Ryan Penagos: Spider-Man releasing in 2017 on PS4 [Insomniac insists no timeframe]
- Thread starter STEaMkb
- Start date
All are confirmed for Sony marketing deals except Battlefront 2 (unless I missed something), but it's safe to assume it will have one.

That feels like pretty much what Sony did with the PS3.
I think Sony has marketing deals on everything Star Wars (LEGO and EA), so it'll likely have one.

Can't wait for the limited edition PS4 where they bring back the PS3 Spider-Man font.

I envision what it looks like with 3 years development vs 4 and I hope it comes out in 2018. New game built from the ground up, it's important for the foundation of the game to be great for future sequels.

Rush not from a dev perspective, but from a release schedule perspective. Sony is in a position where they can be a little flexible because they're not playing catch up. If there isn't a good week to release a 1st party game in the Fall because of all these giant 3rd party games, some of which Sony has marketing deals with, then hold the game until Q1. I think it's been proven now that you don't have to release a game during the Holiday season for it to sell really well.
remember the competition is releasing an entirely new system this fall. as little of a threat that may be in the grand scheme of things, sony probably want to really hammer home the difference by having a lot of games releasing at the end of the year.

I think that's fair, and Sony is probably waiting to see what the Scorpio is before making those decisions. I do still think though if Sony releases special edition PS4 bundles with Red Dead 2 and Battlefront 2, they'll still win the Fall handily because Scorpio is aimed at the premium market and not the mass market as Phil has indicated.
sony will likely win fall anyway just based on price alone. but i don't see red dead happening this year. unless we've been told it is and i've missed it?
RS has said red dead is 2017 but pretty much everyone expects a delay. It is rockstar after all
They could honestly go without an exclusive at all this holiday period and still be okay with the Call of Duty, Battlefront, Destiny and Red Dead Redemption marketing deals. Add GT Sport and Knack 2 and they can be coasting through it - though I do think Detroit: Become Human would make for a good December release.

I think it'll hit this year for sure. Rockstar has not released a single game since GTAV dropped in 2013, and hasn't seemed too bothered by the fact at all. So I see no reason why they would announce RDR2 early if they weren't confident in the fact they couldn't launch it within that time frame.

TLOU 2 is a ways out. It's still in early development. That's not coming out till 2019 and I bet it will come out May or June of 2019 with it being rendered nativly 1440p o PS4 pro and native 4k on PS5.

DAYS GONE could be a 2017 game, but it might get pushed to early 2018, spring.
we'll see

Battlefront isn't confirmed but likely given how tight Sony and Disney are

If this releases around the time the Homecoming Blu-Ray does, you can bet there will be a PS4 bundle with the Blu-Ray included like the one for LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

TLOU is probably 2019 or Fall 2018 at the earliest. Days Gone I would say Q1 2018. Even if it's ready I wouldn't release it in the Fall because it'll just get swallowed up by all the big 3rd party games.

It already is, but if this drops and Bloodborne 2 is announced (won't happen), then it will be one of the most dominant years for a console ever.

It could get announced at e3, running on Scorpio
We won't know until then.
I really don't want Spidey dropping until 2018, the holiday season is no place for a first party game. I mean yeah Spidey is not a shooter but shooter fans, will he spending their money on destiny, cod, battlefront plus probably up front dlc. To expect them to have time to play a game that will keep them from progressing to higher levels in said shooters is not realistic, the first couple months in a shooter are their most important.

I believe.
They have a marketing deal with Sony for RDR2 (GTAV, too).

Super excited for this game. Looks like it will be a great interpretation of being spider man. Hope the new film does well and the energy can continue on for this game. Spiderman is one of the few super heroes I actually enjoy playing as in a game. He has just enough ability to 'get around and do things' without being so OP that game limitations seem odd.
No chance, just like we got no Battlefield 1/FIFA 17 footage at the Pro reveal conference - at best, you'll just get the devs come on stage to confirm it'll be supported.
March 24 already passed

Destiny is not First Party. Sony seems to like showing off their exclusives for a while before release.
Also, I highly doubt it would release this year if 2015 was their first year of development. For a new IP like that, we're looking at 3 years minimum IMO.
Good god, I hope they push most of their first party to early 2018, I think between these, Spiderman and GT there's not going to be enough oxygen for marketing left
Might not be BB2, but I would bet very good money From drops a huge announcement at E3, DS3 has been out for about a year, DLC has wrapped and they don't have a game announced. Miyazaki hasn't been twiddling his thumbs for the past year.

Not the greatest metric to go by, that was a pretty poor conference.
When Microsoft does reveal it, they will do it with a year worth of prep not to make Sony's mistake marketing wise.
damage control
not really
No release timeframe has been announced. That doesn't mean the 2017 date isn't true or going to be announced soon.

Not sure what you mean... March 24 on that card simply refers to the earliest date they expected the card to be allowed on shelves in the store.
