I am.
I like closeups and such during gameplay so long as control isn't sacrificed. I just want to know what's going on during some of these sequences.
I don't want just a pulled back camera until a cool sequence pops up and then it become almost non-interactive.
I think playing the older spidey games is harming my hype lol.
Edit: while fun at the time, they lack that oomph of being Spider-man because the camera is so far back and it's so loose.

Other Insomniac games like Ratchet and Sunset Overdrive may be an indication of he type of control that you'll have. They try to keep you in control of all the cool stuff.

I'm more worried about the character designs. I hope they don't go the route of trying to make villains somewhat realistic(think goblin armor in spidey 1) instead of a comic style

Same haha
It's Insomniac, so I wouldn't worry about them going for a realistic approach to the character designs. I'm sure they'll stick closely to the comic book designs, especially since they're working so closely with Marvel Games.

Thirded. It's just so good.
On the topic of past Spidey games, how on earth were both the film and game versions of Spidey 3 such a massive disappointment? I simply don't get it, with Spider-Man 2 being so well-received and acclaimed.
It's like if after Arkham Asylum came out WB had assigned a far inferior studio to make City. I know they had movie deadlines to work to (which is probably the answer to the conundrum really), but I just can't believe they screwed it up that bad. Game Grumps did a play through, and the combat just looks gross, even for 2007.

Voice from the trailer makes it seem like it's adult Spidey right? Or am I imagining things?

You are not. We're getting a veteran Spidey voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.

Aiming for realistic faces and animations if the pedestrians are anything to go by.

If this does well I can see them being a Spiderman/Marvel Sony dev for the forseeable future.

I'm sure this will be a long-term partnership between the two, but I wouldn't write off work outside the franchise. Insomniac has become a pretty big studio - releasing multiple VR games this year, on top of the Ratchet & Clank remaster. Plus assistance with the film, and pre-pro on this project.
It's not impossible to see a world where they handle Spiderman AND another R&C, or even a Sunset Overdrive sequel.

Well at the moment, this is their biggest project to date and most of people in insomniac is working on spiderman.
Maybe they will expand again if the game is a success

I feel if Sunset Overdrive was going to get a sequel they probably would have started work on it. This is the far more attractive offer.

I friggin love this suit. I'm also using that image as a phone background and I can't stop admiring it.
This will have open world swinging, yes?

Hope so. I just thought I heard in a interview somewhere that they were taking their own spin on designs
Probably in the same way that their Spider-Man design is unique and their own, yet somehow still faithful to the source material.

It only just occurred to me how strange a choice Yuri Lowenthal is. I mean, nothing against him, although he always sounds almost exactly the same, but it's weird to think that they're making this a franchise and they went with him. They could have taken an iconic Spider-Man voice or at least someone who's not so... well, like I said, someone who sounds almost always the same in everything he does.

I think Insomniac can juggle Spiderman and Ratchet and Clank. They'll also have other work on the side.
This deal does work out great for Insomniac though. At the very least, they'll have Spider-Man to work on in the foreseeable future. They won't have to worry about finding lots of work with that IP in their stable.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
The white isn't terrible but the shit on his arms is ghastly.
In some of these shots people are posting, 4th of July Spider-Man is neat, but then the arms/hands... gross. Reminds me of the worst comic book stuff from the 90's.

Loving every bit of that suit the more I see it. Don't get the complaints about the white logo etc... it looks really good IMO.

When is this game targeted for release? It has 12/26/17 on the Gamestop website.... that is over a year away.
no hint of a release date yet
At a glance, I only see Captain Britain.
That's what I don't like about the design. It looks like the U.K. flag.
that is the million dollar question! we know Insomniac is working on this for around a year and half and it is supposedly the biggest team they have ever had on for a project. marvel has said the game is not tied to the movie and the team is under no pressure to release it around the movie. my guess is that the target is holiday 2017 to maximize sales potential a few months after movie release alongside bluray release but it could get pushed back to early 2018 if needed
Well we got 2 facts to take into account regarding this matter...
1st: Marvel said officially that this new one and the future Spider-man games are exclusive to Playstation.
2nd: This game is published by Playstation/SIE. Don't expect this game on any other platform.
It's funny when people ask for certain cameos... Don't expect an inFamous cameo as the series had its early comic book(s) published by DC comics.
How the lack of a PC version is disappointing? The fact that Disney (which includes also Marvel) is not publishing consoles (and PC) games anymore and that they decided to license their IPs and franchises instead should have given a better idea of what to expect. Also, don't forget that this Spider-man game is published by SIE/Playstation. It should have been obvious with this too that there wouldn't be a PC version with the game being published by them.
You're crazy man, it looks so freakin awesome.

I have to imagine we'd be able to unlock various incarnations of Spidey's suit. It would be fun if we could choose between various comic book versions, as well as the three movie versions (Maquire, Garfield, and Holland). Insomniac always has multitudes of unlockables.
And don't forget that Sony had the movie rights to Spider-Man. They struck that deal with Marvel to bring Spider-Man into the MCU fold. Some speculate this was part of the negotiations. However, I think overall Sony and Disney in the last few years have had a tightening relationship, at least in regards to video games. So many of the Disney owned LucasArts games have been console exclusive to PlayStation (Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, etc.). And then there is all the Star Wars content.

If you had or were able to read past the word "disappointing", you'd see that I explained why.

if all else fails they could just add alt costumes you could choose from like the arkham games do to please people who like the costume and the others that dont

Do you think we have a chance to have something during the San Diego Comic-Con? Really want to know/see more about the game.

I'd lose all respect. Stick by your vision and design insomniac.
Edit:there will definitely be costume skins as well
Hopefully they're available from the outset because as is... oof.
You gotta understand he's a veteran, he's no rookie in this game so maybe he uses that white "shit" on his arms to protect him more? like when he's in full swing and lands on a building. He learned from his mistakes in the past and uses more stuff now to protect himself.
