I think it's a very different situation. But if people want to get their hopes up, that's cool.

A Sucker Punch developed Spider-Man game would be a day 1 purchase.
Because a SM game would make way more money.
Hiiiiighly doubt Sucker Punch is doing this. I wouldn't even put any stock in that.
That said yes, give me spidey with awesome swing controls, fluid combat and proper stealth missions.
Also integrate those 3 together in a seamless way. I want to be able to employ hit and run tactics by zipping around in my webs, punching fools. I want to get overwhelmed and immediately find a place to hide, preferring to take out foes one by one now that I know I'm being overpowered. I want to quickly run away from a situation and think from a safe distance my next move.
I feel like the core of spideys skillset would be action, stealth and webswinging and marrying those 3 together where you can seamlessly move between any of the 3 would make for the most compelling Spidey game yet.

I'm betting on VR. Activision still has right don't they?
Fucking thank you. Web of Shadows is the 3rd best Spidey game.

I get that but... You're missing my point. They don't fund games that they don't control the IP for.

They have literally made tie-ins for every Spider-Man film...
They do, and it's different since Sunset Overdrive was a brand-new IP, rather than an existing one.
Two. Two amazing PS1 games.

Not sure how I feel about Sucker Punch being thrown around as the goto developer for Spidey games. I do agree, inFAMOUS 2nd Son was good in terms of gameplay but the rest was pretty ... boring. The story was okay but the side quests were boring and the map looked nice but every 2nd block looked the same. They'd have to step up their game tenfold if they want to have a good open world environment.
Disney/Marvel owns the Spidey IP for games. Activision has a contract with Sony Pictures that allows them to do movie tie-ins through 2017. The last studio that did Spidey games (Beenox) confirmed they are no longer working on any Spidey titles so could be that Activision called it a day early.

But, they kinda do.
Are you forgetting Street Fighter V?

I think it was an Activision exclusive.
Activision only holds the movie game license, and there's no way Disney would allow something meant to promote an upcoming movie to be platform restricted, there's little benefit for them.

Destiny x Green Lantern Corps......Take my Money!
Create your character as a member of the corp. The ghost can be Kilowog or what ever senior Green Lantern instructor. The evil is a spreading Parallax. Fly around the universe and keep it safe. Use your imagination and it could work?
Relax dude it is not set in stone that is what they do. Maybe spiderman which is a known quantity is worth it for them to not worry about owning the ip.

Well, the rumor claims that Sony is working on it rather than it being a PS4 exclusive. It's one thing for it to be exclusive while another non-Sony studios developers it, and it's another for it to be handled by a Sony studio. It would be a waste for Sony to put one of their own studios on a licensed game.

They will make deals with third-parties, games like Street Fighter V and Haze have happened where they think it will fill a gap.
IP ownership seems to be when they fully fund a first-party game, I doubt Sony paid for all of the development of either of those above (or a Spiderman game) which is where the difference is.
Probably be next to impossible to wrestle the Street Fighter V IP off Capcom

Eh, I would use Infamous and Infamous 2 as a representation of what they can do. Second Son seemed rushed.

lol it won't be Sucker Punch. inFAMOUS 3 next, then new IP. Next. Besides they don't have the rights, Activi$ion does.

I wonder if the game will use the PS3 font
I'd vomit.
Literally vomit as in the momentum feel of swinging would make me throw up.
Would still play it.

Oh god this better be true. I need a next-gen Spiderman that lets me swing around the city.
There are several great Spiderman games; The two PS1/Dreamcast games, that GBC port basd on the PS1 game, Spiderman 2, and Ultimate Spiderman

All this "activision has the rights still"
Where are you guys in the "Crashbandicoot" threads?

I mean, that's a pretty different situation. Activision owns Crash outright. Activision has a very specific license to Spidey now, specifically the movie games, which is why for instance, when a shitload of Marvel games got removed from digital stores a couple years ago, the only Activision ones that stayed up were The Amazing ones.
At this point Spidey-movie license is the only one that hasn't reverted back to Marvel's full control by now. They changed policies pretty heavily when they got bought by Disney.

Thanks but no thanks. Im gon wait for that Spider-Gwen game from Platinum.
As far as Crash I think that is real and will be at E3

Wasn't Marvel saying there were some unannounced triple a projects for their properties a while back? I'd be fucking down for a SP spiderman game.

And it had the best combat in any Spidey game. Gimmie that or the SM2 swinging and it's a Day 0 purchase.
