Spider-Man PS4 Releases September 7th, 2018
- Thread starter Aokiji
- Start date
Man, I'm seeing people call the boxart ugly and horrible. I realize where I'm at but really? I love it, it's simple and goes beautifully with the blue case.
Think I'm gonna pre order the special edition and just do the same with God of War while I'm at it. What a year it's gonna be even with Days Gone being delayed.

Your only in there because Spiderman casts a broad net. Most of the people in that same space don't care about DQ.
DQ's net is much smaller.
Box Art should have had an NYC backdrop at least. Ah well
Insanely hype, I don't know how I am able to wait

...Crystal Dynamics didn't develop Deus Ex, for one.

Wow there are some shitty ass posts going on in this thread,
Which part of it? I don't care personally, but yes, I think Spider-Man will harm the performance of Shadow, and I think it was going to underperform anyway.
And Crystal Dynamics aren't developing Shadow of the Tomb Raider, either.
Why wouldn't they release two games in September, especially when they're in wildly different genres? The only conflict that having both games launch is the fact that SotTR is undoubtedly going get the brunt of Squenix's marketing support by virtue of being a much more expensive game.
Besides, it's not like DQ would do any better in any other month with how little people care about the series in the west, so pushing it closer to a potential KH3 release date only hurts it.
Yeah and my argument is that release date makes their net even smaller.
Bethesda does that. Dishonored 2 demo (trial version) actually convinced me to buy this game. That said, Prey demo convinced me to stay away.Demos for single player games?
In 2018?

I don't even wanna know what you googled to find this picture
I don't think there is big overlap between day 1 Dragon Quest players and day 1 Tomb Raider players. Those two survive. Heck Dragon Quest can survive both Spider-Man and Tomb Raider if it's a good game and marketed accordingly with expectations in check.
Between Tomb Raider and Spider-Man however Tomb Raider might take it hit, at least on the PlayStation side.
They did the same thing with the digital deluxe edition of GoW. I still haven't received my pin yet for that one :(
Oh, trust me, whatever I might have googled there were far worse horrors.
Fuck yes! I think this might be my most anticipated game for fall. Just pre-ordered the CE. In for day goddamn one.
Idk, the month seems packed. Personally I will buy Yakuza and spiderman day 1 and maybe will give a chance to DQ.
I will wait one year to get Tome Raider tho.
It's lame. The name of the game is just "Spider-Man" and the boxart is just a singular cutout of Spider-man.
It's all just kinda "generic super hero game", with no personality. I don't get it to be honest, but I guess it's for marketing/demographic reasons or something because they don't want to confuse mommy getting the game for little Johnny or something.
Batman Arkham Aslyum had it right... but at the end of the day I don't really care - I'm going to buy this game.
As is expected when one is faced with an Emissary of Hell

I want this game to have some nod to Japanese Spiderman
Just you wait. Spider-Man's gonna be getting his ass kicked at the end, and suddenly Leopardon's gonna fuckin come down and blow everyone to smithereens!
I have to agree with them. They bungled the last Tomb Raider so much with that faux-exclusive BS that it crushed the brand. It's an IP on the decline and if they stick to that release date they're going to be forgotten pretty fast.
This is a comic book series with some of the most iconic comic book covers of all time to it's name alone
This is...pretty generic

Reboot was released same month as Bioshock: Infinite
ROTTR was released same day with Fallout 4.
I think it's wise.
It will pop like hell in a shop, and the name makes it clear you don't need to have played any game before it. Batman: Arkham Asylum doesn't immediately point to being a totally fresh series. This is 'Spider-Man', you know this is its own thing.
Did you even read what you posted?
"That's 11 million for Tomb Raider (2013) and almost 7 million for Rise of the Tomb Raider. The latter was likely kneecapped to some degree by a timed-exclusive launch on Xbox One; it released on PC a few months later and on PS4 a full 11 months down the road."
It does definitely help them with titles for the sequels they obviously have planned, too. "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" is an easier explanation than "Spider-Man: Rise of Electro" or whatever. It helps give them a hard break from the Activision years where every game was unrelated to the last one and they all kind blurred together.
Wow really? That actually intrigues me way more than Crystal Dynamics doing it.
Omg around my birthday. This for ps4 and dragon quest for pc. Going to be a fucking awesome fall season for games!
tfw we're about to get a better MJ than the last decade of Marvel comics
Perhaps it looks lame to you, but this is going to be a big, bright red end cap or wall at most stores, and it will stand out big time. MCU is huge right now, and a big budget, hyped Spider-Man game will be highly visible and identifiable for both children and parents throughout the Fall and into the Holiday Season. This is a good cover for exactly what it needs to be and do.
Yes i did. Point is: the game is still big success even with exclusivity deal.
Yup, CD is working on Avengers game alond with second team over at Eidos Montreal.
Arkham games are about as visually unique as a concrete wall
This art is an expressionless, cookie-cutout mess for a character like spider-man
It's just really boring.
Minamilist covers are usually pretty beloved by people, but the boxart for Spiderman just kinda comes of as this weird lazy thing with the red gradient and cutout of spiderman.
Compared to the steelbook, which is this really classy minimalism of the white spider logo.
I get they probably don't want to confuse the general public.... but man that Red gradient BG looks so cheap.
IMO, this is the first time a boxart has made me go "this is aggressively bad".
