Spiderman (PS4 Exclusive) from Insomniac

It wouldn't hurt to have social / dialog trees as Peter once in a while.
Even being able to explore New York as Peter would be dope.
Hide your powers, just enjoy, go visit Mary Jane...
Make you feel like you're Spiderman and Peter.
Not a never ending fetch quest "go kill those enemies, go race against colorful circles" etc...
Would be great for pacing.

I've just realised; this is going to have Spider-sense 'detective mode' in it, isn't it?! I'm getting a bit sick of that mechanic, even though this game could implement it legitimately as it's a part of the character's history.
Lol. Was that Spider-Man 2? I always felt that was incredibly overrated, although I enjoyed the first Neversoft/Activision game on PS1.

Really happy you guys & girls at Insomniac are working on this. After the stellar job of R&C PS4 and SO I'm looking forward to more news and developments on this Spider-Man IP, I'm sure you will do it justice... How long has this been in the works approx?

My only requirements
Be able to change costume don't like the default
A hobgoblin boss battle
A scorpion boss battle

That's fine. I'm up for that. But the comparison made before was Persona, and social elements have a HUGE role in that series. It doesn't fit a character action hero game, imo.

Great news. Sunset overdrive proved that insomniac are the kings of city traversal, which would be perfect for an open world spidey game.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!

Yeah you are right and it buggs me as well, but who knows maybe they'll find a good way incorporating that mechanic or at least make it less easy and nerf it down compared to the other games.
Peter was a school teacher
I know, that's why I brought it up
Yeah, at the start of the game I kind of think i would be nice to have some choices for Spidey's suit. That way anyone who likes the new suit wins, and anyone who doesn't also wins. Plus it's not like Spidey doesn't have a bunch of suits at this point
Let me rephrase that, since apparently some people are getting offende by it. I meant it would be boring to play. I would rather watch well directed cutscenes about his regular life.

Provided they don't use videos showing him in his default suit, I hate these stuff.
Isn't he a teacher, though? I meant social stuff with other class mates like Persona.
Peter was a school teacher
I loved it when he was a teacher, it just made so much sense and actually played off the fact that Peter had a degree in science.
Honestly I would be very surprised if that's the only costume in the game as Spider-Man tend to have a bunch of costume for the players to play around with.

anyone remember the PS1 and Dreamcast Spider-Man game? hahaha that was awesome
I hope they have the same amount of unlockable costumes or DLC costumes because I am not a fan of the white spider.

He went to ESU as a student as well. That's literally right from the beginning of his fictional history 55 years ago.
It's where he met and become friends with Gwen and Harry.
Hell, he was roommates with Harry.

They're going to nail the movement in this
oooh, good catch. I actually forgot about that game for a moment, SO you kind felt like Spiderman in a way with the parkour.
Spiderman... parkour, guys I'm geeking out here.

Can a mod please put a hyphen in there
Huh, sure. I'm aware of that. But from what I understand, his university days are over in this game? They are pointing to an older Spider-Man, and I don't think they just mean "older than Ultimate universe".
They canceled that not too long ago.
I'll beg to disagree, Peter Parker is essential to Spiderman the character and if this game is going to focus on both aspects of Spidey its a given they'll have to deal with his more normal troubles. You might not like it but oh well, I love it and its sounding like a dream Spiderman game at this point.

I still don't understand where people are getting that from.
Doesn't preclude him being a long-term grad student or teacher though.

I like it, it looks great moving.
Just to be clear, they never said they are actually implementing this stuff in to the game, as far as I know, so I bet you will keep dreaming with this game if that's what you are expecting. They can explore the character with good cutscenes and a few moments of playing Peter Parker. It's very different to implement a social structure akin to Persona, considering social elements are the bulk of Persona games. No, I don't want the bulk of a Spider-Man game to be about socializing and doing chores. To each their own, I guess.
I don't mind the costume but I think it needs a tweak or two. The emblems on the front and back could be shrunk a little, and maybe put a black border around the emblems too.
^ Surprised it hasn't been fixed.

Loving the suit and everything else that was shown. Having Mister Negative as a villain is a amazing idea too and am even more curious to know what else is in store. Game is in great hands.
And what was shown was in real time? As in what we'll be playing will look the same? That can't be true.. It's too good to be true.

Well they said the game focuses on Peter as much as Spiderman so I'll take that as a word that its not going to just be web slinging. You might find it boring but I think incoporating Peter Parker into things could be quite fun if done well. Perhaps you have to take pictures of yourself as Spiderman during battles and then sell those off to JJJ but you have to haggle with him to get the best price but of course too much and you get jack shit. Its all speculation but if Bully can make a great game out of a school then I think the same could be applied to something like Spiderman.

Peter's social life shouldnt be ignored. It doesnt have to be a dating game like persona, but it just wouldnt be spider-man if you werent weighed down by responsibilities. If I'm not having to decide between patrolling for crooks, hanging out with harry, or risking asking a girl on a date, it ain't spider-man.
Knowing Insomniac, they'll have a bunch of crazy web shooter modifications. Like grapple webs, impact webs, shock webs, and whatever shot they can come up with. I trust Insomniac 100% with this title. Those folks are insanely talented, and know how to deliver fun games. Definitely my game of the show, and there were a LOT of incredible looking games. I'm still hoping I'll be able to make it to the show floor this week.
