Insomniac’s first dive into the superhero genre has been a positive experience. The acclaimed developer of titles like Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, and Sunset Overdrive made another massive leap by creating one of the best superhero games with Marvel’s Spider-Man. However, how does it stack up against the final game in the acclaimed Batman Arkham series? Widely regarded as the best superhero franchise of all time does Marvel’s Spider-Man outshine the final installment in the Batman: Arkham series or will Insomniac need to step up in the game’s eventual sequel? Let’s find out.
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...
Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
One way or another, these games provoked strong reactions.
I don't think Days Gone divided fans. For the most part, gamers loved it. It was the reviewers who were divided. Self-loathing racist pieces of shit that took exception to the main character being white. This was a fantastic game, one of the best open-world games I ever played, and I've played them all.
For the most part, when it comes to Last of Us 2, incels, homophobes, and closet national socialist types didn't like it. I repeat not all, but most.
Days Gone is a great game and it was attacked by the leftist socialist people that are actually closet fascists. As a great poet once said: "Socialism is the mother of fascism."
The Order got hit from anti-Sony Xbox fans.
Out of these 3, Last of Us 2 stands above as being a work of art. It's still generating a ton conversation to this day.
Amazing gameplay, but TLOU2 had one of the worst, most convoluted and uneccessary plots I ever seen in a sequel. Terrible story and the characters were forgettable. I didn't give an F about anyone in the story.
I don't think any of these divided fans, other than LoU2. The rest were either victims of biased reviews or just generally agreed that they weren't as good as they could've been or just overall disappointing.
Saad from eXputer: "After the rise of Rocksteady and its fall with post-Suicide Squad, I'm worried about Marvel's Spider-Man suffering a similar fate."
Why? According to the well publicized Insomniac leaks they have a slew of plans for Spiderman including its sequel.
Insomniac still has a good generation left in them before they get cannibalized by investors. It'll probably happen around the mid PS6 gen, when we see the beginning of the fall.
Huh with this article? If Sony and Insomniac want to abandoned the Spider-Man franchise and make a half baked, live service Spider-Man game, and miss the mark with their fans, then God bless’em!!!!
Seems unlikely when they abandoned the GaaS spiderverse game but are still going ahead with single player games like Wolverine and Spider-Man 3.
I adore the Arkham series! I love the three main games for different reasons but Spider-Man is well Spectacular, Amazing and Superior! The good thing is I have both!
Arkham Knight is a real awesome game I enjoyed it every bit, but spiderman is a much better game imo, the city being alive with pedestrians, combat etc makes it a better experience
Spidey did the "Arkham" formula better in my opinion.
Obviously Spider-Man because it doesn’t force you into a car every so often
I would say that Spider-man has better combat and traversal . Web slinging is awesome and the gadget use is basically required on hardest difficulty. The enemies also have a wider range imo. But, both are unique with their atmosphere and each do make you feel like the hero.
