Spider-Man

Lol wut? Everyone here talks about Jeuxactu.

How about "Dulashockers"? Someone was in a hurry to get that graphic out.

Anyway, another great exclusive. Sony keeps delivering. I'd pre-order it, but I don't think I'll be done with Yakuza Kiwami for a while.
 
Debunking the Spider-Man 'downgrade'
What if we told you it's been upgraded instead?

Those expecting confirmation of a downgrade to Marvel's Spider-Man when assessing final code should probably look away now. Having stacked up the final game against the E3 2017 presentation, our overall conclusion is that Insomniac is on the money here - there have been changes, as there are during production of any game - but there has been no technical downgrade. In fact, we'd say that the final presentation is upgraded in key respects, both technical and artistic.

Figures. Much ado about nothing.
 
Here's the cliff notes for the DF video posted above:

- character detail the same across builds
- uses Insomniac's Temporal Injection technique instead of checkerboarding
- dynamic res : PS4 Base 1080p most of the time but can drop to 900p, PS4 Pro avg 1584p
- HDR support
- big detailed open world with big indoor environments
- NICE WATER GRAPHICS
- water/puddle reflections are not implemented the same as the E3 2017 build
- good vehicle traffic density
- stable 30fps on both base and Pro versions
 
Looks great, I prefer the E3 look of the suit/water by far, but the extra resolution on Pro is an upgrade.

Reviews are all great so far, lowest I've seen was 8.7, this has to be PS4's best year yet as far as volume and quality when it comes to exclusives.

I was going to reply that Dualshockers is more known than a lot of those, then noticed you were calling out the spelling lol.
 
This is gonna be so good, and I’m glad because I had to buy a PS4 just to play it lol

I don't think anyone should be surprised that this game is actually good. I think that most should be shocked if it completely failed all expectations. Insomniac has a proven track record.

Resistance is my favorite of theirs.
 
Ratchet & Clank is mine.

They're a solid developer, but they have had a dud or two (e.g., Fuse). They seemed to pour all their energy into making Spider-Man the best it could be, though, and it paid off. Reviews are very good. I'm looking forward to hearing impressions from those who pick it up.

I had never played an R&C game before the remaster/rebuild that came out on the PS4 and I loved it! The gameplay feels great, the graphics are awesome but the personality and humor really push it beyond a lot of other mascot style games that I've played. I also played some of Sunset Overdrive through game pass and while I didn't like some of the gameplay choices they made, it also has a ton of personality and a great sense of humor and I could see why others liked it so much even if it wasn't my cup of tea. They are probably the best suited to make a good Spider-Man game of any other established developer I can think of, can't wait to play it :)

So do Sony now own the Spider-Man game rights or just for this title?? Seems odd Disney and Marvel would be happy to limit Games to one console from here on out.

I don't think they own it, maybe an exclusive game or series was part of their deal when they allowed Marvel to use Spider-Man in the MCU. Insomniac keeps saying they were given the choice of which character to make a game for and they picked Spider-Man.
 
Can't take more than a few minutes of that guy, his voice is so grating lol and he usually seems like someone just trying to get attention any way he can.

Very rarely listen to him as he normally just rants to get attention but apart from a few issues he really enjoyed this.
 
Game looks great so happy for Insomniac. This makes me wish they would do a Spawn game with this amount of polish.

Spider-man is with Sony and Insomniac for the foreseeable future but that doesn't Spider-man cannot be in other Marvel games just not THIS Spider-man.
 
Oh man, no 90 metacritic and no puddles. I don't think i can buy Spider-Man now.

Wait a minute.. there was no downgrade. Just the usual fanboy nonsense. Okay, let's go!!!
