Jay Ong, head of Marvel Games, made interesting confessions. Marvel first started meeting with both Sony and Microsoft at the same time. Even before that, Marvel Games talked to Activision before Insomniac Games to develop Spider-Man, according to Ong, but Activision rejected it because it did not see a future in the project.
Marvel, which later signed with Insomniac, had talks with Microsoft and Sony, but Microsoft turned down the offer because it wanted to develop special games with its own companies rather than incorporating an external company’s special game.
Marvel Games’ leader met with former Sony executives Adam Boyes and John Drake in August 2014. “I believe it’s possible, we can beat Batman Arkham and make at least one game, maybe more than one, that can drive adoption of your platform,” Ong told Sony.
