I think I'm talking more from a sales/publisher's perspective, you're talking more from an enjoyment/gamer's perspective. They needed to show off gameplay well in advance last time because we didn't know if they nailed the swinging, the combat etc. Now that we know it's all there and they just need to tweak and expand on it, Insomniac really don't have to do much to convince people to buy the game

They could deadass drop just a few minutes of gameplay before the release and coast off the IP/reputation garnered off the first game

spider verse is gonna sell the game like it did last time
they’re gonna promote each other

No they still need to show off gameplay lol this is Sony biggest first party game of the year by far. Miles also was mixed for many or felt so samey that people were less enthused .

To be honest

It's Spiderman S*** selling 10 million+ no matter what

Lol that is what my first post is saying that you responded to

Starfield has been delayed 30 times

Communications hasn't started for it to be weak

But from the beginning had gameplay out and is much larger scope than spider man 2. Spider man 2 got its formula or sauce down though . The root of the question was is the formula or sauce enough in miles and spider man 1 where people won’t want major changes or more gameplay mechanics or coop or whatever it may be ?

Communication not starting with game 5 months away . A game that was announced nearly 2 years ago and is biggest first party game of year is weak . For any game

I think as a gamer I'd appreciate to hear that they got rid of those f***ing climb towers to reveal the map and basic ass same QTE every time to interrupt a carjacking side quests But from Insomniac/Sony's POV, they don't need to do s***

Also 4 months is a lot of time. They could hold off on showing gameplay until a month before release and there'll still be plenty of hype. Actually better for them to wait until Zelda, FF16, etc drop and their hype dies down imo

Insomniac execs lurking KTT rn reading El Chapo's posts about how their communication has been weak

I just hope to see basic gameplay around e3 time of what new they are doing . That is me personally. Again if you read my first post I am agreeing with you they know their s*** going to sell regardless so the demands are low

Yeah, we not really disagreeing about anything I'm just saying I get why they don't feel the need to market the game that hard. And personally, I'd prefer if more games had shorter marketing/promotional campaigns

I’m not saying full marketing but showing some basic gameplay in June about what’s new would help for me . I’m personally not going to get it at launch just off name cause miles was weak for me and even some of original I got bored but to each their own .

I’m for games showing less and keeping it succinct .

if sony really wanted to stunt they should attach the first trailer for this to Across The Spiderverse

wether it plays before or after like a post credits thing maybe even

I remember being obsessed with the first game before release, I was even watching gameplay on Reddit in my university lectures Dropped 800 on the game because Black Friday and the hype got to me (new games cost 1000 here). Spent about 3 hours that night playing and when I quit, saw my total completion was at 18% Decided I'm never buying a game on release again, they really finessed me with that 7/10 ass game

So I totally get wanting to see gameplay, first one was a solid foundation but there's plenty of room for improvement. Btw, can you say which game(s) you're working on? Not going to ask you for details or anything

first game sucked

hopefully they stop this mid superhero stuff and work on a new sunset overdrive next

I sign a NDA so can’t . But we are in agreement first game was solid foundation . Second game I got to know more before truly hyped to buy at launch

you brave .

You mean first gameplay ? Cause no way are they going to attach a gameplay trailer to a movie
