I think I get it now... Sony bought Activision and now Spiderman and Crash will belong to Sony. They will obviously still let Call of Duty be multiplat though. It all makes sense! Now that would be a Megaton.

Sony doesn't have to buy Activision for spider-man

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Sucker Punch making Spiderman would print money, and I imagine it will look ridiculous if their latest game in early 2014 looked as good as it did. Would be cool if they got the Spiderman kid from Civil War to do its VA as well.

If tom Holland isn't doing the voice my disappointment will be sky high it makes perfect sense especially with the game being(most likely) a 2017 game right with the movie

 

[AstroNut325]

Man, Sucker Punch would easily kill it with a Spider-man game.

This needs to happen! PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN!

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I just want to see Nate Fox on stage again. Spider-Man or not.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

yeah sucker punch spiderman sounds too good to be true.

Insomniac makes more sense. Especially after Sunset Overdrive and I don't think such a big name brand would be set on being exclusive. A lot of money to be made on PC and XBO.

What if Sony is publishing though?

IP belongs to MS

 

[Loudninja]

IP belongs to MS

What IP?

 

[Heckler456]

You'd also think that Sucker Punch would want to move into a more different direction if they were to work with a new IP.

 

[Sharpeye]

Sony and Disney have been having a pretty healthy relationship lately. I think if the Spider Man game is successful we might see more Marvel IPs from Sony in the future. I know it will never happen but a Punisher game by ND would be fantastic.

 

[Raylan]

IP belongs to MS

No, it doesn't!

Sunset Overdrive belongs to Insomniac Games.

Sony has the movie license, they also registered a Spiderman 'working title' trademark I believe, which started this whole rumor to begin with. That rules out Xbox, unless it goes to PC under UWP (which it won't be if Sony published) and MSFT loopholes that into their new Win10 'Xbox' consoles.

Wonder what the legal ramifications are when/if that comes to play, if third party exclusives loophole a UWP PC release?

 

[icespide]

No, it doesn't!

Sunset Overdrive belongs to Insomniac Games.

right? that was kind of the whole point of them ditching sony

 

[mikefrails]

Is the Crash Bandicoot going to be there?

 

[Raylan]

right? that was kind of the whole point of them ditching sony

Yep

are you sure ?

 

[KrebStar]

You know, a Sucker Punch Spider-Man game would be pretty neat, but a Sucker Punch X-Men game would be amazing.

 

[icespide]

are you sure ?

being able to own the IP is the entire reason Insomniac went to MS

 

[Raylan]

are you sure ?

Yes!

Insomniac Games owns the Sunset Overdrive IP.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

No thanks. ND needs to work on new IPs, they're too good to be wasted on established IPs. I would say the same for Sucker Punch but Spiderman by them actually makes a lot of sense. I'm fine if they're working on a new IP/inFamous sequel though.

 

[DeepEnigma]

are you sure ?

101 proof positive.

 

[Turkoop]

Yes

ok, thats good! sorry my bad!

 

[DriftingSpirit]

IP belongs to MS

He was talking about Spiderman. Well, I was anyway.

 

[Audioboxer]

Again, exclusives have a monetary value. They could of negotiated it into it being 'The Agent', but the deal could just as easily be renegotiated to be a decade's worth of exclusive marketing rights on all Rockstar releases, or exclusive DLC for the next 2 or 3 Rockstar Games, or whatever else that is decided upon between Sony & R*.

Personally, I don't see them pulling the trigger on their contract for RDR2, but if Sony finally understands that the dev effort behind Agent has fully stalled, I could see them trying to renegotiate for some other form of compensation. I mean, last estimate for how much that deal came out to was over $50 million worth of funding, so its not like its a small bit of chump change Sony lost & is looking to regain from the LA Noire deal.

Whatever R* put out is going to sell a lot. A 50m investment to sit on for x years for a game from them is nothing. It will make bank.

So I really don't think Sony have any muscle to push R*. They are the one dev you don't want to piss off.

 

[Elfstruck]

Nope.

 

[Raylan]

Nope. He was talking about SO. Your topic was Spider-Man

 

[icespide]

Spider-man obviously belongs to Disney, Sony has the rights to just the movies. How that factors into making games based on those movies is questionable but like someone else mentioned Sony and Disney are pretty buddy buddy right now considering the MCU spidey deal.

 

[Bomb-Threat]

right? that was kind of the whole point of them staying independent

Fixed

IG is still working with Sony

 

[Omnistalgic]

IP belongs to MS

Sunset belongs to Insomniac

Sony doesn't have to own the rights to make a Spidey game. They can just license it from Disney.

In a statement, Disney's chairman of consumer products and interactive media, Jimmy Pitaro, said they have changed their approach to console gaming and would be transitioning "exclusively to a licensing model."

You can add the Star Wars Battlefront partnership as well, considering EA goes with MS for most of their other games, but didn't with a Disney game.

I know that's what I meant, seems like it would be easy to work with Disney on making a game happen

There it is.

 

[The Last Wizard]

No, it doesn't!

Sunset Overdrive belongs to Insomniac Games.

Then they better be working on a pc and ps4 port, more sales means higher chance at a sequel and I NEED A SUNSET OVERDRIVE 2.

 

[AstroNut325]

Nope.

Can you elaborate?

Oh yes.

 

[mejin]

I'm excited for this spider game.

 

[Elfstruck]

Can you elaborate?

Because they could work on something original, instead of licensed IP. Besides, the rumor of SP making SM has been shot down by many insiders.

Over/under on some new Japanese games getting announced? Specifically a Wild Arms 6?

 

[Turkoop]

I'm sure GoW4 will blow us away

Santa Monica better not show up with a CG trailer. Don't make me complain on the internet, Cory!

SSM are probably the most technically talented studio Sony have with Guerilla second. I'm insanely excited about Barlog showing off the new GOW, I can't believe how good GOW3 looks 6 years later! Also pretty amazing to hear Sucker Punch probably aren't working on Spiderman, I really did not want them to be wasted on something like that. As someone that got a PS4 for first party exclusives things are looking so fucking rosey at the moment.

TLG, Dreams, Detroit, Sucker Punch notspidermanhooray, GOW, GT Sport, Horizon, Gravity Rush 2. I am fucking happy, will get the Neo as well to play to enjoy the games because why not I say.

Santa Monica better not show up with a CG trailer. Don't make me complain on the internet, Cory!

If Barlog, after almost 3 years at the studio only has a CG trailer to show, that will be totally fucked up. I think there will be an extended gameplay reveal as there was for Horizon, I have no doubt at all it will be a beautiful game and would be good to show it off. If Neo is happening, I do see that being revealed followed by showing off GOW 4 running on it.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

This is where I stand me and god of war aren't in a happy place right now. If they don't show up on some horizon reveal type time they might as well keep it.
