Compared to XCOM or Deus Ex dying for other Marvel shit, i'll take this any day.
I don't agree. Any discussion of that game brings up the gay homecoming, stunning and brave MJ, the evil white man stealing le jazz objects from the COMMUNITY, Felicia being a lesbian, the disabled graffiti artist scene, "latinx" spanish, etc.
Since Microsoft is third party now, they should let Sony remaster it.
Indeed, Peter Parker is the soul of the franchise... Not his chocolate version.
Spider-Man 2 was all about Peter Parker. In fact some of the biggest criticism is how Miles was ajust a secondary character on tht game. Most main missions were about Peter and the entire main story was about him as well.
They don't make crap but Marvel takes a lot of money from them yes. The problem is it's hard to calculate how much Sony benefits from Spiderman because the game is 100% a system seller so you can't just look at the amount of money made from the game you have to calculate how many people are buying the console just cause they want to play Spiderman and eventually Wolverine. Marvel might not be as big as it once was during the Infinity Saga but it's still huge. Especially if you deliver a quality Marvel product people will flock to it.

Sunset Overdrive almost killed the studio.
Yeah, Ratchet & Clank 38 and Resistance Against Selling Copies. Real loss to the zeitgeist.
It sold though didn't it, and that's ultimately what the publisher looks for, as messed up as that is.
As far as i know, the first game couldn't get to 4M, the second game couldn't get to 3M and the third game couldn't get to 2M sold. All this as PS3 consoles were increasing in userbase.
. The 2nd game did 2.8 million. Again......basically 3 million.. It was the fact that the 3rd game only made like $75 million in revenue that killed the IP.
There is nothing stopping Sony from remastering Sunset Overdrive, MS only holds the publishing rights to Sunset Overdrive not to Sunset Overdrive Remastered/Remix/Director's Cut, etc.
That's already a huge decline for the 2nd entry though.Okay.....but the first game sold 3.9 million. That's basically 4 million
Resistance 1 made about $225 million and Resistance 2 made about $150 million. Falling to $75 million for the 3rd game was a nightmare. With GoY, it's making around the same amount of money as GoT, while costing about the same so no issue there.
Sunset Overdrive made them less than $1000 of profits lmfao.
I have the three games on my bookshelf dear sir... and on my PSN account.
I hope you're right.
It's just way too easy!
Venom is still coming right?Are we all just pretending like their entire production roadmap until 2035 DIDN'T leak here or what?
Because like other Sony first party, Insomniac actually knows how to make good games.
Venom wasn't a part of the game data either, which would suggest it doesn't exist bc they managed to get assets from much later on that timeline. A whole bunch of Spidey stuff got cancelled very early, before this leak.
XCOM 3 was canceled because that absolute awful card strategy game, let that sink in
So spiderman 2, huge IP and mainstream game, had less than 10k more players at its peak compared to a way smaller IP/game that wasn't exclusive to 1 single platform and that was also given "for free" on a subscription serviceBecause like other Sony first party, Insomniac actually knows how to make good games.
Writing? Obsidian games have terrible writing since Chris Avellone left. Thats why PoE 2 bombed.
Keep in mind that majority of Insomniac's audience is in Playstation and these games released years after everyone already bought. Meanwhile most of Obsidian's audience is in PC and TOW2 released day 1 in Steam.
Insomniac beat Obsidian in its own home turf.
A game from a studio whose audience is in Playstation vs a game from a studio whose audience is in Steam. No PC gamers who cared about old Obsidian is paying 30 $ in Game Pass to play it. You are still ignoring the part where The Outer Worlds 2 was day one on Steam and Sony's first party released after years.
I won't call anything modern Obsidian does as "quality".
The numbers show that most people don't think this "social shit" you are whining about is something bad.

The truth is Obsidian can't write a good story since Chris Avellone left. PoE II still had a lot of goodwill left from the first game. Since then it has been a downward spiral.
