Good sales, and a good game at that.
Batman, Spiderman, and Injustice. Marvel needs to up their (video) game. I wonder if they counted Marvel vs. Capcom in this? It'd be cool to see superhero video games have their MCU moment. Spiderman and Batman are nice, but they're Dark Knight nice, not cinematic universe nice. Now that MCU is probably going to have to wind down and maybe reboot, wouldn't it be sweet as hell if we could get an MGU? With games that master a formula as compelling for gaming as Marvel's movies were for film? An entire series of Marvel games for various heroes telling a continuous canon, and all of them roughly on par with Insomniac's Spiderman and the Arkham series?
damn you guys noticed this already 2 hours ago? I just learnt of it and made a thread >.< then see this.
Niche-man! you did it!
Hard to say which is better between Spider-man and Arkham City. I prefer Spider-man but I come in with a huge pro-Spider-man bias. Of course, Spider-man 2 is still my favorite.
HUGE CONGRATS!! ~ rejoice, it is salvation, smile, for you have become the children of Thanos - - Maw.
One more time, One more time!!
Can't wait for the sequel and the changes it could bring.
"Tomorrow morning, Spider-Man sequel in development, with a playable Miles Morales this time! Move Last of Us 2 to development phase 4." - Jameson
"Actually sir, Death Stranding is still in Phase 4." - Hoffman.
"Fine, then Phase 3 and give Naughty Dog a 1% raise." - Jameson
"Will do." - Hoffman
"What are you waiting for? Chinese New Year? Go!" - Jameson
"Um, sir..." - Hoffman
"Get out of here!" - Jameson
I got the game when it was on sale for $20 a few weeks ago. I didn't enjoy it honestly. I thought the combat although very closely related to Batman Asylum which I loved wasn't done as well. Oh well glad to see it did well either way as I do love Insomniac as a studio.
