Other than the over-the-top nitpicking about character models and self-repair suits, I have nothing but positive reviews for Insomniac's brutality. wolverene game. But despite all the hype, the latest trailer Marvel's Wolverine It's being hijacked by angry PlayStation fans.
To be clear, fans didn't take issue with the trailer itself. Sure, some people aren't thrilled about the adaptation of Jean Grey's romance (and subsequent love triangle with Cyclops) in the world of Insomniac, but most love the game's CGI trailer. This highlights Logan's character, creates interest in Sabretooth's role since he was shown helping Wolverine, and confirms that Lady Deathstrike will be one of many villains appearing in the game. The overall action is spectacular, as the trailer serves to promote the September 15th release. But when I look at the comments, I see nothing but negative content.
Marvel's Wolverine is an easy target for those protesting PlayStation's disc decision.
All it takes is a quick look at the YouTube comments section or the social media threads linked to the trailer to see the outrage itself, but websites like Eurogamer have captured numerous gamers taking pictures at Sony instead of focusing on the trailer. Some commentators joke that Sony has decided to stop supporting physical games in 2028. Examples were given, including a meme of Wolverine holding up a photo. Except this time, it's a classic “shared game” ad photo from PlayStation for PS4. Others talk about the precious photo of Logan from the trailer that shows the importance of physical media, and even more, about their excitement at owning a disc version of the game.
As it's one of PlayStation's next big first-party releases, Marvel's Wolverine We are falling victim to these player protests. But it's not the only game affected by Sony's decision. Every social media post and trailer posted on the official PlayStation account is full of jokes and negative comments. Whether Marvel Token If fans are interested in Ghost Rider's “real” car, or where the wind meets Nicknamed “Where the Discs Meet” by angry fans, players aren't giving up on Sony and the games it advertises.
As disappointed as gamers are, not to mention other developers across the industry, it seems highly unlikely that Sony will change its stance on physical copies at this point. PlayStation's largest disc manufacturing plant is already pivoting from game production to micro-optics, so if Sony were to change course and change direction, it would certainly cost the company quite a bit of money to find a new production site. Unpopular with physical collectors and game preservation fans, PlayStation's digital future seems locked down. That doesn't mean these comments will stop any time soon. But it's equally likely that this PR nightmare for Sony will continue for weeks before gamers turn their anger elsewhere.
