The thing is, I don't think I'd trust any third party publisher to do it properly. EA and Activision are a huge no, and Ubisoft would probably shit it up with their trademark padding and mechanics. Maybe someone like Bethesda or Warner, although the latter wouldn't happen for obvious reasons.
I'd like 4-5 villains at most, if they're done right and each get a chance to shine. And maybe Black Cat showing up to give Spidey a bit of support.
He should also have plenty of opportunity to fight normal grunts too, and I'd like random things to happen in the city like bank robberies, muggings, etc which Spidey can go and help with. They need a good amount of variety though to ensure any such side-missions don't get repetitive.

Even in Spider-Man 1/2, the various subplots and characters and how they intermingle with Peter Parker's life is what makes them work.
If you just have Spider-Man doing in-costume stuff, you're missing the most important part of the character.
Its different from someone like Batman where "Bruce Wayne" is basically a persona he made up in the public eye and all his real friends/supporting cast(Gordon, Barbara, Dick, Tim, Alfred, Selena) know him as Batman. Peter's relationship with Aunt May, Jonah Jameson, Robbie, Betty Brant, etc is not the same as Spider-Man's relationship with them. Thats why they're are plenty of Batman stories where he's never out of costume, where its rare for the same thing to happen with Spider-Man.
Especially after this E3.

I don't need this to be filled with cameos and shit but I hope they are at least acknowledging he Avengers and other heroes in this world.
I want this to be a fully realized and lived-in Marvel universe, separated from the MCU and studio baggage. I want this to be part of a wider series of games that can include Avengers, Guardians, X-Men and FF, and characters who could possibly interact with Spidey in his game like Daredevil and Wolverine.

There was the LEGO: Marvel Super Heros PS3 game and the Sony owned Spider-Man movie releasing next year. Such a smart move to release a video game either right before or right after the movie release

Couldn't the game do to have only one villain throughout the game?
I don't know I'd love to see characters like the Shocker running around causing mayhem. Hopefully Electro's teeth are good in this one.

If they want to incorporate Peter Parker in this and make his role big, they could add stuff like
- racing to an appointment he has (but comes in late anyway),
- some sort of dialogue system ala mass effect/witcher where you can talk with other people to gain information or just for fun,
- investigate a case (tracking somebody down),
- adding mini-games i.e. developing new webbing or even suits etc.
- ...
I haven't played all spidey games, but most of them were kinda generic with no good engaging story or characters.
Lost balloons.

I can gaurentee you the X-Men, mutants, and FF will not be in this game. Disney is still overseeing this which means they will bring the studio baggage. It's just business.
ahhhhh crap, I'm an idiot XD I get them confused with each other all the time, despite recentlying playing my first Insomniac game (R+C). Anyone else have this problem?
This kills my enthusiasm somewhat, tbh.

Homage missions from Spderman 2 where you had a limited amount of time to rescue some putz that was hanging from a building. Every time I failed one of these, I would justify as "well, he was an evil man".
How can anyone still not differntiate sth. between cgi and realtime?
No gaming company is equipped to make a BP game, the research phase alone would force them to confront some hard truths
Is this confirmed to be an MCU game or anything?
Is that what it's called now?
Jokes aside, a game where the focus is on Pete and not the super-villains like in the Spiderman 2 movie would be really interesting. I doubt that's gonna happen though.
Yep, I feel the same. The suit is great and it being new adds to the wow factor.

Spider-Man has such a fantastic lore. If Insomniac handles him right (I'm sure they will) then the game is gonna be awesome.

You can tell. All the enemies have that black mask. Big guy who breaks through the doors is the same guy he throws that same massive door at in a quick shot near the end. The vehicles all have the same enemies too. So unless this one gang or whoever they are is the entire main villain (which I doubt) I think we are seeing a full mission here.
Spider-Man trying to get to robbery or whatever it is where the black mask guys are. Enemies bust down the doors and fights them. Then vehicle chase out of there. That part where he is running through the cafe is likely during the chase. Seems like they didn't want to reveal the big villains yet and opted for what very well could be a basic open world side mission with generic enemies to not spoil stuff yet.
That was BP in a game, not a game about BP

Does it matter if I'm a fan? The game is supposed to be fun to everybody. No, I'm not a diehard fan, but I've bought plenty of comics and I do like the character a lot. I like Peter Parker, I just don't think playing his life/chores would be very fun. I would rather have well directed cutscenes. I don't think Persona social stuff would fit in action super hero games, regardless if I'm a fan or not.
Besides, this is an older Peter Parker, so no classes and stuff.

Makes perfect sense for Sony, not for Disney/Marvel. Assuming sales are similar to the last Batman (~5M) and assuming 60% are on PS4, why would Disney/Marvel leave money on the table by not getting royalties on ~2M unites sold? That also has a domino effect as less kids play the spidey game, which is something they would want.
Marvel could have a contract with Acti, EA, SE, Ubi, T2, etc and they can be very specific that the developer and budget must be agreed upon or the contract is void etc etc. This is not 90s Marvel, their contract would be iron clad.
Brain damage huh? Keep it classy bud. You are very naive to think that CW is gonna make ~1.2B thanks to Spiderman. It was gonna be high regardless, and when they added Ironman and RDJ, we all knew it was gonna be over 1B. CW did more for restoring the faith in Spiderman movies than Spiderman did in boosting the MCU.
As I said above, Marvel/Disney would probably be passing on licensing fees on 2M+ units between Xbone and PC, not something in their best interest.
I will enlighten you about what is publicly known about the Sony-Disney Spiderman deal as you seem to be ignorant about it.
This is what we know for certain:
- Marvel can use Spiderman in the MCU
- Other MCU characters can appear in the Spiderman solo
- Sony is the distributor for Homecoming and retains all previous SM movie rights they had
- Feige and his team are actually producing the movie, free of charge (possibly only getting a contract pay)
This is what's rumored:
- 3 year deal or 3 picture deal where spiderman can appear in the MCU
Deal seems very one sided, in Sony's favor.
Sony gets:
- Spiderman rebooted, made relevant again (I personally think it can do close or over 1B WW) and - if the rumor is true - in 3 years or 3 movies, Sony can take full control of the character again
- Ironman and one of the hottest actors reprising his most famous role in the Spiderman movie
- Kevin Feige and his team doing the work, at no extra cost
- Other MCU characters in the spiderman movies, free of royalty charge
- Apparently spiderman (and other Marvel characters) for games. This is very beneficial to Sony, and if you remember Kaz Hirai has mentioned that VGs is one of the 3 sony pillars, so one can easily assume VGs is more important to Sony than movies
Marvel gets:
- Spiderman in the MCU
As shown by a graph on this very thread, Spiderman merchandise was selling regardless. At the point the deal was made, Sony was hurting, just got hacked, things were in disarray. Marvel was booming, and they didn't really need spiderman to be honest, so why would they give so much for so little in return?
We know Marvel/Disney won't get a cent from the BO profits (and I think the home distribution too? Not sure about this one, but for sure not from the theatrical run). As a matter of fact, Disney pays Sony a fee from the BO gross for spiderman solo movies (This was part of the merchandise buyout deal).
I think there's more to this deal than meets the eye. 2016 Marvel, and especially Disney, wouldn't give up all that if there wasn't more to it. They probably negotiated to remove the fee Disney has to pay, and are probably positioning themselves to reacquire all spiderman rights from Sony. The rumored 3 picture/3 year deal is kinda weird, I don't think Marvel would do that and would want the deal to only break if they decided to break it. Sony will want spiderman to keep going, i.e., assuming the trilogy for spiderman takes 6-7 years, if Marvel takes as long a break between Spiderman 3 and 4 like they are doing for Ironman and most likely for Captain America, then the rights would reverse back (A spiderman must start production every 3 years, or 5 years if at the end of a trilogy that happened in an 8 year period).
Someone mentioned the PR specifically says games, not game.
This is what I think as well. This, and possibly other games, are part of the deal from last February.
