Marvel's Avengers: 5 Major Concerns Square Enix Must Address

5. The Costumes Don't Work

If you've been following Marvel's Avengers since the initial announcement then you must have already at some point thought that some of the Avengers' costumes look bad, or at the very least heard others expressing similar sentiments.

It's obvious what Crystal Dynamics are trying to do with with certain costumes, for instance Captain America. The blend of Cap's classic American flag look and a more realistic military one is an interesting concept, but the execution is somewhat lacking. Likewise, the same could be said for Thor, his armour clearly being inspired by that of Roman centurions, but, again, this doesn't work particularly well.

Ant-Man has stolen Wonder Man's jacket, and Iron Man's faceplate looks a bit off. Overall, the costumes just aren't fantastic.

In regards to the faces of the characters, people have expressed the same distaste, though, seeing as the faces of these heroes change every time a new artist draws them in the comics, this concern seems a little unfounded; the game isn't trying to emulate the MCU, and that's a good thing.

Anyway, while the outfits of the Avengers may not be the most important element of making a fun game, having to look at such unsightly costumes for numerous hours could end up really detracting from the experience. As of now there are no plans to change the costumes (which hopefully at least means less crunch for the developers), so the alternate outfits really need to be something special.
