I'm being dead serious. If we're doing some Spiderverse stuff in this game fine. But Miles again is Spider-Man in his own right. I'm not insulting Peter. Peter is the Amazing Spider-Man, the OG. He will never be topped, but this game having Miles as a supporting character lends to the not my Spider-Man nay sayers and fans that don't like Miles. If Peter is gonna be Spider-Man with MJ and everything I don't think Miles needs to be there. If Insomniac appreciated the mythos as they claim, Miles wouldn't be here. I get the feeling that Miles' role could literally be anyone else and he's just there because why not.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see him get his powers in this game (that Spider jumping in it's tank seems to hint at it) and he's playable in a sequel.

Considering how Spider Man is a Vet in this game and he is facing pretty much.... everyone. I would NOT be surprised if this game was the introduction of the "SpiderVerse".

Seriously, I have what? 8 Villains confirmed so far? And Spidey is alone? No way... they have a secret. Miles might be the obvious choice, but i think there will be something else.

Spider-Man will win.

Spider-Man is Marvel's most famous, renowned and most popular character; so a AAA Spider-Man game with enough heart, love and passion behind it will review and sell like gangbusters.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see him get his powers in this game (that Spider jumping in it's tank seems to hint at it) and he's playable in a sequel.
Let's just hope that Miles is kept on the back burner as this is a Peter Parker story. As an OG Spider-Man fan, I love Peter Parker and I'm excited to play a game where I get to play as and enjoy a story involving Peter Parker from start to finish.

Really not liking the character models at all. They have this dead look to them. I like how Spidey looks in his suit and everyone else who is cover up. But them faces I am not digging them at all just like DMC5. With that said the scope of the game looks amazing and really looking forward to how Insominia Games knocks it out of the park.

Only negative for me are the boring villain visual designs. Especially the stupid ASM2-inspired Rhino.

I honestly hope the villains in this PlayStation Spider-Man universe are well developed and get their fair share of individual focus in the game. I am a big fan of Rhino and Scorpion so I like to see Insomniac make them even more awesome

Same here.

I'm also a huge fan of Electro, Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Shocker, Sandman, the Green Goblin, Kraven the Hunter, Kingpin, The Lizard and Mysterio and I hope [given they're all included] that they all get tremendous love and attention given to them.

I wouldnt expect too many more villains since the more they include, the more difficult it is to give them focus in the game. Im pretty sure that Insomniac has a multi-game deal with Sony and Marvel, so they have to think about who the next game(s) will have as the big attractions for villains.

I doubt they just set aside Venom and Carnage

Or perhaps those are specifically the two villains that they do set aside, since Insomniac said there will be no symbiotes in this game.

DLC timed around the Venom movie release, perhaps?

Brian Intihar has said himself recently that there are more villains in the game that they have yet to reveal - and that was as of E3 2018.

As someone who is not really a fan of spiderman or marvel in general, this is looking superb. Got it preordered

I've probably pre-ordered 5 games in my life. This game is pre-ordered. I think that says all there needs to be said!

They aren't gonna throw them all out there in one game. There's already a good amount of villains in this game that are not small Spider-Man villains. If you told me we would get a game with Vulture, Rhino, Electro, Scorpion, Mister Negative, Kingpin, Shocker, and Mystery Villain, I would think that would be a full roster for a packed game, but they also have Silver Sable as an antagonist in there. It seems we're also getting a few more if what the developers say is anything to go by, I'm expecting maybe 1 or 2 big time Spider-Man villains, I would go with Green Goblin and then we will have some lesser villains like Taskmaster and Tombstone to round out the whole roster as side villains.

I don't think there's any way villains like Sandman, Lizard, Kraven, and Mysterio are all in there. I think those will be saved for a future game along with the Symbiote villains.

So... final bet: Spidermam or God of War, which will be PS4's best selling exclusive this year?

We had a thread about it some weeks ago and Spidey won, but then GOW2018 came and broke literally all records on PS exclusives, becoming the fastest selling PS title ever...

Me: I think both will be 10+ million, but God of War will edge it out... UNLESS Spidey is also 90+ MC. Then it is going to be the best selling PS4 exclusive until TLOU2.

Maybe God of War will win. Review scores can be very impactful of course. Then again, this is Spider-Man, one of the biggest names in the business, so who knows? :P

If not in the main narrative, there's always the DLC!!

MJ looks ugly... Almost boyish in the way she dresses too. Look like college kids which is wierd considering they should be older.

A) I've known plenty of women who wear jeans and a top with a jacket as well. Seems like fairly normal clothing to me.
B) Why would it be a problem if they made her a little boyish in this?

Edit - ha ha, never mind. I see you've been permanently banned!

It's really jarring just how awful the villain designs are. It's really the only negative about this game, but it's really throwing me off that they thought any of them looked good.

The only one I don't like is Electro. I think all of the others look pretty great, especially Vulture.

When you said DLC you just reminded me Black Cat is in this too haha, yeah this game is jam packed. And maybe you're right, each one will have a new villain I believe as far as the DLC goes.

Just giving you a heads up that person got banned and I think it's a permanent because it was a junior account.

Critically, it's hard to expect Spider-Man to beat God of War considering what a special, almost groundbreaking case the latter seems to be. Although, I do expect it to get at least a 90. However, I would be genuinely surprised if Spider-Man doesn't outsell God of War. We don't just have a larger reach with comic book fans (both casual and hardcore) and gamers, but Spider-Man is a beloved character for people of all ages. It's gonna pull in casuals, people who don't game at all, parents and their children, so on and so forth. It's gonna sell like some pretty freaking amazing wheatcakes hotcakes.

DigHs2bU0AAHRN-.jpg:large

whyyyyy
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I always wanted to get one of the Hot Toys but you know, price is interesting on them. I always wanted an amazing Spider-Man (see what I did there) figure but only one I liked from them was Homecoming. Didn't have much money for that so skipped it. Now this baby comes in. Preordering it.

Trailer looks sick. I just watched in the office for the first time and everybody was like "dude what the fuck" lol. Oh my oh my oh my how do I live these 50 days. What have you done Insomniac.

Also, love how Miles is playing dumb.
