If Sucker Punch released a Spider-Man game based on the comics that was actually really good I would give them all my money. 60$ costume pack, no problem. And I don't need a 1:1 Manhattan. Give me Marvel New York and all it entails akin the Ultimate Spider-Man game and I'm game.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I have no idea about the legal problems but it certainly would make sense for them to have a Spider-Man game that comes out next year, especially if it hits around the movie. I think the hype for that one will be huge.

 

[Alexious]

I'm not sure why they would base the game on the movies.

That seems like the opposite of a good idea for creating a good game and it's not like Arkham City had any issues selling while being separate.

On that I agree. But we all know that Activision still has a penchant for tie-ins, Ghostbusters is just the latest one.

 

[onQ123]

I think this will be like Ratchet and Clank where the movie & game will share assets.


I look at little things & see them as stepping stones now & I think Ratchet & Clank is the beginning of a Movie /Game marriage.

Maybe for the animated movie but I don't see more than a simple movie tie-in happening. Marvel wants to keep gaming and movies separate.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I would prefer it be something separate. Build it from the ground up.

Oh, their remaining license is only for movie and television tie-ins: http://investor.activision.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?releaseid=180674

This is only a problem if Sucker Punch was making a movie or television tie-in.

Wrong post!

 

[The Artisan]

I enjoyed 2 more. The gameplay and location variety was above Infamous 1 for me.

i hated how they changed cole's look and voice actor.

i also didn't like how they were giving cole the extra powers. i would've rather they allowed you to play as the other characters.

That is a fair complaint.

I liked what the powers added to traversal though. It was cool seeing a bunch of ice leaping guys coming at you from behind.

 

[The God]

I'm going to assume this is some new VR app. Not getting my hopes up.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

If it's for the animated film marvel doesn't have a say. They're not involved at all in that.

yeah no doubt the powers were cool, i just think it would've been cool to instead of juice up a character who's already got an awesome set of electric powers, to use the powers to the full extent while playing as the other characters who already have them.

could've also made for some awesome, badass coop modes.

Does Activision hold the license?

I wonder if we'll finally get an open world Spidey game on the level of the Spider-Man 2 tie-in

That's not hard. All you need is proper web swinging and there you go. The rest of the Spider-Man 2 tie-in is pretty mediocre.

If Sucker Punch does this I'm pretty certain we get at least proper traversal mechanics.

 

[Jean Valjean]

that's what I thought but apparently they let it go.

Just like they did with Crash, amiright?

 

[Not]

It says a lot about Spider-Man games since then, doesn't it?

 

[GarciaHotspur]

I can't see how a Spider Man game could be better than Infamous...

Please Sucker Punch don't waste your time with this

 

[The Artisan]

Just like they did with Crash, amiright?

 

[greycolumbus]

I'm all in for a proper successor to Spider-Man 2 but I honestly don't think we'll ever get that. Traversal and motion should be forefront.

 

[TimFL]

Yes ...

I'm fairly certain this is it though, the game we've been waiting for. Well I've said that for TASM1 and TASM2 too but... this time is the real deal!

 

[Zero-ELEC]

We already did, it's called Ultimate Spider-Man.

This is totally just gonna be a trailer for PS4k using the Spiderman font.

They have the movie tie-in license until next year.

Lol heck yeah. Dont want a young and quirky Spiderman. Give me an angry, lost everything, dark Spiderman game. Set after some kind of disaster, collapsed buildings and bridges, looting and all the other fun stuff.
Rated M for mature.
May contain nudity.

True, but why would Marvel go with a PlayStation 4 exclusive instead of using a third party developer to make a game for PC/PS4/XB1 (and maybe even NX)?

 

[I-hate-u]

As a Suckerpunch fan, I would rather them do their own thing. They'll nail down the sense of movement no matter the IP. Spiderman is also kind of lame.

 

[SmackAttack]

I still don't know how to feel. I'm just having a hard time seeing a Spider-Man game being exclusive.

I can't see how a Spider Man game could be better than Infamous...

Please Sucker Punch don't waste your time with this

What? It's SPIDER-MAN. Infamous looked fun and all but let's not pretend it wasn't some sort of superhero game.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

True, but why would Marvel go with a PlayStation 4 exclusive instead of using a third party developer to make a game for PC/PS4/XB1 (and maybe even NX)?

Could be part of their movie deal

 

[Timu]

I'd like it if they don't go with a realistic art style. Cel shaded would be pretty cool.

Like Ultimate Spider Man.

[ForsakenLotus]

I don't think this rumor is true

Spoiler

but I hope it is.

 

[TsuWave]

infamous 1 is still the best inf game.

I thought I was the only one that felt like that. def the best game in the series.

From that perspective it could be anyone, but I just wanted to address the licensing scenario.

 

[firelogic]

Shuhei Yoshida said Sucker Punch was working on a new IP. Spider-man isn't exactly new. It's also disheartening that if true, Sucker Punch has been relegated to doing a licensed game.

Well, it could also be a problem if Activiwion is already making a movie tie in and the sony game comes out in a similar time window.

Why? Whats wrong with doing a licensed game? What if the makers of the game love the license? You think Dice was upset to 'have to' work on Star Wars Battlefront? Judging by the infamous games, I would guess there are some Spiderman fans at SuckerPunch.

Exactly. After seeing that a Batman game can be amazing I have high hopes for this.

A Sucker Punch made Spider-Man game would be a dream come true.

I think the inFamous series is very underrated, huge fan of them, so seeing them bring that quality to a well known character would be incredible.

Definitely, it'd be cool to see Sucker Punch's take on a character like Sandman. Their technical skill would make the game look very impressive.
