I wish I was family and/or friends of the staff...

TinaLauro5099d ago

Where do I sign up? :P This should be an excellent beta of an excellent game. Let the excitement begin!

jmobley5099d ago

gotta wait till august to get in

GetoverHere1225099d ago

I predict they will eventually just let everyone in like Uncharted 3.

@ jmobley
that´s what she said.

DanielComfort5099d ago

August? Poooooo.

Aw, well. Much love to Insomniac, so I can wait.

trainsinrdr5099d ago

1 question will this game use the auto health regen or is health pickups back?

jmobley5099d ago

not sure, would rather have auto regen though

pungello885099d ago

Totally I hate searching for health packs

SoapShoes5098d ago

It's health packs for single player so maybe for multi again. Auto regen sucks, it makes it too easy!

Nitrowolf25099d ago (Edited 5099d ago )

from Single Player its Health Pickup. Multiplayer i am unsure, http://www.youtube.com/watc... according to this they removed it.

The thing that makes me unsure with Online is that Chimera have regen. It's part o their ability in the story, so i'm unsure if it'll transfer online.

Soldierone5099d ago

At E3 the single player had to find health packs. Not sure of online. From what i saw people were regenerating health after a certain amount of time.

GetoverHere1225099d ago

I'm wondering whether betas are all of a sudden becoming just another part of developing a game. It used to be tricky to get into betas, now it seems every game has one. I find I don't want to participate in a beta if it is going to ruin my initial impressions of the game.

jmobley5099d ago

well they are all around good for the games industry

pungello885099d ago

Yeah, I generally am a little too lazy to take advantage of a beta but I guess it could spoil the initial impressions. I never thought about that

How ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Did Dual Protagonists Right (And Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Didn’t)

Shaz from Pixel Swish: “Both Insomniac Games and Ubisoft have given us games with dual protagonists. However, where Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart’s duo feel exactly the same, Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Yasuke and Naoe feel unique.”

They are exactly the same because it's another version of Ratchet within the multiverse. It's not Ratchet himself or a female version of him but it's someone else who's taken his place / role within that Universe.

The_Hooligan76d ago

Agreed! A better comparison take would have been between AC Syndicate and AC Shadows.

gold_drake78d ago

with ratchet, they are the same, they play the exact same.

im not even sure why this needs to be said, we all know.

isarai78d ago

They weren't trying to make them play differently, literally 2 versions of the same person. Wo ur saying they failed at something they never set out to do 🤨

Profchaos76d ago

What in the f who even thought of that concept and connect these two games that released years apart and have nothing to do with each other.

You could of said fuel protagonist vs other times where AC did duel protagonist or a game like GTA v that allows for on the fly switching

Like how desperate are they for clicks

Levii_9276d ago

Rivet's character was more useless and forced than Abby from TLOU2.

MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol? Also remeber how a beloved vilain Dr Neferious was reduced to a braindead wimp and a parody of himself?

P_Bomb76d ago

“MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol?”

It’s still going on. Especially @ Marvel.

Insomniac Collectively Decided to "Double Down on Story-Driven Character Action Games"

Insomniac's Ted Price talks about the ballooning game development costs, and how it was a studio decision to focus on single-player games.

Cacabunga99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

Wise decision, but give up a little on spiderman please as well

darkwalker99d ago

In other words, Sony forced them lol.

isarai98d ago

Literally only ever made sp games even when they left sony 🙄😒

-Foxtrot98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

Not really. These days it would be more believable if you found out Sony tried to force them do generic live service slop

isarai98d ago

Which they did and cancelled it, thank goodness 😆

Inverno99d ago

I'll be that guy. Their writing needs work cause the story in both Spiderman games were pretty bad. I'm all for more SP games, I prefer em, but man is writing in games in general just gawd awful.

Extermin8or3_98d ago

First spidermans writing was fine, second hand some points where it could have been better and based on the leaks due to the hack alot of content for cut for whatever reason. Had it managed to stick to the story that was originally written without the sometimes frankly weird changes that were made - it would have been much better written.

Inverno98d ago

I thought the first game was too crowded and the characters that should've gotten more attention didn't get enough due to having a rushed Sinister 6 inclusion. But hey thnx for the reply rather than just hitting the disagree.

-Foxtrot98d ago

"enough due to having a rushed Sinister 6 inclusion"

It wouldn't be so bad if they continued this development in background of Spiderman 2 so when Spiderman 3 comes you had the Green Goblin and the Sinister Six as the end goal.

Oh but no...they decided to have Kraven kill most of them off screen and them kill Kraven off at the end when he was part of the original Sinister Six in the comics, how dumb can you get.

Flewid63898d ago

This isn't even the consensus on these games.

-Foxtrot98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

Depends on what game

First Spiderman had a great story

Miles Morales was alright changing the Tinkerer, giving them a brand new origin as Miles old friend to give him a villain over creating his own original villain (which he REALLY needs, even in the comics) was pretty silly. Some of her decisions, writing wise, in the game just made no sense where her sacrifice in the end didn't feel earned.

Spiderman 2...I'll give you that one. They tried to include far too many things story wise and they just couldn't spin that many plates. Harry's return, friction with MJ, Miles, Miles friends and Family, Hailey, Venom, the Symbiote war, Kraven and his Last Hunt. It just felt all over the place and Peter didn't to really shine like he did in the first game.

Extermin8or3_97d ago

Second game was subject to loads of cuts which is why the story feels off I think. https://youtu.be/VEONGKG1gL...

Travesty99d ago

Where are the days where we could have both a really good story and a really fun multiplayer without sacrificing one of the two.. It doesn’t have to be a live service title to be multiplayer. I understand there’s a lot of work that goes into keeping up with it, but still.

Inverno98d ago

Those days were left on the PS360 era. I spent too much time during my depressed teenage years playing and sucking at Uncharted 2. I know people really enjoyed the Gears MP too, and Halo doesn't need to even be explained. Some games did it right, too many tacked it on, and F2P ruined it all.

isarai98d ago

I think the main problem is that everyone overthinks the multiplayer. It doesn't have to be some Grand live service game with season passes and a giant open world map with a Battle Royale mode.
