But the eagle-eyed fan may have spotted a certain space-faring dog that seems to hint at a stopover of this iconic location. Marvel allowed a lot of leeway to really let us make our own mark on the Guardians of the Galaxy so it’s not like the movies, it’s not like the comics - it’s our own version.”Īs for where in the universe we’ll see our Guardians travel, Eidos-Montréal is keeping a lid on that as to not spoil anything. “You’re having this wild cosmic adventure, and one minute you’re laughing, and one minute you get an emotional hit, and then bam you’re back in the action.

But it’s the moment-to-moment experiences of the story as you go through that will vary based on your choices in small or big ways as you go.”Īlso, DeMarle revealed that they had a tremendous amount of access to the team at Marvel to help build out the characters to help deliver a journey that’s full of humor, light heartedness, and colorful moments, but also deals with deep themes of family, and faith, and loss. It’s still a linear story that will have the same beginning and same ending for every player, building to a strong emotional story that will pay off in true Marvel superhero style at the end.
“There may be certain secret weapons you can get, for example. “Some of the decisions you make will open and close gameplay paths to your objectives,” explains DeMarle. These are all very strong-willed characters that will react to your choices, and you must manage those repercussions while balancing their unpredictable natures. We’re told this can manifest itself as the Guardians react to your decisions as Star-Lord. “You want to see the decisions you make have repercussions.” “Choice and consequence are part of the Eidos-Montréal DNA, giving you both gameplay and dialog choices as you’re going through the game,” says Senior Narrative Director Mary DeMarle. Through this story, each Guardian will have four unlockable abilities, along with one special mega ability that each Guardian can attain through the game via a “growth moment.” Not only does this sound like it’s going to scratch our “need to collect them all” itch, it also seems to hint that there’s much more going on under the surface for this group of Guardians. So, Eidos-Montréal worked on getting licensed ‘80s hits to play throughout the game, like Iron Maiden, New Kids on the Block, Kiss, Rick Astley, and many more, giving the team a great soundtrack to match both thematic gaming moments and through story cut-scenes.
Speaking of the music - which was a huge focal point in the recent Marvel Studios films with many hits drawn from the ‘70s - this Guardians universe Star-Lord is a lost child of the ‘80s… and he’s a bit stuck in that era. Then as Star-Lord, you’re mixing his agility along with utilizing his blasters.”
And Rocket has his bombs and deals more area of effect damage. Groot is the protector that can crowd control and heal the group. “Drax is going to be more aggro, able to stagger enemies to put them off balance. “Each Guardian has their own identity and ability in combat,” explains Proulx. Speaking with Senior Producer Olivier Proulx, we learned more about how these combat encounters can play out. Sounds like a piece of cake!Īs we’ve seen in the brief gameplay demo ahead of today’s presentation, combat encounters will play out with a mix of agile movements to dodge enemy attacks and using Star-Lord’s iconic dual-wielded blasters to dispatch enemies, along with each of the Guardians jumping in to contribute special attacks to help break enemies down.

Now, through a series of unfortunate and ill-advised events, the Guardians will have to stop a new threat to the galaxy, one of their own creation, and must confront not only this foe… but themselves. In this telling of the Guardians, it has been 12 years since a massive galactic war has rocked the universe. In this single-player, narrative driven action-adventure game, you’ll play as Star-Lord, “leader” of a rag-tag group of aliens, as you embark on an epic adventure through the cosmos.
