Man, Insomniac must be the best purchase Sony has ever made.

One of the major ps5 launch titles? Insomniac
One of the few big fully exclusive Ps5 games for 2021? Insomniac
The only 2 first party announcements during their big 2021 conference? Insomniac.

The fuck is every other Sony studio doing?

Wolverine games have been on Xbox and other formats historically, Insomniac games have made games for Xbox previously.

this means the game is coming out on Xbox right? (despite official statements)
Think of the money they're leaving on the table by making it exclsuive!, what company is going to do that...

Maybe they will. Sonys recent history shows they will proceed with a good thing even if it means non-exclusive. An IP like Wolverine can’t be cheap unless maybe included in the Spider-Man movie deals between Sony and Disney.

Update - seems its not coming to Xbox. Glad I have a PS then.

Yeah. Where were Naughty Dog and SuckerPunch? I especially wanted to see what was next from SP, as I was hoping to see the return of inFamous.

No Factions is crazy. That should have been an absolute bare minimum reveal.

I can't really comment on Sucker Punch. They're still okay in my eyes.

Naughty Dog needs a shakeup however. Jonathan Cooper was right to get out of that shithole.

I'm excited but I think this is one of those "announced way too early" things. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see it until 2025. Spider-Man 2 at least had 2023 on it.

Edit: Maybe earlier. I think Insomniac has at least 2 teams considering how close Miles Morales and Ratchet came out together.

"Square Enix hold my beer"
-Insomniac

Man this is going to make Square look bad, and hopefully Disney pulls whatever deal they have with them. First Avengers, then Guardians of the Galaxy. It's clear Square needs to get kicked to the curb.

Button masher? You're using that term about as correctly as people use the term "walking simulator".

There's a difference between a game not being overly difficult on Normal and being a button masher.
That's the description retards default to when they don't know wtf they're taking about.

Didn’t Microsoft get lots of flak for CGI trailers recently?

I have to say though they have gave this to the right team and I look forward to seeing what they do with it

Remind me again what you liked at the conference?
God of War and Spider-Man but I don't soyface off of them.

When they announced Wolverine I thought it was Spider-Man. There's a lot of characters out there ripe for the picking but they pick Logan?

Ah well at least Marvel are using X-Men again because they were in IP jail for a loooong time with Fox having them.

Busy making games? Different studios have different process. Insomniac is a very efficient studio though and have proven so many times compared to a lot of studios.

Insomniac just released Miles Morales and Rift Apart.

They just announced 2 new games which means they're in churn and burn mode. They're not looking to reinvent any wheels right now when Spider Man has been taking in the dough.
Honestly it makes sense. Who pumps out games this fast unless they're all closely related and use similar tech that can be overlapped.

Anyway, hopefully its very dark and at least sets itself apart in tone if not gameplay.

Do Insomniac have 2 or 3 teams?

Spiderman 2 likely started before Miles Morales. Im guessing the Ratchet team will move on to Wolverine?

Hopefully Wolverine isn't too cartoony. I actually think the IP would fit Naughty Dog better

Here for it... but Spider-Man is about swinging and navigating and upgrades/tech (which they nailed), and Wolverine has to be about combat. So I hope they have a really fun combat system, it's going to need it to deliver on the promise of this kind of game.

A spammy rhythm fighter like Spider-Man isn't going to cut it here.

Sounds like the miles morales creative director is working on it. So maybe team 2

Miles Morales is team 2 led by the director of the Tomb Raider reboot.

Both only released a major game last year and SP just released an expansion

But ND absence is notable. Seemed like in years past they were ready to announce their next project months after the last one came out

They might as well hand Sony all of Marvel Licences for all their characters and create a MCU for the Games. Square Enix is fucking things up. Imagine having the Avengers and GOTG license and fucking it up like they are.
This. I said during the show that Marvel games are becoming the new COD for me. I tune out everytime I see a trailer for them. Then Wolverine and Spidey2 were announced, and i instantly perked up. I only care because Insomniac has proven that they can handle a superhero game.

I thought we hated CGI trailers for games that were years out.

I take it they are cool again now?

Surprise of the year.

Now whats your move Microsoft?

I'm honestly surprised about how nonchalant Microsoft is. Disney is whoring its biggest IPs out like the whores they are, and so far MS hasn't signed a licensing agreement for any of them. They only inherited Indiana Jones because it was already a done deal between Bethesda and Lucas.

God daymn, cant fucking wait. Logan is one of my favorite marvel heroes. I hope there is plenty of gore and viscera, no one wants a t rated wolverine game. A wolverine game thats like a more combat focused version of the last of us could be incredible

I’m not at all. It’s all there for everyone to see. They talk all day about where you can play and how you can play.

For all the money and boasting, they are not ahead of the curve when it comes to what you play.

To me it feels like Gamepass is the current leaderships saving grace. That and backwards compatibility the go to defence tactic .

The games deal between Marvel Games and SIE has absolutely nothing to do with the deal between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures. In the latter case even Disney and Sony Japan to resign it in 2019.

Cant say on my end if they’re related. But I wouldn’t take it as gospel they aren’t. Don’t the sides have common parent companies? And somehow this game was kept secret so . . .
