Marvel's Spider-Man is doing very well in Japan. DualShockers verified its availability in Akihabara on the game's second weekend on the local shelves.
Saad from eXputer: "After the rise of Rocksteady and its fall with post-Suicide Squad, I'm worried about Marvel's Spider-Man suffering a similar fate."
Why? According to the well publicized Insomniac leaks they have a slew of plans for Spiderman including its sequel.
Insomniac still has a good generation left in them before they get cannibalized by investors. It'll probably happen around the mid PS6 gen, when we see the beginning of the fall.
Huh with this article? If Sony and Insomniac want to abandoned the Spider-Man franchise and make a half baked, live service Spider-Man game, and miss the mark with their fans, then God bless’em!!!!
Seems unlikely when they abandoned the GaaS spiderverse game but are still going ahead with single player games like Wolverine and Spider-Man 3.
"There’s little doubt to the fact that video games are the ultimate form of art; stirring together elements of cinema and music with interactivity to create experiences like no other."
From the Amazing Spider-Man series to the most recent titles and DLCs, explore which Spider-Man game deserves to be ranked first and why.
Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man use to be my favorite until Insomniac games took over.
My favorite and still champion Spiderman PS2, followed by Marvels Spiderman2, then Miles Morales, followed by Marvels Spiderman, and finally Ultimate Spiderman.
I need to drag out my PS3 and try Web of Shadows, owned the game for years and years and never played.
Spider-Man (2000), Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions were all so good! I have fond memories playing them.
I'm sure Sony and Marvel Games will be extremely pleased with Spiderman. I think it's safe to say we'll see a sequel to the game; the only question is if it'll be a PS4 or PS5 game (or maybe even both), and if it'll come out on more platforms in the future. Although I'm pretty sure Sony won't want to let it go, not without a fight any way.
Im pretty confident the next Spider-Man will be PS5 exclusive... They are probably already in the early stages of developement. Didnt they say it took 4-5 years dev cycle? So at the earliest fall 2022. Unless they can pump it out in 3 years, which is possible with newer, easier to dev for hardware, and a bigger staff at Insomniac.
Absolutely loved the game, but I'm a 1 playthrough kinda guy these days with work commitments and life, but I got my copy of spiderman for £46 got the plat trophy over the wkd and sold it for £40 at CEX, absolute bargain of a gem of a game for £6. Happy days 😊
Why would there be pre-owned copies already ?
I guess the thing with a sequal would be how can you make new York feel fresh and exciting again. Aside from a generational leap in not sure.
Personally as long as the story is good I'll be happy.
But also marvel gave insomniac the choice to pick any hero so who knows the next game could be a different city maybe iron Man in Los Angeles or somthing
