GI: "We went hands-on with the opening, got into some fights, and did the thing we wanted to do more than anything else: web-swing through the open city."

This looks amazing. Swinging is so fluid and the combat looks great. Also nice to see there will be weather effects!

JaguarEvolved2237d ago

I can't wait to play this game

bouzebbal2237d ago

Insomniac are great developers

The people worried about qte combat must feel silly now. Combat looks so fun

GTgamer2237d ago

you mean those certain fanbase fans who were not gonna be able to play the game on their favorite hardware because anyone with a brain knew it was only for the set pieces even after insomniac said wasn't gonna be qte only game but I whatever.

UCForce2237d ago

This will be like Spiderman 2 video game which is my favorite.

@morganfell lol 😂 it was funny they published an article worrying about the release date right before the official announcement. Boy did they (Insomniac ) silence all the worriers.

outsider16242237d ago

Can we kiss Mary Jane upside down in the rain though...:-p

Ceaser98573612237d ago

outside

"Can we kiss Mary Jane upside down in the rain though"

That would have been awesome but Intihar ruled that out when he was asked about it :(

MegamanXXX2238d ago

I see this game selling so well

Mister_Wolf2237d ago

Agreed, I half thought it wouldn't arrive this year. So glad it is.

SkippyPaccino2237d ago

Its Breaking 10 millions for sure (life time)

MarineLineman2237d ago

That’s my guess, especially if both Sony and Marvel are aggressive with the marketing

XisThatKid2237d ago

Especially after Infinity War I see a "MGU" forming if this gave successfully captures an audience

zeuanimals2237d ago

XisThatKid

Maybe an MGU, but there's so many iterations of characters and plot points that a single MGU might not suffice. And not every character can have a game. Spiderman translates so well into gaming due to how fun it is to just swing around, and his powers lend to a lot of fun possibilities for combat. Compare that to Captain America or Iron Man. Flying around as Iron Man won't be as fun as swinging around and the combat will largely be shooter based with fighting in the air having a dogfighting feel. Captain America is even more limited, he runs fast and I guess he can drive or pilot vehicles to get around even faster, but again, not as fun as swinging. And combat will consist of hand to hand, shield throwing, and maybe guns, fun I don't know if that'll be as compelling as the combat in Spiderman can be.

Devs can certainly try to make MGU games, but I can't see it working out for every game like it has for nearly every MCU film.

madforaday2237d ago

When a game is good it will sell well even with no marketing. A game that is good AND that is pop culture, that should sell VERY well.

SuperSonic912237d ago

Like
NieR Automata 2.5 million
Nioh 1.75 million
Dragon's Quaest Builders 2 million
Dragon's Crown 1.75 million

I know me and four of my buddies are locked into buying it already! (Most of whom barely buy games) 😁

I really like that is on rails. I like the sense of control but at the same time I like all what can be done in a controlled space.

xX-oldboy-Xx2237d ago

alb1899 - surely 'on rails' is not what you are seeing? There will be mission structure for sure, but you'll be able to go about it anyway you like.

alb18992236d ago

You are right. It is an open world.

AlphaCentyros2237d ago

This is making my spidey sense tingle.

Themba762237d ago

they should make a spiderman themed ps4 pro

-Ghost2237d ago

I'm sure they will. It would be a mistake not to do it.

darthv722237d ago

A nice red and blue unit with the white spider logo... that would be sweet.

Skankinruby2237d ago

I really hope they do, hope the design is better than the god of war one

Is too damn good! along side Miles Morales, visuals, gameplay, combat, controls, fun factor, music, sound effects, you name it!. Insomniac created a Masterpiece of a game. :)

TheOptimist982d ago

I feel that people don't give enough credit for how good Insomniac has written the story.
They smashed it with the narrative.

982d ago
Germaximus982d ago

Yeah the story is very well written. Extremely underrated by most players. Makes no sense to me. It's excellent.

Yi-Long982d ago

Pretty much the ONLY complaint I had about Spider-Man (Haven’t played MM yet cause I want to play that on PS5) was that the city of New York was a bit boring. I know it’s very authentic and it looks gorgeous in places, and of course it’s a grid-based city with a lot of medium-height high-rise, but I really wish it would have had a bit more diversity & personality between the different neighborhoods/areas. I know it’s pretty much ‘just’ Manhattan, but the devs did such a fantastic job in creating a fun, gorgeous colorful city in Sunset Overdrive, that the realism of Spider-Man’s NY with all the brown buildings felt a little bit underwhelming …

TheOptimist982d ago

Tbh my issue was the same. The world felt pretty barren besides what they had designed for it.

Germaximus982d ago

Yup. Both games are a 10/10 and I felt the same way.

Germaximus982d ago (Edited 982d ago )

"Do you know the part that I loved the most about the narrative? Something I have rarely seen people talk about?"

Felt the same exact way. Doc Oc's story is so damn good. The entire story is amazing. Good article. Shared and tagged Insomniac on twitter. Hope they see it. =)

TheOptimist982d ago

The entire story is amazing. One more stand out moment is when Peter is texting MJ when she is annoyed by him. The text pop ups, the stunning shots and the way them talking like two actual people talking felt so Spiderman-esque.

And thank you for the shout out. Much appreciated!

MP1st Top 10 Games of the Generation

The MP1st staff collects votes and picks the top 10 games of this generation, and the winner is something most gamers won't think of as no. 1!

Rebel_Scum1282d ago

The idea of a FPS being #1 on any list makes me cringe.

N2NOther1282d ago

The idea that someone would cringe at an FPS being number one makes me cringe. Especially when they probably haven’t played this game.

excaliburps1282d ago

As what BlackDoom said. Have you even played its campaign? It's one of the best campaign FPS' ever.

MP is A-tier as well. I love God of War 2018, but even I prefer The Witcher 3 to it.

Rebel_Scum1282d ago (Edited 1282d ago )

yeah I played a few hours of it.
