Do you recall the days when, if a developer came forward to announce a game based upon an existing superhero franchise, the general response was to immediately write it off as a lousy cash-in, all the while secretly hoping that it would turn out to be great?

I have no doubt that Insomniac Games will knock it out of the park with their take on ol' Spidey, especially after what was shown during E3, but the bar of quality has been raised rather high since such an ambitious project was last attempted.
