Spider-Man 2 creative director Bryan Intihar talks superheroes, PS5 and Insomniac's impressive run of releases.
At a recent visit of 11 bit studios, Wccftech got hands-on with Frostpunk 2 and spoke to the development team about it. Here's the exclusive Q&A.
Josh Sawyer is a name that has been familiar to RPG fans for decades. He's worked on Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights 2, Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and most recently Pentiment. How did he get into game development, how has his design philosophy changed over the years, and why did he decide to do Pentiment a little differently?
Those are some great games. Icewind Dale I & II are underrated.
If Larian made Icewind Dale III, I'd lose my mind.
What a fantastic, thorough interview.
Since launching in October 2023, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has sold 11 million copies.
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.
"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
Wow sound the trumpit defend them asap right?
I know 2023 was along time ago but there was a ransomware attack remember?

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

But i get it everyone loves the nerfed bitch version of parker sense very few played/watched anything before the Spectacular days were over.
“…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.
House of Mouse be looking at that upcoming Blade game with certain expectations.....
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.
Why would insomniac want to do a infamous remaster collection if Sucker Punch are the original developers?
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.
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.
And still not profitable. Yikes.
Good deal for Marvel though. 50% cut of everything, zero work.
“Brand new trolling account just made... YIKES”
Pay no mind to the obscured observer his account will be deleted as soon as the article go to the front page as his usualSPAM accounts 🤣
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?
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?
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.
Glad to read this 🦍
Sums it up pretty much.
When you're happy outside of work and happy going to work, it becomes a cakewalk. Insomniac has shown before becoming 1st party and after, that they can bake a lot of tasty cakes and still have more cooking in the oven. One of Sony's best acquisitions. They get whatever they need to succeed from Sony. And in turn, they produce high quality games.
Can't beat that "symbiotic" relationship... did I just say that? Lol. Spider-Man 2 should do very well for both parties.
would love to see what they can cook up for VR2. Maybe a new resistance game some time after wolverine...?
Looking forward for another Ratchet and Clank game without Rivet. also without it being Open World.
“So we are always evolving and challenging ourselves to get better. Miles Morales had a better production process than Spider-Man 1. Ratchet & Clank had better production process than Miles. We are always evaluating and improving. Have we perfected it? No. But we are always asking how we can make the process better for everybody.
We are honest with ourselves that we don't do everything perfect, and that allows us to have that open mind about how we can be better. Not just in terms of making the game better, but also to feel better about coming to work every day. We will be learning a lot from this project as well.”
THIS! This shows a bit why Insomniac continues to release game after game, with top notch quality besting their previous work, and it’s much respected and appreciated by many, I’m sure.
Knowing they’ll be learning a lot from Spider-Man 2 and improving that all the more for the 3rd game or maybe a new IP is exciting, especially considering how bloody fantastic Spider-Man 2 looks, and not just from a visual standpoint.
