Is it a loot-based game" Maybe an RPG" All super-hero action" Is there an endgame gameplay loop" We?ve heard plenty of hints about Marvel?s Avengers: A-Day, but so far we haven?t seen anything substantial enough to answer this question. The reveal at Square Enix?s press conference showed off the characters for the first time and teased an epic story that takes place five years after a terrorist attack wipes out San Francisco and supposedly kills Captain America. Voiced by an all-star cast of video game talent, we got a look at Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, and Hulk, but details on the actual gameplay remained pretty scarce following the show.
When I walked into Square Enix?s booth at E3, I was expecting to finally get those answers. Instead, we were run through what I can only assume is the intro mission of the game, in the moments before the unstable terrigen crystal powering the new West Coast Avengers HQ wipes out the city. We know that Marvel?s Avengers won?t be completely open-world, but the segment we were shown felt very narrow and on rails.
