Nope. Just movies. Marvel has his game rights, and let’s Sony use him ostensibly as a part of negotiations for him to appear in marvel movies

This definitely will not happen. WB aren’t about to lose millions of PlayStation games sales.
Don’t forget: Microsoft wouldn’t be buying Batman... they’ll be buying the rights to make games featuring him. And WB would stipulate multi platform because money.

Not such what that garbage is, but the VP of Enhance Studios said himself it was a licensing issue from The Tetris Company, NOT Microsoft.
Stop spreading FUD.

Sadly not. The story of Spider-man’s rights is a long and sorry one that I’m not going to go into now. Suffice to say Marvel didn’t do a good job of it. Sony have far more power over the character than they should have. It’s a stupid confusing mess, where neither has decent control.
Whereas Batman is locked down hard by Warner Bros, as are all DC characters.

All that money they saved by not putting a 4K blu ray player into the PS4 Pro was invested into this deal.
Thanks Sony!
Thanks Sony!

Fair enough, though I'd argue that they're not nearly as integral to Avengers as Spidey. It just stinks to me, I'm not massively surprised, I just think it's an awful practice to announce a multiplatform game in 2017 (or whenever they actually confirmed multi, even if it was E3 2019) and then a month before release announce that a massive part of that franchise, one hugely enjoyed by children, is only gonna be seen by part of the playerbase. As much as people here like to draw the comparison, it just isn't the same as a company announcing one day one that "this game exists and is coming to this platform only".

First of all: the salt is unreal holy smokes.
Furthermore: whatever Sony funded the good Spiderman game and the previous ones were utter TRASH. So I don't really know why people are that mad.
The char is associated with the company anyway, remember that PS3 logo version 1.

Your argument would be a lot stronger if you could produce proof of this instead of getting angry. Tetris is going remote play on Xcloud right?

If you're right, then this deal is really a result of Sony saying to Marvel, "Sure would be a shame if the MCU had to get along without Spider-Man..."

You have to be fucking kidding me thinking MS paid money so remote play would be removed from a fucking Tetris game lol

Oh here come the Xforce.....always the same people rushing to defend.
I mean is this not the same company who thought that Halo trailer was worth hyping? I wouldn't put anything past them.

Did the quote not convince you? Do you want the guy to come round to your house and tell you himself?

Yes I must be a fanboy for thinking it's dumb that MS would give 2 shits about Tetris Effect remote play lol

I actually was going to post the proof for you since you obviously could not. I spent a couple of mins googling it and couldn't find proof of your claim, even so if it was "contractually" does that not mean MS could have contractually setup Xcloud as the only streaming service for Tetris?
So no proof? got ya.

As I said earlier numbnuts, it’s off a ResetEra thread where the VP of Marketing for Enhance posts the reason.
And I quoted what he said.

This is true. I think we're in for a "treat" next-gen with all this fuckeryIf that was the case, Spider wouldn't be on:
Sony only owns the rights to do Spiderman movies, other than that they have to negotiate...

Damn. Sony going hard on these exclusive deals!

Yeah there is a risk with this sort of thing. I remember back when Arkham City came out and they'd been advertising Cat Woman as a playable character for months. But then at the last moment slipped in the fine print that she was only available to people who bought the game first hand. That really annoyed me.
Though in this case they've not used Spider-Man in any of the advertising material. And the only word of him being in the game has come alongside the exclusivity announcement. So I think the risk of someone spontaneously picking the game up on Xbox/PC assuming they'll get to play as Spider-Man should be pretty negligible. I could be wrong though.

And you beleive that they took it off Remote play but allow it on Xcloud out of the goodness of their hearts for the love of MS? Really? What do you think "contractually" entails?

You believe what you like, mate, but don’t presume to assume what I think. Cool?

Microsoft sometimes pays for all kinds of exclusivity... what does that have to do with the idea it's fucking dumb to think they paid for remote play to be removed from some Tetris game?

So we are back to this, he was speaking what he believes happened and you have no right to tell him what to he thinks. Cool?

This won't happen cause those companies like money, and most of said money is earned off of the Playstation playerbase.

Friendo, if you’re going to do this, the ball is still in your court to prove with slides, a spreadsheet and possibly a 1500-2000 word essay what commercial sense it would make for Microsoft to do this.
I’d like it turned in by the morning for extra credit.

Wow, it's baffling to see people are praising such behavior actually. I literally own tons of Sony products and kind of a fanboy on hardware part and always had a Playstation to support my PC gaming; however, this is just unacceptable and should be criticized by every gamer on every platform. It's disgusting and only thing they will get by dividing the player base is a big fat negative revenue due to refunds and cancellations. It's also so interesting to announce such thing before the release of the game, very poor marketing decision.

I don't have to prove anything, I wasn't stating a fact just an opinion. The timing of this remote play thing is sketchy, very much a big coincidence.

... you know that if Microsoft buys WB Games, they don't actually get the rights to the movie properties right?
WB Games would have to fulfill any contract obligations from before the buyout, so anything in development that was released would have to go as per usual, but after that, Warner (the BIG company, not the little games subsidiary) would be free to shop around their properties to the highest bidder. The only reason WB Games was making games for all the WB properties was BECAUSE they were in-house.
They're basically selling the studio, the rights to Mortal Kombat and a few videogame IP's, but MS doesn't get exclusive rights to Harry Potter or DC Comics characters, because they're movie rights. Even then WB Games never had exclusive rights to those characters as they were in lots of other non WB-developed games.

I didn't see a lot of people praising this, but several people are just accepting for what it is - a terrible business practice that they hated for several years but that seems to be profitable enough to still be around.
MS is also terrible with practices like several studio acquisitions and timed exclusives (for example the whole Yakuza 7 deal is just terrible, unacceptable). But it is what it is: a business practice that nearly all publishers use.
To be honest: I don't see a whole lot of cancellations. A lot of Spidey fans have a PS4 at home are happy to get him exclusive in this game - the number of hardcore gamers who are furious enough to cancel their preorder or don't buy the game because of this deal isn't that high.

The game isn't even out yet on Xbox.. and there's no indication it's coming to xCloud...
Look, MS pays for exclusivity for things sometimes.. and arbitrary money-hatted exclusivity sucks IMO no matter who does it.
But there's zero indication MS ever paid any money to have remote play removed from a Tetris game lol
