The public was barely shown any substantial stretches of gameplay though, so that's the biggest thing to comment on.

Five studios are working on Marvel's The Avengers game
- Thread starter SageShinigami

Or in this case, a small development team=/=better faces for characters that we associate movie stars with.
This quite genuinely has NOTHING to do with the team size. Like, literally zero.
That seems to be the main issue with the RE Engine thus far (the amount of time, resources and manpower required for that exquisite detail), and likely why they haven't made any open world games with it yet.
I can't imagine how much work a dinosaur would take...
I laughed out loud but yeah, this. I can't get over the utterly bizarre choice to make the game look so much like the MCU movies but not get the likenesses of the actors involved. Every single time i see any of the cast it's like the worst case of uncanny valley i've ever experienced in gaming and it breaks my brain a bit. It feels so off, just wrong. In comparison even with the "lesser" graphics Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 on the Switch looks a million times better when it comes to character design.
Wow that is indeed quite a team
GoW lead combat designer in charge of the combat
The Lost Legacy director for creative director
COD and Halo guys for multiplayer lead team
On paper, it sounds amazing

Thanks for putting that on the new page.
Yeah I'll admit the lack of gameplay is frustrating. Honestly, unless that 12 minute segment is bad they should just put it out so people can look at it.
I'm not arguing the quality of the faces. I'm saying that is unrelated to the size of a development team.

Certainly not the intent of my OP:
"I think my biggest concern for a game like this has always been if it was even possible to manage the scale necessary for Avengers while also making all the heroes look and play differently instead of slight clones of one another. Even now, the way they explain the story sounds like a game that would require hundreds of developers if not more--constantly adding new heroes and areas, giving decent five to ten hour story chunks to the main characters in the base game? And that's to say nothing of their promise of being able to customize each individual hero to a player's liking. It sounds like incredibly time-intensive work, but learning that Crystal Dynamics and Marvel Games were both well aware and have taken the steps to ensure they've got the manpower to get it done is encouraging. "
Are you kidding me? If a dev team were big enough, they could literally dedicate a whole group of people to just perfecting the faces.
Too many chefs in the kitchen. Hopefully they can change up some of the art style and design interesting missions.
Nixxes is a PC port group. I'd imagine Crystal NW is tech oriented. Eidos perhaps helping with asset generation. This isnt a "too many cooks situation"
Even the Crash and Spyro remakes had multiple studios behind them... so yeah this is standard practice when it comes to modern big budget development.

Of course not. People pretend like you can flip a switch and the ports are just done.
This is the reality of HD development, especially for AAA games. They always require a ton of people & studios to make.

I just wish they stay busy for some time with this title so they leave Tomb Raider for someone else :)
Holy shit this thread is hilarious ,yall have some serious issues with this game I can't grasp. The face thing continues to be sad
But this is honestly good news my biggest worry about the game was how they'd roll out content and how content heavy the game will be. Hopefully they don't just dump the game on one of the studios post launch like they usually do with these things it'd be pretty cool if we had at least 2 making content. A gaas game that is singleplayer (with co OP if I want) sounds rad if they can keep up a good pace of post launch content.

I think the follow up article is even more important:

Someone should really make an Avengers discussion thread around here, just like Final Fantasy and Cyberpunk have. I mean, articles keep popping up with interviews, and we are barely discussing it. I do remember people's reactions to Spider-Man's first trailer and it truly wasn't that different from Avengers this year. The team formed to bring this together and what they are aiming for seems gold to me, I think we might have actual gameplay from the game shown off during SDCC, can anyone work on a fixed discussion thread for the game during this maybe?
