Hulk Should Be the Next Star of an Insomniac Superhero Game

With Insomniac Games working on Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Marvel's Wolverine, a Hulk game would make sense as the next title in the series.

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.

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_Mal3h ago

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

andy852h ago(Edited 2h 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_looken2h ago(Edited 2h 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.

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.

Hofstaderman1h ago

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

romulus231h 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.

VersusDMC1h ago

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

just_looken1h 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

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

1Victor3h ago

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.

Marvellepus3h ago

Nobody tell him Sony just closed studios and laid off insomniac staff 💀

gleepot1h ago

My dude, insomniac was already hit with layoffs.

Marvellepus5h ago

And still not profitable. Yikes.

Good deal for Marvel though. 50% cut of everything, zero work.

Brand new trolling account just made... YIKES

Well come on..enlighten us, Marvellepus, show us these facts. Bring us the financial loss..lets hear it.

@MarvellepusOBSCUREDOBSERVER “And still not profitable. Yikes.”
What is profitable in your OBSCURED eyes?

Lol he got annoyed that people called out he spends his time making troll accounts.

Wow! If true...that person has some serious mental issues...lol!

Abnor_Mal2h ago

Didn’t Sony just make it known that this is the most profitable generation of the PlayStation platform with PS5 making $106 billion dollars in sales?

Marvellepus2h ago

And that means Spider-Man was profitable?

Abnor_Mal1h ago

Where’s your proof that it wasn’t profitable? You bring facts right?

repsahj1h ago

11m still not profitable? How about the new game with less than 4k players on steam?

I wonder how Wolverine will do once released?

Hofstaderman1h ago(Edited 1h 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.

Avowed Moved to Unreal Engine 5.3

With Support from The Coalition

Read Full Story >>
gamingbolt.com
ThinkThink1d 7h ago

That's great news. Hopefully the Coalition can smooth some of those edges from the last Avowed reveal.

phoenixwing1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you. I was ok with it and hoping to actually play it sometime soon. Now it's like 99% chance it's delayed.
Edit: effing graphics whores

Obscure_Observer19h ago

"Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you."

What the hell are you talking about dude? Avowed was already in development using the UE5. The Coalition is just helping Obsidian in the transition to its latest version (5.3)

MrBaskerville18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Probably not even that big of a difference. Coalition might only have helped because they got a deadline to meet.

Unreal isn't nearly as bad as Unity when you update a project. Though it obviously depends on the project. But unity generally gets an aneyurism if you threaten to update, where Ue is usually less stingy.

Reaper22_18h ago

In excited for Avowed and Gears 6.

Fishy Fingers19h ago

It already was Unreal 5, its just moving to the latest build.

CantThinkOfAUsername10h ago

Latest build is 5.4 and it's better than previous iterations, particularly in animation and performance.

Lightning771d 3h ago

Apparently the latest build looks way better graphically. This rumor from Jez Cordin (who's credible) pretty much confirms it.

Interested in seeing more on Avowed in a few weeks.

Notellin18h ago

UE 5.3 has been out since September of last year. I can't believe this is news or that anyone is hyping this up.

MrNinosan18h ago

As Hellblade failed to set the world on fire, just like Halo Infinite and Starfield before it, it's time to look forward to the next Game of the Decade candidate.
Of course it needs to be hyped up ahead of time 😏

Notellin11h ago

I didn't mean the game itself. I can't believe there is a news article about an Unreal Engine update that launched a year ago.

Reading comprehension is tough for fanboys on N4G.

got_dam2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

@MrNinosan I just want to see what Obsidian can do with a real budget and development time. They have a made a some memorable games with massive time constraints an lackluster funding.

--Onilink--56m ago

Many games stick to a specific version of the Engine they had already been using to avoid delays, problems with migrations to newer stuff etc.
The version being released in September isnt really relevant, just that they decided to make the jump to it at some point in development, which is arguably good news since we know with each iteration, performance has been getting much better

truthBombs18h ago

I liked the games unique artstyle when It was revealed. I hope they're not making the migration based on criticism. It's only a rumor anyways

MrBaskerville18h ago

I imagine the art style will stay the same. But there'll probably be some visual upgrades here and there.

anast17h ago

This was the only game I was jealous of, but It's a wait and see game now. Plus, I can wait until they release it on PSN.

Miraak82 16h ago

Right!!! Obsidian is like only XB GS that I wanna play there games . Pillars of Eternity is one of my fav game franchises and I'd love to step back into the world of Eora . Their world building and rpg systems are one of the best , I hope XB higher ups don't get in the way of them. If they released it on ps I would definitely buy it day 1

anast14h ago

I bought both Pillars for PC and Console. Good games.

Steam Account Transfer Via Will on Death is Not Permitted, Valve Confirms

In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.

anast1d 13h ago

The games are theirs. People just pay to ride the ride.

Skuletor20h ago

Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway

Kornholic20h ago

This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.

So where is the outcry?

Skuletor20h ago

It's not like PlayStation is doing any different.

"You may not sell, buy, trade, or transfer your Online ID, Account or any personal access to PSN Services through any means or method, including by use of web sites."
https://www.playstation.com...

Kornholic42m ago

So you are that saying Steam is being very anti consumer with its policies. That's why I'm so baffled by the lack of outcry from the PC audience.

NotoriousWhiz19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

It's not like your account just stops working when you die. Include your email, account id, and password in the will (including the password to your email) and your survivors should have no problem using your games.

anast17h ago

PC gamers are a different lot. They don't mind renting their games forever, they don't mind spending money on overpriced equipment, and they don't mind fiddling with settings for hours before they even play the game, but linking a PSN account demands a riot. This is hard to understand, but then again, we all have to draw our lines somewhere.

Skuletor17h ago

You sure talk a lot of nonsense.Go look up the percentage of digital sales compared to physical sales of PS5 games, then tell me again about "renting" games.

mandf16h ago

Overblown funny and 100percent true

anast15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

There is no option at all to buy a physical copy of a PC game... And more people game on consoles for the reasons that make PC gamers a different lot.

VIK212114h ago

it's not so much the linking but the fact that certain countries aren't allowed to access psn...

VIK212114h ago

@anast I have a disc ps5 since launch, initially I bought some disc games, but I can't be bothered to walk to a physical store nowadays... I just buy the titles when they go on special sale or gray market store like CDKeys...

DustMan14h ago

PSN was a different story altogether. It kept people who bought the game from playing in countries that PSN wasn't supported. I never understood the issue anyway.

I don't know if PC stuff is overpriced considering that you can buy a new video card with the same amount of money you'd spend over 5 or 6 years paying to play games online with a console. I'll never pay double to use the same connection. That is what I'll never understand about console gamers. "let me pay an extra hundred & twenty dollars a year to use the same internet I pay for monthly and use on literally every device in my home for free....except for my Playstation"

Extermin8or3_13h ago

@Skuletor about 50-60% of sales are digital for most games. Meaning 40-50% are physical....

anast13h ago

@VIK

You might not but you are not the expectation that creates a universal.

Skuletor11h ago

@Extermin8or3_
Right and where are you getting that information from?
https://www.statista.com/st...

@anast

"Renting games"
In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2023, approximately 77 percent of Sony Corporation's PlayStation gaming sales were generated via digital downloads.

"overpriced equipment"
Some people are willing to pay a premium for better performance, the way you keep talking about the PS5 Pro on N4G proves you're a hypocrite in that regard but whatever, lol

"fiddling with settings for hours before they even play the game"
Most pc games will give the option to scan your system to choose recommended settings or start with moderate settings that will run the game fine but you're free to mess around at your own leisure, to improve performance or quality if you wish to. For those that don't want to, there's free software that can do that for you, such as Nvidia's Geforce or AMD's AMD Catalyst. Geforce Experience even gives you the option of choosing whether to prioritize performance vs image quality with a simple slider for easy optimization, it's not rocket science, like you try make it out to be.

"linking a PSN account demands a riot"
Playstation selling Helldivers 2 in regions without the legal means to create a PSN account by Sony's own standards, then telling people in those regions that already bought the game that they can no longer play the game, isn't a cause for concern? Though you've already heard about that but keep going along with your own narrative because of your weird vendetta against PC on here.

This is hard to understand, but then again, we all have to draw our lines somewhere.

PRIMORDUS7h ago

I don't rent I torrent to keep, if they take them down that's ok I don't care I have them LOL. I do buy PC games but very little as I want full control which is why I torrent to keep them in my collection, and I do not give a fuck what the devs or publishers want. I never did never will.
