PS4 News: Sony's PlayStation 4 Reveals Exclusive Spider-Man Game and Batman Coming Soon
The Spider-man and Batman will be soon swinging onto the PlayStation.
On Monday, Sony announced at its Electronic Entertainment Expo that a virtual reality rendition of Rocksteady Studios' "Batman: Arkham" series is landing on PlayStation VR and an all-new Spider-Man adventure from Insomniac Games will be onto PlayStation 4.
"We've really been pushing for a new era in gaming," said Peter Phillips, Marvel's executive vice president of interactive and digital distribution, after the show. "It's about a franchise approach to our characters. We wanted to find a triple-A partner that could really do justice to this character."
Ted Price, president and CEO of Insomniac Games said that the Spider-man game won't be connected to the upcoming film "Spider-Man: Homecoming" rather seasoned Peter Parker.
"He's got a lot of experience fighting crime in New York City," said Price. "You'll see this Peter Parker struggling with the challenges of balancing a chaotic life with his responsibility that he feels toward the city."
After Microsoft announced plans on Monday about the more powerful and slimmer new version of Xbox, Sony solely dedicated its E3 briefing to showcasing games coming to its PS4 and PS VR systems.
The company also added that E3 was similarly working on a more powerful version of the PS4 but didn't plan to show it during the gaming industry's annual trade show.
In its place, Sony showed titles such as the zombie drama "Days Gone," android detective tale "Detroit: Become Human," the long-awaited puzzler "The Last Guardian," and a Norse mythology-inspired version of "God of War."
According to ABC News, several games will feature support for PS VR, the $399 headset that works in tandem with PS4 that Sony announced will be released Oct. 13. The role-playing game "Final Fantasy XV," horror sequel "Resident Evil VII" and sci-fi shoot-'em-up "Star Wars Battlefront" will all have VR modes.
