We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Wow, this is a really shitty move then.
Yeah just hope they paid enough for the sales CD will over it.
the bigger injustice is how bad spidey is going to look if the regular avengers are any indication
My hypothesis is that Sony isn't leveraging ownership of Spider-Man (which they do not have) to keep him an exclusive character.
More likely it is that Avengers is a AAA game on competing platforms and Sony threw a bunch of money to keep the AAA Spider-Man realm associated with PlayStation consoles. The fact that this is a GaaS that is backwards compatible with/getting a next-gen update for PS5 means they expect people to buy it and base some degree of next-generation console purchasing decisions on that friends list and purchase.
If you guys are mad about this, I suggest saving some energy, because the next year will be a marathon of getting upset.
the reactions were quite positive after the last war table stream and the AMA. In fact here is my comment in that thread talking about how they turned it around for me lol.
New details from Marvel's Avengers (Reddit AMA summary)
They did say that certain upgrades will let you traverse more effectively, OP. You might wanna go back and look at the profiles and just copy/paste their comments because a lot of this is partially wrong or not the full context of what they said.

Because Microsoft aren't petty children and know that this is just business. Not to mention, they're doing the same thing.
Did you miss the S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 announce or the Yakuza 7 controversy. Difference here is that Sony has the market position to afford to do it with higher profile titles.
I mean, that's how exclusivity works.

Sony owns all of Spoder man. I mean Spidor man. I mean Spiper man. Shit they got me I don't have the right to type it any more.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about Sony and them making money off Spider-Man.
This is just that. Even if Disney at the end of the day wants the rights back that "someday" might not happen while either one of us are alive.
What you're seeing is that way more people were going to buy the game than anyone would admit to. People like to make fun of it and nitpick every little thing, but they were still going to buy it. I think the end result here is less sales on PC and Xbox, and more sales on Playstation. Might even be more sales overall due to this, but hard to say. Sony must have paid quite a bit to get this though.
This doesn't seem like a very realistic conversation. What is the context for these 4 execs getting together? Why didn't anybody invite someone from EA if they wanted to know about Anthem?
No one in their right mind should believe Grace Randolph. She was the one talking about the dangers of "RACE BENDING" when Tessa Thompson was cast as a dog in Lady and the Tramp.
Make no mistake, they wanted MS to buy WB way before this
This.
Spidy isn't exclusive because Sony controls the character. He's exclusive because he's the character Sony wanted exclusively.
im right there with you, there's too many coincidences for there not to be some form of agreement in place..but like you I know nothing of the contracts.
not a chance, Microsoft needs to sue Sony here.
Pc xbox and ps pay $60 ps gets extra content while xbox and pc pay the same price for less.
Exclusive games are bad if its just to keep it off other platforms not when they are helping to fund the game. Plus typically when the game comes to other platforms it is not missing content
It looked pretty fun in the latest War Table from last week:
I mean Spider-Man PS4. I am implying that the Insomniac game was part of a larger deal, possibly including this exclusivity, but nobody knows.
We'll see Ori on Playstation before MS pulls Minecraft from PS.
Hell Sony barely have the publishing rights to the Ghostbusters games. If any at all.
Not because of Spider-Man not being in the game at launch though, that's like saying no one gets a complete game because Wolverine isn't in it (going by comics). Spiderman wasn't a core member of Avengers comics. This game isn't MCU, though it could be influenced by it, the same way Arkham Harley designs influenced current Harley in comics and movies.
I don't think so. People have always been critical of exclusives even when it's for thier console. The extent of my anger towards exclusives if definitely affected by how inconvenient it is for me or how interested I was in the game in general. I used to be more hard line about it but relative to the other horrors going on in gaming I kind of long for a time when exclusives was as bad as it got.
For those requiring clarification,
"In February 2015, Disney, Marvel Studios, and Sony announced a deal to share the Spider-Man film rights, leading to a new iteration of Spider-Man being introduced and integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The deal allowed Sony Pictures to continue to own, finance, distribute, and have final creative control of the solo Spider-Man films, with Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures distributing the films with his other appearances."

"Sony wouldn't do that whatever. Preorder secured."
"Uhh.. Game looks like ass so who cares!"
"Uhh.. Game looks like ass so who cares!"
This is a good question and I'd be curious to know the answer, because to the best of my knowledge this is how these exclusive type deals always work, one company pays for some exclusive content and the other company plays for their own version of that same exclusive content.
Why do you insist on this despite Spiderman appearing in a Switch exclusive game last year?
At this point it is just trolling.
soooo... you've played the game? How is September?
Can you get us some winning lottery numbers?
But the Sony Disney rights deal that you talked about earlier happened in 2019. Spider-Man ps4 happened in 2018. I'm going to guess they had nothing to do with each other
LMAOOOI heard Phil Spencer was a man of honor. When the time comes, he'll fire his weapon in the air .This will put an end to the whole console exclusive affair.
That nature of this game and if it's still going by then, I could see this having a great chance to be on PS6.
Sony, Avengers and Spider-Man have been trending on twitter for hours now. Regardless how big this game would be without Spider-Man, it just got a lot bigger. Crystal Dynamics seem to have pulled off a triple AAA Avengers game AND they just announced Spider-Man as a PlayStation exclusive. If the beta gets good buzz this has everything to become one Of the monster hits of the new generation. Getting Spider-Man on my PS4 copy is amazing, but I'm still excited to play the game on PC with my friends as well. This can become bigger than Destiny, a PS5 console seller AND still get loads of play from XBox and PC players.
Omg LOL
"YAS PHIL YAAASS"
no idea. That deal would make less sense than this one.
