Well isn't Sony paying to have this exclusive character? Would Spider-Man ever be a playable character if there wasn't a deal with Sony? I get why people don't like it but idk.
It's not.Is this cross play? I wonder how people playing Spider-Man will be treated.
the bigger injustice is how bad spidey is going to look if the regular avengers are any indicationMeh, people acting here like this game is going to be good, Spidey or not these Great Value avengers look bad since day one, go look at any thread about the game.
That's the real issue here.
My hypothesis is that Sony isn't leveraging ownership of Spider-Man (which they do not have) to keep him an exclusive character.This is freaking shitty movie, but Sony doesn't really have anything to say about Spider-Man in games? They own some movie rights and thats it? Should we blame Marvel or is there some secret deal with Sony and Disney+Marvel about videogames?
Anyway. Shitty and not needed.

Heh Sony about to open up their wallets.My hypothesis is that Sony isn't leveraging ownership of Spider-Man (which they do not have) to keep him an exclusive character.
More likely it is that Avengers is a AAA game on competing platforms and Sony threw a bunch of money to keep the AAA Spider-Man realm associated with PlayStation consoles. The fact that this is a GaaS that is backwards compatible with/getting a next-gen update for PS5 means they expect people to buy it and base some degree of next-generation console purchasing decisions on that friends list and purchase.
If you guys are mad about this, I suggested saving some energy, because the next year will be a marathon of getting upset.
Why would Microsoft even publish a single game on PlayStation from now on with that kind of attitude Sony has? Even minecraft..
I mean, that's how exclusivity works.You're basically selling the same game though, just lesser content on one which is likely the same price.
You're confusing leverage with an actual connection. Point blank Disney is gonna get Spider-Man back one day, this shit is just them playing nice. Games has nothing to do with the films. Bob Iger isn't calling Sony over a freaking game. He doesn't care. Marvel operates autonomously in gaming.
I'm actually surprised this has so many pages. What i mean by that is that i'm surprised people were interested in the game to begin with. It didnt look great to me last time i saw it which was a while ago though. Has the visuals improved?
Eidos Exec "Let's make Anthem with a big IP, say hows Anthem doing nowadays?"
Bethesda tending it's dumpster fire burning out of control "It's going great, you should totally do it"
Another Exec "Lets artificially limit it's roster"
Exec "EXCELLENT!"
No one in their right mind should believe Grace Randolph. She was the one talking about the dangers of "RACE BENDING" when Tessa Thompson was cast as a dog in Lady and the Tramp.Do you agree with playGhost & Grace Randolph that Sony gets to dictate what Marvel does with the Spider-Man IP inside their own comic book publications?
Forget about single games or studios, some people unironically want Microsoft to buy an entire PUBLISHER (WB Games) in response to this XD
If it was that just got shot downIs this cross play? I wonder how people playing Spider-Man will be treated.

Well, is the source reliable? because this would easily explain everything about the use of the IP. Also, Marvel/Disney basically made Peter as the one that will succeed Iron Man in the cinematic universe, it would make total sense if they let sony use it for games, since, its not like Marvel can make games whenever it pleases them.
But of course, I have no idea about the contracts/deals/agreements
(Unless it was sarcasm, if so, then sorry)
NinjaScooter is hot on their heels, tho.
Pc xbox and ps pay $60 ps gets extra content while xbox and pc pay the same price for less.people are mad about this but how's this any worse than exclusive games, and we have plenty of those
i really couldn't care less about superhero stuff so...
It looked pretty fun in the latest War Table from last week:I'm actually surprised this has so many pages. What i mean by that is that i'm surprised people were interested in the game to begin with. It didnt look great to me last time i saw it which was a while ago though. Has the visuals improved?
Do you have any proof to back this information up? Cuz no one else in this thread making this claim seems to have that.
This would be widespread industry knowledge if it were true.
I mean Spider-Man PS4. I am implying that the Insomniac game was part of a larger deal, possibly including this exclusivity, but nobody knows.
Not because of Spider-Man not being in the game at launch though, that's like saying no one gets a complete game because Wolverine isn't in it (going by comics). Spiderman wasn't a core member of Avengers comics. This game isn't MCU, though it could be influenced by it, the same way Arkham Harley designs influenced current Harley in comics and movies.It absolutely is an incomplete game. Character, story and mechanics.
You think that the people taking a stance against this practice in this thread would change their minds if their preferred platform engaged in it instead?
I hope this is sarcasm!That doesn't make any sense? If what you are saying is true, why wouldn't this message board be privy to the details of that renegotiation? We're enthusiasts.
Why isn't MS paying for their own character, they have way more money than sony, and Crystal Dynamics clearly need all the funding they can get. MS could add value to their version if they fund spawn for their version of the game.
Why do you insist on this despite Spiderman appearing in a Switch exclusive game last year?
soooo... you've played the game? How is September?Meh, people acting here like this game is going to be good, Spidey or not these Great Value avengers look bad since day one, go look at any thread about the game.
That's the real issue here.
But the Sony Disney rights deal that you talked about earlier happened in 2019. Spider-Man ps4 happened in 2018. I'm going to guess they had nothing to do with each otherI mean Spider-Man PS4. I am implying that the Insomniac game was part of a larger deal, possibly including this exclusivity, but nobody knows.
LMAOOOI heard Phil Spencer was a man of honor. When the time comes, he'll fire his weapon in the air .This will put an end to the whole console exclusive affair.
It's not the exclusivity that bothers me so much in isolation. If I wind up wanting the game I'd happily buy it on PS4 to get the "complete" version. My bigger issue as I learned with Mortal Kombat 9 after buying it for Kratos, is that Sony can't be trusted with BC.
I'd prefer not to buy multiplats on PlayStation because I don't think they take backwards compatibility seriously enough to warrant me buying multis with them.
So yeah, this will play on PS5 I'm sure. But on PS6? Not as confident.
Sony, Avengers and Spider-Man have been trending on twitter for hours now. Regardless how big this game would be without Spider-Man, it just got a lot bigger. Crystal Dynamics seem to have pulled off a triple AAA Avengers game AND they just announced Spider-Man as a PlayStation exclusive. If the beta gets good buzz this has everything to become one Of the monster hits of the new generation. Getting Spider-Man on my PS4 copy is amazing, but I'm still excited to play the game on PC with my friends as well. This can become bigger than Destiny, a PS5 console seller AND still get loads of play from XBox and PC players.PS4 beta is soon for this weekend. People are buying access to a beta.
Omg LOL
"YAS PHIL YAAASS"I wonder what would happen if news came out that Wolverine was exclusive to Xbox?
