I was planning on getting the game on ps4 if it had good reviews, but fuck that now. Console exclusives should be done away with unless you intend to make the full game exclusive.

It's incredibly stupid. Same with when that COD game had a whole game mode on PS4 for a year before taking it to Xbox. It's anti-consumer.

Oh.... I think it's supposed to be easier to get into than CK2 at least but don't take my word for it

Just a suggestion since it comes out the same week as this bullshit anti-consumer game does

Fair enough if it has a demo or a free week I'll try it because the game is seriously cool and I respect them, I just never got into it

I bet Spider-man isn't even in the main story. Its probably just some side mode like how the ps3 version of Arkham Asylum had that Joker mode that xbox never got

It's even worse with CoD because when that content drops for Xbox, the new CoD will be about to launch making MW mostly irrelevant

Timed exclusive content is fine, but keep it to a couple months max.

And is this the movie version of Spider-Man? I mean, is it based on the movies or the comics?

Okay, thanks. That's the only way I saw why it would have to be exclusive because Spider-Man himself exclusive to Sony because he's in UA3

This, promotes competition and leads to better games being made.

If Sony wasn't trying to sell PS4s I doubt we would have got stuff like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima this gen.

Oh I see, I think you guys are misunderstanding what this is about. TC isn't referring to the Spider-Man game being Playstation exclusive. Spider-Man, the character, is exclusive to the Playstation version of the Avengers game coming out on PC, Xbox and Playstation next month. PC and Xbox versions lose out on an entire playable character.

No, they literally only own film rights.

Marvel always kept comic rights. Sony sold off the merchandise rights back to Disney years ago. Leaving just film.

Nah, buy a PS4. It's a better system in 100% of all ways, so there's actually no justifiable reason to own an Xbox.

I think what it comes down to is this:

Sony and Marvel have the Spider-man PS4 deal. Sony and Marvel want to keep making money off of the Spider-man character for years to come but ultimately its Marvels decision as to whether or not permit Square Enix to use the character.

Square Enix probably asked Marvel to be able to use Spider-man. Marvel (in order to keep a good relationship with Sony) probably sought Sonys input on the matter, which resulted in Sonys grip being firmly around this game. Sony probably sought a partnership with SE in order to give them Spider-man. As a result, theyre getting exclusives such as exclusive marketing, beta early access, and Spider-man.

I feel like ultimately SE probably cared more so about getting to work on a character like Spider-man than about the implications of the partnership with Sony. Marvel probably could have given SE permission from the beginning, but I think it more so has to do with Marvel and Sony wanting to maintain their own relationship over time that resulted in this.

Nobody gives a shit about using the character for a Switch game about the Marvel Universe as a whole, so they just let Nintendo use the character.

Yeah, the news about it is only half true. Spider-Man is only exclusive to the PS4 version of Avengers, not the console/brand as a whole. This doesn't extend to everything else.
