Spiderman Insomniac Games [ Edited ]

[#1]

Coming exclusively to PS4 from the geniuses at Insomniac Games

From a personal and professional standpoint, this is a dream come true. I’ve been an avid Marvel fan all my life. When I first learned Insomniac was approached by our long-time friends and collaborators at Sony Interactive Entertainment with the opportunity to create a blockbuster Spider-Man console game experience, I practically ran into Ted’s office professing my passion for Spider-Man – along with a desire to serve as creative director.

Fortunately, there are many more longtime fans and professional admirers of Marvel at Insomniac. From comics to films and TV, Marvel has a stellar reputation for unique characters and storytelling filled with personality and humor. Those are tenets we value deeply in our own craft.

From our first meeting, Marvel, Spider-Man and Insomniac have felt like a match made in heaven. So much so that for the first time in Insomniac’s 22-year history, we’re working on an IP that didn’t originate in-house. We love building big games, with incredible gameplay, deep stories, and beautiful graphics. Spider-Man is one of the most iconic and well-known characters in the world, and we’re thrilled to be given the responsibility to create a brand-new, authentic Spider-Man story.

Nope, this isn’t the same Spider-Man you’ve met before, nor is our game based on the upcoming movie. This is a more seasoned Peter Parker who’s more masterful at fighting big crime in New York City. At the same time, he’s struggling to balance his absurdly chaotic personal life and career. All while nine million New Yorkers depend on him for their safety… no pressure indeed.

This collaboration also allows us to quickly return to action developing on PS4. Having released Ratchet & Clank, we feel confident in our ability to create a showpiece for the console. And we’re downright giddy bringing Spidey’s acrobatic abilities, improvisation, and web-slinging to life. But we also want to introduce new elements that players have never experienced with Spider-Man, ranging from traversing with parkour and utilising the environment, to new combat and blockbuster set-pieces.

We can’t wait to share more about our Spider-Man game in the months to come. For all the latest, follow Insomniac Games on Twitter or Like us on Facebook.

Anyone that actually knows me at all can prob guess this is the game of E3 for me and with any luck it will be spiderman arkham and spidey will get the game he deserves.

Like utio I dunno about the suit the white looks odd, it would have been fine if that spider was black tbh but I get the feeling when I buy the inevitable season pass ill get a new costume.

Sony won! I haven't looked at anything else yet, but; they've won!

Heres a couple of bullet points about the game, from dualshockers

• Spider-Man is the biggest game ever for Insomniac, and the most ambitious game ever for Marvel.
• It’s an open world game.
• The game has been in development for “quite some time.”
• It’s not part of the films, and Insomniac is doing a bit of its own thing and “mixing things up” to an extent. It’s an original story, and this was an opportunity for Insomniac Games to create “their ownSpider-Man universe.” It still respects the tradition of the franchise but the developers can afford to take some liberties, for instance with the design of Spider-Man’s suit, that could be seen in the trailer.
• It’s getting better and better every day as development progresses.
• This is a story where Spider-Man’s world and Peter Parker’s world collide. It focuses on who is the man under the mask, and who the man becomes after he puts the mask on.
• The game is confirmed as a PS4 exclusive, published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
• Spider Man is a working title, for now. .

@hayzink your opinion on suit please?

[#20]

its a hard one to call.

the eyes are clearly of the same kind of design to the film with the zoom function.

the new suit is totally influenced by peters clone ben reilly's spider suit (which i was a fan of)

the only time i have ever seen a white spider is on black suit and its a nice contrast

the new suit in the comics has a glowing spider

so it slmost seems like they have taken their design ideas from all of the above and this is what they have come up with.

not going to lie i would have rather had a black spider but then it would have pretty much been bens suit from the first pic i posted.

but overall i think i like the design, however if he had shown up in the movie with this design i dont think i would be happy lol
