Will Spider-Man: Miles Morales come to Playstation 4?

[Border]

SM:MM is probably my most anticipated game at the moment, but I'm not sure if I'll pick up a PS5 this fall, so it being exclusive to that platform would be kind of a bummer.

It's in Marvel's best interest that the game sell to a broad audience though, and it'd also help the Spider-Verse/Sony Pictures films. At the same time it's maybe in Sony Computer Entertainment's best interest to keep the game on PS5-only, at least for a certain amount of time.



Jason Schreir seems to think it will come to PS4, but doesn't appear to have any inside knowledge.

Where do you think it will wind up?

 

[BackwoodsAltar]

I really doubt it

 

[Greywaren]

If it does, I expect it would release later. They need to push PS5 and this is a good way to do it.

 

[CerealEnthusiast]

No, Jim Ryan was very specific about "we want you to feel the generational leap, only possible with games exclusive to PS5".

 

[skillzilla81]

Sony's entire presentation was a belief in generations and wanting to show games that justified that. Whether or not people think Miles' game looks like a PS4 game, releasing it on a last gen console seems contradictory to the messaging of the event.

 

[Wollan]

It's PS5 only. This was stated so nothing to debate really.

 

[Het_Nkik]

I think it'd benefit Sony more to keep it PS5 exclusive to sell consoles.

 

[Deleted member 2791]

It'd be hella weird for the only first party game announced to launch with the console to also be available on the console that everyone owns.

 

[MillionIII]

That's a way too detailed poll lol

 

[BDS]

I'm in sort of the opposite boat: I'd be potentially willing to pick up a PS5 this fall if Miles was an exclusive, but if it isn't then I have no reason to buy one until Horizon 2, and who knows when that is.

 

[giancarlo123x]

No.

 

[Deleted member 9584]

I remember when Resogun was a PS4 exclusive and the power of the PS4 made all of that geometry possible.

 

[jayu26]

Considering their message, I seriously doubt thay and I think it is probably doing things in terms of traversal that is not possible on PS4.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

nah

I doubt they'd use that hashtag if it was also coming to PS4 lol

 

[Lego Killer Moth]

no i strongly imagine tsushima will be the last 1st party ps4 release

 

[Camells]

PS5 only i guess and this game alone on launch is enough for me to push me over the edge and buy a PS5 day 1

 

[gameguy682]

It really depends. If they started working on it on PS4 (which I doubt due to the PS5 SSD tests) then maybe, but if it started dev on the PS5 devkit, then no.

Personally, I think it's stuck on PS5 as the launch period looks like it needs all the games it can get.

 

[Tora]

Doesn't matter if a game looks like a PS4 game, these early gen games can still look absolutely stunning but won't compare as much to 2022/2023 games.

 

[DNAbro]

It's probably going to be the day 1 system seller so it should be exclusive

 

[Hippopuncher12]

No.

 

[sir_crocodile]

I didn't really think much of the first game, but I know it was very popular, and given how thin their system sellers lineup is looking, I think it'd be a bad move to do a PS4 port.

 

[Edward]

I will be absolutely shocked if one of their if not biggest games this holiday season isn't going to be on a system that 100+ million people have.

People who want a PS5 are going to buy a PS5. Who is going to spend upwards of $500 for a non-full fledged Spider-Man game that is probably going to be 10 hours long? to lock it behind a system that is probably going to be in short supply and will have probably a 10% of that PS4 userbase in that month. It's a absurdly bad business decision. This isn't some small PSN game and i am 100% sure it's not their decision, it's Marvels.

 

[TheChungusAmongUs]

I am still incredibly confused by the messaging of this game.

Is it a standalone expansion?

Is it being bolted onto a re release of the PS4 game?

 

[JustinH]

Yean, no...

Sony's already said they're making PS5 exclusive titles and this one would be a big one. Also it'd be weird if it came to PS4 considering they used Spiderman to show off how the SSD stuff would "change the game" or something like that.

 

[Mona]

what are you asking me for

 

[MysteryM]

Sony said ps5 only so mute point really, no cross gen. They were super clear about that.

It's a standalone game.

 

[Astandahl]

Why should come to PS4?

 

[RecRoulette]

Probably in Spring

 

[TechnoSyndrome]

They need people to buy their new console, and Sony is in a good enough position right now to be able to do that and forego any sales they might've seen from a PS4 port.

 

[Spinky]

Didn't look like a current-gen game to me.

 

[night814]

It didn't/doesn't sound like it but I hope so, I don't intend to get a ps5 till later.

I wouldn't be shocked if it launched on ps5 but some lesser version of it originally intended for PS4 gets released later like maybe summer next year with caveats that if people want the better version it's available on PS5.

Think Uncharted Lost Legacy or Infamous First Light type of game.

 

[SunBroDave]

The whole reason this game exists is to get you to buy a PS5.

So no it's not coming to PS4

 

[FusionNY]

Seems like Sony is done supporting the PS4 internally after GoT. Even if a scaled back Miles Morales could run on PS4 they aren't going to release it there.

I believe Insomniac themselves have come out and said it's a) stand-alone and b) not part of a remaster/release of the original so I'm not sure what's confusing with regards to what you are asking specifically.

 

[Uzuzu]

Most likely coming to ps4, it's a marvel game and they don't particularly care about selling PS5's. I would think they would push to release on ps4

 

[bastardly]

it'll run on ps4....through ps now

 

[Ojli]

No, I don't think it'll be on PS4. Not that PS4 can't handle it, but Spider-man sells so well that they'll want it to move PS5s

 

[Beastlove]

Of course they will release it for PS4. It is leaving money on the table. All they need to do is show how much better the ps5 version is.

Sony wants people to buy a console for it. This is a huge difference between MS and Sony's approach. They don't see it as leaving money on the table, they see it as a reason for people to spend money on new hardware.

 

[Smokeymicpot]

Probably after a few months.

 

[jacks81x]

I'm in the No camp as well. This is their killer app to sell PS5s. Keep in mind that this is not a game that they needed to build from scratch as the foundation of the game already exists. So they could afford to forgo the lost sales on PS4 in order to push their new next-gen console.

Telegraph said it was a remaster and an expansion. I just saw it had been updated to say it's standalone

If they cared about not leaving money on the table they wouldnt have greenlit and funded games exclusively for a platform with an install base of 0

 

[CharlesAznable]

I'm with Jason, I think it's also coming to PS4.

 

[Neoxon]

If it was coming to PS4, they probably would've said so by now. And considering that this is gonna be the PS5's big launch title, I doubt it'll be cross-gen.

If it was a big full sized title I'd say no way it's not coming to PS4. With it being a smaller standalone dlc type title, I could see them keeping it on PS5. What else have they got at PS5 launch to get people to adopt early if it's on PS4 too?
