E3 2019: Avengers Game's Character Designs Won't Change After Backlash, Dev Says

Personally I don't have an issue with it. The film characters are not like the comics, but a likeness of them

Especially if the game is good

Well they look friggin fugly as hell lol ? they're like the fake knock off Avengers toys your aunt would buy you from the Dollar store lol ?

Well they look friggin fugly as hell lol ?

Is that Hank Pym or Hank Scorpio?

People need to stop crying so much over something this insignificant.

Do people know how much they would have to pay in royalties to these actors to use their likeness? I don't blame the decision. Usually when a game does this it's never more than 2 people. This game is not going to make enough money to warrant a giant budget.

I didn't expect or even want the MCU actors... but I didn't expect Steve Rogers to be rocking some weird fat-neck, 50-year old, dad-bod. I didn't expect Bruce Banner to look like an Apt 9 model hahaha, or Tony Stark to look like the lead in a Foo Fighters cover-band XD XD XD. They. Look. Bad.

The absolute worst part though? "Where's Hawkeye!?" hahahaha best part of E3 was the crowd yelling that back at them.

Good. They look fine. It's just shock from being so used to seeing the actors play them all this time.

Don't ever be bullied by online mobs. Trust me, they'll buy it anyway, or not. They get more of a rush from bullying creatives than from actually enjoying the products.

see also, snakes on plane. After catering so much to online demands, the film bombed anyway, despite them doing everything people supposedly wanted.

They don’t look great but do you guys really thing Square Enix would have been able to pay the actors? It’s crazy. Not to mention the schedule nightmare. I am pretty sure Disney would not accept a deal like that anyway. Forget it. And if they went all in on the likeliness...people would have complained anyway. They look Uncanny, ah the voice actor is not as good as Downey Junior etc etc.

If the gameplay is there, I can definitely get past the weirdish looks.

Okay well i get you’re not REALLY listening to player feedback, Square, but this would be far cheaper to implement: just add paper bag mask options for all characters, including for when/if they take off their hero masks

It's not that they don't look like the MCU characters, it's that they look and sound like the MCU stunt doubles wearing the MCU costumes. It's like they kiiiinda went for the MCU look. I don't know, they just look weird. It's not like there was an outcry that the PS4's Spider-Man didn't look like Tom Holland. They created their own version of Peter Parker. These guys just look like they went half-way with their designs, not committing to the MCU look but still basically using the same outfits and styles. Just feels amateurish.

So, to be clear, these designed (that would very clearly be disliked), didn't have any fan input, or they deliberately disregarded it... and now, they're disregarding fans upon the reveal saying " We are always listening to, and welcome feedback from our community"?

Yes.

Dead on arrival

If it’ll be like Spider man, I’ll gladly play it. Hit it up with some online coop to make a real avenger team to battle scenarios would be a winner for me.

It makes sense that they'd look off, we're used to either seeing them drawn and coloured in comics or seeing specific actors playing them. I think this is the first time we've seen them properly outside either of those. (Excluding a few other games with more comic-inspied art styles.)

While I don't think the new designs are particularly great, if the game is good I'm still willing to get used to them, just like I do when a new artist takes on a character in the comics. Even if Thor and Cap could stand to shed a few pounds...

This sounds like a low key "If you don't like it, don't buy it" from Square Enix, but they don't want the fallout EA got when they said that about Battlefield V.

I don't care that they don't look like the movies. I care that they look terrible. But let's not kid ourselves, not making them look like the film characters and capitalizing on the success of those films is a brainless move.

I am glad they are going to make their product what they want it to be. Art, in all of its forms is from the artist. It's not a vote, it's not ever meant to please every person.

I respect this move.

So they love to listen to feedback... but all the feedback was "your character designs sucked"... and their stance is "great, thanks for your input. We aren't changing squat."

Sounds like they don't listen to feedback. Liars.

I didn't expect them to look like the movie celebs, but why do they all look like their siblings?

I think it's funny that people hated on Black Cats design in Spiderman which honestly was fine... then Square Enix comes up with this lol.

Thank god i have a Switch for Ultimate Alliance 3

the only problem with Ultimate Alliance is the art style but the gameplay has me sold, the banter betweeen characters no matter hwo you pick there is all kinds of banter options thats what i want!

I dont want the game to feel too scripted, Ulaitmate allaince will have alot of replay value

this looks like a playable CGI avengers movie that ic an just watch someone go through on youtube

So they make shitty standard costumes and sell the ones that should be the standard ones, and insist on keeping the plastic faces avengers? I pass.
