Damn this nikka meach be right every time

Single player games almost need DLC, a “remaster” or re-release to make the investment worth it.

It’s kinda like getting GAAS $ for single player content

The “middle games” or spin-offs is where they cash in on the investment.

Venom will be the “miles morales” of spider-man 2

shyt I'll be 40 when that Spider-Man 3 comes out, but I don't give a damn. I'm still gonna play it

 

[MeachTheMonster]

I'm guessing these numbers are what goes to Insomniac post-Marvel licensing fees and etc. Otherwise, people saying AAA game dev is unsustainable were underselling how true that statement is.

This looks like just straight up cost vs revenue.

When you add in marketing and licensing that shyt is real ugly

 

[Kingshango]

All them games coming out before whatever new ND’s game drops.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Venom is news.

That'll be fire. Can't wait for that one. Really, anything Insomniac releases is on the list.

Just like Miles, seems a smart way to make a "new" game with the existing work already gone.

wish i didnt have to wait so long for x-men

 

[Black Mamba]

OMG I CANNOT WAIT
Sony gon be killing it
Including that hacker when they find his ass

X-Men 2030?

Mostly a Marvel studio. That's rough.

When your "top studio" only makes comic book games.
Ratchet and Clank games got them in the red?

8 mill ain't shyt. Spidey allowed them to do another R&C. And with Insomniac's rep going forward, the next joint will probably be in the black.


And Spidey 2 already at 35% ROI in 2 months.

Spidey 3 being crossgen looks confirmed. But after this leak, who knows.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Only if the games are ass which is highly doubtful.

All jokes aside, I think TLOU3 will be the PS5 swan song






























then the Remaster on the PS6

the costs include marketing and licensing breh, hence the break even line at the bottom.


These Spidey games are printing money. I wanna see Spiderman 1's ROI because that shyt alone paid for Insomniac's purchase more than likely.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

They better have some more tricks up their sleeves my interest is at an all time low with super hero properties

naw there’s another leak showing they pay around 100 mil in licensing.

According to general reports about all big games marketing can be from 100-300

So if they were added on that chart tha would mean they only spent less than 100 mil on actual development of spidey 2. Thats way too low
