Spider-Man (PS4) - Part 1

[First Avenger]

so when does the game come out?
Is it worth investing in a PS4 to get this game?

Next year,no concrete date yet. And yes this looks like it will be an amazing game,but PS4 already has a great library with more great games coming in 2018.

I bought the PS4 Pro specifically to play Spider-Man. I haven't played a Spider-Man game since PS1 but this game looks like something special.

based on what else is coming out, Id say June

If not in June as Havok expects, I'll go with the idea that showing us the calendar in Peter's apartment is a hint that it will be an October release.

Surprised no one is talking about the Twitch livestream Bryan and some of the team did today. They did a small Q&A and analyzed the trailer. Some cool stuff mentioned, might be forgetting some.

-Bryan hinted we may recognize Peter's landlord. (I'm thinking Stan Lee)

-There are tons of suits in the game. The team looked at many fan favorite lists and forums for ideas. Some suits are "an unexpected inclusion".

-The white spider on the default suit has a narrative meaning.

-Peter gets evicted at one point and it affects gameplay. One way Peter and Spider-Man's lives clash in this game.

-NYC is an "epically massive" map because Spidey moves so fast. Bryan also said the team has been adding more "classic poses" and animations to Spidey's traversal as well as increasing his swing speed since D23.

-MJ is a reporter to put her in situations WITH Spider-Man. The idea was to make her playable so that we can get a better sense of how powerful Spidey is in relation.

-Bryan hinted at an upgrade system, but said Spidey will have progression.

-Peter's bracelets he wears are webshooters! He wears them in public. They are like modified fit bits, designed by a real-world product designer to seem plausible.

-The photographs in Peter's apartment are in fact of: Aunt May and Uncle Ben; and Peter, MJ, and Harry. (This one they specifically said is from high school)

-There are several "Marvel landmarks" in the city and Spidey will remark/comment on them when he passes by.

-Peter was designed with a "boy-next-door" look

-They "aren't even close to done" revealing villains.

That's all I can remember. Hope we get more to see at the Playstation Experience.

I guessed right. YAAY.
So she's as playable as April O'Neil is in the Out of the Shadows video game, huh? If you don't like that comparison then think of her the way secondary characters are playable in Resident Evil games.

well ,that was clear fromthe interview article others and my self included put up the pages over. yes she is playable they said so since the paris event ended to gamer out letsand other's that lookinto games occasionally.

I don't think they are ready to announce that yet. and the very same video is onthe same page nowto see for your self .

Yup will do later,don't have the time now.

Specifically dodged it several times.

Bryan even mentioned that talking about the suits was more than he intended to say on the stream and that was it was supposed to be more about the trailer, so honestly most of what I posted is a gift lol

Also, thanks zenith for the link! Forgot they said it would be uploaded after

I don't see how it fits her character, or what it does for her character. It doesn't feel like MJ to me. It feels too Lois Lane lite for me.

Maybe I am wrong and I'll ultimately like how they handle it. But until that happens I am going to say that I am not really liking it right now.

Fair enough about you not liking it. That's reasonable.

However, I don't see how making a change to her profession to have her be included in the game in a proactive way, also lessening the contrivances, somehow is bad for her character or somehow doesn't 'fit' her character. MJ's later development and even still having that flair or edge to her doesn't necessarily change just because she has a job that causes her to be in the mix. I see it more as a positive for the game and for her relationship to Peter. And even though MJ is not credited with being smart like Peter or say Gwen for example, she is quite a street smart lady. Makes sense she would fit nicely as someone with a job that almost requires the use of street smarts.

I guess we will see how her characterization is within the game--she could very well still have that MJ attitude. But my point is that I don't believe that making her a reporter somehow ties her to being nothing more than a carbon copy of Lois Lane.

If they can't find a way to introduce her into the world of both Peter and Spider-Man, without changing her into a cliche super hero girlfriend job, they have problems writing.

I'm sure the execution of this will be fine. But big picture, they're introducing an element to MJ that I think changes her (and presumably her relationship with Peter) too much. It's an element that has never been a part of the character, outside of the USM comics, in which it never really went anywhere.

What job could MJ have that isn't considered a 'super hero girlfriend' job? And more importantly, what job could she have that ties her into not only Peter's life but also Spider-Man's? As in a way that reduces the contrived elements. There's a robbery at the bank? Why is MJ there? Obviously it's because she's reporting or tracking down information about robberies in the area and how it might tie into the gang element. I'm just spit balling but you can see how it would make her inclusion better for the story...at least it looks better to me.

I'm repeating myself again but I don't see how making her a reporter somehow changes her characterization or even her relationship with Peter in a way that ruins her character or changes it to a point where it ceases to actually be MJ and she's now just MJ in name only. Look at the successful RYV comic series. MJ is a super hero. But her relationship with Peter is just as good as ever.

If not in June as Havok expects, I'll go with the idea that showing us the calendar in Peter's apartment is a hint that it will be an October release.

I'm the same as you, Aziz. Though I'm not looking at any hints or whatever, I just feel in my gut that this will be an October release. I began thinking that way ever since it was announced for a 2018 release. If it comes out sooner, excellent! But I'm still going with October.

My only concern is the need to wait another summer until its release date.

Man oh man if the game ends up being a 2019 game I don't know what I am going to do. I think it is going to be like a late 2018 game though like around a year from now.

I doubt it will get delayed.

yeah it's just too early for them to settle on date yet in their minds most of the fans base will want it as early as possibl;e cause their hunrgy for it.

they let us know when they are ready

Also, thanks zenith for the link! Forgot they said it would be uploaded after

it's all good .I heared was live stream and aimed to see it but for got it was on due to wark . but most of the marvel games that do live streams usually put it up on you tube or do eventually. where ever they do a live stream.Even if they do a live stream from twitch . It reach more people with the VOD's there on youtube . well til they make twich even more accessible.

 

[Solaire]

Can't wait for this game, last Spidey game I played was Web of Shadows which was great imo. If this game is similar then maybe GOTY for me. Have other Marvel characters show up and just introduce better and not repetitive side stuff. I'd rather not get a kids ballon a million times.

Oh and Mr. Negative looks so cool. I might have to read up on him. I know his backstory and stuff but never really read anything he's been a part of.

 

[Wise]

So is Mr. Negative really the main villain or are they only showing one portion of the game?

 

[socool]

He's not the main villain.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Who is? Norman?

 

[terry78]

We don't know yet. Somebody is pulling strings.

Thanks for the details dude! That just amps up my excitement even more! REALLY glad to see that Marvel Landmarks will be in this and we wont have just like 3 villains.

Also, lots of suits?! Huzzah!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

My guess is Mr. Ditkovic

There are several "Marvel landmarks" in the city and Spidey will remark/comment on them when he passes by.

This will get old, and annoying, even with the more fun voice acting of Yuri Lowenthal instead of Sam Riegal.

They "aren't even close to done" revealing villains.

I'm hoping for Mysterio.

 

[Spider-man95]

Pretty sure he'll only say it the first time you pass those places.

I think I remember Insomniac stating at E3 that they didn't want Spider-Man's lines to get repetitive and annoying, I could be wrong though.

He's not the main villain.

I really believe it'll be Norman. He's been hinted at in every piece of footage for this game barring D23.

First trailer: Re-elect Norman Osborn for Mayor sign
E3 2017 Gameplay: Same sign seen in a different part of the city
PGW trailer: We see Norman himself on his banners and hear him giving a speech, we also see Oscorp (which I'm assuming Harry is in control of at this point) signs in Grand Central.

I hope it's true because I really want to see classic glider Green Goblin in a game again.

Also, lots of suits?! Huzzah!

Indeed! Quite exciting that he said there would be some surprise ones.
