After Insomniac elevated Spider-Man games with Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4, I kind of expected to see more care and attention placed on licensed properties, but I haven't really seen that. And honestly, we wouldn't have Spider-Man without the Arkham games respecting the Batman license and showing what is possible with it.
I think back to Jedi Fallen Order, but then I realize that devcycles aren't going to reflect the Spider-Man effect for years after the release of Spider-Man. Jedi Fallen Order doesn't have the quality of Spider-Man and came only a year after Spider-Man.
What has me more concerned is Hogwarts Legacy. Avalance Software is not Insomniac and is not the company that should be making this game. But the problem is WB doesn't have a ton of studios in the first place and they'd rather make their own garbage game than license this out to someone more competent.
But I still have hope. We're going to see Indiana Jones from MachineGames and Wolverine from Insomniac.
I'm sure Star Wars Eclipse will have its fanbase just as the other Quantic Dream games did, but there isn't a single Star Wars game that has me really truly excited and can't think of a single Star Trek game that is even in the works. I'd love to see some major IP get some really good support from some primetime game studios. Especially when their games have the potential to raise above even the original media.
Are there any franchises that you'd like to see get better treatment; what studios do you want to see involved?
Any studios you're really disappointed to hear handling IP?
