The latest video game hoping to ride on the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics, and Eidos Montréal’s Marvelovi osvetnici. The upcoming game is no stranger to controversy in that many fans have stressed their discontent over generic-looking gameplay and unpleasant character models. Well, it seems the higher-ups working on the forthcoming game will “handle” the latter issue.

That’s right, character models will see some form of improvement, although I wouldn’t hold my breath on anything substantial coming out of this change, though.

According to Marvel’s Avengers editorial director, Casey Lynch, character model improvements are underway and will continue in future updates.

Zahvaljujući web stranici gamingbolt.com, excerpts from Lynch’s interview sit below for your reading pleasure:

“Sve u vezi s igrom nastavit će se mijenjati kako je usavršavamo, kako se sada približavamo lansiranju, ali stvari koje smo pokazali i na E3 i ovdje, sve su bile prije alfe. Bit će promjena u svemu, od likova do mnogo toga što vidite.”

In other words, characters continuing to look better is supposedly a top priority as the devs get closer to launch. However, the team will not change character designs:

“Pod promjenama, govorimo o poliranju. Ono što radimo jest da nastavljamo dodavati detalje njihovim modelima likova, poboljšavamo osvjetljenje, poboljšavamo sjenčanje kože. Dakle, nadamo se da vidite likove koji nastavljaju izgledati sve bolje kako se približavamo lansiranju. Ali u smislu mijenjanja dizajna likova, to trenutno nije ono što gledamo.”

The important question that remains unanswered is, will The Marvel’s Avengers game continue to look like a sad parody of some sorts with knock-off cosplayers pretending to be the iconic characters from the comics mashed in with a cheap version of the MCU? Or will they look better moving forward?

Given that Black Widow’s face is purposely squared despite in the new trailer looking a “bit” rounded due to lighting techniques tells me that we’ll see ugly to mediocre-looking character updates in the foreseeable future.
