Well sure maybe they could have assuming just throwing dev resources at spiderman 2 gets it out earlier, which isn't always the case.
Someone needs to ask grubb.
Really? I bought it. I thought most PS5 owners would have bought it as it was one of the only PS5 releases at the time.
Clearly Sony wanted Miles and Ratches to coincide with PS5's launch. I'm glad they did as they were both really good games.
I still don't get why people call Miles Morales DLC.

Spiderman 2>Wolverine>Sabretooth DLC >?>Wolverine 2.
That's a pretty ironic take considering that they developed a dozen of Ratchet and Clank games for 20 years straight. Oh the old good times /s
I am sorry, you are the one defending a last gen DLC that took 2 years of dev time over a brand new next gen sequel, and im the one with a bad take?
Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart was fantastic and gave me one of my most memorable family playthroughs ever, Insomniac is seriously one of my absolute fav devs because of this, almost nobody else does AAA games you can play while the kids are watching, they even localized it to swedish with top-tier voices as if it was a Disney movie for some reason I’ll never understand, it’s a tiny country. For me it was a 10/10.Clearly Sony wanted Miles and Ratches to coincide with PS5's launch. I'm glad they did as they were both really good games.

This is exactly how I feel. I hope Sony still allow them to keep making Ratchet games ( if they want to) since they are great games to pick up and just play when you don’t have much time on your hands. If they’re expanding and showed us that before the expansion they were able to give us Miles and Ratchet. I don’t see the issue with working on multiple products.
But also would have probably been cross gen and we wouldn’t hear the end of it. I’m not sure why it’s a bad thing they gave us more games and not less.
Yes they did need PS5 launch titles but Spiderman Miles was a last gen PS4 DLC title.
But why? It released in Fall 2018. 2 years before the PS5 launch. We already had gonzalo specs by then. Surely internal sony studios wouldve had them too. Bluepoint released SOTC in Februrary 2018 and went on to make a launch PS5 only game. Insomniac didnt have the luxury of making a remake so give them an extra year. maybe a year and a half and they still come out by mid 2022 instead of fall 2023.
A last gen running at 60 fps with RT is still a last gen game. I was playing those games on my PC in 2018. Doesnt make them next gen.
Sony sold massive amounts of Miles so again - where did they fuck up?
You have been in this forum long enough to know you don't release a game in 2.5 years. The game has been in development long before the first one came out. Insomniac is a well managed studio but they aren't magicians. They're working on multiple projects simultaneously in different stages of development with also great outsourcing support from Sony development pipeline.
2.5 years? Where did I say that. Spiderman released in Fall 2018. Fall 2021 would give them 3 years. I said Spring 2022 which wouldve given them 3.5 years. Id rather play a next gen Spiderman instead of a last gen DLC any day of the week. Dont really care if its selling well. Spiderman sold 30 million. Even if Miles sold 10 million, thats still 1/3rd of what the full game showed.
Well, yeah i thought this was gaf, not the wallstreet journal. I am speaking from a consumer point of view. You and I dont own Sony stock, we did both make a $500 investment in their next gen console. I dont know why either of us would be ok with getting a DLC over a full blown next gen exclusive 1-1.5 years instead of 3 years after launch.
Sigh. my entire point is that if they hadnt wasted two years on miles and another two years on ratchet, spiderman 2 wouldve been out earlier than 3 years after this gen started.
Spiderman is still under sony. Not marvel tho....
We regressed to this level of trolling now?
To be fair there was nowhere near enough PS5's available when it released. Given typical console attach rates this game probably performed better than expected.
Sorry, I forgot Miles was a next gen full fledged masterpiece.
TLL took 1 year. Not 2 like Miles. And I praised Miles too. It's a great game. I really dont know why you guys struggle to understand people who might have more than one opinion. I can like The Lost Legacy and still wouldve preferred TLOU2 a year earlier. I can like Ratchet and still think Sony shouldve axed it in favor of Spiderman 2 1-2 years earlier. Why does it have to be one or the other? 1 or 0? Call me non-binary lmao.
Why does it have to be to the hyperbolic extremes? Why could it not be a smaller well-made game that has a price that reflected it?
It is. Insomniac's 3rd team is working on a new AAA multiplayer IP.
It also keeps your staff busy, skill practiced and employed as you are in the concept/early build phase of the next several games.
Oooh, the most statistically significant measure of all time! A poll on an enthusiast forum!
You say it's not the wall street journal but have been arguing in favor of Spider-Man 2 by saying it would have sold more. Wut..
I know. Who gives a shit about the opinion of gaffers on gaf. We should poll reddit, twitter or times square instead.
