The debut « War Table » stream showed off a new mission, new faces, and MODOK, but Crystal Dynamics’s Avengers brawler still doesn’t demo as well as you’d expect.
When Crystal Dynamics’s Avengers game got delayed, it left a pretty large hole in the spring release schedule. I can’t say I was surprised though.Last year’s reveal didn’t go quite as smoothly as Square Enix (and Marvel) presumably hoped. The loudest detractors merely complained that the titular Avengers didn’t look like their film-screen counterparts, but concerns about level design and repetitive combat abounded as well.
Crystal Dynamics broke radio silence today to reintroduce Marvel’s Avengers in the first of what it’s calling its « War Table » streams. The bad news? It didn’t really alleviate any of my concerns—though it does feel like the faces are a bit different, as if they’re running right up to the line borrowing actors’ likenesses without needing a license.
