It's entirely possible that this game came about as part of their negotiations with Disney over the movies.

Game of the show. Incredible announcement
I would not be surprised by this.
I think this came about by Sony saying to Marvel "let us make your AAA Marvel games, starting with Spider-Man to prove you can make great games with those characters"

This looks great. Suit's different but fine. I wish there'd be a date though, without it I'm sort of expecting 2018ish.
Also I'm having trouble imagining that this is native PS4 footage and not a Neo slice.
Jobbs I'm pretty sure it's a Spidey voice we had before, seemed awfully familiar to me.

That.. actually makes a lot of sense.

Are you me
I love the flips. Completely unnecessary but just awesome looking.
Insomniac + Spider-Man is a perfect match.
Sony has the movie rights to Spider-Man due to a deal made in the '90s when Marvel was struggling that basically says that as long as Sony continues to make Spider-Man movies, they will retain the license. Disney/Marvel still has the rights to everything else. Comics (obviously), cartoons, toys, etc. They have the rights to Spider-Man games, and they can license that out as they see fit.
Activision used to have the game license to Spider-Man, but I guess now Sony does. Speculation is that the game license went to Sony as part of the deal between Marvel and Sony to get Spider-Man in the MCU and creative control over Spider-Man back to Marvel, but we'll probably never know if that's true or not.

Bad dog. Bad dog. No treat for you.
Game looks amazing and the costume is linked to the story

Probably my favourite reveal. The first ASM game was good but it's so long since a great Spider-Man game. Hopefully Insomniac can pull it off.
My favorite reveal of E3 easily. I was always hoping for an "Arkham" level of quality in a Spider-Man game and this looks like we might finally get it!
I think the suit has grown a lot on me since I saw the trailer. The white on him is an unexpected pick but I think it really stands out and doesn't clash with the other colors. The only part of the design I'm not too fond of is the likeness to the ASM1 costume.

Holy shit, the suit is hideous.
Apart from that, bring it on!

I hope there's a black suit variant... I hope so much that I made this:
I actually don't hate the main suit, but it might look better if it was just like the new MCU suit really. I don't mind them doing something unique like this though, especially with the bigger spider logo, it kind of differentiates its self from that universe which is cool.

I hope the game is as good as the trailer looks, because that was awesome.
Looks like of of the main bosses will be negative man, I love his style so that's awesome. Costume is cool as well.
It'd be nice if it came to the PC, I don't plan on upgrading my ps4 to the neo because fuck that, though if the game is anywhere near as amazing as I hope it'll be i'd be tempted.

Day fucking zero. Hell, give me Spiderman 2's webslinging mechanics with current gen gfx and I'm sold.
Suit is awesome
Yes, which is probably still my favorite xb1 game which makes me more excited for this
Any comic book connoisseurs around here?
I read that some Spider-man fans are saying that the goons that appear on the video are similar to the henchmen of Mr. Negative.
I wonder if he will be one of the villains. He never appeared in a Spidey game before, right?
He hasn't shown up but Anti-Venom (who he sorta created) was in Edge of time.
Spider-Man is my all-time favourite character, so I was looking forward to the announcement, but goddamn, that is one ugly suit. Aside from that, it's also worrying me that the animations look so much like Beenox's The Amazing Spider-Man games... but I have faith in Insomniac, Marvel Games, and Sony. So let's do this.
Worth noting, though, I'm pretty sure those are Mr. Negative's Inner Demons we see Spidey fighting, such as in that truck.
Also, that's Yuri Lowenthal voicing Spidey, right?

For the 2 cents my opinion is worth, I like it too.

Not sure why theres such a vocal outcry about the suit. Like its not that bad.
Its reallly good
Speaking of Activision, do they have any marvel licenses left? I know that most of the marvel console games (x-men, spider-man) were published (and owned? ) by Activision but it's been a while since the last one came out. It would be cool if Sony and maybe other studios would do marvel games.
Come on now, every Spidey game has unlockable costumes and the black suit is like the no. 1 alternative suit.
Very curious if this will be a QTE type section or if it is something that just dynamically happens if you decide to run through that building? Either way, very excited from what we saw!

I don't like it, I love it! Would be better with black edges on the white logos but I'm already a fan.

Cautiously optimistic that the web-swing traversal will be nearly as good as it was twelve years ago in Spider-Man 2. I dare not dream of it being better.
Allowing us to tactically set up a camera with a remote shutter and take pictures of ourselves in combat that we can edit and give to the Bugle to help fund upgrades etc is what I want.
I have no doubt there will be MANY suit variations.
