I'm so glad this comes out on the 7th and not the 4th. Plan on picking this up right after work and spending all weekend tearing it up.

I pre-ordered 4 copies (Digital Deluxe for day 1, Collector edition, Limited Pro and once it releases in China I will support 1 more Chinese edition). Really love what they have shown and be confident of what they will deliver.
Woah. That is impressive dedication and support!

What's really impressive isn't even just that an exclusive is beating out a popular multiplatform title, but a Rockstar title.

This game will sell millions and millions for sure. But the difference between it selling 7 million or 17 will be the Metacritic score. If this game manages to score 90 or more this game will give TLoU a run for its money as the best selling PlayStation first party title of all time. It's how big I think Spider-Man is going to be.

It's a twitter poll. RDR2 and Fallout 76 will easily outsell Spider-Man.
It's clearly a Twitter poll with a much smaller sample size. Anyone could see that. No one was saying anything else. However, to say they'll "easily" outsell Spider-Man is severely underestimating the popularity of the IP. Spider-Man appeals to more than just gamers and comic book fans.

Fallout maybe due to the multiplayer focus

But I think you're hugely underestimating Spider-Man. It's...Spider-Man. That's far more appealing to far more people than RDR's Wild West. Like Spidey is way above Red Dead among Amazon's PS4 Best Sellers

Don't think this deserves its own thread, but the official site updated and added some villain bios and artworks. Naturally, these contain some spoilers. Some particularly interesting bits for Electro and Vulture:

ELECTRO:
With the ability to harness and wield electricity, Max Dillon has a larger mission in mind: to evolve his final form by transforming himself into pure, living energy. Enlisting the help of a sinister mastermind to help him in his twisted quest, Electro has agreed to help dismantle one of the most powerful men in New York City.

VULTURE:
Vulture has vexed Spider-Man with his lethal flight suit since Peter Parker first learned to channel his web-slinging abilities. Now Adrian Toomes suffers from spinal cancer due to the power produced from his winged rig. A particularly sinister villain has devised a plan to save Adrian's life and free him from The Raft prison…in exchange for helping fix a vendetta against a city icon.

Pretty standard stuff, breaking villains out in exchange for helping them, but I thought these were pretty interesting angles never (to my knowledge, at least) explored with these characters before. It's good to know they're not just going to be some goons filling out the Six's ranks but have individual goals as well.

Are people familiar with the paper trail missions in Infamous Second Son's, how would people feel if they add that mission type to the game?

Paper Trail was interesting and pretty fun albeit gimmicky as heck... I suppose I wouldn't mind so long as it's done right.
Given that Peter has a Twitter account here,
it might be a way to integrate something like Paper Trail into the game. As long as it's executed well and is meaningful and not just gimmicky for the same of gimmicks, then sure.
Just like Ratchet & Clank, it'll run in our optimized mode, either in 4K or supersampled 1080p depending on your TV.

Well I think it depends. Obviously, the game isn't going to sell as much, but I bet it becomes fairly popular or as popular online IF the online is really good.
Sorry I mean people spending money for it like they do GTAO,
I've seen people suggesting it will because it will be the focus but I don't see it doing near it.
even if its far better multiplayer than GTA

I was thinking of the same thing, in regards to your spoiler. As long as it is compatible will mobile and not just desktops I don't see no issues. Maybe the could you collecting evidence as Spidey and investigating it at home or work?

The context for why some of them are teaming up is pretty cool, like that it's just not a team up for the sake of it.

It absolutely has to work on a mobile device. Moving back and forth between the living room and my room where my desktop was was such a huge hassle... Plus, it would make perfect sense given the context if that's what they would go for. This is a more tech-savvy and intellectual Spider-Man (as compared to other video game depictions, at the very least) so maybe they could have players solving puzzles as well as investigating cases and the like. It could be a lot of fun!

Sounds fantastic. Definitely seems like they're taking notes from the Arkham games of side missions/villains having their own stories

Yup! It's not something unheard of at all, but it's not uncommon for things like this to not have proper reasoning behind them so it's good to know that they've written out at least this much for these characters.
My running theory is that
Doc Ock is forming the Sinister Six to eliminate Osborn's bid for Mayor
So you think Ock wants to be mayor?
