Insomniac's Spider-Man Is Impossible to Ignore While Playing Avengers' Spidey

Marvel's Avengers finally got its Spider-Man DLC, but it does not compare kindly to either of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man titles. It's not the most fair comparison, but it's impossible not to make it.

You're comparing a Honda to a Benz here.

Babadook71297d ago (Edited 1297d ago )

While I agree to the impressive quality from insomniac, you have to admit that it’s tougher to make quality animations etc with many more hero’s to animate.

TheDoomedGuy1297d ago

No. It's equally hard no matter how many you're making.

It's easier to stop short of the mark. It's harder to go that extra mile to make it look incredible.

Babadook71296d ago (Edited 1296d ago )

“No. It's equally hard no matter how many you're making.”

Patently false.

TallDarknWavy1296d ago

You have to have a greater number of talented developers who know how to do animation, and make it a priority to spend many hours on like the Insomniac team dedicated. They are also running on two different engines with different capabilities. If you don't have the talent or the budget for this DLC, of course it's not going to be as good as what an enormous talented team is dedicating to their one superhero.

King_Noctis1296d ago

I do agree. I believe they would make a better game if they only only focus on a few superheroes instead of trying to be the jack of all trades.

Flewid6381296d ago

There have been Spider-Man games before the Insomniac version that also got it right. Tbh, this is the only game that got it wrong.

Terrible comparison. You buy a Honda, your buying a car that will last. You buy avengers, this shit just keeps braking down.

medman1296d ago

Honda's are actually reliable vehicles, for the most part, and score that way year after year. I like many models in the Mercedes lineup, but the gle 63 is rated worst vehicle in 2021 for reliability, and others in their lineup like the e class have their own problems. Tesla scores low also. Many times the tech in these cars is the problem. More complexity = more complications.

In short, I take issue with your Honda/Merc analogy.

Insomniac is one of the best studios in the world. CD isn't even on top10...

MadLad1296d ago (Edited 1296d ago )

CD has a strong backlog.
Not sure why you're trying to downplay them as a studio.
Insomniac has been treated as a Sony 1st party long before they actually were one.

It's easy for a quality studio to consistently release quality when you're developing on an insane budget.

CD was forced onto a glorified GaaS title, in a genre they're not known for.

darkrider1296d ago

Not downplay. They just aren't playing with the big boys for ages. It's a good studio. But nothing more.

kimbomma11296d ago

But the real question is are CD a top 10 dev? They can have a strong backlog yet still have 10 studios be better than them currently.

In no particular order off the top of my head...

Rockstar
Insomniac
Rocksteady
Naughty Dog
Guerrilla Games
Sucker Punch
Santa Monica
Bethesda Game Studios
Id Software
Arkane Studios

I'm sure there's many more that others would consider better than Crystal Dynamics.

Hofstaderman1297d ago (Edited 1297d ago )

And in two or three years people will be comparing A multiplatform rendition of Wolverine to Insomniac's Wolverine. My prediction is the findings will essentially be the same as in spideys case.

sourOG1296d ago

The insomniac suit is dope. I remember there being hate for it but it always looked good imo.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.

Truly amazing!

Draws inspiration clearly draws gameplay inspiration from Assassins Creed and action cinematics from Uncharted!

Powered by UE5!

Definitely on my radar!

Unreal Engine 5 usually isn't something to be excited about...

raWfodog19h ago

Eastern devs are putting in that work this gen. The quality of their games have been top-notch across the board. Looking forward to seeing more of this game in action.

Other devs need to take notes and step their game up, figuratively and literally.

Lightning771d 5h ago

Looks very good why wasn't this at SGF?

Obscure_Observer1d 2h ago

Probably because this trailer wasn´t ready yet.

I doubt the developers would miss the opportunity to reveal their games to millions of gamers on four major events like Summer Game Fest, Future Games Show, State of Play or Xbox Showcase on purpose.

Scissorman11h ago

not everything needs to be at SGF. and judging by the reaction and the amount of views the trailer has already garnered, it didn't really need to be there.

Lightning775h ago

If Geoff wants rules on his showcases he needs to get these types of games SGF is largely seen as a borefest each year. Maybe he needs to go out and get these types s of games. Plus Net ease doesn't need SGF but SGF needs this game.

Napoca8621h ago(Edited 21h ago)

This feels like 90% stolen from Uncharted and the guy is also falling or almost falling to often down. Nah this is to much show, something is strange here.

Sonyslave320h ago

It does look like it could be staged or the combat might be like hellblade, but i have hope the devs made naraka battle royal game.

Lightning7716h ago

Ryse had staged area like combat. So did Hell Blade. Linear story based games do this. It's very cinematic like gameplay. The game did remind me of Ryse, how Ryse would of looked if they had a sequel of sorts.

pwnmaster300018h ago

This reminds me a bit of uncharted, ghost, Gow and AC.

Count me in.
