Cool, no excuses not to have them then

Eonjay164d ago

After finding out Spiderman cost $315 million, I think its safe to assume that everything they make going forward will come to PC... because money lol.

Zeref164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

In one of the leaked documents it revealed plans for them to go multiplatform(excluding xbox of course) like Xbox has been doing.

isarai164d ago

Ok? That's quite literally how most decisions are made in the corporate environment. That's like saying "all it takes is a click of a button to buy a digital game" you're focusing on the most mundane part of the decision making process as if that's the only part that matters.

phoenixwing164d ago

isarai stop using common sense. you're supposed to act like a child and be impressed about emails.

shinoff2183164d ago

Uh mine also requires a password

Software_Lover164d ago

Mine also requires a form of payment.

MetalGearsofWar164d ago

Do you have a source for that information?

isarai164d ago

I work a corporate job, it's not that mysterious 😑

thesoftware730164d ago

So will it be day 1? If so, why would anyone need a PS?

Just using the logic that N4G has been saying for years now.

Sony think I recall Sony saying they wouldn't go that route, will they back-peddle on their word once again?

shinoff2183164d ago

Like companies have never back peddled before. The Xbox one was full of back peddles

thesoftware730164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

Haha, so that makes it ok in your book...smh.

You guys have a distorted view of things. If you didn't like it when one company did it, you shouldn't like it when another does the same. They shouldn't get a pass, additionally you never touched on the part about not needing a PS5 if all the games go to PC day one, you wanna back-peddle that Hot take about console now, don't you.

You make the worst possible argument, that almost sounds childish.."other do it, so it's ok if they do too".

maniacmayhem164d ago

Or maybe just intentionally hold back on releasing the PC versions for year. Which is just wild to me if that was the case.

PRIMORDUS164d ago

"any port that requires less than $30 million to develop only requires email approval to get funded"
Looks like The Last of Us on PC was a hell of a lot less, it was clearly not ready at all when it was released, and it needed way more time. Stop releasing unfinished games period.

gold_drake164d ago

so, it works like in actual businesses then haha.

This is bad for them as we know they were already in marvel hell with there schedule but now they are never getting out with these sales.

Some poor sob over there is like hey can we do infamous remaster collection? then gets yelled at thrown to a desk made to work on spiderman 3 or some shit for the the next 3 years.

This also gave sweet baby inc more support they helped with the sotry and she hulk aka marry jane so why not make the next spiderman game with gwen but her powers only work after she attends lgbqt rallies fear the power of queer right's bad guys.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Just had a thought make a new super hero with the power of rainbows that come out of the wrist jerk of men to supercharge the attack.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Just making up bullsht off the top of yer head huh?

andy852d ago (Edited 2d ago )

"These sales" like it's a tiny number? It's sold what Spiderman 1 did on the PS4 in the same timeframe and that was labelled a huge success and there was 100 million PS4s out there at that time...compared to 50m PS5. Selling the same amount is nothing short of amazing. What a strange post

just_looken2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Wow sound the trumpit defend them asap right?

I know 2023 was along time ago but there was a ransomware attack remember?
https://www.polygon.com/240...

So yeah they are marvel game maker slaves

"these sales" means these sales there could have been a slight tiny glimmer of hope they might make something else instead of another spiderman game with the same combat same map same dei story but nope they are now defiantly going to make another one.

and yes sweetbabyinc helped with the story/characters
https://sweetbabyinc.com/

But i get it everyone loves the nerfed bitch version of parker sense very few played/watched anything before the Spectacular days were over.

P_Bomb2d ago

“…make a new super hero with the power of rainbows that come out of the wrist jerk of men to supercharge the attack.”

Wow! Anyways…

@Just_lookin

LOL

What did I just read? This news is hitting you hard. I just wish I could watch your face as you typed your homophobic rant. Also, maybe an English class would be time well spent.

On Topic:
Congrats to Insomniac.

Hofstaderman2d ago

House of Mouse be looking at that upcoming Blade game with certain expectations.....

romulus232d ago

If we look past the fact you're just making up a bunch of BS, we can see very clearly your comment is immature and reeks of insecurities. It's pure trolling and adds nothing to the conversation so just give it a rest.

VersusDMC2d ago

Why would insomniac want to do a infamous remaster collection if Sucker Punch are the original developers?

just_looken2d ago

A round of applause for everyone here

I give links i speak the truth but of course defend defend defend

I know they did not make infamous but all this team has done is the same dam ip except one great ratchet/clank game that we will never get a squeal or any dlc

But i get it you all want spiderman every year then a half ass marvel mobile game every 2nd year.

Again any real spiderman fan knows how muich they changed the charecter/lore/powers for the modern audiance if this was the real spiderman he would have radioactive blood like until the mid 2013's and kill marry jane.

Amn the next game from this "studio" is going to have so many dei / microtrancactions in it oof

Philaroni2d ago

Is that you Obsucre? Assuber?

outsider16242d ago

@just looken

Yeah i want another spiderman. So???

If rocksteady can make 3 Batman games. Sucker punch with 3 infamous,

Why can't Insomniac have 3 Spiderman games.

Thank God you're the minority.

mkis0072d ago

Acting like dev's aren't tied to a franchise for a while. Gears for Coalition, Halo for 343, Turn 10 has forza, playground has forza... Insomniac making 3 Spiderman games so far (with a ratchet in between fyi) doesn't even register as enough let alone too many. They are making the games they want to. It was not forced upon them.

Why would they want out of this success? Most devs would do anything for sales like this. Do you not have pride in the work you do?

MrDead2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

"This also gave sweet baby inc more support they helped with the sotry and she hulk aka marry jane so why not make the next spiderman game with gwen but her powers only work after she attends lgbqt rallies fear the power of queer right's bad guys."

Crazy right-wing snowflakes like Tim Pool have broken you with outrage media and "fear of the other". Tater Tots need to go outside and live in the real world, don't be scared... unless you're just projecting and this is some sort of Steven Crowder or Nick Fuentes situation, it's ok to be confused about you're attraction to the same sex, just go with it and you'll find you will be a happier person.

BlackOni2d ago

This is the most incel fake outrage sad shit I've seen all morning.

Congrats to making yourself look like an absolute tool while inexcusably and unnecessarily attacking the LGBTQ community.

On topic, congrats to Insomniac. Amazing game, amazing experience, and makes me hopeful for the new Wolverine Game. Would love to also see a Storm or Captain Marvel game.

Michiel19891d 20h ago

why the hell would insomniac work on an infamous remaster collection? They are one of the most talented studios in the world and you want them to do remasters?

With a game called Spider-Man and made by Insomniac………..is anyone really surprised??? Congrats to them on their continued excellence in game crafting.

Congrats to insomniac on another hit showing proof that it was a right move to be acquired by Sony unlike others developers getting closed or afraid of going on the chopping block.

I wonder how Wolverine will do once released?

Hofstaderman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Ummmm....maybe even better? We guaranteed a decent Wolverine game and with the success of Xmen 94 the franchise has now entrenched itself with a younger audience. My kids stopped watching 94 and went back to the OG series and they love it.

DarXyde2d ago

Not as well as Spider-Man, I would think. I think it still does great, but based on the footage we weren't supposed to see yet, Spider-Man seems more accessible (not to disregard he's also just more popular than Logan).

But who knows? If the game drops in close enough proximity to Deadpool and Wolverine and/or a new season of X-Men '97, we could be surprised.

Cacabunga2d ago

Wolverine will be a much more mature game.. also popularity wise spiderman is bigger.
On the other hand it might attract players who do not like spiderman kind of super heroes.

I enjoyed xmen origins Wolverine on PS3 very much it had great gameplay!

MagUk1d 23h ago

To be honest I brought the original spider man. While the game play mechanics were excellent and very enjoyable I was put off by how childish the story felt, I probably only played it for a couple of hours at most before it got way too cringy for me.

ChasterMies1d 21h ago

Spider-man makes more money from licensing than any other comic book character. So don’t expect Wolverine to sell as well.

Cacabunga1d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

Wolverine will target a completely different audience

5 PlayStation Exclusive Games That Look Better Than Hellblade 2

The Nerd Stash: "Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 has some of the best graphics on Xbox, but there are PlayStation games that look even better."

PrinceOfAnger7d ago

Lol some sony fans now disagreeing with DF !?
They said :
Hellblade 2 is a defining moment in the evolution of real-time graphics".

(The Next Level in Real-Time Visuals)

Game
Takes advantage of everything UE5 offers
- Final game 'lives up to the lofty expectations' of the 2019 reveal
- Character rendering sets new standards and nearly resembles movie sequences with actual actors
- Leverages Unreal's Meta Human 5 to bypass the uncanny valley feel
- DF were left guessing whether some cut-scenes were in-game or real life footage (photo mode shows they're all real time)

Right now nothing on PS looks better than HB2.

PrinceOfAnger7d ago

5 PlayStation Exclusive Games" also on PC..
so what Exclusive? No one here confesses and accepted the word "Console exclusive". they were making jokes about it!
😂

PrinceOfAnger7d ago

@FTLmaster

Sony fans were making jokes first about the word " Console exclusive" here and on other sites.
Now they use the word by themselves.
Lol

P_Bomb7d ago

I write console exclusive all the time. I use it in Xbox’s favor too. Those are the games I generally go after over there.

MrDead7d ago

Now I understand who these articles are written for.

Just buy and support the game so MS doesn't shut down Ninja Theory.

S2Killinit6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

You cant really talk when xbox has all its games released elsewhere. Not a good look.

Cacabunga6d ago

HB2 on PS5 will look better than HB2..
And even with that i won’t buy it

This article says Bloodborne and Ghost of Tsushima has better graphics than Hellblade 2 i'm done! 🤣

VenomUK6d ago

Of course! But that doesn't make it invalid.

I haven't been playing too much recently except a bit of Dave the Diver (retro pixel art). But if this has the best graphics then I definitely want to see so will download it for my XSX and start the game. If I had more time I'd play through the first one first.

S2Killinit6d ago

DF can talk from its arse all it wants. I’m sure they are spending their advertising money wisely.

DivineHand1255d ago

I was under the impression Microsoft didn't have any marketing for this game. I also don't need to be paid to say Hellblade 2 is the most photo realistic game on consoles ever made.

Nacho_Z6d ago

People are free to disagree with DF, it's debatable how impartial they are.

The article is a bit of a stretch though. Hellblade has an open goal graphically because it's using the latest tech on small areas with crap framerate so the fidelity is through the roof. It's not impressive to me personally but it's an achievement that shouldn't be denied.

S2Killinit6d ago

Yes. But then a picture can be extremely beautiful but you cant really play it. Hellblade must be beautiful but it has low frames, and its pretty much on rails so it does not really impress me personally.

Information Minister6d ago

I've been subscribed to DF's YouTube channel since before their videos were even narrated and I tell you no debate is necessary about how impartial they are.

DF has clearly had some level of proximity with Microsoft since the launch of the Xbox One X. They haven't exactly tried to hide either. Their coverage/damage control for Starfield was quite blatant.

So yes, people on all camps are free to disagree with DF's opinions.

That aside, this particular article is complete flamebait.

neutralgamer19926d ago (Edited 6d ago )

what good are graphics when rest of the game is a walking sim (coming from a pc fan) if it's only about graphics than any game can push the boundary but that's without much gameplay

to me gears of war 5 is more impressive because it had the graphics and gameplay to back it up, just like uncharted 2 back in the day. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is also up there.

SGT_Squirrel6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I don't understand people. Both the PS5 and Xbox one X are great machines. I own both and could care less which system has a game that is marginally better looking than the other. Yes, Hellblade 2 is the best-looking console game right now, but it isn't a huge leap over what the PS5 has. Since I am not tied to one company's console, I see things differently I guess.

Abear215d ago

Agreed, plus traditionally all PS exclusives are third person action and everything on Xbox is usually FPS.

Let’s talk gameplay people, you know, that thing that actually matters? I remember Gamepro would rate “Fun Factor” in their reviews—is the game actually fun to play?!

If this was the judging method, and not resolution and “bespoke tech” that digital foundry wants you to be obsessed with, than Dave the Diver is my GOTY so far (ps5)

itsmebryan6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Grasping at straws to make a positive Playstation story. Too bad they can't talk about AAA first party games. Because "PS5 has NO GAMES!!!" Why can't people just be honest. HB2 looks amazing.

Abear215d ago

Woah there little fella, you are way lost in what is no longer reality, hope you left bread crumbs

Sonic18816d ago

Horizon is West definition looks better than Hellblade 2

darthv727d ago

Okay, I've played all of those, and they looked good for their time. This game just takes realism to a whole other level. some would even say uncanny valley-esq at times.

Maybe that's why people are having a hard time with this game... its almost too real and makes them uneasy about it.

Bathyj6d ago

I doubt that's it. The game has woorde problems than that.

darksky6d ago

The game is a walking simulator with tech demo graphics. Nothing special at all.

Flewid6384d ago

Next gen graphics are always special, even when the game is bad.

rlow17d ago

lol, really???? The title sounds so desperate. Those games are excellent but not in the same league.

ravens526d ago

..."not in the same league graphics wise*" Fixed it so you don't sound too crazy. Also not sure its in "another league" but I haven't seen it in person so 🤷🏽 idk.

ravens526d ago

All of those games on that list are literally objectively BETTER GAMES than Hellblade 2.

S2Killinit6d ago

I would say those games are on a much higher level because Hellblade is a game made to look great but its not on par when it comes to how it is linear with small playing areas and low frames. Anyone can do that, but is it a good game? No.

JackBNimble5d ago

If this is an argument, then yeah , this is desperation. Why do you sonyboys even care? The market always dictates, besides last I checked (as a ps5 owner) sony exclusives are few and far between, at least anything worth playing that is. And if I can play it on ps4 I'm not too then I'm not calling it exclusive.

Chevalier5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

You make it sound like Xbox has so much more games than Playstation, but, they have far fewer. Playstation has far more better 3rd party exclusives filling the gap too.

Chirping about Playstation when Xbox gets a game ever like 3 years worth talking about is idiotic. Would take the most recent FF, Gran Blue Relink and Stellar Blade over Xbox poor offerings any day of the week. Death Stranding 2 and Silent Hill look more interesting than HB2.

JackBNimble5d ago

No, that's not what I'm saying. The point is this is such a petty non argument yet you sonyboys just take the bait and bitch regardless. Xbox is dying but you gotta keep claiming how great your corporate brand is.

Must be another zero news week

Chevalier5d ago

Then why feed the fire then? Lol. Hellblade 2 is barely a game. The 1st one we literally had a ton of Xbox fans call it a walking simulator when it was timed exclusive to Playstation. Now people are reiterating similar sentiments about the 2nd game when it's much of the same with minimal 'gameplay' and Xbox fans are offended.

Ironically the very same idiots chirping said that all Playstation games were just 'cinematic' experiences as a slight and now we got guys like you with the oh whoa is me like it wasn't expected?! Lol. Seriously idiotic

MrDead7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

...now I remember why I hate gaming media, it's because 99.9% are like this article.

purple1016d ago

yeh, probably gonna have to wait for 'Death Stranding 2: On the beach', to get better environments and facial animation than this.

Yusi-D-Jordan5d ago

I honestly think Uncharted 4 was more visually impressive than Hellblade 2

purple1015d ago

Yeh there was a lot going on in uncharted
A lot of moving parts
Explosions
Jumping from planes
You could say it was the more accomplished game. Hellblade looks like god of war, but without the sick fighting,
