When it comes to licensed properties, sometimes a developer is just a perfect fit and its strengths align with the property. While CyberConnect2 has never been known for its intricate combat systems, the studio is a master of spectacle (just take a look at any of the cutscenes in Asura’s Wrath). This is why the Japanese… Read More »
Eidos Montreal might not be the first developer many people would put on a Guardians of the Galaxy game.

Insomniac Games’ Wolverine was one of the surprise reveals in Sony’s September Showcase. The Spider-Man developer has a pedigree that makes it easy to have faith in its take on Marvel’s clawed hero.
