He's also the one who wanted the Inhumans movie to be pretty much an I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-X-Men movie, while Kevin Feige wanted to go the Game of Thrones route. With the movie delayed (Feige has said that the delay was due to Phase 3 getting overstuffed, likely as a result of the additions of Ant-Man & the Wasp and Spider-Man: Homecoming), Feige can undo whatever X-Men-esque elements were in the film originally & move it more towards Jack Kirby's Inhumans. Despite popular belief, it's not cancelled. That's just a rumor that Bleeding Cool stirred up.

Knew what this was before I clicked it lol
Which is the reason Marvel Comics made such a huge push in the last two years on Inhumans: they need some material to draw from. The only thing note-worthy that they have to show for it is a mediocre appearance of Inhumans on Agents of Shield meant as a test-drive for the MCU and Ms. Marvel.
On a related note, a Karnak game made by Platinum would be boss.
To be fair, the movie is pretty much gonna be its own thing anyway, with its focus on the Royal Family & all.

I know this is kind of going ahead of myself, but what are the chances that both Marvel and DC could be gunning for multiverse game sagas for each of their properties? I'm really jazzed that Spider-Man is finally in the hands of a developer with a great track record. They should have done that after Shattered Dimensions flopped in a post Arkham world. So if this Spider-Man ends up being good and spawning an Arkham class franchise, could it end up being the basis for long term development of other Marvel properties? And with Rocksteady having wrapped up on their Arkham games, what are the chances they may start developing games based on other DC properties? Right now, there doesn't seem to be any comic book games that are profitable, other than fighters or Lego games.
The Arkham games are the closest we have to a potential game multiverse to be springboarded from. Another one that could have gained traction a decade ago was the less popular Ultimate XMen/Marvel Alliance series. Even though I found the execution of those games lacking, I did appreciate what they were trying to do. Did the transition to Ultimate Alliance have anything to do with Marvel's feud with Fox?
The Marvel-Fox feud didn't really start to get heated until recently, with the ban being put into effect after Contest of Champions came out (which was in mid-2015). As for a possible Marvel Game Universe, it's certainly possible, but it would kinda limit the potential for each game in terms of which characters can be used in which game (Ex: Capcom can't use Green Goblin in MvC4 because Insomniac wants to save him for their third Spider-Man game). It can really go either way.
I really wish they would make it a Netflix series or something like that. I don't want the depth of something like the Inhuman genocracy to be condensed to a two hour movie with a shallow villain. Maybe when they're done make origin stories into 19-hour tv movies, we could get something nice.
It would make for a fantastic RPG though. Just look at the Jenkins/Lee run. You can have a mute protagonist and so many interesting styles of combat involved with a long, branching story tackling stuff like Alpha-Primitives, Maximus, and the human nations.
A Netflix series would be solid, but Feige already has the Royal Family on lock-down.
Though your idea for an Inhumans game sounds godlike. I like the way you think.
On a side note, I'm absolutely in love with this shot:
The camera angle, like I'd lose my mind having a shot like this in the movie visually, let alone whilst playing a Spider-Man game.
That gif is godly.
I really hope players can really customise their moves/combos (less automated, few QTE as possible).
I think a videogame multiverse or shared universe for these properties is too much of a niche goal to try and manage. Arkham could do it only because Rocksteady has sprinkled so many easter eggs throughout the series over the past seven years. It would take massive coordination between multiple studios to get something like that going for Marvel videogames and you'd eventually end up with a mess akin to DC's current live-action movies. If not, the public might get burnt out by the superhero genre to the point that investors don't see it as worth pushing for.
PC is getting the shaft as per usual, right?

I'm SO GLAD this didn't turned out to be a Spider-Man VR game because it could have easily have been one.

Yeah, Sony is a asshole when it comes to publish their games on PC.
In that case, maybe they should just add a colon.I hope the mods never put the hyphen into the title since you guys are so anal about it >

Why, because it gives people reason to own their console, how terrible of them.
I know, I was sarcastic.

Is this thread 48 pages just over a gameplay trailer or did they show more gameplay? Impressive.

So is there any way to get rid of Perlmutter short of a heart attack
Maybe Disney gets rid of him when they realize that they loose a lot of money with his decisions.

I like seeing insomniac get this much attention
Yay, another franchise game. If it's not Batman, it's Spiderman. I grew up loving both of these characters but gosh, I'm pretty sick of seeing them.
I know neither of these two is going away anytime soon but considering how large the Marvel stable is, it sure would be nice if they focused on something else. At least pick a different Spider-man! Isn't there an alternate universe version where he's black? How about Spiderman 2099? Heck, how about Spider-Girl?

If you can't afford to keep the console after you bought it once then you probably shouldn't buy it again. Did you really think that Bloodborne would be the only exclusive on PlayStation you would want to play this generation?

Yeah; I've probably watched it about a dozen times. It's so good. I love the animation on Spidey - it looks like they've utterly nailed that already.
Yeah, the superhero genre would be as viable in gaming as it is in movies if publishers would only put the necessary budgets in, and get quality developers on board. Insomniac is a seriously good choice for this game, and after years of Activision shitting out low-quality games on a fast turnaround I'm glad to see Sony have a crack at the license.
For those wondering about the web-swinging, you can see in this gif that his web is angled left towards the buildings, suggesting that it's probably physically attached to something. I think Insomniac are going to nail this aspect, as they must know it's one of the things people love most about Spidey games.

Sorry - DP.
Really hoping this sets a new standard for Spider-Man games, like Arkham Asylum did for Batman.
Looking really promising.

That's fucking sick, man.
Disney, maybe. Don't see it happening anytime soon, though. Which really sucks. Fucking despise that asshole for what he's done to the X-Men and Fantastic Four in the comics. Although, at least Hickman managed to give them a fantastic (pun not intended but appreciated nonetheless) send-off in Secret Wars. Just gotta wait for the day they return...

I'm really glad it's an exclusive. It allows me to have so much more faith in the game, because as much faith as Insomniac is giving me, I am so much more confident that this will be a spectacular game knowing that Sony is supporting it like this.
It would be pretty strange if most Marvel console games from now on are PlayStation exclusives, though. The idea that a bunch of Sony's studios are all working on Marvel games is just... weird. I mean, I'd love that, but it would still be weird.

It's worth pointing out that they've said that there's a reason for the costume. They aren't discussing it now, but there seems to be more to it.

The gifs below could be gameplay parts of the game. In the first gif you can see a move like Batman's glide kick in the Arkham games. In the second gif, you can see that Spidey has webed the thing he throws at the bad guys. You can use the enviroment to hit your enemies, probably.

I like what I see. But that suit is sooo ugly. I hope it gets shredded and have Peter replace it with the classic one with the bug-like back logo.
I get the same warm feeling as when the Sam Raimi movies were creating hype. I guess it's the music and that beautiful rendition of New York with narration. Trailer is edited really well.
I think next years Marvel movie will be great entertainment but I think it will likely be more humor than humor/warmth (ugh) combo of the Sam Raimi movies.

Other way around. A developer interview made it sound like he's wearing this costume for a specific, likely plot-related reason. Doesn't matter, you'll be able to swap skins I'm sure. I want to wear his current Amazing Spider-Man "armor" outfit personally.
I love the idea of Activision execs looking at the reaction people are having to that trailer and being shocked. "Wait...so if we made a game that looked good, people would freak out like this to the point of even buying a console for it?" It's amazing what happens when you give a competent team enough time and resources.

the connection of the webbed item and the bad guy makes it look like gameplay.

Have Insomiac given any indication of when we will see this release? It had to be pretty far into development, Sunset Overdrive was a year ago now and a large chunk must be working on this game since. It really does look lovely though, Insomniac are a better fit for this game than Sucker Punch me thinks, also allows SP to work on a new IP which is very exciting.
