Marvel's Wolverine is incredibly violent but Insomniac says it needed to be, and there's a way to turn off a lot of the gore

One of the most striking things about the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine game is the level of sheer violence in it - something now underlined in a State of Play gameplay trailer aired tonight. While developer Insomniac's enormously successful Marvel's Spider-Man series saw its heroes fight in a more family-friendly way, never spilling a drop of blood, here the blood erupts in geysers.

When an aircraft or car body moves at high speed, a thin layer of air called the "boundary layer" is formed on its surface. This boundary layer has two... Read more
