Playstation Insomniac's Spider-Man 2

Didn't they have layoff though? I feel like I remember that.

It happened last February, I think.

This FF easter egg is very much known. (I just didn't know it was the previous Fisk tower).

What I didn't know is that the creative director himself replied to this basically saying "hmmm interesting". That could be nothing, of course. But that made me wonder if there's more. And if so, what is... I don't even know if they're allowed to since Wong and Strange didnt make an appearance on this game either. And I struggle to see them fitting there. But who knows...

Also I think FF would be a better fit for an Insomniac AAA type of game than the X-Men, since it has only 4 playable characters while the biggest reference for X-Men games is Legends. And I don’t think, right now, FF has enough commercial appeal for that.

Anyway, I hope to see a FF and a DD game eventually.

Hopefully some other studios can step up and make those a reality.

Give it to Guerilla Games, Bend Studio, Santa Monica, Suckerpunch and Naughty Dog.

Feels longer, honestly!

Report: Marvel's Wolverine Aims for a 2026 Release; Venom Project Still in Development

A source in the know has provided updates on two of Insomniac Games' upcoming projects, and the news sounds promising.

t.co

Well thats a surprise. I was waiting for an announcement last year until I thought it was canceled but guess not!

Interesting if we get Wolverine in 2026 and then a Venom game in 2027 and then potentially a Spider-Man game in 2028 Insomniac will be the MVP of this Gen

I highly doubt Spider-Man 3 would come out just 1 year after Venom. Venom was rumored to come out before Wolverine iirc. So who knows how these delays affected Spider-Man 3, if that's even in development in 2025, which is only 3 years away from 2028.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Depends probably on how much asset reuse and such Spider-Man may have. Or how much cancelled DLC becomes foundation for the 3rd game

IMHO, I don’t think they need to make to make the map larger. I think it's already big enough. So less work there?

I think it's good for the Venom game to have Carnage (maybe Knull) and end the symbiote thing instead of dragging into the third game.

And all for simply having an output of more than one game this generation.

Ehhh. Venom sounded fun 2 years ago. I think my first though now is how long is this gonna take? Will be keeping an eye out to see if there's any outside writers too. The first game did. The second game didn't and was substantially worse imo.

If only they would hire Hickman, his ultimate Spiderman is awesome.
