Wolverine - Ain't No Hero - New Trailer

I'm confused, are all of the female mutants supposed to be in their 50's? What's the story reason for that? Why not choose to go with the younger versions?

You know the answer.

Women cannot be attractive anymore. Sony made this very clear after countless first party studios either tone down beauty faces and bodies or just putting middle age women without any sight of butt or boobs, aka Returnal.

As cool and brutal as it is, I think it would get old, quick. I enjoyed the combat in the SM games and expect to in this as well but was hoping for something a little different I guess. I think he might look cooler without the helmet or more muscle mass. Maybe the other suits will help with his look.
 
The more I see of this game, the less I'm interested and happy to spend more money on the gta 100 dollar version. Was hoping Insomniac would pull through.
 
The gameplay trailer suggested that he was meeting her for the first time. He was following her trail and didn't have her name. The leaks did that too.
Huh? He called her red. Thats his nickname for her.

He definitely knows her.

The game to me seems like it's being told over periods of his timeline with flashbacks. At one point he's teaming up with sabretooth instead of fighting him.

Just my theory, but I think that's just a name he has given her because he is already following the trail of a redhead. They don't meet eyes, so it seems he is just speaking to himself when he calls her Red. The leaks had him sniffing around, searching for a redhead as well. Likely happening before the gameplay scenes. I remember seeing a mission title named that way in the leaks too.

He wouldn't be holding on to a photograph of happy times with Jean if she is still alive and actively part of the new story. That clearly indicates the woman in the picture is dead. Which can be a bit confusing as she doesn't look dramatically different than Jean Grey. And if Jean dies in the game, they wouldn't spoil something like that in a CGI trailer. Hence my guess that Logan has a type and the pic is that of his ex...

Focusing the debate on women being attractive to virtual characters created by polygons has always struck me as interesting....

...Interesting, like a mental illness.

Let's have a test, can you spot the picture that looks out of place?

At least to me, the one in this game is not even comparable to the looks she's had in most other appearances.

So why? Why does she look so unlike her normal self? What reason do they seek to change her?

Why don't they change other characters like Wolverine to the extent they changed LDS?
 
I should be excited for a Wolverine game by insomniac. Their games are very impressive, but their writing this generation has been awful.

Spiderman 2 probably had the worse writing I've seen. So instead of a day one, I will probably wait and see.
 
I like PLAYING these games made by Insomniac but lets be honest, their character designs are so fucking sterile.

I consider myself a decent Marvel fan (when it comes to the comics) and I had no idea that was Lady Deathstrike in the trailer until after the fact.

Insomniac Marvel is just a bunch of normal looking people playing semi dress-up. Seriously where is the aesthetics and personality in ANYONES design.

I hope people will give them hell in comments.
That would be the case if people were saying, "I'm not buying this game or anything else in the PlayStation ecosystem, until Sony reverses its decision to phase out physical media."

But they aren't. People in the comments are saying they're going to buy the physical edition of the game.

Some "hell" for Sony: thousands of angry comments from people promising to buy their next game.

Not like the people who fantasize with making women look like androgynus freaks. Those are not mentally ill.

Also Horizon, The Last of Us 2, Ghost of Yotei, and Concord. Plus we have God of War:Feminist and Intergalactic to look forward to as well.

It's a rule that the women must look as masculine as the men without any of their charisma/legacy to pass Sony's acceptable female test.

Interesting, preferring attractive women = mental illness.

What's your opinion on men dressing up as women to stalk, harass, and rape little girls and real women, and then having the government pay for their genital mutilation?

What about feminists unironically saying shit like 'I'm abstaining from normal heterosexual relationships because I hate me so much" or the whole bears vs men meme?

Is it normal behavior for Western game developers to make lame excuses for their continued failures and blame everything on 'Da ChUdS' like 5 year old children?

What about male feminists saying characters like Eve "literally kills women" even though 97% of them are just predators and creeps themselves?

Is all that kind of behavior normal because that kind of retardation all screams mental illness to me, not some guys liking feminine faces and titties and ass on a woman, digital or not.

Your attempt at being clever was amusing though. 4.17/10 bait.

If you crop just the portrait from the (terrible) Lady Deathstrike photo, she could pass for my aunt in her 50s with dyed black hair. It's almost uncanny.

Why is my aunt fighting mutants in the new Wolverine game?

Is Lady Deathstrike supposed to look like an old woman?

According to Google:
Lady Deathstrike (Yuriko Oyama) is generally portrayed as a young adult in her late 20s to early 30s. Her exact age is rarely stated because her cyborg body slows down aging. In the movie X2: X-Men United, actress Kelly Hu appeared in her mid-30s.

There's no way in hell the Lady Deathstrike in the photo for this game is a day under 40 and that's being generous. Here's some google photos of Japanese women in their 30s (and we could have even gone younger, in their 20s instead by the lore, which would really skew the comparison - but we don't even need to):

Do they look just like our Lady Deathstrike? You decide.

Personally I could give 2 squirts of piss if its a masculine ass abby, an androgynus freak of nature, or sexy ass Laura Croft. I just want the game to look visually amazing and play equally as amazing i think those obsessing over how masculine a girl is or isnt are both equally mentally ill.

I would just like the characters to actually look like they are supposed to look. The game's style already is set, so the least I hope for now is we get comic book characters that actually look like the comic book characters.

But it's cool if you don't give a shit what they look like too. That's fair. I'll still be disappointed with how very few X-Men games we get that aren't fighters or gacha games, so when we finally get one, and it looks so much worse than Rivals, Tokon, MUA3, and almost every other single X-Men game ever made, on any platform even mobile ones like Contest of Champions, well that sucks.

So far we've had Jean, Lady Deathstrike and Mystique - all quite disappointing. But hey, at least the men all look good! I am just disappointed they are choosing the make the women all look not very cool or inspiring like their comic book looks.

Rivals looks straight up pornographic compared to this game.

Fair enough if you're paying for it should be to your liking and belive me if they tried to turn wolverine into an androgynus purple haired freak I wouldn't give them one red cent 😆 but I really dont care if the supporting cast girls look middle aged or masculine or like anime porn girls

Yeah, I guess in the end if it has good word of mouth, it really doesn't matter, I'll end up buying it. Right now there's little to talk about, and I do want it to be good, I want it to be better, I'd love it if it ended up my GOTY. Nothing would be happier than seeing an X-Men themed game end up my GOTY.

And hell, I made it through the entire X-Men Evolution cartoon, where they gave rogue a double chin, and gambit had the worst bob cut I've ever seen. So in the end I'll get used to it. It's fun to complain right now though.

But you want me to believe Wolverine vs this Lady Deathstrike is a tough fight for Wolverine? That's a much harder sell than the Lady Deathstrike from the comics. Or I'm supposed to see Mystique as the personification of beauty like in the comics, and Jean as the strongest mutant which ever lived? So many of them just don't carry that weight like the comics do. And it's not a problem unique to this game either, there's been some fucking duds in the movie world too.

But hopefully the game ends up good!
 
She looks like in her 60s by Asian standard.

Say goodbye Lady Deathstrike, we've got Granny Deathstrike now! It's the Evie model everyone really wanted - way too old is the new way too young.

Ultimately she just doesn't look cool one bit. And it's a shame because normally Lady Deathstrike has a very intimidating and strong presence. And there's nothing wrong with heroes or villains that don't look cool. It works sometimes for me, like Nathan Fillion from Superman looks terrible for Green Lantern, but god damn does he pull it off so well. I ended up liking him the most out of everyone in that movie. Let's hope somehow this booming Granny does the same.
 
That asian granny will make perfect dynamic adult diapers duo with this ancient artifact:

:messenger_ok:

Nick Fury has always been on the older side though. He does look a bit more natural as a woman above than a white man to me though, in the older X-Men animated shows he was white and that just looks racist now. Taking the iconic Nick Fury of today and making him white, even if it's all those years back, definitely shocking, and tough to digest.

It's not about being beautiful. It's about LOOKING COOL.

A SUPERHERO MUST LOOK COOL


So, tell me, how on earth that Asian granny looks cool? And yes, in most cases looking cool also means being somewhat attractive. Or at least, not straight up repulsive.

It's really sad this needs any explanation. I hate it when normal people willingly lower their IQ to make any debate impossible.

The thing is they made her calisto :)

None of them look consistent so I'm not sure what you're getting at. In some of them she looks completely weird.

Yeah, she just seems poorly cast. Would make an awesome gender swapped Nick Fury. Even has the pissed off all the time look to her.

To be fair, Callisto is a mutant I've never really learned much about or if I have seen her, she's been mostly forgettable. And in the video thumbnail comic form, from your link she does appear older I guess, in that one picture. So if the game is good and they do a great job with her, maybe I'll know more.

But the timeline of this game is very questionable. When does it take place? The future - after the X-Men are all formed and disbanded? I guess that makes sense why everyone looks older, but before I had thought it took place before the X-Men were created, but that makes no sense.

And the genealogy of X=Men relations are kinda crazy when you start going in - Cyclops has a brother, Havoc, Nightcrawler is Mystique's son, Quick Silver is Magneto's kid, and Scarlet Witch is his sister. Hell, every mutant is pretty much the father/brother/daughter of another popular mutant and you just don't know it. Sabretooth and Wolverine are brothers. At some point it feels like all the mutants are from the same family tree if you just go back a few generations. Literally every character you know is some other character you know closest family member, but you didn't know that because they never say it.

True, they all look quite different. But none of them look as dumb as this:

That is not any Lady Deathstrike I've ever seen. Even the pics of the cosplayers look better than that.

She looks fine to me, matches her comicbook outfit better too than her in Avengers Doomsday while her face matches the movie more. She looks dumb as hell in some of the comics and animated series though so I disagree that none look as dumb. Especially her goofy eyes in the animated series:
