Marvel’s Avengers is a rare-earth neodymium snark magnet. It’s based on the most recognisable heroes on Earth, but starring what looks like their stunt-doubles. Though it meant Nate got to do this, it’s also made everyone a bit wary of what’s coming down our game tubes.

I imagine that Crystal Dynamics felt the best way to get ahead of that is let everyone take an extensive look at the game, which we have below. It’s splashy, swoopy, and restless, but it also adds another element of questionable authenticity: the quips are bloody awful.

‘We’re pursuing the truth of the subject matter,’ say Crystal Dynamics on the unfamiliar faces of Marvel's Avengershttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/marvels-avengers-interview-noah-hughes-crystal-dynamics-e3-2019Brendan CaldwellFri, 14 Jun 2019 10:09:54 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/marvels-avengers-interview-noah-hughes-crystal-dynamics-e3-2019Marvel's AvengersFeatureBlockbusterCrystal DynamicsSquare EnixAction AdventureInterviewE3 2019

We all remember A-day. The infamous day in US history when San Francisco came under attack by skull-faced bad dudes, and the Avengers showed up to stop them. The superheroes flew in to display their skills at bash ‘n’ dash combat (almost as if this was a demonstration for the press). There was Thor, Iron Man, and Black Widow, all fighting goons. It was exciting and explosive. But something was off about the Avengers that fateful day. They just didn’t seem... themselves.

I’m talking about the fairground ride faces of the recently revealed Marvel's Avengers. I asked creative director Noah Hughes of Crystal Dynamics if he thought people would be happy enough to see a Hulk that doesn’t look a jot like Mark Ruffalo. He said inspiration comes from “a breadth of Marvel content”, not just the movies.

“We’re always pursuing the truth of the subject matter,” he said.

After so many years of the big screen being dominated by the Avengers as portrayed by Evans, Hemsworth and company, it’s great to see the limelight passed on to some less well-known interpretation of the famed superheroes. Namely, those daubed on the side of janky-looking ferris wheels which appear without warning on turd-strewn commons across the UK.

Matt: This is it. The final blog down. Square Enix are about to tell us about what they're up to, and we've both reported to our liveblogging stations for the very last time. Both Cheerer and Jeerer have one more opportunity to don their respective masks of love and loathing, but who will take up each mantle?

Actually, forget I asked. Jetlag has snuck up on us both and filled our hearts with jeer, but I'm the one writing this intro so I get to bagsy it. Plus it's my turn anyway. Nuh-nuh.

Square Enix and Marvel, avenging in a treehttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/square-enix-marvel-gamesAlec MeerThu, 26 Jan 2017 15:24:51 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/square-enix-marvel-gamesMarvel's AvengersCrystal DynamicsSquare EnixEidos-MontrealMarvelAction Adventure

Yesterday, Square Enix announced that they'd be announcing something today, as that's how marketing works now. Yesterday, Marvel also announced that they'd be announcing something today, but no-one knew if they meant a film, a comic, a TV series or that Ike Perlmutter had ordered that Captain America was henceforth to be depicted as an outspoken climate change denier.

Different companies announce different stuff on the same day all the time, but there was something even more needlessly vague than usual about these two, and so a few souls put two and two together and speculated that it could be same announcement - Square Enix publishing a Marvel game. Whaddaya know, true believers? They were right. Except it's games, plural. And both Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal are on the case.
