Insomniac’s Wolverine Needs To Occupy The Same World As Marvel’s Spider-Man

Insomniac has proven it can do one superhero right. Why not give them the entire universe?

He will probably exist in the same universe as insomniac's spiderman. i remember a while back when insomniac said they want spiderman to be like the tony stark of their in built universe. i have absolute trust in insomniac to deliver something truly epic in this universe.

Magog966d ago

No thanks. I would prefer a more mature tone and a less arcadey experience.

Teflon02966d ago

What does that have to do with occupying the same universe. Wolverine isn't the typical vigilante styled hero. He doesn't have to follow the same style and not sure what is a arcade experience about Spiderman. At this point people just say things to say things. I like arcadey but Spiderman is a open world action game. What is arcade about it? Could call it a beat em up as opposed to arcadey but that'd be about the closest

hotnickles965d ago

I don’t mind arcade feel but I want the gore and grit themes. The only reason you would put them in the same universe is to eventually get them in the same game. So instead of starting with gore and grit and moving to a safer rating to combine them they just start with a safer rating and that sucks imo.

Yah let him do his own thing not everything needs to be connected

jwillj2k4965d ago

Connected doesn't mean they cant have their own independent stories. It just means the same event and characters can exist in both, but isn't required.

darklaw965d ago

I wonder how traversal would work for wolverine? Fast travel by taxi? Or maybe his motorbike?

Amplitude965d ago

Spiderman throws him across the map and he just waits to heal

hotnickles965d ago

I disagree. To get them in the same universe you would have to tone the savagery of Wolverine down. I don’t want robot enemies I want to see limbs flying. I love that insomniac has the license but I hope it has a more “mature” nature. I want berserker Wolverine not the cartoon show. I would buy either of them though.

medman965d ago

1. I am encouraged by the carnage and bloody hands shown in the trailer that Insomniac is taking the more brutal route.

2. I do not believe Insomniac would make a pitch to Marvel and Sony to tackle a Wolverine game and then make a game that is not true to the essence of the character and what they know fans want.

3. Insomniac hasn't put a foot wrong in a very long time and they are an incredible studio.

4. I believe this game will be incredible....we just have to wait for it.

hotnickles965d ago (Edited 965d ago )

1. Good point. But does that shatter the possibility of a shared universe? They can exist in the same comic book universe because comics are not regulated like games let alone licensed games.

2. I agree
3. I agree
4. I agree

That's Madripoor. That version of Wolverine goes by Patch. That bar is iconic in the comic books long before the games and the movies.

mkis00711d ago

Its the angle, not the location, as far as i can tell.

Cacabunga10d ago

Yes very slow news day i can see!!

mkis00710d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Thor

Ok then its the whole shot afterall...the bar looks closer to the game than the comic in the deadpool shot.

Wolverine in a bar…drinking

Well colour me shocked

solideagle11d ago

I don't think so, if he was wearing same shirt and hat then I could imagine but it feels like grasping the straws

CrimsonWing6911d ago

I mean… I feel that’s a stretch. I think it’s just an iconic shot for Wolverine as I’m sure there’s similar scenes in the comics.

repsahj11d ago

Is there a shot similar to comics? All I know is wolverine drinking on bar in madripoor but not that same exact angle.

thorstein10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

It's called the Princess Bar.

CrimsonWing6910d ago

Don’t they always walk up on Wolverine in a bar? I remember them doing it in the first X-Men movie and even in First Class. I feel like you can only show that in so many ways.

thorstein6d ago

The author of this article is now lying. He's been informed of the comic and how both the game and the movie are paying homage to it.

He deleted the comments from his article because why? He can't admit to not knowing something?

boing111d ago

Nope. You're projecting. This is iconic shot for Wolverine sitting in a bar, in comics, and movies. Why do you think Insomniac used it?

repsahj11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Can you show me an exact same angle shot from the comics?

The Death Of Arkham Has Me Worried About Spider-Man

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."

Hofstaderman30d ago

Why? According to the well publicized Insomniac leaks they have a slew of plans for Spiderman including its sequel.

CrimsonWing6930d ago

The sequel has had rumors that it could be sold piecemeal style or might be GaaS.

https://youtu.be/XCFr3KRB9G...

This is all coming from the leaks you mentioned. The problem is the industry is not doing well no matter how ill-informed people spin it on here when they see “sold 3 mill.” In those Sony leaks it showed the struggle to get ROI and they spend an insane amount of money to develop, which makes 0 sense to me when there’s not much to show for the increased development costs. Case in point would be Suicide Squad vs Arkham Knight.

I believe we’re in the middle of seeing a drastic change in media and distribution. This goes for movies, but more so for games and the industry is scrambling to figure out how to get more money out of consumers rather than stick to the “buy it once” to play it all.

These are things you need to pay attention to in order to know which direction the wind’s blowing with this sh*t storm. I was almost certain the GaaS initiative was killed when Jim was leaving, but now seeing the success of Helldivers 2… I’m thinking we’re in for a bumpy ride. I just don’t know what that looks like yet, but I don’t think it’s gonna be pretty.

anast30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

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.

dmonee29d ago

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!!!!

JimmyDM9029d ago

Seems unlikely when they abandoned the GaaS spiderverse game but are still going ahead with single player games like Wolverine and Spider-Man 3.
