That game (Forspoken) is going to live and die on animation/latency balance. Looks fluid in a trailer but I have a feeling it’ll be more Prince of Persia 2008 than DMC.
Was that a teaser for … Radiohead x Fortnite?

Fortnite wasn’t mentioned at all in the fine print trademark notices at the end of the trailer, so I guess Epic is involved but it’s not a Fortnite event

It’s weird how many Marvel games are coming out at a point when Marvel movies (while obv still popular) seem to be received with much quieter praise. I think very few big Marvel games were coming out in the decade leading up to End Game. Reminds me of how few star wars games there were while the new movies were coming out. Can’t do both at once like what was happening in the early 2000s?

I will admit I sorta like the look of that Guardians of the Galaxy game 
I think the actual car guy on the movie comes up with all that cause that’s also how he sounded talking about them on the special features. he’s a true poet

that’s great, I was assuming it came out of the backstory comic they wrote
All the names in that movie are next-level rad-dumb, my favorite kind of dumb

The funniest thing about the new wave of marvel games is how all the characters look like even further watered down versions of bland MCU actors. Like, for everyone afraid Chris Pratt had too much character

Also Moon Over the Castle is the best. Not sure why they cut it out after the pre-amble to play something much less interesting in the GT7 trailer.

My assumption is that it’s cheaper? I would assume there’s probably either extra licensing fees or some kind of more arduous approval process for the actual actors.
And if Disney ever recasts between the start of development and the end of development, I imagine that could lead to some development headaches too.
But this is just pure speculation on my part.

definitely not cheaper
I think under a photorealistic art style, all the art direction is trying to solve similar problems as the movies. No matter how much they resist it, they find themselves pulled towards the same answers as the movies for the same reasons - costumes need to be made of plausible materials, faces are face-scans and performance capture and so not stylized. And the movies are a stronger binding communication all the artists reference next to anything the directors can communicate.
What a silly set of constraints to place upon yourself.
