Affirmation for people's favorite brand.Does stuff like this even matter? I’m sure something like Zelda’s trailers had way less views (and likely even less than the first Spider-Man game’s trailer) and it sold 10M in 3 days.
Don’t really understand the fascination with views.
If that's the case then why did Spider-Man never do well under Activision? The interest in this game and high sells of the previous two are because of their quality. No one cared about the average at best Activision games.Is just like the Pokemon. The franchise name elevate the popularity. Spider-Man is a huge franchise with high popularity. This have nothing to do with the game quality overal.
What next? Gonna show the Pokemon Scarlet/Violet Youtube trailer views to defend the abysmal state of the game?
People are really touched by the critic. Is not the end of the world guys. Stop being snowflakes.
Criticism? 99.9% are crazy about the game, loud minorities won't hurt a bit.Despite the criticism I think it's going to do well both in sales and critically. Might not be a 90+ title but it still should be a good experience. It's definitely something that's going to push PS5s this holiday season.
How are the ones who don't care are the ones here early to tell you how much they don't care? Scientists are baffled by this human behavior.Playstation fanatics always post about how many views their exclusive games get, I'll never understand who cares!

Across the Sony and Marvel youtube channels. Posting this as a reminder that when it comes to gaming, you can't purchase mindshare or hype. It has to be built on the back of great games.
Because it also looked goodHogwarts Legacy was made by a developer without a history of making great games, but got a metric ton of hype and trailer views after each showing.
It’s gonna be one of the biggest games of the year and sell a record number of PS5s. Don’t listen to the out of touch people here on GAF. I still remember when people here thought the first Spiderman was gonna bomb before it launched in 2018. The community here doesn’t represent the gaming community at large.
Because it also looked good
It's spiderman. Non gamer folks will watch that video. Especially comic fans.
Not exactly something you’d know before watching the videos, is it?
The IP brought them there.
It only got hyped with the trailers that showed high production values
Most IP, even big IP, fails because the craftsmanship isn’t there
Just look at Avengers
Naw I can't copy you. That's your persona around here
13+ million views lifetime since it's announcement (6 years). This game is beating that trajectory in less than 2 days.Good you bring up Avengers.
The CGI announcement trailer for Avengers, uploaded by Marvel outside any major conference, has 13+ million views.
I suppose this was solely based on Eidos track record too?

Watching people eat Crow on forums hasn't been this good since 2018's Spider-Man serving.
It can be both. We've had Spiderman games before Spiderman 2018 and other comic based games.I mean, this is popular because it’s Spider-Man. The most popular comic book character of all time. It’s not because Spider-Man 2018 was the greatest video game of all time.
If anything this proves that mindshare can be piggybacked.
Just how much Marvel IP does Sony own / licensed? Is it Spiderman and every Villain he's ever encountered? This Kraven movie looks like another expansion of the MCU.
Kraven is a Spider-Man villain which means Sony owns the rights to him. Movie rights at least.
I've wondered this as well. Also, this movie is coming in the same month as Spider-Man 2? That's kinda a big deal. Both will benefit from each other.
I hope that the Wolverine game ties into Deadpool 3 somehow. Would love an M-17+ Deadpool game.I've wondered this as well. Also, this movie is coming in the same month as Spider-Man 2? That's kinda a big deal. Both will benefit from each other.
I'm not going to google references, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Or not.Just how much Marvel IP does Sony own / licensed? Is it Spiderman and every Villain he's ever encountered? This Kraven movie looks like another expansion of the MCU.

Basically Sony owns the cinematic (whether this applies to series as well, I don't know... maybe?) rights to Spider-Man and (some of the) associated rogue's gallery of villains/companions. The reason that this deal happened in the first place was the fact that Marvel was pretty much going bankrupt at the time.
Now the situation is obviously much different than what it was in the early 2000s, but Sony Pictures still hold the license. But apparently, Sony Pictures has to do with something with the IP every now and then or they'd lose it, which is why we've got such gems as Venom 2 and Morbius. OTOH, we got Spider-Verse ("Across" was just incredible), so it's not all bad.
