Rumor: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Will Come Sooner Than We Think

Late 2021 would be 3 years after the first (which itself had a very fast development time, IIRC), so that seems fairly reasonable. Sony will probably want it out as quickly as possible too as it would be a massive early boost to PS5 hardware sales.
The ending of the first game was so good,left me eager to see what happens next.The next one can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned.
Spideman was made in three years, it seems reasonnable. And maybe the spiderman demo was some R&D.
I'm pretty sure it is, I mean, Sony picked Spider-Man as the game that got shown to demo the PS5's improvements. Wouldnt surprise me if we get a Spidey-teaser with the PS5 unveil.
I hope it's way more polished and doesn't have the "insomniac" feel to its movement mechanics. I don't want to feel like time and inertia resets every time I swing or push. It needs more ragdoll physics on the webs and Spider-Man's weight and it doesn't have to work against the gameplay.
I'm so bummed this is how the industry works.
On paper it makes sense because you're asking the developer to create a similar game without spending 1-2 years fleshing out the foundation and pipeline to make it, but it kinda doesn't make sense to rush sequels given that you expect sequels to be as good but also better than the original.
I've just seen too many sequels and game trilogies where the further it goes the more stripped down it gets whilist technically improving in other areas. Mass Effect 3 still stings, and to be honest Jak 3 and Ratchet & Clank 3 even had their "3" woes.
2021
I'm sure the city is being reused as a template, but they'll want to go bigger. They def won't be starting from scratch
Spiderman is also in a lucky position where its always gonna take place in New York, so the open world doesn't have to change all that much
Spiderman 2 inevitable PS5 bundle is going to destroy NPD charts my god. Sony might even be puzzled because there are so many outstanding games to bundle with. A nice problem to have.
