Last year, one of the most-anticipated games to launch was Insomniac's Spider-Man game. It was a PlayStation 4 exclusive, and became a major system-seller, being one of the 2018's best critical and commercial video game successes. And according to the American market research trackers, the NPD Group, Spider-Man is still going strong. As of the latest NPD report, Spider-Man PS4 has overtaken Batman: Arkham City to become the highest-selling superhero video game of all time in North America. This feat can be considered as rather impressive, as Arkham City had multiple releases on various platforms, while Spider-Man has been a single-system exclusive game. Amusingly enough, the top-10 superhero games all feature either Batman or Spider-Man in some way, with Arkham Knight and Asylum, LEGO Batman, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, The Spider-Man movie game adaptations, and Injustice all ranking on the list.

Kingdom Hearts 3 wasn't an exclusive, what do you mean?

Like Days Gone being the best selling exclusive in the USA on any console this year?

You do post some crap mate

Nah I doubt it, and doesn't need to be anyway. It's an incentive for people to get the console to play exclusive games like this.

Also I do have this game and it's definitely up there as one of the best. I still play from time to time since I've yet to finish the last two DLCs.

Depends on who you ask. Owned a PS4... Didn't like the experience. Not even a good game like this or Bloodborne could keep me on the platform. Then you've got the diehard haters. The fact that it did this well on a single platform is astounding.

When even I own this game because "why not", it does not come as a surprise.

And even so, is not the best Spiderman game ever made.

The popularity of Homecoming has probably helped.

Not to mention how cheap basic models became compared to the pro version.

Is it worth to get a PS4 Pro or not?

I can't think of any Spider-Man game that's better, even 2 as it improves upon everything.

The Pro is definitely worth it, but only if you have a 4K HDR TV. If not, it's still good but I wouldn't in such a scenario personally.

You definitely have not played them all then.

Does the Pro load games faster at least?

It does load the best spiderman game faster.

Then tell me, what do you say is better? I haven't played them all yes. But I did play 2, Web of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions and the two amazing spiderman games.

Yes it does, but I believe you could do the same with the regular model if you just install an SSD (not counting CPU/GPU factors).

Stop fussing and just buy the Pro we are not in the spectrum 48k loading days

Funny, because I'd say the complete opposite. I usually find myself playing multiplayer games (at least these days) but Spider-man, God of War, and especially Bloodborne (My favourite of the souls series) are the only games in which I'd gladly play as a single player. I'd go as far to say Bloodborne is without a doubt my favourite PS4 game. There's also games like Shadow of the Colossus which used to be my favourite back in the old PS2 days.

Regardless it's quite an accomplishment coming from a single platform compared to a game that used to be on multiple platforms.

 

[3DPiper]

what are the actual sales numbers?

 

[DS1]

Been meaning to check this one out, but I don't know if it will hold up to the nostalgia of 2.

 

[gameboy]

Not a surprise, PS4 and xbox had NO GOOD GAMES since 2014

 

[Idontknowwhattoputhere]

I wonder if the game will ever get ported to you

 

[raxadian]

Yeah.

But it says something that most of the games I would buy for PS4 are remakes and or sequels.
