I'm looking at the Xbox version. It seems to be coming along nicely, with a story by Larry Hama and pretty decent graphics. I only hope it plays as good as it looks.
Supposedly it makes use of Wolvie's other powers, like his sense of smell and such. Very interesting.....
Check out some pics here.
.....Oh, and Wolverine is being voiced by Mark Hamill. I'm not exactly sure how to feel about that...
Well, Its been in development for a long time now. I even thought it was scratched, until more info showed up recently.
As for Hammil as Wolverin: Use the Claws ! Logan ;)
Wolverine should not have the Joker's voice :lol:
Sweet game, can't wait until it comes out.
:lol: Hey, don't underestimate Hamill's versatility. He's been responsible for the voicing a number of rather varied characters.Quote:

You'd be amazed at Hammil's range. I can't remember where, but I heard a voice sample of his Wolverine. Deep and gruff, very un-Joker-ish. He also does an amazing Harrison Ford impression. :D
The only two voices I've heard him do are the Joker and that fey robot on Timesquad, so I was thinking he could only do high-pitched characters. Funny sig, btw.Quote:

I'm looking VERY forward to this game. I want to see how they use his sense of smell and other tracking powers graphically.
Lord, I pray this isn't going to be a repeat of what I went through when I rented the first Wolvy game. :bang:
Gamers.com has some new info.
- Game begins with the birth of Weapon X. :sweat:
- Apparently Patrick Stewart will voice Professor X. :)
- Guests include Juggernaut, Beast, Magneto, Colossus, and Lady Deathstrike.
...and the bad news:Quote:
The most abrasive X-Man is able to use his heightened senses to hear or smell bad guys from afar and then sneak up and take them out stealthily. For each such special kill, Wolverine earns experience with which he can raise his combat level and learn new moves. Sneaking elements, RPG-esque combat levels, and a "rage meter" for certain special moves add welcome depth to this beat-`em-up.
Damn! Maskless black leather sucks bigtime. Hopefully his real costumes will be unlockable or something.Quote:
The costume he wears in the game has been changed to reflect the same as in the upcoming movie.
Perhaps the comic costume is unlockable? That would make sense.
I'm gonna buy this, as a fan of Weapon X (BWS was amazing, as was Art Aadams and now Jim Lee Batman), I'll roll the dice and give this one a go.
Looks cool, too.
Well I don't know what they are going to do with the costume change, but the yellow and black costume that you've seen so far has been from the comics which had an overhaul and adapted a more serious, darker movie like look. It's not as if they had that costume slapped in, ditto for X-men Next Dimension black and yellow costume.
I'm still looking forward this. DOnt have a problem with movie costumes, and if original comic book ones are in the game as hiiden items, it makes it even better.
Whats with Name Change title though?
Supposedly, they changed the title to coincide with the relase of X-Men 2 (X2).
Marketing ploy +1!
New movies at IGN.
I'm getting this one on release day. :)
Hamill's voice work on the old Wing Commander cartoon was pretty good. He's become quite an amazing voice actor. Here's to hoping he can do Wolverine justice. As for the game itself, it's looking to be the best X-Men-related game ever.
My one prob and its minor
is that they have Hugh Jackson on the cover and theyre connecting it to the X2 movie but in the game he looks nothing like Hugh and obviously wont sound like him
i think if theyre gonna have him on the cover use his image and voice in the game
its minor i know but just thought id share
Id just like to add that Hamill is a kick ass voice actor though
Release on this game is pretty close now, April 16!
PSM and GI had pics of the game and Wolverine will have 9 costumes or more including the Patch costume(he was a bartender in Madripoor and had a identity where he had an eyepatch), the Alex Ross designed costume for the movie(which wasn't used but still looked kind of cool), the Weapon X costume, New X-Men comic costume, the classic brown and orange costume with mask and all, X-men 2 the movie costume, and "The Void" costume(don't know what this is but it looks like a military type costume).
Others that are possibly included are the Ultimate X-Men costume and the other classic yellow and blue costume. Now if I could only see mpeg movies of the game in action. -_-
I'm digging the yellow and black costume that he has in the game. It looks wicked-cool. I'll probably pick this up when it hits $40 or so.
A friggin $10.00 difference? C'mon Jeremy.
I know I'm cheap too but I'll be picking this bizatch up the first day, its about time a kickass Wolverine game came out.
Hmmm...I hate Wolverine. Well, I don't hate him, but there are several heros I'd pick to do a game about before him, reguardless of the fact that he's nearly as popular as Spider-Man.
That said, this game looks very nice. I'll see what I can do about picking it up.
the Game Inforer article eft me impressed... the sense modes seem pretty neat, and there is supposed to be a lot of depth to the combat... looks like a rental though...
The guys at Vicarious Visions are going to be signing stuff at my local EB when this game comes out. Anybody want something signed?
Just curious.
PS: You get a free X2 movie ticket with the game at EB. Not sure if you have to preorder or not though.
Ah sweet, I'll be preordering it there then. This month's OPM(Splinter Cell cover) has some Mark Hamill recording sessions and he surprisingly comes very close to what I imagine Wolverine sounding. I don't really doubt his versatility but his Timesquad/Joker voices were a bit too similar.Quote:
