Thats what i inferred from the second part, they said the same thing about The Last of Us Part 1, that it takes time and resources to put together marketing.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
The key to any game launch is honoring a release date.

Absolutely nothing here leads to think they'll show it soon. They only said that the game is on track to be released 2023 but that they still want to work more on it to show it and that it requires work.
If something, it implies that they have to work on it before showing it, and since work needs time pretty likely won't be shown soon.

Maybe you inferred a bit too much on that part, but that's OK. If the game's launching next year then we've gotta be getting pretty close to a proper trailer for it, given all they've shown so far is an in-engine teaser. It may be this month or next, or early 2023, but either way we're getting closer to it.

Why would Insomniac even acknowledge this guys existence and respond to him? This just validates the concern whiners that cry because nobody told them about a video game.

In this case it's a publicly stated release year so they likely just wanted to get ahead of this nonsense before it could spread any further. All they've done here is reaffirm what they've already told us.

Green rats about to have spiders everywhere on their avis next year instead of god if war?
Edit: where does it say it’s being shown soon? Someone edit that title if possible

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
One of the only devs I actually trust to get something out when they say they will (here's where someone shows me their previous delays, probably).
Remember, it's Spider-Man 2, a TON of that groundwork is already done. Yes, they'll update the city map from the first games like they did for Miles Morales, but they're not going to completely redesign it from the ground up, and it's not gonna be "Spider-Man In Hawaii".

Some people are just strange. Speculating about this and that, ok, but either clickbait worrying or actually cause a stir, about shit that might or might not come soon? I did not even remember that it had a date on its trailer and 2023 is anyway still kind of far away, so starting to get worried is ridiculous. Even if it hits 2024 I would not care. Most people in gamer age have no defined appointment with death, so why worry about release dates? Release dates are only a problem if the game gets released before it is cooked.

A good tweet to resurface in a year if the game gets delayed in 2023.

Tbh, it’s been proven over and over again that a game doesn’t need a long time between announcement and release. They could wait to announce this game til literally next e3, and release it in November, and it would be fine. No one’s gonna die, and the game will deliver.

Knowing Insomniac...that game is 100% a solid 2023. One of the few teams that can drop games back to back like the main staff smoke meth on their launch breaks. I've never seen a team like this in gaming, so if they say its 2023, they are one of the few teams that has a deep history of actually backing that up.
During the PS3 days ,they literally dropped Resistance, Ratchet, Resistance 2, anther Ratchet, Resistance 3, another Ratchet, and a new IP lol
They are that good folks, Spiderman 2 is good for a 2023 release date, I wouldn't be shocked at some other Ratchet for 2024, Wolverine 2025.

remember when half the forum 1as 100% certain Ragnarok wouldn’t come out this year? 
It would seem Sony has altered their marketing strategy quite a bit and people are reeling. Spiderman 2 doesn't need overly expensive marketing early to be a mega hit, they just need to focus it all at once.remember when half the forum 1as 100% certain Ragnarok wouldn’t come out this year?

Sony's marketing campaign plans were obviously pushed around due to the pandemic, but nothing's really been altered lately. Spider-Man, just like the rest of their first party lineup, hasn't gotten a new trailer yet and won't until they have their showcase. All we have officially from them post-Ragnarok is TLOU MP, Spider-Man 2, Wolverine and Horizon CotM. Plus a couple of published titles. They have a LARGE amount of titles being worked on they could talk about, so the showcase will really open the floodgates once it happens, and will presumably be the start of getting their marketing cycle back on track post-pandemic.
Spider-Man 2 will have a massive marketing campaign with trailers, social media, billboards, commercials and all that jazz, just like all their other games. It'll probably be compounded by their marketing for Spider-Man Through The Spider-Verse so they'll build upon one another.

That would be dope!I would lose my shit if we have this ingame
I'm just stoked Venom is in it.
I don't disagree at all. Ragnarok's campaign has been atypical. Wondering if it's more intentional than reactional, and tactics like pouring resources into trailers are being reserved for a timeline closer to release.

Yep, it’s a known quantity. They could announced a date April 1st and drop it April 8th and it would sell 4 million out the gate.
I think maybe Sony realized bothering their studios to create a bunch of marketing material a year out only adds more pressure and dev time to the games.

I'm more of a carnage type of guy, but maybe that dude is too violent for a +14 game.
