After Marvel's Avengers, Square Enix is once again taking on the Marvel universe with a brand new production: Guardians of the Galaxy.
The game invites you to take control of Star-Lord and set off with his friends (Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Rocket and Groot) on a third person adventure.
In addition to offering spectacular clashes against monstrous beings, the game will allow you to make choices that will influence the unfolding of the story.

Finally, Guardians of the Galaxy will be singleplayer and won't include DLC or microtransactions.
October 26 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One & Xbox Series

This was clearly not created as a separate game because the engine/gameplay/animations all are from The Avengers game and was most likely an expansion for it but after it flopped they decided to make...this. Looks cringe.

EDIT: Lmfao the dialogue thing looks incredibly fake or tact on late. I swear if you ppl fall for this shit again...

 

[Radical Dreamer]

hard pass

 

[Ezquimacore]

Starlord is a final fantasy metrosexual and you get to play with him.

 

[KyoZz]

I feel like this game arrives 8 years too late.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Not gonna buy it until 75% discount

 

[bender]

Starlord is a final fantasy metrosexual and you get to play with him.

 

[Hugare]

Game looks fun, but the crew has no charisma at all

Hated their designs

 

[Certinty]

Doesn’t look good but also doesn’t look bad. Will probably get it just because I’m a Marvel fan.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Nope. Missed the mark completely. I'm not sure why SE makes these creepy game models for marvel games.

 

[Chukhopops]

Holy moly that was terrible from start to finish. They didn’t even try to make Starlord look charismatic, just straight out of a custom character creator.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Absolutely abysmal gameplay. Why can't we just get a half decent hack and slash with TP shooter elements?

 

[martino]

what i learn here :
Disney regret this marvel deal with square not because of one game but two

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Strange that it seems single player only. Figured GOTG would be a for sure 4 player co-op game

 

[Toons]

Looks cool to me but wish you could play all of em

 

[MonarchJT]

it seem tens time better that what avengers is .....i don't get the hard hate is getting

 

[Kholinar]

To be honest, I honestly think the gameplay is fine, but the graphics and level design are just so, SO cross-gen.

 

[[Sigma]]

The only thing that came to my mind while watching that trailer is that "this game would look so much cooler/fun/interesting if Insomniac was making it".

 

[Ezquimacore]

it seem tens time better that what avengers is .....i don't get the hard hate is getting

it's just collective hate based on the avengers game, but tbh the gameplay looks a bit stale... still better than those marvel ultimate alliance games.

 

[TonyK]

I can't believe they did face swapping again after the Avengers fiasco

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Looks decent to me.

 

[balls of snow]

Sorry Eidos, buying it on sale. Where's the level design, this looks like as linear as the worst Uncharted.

 

[kretos]

looks good, glad it's a single player not multiplayer trash

 

[Tallahassee]

it seem tens time better that what avengers is .....i don't get the hard hate is getting

yeah nothing mind blowing but looks like a pretty fun adventure

 

[Sleepwalker]

Yeah I'm in, looks ok to me and I really like gotg.

 

[Larxia]

It looks nice.
I'm happy that it seems to be an action game based on movements and skills, with lock-on system so you focus on your actions rather than just hiding and aiming.

It's something I'm sad about with gun mechanics in games today, they all are focused on manual aiming and it makes them a lot slower and less action-ish, especially with a controller where it becomes super boring, while a lot of games in the past used to be a lot more fun when it was based on lock-on systems, so it plays like melee but at a distance, I prefer this feeling, it feels more like an action game than a shooter.

If the dialogues and campaign are good, it could be a cool game, curious about it.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Too much MCU, not enough comics.
Can't stand the disrespect for the nova corps in the MCU.

 

[Craig of War]

This is giving me Marvel Avengers flashbacks vibes i hope im wrong and that it actually good fingers cross.

 

[Kilau]

it seem tens time better that what avengers is .....i don't get the hard hate is getting

10 times Zero is still Zero.

 

[xrnzaaas]

So it's another bunch of cosplayers, eh?

 

[Kumomeme]

looks like they try hard to make it looks...cool?

the banters sounds like forced..

not sold on the gameplay either...

 

[RaZoR No1]

Is it just me or does Starlord look like Macklemore?

 

[retsof624]

So I guess Rocksteady and Insomniac are the only ones giving us solid comic book hero games. This shit looks like food poisoning

 

[Birdo]

 

[Jermare]

What is it with Marvel and giving Gamora that stupid white Mass Effect costume. Her classic one or even the movie one is so much better.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

What is it with Marvel and giving Gamora that stupid white Mass Effect costume

It's her look since gotg had a resurgence in the comics in 2013, she'd had some other looks since them, switching to a leather MCU like suit in 2015, but she's been using the white armour the most.
I guess they feel it's her most iconic modern look.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[Braag]

At least it's not live service.

 

[Gediminas]

vibes of Fallen Order. looked pretty good.

 

[Hendrick's]

This is how they are going to try and rebound from Avengers?

 

[Shadowstar39]

I've never watched read or know anything about guardians of thr galaxy, but I have to say this actually has my interest piqued. I'm not seeing the usual bs of Disney marvel here from the trailer and the devs look professional. Single player, count me in. I'll try it.

 

[e&e]

I thought you guys wanted a straight up single player Marvel game? Another reason fans don’t know what the hell they want and developers should avoid listening to them...

The only thing that came to my mind while watching that trailer is that "this game would look so much cooler/fun/interesting if Insomniac was making it".

Ahh, there it is! It would look so much better if a Sony studio is making it...eyeroll.gif

 

[Fbh]

Looks pretty bad. Seems like they are betting everything on people really being into the banter, but it just sounds forced.

 

[J3nga]

They froze deus-ex for this crap?

 

[Impotaku]

More like garbage of the galaxy, what the fuck is up with those character designs lol look totally shit.

 

[Null Persp]

Deus Ex died for this.

 

[BJK]

Is it just me or does Starlord look like Macklemore?

You apologize to ‘80s Val Kilmer right now!

I feel like this could be a good game, if you could pick and choose the team of Guardians to put around Quill, a la Mass Effect…with dynamic conversations between the squad. From this look at things, though, you get the core characters from the movies, and cameo appearances from Cosmo, Mantis and the like.

Let’s be real: I’m a Marvel nerd, so I’m probably going to buy this at some point. Hopefully they’ve built out the game part by release, and not just the service / monetization.

 

[RaZoR No1]

You apologize to ‘80s Val Kilmer right now!

Let us just say, if both of them would get a child together: boom Starlord

 

[Fox Mulder]

Hope it doesn’t blow like Avengers.

 

[Corgi1985]

everyone just looks so fucking bad. Why does drax look like uncle fester? Why does every "funny" game have to have quippy dialogue that sounds like a brain damaged spiderman
