no surprise. its Spider-Man.
nah I disagree, its Insomniac + Sony + Spiderman.
As...why didn't the other Spiderman games do this? Quality matters and slapping the name of a huge IP on a game doesn't mean it will do well. We've seen bigger IP turn to games that flopped, bombed etc.
I didn't realize he was such a popular character it almost feels at times he's on the level of Batman and Superman perhaps even more.
A lot of it has to do with that he is very relatable compared to most heros. He isn't a billionaire, he is not a alien from another planet, he is just a regular student that got bit by a radioactive spider giving him powers, but he still has problems any college student would have. Family, jobs, girls etc. A lof of that imho is what sets him so far apart, many like how he is written and gravitate towards him.
Miles Morales will probably sell pretty close to the original when all is said and done. It's pretty consistently in the top 20 every month
I'm shocked about that one lol I really thought it would sell under as some side game or something, but that game is moving just as much units. Insomniac + Sony is going to be out here breaking all sorts of fucking records with Spiderman 2 and Wolverine lol
I'm happy this game is moving gangbusters and I hope that publishers take note.
Putting a fucking IP that is popular in game IS NOT FUCKING ENOUGH. The game MUST BE GOOD, it must be by developers that can...get this, MAKE GAMES lol We've seen so many fucking Transformer type, Fast And Furious type games its not even funny and seeing them flop got lots of us just believing those IP can't work as games, when lazy, bad development might have more to do with those poor sales. Look at all the hype behind that Harry Potter RPG coming out, its not solely just cause its in that universe, its about WHO is making it too and we believe it will be a quality game. If those things don't align, of course those games would flop and continue to do so. Maybe the likes of EA, Activision etc will take those licenses more seriously seeing this.
