Creative Director of Spider-Man PS4 Says It 'Would Not Exist if It Wasn't for PlayStation'

Good on Sony. It was already obvious, but that PR speak about empowering creators really does mean something to them.
This is why Marvel went to Sony.
Maybe this will stop the "I don't believe them it's definitely to do with the movie deal, why would they make it exclusive etc." people.

No wonder they love working with PS. They have years of relantionship and have worked it to a point in which Sony trust them 100%, it seems.
Obviously.
The elephant in the room that none of the 3 partners talk about in interviews is how Sony is funding the entire project, and that the reason Sony needed to exist as a middle-man is because Marvel Games is stingy and only want to license their IP, not fund games directly from their vault of movie-profits.
Nope. Sony only has movie rights, not game rights.

Not necessarily. this is a business, and maybe other company would've seen the potential especially with how much Super Heroes are popular nowadays.
Batman existed as a high quality game series before this game, and it is not made by Playstation.

Wonder if a sequel would be out of question without Sony. The game runs pretty great on the Pro but I would kill to experience it at 60fps.
Let's hope Disney and Sony partner to make more games. I would love a good story driven Star Wars game sometime again.
Sony has it own issues, like crossplay, but I really respect the fact that they made this project a reality.
Nah, it wasn't this kind of support that Sony has been consistently praised for this gen that led Marvel approaching Sony. It was the movie deal. Strange that all these people close to the situation are straight up lying to everyone. We need real, investigative journalism to uncover this conspiracy.
This is why exclusives can be good.
I'm convinced Spider-Man would not have exist the way it does if it were multi-platform and published by someone like Activision. For whatever reason, Sony is extremely tuned in to the blockbuster AAA 1P experience right now more than anyone else.

Now do a sequel and get it out by 2021 on PS5.
Tell Sony i want to do a sequel and make it even better. they will say go do it.

Marvel said back when the game was announced that the brand is with Sony and Insomniac for the foreseeable future. Sony obviously wasn't going to invest big into this game if it could become a huge success and then Marvel could take it and put the sequel on every other platform.
This game is a wake up call to the poisonous industry.
It is a Single Player AAAA game with no microtrasactions. It is on the way to become the highest selling game for Sony.
I don't want to hear anymore how games "need" microtransactions because gamers want them. I also no longer will hear how Single player games are dead.
I hope the industry is watching. Especially direct competition like MS.
Congrats to Sony and Insomniac.

This would require Marvel Games to start funding games themselves, which I don't believe is the current plan.
No, dude, this specific Spider-Man game could have only existed because of Sony's support. He's not saying there couldn't be a great Spider-Man game without them, just that this one necessitated them.
I swear every time I see the movie rights being brought up I just have to laugh it off and move on lol. It's been explained so many times.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, or another publisher that won't meddle with Insomniac's game design.
Especially if it's a Miles game or a Spider-Girl/Woman, since I can't see more Peter sequels working on multiplatforms with the first game being a PlayStation exclusive, unless it's a soft reboot of sorts.
Hahaha, I'd be okay with this, assuming it's BC and not a re-release :p
If those side-quests are the result of "creative freedom" then I'd have hated to see that game creatively stifled.
their support of their first party and second party studios is fantastic.
I am also glad that the studios communicate and collaborate. Sucker Punch, Guerrilla Games, Studio Japan, Insomniac, Polyphony Digital, Kojima Productions, Sony Bend, San Diego Studio, Santa Monica Studio, Naughty Dog/ What a fantastic dev / talent line up. We will see what happens with media molecule, I know PlayStation has thrown a lot of cash at their studio but they have to release some content.

I'm extremely interested to see what happens with the Avengers game with Square Enix & Crystal Dynamics. Insomniac was allowed to choose any Marvel character they wanted & they went with Spider-Man. I wonder if the same thing happened with Crystal Dynamics & why they would choose the Avengers. That has to be extremely important to them because they left Shadow of the Tomb Raider to Eidos Montreal which in turn put Deus Ex on the back-burner.
You can apply this to almost every game ever :P
This is not only because its a quality title, but also because its based on a hugely popular ip.
unfortunately, making a quality title alone doesn't guarantee sales, and you have many examples.
Agreed, then you see something like post #20. It's like you could tell someone that the sky is blue and they see it, but still tell you that it is orange because reasons.
Is it not a rumor that Iron Man and Thor would be main characters in the square enix AAA avengers game?
That would be sick.
Great video so far. You get a sense of why Sony is able to consistently put out so much quality. It seems the culture and understanding among some of its developers, studios and key people is top tier, that they really have great insight, support and push each other to be better and better. Not to mention they seemingly offer tonnes of creative freedom, which can be such an important thing.
Grats to Insomniac, Sony and Marvel on an incredible title. Already excited for the sequel lol. Now let's see if the other Marvel games can live up to this same level of quality.

I hate to say it again, but that's not exactly correct. An AAA Spider-Man game can exist without Sony's support. Marvel/Disney could literally license it out to anyone else if they want to. There are other developers capable of producing games of similar quality. What they meant is that a Spider-Man game, made by Insomniac, couldn't have existed the way it did if Sony didn't bring them on board or if they didn't give them any creative freedom. I just think it needs clarification because people keep interpreting it wrong. Too many people cite this as the reason why it's impossible for any other dev/pub to make an AAA Spider-Man game.
