I’ll avoid discussing the story so as not to spoil it, but suffice to say I was engaged, even if at times I felt I was spending too long watching videos and not enough time using the controller.<\/p>\n
Clearly the developers were inspired by narrative adventures like Uncharted for this kind of storytelling, and the gameplay even feels similar at times with chase and climbing sequences.<\/p>\n
And while that game was genre-defining, it came out almost 20 years ago, so it’s hardly a favourable comparison.<\/p>\n
In fact, perhaps the biggest issue for Wolverine is that it doesn’t reinvent the wheel like Spider-Man did.<\/p>\n
It’s a game packed with tight combat and excellent performances, but it never threatens to meet the genre-defining heights of Insomniac’s previous offering.<\/p>\n
And Daly said there was a “monumental” amount of pressure that came with making the game following the success of Spider-Man – but as to whether the gamble paid off, he took a Zen view.<\/p>\n
“I measure success when I hear people talk to me about the game, who are Wolverine fans, and they say ‘thank you for making this, you nailed it’,” he said. <\/p>\n
“If I hear that, it’s like, yes, we did it. That’s what we set out to do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I’ll avoid discussing the story so as not to spoil it, but suffice to say I was engaged,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":767981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-767980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=767980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/767981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=767980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=767980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=767980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
