Marvel’s Wolverine: 13 New Details We Just Learned

Marvel’s Wolverine: 13 New Details We Just Learned https://ift.tt/kux5qyv Marvel's Wolverine looks like it'll be one of the biggest games of September-- which is a stacked month --as the new single-player adventure from Insomniac Games is aiming to put a fresh spin on the iconic mutant. At San Diego Comic-Con, multiple members of Insomniac hit the stage to talk about the game, the dark world that Marvel's Wolverine takes place in, and how the character has been modernized for his first solo outing since 2009. In case you missed it, here's a breakdown of all the new details revealed during the panel, ahead of the release of Marvel's Wolverine on September 15. Earth-1048 is this Wolverine's home dimension While Insomniac has mentioned it before, the studio did once again confirm that its Wolverine game is set on the same alternate Earth as Marvel's Spider-Man, Earth-1048.

Sonic Superstars Review - Reaching for Stars

Sonic Superstars Review - Reaching for Stars https://ift.tt/n2jzqf8

Sonic as a franchise is notoriously inconsistent, offering up some amazing highs, some truly dire lows, and a fair few games that are forgettably mediocre. But then there's that one weird category several Sonics fall into: games that are obviously, undeniably flawed in some way, but still have that something that makes a Sonic game feel special. Maybe not everyone can feel what makes them great, but for others, those qualities will overshine all of the negatives. Sonic Superstars is one such game, one with glaring flaws that I happen to like a lot.

We all know how it goes by now: Sonic's arch-nemesis Dr. Eggman is up to no good, and he's got his eye on a new locale whose resources he can exploit for evil schemes. It's up to Sonic and his BFFs, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, to stop the Doctor, recover the Chaos Emeralds, battle the returning but obscure fan-favorite villain Fang the Sniper, and meet a brand-new buddy to save the day. Accomplishing this task involves zipping through 11 themed side-scrolling zones while collecting rings, bonking Badniks, and dealing with each area's distinct gimmicks and threats. No melodramatic story scenes, RPG or sim elements, or awkward romances here: It's pure, classic Sonic platforming.

That doesn't mean it's entirely devoid of new ideas, however. All of the zones are brand-new: Familiar elements from previous games like gimmicks and enemies might return, but every stage is an original. Collecting a Chaos Emerald now grants a special Emerald Power players can put to use at almost any time, provided they have the energy for it. And--perhaps the biggest new twist of all is that Sonic Superstars now supports four-person couch co-op multiplayer. Sure, somebody could pick up the player 2 pad and flail around as Tails in Sonic 2 and 3, but that was extremely limited; what we have here in Superstars is a unique kind of controlled chaos (pun intended).
