This is what I love about Sony...they share their IPs to the competition. They are not selfish. And they let Activision publish their games too.

PlayStation is the past, present and the future of video gaming!

Killzoner993671d ago

Yeah they do , but you know that they will make sure the Vita version is 10 times better then the 3DS version. It is the vastly superior handheld.

SilentNegotiator3671d ago (Edited 3671d ago )

The new one isn't even coming to the Vita and Sony has the rights to the movies, not games.

Even if they could go out of their way to restrict the platforms, why would they? The whole point of movie-licensed games is promotion.

littletad3671d ago

Sony doesn't own Spider-man. Disney does, they just own the license to distribute films based on the character.

TitanUp3670d ago (Edited 3670d ago )

this has nothing to do with sonys game division.

PrinceOfAllSaiyans3671d ago

I don't get why this is coming to 3DS but not Vita. Oh well I'll get the PS4 version someday.

KonsoruMasuta3670d ago

The answer is obvious. Sales.

Beenox on the Trials and Tribulations of Developing a Spider-Man Game

OnlySP spoke to Beenox co-studio head and creative director Thomas Wilson about the company’s work on Spider-Man games. Between 2001 and 2007, Beenox did not develop a single original game. Instead, the studio worked as a porting house. Beenox’s experience with movie tie-ins led to the studio’s original work on The Bee Movie in 2007 and Monsters vs. Aliens in 2009, and its experience porting Spider-Man games resulted in the studio being handed the reigns to develop original Spider-Man titles in 2010.

Nice read. Wilson's candor is refreshing. He flat out says Activision did not give Beenox the budget, resources, or the time they needed. Really is too bad Activision squandered their opportunities with the Spider-man franchise. They could have made some really great games. Activision being Activision.

Mister-Zay2067d ago

I wonder if we could have gotten better Destiny games if Bungie didn't go to Activision.

Profchaos2067d ago

Undoubtedly the quality would be much higher

UltraNova2067d ago

Activision's quick buck -low quality policy at its best. No wonder the first Spiderman game made by a competent dev with all the time and money needed turned out to be a stellar game overall that did justice to the source material...

Profchaos2067d ago

Activision being activision they dismantled neversoft probably the best studio they ever owned and they ran spiderman, Tony hawk, guitar hero and debeatably cod into the ground.

They have had a number of mega ips in their stable but they continue to pump out uninspired sequals for them until everyone grows tired.

Happy to see spiderman get another life with insomniac.

shuvam092067d ago (Edited 2067d ago )

Always felt the same...
Beenox Spidey games felt like they put effort into it...
But we all know that Activision is no Sony when it comes to budget, expectation and patience for these type of games...

Always felt bad for this team. They did a lot of things right, but Activision screwed them over at every turn.

Don’t forget about Spider Man 2 The PC Version which is worse than the console version. Web of Shadow PS2 version is also the worse than PS3/X360.

Edito2072d ago

It's just me or the title is misleading?

UnSelf2072d ago

at first read it appears so, but no it's grammatically sound

Inzo2072d ago

Best Spider Man game to date has to be Spider Man 2.
Worst Spider Man game to date I will have to go with The Amazing Spider Man 2.

vork772072d ago

i like The Amazing Spider-Man 1 game

antz11042072d ago

Me too, totally doesnt belong on the list.

GoldeneyeOO72072d ago

The absolute WORST Spider Man game is, by far, the PSVR installment. I'd have more fun playing with dog shit than that game.
