We're only a few weeks away from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and Square Enix has dropped a new story trailer filled with action, animals and lots of explosions.
While it's not tied into the films, it does draw a lot of inspiration from the comics, introducing characters such as Cosmo the Spacedog. Whereas previous trailers have focused on gameplay, all eyes are on the story here, with Square Enix being kind enough to provide a description of the narrative:
Twelve years ago, a massive Galactic War swept across the cosmos. Star-Lord, seeing opportunity for adventure and profit in a universe that's finally moving on, recently formed the Guardians of the Galaxy to sell their services as heroes-for-hire. But now, a grand organization known as the Universal Church of Truth promises to bring back everything that was lost in the Galactic War. Powered by their faith, they're spreading their beliefs to more and more worlds. It'll soon be up to the Guardians to save the galaxy. No guts, no glory.
Developed by Eidos Montreal, the team behind the Deus Ex series, elements fans have come to know about the legendary sci-fi series are making their way into Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Most notable is the inclusion of choices in the story, allowing players to affect the outcomes of certain events.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy launches for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on October 26.

I cannot stand the design of Starlord. He looks terrible.
@MetalGear_Yoshi Kinda agree - I almost wish they'd just kept the mask on him for the entire game so we could think it was the film one (not that I'm a big fan of him either!).
Also worried I'll find his quips annoying, whereas Rocket, Groot and the others I could probably listen to all day.
Really wish Square didn't own Eidos - I'd prefer another Deus Ex game and I'm still pretty annoyed over the whole Spider Man exclusive to PS thing with Avengers (not to mention Square regularly selling their soul to Sony for exclusives / timed exclusives like no other publisher).
But given I do like this studio, guess I'll probably end up taking what I'm given - so long as Square don't decide to torpedo the chances of this one by announcing some stupid platform-exclusive DLC
@JohannVanDerSmut Lol I was still really sad when they killed him off - particularly given the expansion wasn't even voiced by him.
But yes, less, funnier quips would have been better - I more enjoyed when he was playing off Zavala and Ikora Rey than his individual personality.
As for GotG, yes I fear they might not realise Star Lord isn't really anyone's favourite character in the films - think everyone I know it's either Groot, Rocket or at a push Drax.
It's better he's the mostly-silent "player character" who says a bit in cutscenes etc. but they allow the humour to come from the team around him (like they do in the films).
However often the humour is down to his jealousy / clumsiness / foolish plans - and I wonder how they'll get around that, given as the player it might break suspension if they're made to do something they know is stupid...
I'll be honest, I'm not even interested in marvel, never seen any of the movies and probably never will. I couldn't even tell you what the starlord is supposed to look like. I was initially not interested but when I found out it was a single player offline game without MTX I was instantly switched on. I also like the Deus EX style choices they are putting into the game
