Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey everyone, Dylan. Here at today's Sony State of Play,
they finally announced or I guess, showed off more of
Marvel's Wolverine. So me and Travis were doing a watch
along of the stream, and of course therefore when this
was shown off, and so what you're about to listen
to here is our live reaction to seeing this footage.
Of course, next week on side Quest we will break

(00:23):
it down in more detail any other information that comes
out in the next few days. Wanted to get this
out there so you can hear our initial thoughts, our
first impressions after finally seeing a lot more about this game.
So here you go. Enjoy longer than I can remember.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
No, that's Wolverine, like can tell by that voice. No,
Creatus biggest fight yet. Okay, we're again. Then here we go.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay, Doki, there's the bar that we've seen before.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
September twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Heaven.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh the suit at the suit?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Oh my god?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Got some bike action?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Where I go?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Good leaps?

Speaker 1 (01:14):
So he's in Japan. Oh, look at.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
That gore very much like the Arkham or the The
X Men origins game. That was just gore heavy, which
I absolutely redhead.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah what Omega Red in the twenty five new Omega Red.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Oh yeah, we're back.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Oh they got the heel factor.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I wonder if that's gonna be like the Origins game too,
because you could heal mid game. You'd go to like
a metal skeleton, then heal while you're playing. Yeah, oh
Mega Red, though, this looks.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
So what's the actor that he looks like? To meque
isn't here.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Peek here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
You hero?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well yeah, definitely sounds like they're trying to do some
Hugh JACKMANI ism a big Sentinel, big baby Sentinel.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
That was a big Sentinel fall twenty twenty seven, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Twenty six, don't scare people. Sorry.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, see, I still didn't think they'd show that off
because that is still a long ways away, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, we'll go back. We'll play through that trailer one
more time after Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Look at that. Look at that the wolverine dress shirt
or whatever he's got going on here.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
As the character in the comics.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Oh, this game's looking beautiful like Sperman does too, but something.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, I'm liking that little gold twinge in the logo.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
For some yeah, and for me, it's not saying this
looks better than Spiderman. I'm just liking the color. Like
the colors, they're like the aesthetic that's going on here.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, because with Spider Man, you know, sometimes they their
designs were maybe a bit too different. But this is
like a good mix.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, And I felt like he was very because it's
in New York, very like bright, like very sunny a
lot of time where they look like there's some sometimes
it looks a little cinematic at times, like the lighting
that's going on and like those bike chase scenes. But
again that looks like it's it has a different type
of cinematic like this right there, that that to me
is looking a little different than Spider Man there, Which
again that's a good thing that you don't got to
stay in New York, right you can play with those

(03:24):
environments where New York can only changed so much so
to deliver that performance with believability across both spectrums with something.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Look at that actor and he's the one we don't
need to see anybody else. Okay, I don't know who
that is James Logan, hablet, Liam McIntyre.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
That works, know what Wolverine is, who he is? See
British try and find the essence of who Wolverine is.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
This guy doesn't sound Canadian to me.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
No, we don't got a lot of him, Ozzy, Hugh Jackman.
They're we're gonna get a Canadian in there.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
It's one of the greatest.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I wonder if the X ME and nice Ven voice
actors is Canadian.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Someone in the chat list knows the actor for ninety
seven and the original series Canadian or up?

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, like you hat that fog going on there? Like
that's what I mean. Like this all almost makes me
want them not to set Spider Man three in New York.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
They have to, but I would love it if like
Spider Man's doing it somewhere Else's time, right, he's on
the run whatever. But I'm surprised we're getting such a
big look right now, but it's still being a year away.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Detail that we've never been able to do. Mm hmm.
You can see it in the trailer. Well maybe this
is their next big big Mama though, you know so,
I guess they're like getting getting hyped up detail.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's exciting that that's exciting for next year.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Man, we got a twenty twenty six is gonna be
oh yeah. For movies and games, there are so much
good stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Coming out.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Rooftop, and you can see the breadth of oh yeah,
look at that.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
It's always nice teasing the depth and the amount of
characters that we'll be seeing in the game. Omega Red makes.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
An appearance, is there, and there are some hints to
other characters that fans of Wolverine will recognize for sure.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Another visual element of Marvel's Wolverine Blood the Blood.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Blood Tech.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
There's a part of the trailer where Logan jumps down
and then he does the claws up through the face
that one.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
I thought maybe it was going to be taking it
too far, but I am so glad that we have
now far enough.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
No, the ship pulled through, not even under through.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Making that special, making that feel like him, making it
feel different to anything else you played.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's a tough job. What's so cool for me is
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
He sounds Australian. Now, I don't think he is rad
so I wonder if he's Australian as well as guy.
Oh no McIntyre, No, what are we talking about. He's Scottish.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Okay, sorry, I can't differentiate all the accent.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
He's Scottish. Never mind. Yeah, the name should have gave
him away. I like the suit too good obviously. I
hope like Spider Man, will get many different ways. Yeah,
that's Wolverine.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
One of the cool things about Insomnia is they are
probably the most collaborative group of people I have ever
worked with. They make you feel part of their team.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
That's not something you always get. This day is shooing,
have this drink? Liam?

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, we've made some of the greatest superhero games of
all time, and that was always the goal making games.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Wow, that's.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
The claim to say you do that. We're focused on
making the best Wolverine game ever, on behalf of everyone
games and the Wolverine especially.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
We want to thank you for taking time to watch
our trailer.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
We can't wait to show you more in Spring.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Of twenty six.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Spring going to get more Spring next update.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
That's nice. Yeah, give us a little window when we're
gonna hear more.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I love that cover everything about it. That's that's cool.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah. The it seemed more level based then full open world.
Would that be your interpretation?

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, I feel like it's.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Honestly, it reminds me a lot of the Bond look
we just got recently, where it looks like it's gonna
be almost Hitmen, and I think we talked about before
almost like hit Man, like where it is open world
in a sense.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
He is Australian. Okay, he sounded Australian, but his name
is McIntire. That's funny. But if it.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Reminded me of the Bond game and Hitman and sense
where I don't think it's gonna be like that, but
I mean like in a sense where here's the world,
here's a level, and you can traverse a lot of it,
or actually I don't think it's as big. I wonder
if you could get it as to the size like
Indiana Jones was that sort of way. I don't think
it will be like that, but you never know, right
because if they're like, oh, this is Japan and this
is this That's what I loved about Indie, where it

(07:47):
was like, okay, you have there three places. It's like
mini open world areas instead of it being you know,
just a huge like New.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
York obviously, right, so mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Look, yeah, look that him It out for PlayStation right there,
and most of those games are an early Spring coming up.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
So yeah, yeah, so other characters, because he was saying
if you're a big Marvel thing. You're gonna see more characters,
more hints at characters. Do you see any of those?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Not a match either? No, I don't unless I'm sure there's.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
No subtitles available for this someone to put those on. Okay,
I'm sure if someone like Pauses, well do a deep dive. Yeah, yeah,
I'm sure someone like pauses, there's gonna be like all
this tech or this that, but uh no, this is ah,
this is looking great. Not that I had any doubts
with Insomniac, right, but we always said, like, how is.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
It gonna look? And yeah, or even kind of.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Because I don't think it'll be a single not mind
it as single focused as like uncharted right where you
just PLoP down and do a mission Like I don't
think that, Like, I think there's still gonna be some elements,
but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's here's a question for you back here somewhere.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Wait, squamish squamish. Actually he's Canadian, right, so it probably
makes sense.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
So we're gonna be okay this here is this the
uh I always forget the name of the is it Quinjet? Blackbirds?
The Blackbird?

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
So is he like being deployed by the X Men,
you think, or is he kind of on his own
in this?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I think he'll like.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Started the mansion and there's gonna be something that pulls
him away where it's like, I gotta do this is
by myself and somebody will drop them off, whether it's
Beast or Scott, Like someone's gonna be drying that and
you're gonna blop down now. At the same time, maybe
that's what he could use to traverse. Maybe that's like, uh,
if you were to the same way, Let's say it
was like India Jones where we had different areas. You
could call the blackbird and Beast will come pick you up,

(09:35):
a rogue will come pick you up, be off, but
you do also this bike.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
But obviously a bike.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Ride from Squamish to Japan would be quite a while,
so not the fastest, not not ideal.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
So man, I'm a hype that we're going to Squamish,
you know, So show us to Southern Canada, you know.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, don't well yeah, southern don't trust Southern Canada where
we've talked about this, you know, Yeah, that's really exciting.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
So like that's what obviously the snow these sequences are
gonna be then.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
That's Japan right there. Obviously that might be Japan in
the data, I.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Think yeah, because there's some Japanese letters.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh, there's a lot Preble.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Like I said, I did want to have confirmation of
the healing factor mid game. They showed it off here,
but I don't know if it's gonna be in the
cut scenes. I would very much like them to steal
that from origins because I always thought that was cool
seeing the battle damage on you mm, slowly healing, but
you know the blood.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
I love that they're they're going for that. Obviously. I
imagine they have to get a mature rating because of this, Right.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, this was super violent. It seems like they're going
all out for it.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
And that definitely cuts out at least some people, even
though I bet most parents won't really look because it's
just Wolverine and they would just go out it's an
X Men game, right, But I think it's a game
that they'll look and see, oh, man, like, look, how
bloody it is?

Speaker 2 (10:52):
What did I buy?

Speaker 3 (10:53):
But of course there's some people, if they're really stickler,
they can look and see, Okay, this is a mature game.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Maybe I won't get it.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
But I think that's a good thing to differentiate yourself
because we already know you have Venom and Spider Man
three coming, so you can feel that mark already for
like the Family War basically.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
But oh yeah, I look at Mega Red our boy.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
He's looking good there so a little he's not looking
as pale as usual, but he's still looking.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, he's looking more human less cyborg, but yeah, I
mean he's still definitely got the cyborg factor too.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
I'm not gonna complain, like you said, we're gonna Mega
Red new content in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
It's been a minute, you know. Is he a playable
card in Marvel Arrivals.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Marvel Snap? Maybe he's not. He is in there here.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Okay, that's cool at least there so, but no, what
do you think about this trailer?

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
No, I think it's great. I still have so many
questions about like the open, open worldliness of it versus
like story factor of it. But seems like a bit
of a globe trodden adventure, which is which is fun
and kind of something different from what they've been doing
with Spider Man. So yeah, I think it looks great. Yeah,
I because though Mega I think I want to see
what that boss it actually looks like, you know, like

(12:02):
the tndrols and everything, because we kind of just saw
cut scenes and like mystique, how does she fit into
the picture, because she.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Can go anyway, right, she could be helping Logan, she
could be I bet you're gonna fight her.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
We don't really get a big main villain revealing this. No, yeah,
so it's just you know, but no, he won't.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
He's a he's a lackey boss.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, so that there's still so many things to learn.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
I wonder and if someone in the I guess it
would be Trask, maybe Industries, because the thing is there's
a lot of with uh what's his name, omego Red
and a lot of the other enemy types, lots of
cyborg looking people, So I wonder Trask. And actually it
probably could be Trask because at the end of the trailer,
the big thing is the sentinel coming to the ground.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
So I wonder it will be Trash.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh yeah, master mold situation.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, like something like that.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I could see where the big bad guy will be
a scientist and maybe they'll tie it in like it's
a scientist that worked on Logan, like they changed some
origin stuff, right, But that's what I'm wondering because we
saw lots of cyber tech people, so that's a vibe
that I think it's gonna be and ended with the Sentinel.
So that's my that's my year out prediction. It's ball
Or Trask or won the Trask Yeah, or uh Victor

(13:11):
I think he changed his name.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
But Victor Creed's son. Remember, he becomes like a like
he becomes like an anti.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Mutant and he's helping all that, so that could tie
in right to Sabertooth his son, all that type of stuff.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
So do you think you drive the bike or is
this just cut scene? I think, well, this is just
a cut scene. But do you think in the game
you'd actually drive around it all?

Speaker 2 (13:30):
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
No, I would love to, but I think I think
it's just just a cut scene unless you were like
playing it on the rail right where it's like you
get to drive the bike, but you are one point
A to point B. You're not going off route and
driving the people. I think just the Blackbirds dropping you off.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
So well, damn, there we go. We finally got Wolverine
and we know when we're gonna see him. Next roughly,
we know a season that we're gonna and I.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Feel good about that. I think it's coming, and it's
better than just that look of Wolverine at the bar, right,
you know.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
We got more of that.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
So yeah, and it was fun to get that shot
of the actor doing that same that same shot.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah, first when they showed his hands, like, man, this
scheme's looking really good. But then I realized it was
a real person. But hey, look at that OD trailer.
We're getting closer and closer, yeah, playing as real people.
But no, I think this was I think this was good.
It is like still a bit of a bummer that's
so far away, but you know, now fall, I got Halloween,
I got Wolverine. I'm mapping the fall months as we speak.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Don't forget about Halloween everyone.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
That September eight six. But I think this was a
really good trailer for people that wanting it. At least.
I think it like wenches the thirst for a little bit.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I'd say, so absolutely. Yeah, so we might, uh you know,
do a little mini or whatever side quest tonight talking
about that early if not next week or or both
or whatever. So yeah, stay tuned everyone, Thank you for
watching and yeah, we'll see you later. Boyebye,
