Marvel’s Avengers
In developing this original Avengers plot, the Crystal Dynamics team worked with Marvel and with the comicbook authors who know these characters best. “They’ve been very successful at figuring out how to navigate where these heroes should go,” says Amos.
Plot
Marvel’s Avengers video game begins as the Avengers are enjoying their own holiday in San Francisco, Avengers Day, when the Golden Gate bridge will be attacked. Afterwards, the Avengers fall apart – a memorial shrine to Captain America is shown in the trailer – and the player’s task is to reassemble them.
“The tragedy that happens on A Day is the spine of the story. Along that path, as you unlock different heroes, the world then branches out.”
says Amos.
The reveal trailer is dramatic, cinematic and looks more like a trailer for a spinoff animated film than for a video game – although Amos insists that it’s “all captured in engine, there’s a lot of gameplay there”.
I experienced how the game plays behind closed doors at E3: the cutscenes seen in the trailer do appear as cinematic events in the demo, which weaves these moments and characters’ quips in between the playable action.
