Hardcore PC players sure do seem to have a sense of humour, that's for sure. With Sony bringing some of its first-party PlayStation games to Steam and Epic Games Store, it opens up the doors to the wild world of modding. Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered appears to be a popular target; not long ago, a mod was released that turns the game first-person, which is both brilliant and a real test of your constitution. Now, another modder has taken things in a slightly different direction.
Saad from eXputer: "After the rise of Rocksteady and its fall with post-Suicide Squad, I'm worried about Marvel's Spider-Man suffering a similar fate."
Why? According to the well publicized Insomniac leaks they have a slew of plans for Spiderman including its sequel.
The sequel has had rumors that it could be sold piecemeal style or might be GaaS.

This is all coming from the leaks you mentioned. The problem is the industry is not doing well no matter how ill-informed people spin it on here when they see “sold 3 mill.” In those Sony leaks it showed the struggle to get ROI and they spend an insane amount of money to develop, which makes 0 sense to me when there’s not much to show for the increased development costs. Case in point would be Suicide Squad vs Arkham Knight.
I believe we’re in the middle of seeing a drastic change in media and distribution. This goes for movies, but more so for games and the industry is scrambling to figure out how to get more money out of consumers rather than stick to the “buy it once” to play it all.

These are things you need to pay attention to in order to know which direction the wind’s blowing with this sh*t storm. I was almost certain the GaaS initiative was killed when Jim was leaving, but now seeing the success of Helldivers 2… I’m thinking we’re in for a bumpy ride. I just don’t know what that looks like yet, but I don’t think it’s gonna be pretty.
Insomniac still has a good generation left in them before they get cannibalized by investors. It'll probably happen around the mid PS6 gen, when we see the beginning of the fall.
Huh with this article? If Sony and Insomniac want to abandoned the Spider-Man franchise and make a half baked, live service Spider-Man game, and miss the mark with their fans, then God bless’em!!!!
Seems unlikely when they abandoned the GaaS spiderverse game but are still going ahead with single player games like Wolverine and Spider-Man 3.
"There’s little doubt to the fact that video games are the ultimate form of art; stirring together elements of cinema and music with interactivity to create experiences like no other."
These AAA PS5 games are dirt cheap.
I bought Scarlet Nexus physically a week ago for that price. A very fun and addicting game imo.
I’ve noticed a distinct lack in any reduction to PS+ subs this holiday season. Sony trying to force customers hands into paying the fully inflated price.
This is the longest I’ve ever been a non PS+ subscriber since it began. I won’t be the only one. Protest with your wallet or they will keep shafting the consumer!
They literally just had a reduced price on their official site. It was a 30% discount on all tiers for a year. I paid like $50 for a year of the basic.
Idk man there was a few months recently they knocked it out the park. Like the month we got all those jrpgs. Star oceans, etc. That was a great month.
This isn't true. They had one in December for a week and also Black Friday in November. There will most likely be the usual January one as well.
Last one they had was Black Friday. They didn’t have any in December. The first year they haven’t had one in December.
Seems to be US by the looks of it, can’t see any mention of it in UK and certainly don’t remember seeing anything advertised on the store about it.
Its not really mind blowing deals, more like a bait n switch for clicks news article.
Between this and n4g never working anymore, i question why I even bother some days.
Insomniac: please add first person mode…. Pretty please 🙏 thank you for reading!
