I think it’s safe to say that everyone who’s had a chance to play Raven Software’sX-Men Origins: Wolverinehas been pleasantly surprised. Instead of a game that shamelessly ties itself to a movie license to deliver a watered down cash-in experience, it looks like it’s going to deliver solid, brutal action that truly does justice to Marvel’s character.
Yesterday, Jim brought you ahands-on preview ofX-Men Origins: Wolverine, detailing everything from the game’s visceral combat to Wolverine’s epic battle with a Sentinel. He was also surprised to find outhow violent the title was— Wolverine hacks off limbs, decapitates soldiers, and even impales them on environmental hazards when given the opportunity. (Wouldn’t you?) Yes, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of this game will most definitely be rated M.
At GDC a few weeks back, we cornered Raven Software’s Jeff Poffenbarger to talk aboutX-Men Origin: Wolverine. He tells us about bringing the essence of the character to life, the game’s real time damage and healing abilities, and more. Check the video interview — along with some sick HD gameplay — after the jump.
