Topic: After Marvel Wolverine - What is next for Insomniac Games

Right so, given that Marvel’s Wolverine has officially been released, what do we think will happen next? Do we think that Insomniac Games will develop and release more licensed Marvel titles, such as a new Spider-Man or Venom game? Given that no sequel or DLC for Marvel’s Wolverine has been announced yet, shouldn’t we soon know what Insomniac has been up to? Could a new Ratchet & Clank game be in the pipeline? Maybe we will hear something next year from Insomniac Games.

It feels a bit strange that Insomniac games hasn’t communicated much with the fans before or after the release of Marvel’s Wolverine.

As many know, Insomniac are one of the few studios that have developed licensed superhero titles during the last few years. I mean, could they really not be developing a sequel or at least some DLC to Marvel Wolverine given how good the base game was? Maybe early next year they will announce something?

I'd love to see a Punisher game, the PS2 one was brilliant. Imagine a full city, different enemy spots to cleanse/punish, a Frank Castle hub/base, his vehicles, ultra violent obviously. It wouldn't just be a super hero game but a shooter too, but will it happen? most likely not. He's too unsafe. Venom or Carnage would be fun, I read about those characters after the Spiderman games.

I’d rather them remaster Ratchet & Clank Size Matters.

No more Marvel, please! Please make it stop.

My only hope is Spider-Man 3 is not dissapointment in story department unlike 2nd game and the gameplay has radical improvement because it got boring fast in 2nd one after a few hours. I couldn't take another one with the same mechanics only with slight changes.

@Scottyy I forget the ending of Spiderman 2, it may have teased a third game but honestly I didn't like 2. I think the reason is I played Spiderman, then Myles Morales (fantastic game) followed by Spiderman 2. It was all three back to back and by the time I got to 2 it felt watered down almost neutered. Small things like in the first game having to press a button to stop a car, in 2 it was automatic. Or showing up to fight some bandits, in 2 I'd get there and Myles or Peter were there and it felt like the A.I. didn't need me there to begin with. For me the game only really took off half way in when things got serious and Venom was playable, I really liked Kraven but it felt like they cut some of his content out too. The rest, tending to bees/the environment, that was odd. Do you think they will make a Spiderman 3?

We know from the leak a few years back, that they will be only doing Marvel games through to 2032 at least, plus a new Ratchet & Clank for 2029.

It will most likely be a Venom game next as that was supposed to be last year, probably a Miles Morales size game. And then Spider-Man 3 after that. I believe the Spider-Man 2 Online and Wolverine Online games have been ditched.

@GirlVersusGame

Yeah, SM2 is easily the weakest of the three Spidey games. Gameplay doesn't have enough innovation, story is mediocre and 3rd act is AWFUL, pacing is weird, there isn't enough set-pieces, Miles is just "there", boss fights are awful, Venom is awful etc. etc.

3rd game is definetely coming, it made money enough to justify it. But I doubt we will get any Wolverine focused game for example.

@JohnnyShoulder There's a game called Ratchet and Clanks Rift Apart is that the same studio as Spiderman/etc? and would you say it's worth trying after all of these other games/Grand Theft Auto etc, it's hard enough keeping up with the games let alone the studios. I wasn't sure what else Insomniac made.

@GirlVersusGame Yeah it is the same developer. I'd say it is worth a go. It a fun time with incredible looking graphics, and would be a good game to play after GTA. Insomniac also did the Resistance games, but I've not played those as I never had a ps3. They are supposed to be decent from what I've heard.
