This game is going to break all kinds of records, I'm feeling it. What is the best selling Super Hero game currently?

If the game doesn't recreate this exact same face somewhere in it then it has already failed.

That is really well done, I wonder how much somethings like that costs. Has this been done before in NYC or is this going to be something we start seeing more of for all sorts of different things. It's clever and with social media it can reach SO many mory people than even just 10 years ago. Really cool.

I live in NYC, and I've taken that shuttle train plenty of times, and this is the first time I can remember someone wrapping an entire train (inside and out) with advertising for something. I also think Sony went with the shuttle because its just a few cars and not a full length subway train...

Dunno, it's not a major line (or even minor line). No one really rides this, it's probably not as crazy as you'd think.
People ride it... you never had to switch at Times Sq from the 123/NQR to Grand Central for the 456 or vice versa? You only use the 7? Sometimes the shuttle is right there and you can just hop on pretty quick.

Lots of marketing is done on this particular line - usually full train wraps for new TV shows like AMC/Showtime type things are ones I've seen.

It's definitely not gonna hurt that parents are not afraid to pick this up for their kids. SM is going to do fucking gigantic numbers as I predicted. I fully think this is set for 10m+ end of lifetime if good reviews and gameplay. No reason it cannot do that. It's been a long time.

This is awesome, that being said, because of all the games, movies, comics, shows, toys I've had of Spider Man in my life as amazing as it is, this wouldn't be a console seller for me. Will I try to find a friend who has it and play it / watch it at their place, yup.

Good to see sony spend tens of millions on advertising a sure fire hit after saving millions of dollars by shutting down Evolution Studios.

as a former NYCer, the cynic in me just thinks "would be nice if the city cared about the subway outside of promotional events"

It is a nice paint job though

this thread is really bringing out the NYC cynic in me as well

imagine when the kids freaking out over a corporate marketing campaign realize that the next Playstation Exclusive Open World (brought to you Exclusively by Sony Entertainment) is an actual place they could go visit
I mean if there was a reason to be proud f the system, shit is always slow, late, problems, not getting any better. All we hear are excuses and more excuses. But I also think it's a part of the city government there's no pride in NYC. I mean I love it and hate it, to much is being taken away from the homegrown New Yorkers.
Lmao word. I stay downtown, away from the tourists. And when I say downtown, I mean Downtown Brooklyn.
Probably cause it'd cost too much to put it on a main line and then it's more likely to be damaged go on longer trips whereas that shuttle is in a controlled environment. I still think it's a weird placement though as I wonder how many people really go through that shuttle.

I kind of agree with the first part of this at least. Companies always do this and it drives me crazy. Watching disney spend countless millions marketing infinity war, a movie everyone was already going to see, baffled me.

Evolution seemed to have been largely miss managed. I mean Rushy just release another dud. You don't perform you get fired, it's not like they didn't have multiple cracks at it.

Never understood these posts? Lol Sony wants to get rid of good studios! The idiots...

Brand awareness I guess.

I mean, why Coke keeps doing commercials since everyone will always buy Coke anyway?
