X-Men: Destiny (Video Game)

Post by Ult_Sm86 »

Here's an early look at X-Men: Destiny, the upcoming X-Men RPG (sorta) where you choose your side-- Brotherhood, or X.

I'll be honest, I agree with a lot of the comments. Kurt looks like some kind of hipster, not a circus guy, and Gambit is keeping his 90's attire while everyone else is up to date. I don't get that.

And though the char-sets are going to differ, if the options are as limited as the previews show (from a recent videogame-con, video on that later when I fetch it), for a better part of the game you're gonna be running around like you belong in a Tony Hawk: Pro Skater.

For the most part, that seems to be the entire direction of the game actually. Do missions/favors, choose your side. I imagine it's like 'InFamous' & 'Tony Hawk' together, but with X-Characters.


Either way, there's a lot to look forward to and a lot to be skeptical about. What do you cats think?

Teaser for the game. Well, one of them. I think there's another now though.

The gameplay doesn't look too bad, nor does the concept art. Well, besides Kurt. He looks awful. Good or bad though, I'll still want to play it.

The concept art for Kurt isn't bad just wildly out of character. Which concerns me.

I meant awful for Kurt, considering it is out of character, not that the art itself is bad. Guess I could've been more specific. ;)

Personally, I think Gambit looks kickass. His "90's attire" is his classic uniform and he still uses it in canon, so it's not really just "90's". lol.

And, thankfully for Kurt, it is just concept art... So hopefully they'll fix that. ><

All in all, I'm all for a new x-men game. Especially one with Gambit. :shifty

Dammit, I love my husband. We watched the teaser, and the silhouette animation for what I believe is the girl player character resulted in the following comment: "Who is that? Sailor Moon?"

Ahem.

Other than the goatee, I don't think the concept art for Kurt looks so bad. He looks like he's undercover as a street performer, given the shirt with the X-logo under the jacket. Anatomically, his ears might be a little too long, the toe-like heel a bit too pointy, and the eyes not fully yellow; but they didn't make him ugly.

I'm not that crazy about the concept art for Kurt.:
But the silhouette of Kurt in the teaser trailer looks different. He's definitely wearing boots so maybe (IMHO hopefully) they'll put him in a uniform instead of bell-bottoms.lol
