Except it isn't DLC

Sony have said this, you know this. Keep spreading bullshit like Nutella on toast though

No I didn't know that but thanks for assuming. Everything I have read said it is not a full game, it is a spinoff of the recent Sony Spiderman game. If it a full game then the hype is legitimate. Wouldn't be the first time I made an ill-informed post believe me lol

Then I apologise for assuming.

But yeah, there are a lot of people saying it's DLC because it's a spiderman game set in new york. It's a full-fledged game.

Cyberpunk, COD, Avengers, Spider-Man, and Mario remakes will generate the most buzz this Christmas season.

I think the Spider-Man hype will taper off in 21 with it not being a full sequel and most users not making the leap to next gen imediately. One of the misfortunes of being an early gen singleplayer title.

Avengers is going to be interesting. With it being a title similar to Destiny/Division will it have legs? I'm unconvinced. I think it'll be neat and Marvel is seemingly unstoppable but I'm not sure how it will resonate with the mass market long term. Will be interesting to watch.

As far as this thread's inevitable turn to the console war goes, the headline makes sense. Right now all of Xbox's AAA first party titles are a ways out. Sony has a smaller Spider-Man ready to go. There isn't a lot to debate here. To me, neither console is coming into this gen at full strength. A full Spider-Man sequel and a good no-kidding Halo game would make this an interesting launch. Console launch line ups the past two gens have not been what they once were. I've assumed that Horizon was intended to be a Spring 21 title and God of War a Fall 21 title which would be fantastic for Sony but I am not sure how working remotely might have changed that. Sony seems like they'll put out some big titles in the 2 years after launch.

And for what it's worth, I am not sure what people expect from Xbox first party. Most studios were acquired so recently that their games aren't going to be ready to roll for a little while. That isn't to say "lol Xbox has no games", but that we are going to see more output in 2022 or so. With the move to a platform model, the console race has turned into a marathon vs a sprint (now an uphill one without Halo). I think there is good reason to be excited about a number of Xbox first party studios, particularly Obsidian and Playground. Hopefully studios like inXile can scale and they continue to acquire larger studios. The areas that I think merit the most concern are the future of Halo and Gears. Xbox has their work cut out for them-they need to continue to invest in first party studios and get aggressive w/ third party deals.

Yep its Miles is story as he gets a grip of his powers so in spiderman 2 we dont have to deal with that bullshit which is genius by them to take a liveable character, make his own game and get his "year one" out of the way for the eventual spiderman 2 sequel

That is awesome, I almost bought another PS4 just for Spiderman but decided against it. It looks like an amazing game.

It's like Uncharted Lost Legacy. Not enough (new) for a real successor, but too much for a DLC. I think Standalone Expansion ist the best term for it.

Seeing this add makes me curious to see how XBOX position the Series X in their TV advertising. I know the production value will be off the charts, visually. But without those big third party games XBOX has traditonally been able to rely upon and with Halo out the picture...

I'm curious to see the advertising pitch.

Global measurement and analytics firm Nielsen said in a report today that the most anticipated games of the year are Marvel’s Avengers, Call of Duty: Black Ops — Cold War, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

Other notable multi-platform releases include Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, FIFA 21, NBA 2K21, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, Star Wars: Squadrons, and Planet Coaster: Console Edition

Will these be on Game Pass? They'd be perfect for a pandemic.

Not for me, cyberpunk 2077 all day, every day.

I've played call of duty games and I've played this spiderman game but with Peter Parker so I want something completely new.

says GAF is a racist board but still wants to be a part of it...
I'm surprised to see Avengers there with all the vitriol toward the game.

It's on the list, but not in the top 3.

I am surprised to see Cyberpunk not rating higher, but in fairness, it is one of the only new IPs in the list (yes I know it's a pen and paper game if you want to bust chops, but it's not a media franchise). I think in the end Cyberpunk will outsell almost all of these over it's lifetime though. Maybe not in the first year but CDPR games have long lives.
