The game industry must be stubborn. Year upon year, it belligerently churns out horrible movie tie-ins with only a handful of games rising above the dirge. Thor: God of Thunder is not one of those bright lights. It is an outright poor game and, moreover, a huge disappointment.
This was a character whose basic powers and abilities should translate perfectly into a high-drama, high-octane action game. God of War is, of course, the template but Thor: God of Thunder doesn’t come close to knocking Kratos from his lofty perch. The license and the character are wasted, and a boundless universe is crushed by unimaginative and poorly executed game design.
The God of Thunder deserved better.
John GodGames Emus has released some new videos, showing Uncharted, The Amazing Spiderman 2 and Thor: God of Thunder running in 4K on the PC via the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3. As you will see below, all three games can now run without any major graphical glitches on RPCS3, however performance is not yet optimal in Uncharted.

OXM UK: "I've lost count of how many times in the past two years I've come out of a cinema, or watched a game's credits sequence roll, and felt a teensy bit pleased with myself for being a big old nerdy comic book fan. Classic Marvel and DC franchises are on the up worldwide - Batman: Arkham City has topped charts and Metacritic alike, The Walking Dead XBLA is one of the finest videogame stories out there, and The Avengers Assemble is one of the most profitable films of all time.
But with this power comes great responsibility, and a tragic superhero backstory. Fellow comic fans will tell you how often in the past we've had to watch our favourite heroes submit to brutal character assassination by uncaring executives. Case in point: these six superhero stinkers. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it's a great big whopping turd."
Didn't think it would be that bad. 3/10 is something I haven't seen in a long time. But I guess that's expected since it is a movie-based game, and we all know most of those turn out pretty crappy.
Playing it. Its pretty bad.
