Spider-Man (PS4) - Part 2

[Spider-Aziz]

I'd easily buy a Black Panther game if it was PS4 exclusive.
Who should develop it? Insomniac are busy with Spider-Man + their own Intellectual Properties, so I'll put them out of the question.

 

[socool]

Per Insomniac there is no connection. They started working on it before the Sony-Marvel deal, and Marvel asked Insomniac what character they'd like to tackle and they chose Spidey.

I think thats only partly true.

The game probably didn't start as a PS4 exclusive. Insomniac isn't owned by Sony. They were making the game during the Marvel/Sony deal and as part of the deal, Marvel probably offered exclusivity of the in-development game. Since Insomniac and Sony have a long history together, it was probably a no-brainer.

So I think it's both. This game was spawned out of Marvel's new path with Marvel Games and making AAA games. But the Sony/Marvel deal made it PS4 exclusive.

The Square Enix/Edios Montreal Avengers game, I can guarantee, will be multi-platform.

The game is getting a prequel novel in August called 'Spider-Man: Hostile Takeover'

Diggin the cover

EDIT: "NOT FINAL COVER"

Nice. Can’t wait to get the two tie-in novels and the art book.

 

[Slick]

Wait is the art book the other tie-in book or is there another book to be announced?

This is what they said,quote from IG's community manager:

''Long story short: Sony came to us and asked if we wanted to work with Marvel. Sony and Marvel let us decide what character/universe we wanted to make a game based on. We chose Spider-Man.”

Marvel went to Sony and they went to Insomniac during 2014. Marvel wanted Sony to make a game to be treated like UC/GoW and Sony chose IG for the job. IG were given the chance to choose which character they wanted, they chose Spider-Man as he was everyone's favourite. It was always an exclusive.

A quote from Sony:
''Marvel comes to third party, says hey Drake and Adam can we do something here. And what they said is we would love to see a game treated, one of our properties treated, with the reverence that first party treats their heroes.

Avengers is 100% multiplat as it's a completely different deal.

Ok I'm totally wrong haha Very strange coincidence, then.

Also: James Cooper--former Lead Designer for Naughty Dog--has joined the development team. I'm assuming for DLC.

Wait, so you wouldn't buy it if it was a multiplatform title? Did you skip Arkham Knight?

I hope this is one of your trademark humor posts.

I'll buy a PS4 exclusive cause I have that system. I bought and loved every Arkham game with the exception of one (but I did have a chance to play it); Blackgate, controlling Batman in that game is frustrating.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

You said you would buy a Black Panther game IF it's a PS4 exclusive. That directly implies that you would not buy a black panther game if it was a multi platform game.

I'm pretty confident this case of 'if' is supposition, not exception.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

It still doesn't make any sense. Did you mean to say you would pick it up if it was available for the PS4? That's not the same as exclusive. It can be available for PS4 and PC/XBone. Like Arkham Knight.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Uuuhhhh.....
I ran out of things to say on that front.


Will Peter have his wheatcakes in this game?

 

[Jick]

I hope they don't make unlocking the costumes too hard like in Ultimate Spider-Man game. You had to collect and do too many things to get them. For example you had to do 100 City Events, collect all Tokens and finish all of Combat Tours just to get the black suit. I never did.

Me neither. I only missed it because of the last race against Human Torch. That seemed impossible. I simply don't know what I could have done different.

Even looking at Youtube videos doesn't help.

So many talents involved in this. New Hands-on impressions, gameplay feel sounds Amazing.

Yeah, that fifth race against Johnny is a nightmare once you need to go up Trask tower, that's why I go with cheats to be able to select all costumes in story.
The downside is; black suit freezes the game on PS2 when I need to chase Venom for some odd reason.

 

[spiderman2]

I love ultimate Spiderman game it is my 2nd favorite Spiderman game just slightly behind Spiderman 2 but i was never able to get all the costumes has some of the races i have still never beaten and i am pretty sure there are no cheat codes to unlock them.

Going to play this music as I play the game....and swing through New York.

[spiderman2]

And Spidey can pull up (climb the webline) during a swing, much like Ultimate and Web of Shadows.

I love that it looks awesome and was something i also really liked about the way he swings in amazing Spiderman 2 the only movie to have him do that.

Ugh, his skill at puns and witty dialogue still needs working.

Jameson sounds kinda familiar, but I can't land on the name just yet.

I don't recognize JJ at all dosnt not sound like BC to me at all something that i saw one person said they thought it may be him in here.

The last two Game Informer articles (todays and Mondays):

Peter:

MJ:
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featu...now-about-mary-jane-watson-in-spider-man.aspx

Nothing new except for one thing: The game takes place over a few weeks in October and the characters will change clothes as the story progresses. Which means...we've only seen Peter and MJ from ONE DAY. We've only seen them in the one outfit.

Also: Andrew Reiner confirmed on Twitter a few days ago that all further updates from Game Informer are NOT gameplay. Game Informer has no further footage for us. Maybe screenshots, but no footage. Only interviews from here on out.

 

[Havok83]

I hope they manage to make MJ's segments fun and not leave us dreading to get back to Spidey

Yeah I fear that, too. We'll see.

While would be nice to get more game play stuff but considering we had like almost no news just a few weeks ago and have now gotten a lot and after this month is over it will not be much longer before we get more news with e3 only being around a little less then a month and a half away after this month its not a big deal. I am sure at e3 we will get a new trailer and even some hands on game play video.

What ever that building is love the look of it.

I think it's the lobby of Fisk Towers. They said he has a very Japanese inspired look to his decor.

hopefully, this will spawn a successful (PS exclusive) franchise like the Arkham games ( and it should by the looks of it ).

and over the course of the series, we can see Peter and MJ reconcile and get back together again. to me, they will always belong together like Lois and Clark.

and while this MJ is a different take on the character ( seems more like Ultimate cartoon MJ who was the photo-journalist at the DB ), hopefully they still retain some elements of classic MJ.

for example, maybe in conversation, they could reference she wanted to be ( or tried to be ) a model/actress, but decided she wanted to pursue something more purposeful in life. Perhaps they could even reference Peter's early work as a photographer at the DB ( if that's still part of this Peter's backstory ) as inspiration for MJ to pursue journalism later on.

little things like that would be neat.

oh, and what they said about Peter and how he has to deal with real-life, real-world issues gets to the heart of why I think Peter/Spidey is such an endearing character to his fans.

he's not an alien, or a billionaire playboy, or a half-demon. he's just a regular guy, who has to deal with regular, real-world issues, all the while having extraordinary powers and the responsibilities that go with that.
