Because Spider Man is a Disney character that Sony don't have the exclusive rights to make games about. Unlike the "holy trinity" (cringe) this is not a deal that benefits Marvel, Disney or their shareholders.
There is literally no world in which execs at Disney say "let's restrict a massive character to one platform"

Edit : nevermind. True that may be, it's a bad example.

Okay.
Fair enough.I dunna, it just wouldn't. It's awkward. Everything about it would seem really off, idk just me I suppose.
Part of me believes it, part of me doesn't. I think it's obvious they are working on a new IP, but at the same time ... where the heck is inFAMOUS 3?Finish the trilogy man. Second Son/First Light didn't feel like an end, it felt like a start of something brand new. We'll get iF3 at some point (hopefully with cole back at the helm) but it's just looking really unlikely :/ Wouldn't mind if SP makes an All-Stars sequel, they are quite capable.
I want SP to do Infamous 3, SM or a new IP lol. I feel like Infamous has yet to reach full potential. Second Son was rushed due to being a launch/first year title. Honestly, I just want SP to make games. I want them to have their breakout title that gives them a lot of attention.

Sorry for double.
Hell nah, i want SP to keep making superhero games. And i'm pretty sure they will continue to work on Infamous.
If there's someone thats capable of making an All-Star sequel it's David Jaffe, he would be perfect for it.
And a Spider-Man game would do just that. Too bad it's not very likely that thats what they're working on. But hey, it's going to be Dreams 2.0. so who knows.

Second Son was such a dissapointment, I don't understand how they can from iF2 to SS. It's like ... wut? They really shouldn't have looked at the trophy data for iF2's good ending. They should have gone with the evil ending but I don't think it would have made much difference considering second son was rushed to high hell, plus that and a launch title.
iF3 has a ton of potential. You bring back Kessler, you bring back Cole and Zeke, Kuo and Nix. You bring back the characters that we love. But most of all, you bring in time travel. That way you can get both good cole and evil cole at the same time (fan-wanky dream I know)
But if they do iF3 and they will, you bring back cole. You don't replace him with some doucebag that was full of himself.

Are you me
Much as I'd love that, I really want to see them have one more go with Infamous and tie it all up with another game starring Cole. Then we can talk new IP or licensing
Disney has said that they are going to be licensing their ips going forward and Sony has a vested interest in the movie side of things and they have a studio that can make one of these things so it would be a smart move to license out the ip from Disney and market spiderman around Sony products. Seriously this isn't as crazy as people making it out to be. For all we know there arent many publishers out there that have the resources or want to make a spiderman game. Ea is all star wars and Activision hasn't really had success with licensed properties. Ubisoft have enough games that they don't need to license out these games. Bethesda, wb and square are in the same boat so I honestly don't know how many publishers out there that want to start making licensed games.

I don't think it will happen but Sucker Punch making a PS4 Sly game could be really cool. But I'd imagine if a new Sly game happens it will be Sanzaru again.

Exactly. If the game is delayed to 2017, okay, fine, whatever, it's delayed. But they HAVE to show it in some form at the presser or we're just back to square one again with people speculating about what state the game is in and if it's cancelled or not. It'll be pre-E3 '15 doom and gloom all over again, and nobody wants that. Ignoring the game altogether at E3 would be disastrous for Sony, and if it doesn't show in some form or another I'll eat my hat.
I expect a short trailer that is coy on story details, a specific release date and maybe some mention of a collector's edition.
If an Infamous 3 gets made I hope they go all in on the Ice powers. Need more things like the Ice Jump.
I honestly think the game has some sort of vr stuff to push more people into buying the game and the game is probably going to release in October alongside psvr. The game probably needs that hook to get more looking at it instead of just the hardcore fan base

The ice powers was one of the best things about IF2. And you went and completely changed everything that made 2 cool in SS with it's "video powers" Lame. I remember they where thinking about adding glass as a power in second son, that would have been cool. Reckon they'll save it for iF3. Cole with electricty, ice and glass powers = unstoppable. He was already the beast in the evil ending of 2 so

What kind of hat we talking about here? Baseball, fedora, cowboy, sombrero, etc.? These are the truly critical E3 details.

Really hope SP aren't wasting their time making a Spider Man game, that would be truly awful. I'd much rather they stuck to infamous, have loved all them including the vampire DLC whatever it was called.
We should realistically finally see GOW which is all I care about at this point, I believe that all the other big studios have Sony own have announced their next games at this point. An update on Horizon, TLG and Dreams would also make me very happy. Can't think of any other announcement I care about really, just want to play whats been announced.

I agree completely. Sony is going to be heavily invested in the spider-man franchise for the next 6-7 years. With movie production in house, Sony is in the best possible position to make an authentic-to-the-film video game. Disney has opted to do stylized games so far, but know what having a AAA Blockbuster video game franchise could do for them. Spider-man makes the most sense to try this out with given the broad appeal of the character.
Disney has the right franchise and the right partner (in Sony) to do it right. It doesn't get more of a match made in heaven to have sucker punch work on it, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Disney go all in on an attempt to make the best possible game they can make.

Just imagining IF3 like that with all the potential realized.....YAS! I am thinking of stuff like large scale aerial combat with torn apart buildings in the air and stuff crashing into other standing buildings, lighting soaring through the air, smoke everywhere, etc... I need it!
I'm telling you, Sucker Punch was just in a rush with ISS. Now that they have their new engine in place and more experience with the PS4, I am expecting great things from them. The jump from Infamous to Infamous 2 was fairly big. I expect the same thing from ISS to whatever they work on next.

How long has Sucker Punch been working on Infamous? It came out in 2009 so it probably took them 2-3 years to get it made. So, from 2006 to 2014. Almost a decade on Infamous. I am sure they would be excited to work on something completely new or Spiderman.
Edit - sorry for double again lol.
Yes!
Edit - sorry for double again lol.
Pretty sure people loved him in Civil War and with Homecoming releasing soon now would be the perfect time to put out a good Spiderman game.
or a PSVR demo.

Yea its obvious they were in a rush I'm hoping their next game is infamous again. They seemed interested in continuing saying they still had a bunch of ideas so I'm ready

I am imagining! O_O Not sure where they would set it though, but if time travel was involved then empire city, new marais again would be fine
Or parts of it anyway. A full-scale war with all the conduits back, the reapers, the dustmen, the freakin' whatever they hell they're called, the DUP in SS. The beast. Kessler. And most importanly, Cole. The timeline woud split, giving us this. Go all out SP. Go. All. Out. inFAMOUS 3 has such much potential. I don't think they even realize themselfs. It's odd to me how people can say SS is an improvement over iF2. Sure they graphics was good at the time but the world just lacked .... personality. The characters where bland, the powers where bland. The story sucked. They couldn't even redeem themselfs in the DLC with Zeke, not that he was in it anyway. I suppose if we don't get an iF3 right now, we'll get it in 4-5 years, so 2020-2021. Damn

Well, Bend hasn't actually announced Dead Don't Ride yet. Also, Japan Studio is Sonys biggest, so it's not impossible that they have another project besides the two announced.
I do agree we're likely to see more third-party-developed announcements on Sony's stage than first party, though.

For me, yeah. I lost a lot of trust in them after Beyond. I expected them to keep getting better, but they took a turn for the worse (imo).
I'm still interested to see more of Detroit, though. The concept seems cheesy to me, at least what I know of it, so I need to be sold on it. But I did like Heavy Rain and Indigo Prophecy, so I'm hoping for something good.

Vita would need Keyboard and Mouse support, though. And that would not be a fun way to play on Vita.
Hype down.
I'm fine with that. Gives them time to work on the game and hopefully the next update at PSX is substantial.

I'm not. At least show a short trailer.

Guerilla has multiple studios right? Do we know if they're working on anything else? Horizon looks amazing look forward to seeing more. But can I hope maybe the other Guerilla team is working on a SOCOM 2 remaster? Would seem to be a fair project for some of the multiplayer guys who did killzone.
Eh imo a good Spiderman game is much welcome especially if they get the web slinging down. While I love Infamous. I think it's time to put that IP down for a bit.

I can feel in my bones that Alundra 2 and Klonoa 3 will be announced. I mean it's almost too obvious, really.
I'd like Sucker Punch to work on a new IP. A Spider-Man game would be cool, but I'd rather the studio behind Sly and Infamous to make something of their own creation.
For what it's worth, I doubt they'll be at E3 this year. Scott Rodhe has said their project isn't as far along as Bend's so I'm expecting PGW at minimum. More likely next E3 in my opinion.
Sony's trend this generation has been three new first party games per E3. 2014 had Bloodborne, LittleBigPlanet and the official announcement of Uncharted 4 (Yes there was that teaser but it didn't even have a title or show anything). 2015 had The Last Guardian, Horizon and Dreams. This year is almost guaranteed to include God of War and Bend's game. I think the last one will be a wildcard like Crash or maybe something secret from Japan Studio. We will see!

To each his own I guess, but I'd rather they focus on FF15 and then show us substantial info on FF7 remake instead of drip fed trailers and info.
Yep, same for me. But they also should take a break from Infamous for now.
I hope they're working on a brand new IP.

Now to wait for those theater tickets.
I'm with in that if they won't do a new Infamous then I'll gladly take a new IP. Just please not spiderman. There is nothing they could do with that that would make me interested. I mean of course the gameplay could be pretty good but the character has never interested me at all.

I think a Spiderman game could be a good fit for the Infamous mould.
A Venom infected Spiderman gives you both a morality system and multiple superpower sets.
I always thought the side missions in Infamous were jarring and didn't gel to well with the narrative but if you were playing as a friendly neighborhood Spiderman...

How would Spiderman be boring? He is the prefect fit for an open world traversal based game; his foes are have been made iconic and given interesting stories and motives; his powers just make him the ideal candidate for a title in the vein of Infamous. Plus SP would get more visibility and recognition if they succeed in knocking it out of the park, which I believe they are equipped to do.
It also makes total sense from a commercial perspective, especially considering the enthusiasm surrounding the Marvel Universe nowadays.

If anything, SP will show something at PSX in december instead of E3 or PGW. Counting on it. Still too early. Guess they could do the reveal similar to second son, but ehhh ... that was akward, especially with nate fox on stage panacking lol. Good ol' nate Miss ya nate
