Spider-Man will be added to Marvel's Avengers game as an exclusive for PS4 users

vDdHT54.png

Crystal Dynamic's upcoming Marvel's Avengers video game is still in the works, but the developer has confirmed that it'll be getting post-launch DLC, in the form of a playable Spider-Man. At least, for the PlayStation 4 version. Those on Sony's platform will be getting the character exclusively, for free, sometime in "early 2021". No screenshots were shown in the announcement, but Crystal Dynamics promises that his appearance will be influenced by the respective styles of iconic comic artists who helped popularize Spider-Man. Meanwhile, in an apparent contrast to Insomniac's take on the series, Avenger's Spider-Man will use special technology in this outing, giving him access to boosted abilities. Marvel's Avengers will launch on PlayStation 4, Steam, and Xbox One on September 4th, with a next-gen version planned for later this year.

It’s never been a better time to be a spider-fan! The team at Crystal Dynamics, along with our partners, are overjoyed that we get to be a part of this hero’s gaming journey. We can’t wait for you to add Spider-Man to your Marvel’s Avengers roster in early 2021, and as we’ve promised before, he will be available at no additional cost to owners of the base game, exclusively on PlayStation.

Thats maybe the main advertising model out there.

For Attention/Awareness you target broad, for interest you target a little less broad, for desire you actually might integrate artificial constraints, because from there, what fallows is action.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDA_(marketing)

From there the calculation goes as follows, what platform do we expect to sell the most copies on? PS4? could we raise desire? Sure give them an exclusive that makes them feel special. How much of a hinderance would that exclusive be for the rest of our product to get sold on other platforms?

Almost none?

Profit.

This is greedy. Do they think people will by a whole console just for a dlc character?

How much greed can one company get? Very greedy. Sony is out of control.

Did you never play Soul Calibur II on Gamecube, PS2 or Xbox?

Link, Heihachi and Spawn were the exclusive characters.

Was that greedy of Nintendo to have their character on their home console and not on Sony and Microsoft's competing machines?

Greedy pieces of shits. At least the ps3 got spawn and Heiheichi

Yeah about that....maybe you're thinking about these blokes.

Or when Darth Vader was only on PS3 and Yoda was on Xbox 360?

What you said is just silly, it's just leveraging their competitive advantage, they have the home console rights to Spider-Man and are using that fact for their gain, like any other company would.

This happens all of the time, you're letting your bias show. You need to quit saying silly nonsense things and stick to the facts.

This is actually pretty bad. Yeah, you can argue that with Sony owning specific rights to the character they can do what they want and blah blah blah. However, this is nothing like Master Chief, Kratos, or Samus. It's not their original character. It's not something they've owned since it began, or bought exclusive full (I MEAN FULL) rights to. It's a shitty move to incentivize playing on their platform. It's also now fuel to the fanboy fire. Honestly? Anyone with any decency would want nothing with this. Apparently when it comes to money all human decency is out the fucking window..

Oh well.

1. We know nothing about how this game plays outside of some short demo reel. Which didn't show much, and honestly looked blah.

2. I can't think of one game with Spiderman in that was actually fun.
there are alot of fun spider man games...

spiderman ps1 for its time it was incredible fun and actualy good.

spider man 2 ps2/xbox/gc incredible fun

spider man shatered dimensions was great, 4 diferent play styles and such

ultimate spider man was also good since it followed the comics and was actualy refreshing playing as the villain also.

spiderman ps4 is ok, i think its abit too overrated imo, i had more fun on all those 4 games abode than spider man ps4

Marvel ultimate alliance 1 and 2 were also mindless fun and spiderman was in them :P

insomnia games has exclusive rights to create spider-man specific/focused games, aka spider-man games. While Sony has the movie rights for Spider-man movies. Marvel still owns the character it. Sony definitely paid money to make spider man and the spider-man family/friends of spider heroes exclusively playable to the ps4. I say playable because the game is supposed to be cross-playable, so xbox still needs the spidey assets.

Spider-Man was never an Avenger in the comics anyway, so it may be more authentic to not play on PlayStation.
what? lol yes it was lol several times... spider man like manny marvel characters was on avengers during some years and even the new avengers too.

He may have been more recently, but originally he may have helped the Avengers, but was separate, like the Fantastic 4, or the X-Men.

he joined in the 90s and then joined during civil war and so on, many heroes go back and forth being on avengers teams, sure he had lots of guest appearences but he was an official menber on 1991 and foward(but reserve menber only called when needed) then he was out then back in and then was out again during the superior spiderman story and so on.

so much like preety much 90% of all marvel characters, we was an official avenger from times to times.

so yes he was an official avengers on 1991 and then 2004to recently like 4 years ago or something when he was kicked out due to superior spider man story.

Reading the comments here wondering how anyone could see this as greedy. Sony is paying for extra content to make their version of the game the best version of the game for their customers for free. It's a gift for buying their version of the game that benefits them very little because it's a third party game.

Y'all realize this game is gonna be DLC'd and MTX'd to death right?

"the base game" means that there will be more heroes your $60 won't get you....and my hunch they'll lock away the fan favorites
Nope. Apparently it will be free.

Except Squeenix already confirmed that all new character and location DLC will be free, not paid. The only additional shit you'll have to pay for is cosmetic stuff and that's it.

Interesting. That makes sense with the "live service" that they said the game will be like. I'm getting a Destiny vibe, and those types of games, customization is king
