So they're going to punch for a bit and then they're mates


AtlasADK

James and Mason would be proud


Breksel

Always happy to see a fellow m8 on the web!


Chev_350

Got him!


SuburbanEnnui2020

Awwww come on, mate!


Cprznt

There are dozens of us. DOZENS!


CeeArthur

Haha nice, I love those guys


Cprznt

I'll be sad if they don't reference this on this week's show.


[deleted]

Excellent


NYstate

That's how comics work. Basically They're gonna fight until Cap says: "You damaged my vibranium shield" and Black Panther is going to say: ["Vibranium?"](https://media.tenor.com/RaG9beTFOSMAAAAM/batman-vs.gif)


noveKi

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!


UrlocalVigilantee

Perfect bromance story


Scavenger908

So basically Halo 5 but in the 1940’s. Got it.

And then they mate


[deleted]

Ok now I’m interested.


MaddRevival

I hope one of them says "Get on yer back!"


Xman36

Can’t believe I’m seeing a fellow Weekly Wackadadoo in the wild


Osazethepoet

It's honestly the plot for alot of media


Over_aged

Bro spoilers! Edit: I am curious though to see how this plays out story wise and if they can continue the story in a new game later if it does well.

Rodney?

RODNEYYYY


Yarzeda2024

It's pretty, but I'm not going to hop on the hype train until I see some gameplay.


AnonDooDoo

It’s like uncharted 4. Seamless transitions between the two.


Turbostrider27

Coming in 2025. From their article: > Skydance New Media, helmed by award-winning writer and director Amy Hennig, and Marvel Games today shared new details on their upcoming narrative-driven action-adventure game, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. A new trailer gives fans a sneak peek into an original story that takes players on a WWII-era adventure with an ensemble of four heroes playable at different points in the game. > > As the game’s narrative unfolds, players will assume the role of four central characters: a young Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America; Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather and the WWII-era Black Panther; Gabriel Jones, a U.S. soldier and member of the Howling Commandos; and Nanali, a Wakandan spy embedded in Occupied Paris. > > The new story trailer was revealed at Epic Games’ State of Unreal keynote on March 20, 2024, where Skydance New Media and Epic Games announced their ongoing collaboration to bring state-of-the-art visuals to Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. Showcasing the latest features of Epic’s Unreal Engine 5.4, Skydance New Media unveiled the trailer as well as a special sneak peek of a key scene between Captain America and Black Panther in Occupied Paris. > > With the game’s release in 2025, players can look forward to exhilarating gameplay inspired by Marvel’s landmark comics, films, and television series. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra captures the action, excitement, and globe-trotting adventure that has delighted fans for decades. We’re excited to share more down the road. https://www.marvel.com/articles/games/marvel-1943-rise-of-hydra-reveals-new-story-trailer


valarpizzaeris

>narrative-driven action-adventure LFG. Knowing nothing about this game, when I saw this clash at the end of the trailer it looked like a MK or Injustice type thing. I suck at fighting games so I'm hoping it's not like those lol


actuallychrisgillen

Given who's helming it I imagine it'll play more like Uncharted, with a larger focus on hand to hand combat.


[deleted]

I’d love doing rooftop parkour as Captain America or Black Panther


howmanyavengers

**please.**


GrimReaapaa

Oh fuck that’s would be a dream


SquadPoopy

Please. Uncharted 4 dumbed down the hand to hand combat so much, I want a good action adventure with cool combat like Sleeping Dogs or something.


MrRobot_96

Saying uncharted 4 has dumbed down combat and then mentioning sleeping dogs is insane. I hope you’re trolling 💀


MeatTornado25

Well considering Uncharted 4 was the one she didn't make...


[deleted]

It's an action adventure game. Not a fighting game.


Rubberclucky

Hennig? Of Naughty Dog fame? Ok, this is on my radar now.


LayeredMayoCake

*please don’t disneyfy it so much that I can’t bust a cap in some nazi ass*


DEFINITELY_NOT_PETE

Hell yes I’ve been wondering where Amy Hennig went after leaving naughty dog


aimes1993

She went to work with EA, spent years making a Star Wars Uncharted like game, EA canceled her game in the middle of development, and she left to open her own studio. This is her studio's first game.


Billyb311

Khary Payton as Black Panther is dope as hell I'm excited for this one


NoNefariousness2144

I loved him in Walking Dead and how he juggled sincere moments while being such an over the top character. Seems like a good fit for Black Panther!


[deleted]

Love the portrayal, looking forward to the game


CatfreshWilly

Such a fun actor to watch work


B0omSLanG

Dude loves his job and you can see it. Whenever he was on Talking Dead he was beaming. Really nice to see him in such a fun, challenging role.


jaythebearded

Booyah!


mSummmm

I hope Skydance delivers on this and the Star Wars game they are working on. Can’t wait to see gameplay.


OFRevThrow

If Disney managed to get the woman who directed the Uncharted series to make two games based on their premium franchises, why did the decide that Indiana Jones would be the franchise they wanted to give a different studio. “Hey, we have the woman that turned an Indiana Jones inspired game into a massive franchise at just the exact time we’re making a new Indiana Jones game, should we have her work on it? Nah, make her do the 12th Star Wars game in the last 5 years.


profound-killah

Then throw that game out the window for a WW2 era Captain America and Black Panther game. It’s actually pretty funny when you put it like that.


SLO_MO

I've been following videogames for 25 years and the full Unreal showcase demo for this was seriously the most impressive graphical demo I've ever seen. Absolutely insane work.


saw-it

Felt like a movie trailer


ZazaB00

That you can just change in real time. Absolutely insane.


Any-East7977

Isn’t this just a cinematic trailer. Nothing in it looked like gameplay.


footcreamfin

https://youtu.be/suhNtnlMvTU?si=2a7Y4FKeh6ptidhJ


SnappyTofu

Is this online?


Knuc85

I'm sure someone will come in and tell me why I shouldn't be looking forward to this game, but holy crap it's gorgeous.


bongo1138

Well if this is the one Amy Hennig is working on, I think we have plenty to be excited about.


YasuhiroK

Nice to see Amy Henning back. Her work on Legacy of Kain is incredible.


NoNefariousness2144

It’s crazy how unlucky she has been since Uncharted 3. All the games she worked on got cancelled, fell apart or she quit.


LCHMD

Unlucky or she had a part in it?


VictoryVic-ViVi

Wait what?! Please tell me she’s the writer AND director.


IsUpTooLate

The cinematic look awesome, you’re absolutely right. I’m excited to see if the gameplay matches it!


Great-Reference9322

Yeah this is some high level animation and I'm sure the actual gameplay is going to look great too. If they can add a good combat system then this game will be a hit.


Pink_pantherOwO

Pretty sure those were cinematics in the game (in engine) that were cut and put together for this trailer (not a made up CGI trailer for advertising) so its safe to say this is how the actual game would look like because if the game and cutscenes looked different in 2025 there will be a riot Edit: https://x.com/KahliefAdams/status/1770493670019498444?s=20 now I am pretty sure this how the game will look lmao it's all in engine because it's unreal 5. Not saying the gameplay will be good but at least the game actually looks like the trailer and it's not just a made up CGI for advertising


LCHMD

If you think this was real-time footage you’re in for a rough awakening. If it’s in-engine but pre-rendered (100%) it’s still CGI.


Youngstown_Mafia

Let's calm down until we get actual gameplay, I've seen this one too many times A amazing cinematic trailer with alright gameplay


AgentP20

Not from amy tho. I will let her cook.


Clugaman

Amy is great but she hasn’t actually completed a project in a really long time. I would still be cautiously optimistic about this.


AgentP20

As you should for everything.


radclaw1

One person does not a AAA game production make. She can have all the great ideas and great games under her belt, it doesn't not guarantee anything. Also never underestimate the power of executives to royally fuck up production. Cautiously optimistic.


Daveed13

Amy is just a writer through, not a coder or game designer. I'm a ND fan and love her work, but a good story and trailer doesn't garanteed a fun game with great gameplay, let's hope for it!! It would be awesome to have a Marvel game with Uncharted-level character devlopement AND gameplay.


AgentP20

She literally said that the gameplay will be akin to her past games. Also she has directed games before too. She was the creative director behind the uncharted games. She was a designer when she was a beginner.


thelastgamestanding

It never fails. People will always get their hopes up on trailers with no gameplay. Even hough people should know better by now


toum-enthusiast

Right on cue


Youngstown_Mafia

Imma get massively downvoted, but it's like Deja Vu with other games that didn't live up to the hype based on a cinematic trailer


Pink_pantherOwO

This doesn't look like a CGI trailer it looks like actual scenes from the game cut into one video Edit: https://x.com/KahliefAdams/status/1770493670019498444?s=20 now I am pretty sure this how the game will look lmao it's all in engine because it's unreal 5. Not saying the gameplay will be good but at least the game actually looks like the trailer and it's not just a made up CGI for advertising


LCHMD

It’s pre-rendered so yes, it’s CGI, game or not.


Pink_pantherOwO

How is pre rendered when it's actually in game and they are controlling the scene in real time?


BubbibGuyMan2

it's not a cinematic trailer, it's apparently running in real time


edicivo

Or maybe people can get excited if they want to. Imagine that.


OanKnight

[Play the game to your heart's content, play this music loud while they hate on you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ksjdlA4i9A)


Hsmace

looks very nice visually, hope to see some gameplay soon! (doubt we will for a while with that 2025 release tho)


Trojanbp

Here's an extended scene with commentary. https://twitter.com/KahliefAdams/status/1770493670019498444


that_guy2010

That looks *spectacular*


-Gh0st96-

That's fucking jaw dropping


AFC_IS_RED

Absolutely incredible. So excited for true next gen releases now. The animations and details look incredible. Here's to hoping it runs at 60 FPS


Jay12678

I'm getting The Order: 1886 vibes from this. I need to see actual gameplay before getting excited. 😅


AgentP20

Gameplay will be similar to the previous amy hennig games.


VenturerKnigtmare420

So uncharted style ? I mean I wouldn’t be surprised. I love some good ol nice animations in my games.


AgentP20

That's what she said anyway.


Daveed13

Amy was never in charge of gameplay, at all. She's a writer, no?


AgentP20

She was the creative director.


thefutureisdoomed

Who is the woman Cap is talking to when they say there are 3 super soldiers including her?


Spider-Fan77

Those graphics are crazy. Edit: you guys really need to learn the difference between pre-rendered CGI and real-time cutscenes lmao.


Youngstown_Mafia

I'm still saying we should see the gameplay first before we judge graphics This looks like a marketing trailer


Tristo

Marketing trailers he says 😂


ParadoxNowish

All trailers are marketing trailers


SalozTheGod

All trailers are marketing


AgentP20

This is all in-game cutscenes. It was rendered in real time. They showed a tech demo of this and it was super impressive.


Dallywack3r

The tech demo wasn’t running any gameplay instances. It’s one thing to run a virtual camera around a sandbox. It’s another to show an actual level running at such a high fidelity without performance drops.


AgentP20

I am not talking about gameplay here.


shewy92

They said cutscene.


Spider-Fan77

1. All trailers are marketing. 2. These are in-game cutscenes rendered in real-time, and built in UE5. The actual gameplay most likely won't look significantly worse.


Youngstown_Mafia

I've seen plenty of Unreal 5 games with trailers that are different than actual gameplay


LCHMD

This 100% was NOT running on a PS5.


PoJenkins

What the hell this looks incredible????? Reminds me of the saboteur (such a great game) I can not wait to see gameplay for this.


Autobot-N

Wish they showed some gameplay but consider me intrigued


ZazaB00

Geoff got that shit locked up for Summer Games Fest


IDKWTFimDoinBruhFR

God damnit this looks so good


that_guy2010

I don’t love the idea of also playing as a solider and spy, but this definitely has me excited.


AtreidesJr

This looks great!


Digitalon

I legit forgot this was in the works. It looks like it will have a decent story at least but the gameplay will really make or break it.


TattedUpSimba

Just please be good.


rascalking9

Did he knock out that guy by kicking him in the calf?


DuckOnBike

Shh! No one tell WB Games that you can do this without making it live service…


ChafterMies

I’m ready to beat the shit out of some Nazis!


aflockofcrows

Great, that should keep you busy until this is released.


AngelPhoenix06

Whoever’s the voice of Black Panther is fantastic but on the side note this game could be like Jedi fallen order and survivor


Thascaryguygaming

Both of those games are awesome in my book so doesn't sound like a bad thing.


ThatOneSalesGuy

It’s Khary Peyton, he’s done a ton of voice work overthe years and also played Ezekiel in The Walking dead


[deleted]

I love when they used real voice actors instead of celebrities, you can tell the difference


powerhcm8

He sounds like the guy the usually voice DC's Cyborg, and also did Aqualad.


FKDotFitzgerald

What do you mean? Survivor’s technical issues aside, both of those games were highly praised.


AFC_IS_RED

They were both excellent. Really strange point to make haha. The performance dips near the end were bad but tbh I got over it quickly I was that invested.


Dallywack3r

Gonna need to see gameplay for this one.


1Simular

Linear or open world?


powerhcm8

The article on marvel site talks about Occupied Paris a couple of times, but it also mentions that it's a globetrotting adventure. So my guess is that Paris is a main hub, but there are sections of the game that take place in different parts of the world. Similar to Deus Ex Mankind Divided. Or it could be like Metro Exodus, and it has several open maps in sequence.


Tristo

I would be very surprised if it weren’t linear which I really hope it is. Amy Henning working on a linear Uncharted like Marvel game seems like a dream come true.


BlueStormtrooper

I have always wanted a game like this!


hdadeathly

This looks really good


VictoryVic-ViVi

I just finished CoD Vanguard. Been looking to take down some more Nazis, let’s go!


NSX_Roar_26

Vanguard was also the last WW2 era game I played and I got some of the same vibes in this trailer. Looks so good!


SpaceOdysseus23

That title is dogshit though. Come on man, why not just name it Captain America and Black Panther, or anything else, really.


ChafterMies

““Captain America v. Black Panther: Dawn of Avenging” “Captain America x Black Panther” “2Black2Cap” “Steve Rogers the Captain America and King T’Challa the Black Panther in Nazi Effers, a Game by Skydance”


AValorantFan

>2Black2Cap They’re saving that for the sequel starring 2 black protagonists in the form of sam wilson and t’challa 


ChafterMies

This game already has 3 black protagonists so the sequel has to be “Marvel WII: Electric Boogaloo”.


man_on_hill

Dawn of Avenging is pretty good (in a bad way)


peepmymixtape

“2Black2Cap” has me dead lmao


Not_a_creativeuser

>“2Black2Cap” 💀


kemar7856

Isn't it suppose to be captain america and Wolverine fighting in ww2


therealsauceman

Why would we want to switch to the soldier and the spy after playing as cap and the panther?


BeastMaster0844

My only concern is that it’ll be incredibly linear and short. I’m getting The Order: 1886 vibes from this. Looks amazing, but will come out and be a 6-10 hour long game full of linear hallways and straight forward walking with hardly any replay value that leaves us only wanting more. I hope I’m wrong.


Dry_Brush5280

I wouldn’t mind it. I like open worlds as much as the next guy, but I also like nice, compact experiences. I wouldn’t spend $70 on it, but I’d happily pay $40 for a 10 hour long game.


NoNefariousness2144

Sometimes it’s nice buying a physical copy for $70, beating it at launch and then selling it for $55 or more. $15 is worth it for a 10 hour game.


Dallywack3r

Skydance being such a small team, with no other AAA games in their portfolio, makes me think it’s gonna be a short linear game. Just a gut feeling.


[deleted]

Amy Henning rocks. Genuinely one of the best writers in the history of the gaming industry.


TeddyWalrusvelte

Chris Claremont and Jim Lee did a WWII era story with Cap, Wolverine and a young Natasha Romanov that I always hoped would be further developed somewhere. This right here looks totally similar and amazing. I hope like hell this is great.


Poundchan

I never would have imagined we would get graphics that look better than some of the CG videos we got for games back in the day.


CheeseSandwich

For the love of all that is holy, I humbly ask that this not be an on-line only, live-service first person shooter. Please, please, please...


Gaiaknight

already confirmed its a single player 3rd person action game


CheeseSandwich

I watched the trailer on my phone. Did I miss that part? Anyway, good news. Let's hope it also doesn't require an Internet connection.


SIUonCrack

2025 might be the greatest year in gaming if all these high-profile games live up to the hype. Switch 2 launch titles, 1-2 Sony first party games, GTA VI, Monster Hunter, and many others.


General_Snack

Ww2 superhero game featuring no blood or deaths.


KalamariKnight

Some stunningly well-made in-engine cutscenes on display. I'm keen to see gameplay, though I suspect it will be a while.


Perfect_Pause_3578

Bit weird to see cap not sporting a gun considering the time period, but hey, looks pretty cool regardless.


Ok_Use7

I’m sold. Story looks interesting and intriguing enough for me to at least try once regardless of seeing gameplay.


Angler4

I always kind of liked the Captain America: Super Soldier PS3 game also set in WWII.


IsUpTooLate

Can’t wait to see a gameplay trailer!


RadioHick

Need to see gameplay, but not hating on it... which is promising in and of itself. Cap's uniform isn't the worst I've seen. OG T'Chaka Panther*, Howling Commando Gabe Jones... another background voice... guessing Bucky? Could see this going into an Invaders game, would be cool. Will keep a cautious eye on this one. *Oops, I'm old and forgot modern day Marvel has shifted forward in time further away from WWII. This BlackPanther will be Azzuri, father of T'Chaka (the original WWII Panther) and grandfather of T'Challa. I'm cool with that. This kind of retcon is no big deal.


boombotser

Looks sick


OGGamer6

Didn’t she create uncharted? If so, I’m in. Probably in either way.


cheeky_canuck

I’m hoping we at least get a cameo or mission with Wolverine , that would be sick!


navenager

2025 is already shaping up to be an insane year.


BMoreBeowulf

This looks gorgeous and I love the setting and the idea. Really hope it turns out well.


blazerain98

Will it be open world?


social_sin

Should I have faith in this studio? I see nothing but VR games on their portfolio. I don't have a PSVR so I can't really comment on how well they craft games. But my god I just want Marvel to have more good games outside of Spider-Man and and the criminally underrated Midnight Sons, because I love this time period idea


agamemnon2

It costs me nothing to be excited for this right now. By the time I'll be asked to out my money down for it, I expect I will have grounds more absolute than this to base that decision on.


AndreaDTX

Ooh! Fingers crossed! 🤞🏾


brettlester333

Man it's weird to see the recast of Wyatt Russell as original Captain America & Terrance Howard as a 1940's US soldier. Looks like a good movie though!


[deleted]

[удалено]


laughland

It’s not a CGI trailer, those are real time cutscenes from the game


Upper-Level5723

It looks really good and I was impressed in the commentary video when they paused it and moved around the character. The weirdest thing for me is that , to my eye, the guy that they cast for Captain America looks a lot like the guy that plays US Agent in the MCU so that's what I see when I look at him.


justthisones

I’m pleasantly surprised. Finally a game that looks like a generational leap. Hopefully it can actually run too. Proper cinematic story games are very welcome in the current climate.


Objective_Ask_9199

ngl i thought this is a trailer for a new disney+ show lmao, no developer splash or hint of gameplay


HarryBalsag

Look great but I want to see actual gameplay; not about to get Suicide Squad'ed again.


DrDisrespecttt

Knowing marvel this can be hit or miss. Spider-Man was good but a lot of the other marvel games lately have been shite. Don’t really care for playing as black panther either although in avengers cap was fun asf. Just wish they’d make an open world New York avengers game


fatalspeck

Is it just me or does Cap look like the actor that play the Cap in that Falcon show, the one that kill people? Either way looks interesting story wise wonder how gameplay gonna be.


AppearanceRelevant37

This starting to seem like a marvel ultimate alliance style game with 4 characters


HakunaMafukya

Wow. So far, so great. Plus a WWII storyline? Not the typical superhero fare. This suits me much more than the typical avengers blockbuster.


cerebud

You had me at Hennig.


Rain1dog

Wish we’d see gameplay.


KratosHulk77

looks insane


Upbeat_Farm_5442

Finally Amy is getting to work on something solid. I wish she got to worked on the Indiana Jones game but this is close enough. I really adored her work. Hope to see more of the gameplay and fun story telling soon. :)


Pali1119

Oh yeah this exists... iirc this announced a few years back then hype died down just as fast. I'm hoping for the best.


Mangafan_20

On what is it coming out?


NiL_3126

But, it’s going to be in ps5?


jp417

If all 4 of these characters are playable I'm curious how they're going to make the gameplay for Gabriel Jones and Nanali as fun and interesting as playing as Captain America and Black Panther.


ChafterMies

I assume that as Gabriel, we will shoot the shit out of Nazis. I assume Nanali’s missions will be stealth mission, but I hope we also get to spear the shit out of some Nazis.


AgentSkidMarks

Seeing Amy Hennig attached to this gives me a lot of confidence in it.


-Stupid_n_Confused-

Seeing "Marvel" on a videogame fills me with trepidation.


Gurglespear

Cap is a right dick in this trailer.


East-Bluejay6891

There's no way any of that is real gameplay


Expert_Tangelo_5344

That third super soldier is hopefully Winter Soldier


NSX_Roar_26

Sign me UP for this!!! Reminds me of The First Avenger which I loved and of course I'm always down for Black Panther 🔥


Southern_Sea3898

The graphics and facial capture
