    Sounds intriguing. Looking forward to that trailer.

    By the way, I didn't mean that this would necessarily be an endless runner or a city builder with my first post. I was just listing random genres since some of Gameloft's recent adaptations follow those styles of gameplay.

    After seeing that trailer... my thoughts exactly. Granted, at least this one looks prettier. But from the trailer, it seems just as mindless.

    ^Yeah, well... as long as Gameloft doesnt greed-up on this, this will be better. I mean it's gameloft. They do know how to make the gameplay good, but they can pin you down hard with IAP nowadays.

    Looks like its F2P. I'll be getting it. Looks alright.
    Wish they could make an openish world of Avatar. How sweet would that be?

    Yep, PocketGamer confirms it's going to be F2P. I don't know what got into Gameloft to release what appears to be a solid, premium game for free, especially in a time when premium-priced games are proven to do well in the App Store (even if you don't want to take into account ports like XCOM and KOTOR - as you could argue they'd do well due to them being well-known and well-liked games - the adaptations of TASM and TDKR did very well for Gameloft). I only hope this decision won't interfere with gameplay (currency designed exclusively for upgrades and the like).

    The trailer looked great! It's still too early to draw any elaborate conclusions, but, like Brrobotix said, it apparently plays very much like the first Thor game, with some obvious augmentations: the back-up characters (likely a hint at how Multiplayer might work. I wonder if other characters will be playable, since Fandral of the Warriors Three is in that last screenshot Sanuku posted), the air combos and increased graphics. I'm optimistic it will turn out to be a good game.

    Play DH4.
    I imagine this will, in essence, be a Thor themed reskin. Minus loot and RPG elements maybe.
    If you liked one, you'll like the other. Alternatively, dislike one... You know.
    I'd rather that than it being like the last Thor game. Gameloft and F2P. I'll probably just pass anyway.

    Yep pretty much. I'm a Thor fan so I'll give it a whirl.Sadly if its the bulky IAP fest that I expect it to be, it won't be lasting long on my device

    Ugh it's just making me sick seeing such cool trailers and great little games like this from GL and their iap factory. Imagine them making a game as great as spiderman again, it's just not gonna happen. If they churned out titles like this with $5 price tags and minimal iap, the ios gaming landscape would be much better. DH4 is a normal potion system away from being playable.

    I like how one genius put it in the comments section for TA's announcement of this: "they pulled another Dollar Hunter on us".

    Regardless of whether you agree with the sentiment, that's pretty frickin' hilarious.
