Absolutely loving the game. spend the first bit just collecting the backpacks and landmarks. well deserved praise.

I don't think I would put it above the Arkham games though (well besides the god damn tank missions in knight)

 

[MP!]

These distinctions were always a bit fuzzy. (Remember "second party"?) But I see what you're getting at. The coupling seems even a little tighter than Bayonetta-Nintendo here.

Yeah I mean this was def. a partnership between sony and insomniac for sure... I'm just saying the stats can always be misleading when you fudge the numbers the right way. in this case remove the words "first party" and spiderman is no longer the fastest selling anything. Game's awesome... though .. seems to deserve all the praise... Its just odd to me they consider this a first party endeavor

It would be criminal for them to scale down to Ratchet and Clank after this.

Plus the last game had a ton of issues for me. Insomniac is not suited for those kind of games anymore.

LOL Ratchet and Clank PS4 was Insomniac most successful game ever now being top by Spider-Man. So I think the chances are pretty high we will get more Ratchet and Clank. People also forget that Insomniac has 2 studios one being in North Carolina.

single player games don't sell. These numbers are clearly falsified

Both studios had worked on the same game together as they did for the latest R&C and Spiderman.

Honestly, studios just need to retire their old franchises and work on new things. Bring them back up when people are nostalgic.

Swinging around NYC in this game makes you feel like you are spiderman. For a fan like me it's a blast

 

[thelastword]

Spiderman will have about 3 weeks of coverage in the NPD for September, not only will it be number 1, it will decimate position number 2 and break many a records at that....Can't wait for what appears to be the most interesting NPD so far this year....

I think it’s boring and overhyped. It’s just too repetitive for my taste.

5 weeks.
The Friday release date is in September tracking period week 1.

So 4 Full weeks + the fist 2 days

 

[thelastword]

holy crap. congrats to all parties involved

yes it took batman to get to this point, but this MIGHT be the catalyst to kickstart a ton of other AAA development of comic (and other media) IPs.

just like the superhero trend in movies...i'm better we're gonna see more AAA games using already established franchises and less original.

good bye Ryse/Sunset Overdrive hello Superman/Xmen

Well perhaps it's time for Insomniac to realize where it's bread is buttered, great success on Ratchet and Clank and now crazy success on Spiderman, perhaps Ted will reconsider being acquired...I mean they've sought out other partnerships, but their Sony partnerships clearly nets them more coin ( Spartacus Reference)

In any case, I'd love to see more super hero games, give me a Storm game (whydon'tyou) and I'd love a sequel to Wolverine 2009....

5 weeks.

Ehhh! Money...........Even more tracking time eh!

I haven’t played it yet but I doubt it will be better than God of War

It's not better than a lot of games.

 

[Quixz]

HZD 2.6 million in 16 days
UC4 2.7 million in 6 days
GoW 3.1 million in 3 days
Spiderman 3.3 million in 3 days

The last of us part 2 4 million in 2 days?

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Well deserved!

One of the most pure fun to play games I’ve played in a while.

 

[{insert code here}]

All the years that Activision had the Spiderman license and all they had to do was put a competent studio behind the game. Somebody over there must be kicking themselves.

Now can Sony go out there and get the Bond license and put an A-tier studio like Naughty Dog behind it please!

 

[Enzo88]

I beat the game, totally deserves all the sales.
It`s in my top 5 this year and the best super-hero game since Arkham Asylum in my opinion.

 

[Dibils2k]

I bet Xbox players wish they had supported Sunset Overdrive this well. Now it looks like Insomniac will become synonymous with PlayStation again.

i mean its not fair comparing a new IP to one of the biggest IPs in the world lol but it would have been interesting to see how Sunset Overdrive would have done if it was PS exclusive, i dont think the bad word of mouth on Xbox at the time helped

 

[bigedole]

All of the positivity will probably lead to me getting the game when the discounts come in for Black Friday probably. I haven't played Dad of War yet either, waiting for the same thing I guess...

 

[Senhua]

While not my kind of game, congrats to Insomniac and Sony.

 

[Ixiah]

But its an Single Player only game, Players dont want these kind of Games !
At least thats what EA keeps telling me.......

 

[-IZHAN-]

Nice Milestones !

 

[Moses85]

Amazing game, well deserved sales.

I wonder which superhero MS will make exclusive.

So where did the whole "single player games don't sell" meme come from?

I wonder if the number has hit 5 million by now.

 

[Silent blades]

Fantastic game almost hated beating it. Can’t wait for the DLC.

I would like to add 2 more. Aaron Greenberg and Major Nelson.

Might have been something from EA or Microsoft talking heads. I don't remember but it's certainly used as mockery against their publishing policies.

They will be the Three Amigos come XO18 in Ciudad de México!
