Spider-Man's Free-Roam Manhattan Area Will Be 'Four to Six Times Bigger' Than Sunset Overdrive

PSTrophies:

In a behind-closed-doors hands-off preview of PS4's Spiderman, Insomniac community director James Stevenson confirmed to PlayStation Trophies that the game will be 'four to six times bigger' than Sunset Overdrive (Insomniac's last open world game) and will be the biggest game Insomniac has ever created.

Wonderful. 2018 can't come soon enough

[PhoenixUp]

Jesus Insomniac calm down

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Insomniac has always been one of my favorite developers ever

[_-EDMIX-_]

Insomniac has always been a hit or miss for me. Resistance was great, some of the entries where not that good and then......FUSE.

Even with FUSE, they are still a great developer, its better to keep trying something new and fail once and while, they keep making the same junk over and over, so I feel even FUSE made them that much of a better developer after. Spiderman as a game would not even be THAT interesting if it wasn't for the trust of Insomniac.

THEY are the real reason I want this game. If anyone else was making this game, of course I'd be worried, but Insomniac making it makes it that much more of a day 1 for me.

Fuse was crap compared to the original concept. It lost the fun of Insomniac and got corporate BS ideas on what gamers want.

[MagicBeanz]

They screwed up big time with their exclusive deal for Sunset with Microsoft but with Spider-Man they're back where they belong and in top form.

How big is sunset's world

[Mikefizzled]

Small to mid. Obviously traversal is slower though

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Pretty big I don't know the exact dimensions or anything but when I played it the game world felt pretty big even with how fast you could move and grind through the world

[WilliamSheridan]

You didn't play it, stop the bullshit

[Dark_Knightmare2]

@williamsheridan who the f**k are you to tell me I didn't play it like you know me. venomouscrane65 is my live gamertag you f**king troll now go check,shut up and get a life.

[Darkfist_Flames]

dont know the size, but the traversal in sunset is different compare to swinging in spiderman.

[latinlegend81]

2018 is a year games are gonna really going to bring their A game. God of War, Spiderman, Red Dead 2, Last of Us 2, and more that I can't remember. I will surely be broke this year and am going to cut back on going out as much just to play all these games.

[thatguyhayat]

I highly doubt last of us part 2 will be out 2018 its in early development.

[DanteVFenris666]

Let's not forget about fire emblem, been a long time that franchise has hit onto a console.

Gow is probably my most anticipated game for 2018 unless I'm forgetting something

[DarkZane]

After this E3, I am anticipating Days Gone more than anything.

[Star51]

You probably are forgetting something. There's just too many games to keep up

[mafiahajeri]

Can't remember the last time I've been this excited for a game, playing the old Spiderman games were a big part of my childhood.

Gonna be nostalgic af, I see this as being a spiritual successor to all the old open world Spiderman games...

I just hope there will be alot more to do then just the main story, I won't a fun sandbox experience, not a empty city.

[akaFullMetal]

Sounds good😎

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Awesome sunset overdrive world was pretty big so four to six times that is going to be absolutely gigantic

[Bronxs15]

sunset overdrive was so much fun

[Segata]

Again AAA devs go on and on about size but bigger isn't better if there is little to do. Not saying there isn't in this game but maybe hype what you can do in the world rather than it's size.

[FunAndGun]

for a Spider-Man game you kinda need a big map no matter what. He can travel so far so fast.

[MagicBeanz]

Awesome!

[Mr Marvel]

Game of show imo.

[jorellpogi]

What the??? Sunset Overdrive multiplied by 8 is an overkill! ahehehehe

[WilliamSheridan]

What a strange comparison... It's almost like someone wrote an article goung out of their way to belittle a 3 year old game. It's almost like saying, Spider-Man's open world is half the size of GTAV with a tenth of the fun, originality and if they are lucky, sales...

[bloop]

Uh, I'd imagine Sunset Overdrive was used as the comparison as it's the same developer?? Like how GTA map sizes are always compared to previous entries.

[Darkfist_Flames]

sunset overdrive :(, an awesome game that was killed by a shooter console, still dont know why they cant port the game when they own the ip.

[Phill-Spencer]

Yeah it's really sad that the xbox crowed didn't respect this game at all.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Was so disappointed when I saw 2018. I want this game yesterday. Haven't played a good Spiderman game in so long.

[Ristul]

Can't wait to web sling that city like a pro, big open city confirmed!

[THC CELL]

Nice I hope they give us a open world resistance one day

[DivineAssault]

wow.. Thats going to be very interesting.. Its a spiderman version of arkham knight

[Relientk77]

Damn that world sounds huge

[feraldrgn]

Looking forward to it & I wonder which villains we will fight.
