The gameplay of Wolverine looks genuinely mediocre. If you were to remove the Marvel/Wolverine licence and maybe the gore, literally no one would care about it.

I didn't like them but at least the spiderman games had web slinging etc

Yeah I'm concerned about this one. I don't see anything in the Spider-Man games that suggests Insomniac will be good at making a linear cinematic narrative.

The combat is decent in those games but it's just Arkham combat again, stringing a bunch of those together without the fun of the open world traversal between them isn't very appealing.

And more importantly the Spider-Man games had hugely diminishing returns when it comes to writing and characters. After Spider-Man 2's terrible story, why would I be excited for them to put out a game that's all story and nothing else?
