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.

Babadook71301d ago (Edited 1301d 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.

TheDoomedGuy1301d 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.

Babadook71301d ago (Edited 1301d ago )

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

Patently false.

TallDarknWavy1301d 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_Noctis1301d 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.

Flewid6381300d 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.

medman1301d 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...

MadLad1300d ago (Edited 1300d 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.

darkrider1300d ago

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

kimbomma11300d 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.

Hofstaderman1301d ago (Edited 1301d 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.

sourOG1301d ago

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

My personal opinion:

Manufacturers and publishers have indeed inflated the industry.

From $700 million development costs for games like Call of Duty, to digital (store) prices for games and DLCs, online multiplayer fees on consoles (why can you play Helldivers 2 online for free on PC but not consoles?) or still preventing sell/lend digitally purchased games.

Sometime in the future, this bubble will collapse.

They should know better, but they just can't help themselves and suck even the last penny out of our wallets.

BeHunted1d 16h ago

Because Sony knows people will be forced to pay those prices for single player and multiplayer games, not everyone prefers PC gaming. Sony also has a monopoly on PlayStation digital games. In 2019, they stopped allowing retailers and game key sellers to sell PlayStation digital games, making them available only through the official PlayStation Store

anast1d 18h ago

The Dutch gov. wants a piece of the pie.

Eonjay1d 18h ago

They should be suing the individual publishers increasing the prices to $80 instead of suing the store. There are plenty of publishers still selling game for like $50 with much success (like E33). But this proves that the publishers are the ones setting the prices.... so again nothing changes because they aren't even going after the main offender. How is suing Sony going to make Microsoft not charge $80 for the next COD? Sony being the number one store in the market doesn't mean that publisher have to charge us an arm and a leg. Again the industry is laughing at us because consumers never get real representation. Just these fake platitudes that are meaningless.

BeHunted1d 16h ago

"How is suing Sony going to make Microsoft not charge $80 for the next COD"

Because Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly, I can purchase Call of Duty at a huge discount from CDKeys or other gaming retailers. The only way to purchase digital PlayStation games is through the PlayStation Store.

djl34851d 15h ago

Weird, I swore GoW, Stellar Blade, Horizon Zero Dawn, TLoU, etc. were on the steam store....uh.....

BeHunted1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

@djI3485

I'm talking about PlayStation games that you can only purchase on PlayStation. I can purchase Steam and Epic games from 3rd party retailers and key stores.

About time. There is zero fair reason why digitally distributed products that you cannot recoup any value when you want to dispose of them, should be priced higher than that of physical copies that entail all of the costs and the benefits of owning.

Its time Damian ...and his mother too & how his son came to be will be a big part in a background story of a Batman movie, series or game.

-Foxtrot3d ago

I'd have rather seen Terry than Damian especially to see what they could have done with Terry in the Arkhamverse

excaliburps2d ago

No, WB doesn't want anything fun since suits want live service garbage for max revenue. LOL!

Shame. If we are getting any Batman games like these, it'll be years away.

LordStig1d 13h ago

YES! make an Arkham game with Terry as Batman and call it Batman Beyond Arkham.

Green-Smurf1d 20h ago

Damian doesn't follow his dad's code. He kills

Babadook71d 20h ago

Not to be confused with Damon Wayans.

jznrpg1d 20h ago

I’m not a big superhero fan but I do enjoy the Batman and SpiderMan games. Too bad this one got cancelled. WB has been mostly shite live service.
