How Insomniac Came To Work On Spider-Man

[@BOAiak]

After Spider-Man PS4 is released, and is as good as it looks, Insomniac won't be seen as an underdog dev but rather as one of the best in the industry.

[@alextownley9388]

BOAiak they’ve always been one of the best in the industry to me.

[@-ajme-allan-8132]

BOAiak *Marvel's Spider-Man*

[@lukep98]

They were the first developer Sony went to, to develop a Marvel game so I wouldn't say they're underdogs at all.

[@BOAiak]

At 4:08 Ted says that they view themselves as underdogs; and explains their reasoning. I can definitely see where they are coming from, sure they've made Spyro and Ratchet & Clank, but also Resistance 3, Sunset Overdrive and Ratchet & Clank (2016) which while good games, didn't had exceptional sales. They are underdogs in the sense that, despite being veterans, the name Insomniac doesn't have quite the same weight that Rockstar, Naughty Dog, PlatinumGames, Santa Monica or even younger devs like CD Projekt Red have. I wasn't trying to underestimate their talent or history, what I meant was that Spider-Man could very well catapult them to those new heights.

[@BlackParade01]

Well this is the first AAA game by Insomniac. The anticipation of this game is very high.

[@SourceSpy91]

Ted Price has got a really cool voice

[@stealthmaster6472]

SourceSpy91 he can voice batman

[@SourceSpy91]

That would be pretty awesome

[@DeathBringer769]

And some really cool games too ;)

[@SourceSpy91]

@Deathbrewer Ted, is that you? lol

[@smirgoose4534]

SourceSpy91 you know who has a cooler voice Charlie day

[@futurafreeze]

Watching this after the fact is so satisfying, knowing how well it worked out. One of my favorite games I’ve ever played.

[@LORDSAMZYGAMING]

Insomniac is horrible They cannot create spiderman games on Android and they are attacking r-user and yper studios because they are creating their own spiderman games for android with the same features Useless people They should not destroy my love for spiderman Not everyone has PlayStation But at least they should create a new great spider man game on Android and ios for once in their life and stop attacking people who want to make people's dreams come true 😡😡😡😡

[@zanderkrantz4209]

These Spiderman PS4 videos are the only thing keeping me alive. Thanks game informer😂

[@Bruh-qe1nk]

Zander Krant we'll get ready to die because they're about to finish

[@-ajme-allan-8132]

Zander Krantz *Marvel's Spider-Man*

[@zanderkrantz4209]

- AJME - Allan - You sound like an Xbox fanboy. Or like someone with OCD. But thanks dude. As if i didn't know that

[@-ajme-allan-8132]

Zander Krantz Don't have one Merc with a mouth... Just correcting you. Lol

[@dreamerabe]

Just remember to keep living till September 7. :P

[@solofox9426]

Insomniac is one of my very favorite developers. I love Sunset Overdrive and I wish it did better so it could be a franchise. One of the most underrated games.

[@theanimal4008]

Solo Fox best xbox exclusive hands down

[@dbzfan0190]

Chris *Xbox's ONLY exclusive and it's mediocre which is why they didn't make a second one.

[@Coopman35]

If it would’ve been on the ps4 it would’ve did better most Xbox gamers don’t like games like sunset overdrive they mainly like multiplayer shooters

[@dbzfan0190]

derron cooper They did it for Xbox because they wanted to give them an actual exclusive because the system was selling poorly but it didn't help it at all.

[@Coopman35]

Dbzfan 01 I understand I played sunset overdrive before I sold my Xbox one and I thought it was amazing I wish it did better so they could make a sequel

[@thelegendgamer33]

I've always liked Ted Price; he seems like a very level-headed, honest individual and when he talks it's clear that he isn't full of himself and he's happy doing his little thing. Very humble genuine man (and hes not a fricking weirdo like so many other big Devs are in this industry).

[@tariqstone8581]

*cough James Gunn *cough

[@farmsalot1233]

This will kick off a new marvel universe like iron man did for movies.

[@if3rd]

Anthony Tosh well this game is set in it's own universe but I think that avengers game from crystal dynamics and square enix will kick off a new marvel universe for games like the mcu.

[@DVRKSTXR]

Ira Ford No. This game’s storyline pertains to Spider-Man solely. It’s a contained storyline, much like solo MCU movies (solo Iron Man’s etc). However, the impact of the Avengers and other Marvel characters are still felt, given the existence of Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Santorum and Avengers Tower within the game.

[@cj3670]

PHXNTXM no it's like the arkham games it's a Spider-Man centered game but it's in it's own version of the marvel universe

[@DVRKSTXR]

Cameron Pack That’s the same shit. The Batman Arkham games were always a self contained story, that were apart of an already larger DC universe. Just like the self contained MCU movies that don’t involve the Avengers as the main focus, and yet they still exist.

[@Ardi_0]

Square Enix will do that

[@DiscoverMarvel]

All I can say is thank god you did (Guys stay out of the replies someone’s spoiling infinity war)

[@DiscoverMarvel]

Charlie Marie I’ve already seen the film so didn’t spoil it for me nice try tho

[@juliomaldonado2142]

Charlie Marie don't forget the rest of the guardians

[@BlackParade01]

REPORT THE MOTHERF WHO SPOILED FOR "HARASSING SOMEONE ELSE"

[@mysticpowerz808]

Charlie Marie I expected at least one of the replies will have spoilers 😂

[@averystupidcommenter5664]

Charlie Marie I love you lol

[@deathtrap2672]

Much respect to Mr.Price & Insomniac .

[@CasepbX]

Been a fan of Insomniac games since the first Spyro. I've enjoyed every one of their games that I have played. I don't have a single worry about the quality of Spider-man, it will be top notch.

[@Gawillamon]

Approached by Sony and Marvel and they show them all of their franchises and ask them "what do you want to work on?"...... WOW!.. that's incredible... Insomniac is blessed to be working on this game and I wouldn't be happier if it were any other developer because, for one, they picked Spider-Man to develop, and you can tell they are passionate about this game and delivering an incredible experience and I have faith in them.

[@Andy.G8]

Amazing to see what they’ve done, their 120hz Performance RT on all their recent games is impressive. Can’t wait for Wolverine and Spider-Man 2 in 3 months.

[@Gawillamon]

@@Andy.G8 Yup it's been an _amazing_ time to be a Spider-Man fan!

[@kumaran140]

Game development is more difficult than making a movie. Perfect game must have great story, great characters, excellent graphics and also engaging fun gameplay. To nail all this is not an easy task, but Spiderman 2018 did it all. Take a bow Insomniac!

[@franskel9647]

I love the passionate atmosphere coming from the developers of Spider Man PS4. Really makes me happy that they're trying to make a genuinely entertaining game knowing they're a fan of Spider Man themselves. This is going to be the best Spider Man game to date. No doubt about it.

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

And it is! I'm happy for them.

[@Young_Special]

And now it was a success.......there making a miles game for it to come on ps5........for the sequal i know for a bet its going to be made😆😆😆😆

[@Coopman35]

I really hope Sony purchase Insomniac games they been making great games for Sony for a Very long time now

[@Fkhalfblood]

derron cooper they already tried years ago when Sony bought ND but insomniac rejected the offer and rather be independent 2nd party studio.

[@averystupidcommenter5664]

Fkhalfblood ND?

[@averystupidcommenter5664]

Fkhalfblood naughty dog?

[@floydwilliams2414]

derron cooper Sounds like a good idea if Disney doesn't do it first and they have way more money!!

[@TheChillStart]

Today is the day!

[@SqueebPlays]

Insomniac's track record has been fantastic, and the fact they don't just crank out titles like other studios speaks to their talent as well.

[@burnout713]

I've been a fan of Insomniac since my mind was first blown by Spyro Year of the Dragon. I couldn't be more proud of what it appears they are accomplishing with this game.

[@Vintagesonic1]

Been playing Insomniacs games since Spyro to Spider-Man.

[@BakedRobbie]

what In the actual ass

[@eddiefromironmaiden3225]

Charlie Marie shut the fuck up bitch

[@glendaramos8022]

+Ghostlyy p volvió bp

[@mutalix]

Ted Price is a guy that TRULY loves what he does, many folks jump around, company to company, field to field, Ted co-founded and till this day has remained with Insomniac, respect!!

[@TheAmazingLucas]

I wish them all the best because this game will either sink them or make them fly.

[@lonewolf863]

The Amazing Lucas I’m hoping for the second one but... times 10

[@Miadaskate]

Insomniac has a well-proven track record. As someone who has played their games for 20 years, I trust them 100%.

[@rhithym]

one game aint gonna tarnish their rep, insomniac has been a sleeper powerhouse for decades.

[@marcobrilli8669]

Miadaskate "I trust them as much as Harvey Dent" [cit.]

[@Miadaskate]

Marco Brilli ...? I’m confused.....are you trying to compare Insomniac to a fictional comic book character?

[@rhithym]

i have literally grown up with insomniac games, and spyro was my first video game when i was a toddler. to hear them still consider themselves underdogs in the industry is so humbling, because i personally see them as one of the last of their kind - a company that truly makes video games out of passion and love for the medium. theyre on my list of best out there, along with sucker punch, naughty dog, and cdprojekt red, just to name a few.

[@Loansome_]

Man, Insomniac sounds like such a pure and committed company. Each one of these videos shows how much work and care they put into this game (compared to other bigger companies like EA who only care about money) and that makes me more excited for this game to release

[@4TheWinQuinn]

Ratchet and clank has the BEST soundtrack of any game I've ever played. And it still looks beautiful and holds up today. A masterpiece.

[@Shlooomth]

The fact that this game got made and is as good as it is makes me very happy to see how enthused they were to work on it

[@BakedRobbie]

IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS GAMEEEEEEEEEE

[@gregwxst]

One of the best studios ever. You can tell how passionate they are

[@niceguyrio8073]

Can't believe they call themselves underdogs when clearly they are held in high regards by everyone who play video games.

[@BakedRobbie]

IVE ALREADY PRE-ORDERED MY COLLECTORS EDITION

[@outinspace6079]

Jack Middleton same here

[@RogueTomato19]

I'm gonna get my hands on a PS4 Pro x Spider-Man bundle. Edit: If they release one, which is almost certainly :)

[@Shadow4192008]

It was sold out in 1 hour when it was announced here...same for the other edition so I had to get the standard...oh well can't wait nevertheless.

[@MrCrazyduck22]

But do you know what Spider-Man is on top of regarding the statue

[@moosegravy87]

So much same

[@CognizantPotato]

This man and Spider-Man are two of the main reasons that insomniac is quickly becoming one of, if not my favorite developers.

[@jaywayytoofresh9670]

Nothing short from pure amazement

[@Callamuchi]

I freaking love Ted Price, I love the fact he's still with insomniac its so refreshing.

[@anmolagrawal5358]

Dang, watching interviews from Insomniac makes me want to root for them. Another one is Hazelight Studios ; developer of 'A Way Out' and 'It Takes Two'

[@edgiousmaximus9027]

I think Naughty Dog (known for uncharted) should do a Captain America game and Sucker Punch (known for infamous) Should do an Ironman game While Insomniac makes a sequel to Spider-Man

[@KJBiblePreaching]

I’m gonna freakin cry tears of joy just from the music

[@Crispman_777]

Insomniac is love, Insomniac is life. Please never stop.

[@marvelrocks2518]

So glad insomniac is working on Spider-Man. I know they was going to do a great job on this game but they made it even better than I expected. Can't wait for it. Already pre order my.😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@DosaBoy420]

That's too generous of Insomniac to call themselves underdogs.

[@Glimpse_It_Recaps]

the CEO looks like Bob's boss from The Incredibles

[@ernestoc153]

I've always looked at Naughty Dog and Insomniac as rival studios. Ever since the Spyro and Crash days. Then it was Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank going head to head but now they have kinda diverged. Naughty Dog tells more mature stories like Uncharted and The Last of Us while Insomniac goes with that more comedic approach with games like Sunset Overdrive. Both studios will forever be sharing my top spot for favorite game studio.

[@CardanScott]

Can't wait woooo 🙌

[@sixteenstone007]

Can't wait to see what Insomniac does with Spider-Man. I've always felt like Sucker Punch would also be a good fit for Spider-Man because of the platforming in Infamous.

[@frankwoods9680]

1:55 Then you get Wolverine 😂.

[@sidney2938]

I think Insomniac has a different definition of underdog than the rest of us if they think they are still an underdog after spiderman ps4

[@jonahmueller3383]

U really know they’re an underdog when they aren’t verified on Instagram yet smh

[@Shrek_Holmes]

Ted always seemed like a nice person

[@liger4414]

I'm as old as Insomniac. Nice.

[@stephonolomax7749]

Insomniac is so humble...... they achieve(d) great and big things, yet remain so modest. I love that about them.

[@steven310250]

September is the month of Insomniac with big games like Spider Man and the Spyro Reignited trilogy releasing in the same month both made and were made by Insomniac games.

[@gloriousporpoise9731]

Insomniac arent making the spyro remaster

[@exia2321]

Made and were Made.

[@chadmarco]

The thumbnail looks like spiderman on acid.

[@Phoenixyy2k]

Hahaha 😂😂

[@TheLifeOfDan1]

Insomniac, one of my favourite developers

[@rocketgroot4311]

*First Spider-Man & now Wolverine..*

[@the1stMoyatia]

Insomniac games can try out other Marvel franchises like The Avengers, X-men, Guardians of the Galaxy, heck they could even do Fantastic four if they want to.

[@tribolm]

I am afraid Insomniac might end up like Traveller's Tales, which used to have a diverse set of awesome games, but now is now only working on LEGO related stuff.

[@combojohn7953]

Do not worry Insomniac, we'll love this game!

[@rogan200139]

Very beautiful game, I could watch swinging videos forever and still be mesmerized, well done guys

[@draculathevampire934]

Now this is real news

[@sharkyrazz]

In 2020, this game is still plenty of fun

[@kriwient]

Praise Sony. Xbox is almost dead. EA got rekt. Konami too. All we're gonna see next gen is healthy competition between Nintendo & Sony. Just masterpieces like Bloodborne & Botw. No lootboxes, always-online with no used games etc.

[@Nilos94]

Mosh what an absolute troll. Claims xbox is almost dead, doesn't research that xbox revenue is up 18% or 345 million. Do me a favour and be quiet, darling.

[@OG-Jakey]

Yes praise Sony, the company that won't allow cross-platform play and likes to fragment gamers with exclusives. They're just awesome!

[@gloriousporpoise9731]

Tbh I'm not that big a fan of online games although I do play them I prefer single player offline

[@TadpoleTea]

MiniExtreme Exclusives are a big part of what sell systems. If you want crossplay go play a Pc because as of now the Xbox One isn't worth owning at all' just like they haven't since the original Xbox.

[@mark.w5697]

Mosh Xbox won’t be dead for a while

[@jgodoy_]

Sony hit the jackpot with this game! I’m sure Sony has already got more Marvel exclusives coming in the next few years.....

[@thinkz-gamerz1038]

THANK YOU FOR MAKING SPIDER-MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jdsd10]

This is the start of the MGU

[@Hinryu1984]

Marvel gave them the choice!!!! I'm so glad they chose to make a spider-Man game 👍👍👍👍

[@Punisher6791]

Hopefully it will be as good as Spider-Man 2

[@NikkoNikko98]

[@anthonyj6092]

It’s obviously going to be better lol

[@ddarkman1festt]

Have you played spiderman 2 recently? It aged horribly

[@TonyBiggs_]

It won't.

[@kratinshastri6550]

gteroer5 won't? Lol you high or something? Cause you really need to watch the gameplay videos that have dropped on this channel recently.

[@liamreilly5971]

Bro imagine if they did an open world Iron-man game

[@brenohenrique6666]

R&C a crack in time is my favorite game of theirs

[@eddiefromironmaiden3225]

Breno Henrique no

[@zdawgslifts]

I agree breno

[@itskuda7459]

So cool. But I think you should make your own insomiac marvel universe with other iconic characters and kinda make it like the mcu of the video game universe

[@rnedda3483]

Thank you! Insomniac!

[@PardonJulianAssangeNow]

I love insomniac. Biggest mistake they ever made was selling the IP of Spyro...

[@dejadejod3rYT]

They never ownered on the first place

[@abusalehahmedroop2138]

Insomniac Games should make a Daredevil game, taking place in the same universe.

[@JoshMarshain]

Inspiring to see how far studios and this industry itself can grow and evolve and try new things, why sony hasn't gone out of their way to straight up buy insomniac is beyond me, why wouldn't you want to lock these guys down?

[@shineinouzen7412]

Insomniac doesn't want to be bought. Sony has tried.

[@eddiefromironmaiden3225]

JD Marshall yeah bro they want to be independent

[@ItsUrBoi]

I get goosebumps every time things about this game!

[@myREALnameISiAM]

I am a 'spider-head' and i have always been disappointed with SM games. I know it is a grand challenge to make a game with a character that can do what SM does in the environment he does it in. That's why I think *whoever* developes SM games should have a dedicated engine that is designed to handle the specific requirements of a SM game. Keep the good parts good and focus on the details that need to be polished. [ Landing, dismounting, character model movement when traversing walls (especially transitions), and more ] For once in my life, i want to watch SM reach over the edge of a building and pull himself up in a video game.

[@brodiepeck555]

I already pre ordered the standard edition when it came out as a pre order

[@lonewolf863]

At 3:20 it kind of looked like he was swinging from the sky

[@porkchopsensei2742]

Who's your favorite of the Sony developer trinity: Insomniac, Naughty Dog or Sucker Punch?

[@luxeternity]

The Red Warrior insomniac was never Sony 1st party ..they want to stay 3rd party

[@porkchopsensei2742]

Still loyal developers to Sony

[@luxeternity]

I wouldn't say loyal ..more to have good relationship with Sony ( a really good one)..they make sunset overdrive for MS too and they want to make sequel but MS doesn't say anything yet ..Sony do tried to buy them but they want to stay independent ...any 1st party studio is referred as those studios own by certain company ..well not counting EA or Activision or taketwo..they stay 3rd party

[@porkchopsensei2742]

Good relationship is a better term

[@gloriousporpoise9731]

The Red Warrior oh thats a really hard question but I have to say naughty dog since uncharted 4 is my favourite game if all time

[@cyotey4378]

This is a bit random but Price looks pretty similar to Batman in Arkham Knight. I hope the game is as good as it looks. But considering they're massive fans and I've been seeing pretty much every video available both official and from fans/consumers I know it will be. I can't wait!

[@ghostechful]

Cmon Im still waiting for a iron man game. Won't say I'm not hyped for this game this is the only game I have pre ordered in my life.

[@randomrandom4050]

Such a good game.

[@angelogalimba133]

I really hope they will make a ben 10 game. They basically have the same theme and it works so much well with spider-man.

[@luxeternity]

Huh..so that's why this Spiderman is PS4 exclusives....I read somewhere from recent interview that Bryan Intihar actually in awe and respect the quality of Sony 1st party games and when Sony give them the opportunity to make this Spiderman , he say he want the quality of this Spiderman to be in the same level or raise the bar yet again

[@Th_Uslss_Indvdl]

Watch this start a Marvel Interactive Universe now

[@HearkBeat]

"See the blood, the sweat, the tears, we're making your games, we're making your games, fueled by diet coke and beer, we're making our games, we're making our games for you" Ted Price, 20th anniversary No matter what Insomniac do, I will always be impressed of how delicate they are with their games. Me ranting about the R&C reboot in 3 2 1 Go! The Ratchet and Clank reboot was horrendous with the butchered story that have nothing redeeming at all about it, in the actual 2002 R&C I belived that Ratchet and Clank were truely friends near the end after all the fighting between the two had finally stopped and they comes to term with each other. In the reboot however they become rangers like as soon they arrive at a new planet with a bunch of forgettable rangers that I can't even recall the names of and Ratchet and Clank never really talks to each other that much. Made Drek a goofball instead of a serious and sinister businessman, made Ratchet a boy-scout instead of a thrill seeking and trigger happy lombax that weren't afraid to put someone at gun point or take revenge (he got of course more noble further down the series but never a darn boy-scout). Nefarious is a good villian and all, but why was he depicted with green skin when clearly in up your arsenal he is seen in the vid-comics that he hade a white skin tone before (spoilers) Qwark accidently push him over a railing into cogs below and why even in this reboot when it were Drek that Ratchet and Clank tried to stop in the first place so they just throwed the iconic for the first game villan away for shit and giggles. But anyway, Ted Price or if anyone at Insomniac reads this, please don't make a sequal to that reboot mess, please continue with the future series or just port the original trilogy to PS4 if you want newer generations to fall in love with the Ratchet and Clank franchise. Fall in love just as I did as a kid and till even today being were hyped for anything R&C related (the offical art book was great by the way), I love you all at Insomniac games and expect great things as always
