Tbh, I think I would have given it a shot.
Looked interesting conceptually, but knowing that Insomniac had Venom, Wolverine and Spider-Man 3 ahead of them for what's left of the generation, it is clear that they didn't have enough bandwidth as a studio to support the development of this project.
"so much promise with its multiplayer concept"
It's the base game with other spiders. Nothing revolutionary about it.
It would be cool for 5 minutes, but then the boring gameplay would get in the way
Spider-man games are cool due to the story/presentation, not gameplay. You take that away and you end up with just the sloppy wannabe Arkham combat, but with spongier enemies 'cause online
It could be worse than Suicide Squad in many ways, but saved in terms of sales by the Spider-man and Sony names
Yes... so much so that they... cancelled a near-finished game.From what I can see, PlayStation knows what it's doing with Live Service. What do you think?
The leak made it look nice and shitty. Create your own tragic loss and all sorts of other assorted live service nonsense.Looks better than all the other superhero live service games we've been subjected to.
Not that the bar was high to begin with though.
Hopefully and most likely not. Other than ruining design features, it takes too much resource for this crap to be worth it.It got scrapped because they're gonna include it on Marvel's Spider-man 3.
What are you even saying? The Division is literally a GAAS too, which isn't even a bad thing as the only thing that GAAS entails is that we're talking about games whose goal is to receive support for several years after launch - why would anyone be against that?It's seriously such shit that all of these games are ruined by GAAS. This looks so much more fun than Spiderman 2. Why can't this just be a simple co-op games like the Division or something. WTF.
Not true at all. I mainly play on my PS5 and have pretty much every Sony 1st party title. Love the majority of them.Not true at all. This is the "Sony makes movie games" lie. But I do agree that there's nothing revolutionary about this GAAS game.
Isn't this the one when the leak first came out there was a powerpoint and one of the main points listed was:
"A space where everyone is welcome!"
Spider-man games are cool due to the story/presentation, not gameplay.
But imo, Spider-man gameplay is mediocre. It copies the Arkham combat, but its way more brain dead and derivative. The Arkham combat feels much better, has more variety and plays better. Even the stealth is just like Arkham but worse.
Could've been fun.
But I would've called it "Spider-Men".
That said, Sweet Baby would have required "Spider-Persons".
By... cancelling it?
Adding DLC's to a multiplayer game is not GAAS. The division had like 3 or 4 DLC additions that added to the map. It's the same as how Battlefield premium was.What are you even saying? The Division is literally a GAAS too, which isn't even a bad thing as the only thing that GAAS entails is that we're talking about games whose goal is to receive support for several years after launch - why would anyone be against that?
I remember how the internet collectively lost their fucking minds the moment Rockstar announced that they'd be ending new content releases for Red Dead Online, saying that they were killing the game and so on - but isn't that the business model that y'all constantly ask for? Weren't you people like begging for Sony to release TLOU Online that way, saying that long-term support doesn't matter?
Come on, get your ideas together, GAF.

Shoulda went the spiderverse route.
I saw that too, but I figured they would've went with clear language in the title or something that aligned with that.Apparently Spiderman 3 will include online components and is the reason it's going to be day1 on PC. I could see this just being rolled into that. Benji-sales apparently played it and said it was amazing.
Isn't that what this is? I saw them jumping into some portals
Every since "Sweetbaby inc" has been revealed, only on Neogaf will you see "gamers" disparging a game like Spiderman, saying wild stuff that isnt true, but echoes similar sentiments of what Xbox gamers think of Playstation and how they just get a pass from the media.
Gameplay not fun, lol.....You literally have people that play Spiderman games just to swing around and do air tricks. SpM2 has better combat than Batman games, you're just being disingenuous at this point saying the combat is anything similar. Its not even similar to the first SpM1 game. The only thing similar to the combat in Batman is that you fight in a crowd. Every 3rd person fighting game has a dodge, couter, block and special attack. That didnt start with Batman games.
Its weird to see how such a popular game gets people such emotional responses from people that dont like it, or never played it. Usually people just ignore games they dont like, but its obvious theres a new trend of hating on a piece of media that is deemed woke, as a new way for like minded people to share in solidarity and hide social political affirmation by agreeging how much they dislike a particular form of media.
Im glad they cancelled this. It does not look like a finished product. Seems like Gwen has the same move set as Peter Parker. Save this concept for an actual multiverse game where Gwen Stacey and Spiderman 2099 can have more of a identity to seperate themselves as potential stand alone games if Marvel wants to build on the Insomiac universe.
The gameplay is great for Spider-Man
But what is great for SP may not be enough for a live service game
Co-op mechanics and spectacle is what’s needed, a ground up game not shoe horned from SP
That’s what Helldivers taught them
I saw that too, but I figured they would've went with clear language in the title or something that aligned with that.
Cancelling the lotto number after placing the bet you mean.Almost as if they can read the lotto numbers before buying the ticket. I've been beating this drum for years now.
but this concept reeks of quick asset-grab without any true service and support vision.
I saw the leaked presentationNot sure how you got that from this short little video honestly.
As well as all the cringy gay side missions of asking out people to proms and other venues.Just think of all the LGBTQ skins we'll miss out on.
