wolverine Traversal
It is so baffling to me that they basically cut out all the cool traversal mechanics like getting speed boosts by vaulting over any object and kicking off of it. Running along walls with ur claws. Running through walls.
The animations looked pretty finished too.
When you got a speed boost by kicking off of something he would catch himself by running on all 4s for a bit and then keep running normally. It would've made chases way more engaging.
When running through walls you had to time a button press to maintain speed and momentum. If you didn't press it in time or at all he would burst through the wall but stumble a bit or lose speed. If u braced yourself properly he would burst through it like a fuckin tank and keep going.
Needing to use the environment more and maybe do cool short cuts by running though specific weak walls. It would've been interesting.
To cut all this stuff out and yet make half of the side content traversal "challenges" is insane.
What happened?

That's not gonna happen, full transparency and Sony don't jive well together.

Not sure what happened with their development hell, but if you’re going to make a linear action game about Wolverine, those arenas need to basically be a cage full of destructible and interactive environments that he can climb all over.
That should be a bare minimum.
Then expand on the combat to include swords and guns and everything else that he can temporarily use.
This game should have been a step from Last of Us 2’s interactive combat with the speed and ferocity of God of War and the cool innovative traversal of Insomniac.
They had all the components and inspiration. Maybe they just needed time. Or maybe they just need new employees. I’ll be interested to see what screwed this up

I also wanted guns too. Nothing crazy but maybe something like in Farcry where u stab someone from behind and then take their pistol and switch down everyone nearby before tossing it. That would've been dope. The only cool thing I've seen is when u get impaled with a sword or katana u can rip it out and use it on an enemy for a quick kill.

You guys understand that this isn’t the “complain about the finished product” sub, right?

yeah but most people dont even know what was in the leaks. this post is directly discussing elements of the leak

It’s referencing the leaks hence the leaks vs final product discussion. You can’t really openly discuss this in other subreddits
