This is largely what I was going to post. Spider-man made photorealism work really well. The costume design is really off, though. I don't know why they went the direction they did, but it just doesn't work.

The bad look of Square Enix's Avengers game is making Marvel Ultimate Alliance: The Black Order looks good

Do you really think it would be smart for him to just try to do a caricature of RDJ? No. Instead he will be focusing on giving a strong performance. You don't need to warp your voice to make a great performance.
Agreed. Ultimate alliance looks nowhere good as this game, lmfao... era makes me crack up.
The reality is this game will sell gang busters , and outside of the people on this forum everyone online is excited and could care less about "models" because they are casual gamers and want to fuck up stuff as hulk or Ironman/Thor. Combine that with kids who's just saw endgame and they'll love playing a character that "acts" like the MCU component - look at the LEGO marvel games and the proof is there.
SIde note: captain isn't staying dead right? Heard somewhere that the shield throwing mechanic feels like god of war
I'm more interested in the Square Enix game tbh. The notion of another gaas Marvel game is very exciting to me. Sure it might be shit but I am more likely to play it for much longer than the Switch game. I'll get the Switch one though for sure if the reviews are good.
He doesn't need to do Downey's voice. But Nolan's regular voice is fucking Deadpool. It's kind of hard to take Tony Stark seriously when he's talking in the exact same voice as Deadpool.
I just think its random that people are being so negative over it when it doesnt look bad. Just doesnt look like the mcu actors. Its a wonder a game like this even gets made and people decide to be nit picky and cry
I didnt like and still don't like how some of the MUA3 characters look, but Avengers made it look so much better retroactively.
Still think MUA3 can be improved a lot.

You just need normal good eyes. On the other hand if you think Avengers looks better. Y I K E S.
Someone described Thor as a Soul Calibur create-a-soul and I can't get over it.
Let's not say things we can't take back.
Captain America looks alot like the way he's drawn in the comics, moreso Butch Guice...
Thor's hair should have been cut short but otherwise I don't see how it didn't undeniably look like the Thor we aren't all used to...
He looks like someone dressed an unconscious Jeff Bridges in cheap cosplay as a joke.
I mean it's not Diablo where you have 5 customizable characters with relatively similar builds. Mua3 has somewhere over 37 characters in the base game alone and honestly it's way more loot than the original game's
Getting a little carried away with this take. Just cuz the faces are divisive doesn't mean it looks like a mobile game.
It's just poor art design. If you're going the realistic route, you're gonna need incredible art design and the AAAA budget to match. Spider-Man PS4 and RDR2 both have the realistic artstyle and both look fucking INCREDIBLE.
In this case, you have a somewhat poor looking realistic game and a decent looking cartoony game. The decent looking cartoony game will win that battle every time.
Hoping they can fix this between now and launch. I'd be fine with a delay tbh. Most impressions of the gameplay demo at e3 said the game just looks and feels very early in development.

Honestly thats kind of a perfect description of the first image in the op lol
The reaction was instantaneous. Every single person that saw it (that I know) made fun of Cap and the rest. They didn't stylized them or changed them enough. They could have build their own design interpretation but choose to follow a ... "realistic but ...worse than the actual MCU characters" style ? Why?
If you are not going to change them, but also not going to make them the same , then of course people will prefer the actual look. Movie cap looks 900% better than this blonde dude in a realistic art style. Same with Tony and the rest.
already told my brother if he wants the superior marvel game hes going to have to get a switch. MU:A 3 looks so good
Ahem. Excuse me.
I haven't gotten used to the white spider. It still looks terrible.
That's it.
They've been the voices of Black Widow & Thor since 2012 (MvCI & probably MUA3 included). Marvel even forced Capcom to recast Chun-Li in MvCI since Marvel called dibs on Laura.

More like they couldn't decide on whether they should model the characters after the MCU Avengers. And their designs look ugly (except Hulk)
And she's horribly bland. Absolutely no personality or uniqueness to the voice. I know she's basically best buddies with all the voice directors in the gaming industry nowadays, but I kinda expect something distinctive out of a Black Widow voice, not just "stock, off-the-shelf Laura Bailey".
Avengers looks terrible, the art direction is bland and there's weird uncanny valley going on.
Also, it's pathetic how people are resorting to 'UA3 looks like a mobile game!!111one'. My god, are you all so incapable of conveying thoughts properly that this is the only form of criticism you can make?

MUA3 indeed looks cool! And they brought their own Lara Croft :v
Nintendoes what SquareEin't
And so many cool characters!

Yeah, the characters in that trailer look off. Something about Cap looks weird too. Like his armor is too bully and as a result makes it look like he has a beer belly.
MUA3 doesn't look like a mobile game. I should know, I play lots of mobile games!
Which is nowhere near those games, lol.
I said aesthetics. Now if we talk about gameplay after MvC2 and UMvC3... Yeah, no lol
All of the reboot Tomb Raiders are terrible, and Nioh is better than anything Crystal Dynamics has ever made.
The problem could be that the Avengers game has probably not the budget for such an realistic artstyle. Now it's looks just cheap.
The Switch game looks definitely not high budget too, but it looks good nonetheless, because the artstyle is just easy on the eyes without uncanny.

Having to be honest...
Tomb Raider since 2006 sends her regards...
Crystal Dynamics is not a studio known in terms of delivering tight game mechanics, or a tight plot. They can create some interesting cinematic set pieces though (But for Tomb Raider that wasn't the ideal)
Their best Tomb Raider worked on the back of Core Design's layout (Anniversary).
Key people from Crystal was still at the helm. Eidos Montreal was more grunt work (Sadly, because they could have given it their own spin? Dunno)
