Salt...there's salt in sand...

SANDMAN CONFIRMED

Sandman fused with hydro man once

Hydroman and mudman confirmed

 

[sanstesy]

All of the bitterness over a friggin IGN poll makes me extremely excited for the possibility of Spider-Man outselling Mario.

Possibility? Spider-Man will easily outsell Odyssey. There is no sense arguing otherwise.

Lifetime? I actually don't know about this. If Spidey were multiplatform, it probably would.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Bahahahaha great image.

Btw do we know if there'll be more villains other than Mr.Negative?

 

[sinonobu]

Yes there will be
Symboite isn't one of them(thank god)

Wait no Symbiote confirmed!?

Spoiler

anti venom got robbed

Mario

Lol

 

[Jmille99]

So much salt in here

Both games look fantastic. Who cares what won a stupid poll.

 

[Lifeline]

To all the haters

This picture is disturbing in so many levels

Spoiler

Like wtf is Batman doing there on street MCU.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Holy shit you guys got the privilege from Marvel to design a brand new villain? The Saltman?

 

[Belgian Dude]

To all the haters

spiderman has transcended ordinary meme style, this is our zeitgeist

e: in regard to villains you can't have a spider man game without Big Wheel

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Holy shit you guys got the privilege to design a brand new villain? The Saltman?

They got inspiration for the design from here

lol

 

[Bamboo 竹]

Not deserved in my opinion, but congrats for the developers for the accomplishment.

 

[jph139]

I feel like God of War and Detroit were WAY more interesting than Spider-Man when it comes to Sony's showings, but it was definitely the biggest crowd pleaser between the IP and the spectacle, so I'm not surprised.

Now show some non-scripted/non-linear gameplay and I can start being interested.

 

[Callibretto]

Congrats insomniac games

Man, seeing the new god of war really make me want a good Thor game now. Kratos axe is basically Mjolnir now.

If the combat in new God of War turns out great, I can see many action game start copying it just like we used to have many gow clone during ps2 era.

 

[AquaWateria]

I will admit this got me lol.

 

[phanphare]

but it gets my attention how fans seems to think that gaming can't do something better or more interesting than Mario.

I think you're reading too much into this lol

no one's saying that

 

[sanstesy]

Lifetime? I actually don't know about this. If Spidey were multiplatform, it probably would.

Then you don't know how humongous of a character Spider-Man is.

 

[Dynomutt]

So much salt Spidey can't breathe.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

And yet that has been the dominating concern of just about everyone I've heard talk about it. Like that's the stuff that has stuck out the most.

Though apparently it's not really that big of deal in general because it won the IGN People's Choice Award regardless.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Then you don't know how humongous the character Spider-Man is.

Oh, I do. But this Mario guy's a pretty big deal too, so I don't think it's as cut and dry as you do.

 

[Aikidoka]

definitely deserved. Spider-Man looked amazing

 

[JusDoIt]

Sony gonna do Wii numbers in 2018.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Never change.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

End of the year will be absolutely unbearable with freaking Mario stans endlessly shouting about Mario.

 

[Icyflamez96]

This is so warranted.

I have no idea why people are so distressed by their personal favorite game not winning this award.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Spider-Man is an absolute beast.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Possibility? Spider-Man will easily outsell Odyssey. There is no sense arguing otherwise.

At launch? Probably, just due to install base. But lifetime, I'd give Mario the edge here. Galaxy did 12M on the Wii. Only figure I can find for Spiderman is 8M for the whole series, but it's from 2004.

 

[prag16]

So much salt Spidey can't breathe.

Guys, like five people complained in a thread with hundreds of posts. It's all of you salty about the 'salt' derailing this topic, and nothing else.

God forbid the circle jerk doesn't garner 100% participation.

 

[sanstesy]

Oh, I do. But this Mario guy's a pretty big deal too, so I don't think it's as cut and dry as you do.

He isn't a bigger deal than Spider-Man, though. Not only is he a bigger brand for the older demographic he is also the way bigger brand in the younger demographic.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

This is so warranted.

I have no idea why people are so distressed by their personal favorite game not winning this award.

'People' aren't. Someone posted a salt macro on page 2 in response to like five posts in this thread, not all of which have to do with other games, and y'all ran with it. the ratio of 'lol all this salt' posts to actual salty posts in here is like 10:1

 

[AquaWateria]

Then you don't know how humongous of a character Spider-Man is.

How much do you think Spiderman will sell?

Mario can easily do 10+ million long-term once enough Switches are out there.

Either way both will sell a fuck ton.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

He isn't a bigger deal than Spider-Man, though. Not only is he a bigger brand for the older demographic he is also the way bigger brand in the younger demographic.

So is Mario.

Again, not cut and dry.

 

[TwistedFreeze]

Considering how its basically Spiderman Arkham, I'm not surprised. I was waiting a while for a Spiderman like the Batman Arkham games and its nice to see it finally happening. Looks gorgeous to boot. Not my personal favorite but its up there

Then you don't know how humongous Spider-Man is.

To be fair, that's not a guarantee of anything. It'll no doubt be huge but so will a lot of other games, both this year and next year. Best not to count our eggs before they hatch

 

[notaskwid]

Someone photoshop Mario's face in JJ Jameson's.

 

[J@hranimo]

Yep the game looks sexy (besides those QTEs). Hopefully it's early 2018 as fuck for release.

 

[Exploratory]

Tears taste a little salty...

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Why is this a Mario vs Spider-Man thread tho?
At least keep it somewhat similar and make it knack vs Mario if y'all gonna war geez
Xp

 

[phanphare]

There's not anywhere near as much of that going around in this thread as you guys think. The same three posts are just being endlessly requoted.
That said, there really shouldn't be any of that shit, but damn, it almost feels like y'all wanted the derail, considering how this thread pivoted into "Wow all this salt" and VS discussion after what? three Mario mentions and three people whining about how they just didn't like the game?

'People' aren't. Someone posted a salt macro on page 2 in response to like five posts in this thread, not all of which have to do with other games, and y'all ran with it. the ratio of 'lol all this salt' posts to actual salty posts in here is like 10:1

truth

Knack is bigger than both Mario and Spiderman so it doesn't make sense......

Well, that wouldn't be a fair fight. Knack Vs. Entire Video Game Industry might be.

 

[whatever6352]

Congrats to Insomniac! Will be there day 1.

Yeah, there were like a handful of posts about Mario and suddenly everyone's salty about Mario. Most in this thread are actually happy a good Spiderman game is getting attention as they've been kind of ho-hum for a while. Its why I'm here

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Well, that wouldn't be a fair fight. Knack Vs. Entire Video Game Industry might be.

Knack is bigger than both Mario and Spiderman so it doesn't make sense......

Lol sorry peter you can't handle the knack

 

[D i Z]

Meh, thought Sea of Thieves looked better.

I've got some bushes you should dive into and inspect.

 

[Vroadstar]

Lol me too uninspired game wins again.

It's another game that's trying to hard to ape popular gaming trends without adding anything.

Sorry but the game looks like trash next to those batman Arkham games.

I it doesn't look that different to all those mediocre Spider-Man games.

Uh oh....

PS4 had no games for over 1.5 years at least,

 

[The Last One]

Is there something bigger than Knack?

 

[sanstesy]

How much do you think Spiderman will sell?

Mario can easily do 10+ million long-term once enough Switches are out there.

Either way both will sell a fuck ton.

Mario will sell well but it won't be close. I see 15 million as the low bar for Spider-Man LTD.

 

[SolidSnakex]

And yet that has been the dominating concern of just about everyone I've heard talk about it. Like that's the stuff that has stuck out the most.

I'm not sure what to tell you since again, there were literally only 35s of QTE's in that demo. And that 35s includes the animations that go along with the QTE's, so it's not even 35s of button presses. The reactions have been bizarre since they do make up such a minuscule amount of time in the entire demo.

 

[J@hranimo]

Some embarrassing posts in here...sheesh, people have their own opinions!
