I think this is huge for Insomniac. I know they can deliver and a AAA Spiderman game of this quality should do very well in sales.
Yes! I'd love another Resistance on PS4!

That would instantly make it the best game ever.
Would be amazing to go through the realistic looking world playing as lil Peter Porker.

Dream come true watching the reveal. Insomniac, one of my favourite developers since I was a kid, working on a legitimate open world Spider-Man game.
I may buy 3 copies

Looks carazy... and I know there'll be a bunch of Spiderman costume skins, so me not liking the actual costume is not a problem.

Do we know which team is working on this? The SO team I assume?
IIRC on the Geoff/YouTube stream they said it was the biggest team Insomniac has ever had, so maybe the main Sunset Overdrive team and the R&C guys joined after that project. I assume its all hands on deck.

All of Insomniac deserves respect for this.
They're one passionate, talented and hard working studio. The potential to deliver a worthy Spiderman game seems possible now.
That would be great. Insomniac should've trusted their gut instinct and built on the original formula they had in R:FOM.
Given how DOOM is making old school formulas relevant again, it would give them a good argument to pursue that direction.

Was literally just about to make this post. Suits been growing on me, only thing I dislike is the white Spider. Clashes too much with the rest of the costume.
Damn.
In a conference with God of War 4, this was still the most impressive thing to me (next to Resident Evil 7, but that's for other reasons, since i'm a RE&Silent Hill fan).
Congrats, this looks absolutely amazing.

Gotta say the suit is growing on me.
The more I am seeing, the more I am liking it.
This was the game that blew me away the most. I have been waiting years for them to stop making garbage cash grab Spider-man games and actually try and make a proper Spider-man simulator in the ways the Arkham series nails Batman.
Insomniac are a great fit for Spidey and I'd bet my house they'll nail his combat, agility and swinging. As long as they use Spider-man 2 for a base but add some nice modern psychics and heft then I'll be totally happy.
Only complaint is that I'm not a fan of the suit (I do love the eyes) but there'll probably be a million unlockables or DLC costumes so its not really a big deal.
I'm not one to get super emotional over announcements but goddamn man...goddamn.

Can you imagine if Sucker Punch was also hard at work on a different Marvel IP.
The systems in Infamous are maybe closer to Iron Man...

Give Iron Man to From. Imagine the building aspect of Armored Core in an IM game...
Ooh, yeah. Would be alright, what with all the third-person shooting.
Shit, it would be awesome if in Gamescom, they reveal that Sucker Punch is working on a Marvel game as well. We'd be entering a golden age of Marvel games.

Waaay closer.
Iron Man using his thrusters to keep him flying could look very similar to this. I would absolutely love Sucker Punch going for a Iron Man game.

This. There are many Spider-Man games but they are half-assed done, you could see the potential but it was just shipped as it is to make it in time for the movie or the deadline by activision.
It's not the Golden Age of Marvel Games until we get a Marvel fighting game from Capcom.
thanks for this. you can definitely tell its in-game at high quality. it looks great

It sucks because I'm sure Insomnaic wants to be able to work on a wide range of properties, both old and new.
But god damn if there aren't so many different superheroes that I'd want them to tackle.

this is my only worry at this point, I hope they aren't pressured to release around the same time as the movie

Hmm, very interesting, thank you.
Not going to lie, that would be bit disappointing but at this point I just want a good Spider-Man game and with this team on it I can't be mad at all.
I think it's smart. If this becomes a tentpole franchise going forward, it'll be iconic for said series.
Yes. Exactly. I think Insomniac can do it.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
This was the best game announcement at E3 by far !

Why are people questioning this? It's clearly real time. Heck, it doesn't even look as good as some of the games released this year already.

He works for Insomniac. He should know
cool deal, you guys are killing it. I shouldn't doubt the skills after the pixar like quality of ratchet and clank ps4.

We were so hyped when this popped up. Marvel's biggest gap has been a lack of compelling games. I hope this is the Arkham moment and we see more.

It's probably on purpose as a visual que for the player. Considering the action will probably be super fast paced, it's good to have a big white symbol that says "look at me".
It's also on the front and the back of the suit, so I'm pretty sure that's why, but it's mainly a guess at this point.

Talk about hard-working!? Most developers have done maybe one game on next-gen and are working up to a second (some Sony studios have unfortunately not even gotten to ship their first PS4 game,) but Insomniac has done Sunset Overdrive, Ratchet and Clank remake, a handful of VR games, they have Song of the Deep that they're doing kind of for fun and love, and now they're doing something as huge as Spider-Man. (And it's not like they ever took any time off; Insomniac put together Fuse and R&C Into the Nexus while many other studios were powering down to focus on next-gen development processes.) I'm not sure if Insomniac still has multiple offices, but no matter how many shops they have, the output from this group is beyond belief.
Spider-Man will certainly be a challenge on a new level, so I hope Sony gives them the time to make this awesome, but I don't doubt that this crew is up to the challenge, and the trailer so far points to all good things.
I want more flash. more pizzazz. more color (other than spidey's suit). the city just looks kind of drab.
From this GIF they gotta fix up the animation transition for the web as well. Everything about the web gotta be silky!
