It is a nice trailer, and Deadpool over there made me laugh.
So, now we start finding out about the roster, eh?
I liked how Lego Batman did it, while the story included mostly Batman, Robin, and Superman, the rest of the Justice League appeared in the end and the other heroes could be found scattered throughout the world. While it could get very frustrating, Traveler's Tales did NOT release the full roster. Lois Lane, Black Canary, Alfred, and Captain Boomerang, (among others) were surprises. If it's keeping with the DC system, there will be two packs of five characters of DLC.
This is a basic Kart racer. However, it has a really nice twist on a basic Kart system to make this game unique. Well, two.
One is the short cuts you see in the videos. The second is that the white bricks upgrade any of the effects. the colored block is the basic move (shield, speed, outright attack, delayed attack) and each white brick upgrades the attack. Shields get more powerful, you eventually can teleport ahead of the other racers by a significant amount, attacks get more powerful, and you can mess with another racer's driving system.
This is actually a nice twist on the game. You must plan ahead, but it's a bit of a gamble. Either the attack will be weak or you can use it immediately, or you can save up to get a game breaker, but it might not happen until late in the race, and too late.
It's a very nice touch, that I wish I could see in more Kart racers. I'm actually not sure if it was in it's sequel...
So I just found this trailer today (which is why the post is late) and I AM looking forward to the game, But, well, I have a problem.
There are a total of seven characters shown in the trailer. Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-man, Sandman, Abomination, Fury, and Coulson (Who does not sound like Clark Gregg, which is odd)
And there are no girls in it.
Maria Hill could have taken Coulson's role there (Possibly, Sharon Carter is another.) Spider-man may have more of a mainstream draw then Jessie/Spider-woman but she could have shown up. Pepper has the alternate identity as "Rescue" And she focuses on clean up and saving random citizens, why couldn't she be in the background? (Please note that when she got her armor, she insisted on no weapons of any sort. So, I understand why she's not in a pure "Gameplay" trailer.) And no hints of Amora watching? Then there's Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers who currently has her own run on the comics, is leading the Avengers, and has gotten praise from everyone for her story, the writing, her character, and her costume. Not to mention Black Widow was one of the first characters announced.
I know Wolverine, Thor, and Deadpool didn't show up either, but the Marvel Comics do have a lot of popular female heroes. Why couldn't any show up?
