I really hope so. Just never been a fan.
Oh that's 100% happened. Jess as well.

It's real. It was created on 6/6/2020 and last updated on 2/3/2023.
Name of the file is InsomTOA SM2 post launch_content_slides.pptx
Venom was set to be standalone like Miles Morales for $50 (also have a version that comes with SM2 for $70), whereas Carnage would be a free DLC for SM2. Venom was being pitched as late as August based on the date of the docs and was scheduled for 2025 while all the other DLC would be releasing in 2024 for SM2. It's tough to tell with all the more recent timelines and headcounts what's actually being worked on though.
Cool, and that's a huge part of the game. Feel free and explain how a grounded character like Wolverine is gonna play like a gadget heavy, webswinging character like Spidey.
Lets face is, the only similarities are they are action games in genre, and they are Marvel. The two characters play so different, one doesnt even need to see gameplay to come to that conclusion.
I can see a possibility that both are accurate. After all, Carnage is both a Spidey and Venom villain, and him getting a smaller intro before his big appearance in Venom sorta tracks with how Carnage himself got a smaller appearance against Spidey (and Venom) in the comics, before the huge Maximum Carnage storyline.
Of course, not saying they'd do the same thing here but still...
Do you know the folder the file is in? I have asked Visceral to double-check and make a correction.
Huh. So there's an early map of Spider-Man 2 in the leaks with all the different content available in the game, where they mention "Villain Base: Symbiotes", "Villain Base: Hunters" and "Villain Arc: Beetle". I assumed the latter was something planned and cut, but ig it might be DLC?
Thank you!
I could see a possibility that some of this content gets rolled into a 2024 Director's Cut that was considered (regardless of whether the Venom game is actually released)!
The 3 DLC mentioned are supposed to be free per that slide, so no season pass
I take it you felt like what they did in Spider-Man 2 was as recyclable as a Call of Duty? Do you believe Insomniac's take of the web-slinger has already been worn out?
The plan for the DLC was not fake, no. We don't know what the status of the DLC is though.
If any of this stuff comes to fruition I'd be ecstatic.The 3 DLC mentioned are supposed to be free per that slide, so no season pass
Yep same here. I don't watch the movies so no burnout for me, plus I find the Ratchet games extremely boring. If it was up to me I'd get rid of that 2029 Ratchet game and put in a smaller Marvel one haha
Considering there are dozens of AAA games (nevermind AA and indie) coming out over the next several years, you're right!
Seriously, these posts are always the worst because at absolute worst there might be 2-4 superhero games a year between DC and Marvel, but there are so many more games that come out a year than just those.

This is much better DLC than what we got with the first game.
If the DLC is still happening depends on the time they planned this. Was it before or after the slide in OP, so before or after July 2023.
If before, then it is likely part of the Venom game now.
If before, then it is likely part of the Venom game now.
If before, then the Carnage DLC pack would likely appear in the standalone Venom game. I don't think Spider-Verse or the Beetle Invasion would suit a Venom game that well.
So Ratchet 2029 is finally the follow up to the beast of game that it is a Crack in Time? With all the Space Exploration stuff

You need to be more empathetic to the rare gamer that only plays Insomniac games and nothing else sir
It would make me kinda tight tho because then I wish the games/universe was like that to begin with
Assuming it's implemented well ofc
They'll bring up the other five or six studios tied up for some reason, even as multiple new studios announce brand-new projects.
More like YOU THINK they're going to be soulless just because you dont like Marvel. They clearly like working on Spider-Man just as much if not more than the R&C games. Sounds like you just need to go play games from other studios and let Insom make what they wanna.
Looks like SM3 will be the last Spidey game which makes sense but I will miss the series. I've loved all 3 games set in the universe and Insomniac's version has proven to be one of my favorite interpretations of the character. I could play their games forever but giving it a conclusive story will be for the best.
X-Men game will go crazy though. Not even gonna start predicting how that'll play lol

Hope this comes to pass!
The make what they are told to, Marvel is bringing profits so that is the route they take.
Like or dislike by the staff has no bearing in it.
Wolverine was announced very early because they were staffing up for it. People who like Marvel want to work at Insomniac. The average employee may not have control over IP decisions, but they can move to work on things that appeal to them.
I don't understand the implication that the employees are trapped working on things they hate or that it's becoming "soulless".
Buzzfeed gave it their #1 spot :p
Also NPR with their unranked list. And their was another unranked list but I can't think of it right now.

At this point I cant imagine who else they'd use... considering that Harry is gonna be in a coma for a while, as his ongoing illness will be the catalyst to Norman going full Green Goblin in 3, he cant be up and walking about in Venom .
I just dont see who else it would be... unless they spin a really random tale and make a random existing villain Venom for no real reason... I still think if the Spidey 2 DLC is a thing, they'll set Eddie up, at least a bit, to hint toward him becoming Venom.
*Shrugs* teared up in all the Spiderman games, loved the recent Ratchet and Clank, if this is the direction going forward I don't see the issue. Nothing wrong with not liking their games, there is an absolute sea of bangers lately that people can enjoy too.
Everything in the leaked slate makes sense to me except for Ratchet & Clank Ragtag.
It's slated for 2029, but there are leaked pages of a script, concept art and it seems to have a pretty solid plot synopsis. I won't spoil but if you're a long time fan of the series you know where it's headed. That seems pretty far along for a game so far out.
I also don't understand why it needs 6 years of active development? Rift Apart took just under three years to make; and every game before that took like a year or 18 months.
My speculation is that they're slowly rolling staff off of completed games to gradually iterate on new Ratchet until it ships in 2029; but it's still kinda weird. They could knock it out in 2 or 3 years.

I really hope the game will use full path tracing by then and even ray marching and will be indistinguishable from cinema quality.
There is a slide that show the idea of moving R&C up to 2027 for revenue reasons vs 2029 so who knows.
Based on the head count allocation table, I think this might be what they're doing. Ratchet isn't scheduled to have more than ~60 people working on it until 2029. I think Ratchet could also be their technology test bed, so their tools and lead engine people might be cracking away and doing PS6 research for that game.
Okay, okay, I should clarify/specify. I'm a big fan of Insomniac's output, but I have zero rapport with Marvel/DC stuff. So yeah, for me it's just way less interesting output from the studio than original IP. For the same reasons I'm not that stoked about the Arkane/Blade plans - I'd just much rather see them on their own IPs or something entirely new. But I'm not complaining on what's on offer across the board these days - we absolutely feasting.
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are part of the X-Men family in the contract. Marvel is making things right.
