Forums - Gaming Discussion - Rumor: Sony is making its own Spiderman game for PS4. Could Sucker Punch be the developer?

This firend of mine had lots of Spiderman games for his PS2 and when we were kids we had a great time playing them. Honestly now I don't know if a Spiderman game can be good/playable...

Yeah. Spiderman 2 was solid fun. I don't know if a Sucker Punch Spidey game could work. But I hope.

New hint from Shuhei Yoshida on twitter.



Sucker Punch is the best dev to make a Spiderman game. But I also want a sequel to Second Son.



Spider man back on ps2 days was pretty sick, if they can make a current gen game that's like that but better they'll have my money.

I wonder if it's for the new Spider-man movie.

Not if it's published by Sony, Activision has the license for that http://investor.activision.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?releaseid=180674



Sucker Punch Productions would definitely be a great fit for this, but I don't think there's been any actual leaks as such for this, just some speculation based on the fact that Spidey is a super hero, that there hasn't been a new game done well for a long time and the fact that Sucker Punch makes good super hero games or games with people who have super powers.

Personally I think it would be more interesting to see Sucker Punch make something new, be it a new IP or a new Infamous game.
They teased about taking their formula into a modern Ninja setting just after Infamous Second Son came out.

From what Scott Rhode has said whatever they're working on is only just beginning to be formed into a cohesive game, with some future promise, but I don't think it's really ready to be shown yet, so I'm kinda thinking it's not Spider Man, just something fresh from either the Infamous Series or a new IP, most likely the latter considering Scott kinda pointed to that being the case.

I think any new Spider Man game will likely be a movie tie-in to Homecoming, released as a Multiplat on PC, PS4 and XBox One, maybe NX in 2017 when the film releases.
Maybe Actision will have a developer work on that.

This whole Spider-Man/Sucker Punch thing seems like a bit of wishful thinking.
I guess if Sony owned the rights to publish the Spider-Man games then it would make sense for them to put the best studio they had on making a game.
Maybe it will happen, I'm just not so sure and without some kind of leak from a legit source like Shinobi602 or Verendus I'm not convinced this will happen.

E3 should be interesting this year though.

I agree with both.

1: I'd rather see a new IP from Sucker Punch as well but between this rumor and sequel to Infamous I'd actually be quite interested to see what they can do with Spidey.

2: It's true. We don't have any leaks per se and I'd be surprised to see a licensed Spidey game going exclusive especially with Activision owning the rights. Though if this turns out not true, I just don't get why the hints seem to be in line with each other. It's either true or a great prank imo.

 

A: Stephen Oyoung's online portfolio mentioned working with Sony on an unannounced Spider-Man game but the reference to Spider-Man was quickly removed. Could this have been removed to avoid a premature announcement?

B: Shuhei Yoshida recently tweeted a picture of stacked Spider-Man noodles after never having shown any interest in the IP. Could this mean that Sony Interactive Entertaintment have plans with the IP?

C: We know for a fact that Sucker Punch is developing an unannounced PS4 game featuring 3rd person melee combat and unique clothing laid out into patterns for compelling characters. Could this sound like a Spider-Man game? Could it sound like any other game?

D: The twitter user that leaked bearded Kratos in Norse mythology before we got the concept art recently tweeted: "Sony is working at 'Untitled Spiderman PS4 project'. Trailer incoming (E3 2016?)." Could this user know something or is it just pure trolling?

E: Sony decided to collaborate to secure a high quality and cohensive Spider-Man universe even though it meant that Marvel would get a cut of the profits. Could this "universe" also include games? Could Activision approve this if they'd receive a cut just like Marvel (Disney)?
