Ronnie Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 "More details on The Avengers project and other games will be announced in 2018." Modern gaming!
Retro_Link Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Crystal Dynamics off of Tomb Raider and Eidos Montreal of Deus Ex........ Consider me pumped!
Daft Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Meanwhile at Warner Bros.: "Let's release another Batman game."
Grazza Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 The imagery of Mjolnir, Cap's shield and Iron Man's gauntlet all beaten up reminds me of Tony's "premonition" in Age of Ultron, where the Avengers are defeated... looks like this is going to tie-in very heavily, story-wise, with Infinity War/Infinity Gauntlet. Hopefully these are truly great games in their own right.
Agent Gibbs Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 So Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain) and Eidos Montreal (Deus Ex).......... so we could get a Marvel Game that is a cross between Tomb Raider with Deus Ex, with its own unique flair? Sign me up now
Julius Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 This new job listing from Crystal Dynamics seems to suggest that the game will take after the likes of Destiny and The Division.

Happenstance Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 It’s hard to tell just from the trailer and the fact that there were way too many cuts happening between the action but I’m not sure I’m liking the look or feel of that game. Hoping it’s something that’ll just get ironed out. Everything looked like it felt just a bit too slow maybe?
MindFreak Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 The story seems promising and I like what I saw. Hopefully the gameplay will work with so many different characters. Looking forward to seeing more of it (though I probably won't be able to play it as I don't own a console for it).
bob Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 The characters look weird since they aren't using the usual faces or voices, but I thought the same with Spider-Man PS4 and that turned out ok.The gameplay looks a little.....confined? I realise it probably won't be open world, but to have flying characters and cage them into small areas, will make it feel very claustrophobic imo.
Ronnie Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 The action looked pretty generic, which I know is Marvel's thing, but I had hoped the gameplay might be a bit more interesting. Didn't look particualrly polished either. Oh well.

Hero-of-Time Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 This was a much more interesting trailer than what was shown at E3.
Hero-of-Time Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Quote To our fans,At Crystal Dynamics our ambition has always been to deliver the ultimate Avengers gaming experience. In order to achieve that goal, we have made the difficult decision to move the release date of Marvel’s Avengers to September 4, 2020.As fans ourselves, it’s an honor and a privilege to work with these legendary characters and we know what these Super Heroes mean to us and True Believers around the world. When we set out to bring you our vision for Marvel’s Avengers, we committed to delivering an original story-driven campaign, engaging co-op, and compelling content for years to come. To that end, we will spend this additional development time focusing on fine tuning and polishing the game to the high standards our fans expect and deserve.The worldwide teams working on Marvel’s Avengers sincerely appreciate the support you’ve shown us. We thrive on your enthusiasm and feedback and we can’t wait to show you more. We apologize for the delay. We’re confident it will be worth the wait.Scot Amos & Ron RosenbergCo-Heads of Studio, Crystal Dynamics For those wanting to buy it they may as well wait for the inevitable PS5/Xbox Series X versions of the game.

I had been planning on checking it out this weekend, but the guys I was planning on playing with have all ended up busy this weekend I have other stuff I need to get on with anyways, so guess I'll be waiting until the all platforms open beta next weekend. Because I'm sure the servers won't buckle then Definitely something I want to get my hands on regardless, might even just download the beta this weekend to dip in for an hour with some strangers. Not ideal, but I have so many questions about this game and it's progression system that I feel are best answered by checking the game out for myself. It's coming at a weird time for me though, because there are a number of games coming out from the start of September to the very start of October that I have my eye on, namely Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, the remake of Mafia, and then Star Wars Squadrons. So even if I quite like what I try of this game, I might end up just adding it to my wishlist and waiting for it to go on sale down the road, and once some of those potential kinks are ironed out.

Tried it out last night and it was surprisingly good fun, there is actually a pretty big single player section to play through before you get to try multiplayer if you was still thinking of trying it out. Probably won’t pick it up at launch but can see me getting it once Spider-Man and other heroes are added. 1
Julius Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 So I actually ended up checking out the beta expecting the single player stuff @Map mentioned to clock in like an hour or something, but nope. Way too long, after two missions it would allow you to invite players but wouldn't let you play with them, which was hilarious gave up in the end on trying to play with my friend, weirdly run beta. What I played wasn't especially fun, had little idea what was going on most of the time, and you'd enter a building, for example, and every corridor would look the same, and without a compass/objective marker it became tedious to move forwards. Also, weird checkpoints. Feel like it should've been opening mission (basically tutorial) > option to play either single player or multiplayer. Not opening mission > second SP mission > haha you thought this was a multiplayer game, here's a third SP mission > multiplayer. Drove me up the wall. Then we talked about this with the rest of our group and said we'd probably wait until it's on sale at Christmas, probably have worked out the kinks by then, but I think it inevitably will be on sale nonetheless. And then Square Enix decided to kill any chances of me playing the game anytime soon by announcing a $10 battle pass for cosmetics for each playable character from launch. That's insane. I don't even know how much backlash there might be, because I'm fully expecting this game to have been drowned out by the end of the month, as there's a LOT coming out next month (heck, I think it's going to have issues competing with Tony Hawk). While I'm sure this game might still have some noticeable early sales numbers, I think it's hard to maintain a community when things like this are brought up for the first time a week out from release, getting major Battlefront II vibes from keeping this so quiet (even if it is cosmetics only).
