Spectacular Spider-Man season 3 in video game form!
That is true, but Im sure they can come with something up. He doesnt have to be that much bigger than Rocky in the game, they can use something like the Disney Infinity scale
If this is the exclusive Activison game then...
Its the Activision exclusive, because Sony bought Crash back
Im crying badly if we dont see a Crash comeback this year

Let someone other than Beenox do it. I did like Dimensions though. All the other games weren't that good.

Yeah I agree he doesn't need Bayonetta levels of combos. By mobility I meant utilizing environments and webbing AMID basic melee strings, but maybe that would need some TPS mechanics in order to aim where you want to go and web up specific enemies. I mean it's Sucker Punch, a good power moveset isn't much a worry.
I just want them to go all out.

It works because of the level design and the overall art direction, but if people really wish for SP to be the one working the new Spider-man, it's gonna be hard. As we already know that SP wants to push the visual fidelity with their next game further than what they did with ISS and First Light.

I just don't have any confidence on the pedigree of Activision developers to do the series justice and bring it back to the quality displayed in Spiderman 2 back then. They haven't recaptured that magic.
If it's a sony exclusive hopefully it means they made a deal with Activision to have one of the sony developers, like suckerpunch, do it and they bought the rights to make the game.

also sucker punch create a hero from the ground up, which is harder.
spiderman is already an established franchise. so they just have to improve whats already there.

A decent spider man game? Myth
We've had a lot of decent Spider-Man games. Some of them even pretty good.
One of the rumors was that a game that would be taking advantage of PS4K was a game with a movie tie-in

I concur
Do you have a link for this one? I dont think this is right or I have really bad memory, which is prob the case
Just please. For the love of god give the project proper development time.
They finally got back to phsyics based swinging in ASM2, but you can tell they didn't have time to go beyond that. No momentum stuff, awful combat, and empty ass world design.
The thing is, give Spidey the arkham combat treatment with enough animation flourishes it would be absolutely perfect. They almost had that basic system down in ASM2 as well, but you could tell they had no time to actually polish it.
So close to the full package, the only thing that's ever stopped them was time.

Agreed. Their Spider-Man games have been trash to OK. Even Spider-Man 2 wasn't that great as a whole. The swinging mechanics and the open world were the best part of the game. The actual game, not so much.
Yup, not to mention most of their games has similar combat now with the exception odf Scalboud which is expected considering they are working on countless titles.
I consider Platinum one of my 3 favorite devs ever, but I don't want more games made by them for a while.

Man. A Spider-Man game by Sucker Punch would be so perfect. InFamous 2 got real close to the feeling of web-swinging with some of the later traversal abilities (haven't played Second Son so I can't comment on that). Spider-Man deserves an amazing game and I can't think of a better studio to give it to him.
I'll try not to get myself too excited about this prospect, but it feels so right and it's pretty damn plausible.

TASM2 had the same fake swinging just like TASM1. Only thing that changed was the anchor point being "somewhere near" structures (the webs still went through buildings or to the clouds) and no auto-eject.
I want them to go ALL OUT: realistic physical properties for weblines (they can stretch and bend when they come in contact with structures like traffic lights or building corners) and Spider-Man himself.
Oh and having the game also focus on Peter Parker would be really cool (I don't see why they can't allow us to switch to Peter and walk around with limited traversal options, take pictures etc). If it's a movie tie-in we might get that due to the 2017 movie also focusing on the high school drama.
Right, but even going that far was leaps and bounds of the Spider-Man properties post SM2 (maybe web of shadows). You're right though I want them to go all out (i loved my webs getting caught on street lights or flagpoles in SM2) and the only way they can do so is with more than a year of development time.
I am still looking for it. I think it was hinted in an interview that they were taking a break from InFamous and that their new game was pushing the visual fidelity more than what they did with ISS or First Light. I will edit this post if I find the interview (I think it was with Shuhei Yoshida).

Devastation wasn't good because it was a Transformers game. It was good because it was another Platinum Games game. I want a real Spiderman game. Not a character action game with spiderman in it.
Hmm...Are we supposed to read into this cryptic post
Was this in the GameStop thread? I definitely missed it...
He actually means Spiderman.Hmm...Are we supposed to read into this cryptic post

So that's why ND was practicing with UC4's rope!
I thought it was SpiderMan

This. I don't want a reskinned Platinum game for Spider-Man, Transformers, Avatar, or TMNT. I don't understand why people want them to turn huge properties that should have huge adventure games into low-budget character-action games.

Well you can easily throw together a swinging simulator that has webs with physical properties within a few minutes in Unity or UE4 (I believe there is even a tutorial for Unity by the guy that came up with the SM2 Movie swinging mechanic somewhere). But I get what you mean. It takes time to narrow down and fine tune gameplay mechanics... time Beenox obviously didn't have (that and the huge budget cut from the first TASM installment).
I should probably leave this topic because I am already trying to buy a first class ticket for the hype train that's about to depart with full force. Doesn't help that I'll see the new Cap movie next wednesday (which will, without a doubt, make me want a proper Spidey game even more).

Marvel has made it clear on multiple occasions (and as recently as last year) that they have AAA game projects in the works. They are just being super selective about it because they don't want to seem like they are just churning out trash for a quick buck.

It's through a belief that Platinum would actually try to craft an adventure, open world title if given a good sized budget and a sensible development time. You said it yourself those are low budget titles, but an exclusive Sony title with a n ultrapopular multimedia IP paints some hope that such a game can have a much bigger budget. We've seen how varied Platinum can be with a budget worth a damn. Third Person shooter, multiplayer brawler, action RPG both linear and open world that are soon to come out. They just released a collaboration effort with Nintendo on a rail shooter. Even their straight up action games varies vastly in their combat with a good budget between MGR, Bayonetta, and W101.
I'm warming up to idea of SuckerPunch being ideal because I like their previous efforts, but it's not that alien on why people would like Platinum to do it and don't believe it'll be another reskin.

It's a tie-in Spiderman 2017 game guys. Like they've had for every Spider-Man movie so far. As dedicated AAA superhero games died, they've remained. Hopefully they boot Beenox into a vault at the bottom of the ocean and hire a decent dev this time.

I need a Winter Soldier era MCU Cap game where he's running covert missions for SHIELD in that GOAT Stealth Suit. Was listening to the Henry Jackman score earlier and realising how perfect it would be.

I feel this is an excellent point.
When was the last Marvel console game?

Marvel based - LEGO Avengers.
God knows what the last one they actually made was. Thor?

I think that was Iron Man 2.
It's no secret though that they have new AAA games in development. Some Marvel Games head confirmed it and said that we should expect more news in a year. That was roughly a year ago so I guess E3 2016.

Well I pray to Cheesus that lame ass Sucker Punch isn't touching glorious Spider-Man with a ten-foot pole.

Id take a Spidey game with UC4-esqur roping swinging animations in a heartbeat.
That would be amazing.
