I think this might be a VR thing. People are running with the Sucker Punch connection but I really doubt it, as great as that would be.

That "because...reasons!" is totally suspicious though!

Don't stop believing though...

E3 is only a few weeks away, we should get some confirmation around that time (I mean SuckerPunch is overdue in terms of game announcements considering their new game is in development since they started working on First Light DLC in 2014).

I know I'm too hopeful lol.

That was most likely for the Spidey DLC pack for LEGO Marvel's Avengers (releasing today). People who got their hands on it already (PS4, X1 got it already) claim that the CW Spidey character is voiced by Tom Holland. Can't confirm it though due to every goddamn gameplay video having people talk over the IG sounds 24/7. I can report back once I got my hands on it on PC/Steam today/tomorrow.

New rumor from NeoGaf suggests that it's actually Insomniac Games who's behind the project. This supposed insider also upholds that it's an exclusive title for PS4.

all your links are dead. In makes more sense for a second party to be doing this bc it always sounded crazy that Sony would have one of their own do this
 
Dude, what are you talking about lol? Just because they released a game with Sony doesn't make them second party. Before R&C, they released a Xbox One exclusive, they are releasing a multiplat game next month through Gamestop, before that they released the multiplat game Fuse, and are working on two different projects for Occulus Rift. They haven't been a second party developer to Sony for years, like I said, at least since 2013.

Im aware of their projects. Unless a first party partially owns them, there is nothing that prevents a second party studio from developing games for other platforms, which is what Insomniac has done the past few years. Just bc they have put stuff out on other platforms doesnt change the fact that the stuff they are contracted to do that Sony publishes isn't second party. They are independent and they fluctuate between being second and third party depending on the contract they have with each publisher. They were second party with Sony and MS and third with EA and Gamestop. They've been second party with Sony as recently as April of this year and if this rumor is true, it appears that relationship will continue again next year
 
Second party means a company is contracted to develop/publish exclusively for a platform holder (technically, it could also be applied to any company contracted to exclusively work with a publisher, I guess). A third party company simply working with a platform holder doesn't make them a second party company. If that were the case, that would mean that Platinum games was simultaneouly a second party company to both Nintendo and Microsoft lol. Or any developer working for any publisher that they aren't owned by a second party to that company.

As it stands, right now, Insomniac Games is a third party developer working as work for hire.
 
Insomniac did Sunset Overdrive on the X1, right?

which is exactly what Insomniac did with Ratchet and Clank (2016). Sony doesnt own them so cant prevent them from also taking jobs elsewhere. They never had that power over them. Im guessing by your logic then, that Sony doesnt work with any second party studios bc the other two most prominent ones they work with, Ready at Dawn and Housemarque, also put/have games on other platforms. Oh I guess there is QD. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Its a technicality which really is besides the point, which was that i think it makes more sense for Sony to hire a studio, they dont own to work on an IP, they also dont own as opposed to having one of their first parties do this

It's not my logic, it just...is what it is lol, but yeah, I guess it doesn't matter in the end.
 
I'd be a lot more excited if it was SuckerPunch, but Insomniac would still be quite decent.
