Lol Hulk!
Why not a co op Xmen or inhumans instead?

Game developers want their games to sell well..

Spawn would be better

"Rocksteady would be the following: Turtle Rock (think of their monsters from Evolve), Remedy" LMFAO! No

That is just extremely unlikely.

If anyone liked knack more than ryse then may god have mercy on their souls.

I'd rather have Black Panther, Thor, or Cap....not Hulk.

Didn't know that MS was making a "Hulk" movie?
Even if this did happen, it wouldn't be supported. Just look at launch to present day numbers. That's the case for most exclusive games on Xbox that aren't Halo or Gears, even forza has a hard time some years.

Ultimate destruction game with the crackdown engine would be sick.

Who Iz?,You Iz? lol

Hmmm...how about D-Man instead?

sony owns spiderman /argument

if a great hulk game were to come out it should also be made by insomniac. And for those already raging or panicking, it would most likely be multiplat so no worries. Stubborn people just need to start buying the console with the games though and we won't have articles like this.

Any decent studio wouldn't make it exclusively for Xbox. I believe the only reason Spider-Man is on PS is because the movie rights belong to Sony and I think it was part of the deal to get Spider-Man in the MCU.

Microsoft owns the Hulk movie rights? Without that, no case. 😉

Hulk Cancelled

This community is so atrociously caustic towards Xbox and Xbox fans. It just makes me shake my head.

Sony owns spiderman, thats because it is exclusive, otherwise it would be multiplat

Man people be butthurt that Sony owns Spider-man.

Everyone, the 'exclusive' point of the article was more tongue-in-cheek - Hulk is green, Xbox embraces green, Hulk is powerful, XB1X is purported to be the most powerful console, and using Spidey's exclusivity on PlayStation made it a fun article write. But the larger point, if you actually read it, is we'd just love a modern, technically-demanding Hulk game given he won't have his own standalone movie out of the MCU. Truthfully, it wouldn't matter if it was exclusive or not. Also, it's an OPINION piece. Read: not actually going to happen anytime soon, ie a 'wishful thinking' piece.

I agree with a lot of the commenters on here, this community is largely toxic when it comes to 'console wars', maybe just embrace, you know, all games, regardless of platform?

The reason for the Spiderman exclusivity has a lot to do with the movie rights Sony has over the Spiderman franchise, that's why Marvel managed to make Spiderman Homecoming, you don't make something exclusive to something out of nowhere without a reason as to why they managed it, business isn't as simple as you may think it.

Looks like goatse. :D

The issue wouldn't be with securing the game so much as securing a talented enough developer to do the game justice as it appears Insomniac has with Spider-Man.

I am not a comic book guy at all, I have a passing interest in the more mainstream characters like Batman or Spiderman and although I loved the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, i had never heard of those characters before the movies.

I would say I am probably typical of the average gamer then, i am aware of the Hulk as a character, I watched the tv show as a kid growing up in the 80s, but I just don't care about the Hulk today. The character doesn't enjoy the same level of popularity as Spidey, he isn't as cool as Spidey, he doesn't have any previous games that were as popular as Spiderman's.

As such, I honestly don't think a hulk game, no matter how good it is, would compete with a Spiderman or Batman title.

spiderman is a sony ip

That would be fantastic...Don't see it happening, but a good hulk game with insane graphics would be very welcome!

Incredible hulk: ultimate destruction was a badass game for it's time. The ability to rip a car in two and use it as boxing gloves and grab poles and throw it with enough force it would pierce the mechs was awesome. To me it got the feeling of being the hulk just right. If they are able to make another one just like it then more power to them.

Doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Why? Well, we all know Sony has the rights to Spiderman, even if a dev wanted to release it on other platforms Sony wouldn't allow it. MS doesn't have the rights to the Hulk so a dev would need to limit themselves to just the one platform on purpose. Of course with a big bag of money that can work but also Marvel needs to agree. Who says they are also willing to have their property be used on only one platform?

This is just wishful thinking, only because they are somehow upset they don't get Spiderman on their preferred platform...

Great idea, but it wouldn't be exclusive. Microsoft don't have any link with the Hulk (unlike Sony with Spiderman).
If it was released as an exclusive it would more likely be for Sony's machine because of the user base.

nah dont want them to ruin a hulk game its best in playstation,s hands

ugh not the HULK... that would be similar to another crackdown style game. I'd love to see Wonderwoman honestly, or a character that has more than just brute strength. they've struggled to make good movies with him even as the main character. Wonderwoman has more buzz, doing better currently and the sequel has just been confirmed.

A Hulk game would need destruction....

If they started on a Hulk game it would be ready in time for the Xbox x2.....

I would enjoy a good incredible hulk game period I don't care if its exclusive to anyone. I'm sure he will appear in the avengers games square is making but doubtful he gets a standalone title. Either way I'm all for more good super hero games

I just want insomniac to make an PS4 remake of Resistance 1 and 2.

Sony exchanged licensing rights with Marvel, movie rights for game rights. People are acting as though Sony was just handed an exclusive out of the kindness of Marvel's heart. There could be a future Hulk game , however it would be multplat.

I enjoyed Ryse & Quantum Break....As for The Order I never finished, but I do enjoy Infamous & my R&C games an Knack was decent

Spiderman is exclusive because Sony own a proportion of the rights to the spiderman movies, and therefore, exclusivity of the game was probably something they were able to leverage when integrating Spiderman into the Marvel cinematic universe.

Pulling a character out of Marvel like the hulk, as an exclusive, would cost a tremendous amount of money, and I don't think the hulk is popular enough to justify doing so. Making things worse, hulk gameplay wouldn't be all that disimilar to games that already exist, like crackdown, or prototype, where players can perform many of hulks moves (superjump, super strength etc).

So, it's a pretty impractical suggestion. Huge cost, low payoff.

Sony just needs to announce bloodborne 2 and the community will go nuts.

Hulk cant even get another solo movie in the MCU due to rights issues with universal. Best he can do is cameo. A game ain't happening.

Very unlikely

🤔.😁.😂. 😂.😂.😂

That would take some inspiration, creativity and risk. What say you Microsoft?

Doubtful.. Not many devs are willing to make games that wont be available to the majority of gamers.

@Krysis Sony owns the movie rights to Spider-Man thats it everything else MARVEL owns

Microsoft would also likely pay so much that any sales missing out on PS4 Microsoft makes up for it anyway

Why would they do that when the game would be dead on arrival. Just like the hardware, software barely sells on the system either. Especially outside the US but even in US, PS4 is dominating the software charts.

It would be so sweet to have Hulk exclusive to Xbox but I doubt it would ever happen. MS hasn't shown any signs of future exclusives this generation which is a flat out shame.

I wouldn't be against that, but I'd prefer a Flash/Green Arrow made by Rocksteady (with Batman cameo/easter eggs).

Spider-Man games been trash for just as long as a Superman games

The Hulk, really?

except sony owns the market and Disney and Marvel are about the $$$. never going to happen.

replace hulk in the title with wonder woman and you'll get sales

and miss out on the megaton of sales from the PS4? Theres only a handful of developers who will give in to the short term gains of xbox only. Half of them stopped, the other half are some stubbborn devs.

200,000 copies sold and 8,000 more sold the next year "we are glad we worked with xbox as an exclusive" X,D anyone who says that in that kind of state, I dont believe them

Marvel favors Sony simple as that. Always will.

from a financial perspective, theres 0 sense in releasing anything exclusive to XB1.

Yeah, unless Microsoft Pictures has exclusive rights to the character, I don't see this happening.

lol

Good luck to MS finding a second party studio who would be willing to make an exclusive for their platform. I can guarantee a third party would rather their game be multiplat and MS isn't known for their plethora of first party studios. I guess it's debatable whether Insomniac is second party as they did make Sunset Overdrive exclusively for the XB1, but they're at least a third party studio with strong enough ties to Sony that they'd consider producing a high profile exclusive like Spider-Man for their system. Most third party devs wouldn't want to ignore the potential revenue of the best-selling console, unless MS also fronted part of the bill for their game's development or published it, which could happen but probably won't.

Why is it, because PlayStation receives something, Xbox must also? Here's what you SHOULD be asking from Phil - new IPs that are exclusive to his brand. Platform defining experiences only to be found on Xbox. Not a Hulk game because Sony is getting Spider-Man.

Making cases for a particular console to get an exclusive. This what they call Journalism right ?

I'd rather have a black panther game.

This would actually be a decent idea with the same level of city-destruction in Crackdown...

Hello to everyone that is focussing on the Spider-Man deal rather than what could be a fun Hulk game. It's my belief that SONY acquired the game rights to Spider-Man during the negotiations for Spider-Man appearing in Marvel Studios' films - as Sony still do technically own the film rights to Spidey. The game appearing on other platforms won't happen ever. So saying Insomniac are being stupid for missing out a chunk of the audience is just silly - they aren't the ones deciding who gets to play the game.
Now, Microsoft should pursue exclusive games, and create MANY first party games. Cause I don't want Phil's response to the exclusive question being just about sea of thieves and crackdown...

Even if Xbox could get the Hulk rights what team would they give it to the crackdown team if I had to make a guess. They aren't as talented as insomniac.

Unlikely. Literally the only reason that spider-man game is console exclusive (leaving tons of money on the table) in the modern era is because it was part of the deal that Sony made with Marvel to making homecoming. It's a unique situation that's only possible because Sony is a multimedia company that does both games, music, movies and technology. Whoever made this deal was smart.

I could have sworn Xbox guys weren't jealous of this game....hmm.

Don't they want to sell it though?

Desperate much?

Hes really that upset? Of all super heros you want a hulk game? Ive only played 1 hulk game which was last gen back on pc and it was trash.

The perfect choice for Xbox. An exclusive game about a 1 dimensional character for a 1 dimensional console.

They'd probably just take crackdown 3 and re-skin the main character.

Can't you just report it if you're being "harassed"? Doubt this will ever become a thing.

That's why you put in a report system that actually works, and then have rules that don't ban you for talking smack or dropping an f bomb here and there. But yeah let's have intrusive AI reading our emotions so that i can get ban when the poor snowflake loses her mind over a kitchen joke.

Be careful that you don't laugh too hard with your fiends that you cry, or your pals might get banned.

What an incredibly dumb idea with seemingly good intentions
