Sony finally has a holiday game lol
Movie releasing close as well..
Not to be contrarian (who me?), but Insomniac has had some mediocre games recently. In the last 7 years, they have put out a couple of weak Ratchet and Clank sequels, then Fuse, which flopped, then Sunset Overdrive, which struggled, and then Song of the Deep, which got mixed reviews. Their only unqualified success in that period has been the Ratchet and Clank reboot.
I'm not saying Spidey will be a dud. I'm not saying it's unusual that a studio as large as Insomniac produces average games now and then. I'm just saying having Insomniac at the helm isn't a guarantee that it's going to be great.
This seems to be more akin to SO in terms of genre, which I thought was great.Not to be contrarian (who me?), but Insomniac has had some mediocre games recently.

I don't know. Whatever the cartoony looking one is that I have been seeing previews for.Venom?
One had a chance but turned out so so...so they decided not to.
GI's hands on impressions are very positive so that's promising.
Taken from resetera
- Reading through and wanted to provide people some details on the article:
Controls:Suits:
- L3 to dive and gain momentum
- X to send out a zip web (used to move around buildings quickly and make sudden turns in direction
- Scan environment by pressing R3
Combat:
- You start off with the traditional suit
- They don't explain the white spider, but do explain some aspects of the new suit, the red parts on the suit are made for armor reinforcement, where he might get hit the most and the blue parts are used for flexibility in order to traverse easier
- They saw silhouettes of a dozen suits, but they said there would be more in the final game
- It seems like certain suits will have their own abilities
Peter Parker:
- It's fast and fluid
- Spider-Man jumps from one enemy to the next with ease
- All about giving the player choices; webbing up and using items, fighting enemies in the air, using gadgets, finishing moves.
The Open World:
- The part that they got to play with Peter Parker is the one we see in the PGW trailer at the F.E.A.S.T shelter
- Walk around the shelter interacting with various items, speaking to characters
- They compare it to those quiet moments in Uncharted games where people are walking around going about their business interacting with each other and various things in the environment
Side Activities:
- The city is densely packed with people and life. Saying that none of the details disappear when they are at a distance
- Can interact with citizens; take selfies with them, high five, finger guns
- Definitely Marvel's Universe; Avengers building, Wakandan Embassy
Leveling System:
- One has you grabbing various backpacks that Peter has webbed up in the past , the one they picked up in the demo had and image Spider-Man's old webshooters
- Taskmaster has placed various bombs all over the city that need to be defused
- Earn crafting components for competing these missions, bonus objectives during them give you more materials
- Outposts that are run by Kingpin need to be taken down
- Seems like Shocker bit from the trailer is tied into a side mission
- Random crimes happen; robberies (actually get to go into interiors), car chases.
- Take photos of some golden cats that are strewn about by Black Cat
Gadgets:
- Gain experience for doing various tasks; finding landmarks, combat, exploration.
- Various traversal upgrades; swing speed, faster launching
DLC "City Never Sleeps":
- Tripwire which we've seen in the demo
- Web bomb which incapacitates a group of enemies at once
- Spider Drone which can shoot webs of it's own at enemies
Minor Story Details:
- Committed to keeping people engaged after the main story
- Each will feature a unique villain, storyline, missions, challenges, and suits
- First one is called "The Heist" and features the Black Cat
The best part is the quote at the end:
- Mary Jane and Peter are not together at the time
- Game opens up with having to take down Kingpin
- Opens up in Peter's apartment showing some daily bugle cut outs of Vulture, Electro, Scorpion and Rhino. Doesn't confirm them as villains in the game, just that some cutouts of them getting captured by Spider-Man are there.
"I walked away from Spider-Man with one word in mind: Amazing. Insomniac is poised to do for Spider-Man what Rocksteady did for Batman. Only experienced a small part of what will be in the final product, but what I played is exactly what I want from a Spider-Man game"
“Sunset Overdrive is and will be exclusive to the Xbox One. Petitions will not change that. We have a partner in Microsoft, that we are happy with for this title. That doesn’t mean we can’t and won’t work with other publishers (see Into the Nexus).
“We realize not everyone is happy it’s exclusive. We hope the game speaks for itself though and the console becomes a nonissue. Thanks.”
He then locked the thread.

It wasn't a major game so no need for it 2 even be considered on another platform.Page is down now, but here is what was said:
https://insomniac.games/community/s...ition-to-Make-Sunset-Overdrive-Multi-platform
It rated decent and was $20 a month after release as I bought it for my son who thought it was awful.Sunset Overdrive is a quality game though and I'm pretty sure they suffered Ratchet & Clank fatigue. Insomniac has brought Spider-Man to a whole new level from what we've seen so far and they are really passionate about Spider Man. The chances of it being great are good which is why most gamers are not concerned. They are talented respected devs in the industry.

The sales and scores did.
