Incoming announcement from Microsoft.
"We would like to indroduce to guys to assemble games. They will be making avengers for the next 10 years"
And I wouldn't even care
So if I had a ton of cash and the means to make another Spider-Man action console game, they'd be down with that? (I'm just trying to understand how that works.)
Yeah, I know that. I guess I'm just going based off of rumors & hearsay.
Yes, it is time. Don't think I played any of the ones on PS3.

Where does Activision stand? Do they have any licenses left or did everything revert back to Marvel.
This makes me really happy. How many licensed movie tie-in games did we get that wer ok at best.
Dude they keep doing this and they wonder why the comic sales for these characters are going to shit. Their not getting xmen back, they should just accept that and use them for games and merchandise. They would make so much more money from those.
Missed these games. I was too young in that era
If you ever went back and played something like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro was the other big thing at that point - at least for my group of toddlers.
Holy shit, ice cold.
I hope Marvel consider hiring Guerrilla making Guardians Of The Galaxy rpg game now that they have the capability for it from making Horizon.
Marvel should just hurry up and buy Insomniac - I can see that being a potential thing. Theyll be the developmental arm while Marvel can organise publishing deals as per whatever works for them.
And to the people surprised about the Sony exclusive, you do realise that could have been something since 2002, its just that Sony Pictures decided to sell the game license rather than keep it within Sony because of how independent they are.

I think this quote will help explain it:
For the foreseeable future, if you want a AAA Spider-Man console game (as opposed to a casual/family or mobile game), your option is going to be Sony and Insomniac on PS4.

I still can't fucking believe that
Your #1 stunner not only wants to be in the film, but is happy to have his role expanded beyond the extended cameo that it was
And your response is to try and stop him!
Yup. His merchandise sells more than Batman, Superman, & the entire Marvel Universe combined.

The day we get a Black Panther game is the day pigs start flying.
I'm not sure if there's a correlation between the ban & their comic book sales (unless there's a boycott that I'm not aware of), but I do agree that Marvel needs to stop being babies & accept that they won't get the X-Men back.

Platform exclusive IPs is one thing, Hijacking an icon like Spidey is wankiness of the highest order.

Such an idea may not work for stuff like fighting games, considering that they may not be allowed to use a certain character due to someone else wanting to introduce that character in their own game. It may be fine to roll with in movies, but it's just a giant mess waiting to happen for video games.
Okay. That makes sense. Still kind of a bummer.

Lol, I want this happen
They don't need to keep making Spider-man games, Insomniac seems to be able to work multiple projects at once and still be quality, consistent releases. They've pretty much released a AA/AAA title every year since 2002. I don't think them being tied to Spider-man is gonna hinder them.

Marvel saying all the right things here.
It will be great to see how these all turn out over the next 10 years. I hope to one day get a great X-men game but I doubt this will ever happen. The movies have always been ok (FC and DoFP have been top tier) but generally would be nice to see something closer to the 90's cartoon I grew up with.
Even thought they won't be making tie-in films, it's more likely that they will be using characters who have become popular from MCU though, so characters from Avengers could all get games or cross over into each other's games.

The Spider-Man game is it.
Nice! I want that...
Daredevil by Insomniac Games. (Acrobatic character, Open-world, could even cross-over in their Spider-Man game)
Iron Man by Sucker Punch.
Black Panther by Sony Santa Monica.
Captain America by Omega Force. (By limiting the amount of enemies on-screen and making them tougher+smarter. The mission-based structure of their game would be a perfect fit.)

This sounds good and all, but I will remain skeptical about this whole situation until they can back up with this talk with good games.
Tbh, that Captain America game wasn't even that bad for a movie tie-in. The sound effect when you hit dudes with your shield was super satisfying.
Activision sold the IPs back early for everything but Spider-Man film tie-in games, and it's plausible they sold those back as well.
There was some kind of deal later to let them put up their legacy titles.
That said, they say that Activision is out of the picture for Spider-Man specifically, so it's not impossible they're making some other game, but it's not clear to me who would actually be doing so for them.
I thought the license expired back in 2014 & Activision just didn't bother to renew (much like how Capcom didn't renew their respective MvC licenses)?

Interesting that Activision are completely out of the window now regarding Spider-Man. I imagine these chess pieces must have been moved around as part of the Spider-Man entering MCU deal inked between Sony and Marvel. Maybe Activision were happy to give up their license early in exchange for marketing support from Sony with COD/Destiny.

You probably said that about the movie 2 years ago.

So Marvel Super Heroes 2 (made by Capcom, of course)? NRS already has DC Comics to work with, & their games don't last very long in the FGC anyway/
Only if it makes sense, for example if the Crackdown devs actually deliver on what they're promising with Crackdown 3, then that would make a fucking awesome Hulk game.
Nintendo...I got nothing, Hawkeye's crossbow training? ¯\_(ツ
