Insomniac Responds To Concerns Over Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse Suit

The last of the three promised DLC packs for Marvel’s Spider-Man is now available and with it come a few new suits for everyone’s favorite Web-Head. However, one of these suits has sparked a little controversy among fans. To celebrate the release of Sony’s new animated feature Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse, Insomniac games has added Peter Parker’s costume from the film. But why was Miles Morales suit not included?

NarutoFox2354d ago (Edited 2354d ago )

Why would Peter Parker wear Miles suit? It would make no sense for pete to wear a suit that miles will eventually dawn in the sequel. I swear smh 😁😂

Btw the movie was dope

Smokehouse2354d ago (Edited 2354d ago )

Saw a preview at the end of venom and it was great. Top notch animation. I went from indifferent to a day 1 sale.

bennissimo2354d ago

A cartoon that's better than the Maguire movies.

TekoIie2354d ago

The movie is easily now the best Spiderman movie ever made.

Also, I think they shouldn't act dumb to this. It's obvious that the Parker suit from the movie is more or less a variation of the basic suit whereas Miles graffiti suit looked beautiful and was something new. Anyone in their right mind would rather that than what we got.

Hungryalpaca2354d ago

No way this was the best. It’s good but doesn’t touch Spider-Man 2.

TekoIie2354d ago (Edited 2354d ago )

@hungryalpaca

Incredible visual design, brilliant soundtrack, superb pacing, far more varied/interesting characters, better humour and delivers a creative narrative with very few faults. You've got your work cut out for you if you want to even attempt to defend the position of SM2 being better.

Typically though it seems people like to state an opinion but not back it up so I don't expect much.

DevilHunterDante2354d ago (Edited 2354d ago )

Spiderman 2.

This is a freaking cartoon.

TekoIie2354d ago

@DevilHunterDante

"This is a freaking cartoon."

Video games are for children, amirite? Try again. Next argument.

RememberThe3572354d ago

None of the movies are that great imo. Glad to hear this one is might actually be compelling.

TekoIie2354d ago

@RememberThe357

It follows a non-traditional story structure for a superhero movie and fits a hell of a lot into 2 hours. It's an origin story that really doesn't feel like one. The art style is gorgeous and the choice of music is on point.

Hope you enjoy it if you watch it :)

Imalwaysright2353d ago

I don't know if it's the best because I have yet to watch it but is certainly getting raving reviews.

Daeloki2353d ago

I agree, the suit was basic, and we don't need that (just as I don't think the Raimi-suit is special enough to add it as a separate suit). But I also get their point with Miles's suit, a suit that Miles is inevitably going to wear somewhere along the road. Save the graffiti suit as an alternate suit for him later on.

ShadowWolf7122353d ago

The Raimi movies aren't even that good, and have not aged well. They're VERY dated in how they approach characterization, storytelling, and drama in the genre.

cell9892353d ago

Agreed that’s its the best Spider-Man movie so far, but not about your argument on the suits

TekoIie2353d ago (Edited 2353d ago )

@Daeloki

That's okay but their argument was "why would Parker wear Miles suit?". Well, why is Peter wearing the Ben Reilly or Kaines suit then? Its almost on par with DICE's comment about a pink Darth Vader in BF2.

@ShadowWolf712

The Raimi movies are actually good (maybe minus the 3rd) and were an example of how to do superhero movies in a time where they weren't nearly as popular as they are right now. With that said ITSV is still leaps and bounds above it.

@Cell989

"Agreed that’s its the best Spider-Man movie so far, but not about your argument on the suits"

Why? What's wrong with Peter wearing Miles suit as DLC? Why would you rather we get another version of the standard suit over a far more interesting design?

OGamer2353d ago (Edited 2353d ago )

Let's be honest with ourselves. its because he's black thts why some of ya'll feel indifferent about the movie.

Lets be real for once. Peter parker is boring.

Daeloki2352d ago

You have a point, but unlike them, Miles is actually in the game already. On the other hand it might get weird if they decide to have them appear later on in a sequel.

IamTylerDurden12353d ago (Edited 2353d ago )

Exactly. Peter wouldn't wear a suit for Miles. We will see Miles in suit in the sequel. People are just looking for fake criticism bc there isn't any real criticism. Insomniac nailed the game and the suits. Remember the puddle bs? Spider-man is phenomenal and Insomniac should be applauded for their fan service.

Ceaser98573612353d ago

WOW! I saw AQUAMAN and got bored.. Should have seen Spiderverse instead... Will go on tomorrow, Tuesday.

Skankinruby2353d ago

It was good? Had to back out on plans with my buddy, just hope it's better than the last one Homecoming sucked

Why even respond to such stupidity? “I’m outraged that x wasn’t included!”. Kick rocks dummy!

kevnb2354d ago (Edited 2354d ago )

Most people selling a product try to make their customers happy, except ea seems to like to make fun of them and sometimes even get hostile.

Smokehouse2354d ago

I’m one of their customers and I’m not telling them how to make their games. What’s your excuse?

rainslacker2354d ago

I'm pretty happy with the game, and all the content in the DLC....although the 2nd one was a bit on the weak side story wise.

The suits are cool, but I really only liked to wear a few anyways. I'd just switch them up periodically for giggles. Not having Mile's suit wouldn't make me blink an eye, particularly since I've never been a big Miles fan either way.

Silly gameAr2354d ago

People will make anything an issue, because they have to keep that drama going.

TekoIie2354d ago

@Smokehouse

Dude you can read the responses and there's no outrage. If anything the first response that calls anyone any names or comes across as angry is actually one defending Insomniac.

I think you've overreacted without actually reading any of the responses.

Smokehouse2354d ago (Edited 2354d ago )

I’m not reacting at all let alone overreacting lol. I’m just asking why they would respond to something so dumb. Oh so “concerned” that miles outfit didn’t show. Concerned about what? Get over it.

TekoIie2354d ago

"I’m not reacting at all"

Lol.

Smokehouse2353d ago

How am I overreacting? I’m not being a concern troll to insomniac, I’m not defending insomniac from the concern trolls. I have nothing to do with that shit lol. I think both sides are pointless.

I’m asking a simple question dude. What is the concern? Honestly answer that. Concerned about what exactly? And why would they feel the need to address something so dumb?

Dark_Knightmare22354d ago

Article is wrong the last dlc pack isn’t avaiable right now it won’t be till Friday

jagermaster6192354d ago

Who cares just enjoy the damn game and shut up!

AK912354d ago

Because Miles isn’t playable as Spider-Man yet, I mean it’s a pretty obvious answer

For those spreading lies here about Marvel making the most out of the deal...

The rate has tiers. 9% to 18% physical and 19% to 26% digital for the first 7 mil. So even if it's 26% for all versions it's not that much. Considering all platform holders charge 30%. And just like 30% is how much Sony is getting from call of duty.

Now let's think about how much money Microsoft is making off Indiana Jones on PS5 and steam since there is a platform cut of 30% plus the disney cut...ouch. 😏

Chevalier177d ago

Plus why would Disney mess with a deal where they sit back and make a crap ton of income without lifting a finger?! Idiots think Disney will say no to money? Lol

Yes considering the IP, 19-26% isn’t really that crazy.
For context google and apple wants 30% for selling your console and PC games on a phone.

Tacoboto176d ago

False
Proof: you are able to purchase titles within the Steam and PS Apps. You've always been able to.

The one exception is Xbox, where they both (1) have their own mobile store agenda, and (2) have remote play built into the core Xbox app, while PS Remote Play and Steam Link are separate apps.

Can someone explain me the math here. 20 million copies x $60 = $1.2 billion max (assuming every copy was sold at $60 which it possibly couldn't).

Even Gta5/RDR2 didn't generate this much revenue in their first year even though they sold much more. Something is off here with this revenue calculation.

176d ago
Chevalier176d ago

Basically people like Boxx don't know wtf they are talking about. There was also an expensive collector edition of the game, faceplate, controllers and a special edition console. Add in new customers to Playstation buying the system to specifically play Spiderman and yeah you can bump up revenue in multiple areas. Spiderman is that popular.

mkis007176d ago

It's a guy saying their games helped generate revenue...not any official revenue. He's touting revenue that wouldn't exist without the game. So ya toys and comics. This is not a sony financial report.

It took GTA 3 days. And Spider Man had a season pass as well that released all it's content a couple of months after launch.

1Victor176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

“It took GTA 3 days. And Spider Man had a season pass as well that released all it's content a couple of months after launch “

Reminds me how many devices was gta released on and who’s fanbase bigger CoD or gta 🤦🏿.
Edit:Congrats to Sony.
Damn I missed a obscured account troll comment 😩

Amplitude176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

Spiderman didn't have a season pass in the traditional sense. It was 3 story missions included in the Deluxe edition, but with the ability to purchase them all separately as a pass. They were multi-hour stories as well - It's not like Insomniac has been constantly building on Spiderman, collecting money monthly from players in exchange for monthly content drops.

Hell, all the skins they released were free for everybody and there have been a ton of them.
Why are we comparing Spiderman to GTA5 anyway? You can pick literally any game or media release and it doesn't compare to GTA5 sales - plus, one is exclusive to Pla-... this is dumb.

Redemption-64176d ago

It's only off if you decide to exclude accessories and custom consoles/bundles. Those are all part of the revenue

176d ago
Redemption-64176d ago

@TysonDor
Sure, if that helps you sleep better at night. You might not be smart enough to know this, but most games don't get bundles or their own custom consoles. If Sony, Nintendo, and MS create a custom console of a game that ends up selling millions, that revenue is counted towards that game. Video game sales are not the only way games make money.

They are not fudging any numbers, they are counting the money they made through this game, hell I would say it's more if we include merchandise sales too, but that goes to Marvel, not Sony
