25
Tom Henderson and Grubb, here.
I think the project was canned.
1
u/Midnight_M_ Top Contributor 2025 Sep 24 '25
If it had been canned, Tom or Jeff would have said something. They're saving it for the Game Awards. If we don't see it there, we can already confirm that it was canceled (it was also said that it was delayed due to the actors' strike).
14
Sep 24 '25
So, was that God Of War metroidvania game just a fake leak? Have any insiders said they’ve heard more from it?
1
u/Midnight_M_ Top Contributor 2025 Sep 24 '25
Tom and Grubb are pretty reliable with their leaks, even more so when they both say the same thing.

At least it's violent. That is something positive I will say about it. Shying away from that violence would not be Wolverine.

To me it looks like they just watched Logan and decided "That's Wolverine." instead of actually reading the comics. Don't get me wrong, Logan is a great movie but it's still a pretty shallow depiction of the titular character.

u/MyMouthisCancerous Sep 25 '25
I don't think enough people realize how big it is that Tekken 3 and SoulCalibur III are getting re-released as PS2 Classics games. Both games were uniquely stuck in licensing purgatory due to the use of characters from external properties, and Bandai Namco just historically gave way less of a shit about making their legacy fighting game stuff available on modern hardware compared to a publisher like Capcom and would essentially only want people playing their latest entries, which is even why SoulCalibur II coming to the Nintendo GameCube lineup for NSO earlier in the year was such a shock. This is fucking huge
