Welp, time to play on an emulator.
It means Sony has the rights to make X-men games, not that they won’t be on PC. And they can still license X-men characters in other games, as well, provided they aren’t exclusive to platforms that aren’t playstation.
It will at least be primarily PS exclusive.
PC is just to get more $$$.It will launch on PS first, but this doesn’t tell you anything about whether they’ll bring it to PC, which is what the title implied and the person I responded to read it as.
yeah that’s how i read this as well, wasn’t there a pc demo that was leaked?
The dev demo is a build playable on pc. That doesn’t mean anything about the end product, though.
true
It will be more than 10 years before we have a PS5/6 emulator that can play it
Cool, I’ll play em in more than a decade. No problem there.
I’m confused why this surprises anyone. The Insomniac Spider-Man games haven’t made their way to Xbox, why would you expect this to?
… Because Sony actually owns the Spider-Man IP outright, whereas Disney owns (almost?) all other Marvel IPs.
Incorrect. Sony owns the Spider-Man IP movie rights, this is not the case for video games. Marvel’s Avengers would not have been able to put him in the game if that were the case.
edit: Maybe wrong on the Marvel’s Avengers game front as I forgot he was a playstation exclusive character for the game, but Sony still does not own ALL spider-man rights, but specifically movie rights.
They negotiated the exclusivity by threatening to not allow Spider-Man in the MCU after he had already appeared.
GodDAMN that’s a long time, lol.
Looks like the deal doesn’t prevent another MvC game, which is good.
That’s a long time. I plan on PC so it sounds like I’d be able to buy them, but sucks for anyone on s different platform.
I’ll be sure to play these if they release on PC and I’ll make sure not to pay a single cent.
Sure it’s your in house studio, keep it exclusive for 6 months or a year. But this latest bullshit?
I’ll stick to the Steam Deck 2, thanks.
