Insomniac Games confirms that Spider-Man will never be on Xbox One (via Twitter)

When asked how long it will be until Spider-Man releases on Xbox One, Insomniac Games answered, "Never"

[DarkVoyager]

Get a PS4. Problem solved. No one should miss this game.

[JaguarEvolved]

I wish this game was on pc but it isn't so my ps4 is needed to play Spider-Man, God of war 4 and a lot of PlayStation exclusive games. PlayStation domination across the nation

[uptownsoul]

Insomniac also confirmed it here too...

When asked if Spider-Man would go to Xbox or PC after 1 year, they said, "No. It is a permanent exclusive and is published by Sony Interactive Entertainment." (source: https://twitter.com/insomni... )

[DARK_WOLF]

Not surprising givin the connection sony has with spiderman.

Id buy a ps4 just for this game letalone the rest of the great exclusives u can get.

[tehpees3]

Your comment reads like a PR person trying to boast or advertise the system.

[mikeslemonade]

The gaming industry needs more exclusives. Multi platform makes for bad games.

[PressXtoBacon]

I wish everything was on PC.

Except Nuts & Bolts

Consoles can keep that crap.

[darthv72]

Love me a good spiderman game and this will not disappoint me.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@ Michelle- man they seriously just need to ban your accounts, I have no clue why every damn article you happen to to jump in looking to argue about something.

smh

[Xenophon_York]

@tehpees3

Sony doesn't need a "PR person" for the PlayStation 4. Dozens of millions of exceptionally happy gamers do just fine at that job.

When something is leaps and bounds above the normal expectation for a product, that product will be generously praised. 🕶️-->😎

[fhizikz]

I'm getting ps4 when this game comes out ..I just hope it comes with a sweet spiderman edition ps4/pro

[PowerOfTheCloud]

I'd say mission accomplished, sony!^^
#exclusivesmatter

[Eonjay]

Yeah a friend of mine is doing the same thin but I think he will be getting a standard PS4. Everyone wants to play this game. its has a much broad appeal as most super hero movies.

[djsilke45]

why are there dislikes on this lmao

[Ceaser9857361]

Isn't this a known fact from day one.. Sony and Marvel has a deal because of Spiderman Movies and Avengers and Sony could choose any characters from Marvel to make a Video game and Sony approached Insomniac and they picked up Spiderman...

[WilliamSheridan]

I'm not sure why this is news, or why anyone could have thought any different

[princejb134]

im not so sure about the "sony could choose any characters from marvel to make a video game".
Sony bought the rights to spiderman a long time ago thats why all the movies were produced by sony. Until avengers came along and spiderman homecoming is when sony outsourced spiderman for a price.

[Ceaser9857361]

Yes prince here you go. Sony asked Insomniac to choose any Marvel character and the picked up Spiderman

https://www.google.co.in/am...

[jaymacx]

I hope Insomniac makes more games based on Marvel. I’d rather them be exclusive to Sony than be made by someone who won’t treat them right and be multi-platform. From the latest trailer the game looks great.

[Sevir]

That's not exactly how it happened..

Marvel Interactive, required the license of their IPs from publishers, the Spiderman game ip license expired with Activision and Marvel didn't want the IP being governed soley by one party, so they took it back..

At that time Insomniac was in talks with Marvel to do a Spider-Man game that was original and not tied to the movie universe, and they said Sony would be the perfect partner due to their relationship and release portfolio with them.

After some negociatio on, Shu, Ted Price and the Head of Marvel interactive struck a deal to create the game exclusively on PS platforms and Insomniac as the Developer for 10 years...

Similarly, the new Avengers game between Square, Crystal Dynamics and Marvel interactive was born out of this kind of IP leasing.
As well as Capcom and Marvel.

And the New Telltale GotGalaxy game.

Marvel now owns their Game IPs and serves as executive producers on the various projects theyve loaned out. It's the same approached they've done for their cinematic universe that their Interactive Development has adopted. Because let's face it... Beenox and Activition has butchered Every Spiderman after Spiderman 2...

[cell989]

Dude I hope they release a Spider-Man PS4 console version . I’d buy it in an instant

[Ceaser9857361]

Sevir
I dont think Marvel would want Spiderman game to stay exclusive and only because of the Movie deals this could be possible.. This is an old news And its all over Google.

[SuperSonic91]

Checkmate!

[jznrpg]

There are so many games worth buying PS for if you don’t have one it doesn’t make much sense to me unless you only plays CoD and such and your friends buy the same box for that but still doesn’t make much sense to me because you could do that on PS and get all of the great exclusives and they will keep coming all generation long guaranteed

[Tobse]

Im not really into superhero stuff. But I loved the ps1 spiderman. Might buy it on a discount

[trooper_]

Your trolling fell flat on its face.

[Tobse]

How is any of that trolling?

[Relientk77]

It's a real exclusive

[lokirevamped]

You're 100% correct. I personally think there are games on all platforms that should be witnessed by true gamers whether it's PS4, Xbox, Switch or PC. That's why I bought each system for my son and myself. I'm not a fan of a console, I am a fan of the games.

[BiGT85]

I own a playstation 4 pro spiderman is a day one but for me!!!

[Toolster]

Don't care about this news, just give us a release date.

[Majin-vegeta]

Few more hours and well know

[HeisenbergX]

Hell yeah ! and get a Switch .. Ps4 pro and Switch is dream team.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Not owning a PS4 this gen would be detrimental to a serious gamer. There are just too many spectacular exclusives that you can't get anywhere else. Bloodborne, R&C, Horizon, Uncharted 4, God of War, Spiderman, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, TLoU 2, and Dreams all are/will only be available on PS4 /Pro and all are and appear to be titles you do not want to miss.

[mandingo]

To be fair, you can’t list games that arent out yet because they may or may not be good. But yea I agree, ps killed it this gen. Ive always played Xbox but if I had the time to own two consoles I’d def get one.

[trooper_]

Wow.

They just laid down the law, lol.

[mandingo]

What if the game turns out to be bad? Should people miss it?

[Gamist2dot0]

It won't turn out bad because it's developed by a company with a current good track record, backed by companies with good track record.

[mandingo]

Yea probly

[paintedgamer1984]

Xbox dudes would rather die than support a japanese based console. Their mentality is support american based products without knowing their box isnt even made in the usa.

[georeo]

Well they just asked if it was, nothing wrong with that.

[AspiringProGenji]

A simple yet effective answer...

Never!

[Hardiman]

Straight and to the point, I love it!

[blackblades]

It was pretty obvious really, no answer were needed.

[Xenophon_York]

A lot of us were surprised when No Man's Sky announced going multi-platform.

[leoms]

SAVAGE!!!!

[Doja]

"Soooooo exactly how long is never?"

-Microsoft

[Hardiman]

Good thing there are PS4 Slims and Pro's available at local retailers so there's no reason any gamer couldn't play this amazing looking game!

[Saijahn]

snatch all the exclusives i like and a ps4 around the holidays when there all dirt cheap. Hopefully TLOU2 comes out by then.

[Retroman]

" Spiderman" will NEVER!! be on X1 ok, one for one ....overdrive will never be on ps4 and spiderman will never be on X1 ooooh' tay! meanwhile back at Imsomniac : lets build remake of "going commando" since remake ratchet 1 did extremely well.

[bluefox755]

So might have been on ps4 for a second game, but I doubt it as the sales weren't too hot the first time time around.

[jznrpg]

What is overdrive? Sunset? Looked to dudebro for me

[darthv72]

Oh its so much fun though. Think jet grind radio meets ratchet and clank.

[Retroman]

If you knew I was talking about Sunset overdrive why even ask.
Dang , some people you gotta explain everything.

[Ricegum]

I nearly picked up an Xbox One for Sunset Overdrive, the game looked great. Xbox just needs a few more games of that quality.

[ApocalypseShadow]

It's a Sony property with Disney approving it.

Should I laugh?

Might get dinged for that.

[MegamanXXX]

I agree might get dinged for that

[Thatguy-310]

Actually Marvel has the IP rights for the games and they took it away from Activision and gave it to Sony who got Insomniac to work on it.

[MegamanXXX]

So what are you saying? You still think this game is coming to Xbox?

[ApocalypseShadow]

Actually, Disney owns the game rights. Sony owns the movie rights. They are collaborating to make something great.

[BiggerBoss]

@megaman

No, he was just saying that sony doesn't OWN the rights to Spider-Man games like they do with the movies

[badz149]

the thing is...Sony doesn't own Insomniac. It's just amazing that Sony was able to summon Insomniac to develop it instead of all of their other studios. I guess Insomniac do love Sony afterall

[ShadowWolf712]

Sony now holds the Spider-Man game license previously held by Activision. Period.

[SuperSonic91]

Even after Sunset Overdrive the bond between Sony and Imsoniac is unbreakable!

[jaymacx]

@badz149 who wouldn’t wanna go where they have everything needed to be successful. Spider-man will get sales on name alone. You add in Sony exclusive and talented developer then you got a successful combination.

[MegamanXXX]

I'm surprised he even asked him that question knowing that Sony is publishing
the game 🤔

[Christopher]

Sony also published Minecraft on PS3 and Microsoft published many multiplatform games on Xbox.

I think a lot of people don't understand the difference in this licensing deal and how it was started by letting Disney/Marvel access to the movie character of which Sony still has full rights to.

People are used to Spider-Man games being available on all consoles.

[SilverDemon]

No, sony didn't publish Minecraft

What made you even think that?

[_-EDMIX-_]

Except this isn't Sony simply helping out the distribution in the marketing deal of a multi-platform game

this is a property they're literally spending their own money on so if they turn down Sunset Overdrive because they couldn't own the intellectual property you kind of already know your answer to why suddenly there publishing and funding this game.

[Eonjay]

@SilverDemon

Yes they did. That is a known fact for years now.

[Christopher]

***this is a property they're literally spending their own money on so if they turn down Sunset Overdrive because they couldn't own the intellectual property you kind of already know your answer to why suddenly there publishing and funding this game.***

1. Normal gamers don't know who's fronting the money for what, they just know the names on the box.

2. Who the hell was asking a question in my comment, let alone about funding?

3. What does any other game have to do with the topic of people being used to seeing Marvel games on multiple platforms?

[Christopher]

***No, sony didn't publish Minecraft

What made you even think that?***

Maybe facts?

Look under the list of publishers: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

[MasterCornholio]

I didn't know that.

What's funny is that Greenburg said that games published by Microsoft are 1st party titles. So does that mean that Minecraft is a 1st party title for Sony?

I know it's not but I find Greenburgs logic a bit flawed in that case.

[Blu3_Berry]

Glad they are being completely blunt about it. "Never" says it all.

[SuperSaiyanGod41]

Doesn't Sony own the rights for Spiderman?

I see thanks for the reply.

[BiggerBoss]

They own the movie rights; not the game rights though. They allowed Disney to use Spider-Man in the Avengers movies in exchange for the exclusive games.

[UCForce]

Well, Sony does own Spider-Man movie license. Even Marvel choose Sony as gaming publishers because Sony First Party Strong Reputation peak marvel interest.

[Thatguy-310]

They want their games based on their IP's to excel in narrative and they chose the right publisher for this Spiderman game.

[Imalwaysright]

Then why isn't being made by one of their 1st party studios?

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Imalwaysright - Because Sony has s good relationship with Insomniac, and their track record with free flowing open world games is second to none.

Does that work for you?

[Imalwaysright]

xX-oldboy-Xx

No. If Marvel chose Sony due to the reputation of their 1st party studios why would Sony give the project to an independent studio? It would be like slapping Marvel on the face.

[Redemption-64]

They own the movie rights, not the game. But Disney wanted Spider-Man so bad, they gave it to Sony in exchange to use Spider-Man in MCU

[ShadowWolf712]

That's pure speculation, dude. Nothing solid indicating that.

[Redemption-64]

You mean it’s pure speculation that Sony owns the movie rights to Spider-Man and not the game? Or do you mean it’s pure speculation that Sony allows Disney to use Spider-Man in their MCU movies? Or do you mean it’s pure speculation that Disney has given the game rights to Sony? Or do you mean it’s pure speculation that Disney wanted Spider-Man in their MCU badly? Which is it?

[DemonChicken]

This is what really happened

https://www.resetera.com/po...

[sampsonon]

in other news Spider Man 3 will be new on your x one, "the most powerful console ever made"

[JackBNimble]

If that ever happens, by that time the X won't be the most powerful console anymore.
It's only a matter of time.

[Redemption-64]

Not to beat this dead horse, but why would a fully and I mean a completely fully funded game by Sony go on Xbox? Also if am not mistaken, Sony who owns the movie rights to Spider-Man allows Disney to use Spider-Man in MCU and in return Sony gets exclusive game rights to Spider-Man

[DemonChicken]

https://www.resetera.com/po...

[DillyDilly]

No doubt XBOX will eventually get their own MARVEL exclusive soon enough

[BlackTar187]

Not for awhile

[Sunny_D]

It wouldn’t be worth putting it on the Xbox. The Xbox has been left behind. Everyone one plays on PS4 in terms of consoles.

[Christopher]

"Left behind" is an extreme way to put this. It's not like gamers aren't buying tons of games to play on Xbox. They have a much smaller market reach, but they sell games well enough from third party studios.

[Thatguy-310]

Doubt it simply because MS isn't known for their strong narrative single player games.

[ShadowWolf712]

The Switch has a better shot at this point.

[BlaqMagiq1]

So it can end up being cancelled like a bunch of other Xbox games? That wouldn't be smart of Marvel and Disney to do.

[Razzer]

Why? MS doesn't have anything to leverage for it.

[Liqu1d]

No doubt? Really? Xbox don't care about putting out high quality single player exclusives, they only care about barebones "games as a service" games. Xbox doesn't even have a large install base to use as leverage. Marvel want their IPs represented with respect, Xbox is never getting a Marvel exclusive.

[Christopher]

Not exclusive game. Marvel nor Disney are going to ignore market share potential loss by going that route.

[MasterCornholio]

What makes you say that?

[Tazzy]

I don't see that happening and even if it did the chances of it being good are very slim look at Sea of Thieves.

[Gaming4Life1981]

Well we knew that and that sucks to keep a super hero to one console but hey what do I know.

[SublimeStylee2]

Who exactly is stoping Xbox from making their own games? Oh right....

[Sgt_Slaughter]

This is just as laughable as when people expect Bayonetta 2 and 3 to be on other consoles besides the Wii U/Switch.

[SuperSonic91]

Nintendo can keep Bayonetta all they want cos PS4 has 2B, 9S and A2.

[Tsar4ever01]

LOL!! Look at the twitter reaction memes after Insomniac's 'NEVER' reply!! Freaking Comedy!!!

[PowerOfTheCloud]

Nice to read!
The more top notch true exclusives, the more the installbase grows, the more money can be made on the platform by sony AND third parties which results in even more awesome and varied games for me and my fellow playstation gamers.

Their problem if people chose to buy and still stick with the Xclusivebox none aka Gaasbox one aka emulation box one.

[Skankinruby]

Ohhh snap, down goes another one

[SuperSonic91]

Insomniac drops the Megaton bomb!

[sazselesbon]

I guess I will borrow my friend's PS4 for this one. The same one I'll get for GOW4. I can't miss these games.

[jznrpg]

Or you could buy one used for around 100 dollars or so

[LegoIsAwesome]

But PC will?

[UCForce]

It has been denied by Insomniac last year. Spider Man is permanent PS4 Exclusive.

[Legatus]

https://mobile.twitter.com/...

https://www.playstation.com...

What part of "Only on Playstation" do you guys don't understand ?

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

They're used to reading 'xbox exclusive' only for it to be a timed or console exclusive.

[trooper_]

Lol, no.

[Araragifeels]

Obviously Disney went to Sony for a marvel games and Sony went to insomniac, choose Spider-Man.

[Thatguy-310]

Got me thinking if they gave Insomniac the option of chosing any marvel IP to work on does that mean that Disney gave Sony a few more? If that's the case I would love a Captain America game from any of the big Sony studios.

[Hardiman]

I know it wouldn't happen but imagine Naughty Dog doing a Cap game!

[Pancit_Canton]

Dafaq. Didn't Sony already specified that Spiderman is a PS4 exclusive during their conference? Sony is publishing and funding the game for those who didn't know.

[dripdrop30]

In other news, water is wet..
Super hyped about this game btw

[Officialxandr]

Because Marvel already stating that the future of Spiderman games is up to PlayStation wasn't enough. 🙄

[FallenAngel1984]

Well no shit, Sony is investing in this project

[OffRoadKing]

If you dont already own a Playstation to play this game and so many amazing more games that can only be played on Playstation than that's your loss.

[monkeyshawn60]

So how was he pwned? He is probably used to seeing Spiderman games come to all consoles. Believe me, this was not a burn or slam. If you want a burn, Hideki Kamiya says why Bayo 2 and 3 not coming to other consoles, now that is a burn. Insomniac was very nice and professional.

[michellelynn0976]

Considering Insomniac is owned by Sony. I don't think it will come to other consoles.

[Chevalier]

Insomniacs is NOT owned by Sony. They are an independent studio that has the luxury of picking up projects where they want.

[michellelynn0976]

Really? I did not know that.

[Kiwi66]

Insomniac games focuses on maintaining it's independence, despite working solely for SIE for decades it has never been part of SIE . The studio partnered with Sony because Sony helped market Insomniac's games

[michellelynn0976]

They do make good games. That is the important thing.

[SuperSonic91]

That is what you call Creative Freedom.

[Vizigoth04]

This isn't true. Would be nice though.

[Vizigoth04]

Insomniac is not owned by Sony. Would be nice though. They've had the most success with Sony: Spyro, Resistance, Ratchet and Clank. Sunset Overdrive seemed good for Xbox but not everyone. I hope that Sony can one day aqcuire them if interested. The relationship is like that best friend that's a girl without the drama of being married. At the moment Insomniac is a bit of a Swiss Army knife right now with the variety of games they have made. Spiderman can put them on a super high pedestal.

[Chevalier]

" Insomniac Games focuses on maintaining its independence. Despite working solely for Sony Interactive Entertainment for decades, it has never been part of SIE Worldwide Studios. The studio partnered with Sony because Sony helped market Insomniac's games. The company's team found being controlled by publishers frustrating. According to Price, working with Sony is an "autonomous" process; Sony can provide input into the development of games but Insomniac has complete control of them.[56] Insomniac later decided to produce games for platforms other than Sony's PlayStation series so it can own the rights to its franchises and establish its own brand identity"

Here's the paragraph off the Wiki that is pertinent to what you were suggesting. Sony has tried to purchase them. This was pretty much their response.

[SuperSonic91]

What do you know?

[Simmo3D]

As much as I want to play this game on Xbox One X, I would be just as happy with Sunset Overdrive 2.

[ShadowWolf712]

According to Insomniac, MS isn't interested in SSO 2 and other publishers are reluctant to publish SSO 2 when they can't touch SSO 1. Turns out that MS's deal to publish SSO 1 was a "lifetime" deal so even though Insomniac owns the IP, they don't own the publishing/distribution rights to their first game.

They pulled that same thing with Tales of Vesperia back in the day.

[Mr Marvel]

Spider-man feels at home on Playstation imo.
I like that it's exclusive because it means ALL of their focus is on one version of the game (which luckily for me is the PS4). However I do hope they put a lot of effort into the Pro enhancements too.

[rjgbyrne]

It's good to have exclusive games and as an Xbox One X owner this is fine with me! It looks great and I hope all the PS4 owners get it and enjoy it so Insomniac will make even more video games. Keep the industry strong, exclusives matter, but not as much as keeping developers doing what they do best!!

[ChristopherJack]

It's published by Sony so no surprise there, this specific game will never appear legitimately on Xbox One. As for the Spidey franchise, well that depends on Marvel & Sony.

[Father__Merrin]

Good. There's nothing like this on pc or Xbox. In fact you could dig out prototype on pc and run it in 4k 60 with mods lol

[BlaqMagiq1]

Good. A true exclusive. I can't wait to play this future masterpiece Insomniac. My Pro is ready.

[DivineAssault]

If someone intentionally bought xb1 instead of ps4, they likely dont care for 3rd person or rpgs.. Everyone should know the differences between both consoles by now..

[Goldby]

only flaw with that logic is Gears of War is 3rd person,
Alan Wake and QB are 3rd person,
Dark souls is 3rd person,
Fable is a 3rd person franchise as well.

[DivineAssault]

I didnt say they dont exist on that console.. I said "they likely dont care for 3rd person or rpgs".. Big difference.. Sure some exist but nobody went out to buy the xb1 in hopes of playing a lot of those games.. Also im not talking about 3rd party titles because obviously sony and microsoft get that support.. The way i see it and let me be clear THIS IS MY OPINION... XBL & the xb1 controller is better (except for fighting games).. But since i like fighting games, single player games, rpgs, etc playstation is the best option/value for me.. I dont have the time to play everything at home like i used to so i have no need for the xb1.. The switch is great because i get to play their exclusives and indie titles on the go.. When im home, its playstation for exclusives and 3rd party.. I would like to play killer instinct and cuphead but im not buying console for a handful of titles.. When people are looking for a new system, im sure they decide based on what their friends have and the game options available to them..

[gamer7804]

going to wait on reviews for this one, been consistently disappointed by spiderman movies and games.

[P_Bomb]

PS1/PS2 had the best Spideys imo. Marvel just s*^% the bed last gen.

[gamer7804]

I've kinda forgotten about those its been so long. Hopefully they can make something special im just not getting my hopes up.

[cl1983]

You realize that sony has own the movie and game rights to Spider Man since the 90's. Any failings in the movie or game side solely rides on their efforts.

[P_Bomb]

@cl1983
Sony doesn’t own Spider-Man in videogames. Activision’s been the publisher for years.

The first PS1 game was also on N64, but Spider-Man 2 Enter Electro was exclusive. History repeats.

The Spider-Man 2 movie game was also on Xbox. Ultimate Spider-Man had a GameCube port. Shattered Dimensions had a DS version, Web of Shadows was on Wii. Edge of Time, Friend or Foe. All on Activision’s watch.

[Hakoom]

bOOm headshot

[PS3_Noob]

By far going to best spidey game. It is about time. Resistance series. Ratchet and Clank are all real exclusives so I knew this will be the same

[milohighclub]

Don't Sony own the licence to spiderman?

[Crazywhitie]

I wonder want these companys pay for this type of exclusivity.... I own both systems so doesn't bother me much. But the Dev looses so much money dont having these games on all systems. Also Native 4k would have been nice.

[OB1Biker]

I don't know the detail for this game in particular but you have to understand that companies fund exclusive games that would never see the light otherwise. The fact of being exclusive is precisely the reason they exist. I'm sure it will look superb in 4k on PlayStation.

[Crazywhitie]

It will be 4K via temporal injection, 30 fps... (this is 1080p upscalced to 4k ) I'm sure it well look beautiful and play great since its Insomniac (bring back Resistance)

@gamingunited. Horizon zero Dark sold 4 million copies. To your 90 million consoles that's just under 4% ...

GoW 3 only did 5.2 million I believe.(but this is a sony owned game)

I personally only think exclusively should come from console companies own dev's.

[Goldby]

@Crazy White

the problem with your logic about that 4% of gamers buying Horizon Zero Dawn is that it isn't the only exlcusive coming out for Sony.

just think, if they make 25 different exclusive games, and each only sells 4%, that's 100% of customers covered.

its much safer bet to have alot more exclusives that sell between 1-4 million copies than having pretty much 4 exclusives to try and sell to 30+Million players.

"I personally only think exclusively should come from console companies own dev's."
so im guessing you would have no issue with the next Fable coming out to Playstation as well, seeing how Ms doesn't own Playground.

[Hardiman]

I have a great 4K HDR 65 inch and games like Uncharted 4, Lost Legacy, HZD, Ratchet and Clank, The Last Guardian, FF XV, Deus EX, Wolfenstein 2, AC Origins, FarCry 5, Doom, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Witcher 3, Mafia 3, Metal Gear Solid V all look amazing on the Pro! The ones that use CB rendering are stunning and really the naked eye can't tell the difference! GOW is another one that blew Digital Foundry away and it's not native!

[Crazywhitie]

This wasn't about how good games will look.
Digital Foundry has only seen the same 4k captured footage as you an I ... you can tell the difference between native and CB 4k ic you have a good tv...

Kinda like saying you cant tell the difference between a mustang 5.0 and a 3.8

[Goldby]

@Crazy white.

"Kinda like saying you cant tell the difference between a mustang 5.0 and a 3.8"
Both look the same, its the sound that lets people know its a differnet motor in it... kinda not helping your case.

"This wasn't about how good games will look."
" Also Native 4k would have been nice."
"It will be 4K via temporal injection, 30 fps... (this is 1080p upscalced to 4k ) I'm sure it well look beautiful and play great since its Insomniac"
you seem to think this was also about hwo good the game looks.

[MarineLineman]

The game is published by SIE. More than likely, the game exist because of a deal Sony made with Disney to allow Spider Man back into the MCU.

[ShadowWolf712]

The game exists because Insomniac and Sony came to the and offered them their choice of a character to make a game for, and they picked Spider-Man.

Been confirmed by Insomniac many times that they had multiple choices.

[TheVigilanteCode]

That's just straight up savage, man.

Damn...

[BiGT85]

The Playstation 4 will sell 100 million units worldwide by December 31, 2018 due to spiderman, God of war 4. Detroit becomes human, yakuza 6, yakuza 2 hd and, sony deal with Rockstargames (DLC) for red dead redemption 2 releasing this year!!!

[JayRyu]

Source please!

[Redlife2g]

This is news? This is the equivalent of saying halo and forza will never be on Sony.. Yea no kidding

[AmUnRa]

Yes this is news and no it is not like saying Halo and Forza will never be on Sony.
Why?
Cous Halo and Forza is being made by 2 first party studios from Microsoft.

Insomniac is a third party studio. It was second party for Sony but they are 3 party now.

[sprinterboy]

"NEVER" wow that answered his question straight to the point. Harsh but firm hehe.

[Bleucrunch]

Awesome answer, also worth noting that Sony Pictures Owns the rights to Spider Man. That is something they secured with the previous owners of Marvel Comics. Disney has to license Spider Man from Sony to be used in the future Marvel Comic Movies.

Its a Pretty genius move by Sony. They did this right when Marvel was struggling and was about to declare bankruptcy. This game from Insomniac will be epic. This is just from the video I have watched on the game so far. A day One purchase for me.

[Romitajr]

PC?

[Majin-vegeta]

Nope

[sprinterboy]

The level of intelligence on here astounds me sometimes

[megaleo009]

Spiderman is completly ps4 only.

[megaleo009]

Sony have all copyright as well,spiderman is completly for ps4(5 month ago they told us but the people are never remembering that).

[JayRyu]

I'm looking forward to this game but I'm not getting hyped up. We don't have a release date yet which means it won't be out until the fall or winter. So looks like it's ways off.

I still do hope that MS gets back with insomniac for Sunset 2. Come on MS make this happen!

[MasterCornholio]

I'd rather have another Ratchet and Clank from Insomniac than a Sequel to Sunset Overdrive.

But that's just my preference.

[JayRyu]

Okay, but isn't there like 5 Ratchet and clank games? I would want a Sunset sequel.

But that's just my preference. :)

[MasterCornholio]

I understand but most of Insomniac fans would prefer a Rathet and Clank over SSO. However I wouldnt mind another Marvel Super Hero Game from them if Spiderman turns out to be good. I'm pretty confident that Spiderman will be a good game to play.

[Saijahn]

I always assumed it was PS only. Wasn't looking for it to come to xbox.

[windblowsagain]

Sony Pictures will continue to own, finance, distribute, and exercise final creative control over the Spider-Man films. The next month, Marvel Entertainment CCO Joe Quesada indicated that the Peter Parker version of the character would be used, which Feige confirmed in April

[Elda]

Knew this already. Possibly 22/06/18

[Elda]

It's September 7th.

[Xavi4K]

Why anyone would be surprised by this? for god sake the game is fully supported by Sony and whenever it was mentioned during E3 or any gaming event they have said Exclusive for Ps4 I don't know why anyone would think else :/ ...its like saying confirmed Forza won't be coming to Ps4!!!

[Christopher]

Majority of people don't watch game show events or follow games as closely as regulars on gaming sites. They're also used to every superhero game going to all major platforms.

[Parasyte]

Yeah. They said it was a PS exclusive when it revealed.

[HeisenbergX]

Um yeah we kind of knew that hahaha ... did people seriously thought it would be out for other platforms ?

[zodiac909]

Did people forget what is meant by the term "Exclusive?"

[Chevalier]

Well to be fair maybe Xbox got them all confused with their exclusive launch trailers and exclusive launch games a.k.a. timed exclusives.

[subtenko]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yall can get green goblin! xD

[elJoker5]

This shouldn't come as a surprise.... as Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man...

[HowdyPazuzu]

There is a god!

[JayRyu]

Different categories of exclusive have been around before this current generation. Assassins Creed was listed as playstation exclusive when it debuted before being changed to a multi console release. Same thing as Metal Gear solid and now recently Hell Blade. So sometimes these things change. However a flat out "Never" from the developer? That's not changing.

[Goldby]

Hellblade was never an exclusive, Ninja theory couldn't afford to develop for three different platforms at once, so instead they went with the 2 that had the largest install base.
and Assassin's creed was never an exclusive.... the reveal for the game didnt even specify the platform it was going to be on, and when they showed off gameplay live at e3 1 year later they were using an xbox 360 controller.

[leeeroythe3rd]

Yep Sony owns Spider-Man movie and game ip... it is there choice to make

[Tross]

We'll still probably see BS rumours like some listing of an XB1 version by some retailer in Bulgaria, but it's good to know that said rumours can be nipped in the bud as Insomniac has confirmed the game's exclusivity. There's a reason why my PS4 is my system of choice.

[RDOUBLE]

Spider-Man sucks anyway.

[Apex13]

That must be the most funniest response ever!

[cellfluid]

OUCHHHHHHHHH!!!! LOL

[chiefJohn117]

Hopefully it's good, we haven't gotten a good spiderman game since sp2

[kayoss]

Fatality!!

That was brutal.

[leemo19]

Such a good year for Sony with exclusives.

[Platformgamer]

boooooom

[Realms]

The comment section is pretty entertaining the usual suspect trolling meanwhile staying on topic who in their right mind thought this game wouldn't be an exclusive? Sony owns the rights to Spider Man and they are funding the game so it puzzles me that they would even have to send a tweet out to clarify this.

[Yohshida]

Oh come on, I was waiting for it to release for my switch. God damn it sony!

[Lime123]

You already got GOTY contender - Sea of Thieves (metascore 69).

[Yohshida]

I know right. I might even watch some movies like god of war for a day to feel less amused

[Flewid638]

This game has a storyline and it isn't a shooter. It would bomb on Xbox.

Every console has its demographic....and deep, open experiences with narrative isn't their thing. If there was a Nintendo console with the horsepower, I could see them embracing it, but the Xbox crowd doesn't typically dig this stuff.

[Plagasx]

I pray to the gods this game will be the Arkham City of Spider-Man games..

[Tankbusta40]

Sony owns the rights to Spiderman, don't know why people are acting like this is a revelation.

[darthv72]

No... they don't. They were awarded the license to publish the game but it was Insomniac (as the developer) that was given the right to pick the publisher by Marvel (who really owns the rights).

[CP_Company]

nice try, now go back to your cave.

[maybelovehate]

Shame we have to play it on such weak hardware but oh well. Better than nothing.

[Urzusix]

Yeah its a shame Playstation seem to be the only ones funding new games

[maybelovehate]

Someone missed the Sunset Overdrive memo.

[Urzusix]

I didn't miss Sunset overdrive I love that game one of the best games on Xbox one. But since Microsoft brought Mine craft there content has been lacking

[Hardiman]

You it would be more of an issue if third party titles looked like garbage on the Pro but they don't! In fact AC Origins, Shadow of War, FF XV, Deus Ex, Wolfenstien II and FarCry 5 all look amazing!

I'm playing FarCry 5 now and it looks spectacular on my 65 inch KS 9000! Without a side by side comparison it's a wash and if amazing gets me great looking 3rd party games along with games like Uncharted, HZD, Spider-Man, Bloodborne, Ratchet and Clank, GOW, Nioh, Nier, Persona 5, The Last Guardian, Infamous, Shadow of the Colossus, Ni No Kuni II, Yakuza, Dreams, Detroit, Days Gone, TLOU2 and Ghosts of Tshushima then I'm more than fine without native 4K!

[maybelovehate]

That's the spirit.. as long as you never had good, bad always seems good.

[Goldby]

^thats the spirit,

When you only have so little to chose from everything will seem good.

[TheEroica]

No xbox fan really cares... I mean, they're playing fortnite and sea of thieves and a million other games by September... The system wars are dead. No one cares.

[Avengerz43]

Lol @ MS base getting slaughtered in exclusives

I also take joy in seeing the PC master race crowd getting boned by Sony and Nintendo on great exclusives. Have fun waiting 15 years to emulate Spiderman finally.

[Sayai jin]

K. Glad to see so many are excited for this game.

[SpinalRemains138]

When Microsoft sends them a check. This isn't rocket science, nor is it personal.

[DeeJayQc]

I'll be waiting for more gameplay... from what we've seen, that's an on rail game with QTE... The helicpoter chase scene seemed fully scripted. I hope it's gonne be a full open world.

[Goldby]

they have already stated that the helicopter scene was only one of the paths you could take during that mission.

[hanko14]

well hopefully a PC version comes out

[Legatus]

https://mobile.twitter.com/...

https://flic.kr/p/G996an

Sorry to crush your hopes but it will not come out for pc. Spider-man is full PS4 exclusive.

[hanko14]

thanks for the heads up

[hanko14]

the people who dont like this are idiots

[welly300]

Really this is news? Not for one second did i think this would go xbox... or is it because Hellblade and No Mans sky is coming to xbox so they needed to stop anything positive... with the obvious😂

[loadstone007]

A shocker.

[Goldby]

The* Shocker,

There is only one in the spiderverse

[ShadowWolf712]

Technically not so.

NEVEERRRRR..you get it?

[michellelynn0976]

@EDMIX who are you talking to? I said that, not Monkey. Anyway, this is off topic. I have given facts to you, it is not my fault you don't read them. That is your fault. I admitted I made a mistake. That is what grown ups do. Unlike certain people who write people in private cussing at them and calling them names. Right EDMIX?

[newsposter]

30 FPS...

[corroios]

This gen with jag cpu cant do 60frames in almost any game. Nothing New.

[corroios]

Imsomniac. Next do the remaster of the resistance trilogy and bring backup the co_op of R2

[Mr_Luke]

Was there any doubt?

[GuyBanks]

... and? Who cares?

[DOOMZ]

It's a shame, would look amazing on the X!

[MasterCornholio]

It's still going to look Amazing on the Base PS4.

So it's not like it won't look amazing in the first place.

[Goldby]

Will look just as good on the Pro.

buy a ps4 if you want to play it

[ASBO-5]

Well duh, its a sony IP, obviously its PS4 only

[mikey201]

Nintedo says Mario will never be on PS4....well no shit

[Enigma_2099]

SONY has exclusive rights to the character. Frankly I'm surprised they got any of those other games.

[JokerDem]

A game like Horizon may be worth purchasing a ps4 for but this game looks basic and linear not even a chance I'd by this for a few hours of gaming do better.

[King_Lothric]

Feel the power of a TRUE exclusive game!

[HyperMouse]

Canst say i care its just spiderman

[m2stech]

Microsoft hates single player games, they wouldve canceled it if it was an xbox game by now.

[Miacosa]

This was known back in 2016.

[masterfox]

what a sweet answer :)

[alialaa12]

Rip Xbox users like always.
