Bruuh shit will leak hard, the Hacker put over 1.6tb of data for free.

 

[Z O N E]

Too much Marvel for me.

They'll probably do the same/similar gameplay to Spiderman/Batman games and that alone will get boring so quick.

Insomniac have a lot of good talent but seem to be relegated to being a Marvel pump and dump.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Someone on reddit is claiming to attempt to get the alleged PC build (Wolverine) for the game out to the public in a few hours.

I wish I had a shocked Pikachu face right now.

Holy shit that's bad.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Anyone who was expecting Wolverine in 2024 was just kidding themselves. Though I am surprised it's 2026. Crazy to think GTA6 will be out before it.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Looks like Sony got everything from Marvel. Venom, Spidey, Wolverine, and now X-Men

 

[ChiefDada]

I see people now complaining that Insomniac is only doing Marvel superhero titles and I understand the frustration to a degree. But this is the single player equivalent of EA securing contracts to develop games for major league sports. Blue chip IPs beloved by the masses is a certified cash cow. Especially crucial during this time period when Sony is having difficulty finding success with GAAS.

Now back to this insane leak: Largest in gaming history at this point, right?

This, GTA 6, and Nvidia are just to be shuffled in someone’s top 3 but those are THE top 3 now

They're copying God Of War 2018 with Wolverine.

Spider-Man 2’s budget Jesus Christ. Spider-Man 3’s budget Jesus fucking Christ

Spider-Man 2’s budget Jesus Christ. Spider-Man 3’s budget Jesus fucking Christ

it has to be with the marketing.....right?

 

[Dazraell]

I was expecting them working on Venom and Spider-Man 3, but I'm surprised to see an X-Men game here. Either way, it's kinda a shame that Insomniac's almost entire 2020s plans are dedicated to Marvel games.

That being said, I'm glad to see another Ratchet & Clank game though. I had some gripes with Rift Apart, but overall it was a good game

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Insomniac only doing Marvel content until the end of times smh...

Literally says R&C and New IP in 6 years. What some companies would take to make a game. Like Rocksteady. They will release 3-5 Marvel games. People complain about anything. They spew content.

 

[Xtib81]

How can they had this ps3 era schedule ?

By releasing good, by the book games, not great or innovative games.

 

[M.W.]

Spider-Man 2, 3, and Wolverine all have PC ports planned.

 

[nowhat]

I’m gonna buy all those Day 1 and still want some Infamous.

Cool, but Infamous is by Sucker Punch?

 

[Dazraell]

Fucking hell, they're gonna reuse the same NYC map for a fourth time, won't they?

 

[nial]

It does say 'total costs', so maybe.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

PS5 was only 6 months old when Rift Apart launched.

Hmm my bad you’re right

 

[twilo99]

So bored of Marvel.

Please Sony do not make ND wasting time on a Marvel turd, one studio lost is already enough

What do you mean waste? The Marvel games bring in enormous profits, so spending more time on those is exactly what they should be doing.

 

[Yoboman]

Wait this is fake. I was told Sony don't have a pipeline

 

[Carmen Winstead]

Fucking hell, they're gonna reuse the same NYC map for a fourth time, doesn't they?

Don't forget SM3.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Wait this is fake. I was told Sony don't have a pipeline

the pipeline:

 

[Hoppa]

I was so sure a Resistance revival would be coming in the near future so this is disappointing tbh. Resistance is what PS needs

 

[Thaimasker]

By releasing good, by the book games, not great or innovative games.

99% of studios are doing that or less yet taking so much longer.

 

[Yoboman]

When is this from? Spiderman sales seem conservative if the first sold over 20m

 

[M.W.]

 

[Zuzu]

No wonder Ratchet's been put on the back burner for a while. It lost $8M...

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Spidey 3, Venom, Wolverine, and X-Men....Sony has just secured the entire Marvel fanbase with this release calendar. Looks like Marvel gave Insomniac the whole slate. This is wild!!


They are going to print a ton of money and sell a shitload of PS5s and PS6s with these games.

 

[Represent.]

Apparently Guerrilla Games stuff is slowly leaking out too

You want to have a "PlayStation Showcase" and not announce a single first party game, skip all game shows, show up at TGA with a fucking free DLC, remain secretive as fuck, and expect me to be hyped about 12 live service games, then FOH, leak it all

 

[twilo99]

When is this from? Spiderman sales seem conservative if the first sold over 20m

Yes, but the profit margins are very good on those games

 

[Sleepwalker]

I'm actually fine with Insomniac just doing licensed content, ratchet is pretty but boring as hell, sunset overdrive sucked ass, resistance was good but clearly sony don't give a shit about it and I doubt Insomniac can even make a shooter anymore. Creating IPs is not their strength and that's ok.

My main problem is I don't really enjoy Spidermans cast of characters so I'm hoping Wolverine's are better. Oh and that Venom ditches harry the little bitch in the standalone game.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

That's a lot of super hero shit

 

[XesqueVara]

The Big Leak from today.

 

[nial]

I found this post on Reddit (Lord forgive me...)

New IP in 2030s is interesting. Does that mean the Marvel license only extends that far and from then on Insomniac is doing their own thing or is this incomplete depending on license renewal.

EDIT: Oh wow, they are totally expecting to not do Marvel ten years from now. A team allocation slide has leaked and there is a small team dedicated to "Ratchet / New IP group to prepare for post Spider-Man era."

Venom team is around same size as the SM2 team in its final year of development. Wolverine team is twice the size as the SM2 in its final year of development, and the SM3 team will be as big as the Wolverine team.

EDIT 2: The multiplayer project Insomniac was working on was a Spider-Man game called The Great Web, which would be like GTA Online (in other words a live service co-op experience updated with new campaigns). It was cancelled. So, unless that team got put on new multiplayer duties (X-Men?) then it means that's another PS studio whose live service project was canned.

EDIT 3: Those clamouring for Ratchet, Rift Apart lost money, so that's why it won't be back anytime soon. Just be glad it's even coming back at all in 2029.

Basically, they're not becoming a Marvel factory forever, the GAAS project was canned and Rift Apart lost money, so that's why they're taking their time with the next Ratchet & Clank game.

 

[existensmaximum]

Modern game development time isn't a joke, shit. I miss when high-budget games could be made in 1-2 years.

 

[Represent.]

Guerrilla MP project? "Hunters Gathering"

New IP????

GAAS Trash?

Idk.. Leak it

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

This can't be right. Budgets are way too bloated for their short and heavy asset reusing games.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Ratched and Clank made a loss lol. Bury the IP.

 

[XesqueVara]

Looks like this Roadmap is outdated but the license terms are still interesting

 

[geary]

Fucking hell, they're gonna reuse the same NYC map for a fourth time, won't they?

Wait till SP3….its a surprise

 

[Heisenberg007]

That's a lot of super hero shit

That sells 20 million+ copies and scores in the 90s.

Critically and commercially successful.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

That poster calling Sony the Disney of video games was spot on.

 

[tmlDan]

That poster calling Sony the Disney of video games was spot on.

Because they only have one studio, right?

 

[Heisenberg007]

Looks like this Roadmap is outdated but the license terms are still interesting

Holy hell! Insomniac is going to burn the competition down on its own!

 

[ProtoByte]

Looks like this Roadmap is outdated but the license terms are still interesting

That online shit gotta go. Probably did after that Great Web cancelation.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Because they only have one studio, right?

So far, Insomniac is the only Sony studio delivering content at a steady rate. Everyone else is either cancelling projects or have games years out with no news to show yet.

 

[killatopak]

That poster calling Sony the Disney of video games was spot on.

???
It’s not even exclusive. You have Blade and Indiana Jones on the Xbox.

What’s the method used in that comparison?
