Spider-Man: The Great Web - Insomniacs canceled live service game!

Thoughts, SW? Should Sony have finished the game?

Sony is giving up on making games.🙃

Seems to be a lot of turmoil going on over at Sony these days.

The one live service game that would actually do well....they cancelled 😕

Sony's cancelled more PS5 games than it's made at this point 🤦‍♂️

Even tho that's good that they canned a live service game, you still gotta notice how much more effort went into this when compared to other live service super hero titles such as our favorite Suicide Squad. The difference is immense.

Maybe a good thing if Sony is abandoning this live service Hail Mary.

I have no issues with almost any live service game getting scrapped. Helldivers 2 has been the only live service game worth playing in my experience so far. The rest just try to manipulate your dopamine to convince you to burn insane amounts of money on microtransactions.

Still trying to understand sonys play here.... So far I think they realize they can't afford to make games at the going asking price so they chucked a ton of live service poo against the wall hoping some of it would stick and be a sort of recurring income that could fund all their other games? Like, I don't get why they've gone so hard at everything they're not good at. What horrible decision making.

No offense to anyone working on these, but I hope more live service games get canceled

This looks so ham fisted and gross lol..

Insomniac dodges a bullet by not releasing this..

Can't believe they were working on this at all.. what a horrible idea smfh

Honestly, I would've tried it for Silk and that's about it. I'm sure it would have turned out well if it was part of Spider-Man PS4 years ago cause that was the time to do this, but not right now in 2024.

How was this supposed to be a whole thing, and not just a dlc mode?

The scam ain't working.

Let's blame everyone and everything but ourselves.

No, it's live service. I want real videogames, not games with excessive grinding trying to milk my wallet at every turn. It's cute that companies tries to make you pay a thousand times over for crap games, but I'm not a huge fan.

How about making a fun Spiderman game that includes a MP mode with the price of the game, focusing on being fun? No? We don't do that anymore? Kay.

Chin up cows,you got playstation No1 pre order sea of thieves 👍

There are more spidermen than criminals in New York.

Seriously, I'm starting to feel bad for criminals, always getting beat up by these priviliged power hungry comic book heroes. It feels like bullying and it's making me feel sick to my stomach.

lol :P

Prove it. so far its naughty dog,insomina,and twisted metal.

so 3 games they made more than that the first year ps5 was out.

fixed

yup to many kids just play fortnite lol.

sony realizes they are not leaving fortnite no matter how good there game is lol.

The joke was Sony had nothing left except Spider-Man.

Turns out they don't have that either.

@gifford38:

Face it mah friend. You backed the wrong horse...

Phony broke a couple legs and came up lame. lolol :P

@gifford38: I guess you are not a fan of truth but I already knew this 🤭

Just finally watched the video in the OP.... What a dreadful experience insomniac was cooking up. Would've been a major stain on their studio. Not unlike Redfall and arkane. Live service games suck because their entire purpose is to generate passive income. It's a major wedge between creativity and business.

If it was this footage, then it looked fine to me.

😂

Look forward to PS1 and 2 games on PS+ subscriptions instead- they are better than this junk.

yes the truth is sony canceled all there live service games.

they didn't cancel ghost 2, or wolverine or death stranded 2.

the one i am mad about is the last of us factions.

To summarize, "Sony is giving up on making games.🙃"

Make your own spider character that play almost the same? No thanks.

Glad they moved to X-Men.

And please, give us that X-Men 90s feel or at the very least the 97 version isn't so bad either.

How many PS5 only games have they made, Demon Souls remake, R & C, Returnal, Spiderman 2, what else is there?

I honestly think they were just that use to getting away with shit, they thought it would be a sure bet through normalization.

If they 'canceled' any of them, there could be a good chance they've been put on hold for next gen.

And that's a good news? A ps5 design for the ps6, as if we didn't get enough ps4 games on the ps5.

And imagine if they did release this shit game. You can forget them developing other titles. They'd be GaaS slaves creating time gated chores and mtx skins until the 2040's. This is just pure misery.

Yea ,I would love that.

Frightening.... And to be expected from greasy corporate suits who don't care a lick about gamers.

Now that I thought about it for a while there is actually a lot of potential for Spiderman as a service game.

Spiderverse could easily be this type of game. There is a lot of room to bring in a ton of characters. New rifts that open up in the world can alter the map each season and provide new content, missions, and locations. New items can become available for players to use that come from these dimensions, and stay available and accessible as long as the rifts they come from stay open.

It would make a compelling Spiderverse entry, Sony already has this property, people love the movies, there is potential for licensing and tie-in content.

The stylized look means it could probably run fine on lower end platforms if it were a multiplatform f2p.

I don't like the idea of service games, but looking at the people who do, this might be attractive.

Thanks God they cancelled it. **** live service games.

@hardwenzen:

No it would be a ps6 video game. Whatever the advancement in tech is apply it to those scrapped video games, especially if they were good ideas.
