Poll: Do You Want Even More PS5 Marvel Games from Sony?

I dunno. I love Marvel and have done since I was very young. I just worry that the magic will be lost if they make too many.

Give us a proper Ultimate Alliance sequel and not the watered down Switch game!

Nah I think Spider-Man and wolverine is enough for me. Would much rather have some new games with new IP or even dormant franchises like Jak, Sly etc…

Variety is the spice of life and all that…

Sure do. In fact i hope we're getting a Marvel video game universe starting with Spidey and Wolverine. Get Sucker Punch on Iron Man or Thor, have Santa Monica do Hulk and get ND on The Punisher and Black Panther.

Despite I obviously love Marvel I think they can use money and effort developing other IPs or original ideas, I know everyone loves Marvel and thats where the money is but I’m starting to get tired of seeing every single media post around net talking about superheroes, theres so much themes and topics they can explore.

@AhmadSumadi It wasn't watered down at all and had more characters and locations then past games did, with DLC you had over 50 characters what included a big chunk of X-Men.

Professor X!!

But I want to see sunset overdrive first

Black Widow stealth game. Punisher over the top violent game. Deadpool same with comedy value. Iron Man, well, because I like Iron Man and VR left me wanting more. Haha.

No I want zero supehero crap. Maybe if it would go the Unbreakable or Logan route but certainly no awful squeaky colors with tight dresses bs

Spider-Man and Wolverine is more than enough for me. I'd rather see new IPs from Sony's other studios.

No thank you. I have no interest in Marvel games personally.

It would be "super awesome" if we didn't see another again!

Nah. MCU is already oversaturated and i would hate to see the videogame market go the same way. Sony needs more than marvel properties to ensure they keep a diverse roster of engaging titles. And i say this as a big fan of Spiderman and with excitement about Wolverine

Ant Man would provide great opportunities with shrinkage and time travel, Captain America would make a great beat 'em up, Deadpool for the jokes and X rated shenanigans and also the Hulk, between doing smart stuff and then getting slapped around before doing your own slapping around as green boi, make a world where most stuff is destructible, maybe don't set it on earth so you don't feel so bad about crushing stuff, also don't turn it into the dishing mess that is crackdown 3

YES!... just give them everything and let them decide.

Nobody seems to know how to make a good single player Marvel game except for Sony.

Still have some hope for DC games, but if awful also - just give it all to Sony.

If they bring Scarlet Witch and Vision skins to Fortnite, that’ll be enough for me.

Can’t believe they didn’t do it when WandVision first aired. Missed opportunity.

Never been a huge Marvel fan, and it's a little depressing to think that Insomniac's output over the next decade, at least, will probably be 90% licensed Marvel stuff.

I think the upcoming announced games are plenty, looking for new IPs!

Think I'm all Marvelled out now.

Long as they're not all brawlers filled with busy work. I have Spiderman for that.

Tbh. I'm ready for some DC games now. Would love a batman where the focus was more on detective work.
A superman game now we have the hardware that can do one justice.

Or, a judge dredd game or new RoboCop game would be good right now

@Iver Same here.
I'd love a Dredd game on PS5.

Would love an Iron Man game. It would pair well with an upgrades system

@AhmadSumadi I'd be all over a Ultimate Alliance remake/reimagining. Remember playing the original version on the PS2!

Yes, with the right team with a good idea. No, if they try to force it.

@AhmadSumadi

I was going to mention the same thing... They basically sent UA out to die on Switch. So it got 50% effort.

I rented it, only because I had to try it out and give it a chance (just like Marvel’s Avengers). Waste of a GameFly slot.

@AhmadSumadi That game was so fun. Perfect couch co-op

I only want iron man and punisher both from insomniacs, I don't want any other sony studio making marvel games, they should focus on their own ip.

After playing Knack I want a Hulk game.

Not really, I'd rather see more games like Returnal, with new protagonists. In a recent questionnaire they asked if I'd like to see more of Selene from Returnal, which completely misses the point. I really liked her as a main character, but that doesn't mean I need to see her again in another game. What I liked most was it was someone new. The Marvel stuff is fine and everything, but it seems to kill anything else from getting a chance in Cinema. I'd hate to see this happen in games too.

I want Black Window game.

Doctor strange.the punisher.captain america and black panther.pushsquare forgot to add blade.word up son

Maybe - but it's got to be the right game for the right developer. I'd be worried that if Insomniac keeps doing them then they'll suffer the same fate as Tell Tale.

Blade game from Sucker Punch. Only one I want.

What I want to see is Sucker Punch do one more Infamous game.

The punisher..a remake of the thq game that was soooo good...ghost rider or even a blade game..

No. Original ip please.

Where's Old Horn Head at?

I'd be up for more but needs to be quality over quantity.

I'm sure most will make money regardless but Sony need to keep the excellent standards they have for first party single player experiences.

Marvel games or games like the last of us and Days gone hmm lol. No brainer there, I’ll take real games over Marvel fluff any day

Eh, not really. I'm happy with just Spider-Man.

That said, if one of Sony's first-parties had done the Avengers game, Lord knows it wouldn't have become the s*** show it is now.

I’m cool with what we’re getting. Another Spider-Man and a Wolverine sounds awesome. That said, even though I’m a big Marvel fan (mainly the MCU), I would rather have Insomniac work on something else. Another Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, Sunset Overdrive, etc. It would also be neat to see them work on Jak and Daxter or Sly Cooper if other development teams have their hands full.

Only voted for characters who wouldn't just translate into simple action-adventure games such as Antman, Dr. Strange, Professor X and Storm. Give the devs a bit of a game design challenge.

Hulk Ultimate Destruction remade by Insomniac would be amazing

A FPS Dredd game with a downscaled open world would be cool, in the style of something like Deus ex maybe... or a good Cyberpunk? 😂

I'd love a Punisher video game AS LONG AS they make the gameplay interesting (maybe a stealth shooter?). I wouldn't want it to be just like any other FPS

Urghh marvel, comics, superheroes zzzzzz

@somnambulance You've got a hell of a point. If 90% of AAA became SH stuff like what's happened to films. It'd be so boring. (I bet some would say this sarcastically but I'm being 100% serious). That said, I'd save a hell of a lot of money like I've been doing on cinema tickets...

No we have already too many. I really don't want see the ps5 generation is nothing more than superhero games. Enough is enough. Though i'm afraid we will get one or two in every single year

Please no. I really don't want to see what happened to the movie industry happen to the game industry. I buy Playstation 1st party games because they generally offer something a bit different at least in terms of setting.

I don't want the Playstation to be the Marvel console. I want it to be a Playstation console.

The only heroes I'm into are the Ninja Turtles. If they want to foot (pun intended) the bill for a mature TMNT game that's dark and gritty.... bring it on. Everything else? No real interest in.

No they want to monetize through the arse for everything these days

Sure, just no more Spider-Man. I really liked the first but couldn’t bring myself to play more than an hour of MM. It was just tired gameplay by that point.

No please way too many of them right now

I'd like to see a Wonder Woman game.

😉

A Fantastic Four game could be good,
same goes with Incredible Hulk, Doctor Strange or X-Men.

I'm pretty sick of the whole Marvel world now.I tried to keep up with the films but I'm way behind as I just got burnt out on watching superhero stuff all the time.As much as I love Spiderman game for the PS5 and the fact I'm looking forward to eventually playing Miles Morales,Spiderman 2,Wolverine and Guardians Of The Galaxy,id rather them give it a rest and give us something original.

A Doctor Strange game could work really well as an RPG: exploring the world to gather new magical artifacts to use and returning to the Sanctum Sanctorum to test them out or decorate the hub with artifacts either cosmetic or useful.

AN X-MEN GAME OR NOTHING

starwars is getting overdone with loads of games in development games and if marvel keep this up too many marvel games as well

YES!!!
The key word being from Sony studios (like Insomniac) implying quality.

Black Panther
Silver Surfer
Origin Male Captain Marvel. (I know that would never happen but hey 🤷🏼‍♂️)

Edit
Amazing nostalgia memory reading capt Marvel (male) the first time as a kid.
( The green guy haha
Somehow my brother had that very old book in his collection. The first capt Marvel ever)

Like many here the oversaturation of Marvel films has me completely bored, I don't want to see the same thing for games. I don't mind a Marvel or DC game here and there but I don't want to see one of Sony's premier studios be a unofficially Disney property.

BEND STUDIO GHOST RIDER!!!!

Im don't want too many marvel games but I also really really want a Squirrel Girl game. Pretty sure at least 50 other superhero games would have to come first before I get that gem.

c'mon pushsquare! keep the X-Men as one choice instead of splitting them up!

They could easily do the Doctor Strange story where the "bill comes due" and all his magic is taken from him and he travels the universe in search of magic artifacts to restore his powers.
Y'know, because it transpires that magic costs and Doctor Strange has been running up one helluva debt.

So much moaning here! Of course I wouldn't only want superhero games but the industry isn't anywhere near to that yet. And come on, there's more variety in superhero and star wars games than in the generic military shooter genre. Even on the other end of the spectrum, I've had my fill of whimsical indy games that address death and grief.

I love the Spider-Man games and will probably play the next one and Wolverine but generally I'm all Marvelled out. I got that way with the films because now they are all intertwined you end up having to watch all of them to get the whole story. I just like that games are separate from film / TV so you don't end up with the same thing across them all.

Don't exactly want Playstation and Marvel to be the new Xbox and Halo, Gears, Forza (which Xbox still has that situation today).

The Punisher game back on PS2/Xbox was great. The gruesome brutality of the interrogations was amazing for its day. Anyone remember that game?

As for new games I'd love to see Daredevil. An underrated character in my opinion.

Went for Deadpool (humor) & The Punisher. Craving for a good DC Superman game though

No because we already have two other Marvel games not by PS Studio coming out and probably few more yet to be announced.

No more Superhero games please.

I'd like to see Black Widow, Captain America, Daredevil, Iron Man, X-Men (all of them, not just Wolverine on his own), Punisher, Hulk, Thor, Venom.

There's other kinds of games I'd really like to see that isn't a super hero though. Like an open world pirate game for PS4/5. Wouldn't mind a proper Pirate of the Caribbean game. Was fun playing the PotC world in Kingdom hearts so I want more.

No. Never. EVER. Don't let the corporate overlords at Disney force Insomniac to make Marvel games on PS5.

@SoulChimera Bend could do that i loved their Syphon Filter games.

@johncalmc I would love something like Jean Grey with aome mind control or Black Widow spionage. Dead Pool is funny for a movie the games are quite meh and why spmepne like Thor so boring

@Saucymonk Unless it's a Superman 64 remake.
Natch.

Deadpool is a cert for me. Then Black Panther and maybe a Punisher game. I wouldn't mind some DC too though.

I would have preferred a Star Jammers or Nova Corps game to Guardians. The movies seem to have rubbed off on the franchise.

Ant-Man could be cool, but I struggle to see how they justify having to fight tiny enemies like bugs or whatever. Seems best in a lego setting. My 2 favourites were Dr. Strange (hey, R&C Rift Apart with a more realistic tone and bro, free your mind and listen to the voice within. Take some DMT, wake up... This story is the closest to reality. Loving hippy moment over.) and also Punisher because I don't think they ever nailed that darker tone (I'm basically going polar opposites here). I think Black Panther's Wakanda and tribal stufg would be a great setting, though. Anything else I don't know or care for.

Please no more superhero games I think we've had enough for the time being. How about more creative first second and third party games instead.

No more Marvel plz.. now a proper SUPERMAN game would be the bees knees.. so sick of flying around the nasty city of New York.. been there, done that in way too many games

No, we've got more than enough coming already, I'd much rather have original stories and characters. They've already hugely over saturated cinema, we don't need the same here

I would love someone to take on The Inhumans against the Kree, Maximus being one of the villians in the game, X-Men being set in Krakoa, Daredevil against The Hand or The Nova Corps with Nova being the main character, also a Silver Surfer game would be cool.

Can we get a poll option for "I will literally rip my limbs off and beat myself in the head with them if I see a single additional Disney licensed piece of content in the games industry?"

I'd love to see a Dr. Strange game that's totally ungrounded. A single-player, plot-driven narrative where he explores the cosmos and the mystical realms and encounters strange wink beings and scenarios that are an absolute spectacle.

@LiamCroft I've got a letter, hyphen, and a word for you...X-Men!

New ip please

Oooof…. No love for Captain Marvel or Scarlet Witch? Such awesome powers. But Doctor Strange would be my first choice.

Daredevil! Santa Monica, Cory Barlog director, voiced by Charlie Cox, D'Onofrio Kingpin, make it happen Jim!

Nope, not interested in the slightest. Spider-Man is a fantastically well made game, but the story was instantly forgettable.

I wouldn't mind it, but I don't think Marvel superhero games are the end all, be all. I actually prefer stuff like Ratchet & Clank, God of War, Uncharted, Horizon, Resident Evil, etc.

Hows about a winter soldier game? I also agree with a daredevil based on the recent netflix series...a jessica jones games in the style of detroit become human could be pretty cool..

While I want new ips and don't want more Marvel stuff I wouldn't say no to Sony getting their hands on a DC property, Sucker Punch doing a Superman game or Naughty Dog doing Teens Titans wouldn't be so bad 😋

Think the current rate of marvel games from sony is good. Wouldn't be closed minded to other studios making marvel games but Sony would have to strike a fine balance and not let its other I.p suffer from it.

I think an Ant-Man or Dr Strange game could add some really interesting game mechanics and show something completely different to what has gone before. Anything else would be a bit meh in my opinion.

Let santa Monica i know probably got name wrong but am sure all know who i mean let them work on a open WORLDs thor game since there technically already in that world with god of war N God of war Ragnarok even tho its different

The underpants outside the tights brigade are frequenting this site too 😖

No ta. I'd like an actual PS5 though.

I love what Insomniac has done with Spider-Man and Miles Moralis, and I think Sony is capable of making some great games. But I'd hate to see them put all their eggs in one basket.

So I'm going to say yes - do a really good Ant-Man, where the perspective shifts as you change sizes are as radical (or more radical) than Ratchet and Clank switching worlds, and maybe pick another from the list where there's a gameplay element to explore and a story to tell that wouldn't work as well on another platform.

But don't become the Marvel platform to the detriment of everything else. I want games like Last Guardian (which, though I bought it when I got my PS4 a year or two after launch, I'm just now finally starting), too. There are so many other great things on Playstation, I'd hate to see it become one-dimensional with an over-reliance on superhero games - be flexible, support variety. You can't do that if you tie up all your studios making Marvel games.

The over exsposure is real tho. I used to really enjoy Marvel now I can't be arsed with it. Really don't want video games to go the same way as movies tbh. My fav games of the last few years have been new IP's. More new IP's please.

I love Marvel and I think Marvel provides a good template for games, but not the games we're seeing. Recent Marvel games too closely adhere to the sort of movie-esque game with simple gameplay, story driven, experiences that are over in a week or two and provide no depth. This is my concern with sony's direction overall right now. As they said during the recent showcase, Playstation Studios is "all about telling stories." I believe they're more focused on telling stories than making games. If I could pick a Marvel game it would be something more like Marvel vs. Capcom fighting, or something else focused more on gameplay than on stories. I enjoy a good narrative in a game, but not at the expense of gameplay. If story is all I'm getting, I'd rather just watch a Marvel movie.

Biggest Marvel mark there is, right here, and a die-hard PS fanboy...but, no, I don't want Sony making any more Marvel titles. I'm sure they'd be good, great even, given the right character and developer, but 3rd party exclusives f'ing suck. They're bad for the consumer and they're bad for the industry.

The one exception to that being if it's something that wouldn't get made otherwise. Let's say Sucker Punch or Bend or Team Asobi or whoever had a great pitch for a Death's Head II game that no one else was going to make, then sure, go for it.

There's no shortage of devs who would KILL to have an opportunity to make a Wolverine game, many of whom would knock it out of the park, and it wouldn't need Sony's money to make it happen.

Not really. I'm happy for people who like super hero games, but I couldn't care less. Plus there are plenty of gaming IPs that are dead and could use some love.

Need a marvel vs DC game ASAP , thats been long overdue for a long time .

I think playstation should give it a rest with Marvel after the wolverine game and maybe focus on another franchise like xbox are doing with Indianna Jones.

DC maybe 😂

@ThroughTheIris56 thats so true , how about they focus on reviving dead IP's thats only dead because of the era when advertising and social media wasnt so prominent for games .

@kiki3400 facts . movie-fying games and making them political sucks .

@nomither6 Also, I wish they'd be bolder when reviving dead franchises. Instead of remaking something that's perfectly fine, I'd much rather get sequels/prequels.

@ThroughTheIris56 i agree , except for prequels. you like those ?

No, I'd rather not see Marvel bloat PS exclusives like they did with movies.

Insomniac becoming a Marvel house basically is a recipe for Ratchet to one day be abandoned in favor of superhero games. Again, Spider-Man's ip can survive without Marvel games, Ratchet's ip cannot survive with games from his home studio.

I am somewhere in the middle. Spider-Man and Miles Morales were high quality games that were fun to play, but I didn't think they were absolutely stellar.

Insomniac has an absurd production schedule but their employees seem to be happy.

It's also abundantly clear that the Marvel games makes a preposterous amount of money, and I don't think it's feasible for Sony to rely on time-consuming and expensive games like God of War and The Last of Us to make a profit.

Not really.

I'd rather see classic IP return.

I honestly got over Marvel after Endgame. I have not watched anything new since. I feel like it had a good conclusion and i'm not eager for more.
I feel the same way about the games. I played the PS1 Spiderman games. They were a love letter to fans. After that we had some on ps2 based on the films of the time and they were ok. So, when new ones show up i'm not excited. We've been here and we've done this before.

I also know that since it's a marvel property, it can never go too far with the story it's telling.

In short, reboot fatigue and predictability.

@RobN
Completely agree. Superhero games are great, but should just be one part of a much larger equation that makes up a great, diverse experience overall.

@patronmacabre That is confusing because Spiderman is very much one of those big expensive games. Plus marvel takes a cut.

I think there s a confusion with the movies. The only marvel movies I like are Wonder Woman.(I feel it’s the only character being better than originally) The rest is just boring. Video games are different. I think there s much to explore with the new generation pushing what is possible in video games.

Spiderman & Wolverine is more than enough. I'd rather Sony makes new ip, a WRPG one to compete with Elder Scrolls, something like Gothic.

Man I love Gothic, if I'm not mistaken Gothic was the inspiration for CDPR to make The Witcher.

I hope Sony would take Gothic series and remake it or continue the series. But I know that's just a wishful thinking.

I don't see the problem here tbh. It's not like Sony will only make Marvel games going forward. The next two marvel exclusives 2-3 years from now. Healthy gap between marvel games if you ask me. And honestly if any other marvel games are of the quality of Spiderman games then it is worth it.

It's not marvel but a x rated Spawn game be cool.

Iron man isnt my fave, but could be fun to play, just flying around and blasting stuff... Hulk would be great with a 'battlefield' level of indestructible environments, and the ability to climb, jump and stomp stuff like the old school 'rampage' games. Punisher would make for a very gritty 3rd person shooter, like a revamped 'Max Payne', but Ant-Man would get my number 1 vote, just to so you could willingly turn microscopic to solve puzzles or beat bad guys undetected. Or, you know, turn 30 foot tall and crush em.

I would sell other people’s kidneys for a Storm game.

All that matter is if the games are fun and varied. I think there are certainly some more Marvel characters that could be very fun to play as.
Ant Man's size abilities could be amazing fun, but potential for utter chaos that might have to be reigned in, which might then prove frustrating? But a good dev could do it proud! Black Panther could be great fun especially set in Wakanda. And I seem to be in the minority but Hawkeye with all his trick shots and special arrows, I think that has huge potential!

While there is a lot of stories that could be told in the marvel world Sony is far better working on IP it owns. Spiderman is one thing, Sony holds the right, but if Sony is working on Marvels IP its not working on its own IP and long term I think both Sony and PS players would loose out.

Im so tired of the Marvel / Superhero stuff. Truly is the McDonalds of the entertainment industry. Its just oversaturated in cinema / tv. I dont want the gaming industry to fall into the same trap.

I really don't want to see anymore right now. We have Midnight Suns, Spider-Man 2, Wolverine, Guardians of the Galaxy and the ongoing Avengers. Unless they can come up with some fitting gameplay and story ideas, they are wasting development on an original IP or even highlighting one of Sony's own franchises. I would hate for Naughty Dog to turn around and say they are spearheading an X-Men game, for example, as I would see that as a waste of their potential with their own original storytelling.

@nomither6 Yeah. I'm happy with anything that expands on a universe, as long as it's done well. Though retcons are generally annoying, that's why I'm not a fan of constant remakes.

I'll take an open world Blade game please.

If we do get more from Insomniac that would mean no more Ratchet and Clank So NO I don't want anymore really :-/ I don't mind more Spider-Man and Wolverine tho But after the 2 they are making now come out I would rather a new R&C game

Yes, give me more. The more that are made the better chance of one being good. I just replayed spiderman on my ps5. What a great game even for a second play through. Looking forward to Wolverine. My number one hero game i would like is Dr Strange.

@JJ2 it’s not different; gaming is going down the route of cinema with remakes / remasters and superhero games will take even more valuable production time money and resources away from useful projects and new IP’s!

..poll suggests the majority will “take as many as we can get”. Can I recommend a new superhero inspired by these people? Bug man.

To be honest, I think that Wolverine is very boring choice. We already have a overload of movies, games and etc from the guy. Probably will be awesome, but imagine a D. Strange game or a War game with Cap. Come on!

@SystemAddict
To be fair. I think the key word from the poll is that the game would be made by a Sony studio.
For instance if Insomniac just announced they are developing a super hero game without saying what I’m sure most gamers would have reacted ‘Hell yeah!!!’
😅

Edit
‘As many as I can get’ is obviously a figure of speech in my opinion

I absolutely love the stark difference between the poll and the comment section. So many people going "ugh, I'm tired of Marvel. No, thanks!" and the poll showing exactly the opposite.

Goes to show that most people who comment online do so when they have something negative to say. Typical of the vocal minority. The problem is that they they think that everyone feels the same way, because that's all they read.

The average gamer (especially those who don't frequent video game sites) is thrilled to see more Marvel games. Spiderman's success has been so great that those who cry that they don't want any more super hero games (as if the world revolves around them or as if there is a shortage of great games that don't involve super heroes), can keep crying, but Sony knows better its average consumer.

In theory, I do absolutely want Marvel games. But not the kind that they've been making. If I could play an awesome, huge, open world party-based RPG filled with Marvel characters, that would be one of the most amazing games ever.

I'd love a Silver Surfer game - flying from planet to planet with Galactus as the big bad, with the whole cosmic Marvel rogue's gallery along the way. The board would be amazing fun to use for traversal and the powers would leave a lot of room for inventive progression and battle. Plus the Surfer himself could be an unbelievable ad for raytracing tech.

@naruball I do question spidey’s recurring success. Being bound up and dominated by a masked lad in spandex isn’t my fantasy

A new Hulk: Ultimate Destruction from Insomniac could be awesome!

I'd like to see them handle Iron Man and Thor as well.

@Dodoo agreed. Sony seems obsessed with 3rd person "cinematically realistic" games thats either open world or has half baked rpg mechanics for some reason. I frankly think last gen sony games was sonys weakest line up by FAAAR. Almost every new IP had the same dull formula other than the blessed masterpieces that are bloodborne and persona 5. Those are the only 2 sony games i actually finished last gen. The rest i lasted about 5-10 hours before selling or giving away my copy. Hopefully wolvarine isnt just another boring ubisoft open world clone.

@JJ2 Umm, you know Wonder Women is DC, not Marvel, right? I'd kinda agree that Wonder Woman is one of the least awful parts of the recent DC films, although I'd argue Margot Robbie does a good job with Harley Quinn, despite some terrible scripts and directors.

@theheadofabroom
Haha
Yeah it’s all the same to me in movies. 🙈 Most super heroes are wearing armour and crap and very different from the comics I loved. In that respect I meant Wonder Woman at least makes sense and more spectacular I’d say than the comics.
Just my point of view though and I’m not really fan of movies.
Yea your right but I’m not sure why we should draw a line 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ryu Ga Gotoku making a daredevil game.

Netherrealm a Marvel version of injustice.

And perhaps a (...) kills the marvel universe Game.

No, it's bad enough that superheroes have taken over the movie industry, they don't need to take over video games too. I buy video games for variety and creativity, not for generic crap.

Give me Gravity Rush, Knack, Sly, Jak and Daxter, or a New IP.

A non mainstream hero would make a great game. Give fans a chance to experience them without expectations.

Cyclops or Black Panther are my picks from the list but any small time hero is fine.
