It sounds like he probably should've worked out a better deal, at that's what I think. Now the developer has a licence to play with, and he's losing out because he assumed the series wouldn't be a success. That's what I'm taking away, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Spidey himself looks fine, but the trash pile looks meh.

On one hand I'm not a Skrillex fan, on the other Square really can make great music. Wait and see.

Unless fighting games include it, it's not something that would really affect me. I think it's fine as an option, it's pretty much a bonus feature at best right now.

Warhawk was something that passed me by. I never heard of it until that one character was put into PS All Stars.

I would like it if Sony gave it another go. Original multiplayer games has been a weakness of theirs in terms of success.

I actually bought a carton of Dr. Pepper earlier today. Was only $4 though.

It probably wouldn't work for me anyway.

@ShogunRok Timed exclusivity never really clicked with me. I get it's for early profits, but if I know something's not exclusive, I'll just wait for it to come to whatever my system of choice is.

Good thing I'm waiting for an external drive before getting anymore PS4 games then, if this is true.

I'm cool with it. I might not make use of cross play, but I've never been against the idea. At the very least the bad PR is off their back.

At the end of the day, it's essentially a bonus feature.

I've been tired of the cross play debate for a while now. So much salt from all sides has been spilled. I'm just glad it's been halted for now. Who'd think cross console play would bring the worst out of everyone, eh?

I'm honestly surprised. Yeah, they kept using the same formula, but they still had some decent success. Guess it wasn't enough.

Thoughts for the recently unemployed. Hopefully they get new jobs fast.

@jdv95 I think there were even people on this site that the game wouldn't sell, at least not to the degree that it has, or even being in range of records. The reason usually being Spidey's iffy record with games, even though Batman had the same thing when Arkham Asylum released.

I'm trying not to kickstart more fanboy garbage, but I only bring it up because in a post Arkham world, a superhero game like Spider-Man, especially after the MCU's success, has every chance to succeed.

Not sure what to think. It's an impressive technical feat, but this may not translate to enjoyment. Wait and see, I suppose.

Can you see my surprised face?

I would love another attempt at a PlayStation handheld, but phones are apparently the hot stuff, and with the Switch, handheld gaming as we know it ain't the same.

I don't mean to sound like a typical braggart fanboy, but I wonder how much crow the people who honestly thought this wouldn't sell has eaten.

Does anyone else think the animation should be updated? I don't have a problem with it, but it does look a tad weird seeing the same sword animations from DMC3.

Looking forward to the game regardless.

Guh, my ears.

I'm not a massive metal guy, but DMC's music is usually something I can get down with because it fits the action. This I can't even see jamming to as a battle theme. Probably should have remixed "Taste The Blood" or something.

Definitely a disappointment after "Devil Trigger", which sounds and fits DMC much better.

Management is very important, it goes without saying. Bad management has been the catalyst of many mistakes and flops in gaming's history.

Tekken 3 still surprises me, but I'm not complaining. Been wanting to play that again.

If a Crash game is there, I swear it better not be the first one. The game is tocks compared to 2 and Warped.

Pretty cool. Not sure if I'd get it now, but it's nice to see it exist.

Surprised to see Tekken 3 would be on it. I thought it would never get another release due to the Gon thing.

I've always loved the series' boxarts. Another day 1 title for me too!

This probably just means my relatives would mistake every system in existence for a PlayStation.

I remember hearing about this in passing. I never got to try it.

I'm on the final act of the game, and while I am enjoying it very much. It feels very by-the-numbers. What makes this game great is that it gets the Spider-Man feel right. The combat, traversal, and most of the main story are excellent, making me feel like I am Spider-Man. It may not be anything we haven't seen before, but it's executed mostly well.

My gripes are the stealth missions as a civilian. Aside from two, they feel like a pacebreaker from the good stuff. The lack of truly interesting side missions is another. I was hoping it would be like the Arkham games and get some good villains with them, but so far there's only Tombstone (Great), Taskmaster (Yes), and....Screwball (Who?). Black Cat doesn't show up for hers, because DLC.

I'm also getting the feeling that the last act is (excuse my French) the game blowing it's wad too soon. It's like Arkham Knight without the three games of build up. I was also liking the idea of the big villain being a lesser proven guy like Mr. Negative, so I'm personally kinda iffy about the "twist" at the end of Act 2.

So far it's an 8/10. It's derivative, but not really that bad in this case. The fun factor and the Spidey feel are what make this game to me.

I'll likely follow up with a more detailed post after I finish the game in the forum OT if anyone's interested.

Looks great! All my favorites are here now.

This wouldn't be surprising if it wasn't the Japanese charts. Stuff like SNK Heroines would usually do well enough.

I guess Spidey is the true best girl.

What do you think?

Whenever I'm not working, Spider-Man.

Already bought it. Just got home with it.

I'm waiting for the DLC to go live, then me and my pals will slug it out.

I don't mind them, but I wonder if people worry about the score too much. I see a lot of guys going nuts over metacritic scores instead of the game's actual quality. I read reviews to get an idea of what to expect when I play a game. I personally find it hard to measure a game's value in a number.

So can we shut up about this now and play the game?

@LaNooch1978 You know, I was gonna make a Star Wars comparison, but I thought it would be too much. Probably isn't though when I think about it. So much blood over a dude in tights.

I say that as a longtime Spidey fan, by the way.

@PS_Nation Dude, it's just Kyle having some fun. Not really any different from the tongue-in-cheek "fanboyism" we take part in here. If he was really making tocks of himself, he would've been thrown out by now. We've known him long enough to see otherwise.

Have a chill drink on me. I mean, I'm probably nowhere near you in real life, but hey, it's the thought.

Real talk though: What is it with Spidey that brings the nerd rage outta everyone? Not just this game, but comics and film too. The tears could make a new ocean.

It took me two hours just to jot down the notes for the characters I play! This is one heck of an update.

Friday seems far away now..... I really can't wait to get my hands on that collector's edition.

I played this when I had a 360. It had it's niggles, but it was solid. I wouldn't mind having another go if this happened.

Very odd, considering there's a non-scaled-back version of the game already on the system.

Once again, rest in peace, my favorite console.

"Gamers want to play various games of various types, so the most important thing is that these people who love games are happy."

Truer words never spoken.

Why that article has 200+ comments is a mystery beyond comprehension.

This is cool, but I still wish we had another Rayman game coming.

I don't mind having Cooler. I kinda wish we had more characters from the movies like Bojack or Tapion.

I really wish Sega would revive JSR, but I'm willing to give this a spin until then.

Great review. I still want to play these games at some point. Just looking at these screens give some nostalgic charm that I want to experience.

Yay, console wars. -_-

I mean no offense to Sammy by saying this, but this PR is so weak it shouldn't even be dignified with an article.

Screw Cyberpunk. This is the news of the day!

Never good news to see this. Thoughts and prayers to all affected. I hope everyone in Florida can stay safe.

Devil May Cry 5 is my personal pick, but that is a pretty good list.

@ShogunRok I know! With my luck though, I wouldn't be shocked if he somehow bottomed out on the next tier list. I do play a better character in Leo, but Lee's my favorite, I dunno if I can take another nerf.

Nice little demonstration of the wall bounce. I'm excited for the new update, if a little scared of having to revise my notes for Lee. Or heaven forbid, he gets nerfed.
