CEO Bobby Kotick tells it like it is.

by Jim Reilly

January 19, 2010 - It appears Activision is looking to revitalize its Spider-Man gaming franchise.

In an interview inside the latest issue of Game Informer, CEO Bobby Kotick admitted the last couple Spider-Man games haven't been living up to fans' expectations.

"Our Spiderman games have sucked for the last five years. They are bad games," Kotick said.

"They were poorly rated because they were bad games. We went away from what is Spider-Man. It's about web-slinging. If you don't do web-slinging right, what is the fantasy of Spider-Man?"

Spider-Man Web of Shadows, Activision's last Spidey title, garnered mediocre reviews, while Spider-Man: Friend or Foe and Spider-Man 3 were also below average titles.

Details have been slim, but Activision confirmed in a financial call over the summer that the publisher plans to release a new Spider-Man title sometime in 2010. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows developer Shaba Gameswill not be developing the new title as Activision announced the closing of the studio this past October.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step.

Spider-Man 2 was a pretty good game, though.

Spider-Man 2 on gamecube was amazing!!!

But that wasn't released in the past 5 years (I think it wasn't) so he's right

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

C'mon Treyarch... do another Spider-Man 2/Ultimate Spider-Man?

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Spider-Man was one of the best games on the Atari 2600!

No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

I heard Web of Shadows was decent, but I just can't bring myself to try it after getting burned by Spider-man 3.
