Absolutely. It's fairly easy, but good god it's fun. Amazing soundtrack, improved personalities, much richer backstories. I credit that game with absolutely ruining the GotG movies for me because it blows them out of the water in terms of story and character development. Drax especially, I didnt expect to become so intensely emotional over the Big Dumb guy that Bautista plays
I love the MCU GOTG but I most definitely agree. The game versions of them are infinitely better than the movie versions. I love how Peter and Gamora have a really cool friendship and it shows in their many interactions.
I LOVE DRAX SO MUCH OMG! I love that when he talks to Peter he calls “Peter Quill” and it’s so cool and funny to me. I love that he so loyal to Peter that he’s willing to take his word in trying to warm up to Gamora.
I really love Rocket and how he slowly warms up to the rest of the group. And he conquered his fear to save his friends.
Groot is so much more expressive and talkative than his movie counterpart and I love it.
This game is a 10/10 and it’s one of my favorite games of all time.
Nah that is a prime example of the opposite. He knows a lot, but he doesn't understand jokes/sarcasm.
When Peter asks Drax how long he has been asleep at the start of the game, he says the exact number of ticks. He has a great memory, and therefore what Intelligence is used for in D&D, but his insight skill is *atrocious*.
Thats Higher Intelligence, Low Wisdom to me.
I was worried I wouldn't be able to enjoy the game because I would be comparing it to the MCU version of the characters too much. But man did that game shock the hell out of me!
No, the base game contains all the content. There is a "deluxe edition" that includes early unlocks to some cosmetics, but it's completely unnecessary. You'll unlock all costumes through gameplay.
The combat is less than meh and the game does not stop holding your hand. There was also a lot of "walk down this corridor and listen to rocket" sections. Really not for me.
Fucking incredible game. First time in a while I'd been hooked on a game and bummed when it ended. And it took me ages to start it because I'd been burned by Avengers.
I adore Midnight Suns and you can't change my mind. To be fair it has a very niche audience for a Marvel game but that niche is very happy with the game.
Yes but…can you name more than 5 in all that time? And conversely, how many big titles have been let downs in that time, either in quality once released or constant delay and cancellation
Didn't phase one end in 2012? Yes i absolutely can name more than 5. And yeah there has been let downs but we're talking about 11 years. The xbox 360 was still the newest generation in phase one.
Yeah, we're long past the days you can crank out a passable AAA game with just a year of turnaround, that time between final script approval and a film's release date is a very tight window for modern game development. It's a shame that 360/PS3 Avengers first-person co-op game was cancelled, it looked like it had potential to be a super fun title for the end of the 360/PS3 lifespan.
It’s a weird thing since part of me wants to how they’d do a video game that’s based on the avengers movies, the daredevil show, the punisher, and Spider-Man No Way Home.
He's making a game where you play as Ezra Miller's Flash, and you have to see how many people you can kidnap and assault before Superman gets involved to stop you.
Instead of seperate universe/continuity games like Batman Arkham or Spider-Man, Gunn wants to have DC games canon to movies and tv shows.
Not a fan of the idea since it leads to so many restrictions like for example if you were making a Batman game, the rogues gallery will depend on who has been defeated/killed/first time meeting so can't meet for first time again in a different medium.
I think that’s a cool idea, I kind of thought that’s what the MCU would do in its early days but that didn’t pan out.
Edit: also it sounds like they’re going to start in the middle with a “he’s been Batman for 15 years” story so there’s probably a lot of wiggle room,” but I do see what you’re saying.
I think there is room in the market for other Spider-Man games. Just like there is room for both MCU movies and Spider-verse movies.
Just make the MCU game have a unique style.
Personally I think it'd be cool to bring back the Shattered Dimensions style of gameplay. Just a beat-em up with complex combat strats, quality cinematics, and a great story.
I think a lot of people have a poor opinion of Shattered Dimensions. Probably because at the time people were craving another open world Spidey and these games just weren't scratching that itch.
I thought it was a great Spider-Man story that probably paved the way for or inspired Into the Spider-Verse.
With some modern updates to make it more like a Dark Souls or Jedi: Fallen Order it could be a fantastic gameplay style for Spider-Man.
> We're better off.
Hard disagree there. In the case of Spider-Man, yes, I'm glad that the Insomniac games exist. But in general, I really miss licensed movie-games, and wish they would make a comeback.
It's a shame. The AA gaming market (where I feel that most movie-tie-in games lived) is pretty much all but gone. Now most games are either micro-budget indie projects, or huge bloated AAA messes that have to play things incredibly safe in order to appeal to as wide an audience as possible.
This is exactly what is happening to cinema as well. Mid-budget movies are the biggest gamble. Small and indie projects/AAA blockbusters in franchise(s) gets all the money.
Either studios become smaller in size (mini) or they have to absorb others to gain IPs and from there develop franchises to match this new trend. Disney knew this since late 2000s when POTC was sliding towards unprofitability so they stepped in and buy out Pixar from the cold, dead hands of Steve Jobs, Lucasfilms from Fox, Marvel and the Paramount contract set in place before, and Fox themselves over the last decade.
Other than that, acquisition occurs at such a rapid rate it's down to just five majors (Disney, Universal, Paramount, Warner Bros and Sony) though I suspect Sony is becoming more and more mini-major with the terrible decisions they had made for years now.
Why do you miss them? They're low budget games made to cash in on the movie's success with very little effort put into them. The ones that ended up being good are exceptions, not norms.
Because even low-budget or low-effort movie tie-in games were unique products unto themselves, built from the ground up. Whereas now, the best you can hope for in terms of movie tie-ins are to have the film's characters incorporated into Fortnite or a shitty mobile game for a month.
To me, that is much lower-effort than things like "Chicken Run" for the PS1 ever were.
I’d rather have an independent AAA game than a movie tie in anyway. Spider-Man 3, ASM 1 and 2 are examples of what you get when you get told to finish a game before a movie release. You get unfinished tie in games that do some things right, but are just not polished enough to compete with the competition. Spider-Man 2 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine are the only two games I’d say deserve praise from any marvel movie tie in game.
Tobey is the only one to be given a true treatment for three main games and a few others. Andrew's didn't use his voice, likeness, or even the actual story. The first took place after the movie and ignored a lot of it, and the second completely ignored the 2nd movie, got rid of Gwen, made Goblin and Electro side villains, and focused on Carnage and Kraven. It's like they didn't even want to touch those movies and only did the little obligations they had to do.
I was shocked both Raimi suits were in the first game.
Well, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man (or “Peter 1” officially) is part of the MCU after all, and what games have we gotten with an MCU license (minus the VR games) as of yet? The Incredible Hulk. Yeah, from way back in 2008. They’re deeeefinitely gonna go and do a Spider-Man game after that masterful piece of crap. (Ultimate Destruction was 1,000,000% better is what I’m trying to get across.)
EDIT: So, I’ve realized (from all the replies under me) that there was basically a game for every Phase 1 movie, but they didn’t make anything else for the MCU. I admit, I had only researched The Incredible Hulk in terms of MCU games and so I was woefully uninformed — that was my fault. But it still kind of carries my point: It makes sense that there wouldn’t be an MCU-based Spider-Man game because they haven’t done anything involving MCU games since Phase 1.
We also got two Iron Man games based on the first two movies, a game based on Captain America 1 and a game based in Thor 1. But almost all of them are garbage (I hear Iron Man 1 on the Wii is decent for what it is, and Captain America on the 360/PS3 was also kinda decent).
Captain America was not bad at all. But it wasn’t great either. I have the platinum for it.
Interestingly enough, Chris Evans played it, and wanted the fighting to be more like that game after Avengers, which is part of the reason the choreography is much better in Winter Soldier, he literally showed them the game as an example.
More recently, a similar thing happened with Tom Holland playing the Spider-Man game and wanting to incorporate some of that into No Way Home.
It’s a smart move. Making the games to hold up on their own rather than depend on the latest film or TV show gives the creators the freedom they need to create a more enriching experience. I mean, Batman games didn’t really get good until they stopped trying to keep up with movie releases. An occasional movie skin is all the tie-in I need.
Not really
It's a very good thing, it means the age of shitty tie in videogames to every single Superhero movie are over
You know it's a bad when the last good example is Spider-man 2 game from 2004
I'd like Tom to have his own game. I mean it would be cool to have a game set in the MCU. It could focus on the time in between Homecomong and Infinity war. With Peter facing low level scum like the Scorpiom, Shocker. Could build on MJ liking Peter a bit more and even have a scene where he realises he's Spiderman.
I don't think so. I think we're past the days of licensed film games based directly on films. It's also not really necessary to make a game for every superhero movie or just movie in general.
I feel like it'd be difficult to make games of the MCU characters. You could say it's an AU or you could say it's canon to the 616 MCU, but either way, it's going to get complicated. I mean, people are already complaining about the Disney+ shows. Just having Insomniac's Spider-Man and letting it be its own thing is a lot better.
Personally, I'm glad that movie tie-in games aren't really that much of a thing anymore. The vast majority of them suck as they were just cheaply produced cash grabs.
Spider-man games are all basically the same, and you can use Tom's suit in the Insomniac game. That's really as close as it needs to be. Part of the reason the Insomniac game was so good was because it wasn't tied to a story from a movie.
Personally I think it has to do with the costs really. If they did make an official Tom Holland Spider-Man game they would need to hire him for the role and pay him, and probably other actors, for their likenesses. Not to mention potentially licensing or royalty fees to the movies for their designers, writers, music, and other things. I mean, they COULD use other off-brand likenesses and voice actors, and different music and suit designs but look at how that went for that Avengers game.
Not to mention risking ruining the movies' legacies with a poorly received tie-in. There is the matter of what story to adapt too - the older movies have been out for too long to tie in those with the game. And tieing in a game to a future film would only work if both the film and the game studios both have scripts and designs and assets to work with, and they would have to be working closely together with similar release times, which would be a nightmare to deal with.
I’d rather have an independent AAA game than a movie tie in anyway. Spider-Man 3, ASM 1 and 2 are examples of what you get when you get told to finish a game before a movie release. You get unfinished tie in games that do some things right, but are just not polished enough to compete with the competition. Spider-Man 2 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine are the only two games I’d say deserve praise from any marvel movie tie in game.
That’s probably the reason why we have Ben Jordan as Peter Parker’s face (the face model is rushed but he’s pretty close to Tom Holland and they’re both British irl)
Dude, you are OP. You are the one that wrote the post. That means you typed the words "Tom Holland". If it was Tom Holland then it would be MCU. The MCU actors didn't voice the other non-mcu games.
It's not that weird. I don't think it could do better than insomniac's and that alone makes even making a movie tie-in game a waste of money. I just wouldn't get it. I'm sure there are people out there that would but I'd much rather wait for September for Spider-Man 2 to drop. Ntm I didn't like either tie in games for ASM. They were decent but Web Of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions spoiled me back then.
Fair enough but I just think it be cool plus they don’t have to follow the movies they could just have an original story like Guardians of the galaxy or make a shattered dimensions style game
Movie license games are a product of a bygone era, so I don't see it happening. And other than the likes of 007 GoldenEye or Pizza Time 2, they don't tend to be regarded well, even if/when they have their fans.
That being said, if Tom Holland Spider-Man had a game and it didn't just retread his movies one-to-one, I'd totally play it.
By that I mean if it did what the Raimi games did by adding a bunch of stuff that happened in between the scenes of the movies (i.e. fighting a classic comic villain or two in between the time his identity was revealed and the time he got green paint on his costume), or what the Amazing games did by telling whole-ass new stories which take place after or in between the movies, then I'd play it.
I guess if anything, how I'd do it is I'd make a game where you play as a completely street-level Spidey living in an apartment and wearing a classic no-frills homemade spandex suit without any gadgets, Stark tech, etc. with the heavy implication that you're playing as Peter 1 post-NWH.
Honestly, I’m kind of glad for it. Not because I think Tom doesn’t deserve his game, but because a lot of movie tie in games were made fast and cheap. Thankfully for the most part the day of movie tie in games are over (RIP Shrek on the Xbox) so we get higher quality stuff like Insomniac.
Is it really a big shame? Like 95% of them were shovelware crap. I'm happy that Insomniac's game didn't have you essentially being Tony Stark's sidekick.
Yes everyone here who is saying that the gotg game is great ain't lying, I've done 2 play throughs and I can say for sure story wise it is a fantastic game to play if you haven't already ik steam puts it on sale pretty cheap now. So what are you waiting for go get it.
I think thats because most Spider-Man games have him portrayed as an college/young adult and Tom’s Spider-Man is still a teenager.
Hell the last Spider-Man video game that focused on Peter’s highschool life was the ultimate Spider-Man video game released in 2003… 20 years ago… let that sink in.
Not really, considering superhero movie licensed games more or less died off before the first phase of the MCU was over. Now it's just the occasional LEGO or mobile game. I think it's for the best, I mean I'd vastly prefer stuff like the Arkham series, Insomniac's Spider-Man, or the Witcher to even the best movie tie-ins like Spider-Man 2 or X-Men Origins. The devs have far more freedom to work with the IP and they don't have to worry about getting it out around the release date of something they have no control over.
If they make a Lego spiderman this definitely is gonna be in it lol Everytime you load in you're gonna hear peter asking tony for permission to go out ☠️
Cuz we got insomniac now.
And seeing how the avengers game and midnight suns came out I think it's better to leave the games to them
Guardians of The Galaxy!?
This game seems very underrated. I haven’t seen much about it even though it’s a pretty fun game
I’ve played it and it’s AMAZING! I definitely recommend it.
Absolutely. It's fairly easy, but good god it's fun. Amazing soundtrack, improved personalities, much richer backstories. I credit that game with absolutely ruining the GotG movies for me because it blows them out of the water in terms of story and character development. Drax especially, I didnt expect to become so intensely emotional over the Big Dumb guy that Bautista plays
I love the MCU GOTG but I most definitely agree. The game versions of them are infinitely better than the movie versions. I love how Peter and Gamora have a really cool friendship and it shows in their many interactions. I LOVE DRAX SO MUCH OMG! I love that when he talks to Peter he calls “Peter Quill” and it’s so cool and funny to me. I love that he so loyal to Peter that he’s willing to take his word in trying to warm up to Gamora.

Groot is so much more expressive and talkative than his movie counterpart and I love it. This game is a 10/10 and it’s one of my favorite games of all time.
Eidos Drax is essentially a D&D character with Low Intelligence, High Wisdom. "Was that a Metaphor, Drax?" "It was a Simile."
Nah that is a prime example of the opposite. He knows a lot, but he doesn't understand jokes/sarcasm. When Peter asks Drax how long he has been asleep at the start of the game, he says the exact number of ticks. He has a great memory, and therefore what Intelligence is used for in D&D, but his insight skill is *atrocious*. Thats Higher Intelligence, Low Wisdom to me.
😂
I think Mantis was done really really well too. She was much better than MCU Mantis. Really just a very solid cast all around.
Agreed on that. She’s really cool here and is a lot more fun in my mind.
There was a book on Drax's bunk I think called "Sarcasm For Dummies", I about fell out when I saw that
I thought it was hilarious too lol.
I was worried I wouldn't be able to enjoy the game because I would be comparing it to the MCU version of the characters too much. But man did that game shock the hell out of me!
Any impermanent in game purchases?
No, the base game contains all the content. There is a "deluxe edition" that includes early unlocks to some cosmetics, but it's completely unnecessary. You'll unlock all costumes through gameplay.
What do you mean?
Game passes, battle passes, basically anything that isn't actual permanent content. What are the in game purchases?
I’m pretty sure there’s no DLC nor micro transactions.
So it's a one time purchase?
When I re read the comics, I hear their voice. Not Chris Pratt or Zoe Zaldana.
I haven’t read the comic for the Guardians yet. Any recommendations?
It is very underrated, fantastic game
The combat is less than meh and the game does not stop holding your hand. There was also a lot of "walk down this corridor and listen to rocket" sections. Really not for me.
Insanely underrated game, wasn't a top tier game changing game but it was a lot of fun
Fucking incredible game. First time in a while I'd been hooked on a game and bummed when it ended. And it took me ages to start it because I'd been burned by Avengers.
I found it far too easy and hand holdy. Dialogue was great tho.
It's a cool game
Most definitely!
mid
Definitely NOT mid
C'mon, Midnight Suns is super fun
I’m so excited to try midnight suns, I’m literally just waiting for it to go on sale.
Midnight suns is quite alright. The dialogue is a bit cringe at times but other than that is fun.
I've been waiting for Midnight Suns to release on the switch.
As much fun as I've been having... this game runs like crap on next gen consoles and PC. They've got some work ahead of them porting it to Switch.
Midnight Suns is actually pretty good tbf
Midnight Suns is awesome, what?
I adore Midnight Suns and you can't change my mind. To be fair it has a very niche audience for a Marvel game but that niche is very happy with the game.
Ain't no way you're lumping Midnight Suns with Avengers 💀
Facts
Midnight Suns is great though.
Technically there's the VR game. But here's the thing the MCU hasn't really done proper games since phase 1.
Tbh we haven't had proper games in general since phase 1 😅
With few exceptions yeah. We got way more games back before the first Avengers
What?
I was kinda exaggerating, but broadly speaking videogames from that era are more enjoyable to me than videogames these days.
Kinda exaggerating? You exaggerated so much i didnt know what your point was. Of course theres been good games out since phase 1 of the MCU.
Yeah no kidding...?
Yes but…can you name more than 5 in all that time? And conversely, how many big titles have been let downs in that time, either in quality once released or constant delay and cancellation
Didn't phase one end in 2012? Yes i absolutely can name more than 5. And yeah there has been let downs but we're talking about 11 years. The xbox 360 was still the newest generation in phase one.
new games bad old game good give reddit points
I'm sorry what?! There's a MCU Spider-Man VR game???
Not much of a game but it exists . [here](https://youtu.be/MGlvg2FpxwU)
That’s a pretty fun game too as short as it is
Phase 2 actually. I used to play Winter Soldier, Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 on my old iPad. They gave out a free suit in IM3 if you downloaded Thor 2
No, not at all. Movie license games are kinda dead. And It was a lot smarter to make a own continuety for the ps4/ps5 games.
Yeah, we're long past the days you can crank out a passable AAA game with just a year of turnaround, that time between final script approval and a film's release date is a very tight window for modern game development. It's a shame that 360/PS3 Avengers first-person co-op game was cancelled, it looked like it had potential to be a super fun title for the end of the 360/PS3 lifespan.
It’s a weird thing since part of me wants to how they’d do a video game that’s based on the avengers movies, the daredevil show, the punisher, and Spider-Man No Way Home.
*James Gunn has entered the chat*
James gunn is nuts if he think 4 years is enough gor a AAA game
What game is James Gunn making?
He's making a game where you play as Ezra Miller's Flash, and you have to see how many people you can kidnap and assault before Superman gets involved to stop you.
Instead of seperate universe/continuity games like Batman Arkham or Spider-Man, Gunn wants to have DC games canon to movies and tv shows.

I think that’s a cool idea, I kind of thought that’s what the MCU would do in its early days but that didn’t pan out. Edit: also it sounds like they’re going to start in the middle with a “he’s been Batman for 15 years” story so there’s probably a lot of wiggle room,” but I do see what you’re saying.
I think its more like “hey here is a one off game where you play as characters from the movies” but with little to no change in the status quo
Licensed video games were a big thing back then and Insomniac makes Spider-Man games now so it’s just not needed
I think there is room in the market for other Spider-Man games. Just like there is room for both MCU movies and Spider-verse movies. Just make the MCU game have a unique style. Personally I think it'd be cool to bring back the Shattered Dimensions style of gameplay. Just a beat-em up with complex combat strats, quality cinematics, and a great story.

With some modern updates to make it more like a Dark Souls or Jedi: Fallen Order it could be a fantastic gameplay style for Spider-Man.
He kinda does. There are VR games specifically using the MCU license. Licensed tie-ins are basically dead these days though. We're better off.
> We're better off. Hard disagree there. In the case of Spider-Man, yes, I'm glad that the Insomniac games exist. But in general, I really miss licensed movie-games, and wish they would make a comeback.
Probably won't happen, games are too expensive to make these days to have license games

Movie tie-in games were not as bad as people say. Spider-Man 2, Hulk, Cars, Barnyard, The Incredibles, these games were staples of my childhood.
Why do you miss them? They're low budget games made to cash in on the movie's success with very little effort put into them. The ones that ended up being good are exceptions, not norms.
Because even low-budget or low-effort movie tie-in games were unique products unto themselves, built from the ground up.

Spider-Man 2 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine are the only two games I’d say deserve praise from any marvel movie tie in game.
True
Yeah, they were already on their way out when ASM 2 came out.
Tobey is the only one to be given a true treatment for three main games and a few others. Andrew's didn't use his voice, likeness, or even the actual story. The first took place after the movie and ignored a lot of it, and the second completely ignored the 2nd movie, got rid of Gwen, made Goblin and Electro side villains, and focused on Carnage and Kraven.

Video Game movies really don't happen much anymore.

Iron Man 3 had a phone game
every phase 1 movie aside from avengers got a tie-in game

I mean, Batman games didn’t really get good until they stopped trying to keep up with movie releases. An occasional movie skin is all the tie-in I need.
And it's better that way I prefer original spider-man games with their own story and suit and not copies of the movies.
Spider-Man web of shadows and Spider-Man 2002 were my favourite growing up
I play the shit out of the VR games he has. Especially when I take psychedelics. I AM Spider-Man
I was you at one point, and then I discovered the Spider Lair in VRChat. Trust me, it’s the superior way to swing and wall crawl.
We have Yuri, we don’t need Tom Holland .
True but it be cool to see no way home get a video game adaptation
He has games on some arcade machines.
Not at all, the insomniac games feel similar enough with all of the gadgets and references to the Marvel universe.
It took a while for the others to get theirs. I personally think the PS4 Spider-Man is the best we’ve gotten of all time.
Not really. They just don't make that many video games based on superhero movies in general anymore.
He has those two vr experiences
no not at all movie games aren’t really a thing anymore
Insomniac's Spider-Man Remastered (PS5 version) Peter was redesigned to pretty much look like Tom Holland. Same voice actor as before though.
Not really It's a very good thing, it means the age of shitty tie in videogames to every single Superhero movie are over You know it's a bad when the last good example is Spider-man 2 game from 2004
I'd like Tom to have his own game. I mean it would be cool to have a game set in the MCU. It could focus on the time in between Homecomong and Infinity war. With Peter facing low level scum like the Scorpiom, Shocker. Could build on MJ liking Peter a bit more and even have a scene where he realises he's Spiderman.
If they made it like shattered dimensions that be fun cus then they can include Toby and Andrew
That would be Fun idea. I buddy cop movie with Tobey and Andrew. Andrew being the more aggressive cop while Tobey is very by the book.
Sadly Sony probably won’t let that happen :(
Fuck Sony... makes me sad.
Tie-in movie games are a thing of the past nowadays, and I think it's for the better.
It’s be cool to bring them back or at least some remasters
Games have changed. Movie tie-ins are nearly nowhere to be seen
If it takes him replacing the Spider-Man in web of shadows to get a remake I’d take it
I just wish the games were still purchasable I don't want to pay an arm and a leg to get Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time back
No. He's been spiderman more times than the others
Am I crazy or didn't they change the model in the most recent Spiderman to look more like Tom Holland, retroactively?
Yeah they did which I think was unnecessary
Ummm, if it's between a Tom Holland Spiderman game or the Insomniac games, Holland can eat a dick (I love you Tom I'm sorry)
The Insomniac game is better than the entire collective appearances of Spider-Man in the MCU.
I don't think so. I think we're past the days of licensed film games based directly on films. It's also not really necessary to make a game for every superhero movie or just movie in general.
before marvel movies there were a lot of terrible movie games no one likes.
Did you not see how they changed peters looks in the ps4 game? It’s pretty much Tom holland
Tom Holland and Ned’s voices are both in the Spider-Man VR games. They’re fun to run through a couple times.
I’m sure he cries to Zendaya about it
spider-man vr would be his game. There's two of them.
I feel like it'd be difficult to make games of the MCU characters. You could say it's an AU or you could say it's canon to the 616 MCU, but either way, it's going to get complicated. I mean, people are already complaining about the Disney+ shows. Just having Insomniac's Spider-Man and letting it be its own thing is a lot better.
That Avengers Campus ride is a video game.
Personally, I'm glad that movie tie-in games aren't really that much of a thing anymore. The vast majority of them suck as they were just cheaply produced cash grabs.
No because movie tie ins THANK GOD are dead. Toby got lucky with Spider-Man 2 as it’s highly regarded.
Not really, evidently movie tie in games have fallen out of fashion for a while now
Presumably because Sony doesnt have the rights to him, but they did for the ones they created
I do miss tie in video games
No
Suck it loser that's why his the lamest Spider-man
It's good he didn't because most movie tue-inGames suck. Don't Spiderman is the only Spiderman game we need
cause he doesnt need one
Spider-man games are all basically the same, and you can use Tom's suit in the Insomniac game. That's really as close as it needs to be. Part of the reason the Insomniac game was so good was because it wasn't tied to a story from a movie.
Is it weird that this Garfield costume is the only one not in the Insomniac game?
Ps5 i believe has it
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Peter Parker Miles Morales Play Game Venom
Personally I think it has to do with the costs really. If they did make an official Tom Holland Spider-Man game they would need to hire him for the role and pay him, and probably other actors, for their likenesses. Not to mention potentially licensing or royalty fees to the movies for their designers, writers, music, and other things. I mean, they COULD use other off-brand likenesses and voice actors, and different music and suit designs but look at how that went for that Avengers game. Not to mention risking ruining the movies' legacies with a poorly received tie-in. There is the matter of what story to adapt too - the older movies have been out for too long to tie in those with the game. And tieing in a game to a future film would only work if both the film and the game studios both have scripts and designs and assets to work with, and they would have to be working closely together with similar release times, which would be a nightmare to deal with.
Because licensed movie games are dead and were never all that great to begin with many developers knew this.
No. Tom Holland was Spider Man in a time where movie tie in games had died out.
I’d rather have an independent AAA game than a movie tie in anyway. Spider-Man 3, ASM 1 and 2 are examples of what you get when you get told to finish a game before a movie release. You get unfinished tie in games that do some things right, but are just not polished enough to compete with the competition. Spider-Man 2 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine are the only two games I’d say deserve praise from any marvel movie tie in game.
No, movie tie in games went the way of the dodo which is mostly a good thing
That’s probably the reason why we have Ben Jordan as Peter Parker’s face (the face model is rushed but he’s pretty close to Tom Holland and they’re both British irl)
True but for the amazing Spider-Man games we never see Andrews face or his voice so couldn’t they just do the same thing with Tom
If they created any MCU game then you have to deal with MCU cannon and people screaming about timelines.
I doubt that cus the guardians of the galaxy game didn’t follow the mcu versions so why and neither does the insomniac games
Dude, you are OP. You are the one that wrote the post. That means you typed the words "Tom Holland". If it was Tom Holland then it would be MCU. The MCU actors didn't voice the other non-mcu games.
Andrew Garfield didn’t voice his games either yes they were based off his movies but still
He’s a playable skin in both Spider-Man PS4 and Fortnite so no not really.
He has 2 vr demo titles
It's not that weird. I don't think it could do better than insomniac's and that alone makes even making a movie tie-in game a waste of money. I just wouldn't get it. I'm sure there are people out there that would but I'd much rather wait for September for Spider-Man 2 to drop. Ntm I didn't like either tie in games for ASM. They were decent but Web Of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions spoiled me back then.
Fair enough but I just think it be cool plus they don’t have to follow the movies they could just have an original story like Guardians of the galaxy or make a shattered dimensions style game
Movie license games are a product of a bygone era, so I don't see it happening. And other than the likes of 007 GoldenEye or Pizza Time 2, they don't tend to be regarded well, even if/when they have their fans. That being said, if Tom Holland Spider-Man had a game and it didn't just retread his movies one-to-one, I'd totally play it. By that I mean if it did what the Raimi games did by adding a bunch of stuff that happened in between the scenes of the movies (i.e. fighting a classic comic villain or two in between the time his identity was revealed and the time he got green paint on his costume), or what the Amazing games did by telling whole-ass new stories which take place after or in between the movies, then I'd play it. I guess if anything, how I'd do it is I'd make a game where you play as a completely street-level Spidey living in an apartment and wearing a classic no-frills homemade spandex suit without any gadgets, Stark tech, etc. with the heavy implication that you're playing as Peter 1 post-NWH.
tbf Insomniac's S-M game production started before Holland was even cast.
Honestly, I’m kind of glad for it. Not because I think Tom doesn’t deserve his game, but because a lot of movie tie in games were made fast and cheap. Thankfully for the most part the day of movie tie in games are over (RIP Shrek on the Xbox) so we get higher quality stuff like Insomniac.
No because we got Marvel’s Spider-Man
[удалено]
I know marvel ultimate alliance was one of the best
[удалено]
No more like a comic game with al the marvel universe
Is it really a big shame? Like 95% of them were shovelware crap. I'm happy that Insomniac's game didn't have you essentially being Tony Stark's sidekick.
Hes the only Spider-Man who hat if you thave him a game he’d have to have the whole avengers in it
Yes everyone here who is saying that the gotg game is great ain't lying, I've done 2 play throughs and I can say for sure story wise it is a fantastic game to play if you haven't already ik steam puts it on sale pretty cheap now. So what are you waiting for go get it.
I think thats because most Spider-Man games have him portrayed as an college/young adult and Tom’s Spider-Man is still a teenager. Hell the last Spider-Man video game that focused on Peter’s highschool life was the ultimate Spider-Man video game released in 2003… 20 years ago… let that sink in.
There was a vr game with Tom as spiderman.
Because movie licensed games are a thing of the past
No because the games get the full AAA treatment and aren’t just movie tie ins
He has two VR games
I don’t really see why they would. Especially when you have the movie suits in the games.
MCU movies don’t really get adapted to video games so not really
I think that’s the problem marvel game shouldn’t have to follow the mcu they should just do there own thing
I agree. But that’s what Insomniac is doing with Spider-Man. No?
Not really, considering superhero movie licensed games more or less died off before the first phase of the MCU was over. Now it's just the occasional LEGO or mobile game. I think it's for the best, I mean I'd vastly prefer stuff like the Arkham series, Insomniac's Spider-Man, or the Witcher to even the best movie tie-ins like Spider-Man 2 or X-Men Origins. The devs have far more freedom to work with the IP and they don't have to worry about getting it out around the release date of something they have no control over.
He's in fortnite so don't worry about it
He has 2 VR games
Look around Steam. Tom has like 2 VR games for Homecoming and Far from Home. That counts.
Not really times have changed, you don’t need a billion different products out there to support your movie.
We have insomniac for that tho
Press X to ask Daddy Stark for permission to web-sling.
If they make a Lego spiderman this definitely is gonna be in it lol Everytime you load in you're gonna hear peter asking tony for permission to go out ☠️
Isnt there a homecoming vr game? I mean its not a full game but its still *A* game right?
YES it is
I mean he has 2 VR games, and he was playable in Lego Marvel's Avengers if that counts
Spiderman far from home vr
