Hey everyone,
Today at PlayStation’s Press Conference, we revealed our new Spider-Man game coming exclusively to PlayStation 4. (Surprise!) You can see the trailer below. There are a few fun details embedded throughout the piece, so take your time watching!
From a personal and professional standpoint, this is a dream come true. I’ve been an avid Marvel fan all my life. When I first learned Insomniac was approached by our long-time friends and collaborators at Sony Interactive Entertainment with the opportunity to create a blockbuster Spider-Man console game experience, I practically ran into Ted’s office professing my passion for Spider-Man – along with a desire to serve as creative director. Fortunately, there are many more longtime fans and professional admirers of Marvel at Insomniac. From comics to films and TV, Marvel has a stellar reputation for unique characters and storytelling filled with personality and humor. Those are tenets we value deeply in our own craft.
From our first meeting, Marvel, Spider-Man and Insomniac have felt like a match made in heaven. So much so that for the first time in Insomniac’s 22-year history, we’re working on an IP that didn’t originate in-house. We love building big games, with incredible gameplay, deep stories, and beautiful graphics. Spider-Man is one of the most iconic and well-known characters in the world, and we’re thrilled to be given the responsibility to create a brand-new, authentic Spider-Man story. Nope, this isn’t the same Spider-Man you’ve met before, nor is our game based on the upcoming movie. This is a more seasoned Peter Parker who’s more masterful at fighting big crime in New York City. At the same time, he’s struggling to balance his absurdly chaotic personal life and career. All while nine million New Yorkers depend on him for their safety… no pressure indeed.
This collaboration also allows us to quickly return to action developing on PS4. Having released Ratchet & Clank, we feel confident in our ability to create a showpiece for the console. And we’re downright giddy bringing Spidey’s acrobatic abilities, improvisation, and web-slinging to life. But we also want to introduce new elements that players have never experienced with Spider-Man, ranging from traversing with parkour and utilizing the environment, to new combat and blockbuster set-pieces.
We can’t wait to share more about our Spider-Man game in the months to come. For all the latest, follow Insomniac Games on Twitter or Like us on Facebook.
Thank god! Thank you insomniac games! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I think the white shows up better than the black did. So many games coming and now a Spiderman game I can actually get excited about.
For me the best news of the entire Sony press conference!
I’m already looking forward to this game… man, Insomniac makes great games, and them working on Spider-man is really the best news.
I love the suit, please dont change it.
Just give us the traditional one as an alternate as soon as the game begins, and everyone’ll be happy.
Every self-respecting spiderman game has to have several alternate suits anyway.
Hi. Why never use the original costume? Y don’t understand why always create a new costume. The original is perfect. Please, add the original one! Sorry I don’t speak english well
This game looks awesome! I want it so bad!
I’ve been a Spidery ever since birth lol I’m proud that someone actually cares for the game as much as I do. I believe it can be like the Arkham series and based off that trailer….. you guys can fulfil that. I’m pumped for this game. P.S. as one of the alternate outfits i would like to see the Classic Scarlet Spiderman suit, the one with the blue hoodie thats childhood right there.
Okay, all I ask is to have a FREE Spider Man Ulimited cartoon show alternate skin, Ben Reily Classic skin, and All New All Different 2099. Oh and I’m an super excitited, match made in heaven right here.
Oh and Miles Morales and obviously black suit. And also it would cool if like Miles’ suit have you invisiblity and venom blast if people like stealth and stunning enemies, while black suit is for just going all in with power and strength. Basically what I’m saying is depending on what suit you get a special bonus not changing stats but just a bonus. 2099 would be fast, Unlimited would have more techy stuff, etc. I t would be cool to see this
