Does Spider-Man Fit in the 2018 Holiday Season

On this Week's episode of The Trophy Room: A PlayStation Podcast, host's Joseph and Kyle over Spider-Man and Spyro release date announcements. What gamers know about Insomniac's Spider-Man, so far. Also, the gang tackles why Spider-Man PS4 in a cramped holiday season is a recipe for success. They also talk about Monolith's decision to pull microtransactions, and loot boxes from Middle Earth: Shadow of War, and whether its too little too late. Ubisoft's announcement of a Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell cross-over, make the guys wonder whet PlayStation exclusives would make a fun crossover. Maybe God of War 4 Kratos meets Alloy from Horizon Zero Dawn, and what it would look like. Lastly, should Sony change the PlayStation Netflix app?

It will fit well into my Blu-Ray drive this Holiday Season.

firelogic2206d ago

You can launch Spider-man anywhere on the calendar and it'll sell incredibly well. Yes, even up against games like Red Dead 2.

joab7772206d ago

And it’s kicking it all off, so it’s fine! It’s in the perfect position. The game that may suffer is Destiny’s Expansion. It NEEDS to right the ship and now it will be going up against Spider-Man.

CP_Company2206d ago

it is hard not to win against 2010 game :D

Hardiman2206d ago

Yes Spider-Man is a world known character and will sale in any season! He is popular enough to pull his weight and should do big numbers for PlayStation!

Poli_Games2205d ago

No doubt! You think theyre holding off on a Limited edition ps4 for e3?

Hardiman2205d ago

Id say chances are very high! The GOW Pro will move units and if they do a Spidey one then it'll move even more!

Just imagine the numbers if they'll do if there is a Spider-Man Pro! That combined with the Red Dead 2 bundles this holiday season and Sony's looking at BIG numbers!

guywazeldatatt2206d ago

It will sell regardless but I'd rather have it in like September. I think that's the perfect time for it

DigitalRaptor2205d ago (Edited 2205d ago )

Yeah, Spider-Man is the most popular superhero of all time and this game will be the second biggest game of the Holiday season next to Red Dead Redemption 2, which is coming out in October. It could come out any time, but September is perfect.

ninsigma2206d ago

Would have preferred a summer release personally but I'm excited to play whenever it releases :D

Poli_Games2205d ago

I personally thought it would land in August but im so in! I cant wait!

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein7d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

Yi-Long7d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius6d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius6d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk25d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218324d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken24d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker25d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218324d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast25d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog25d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast25d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave25d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
