Okay. Spiderman does not get to be part of the equation in my book for one game in the 4th generation of PS consoles.

Spiderman was fairly big on the psone, had some incredible PS2 games, the PS3 font was literally "the spiderman font" and ..... SONY OWN SPIDERMAN.

 

compare that to "a car from Forza" on the MS mountain, those things are licensed cars belong to places like Ferrari, I mean, sure they're in Forza, they're also in Gran Turismo or Gear Club on the playstation or Switch.... they're also cars, they're found on roads not exclusively made by MS.

All those other Spiderman games you talk about aside from the newest, Sony had absolutely no hand in. They were developed by Treyarch/Beenox, published by Activision, and on multiple systems too.

And are we actually gonna put it on a mountain based on a font? Which they ditched only a couple years in anyways? That font, at least to me, signifies the bad times of Playstation, like the "get a second job" and "599" times. Their comeback began with the font change.

Sony owning the movie right has nothing to do with the latest insomniac game.  The game rights are owned by Marvel, so if we're talking in those terms, (which we are), Spiderman is NOT owned by Sony.

So just like Forza Cars, Spiderman is liscensed as well. Spiderman has comics, merch, and movies, and is NOT exclusive to playstation.

Insomniac's Spiderman is the first Sony WWS made and published Spiderman game. While Forza has cemented itself a premier exclusive series for Microsoft (something that is few and far between for them nowadays) of consistent quality throughout 11 releases (except one).

That's not to say that Spiderman 2 or 3 or 4 won't be good. Infact, I think Insomniac is an excellent developer and will take the series to even greater heights.  Though as of now, one game is one game, and Ratchet is way more deserving of that spot on the mountain.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
