Just saw that they really truncated Manhattan after Central Park:/

Really wish games would give more emphasis on the parts of NYC that aren't considered "main". GTA IV remains the standard.

AV Club has a pretty good article on why and how the game's approach to JJ works well and how the game cleverly uses it to bring a new perspective to Spider-Man, that feels like a smart upgrade for 2018

Even more interesting, though, is the way Just The Facts fits into the game's wider view of New York's online ecosystem. Being a 23-year-old living in 2018, the game's version of Spider-Man has his own official account on the game's in-universe Twitter stand-in, tossing online quips around with the same ease that he hurls bad guys across the battlefield. Said social media platform is absolutely filled with Jameson's online fans and detractors, discussing his show, arguing with each other, and, in one memorable case, offering up a good old-fashioned fake account mocking him at every turn. In the past, the Spidey properties have rarely spent much time discussing how people react to Jameson's hate for the wall crawler, simply taking it as read that bad headlines equal bad public perception.

My BestBuy order is saying it's ready for pickup right now, but I didn't get a text or email yet.

I'll have to call.

The only thing I want is the theme, I don't think they're on the same code. If you want the Avatar and the early unlocks I will give you those codes. Also I may be pre-ordering the digital version if a store I know doesn't get it early today so if I do I will get the theme that way and I will give you the all the codes from my collectors edition copy tomorrow.
No worries, It's okay. :)

Is anyone else's Amazon copy not arriving till next week for some reason? I might just cancel my order and get it digitally...
September 18 for me. It must be selling really well to cause that long of a bump.

Preloadin' now. Some of the reviews turned me off the game, but there sounded like enough good that I might as well try. If it ends up being an Arkham clone with good web slinging I'll enjoy myself enough.

Welp, was listening to the Giantbomb review podcast and got spoiled. Nothing major, but it was a cool little thing that Insomniac was alluding to but never revealed. It's only a few more hours so I think I'll make it.

Yeah I listened to their review and was pulling out my earphones for good amount of the story talk. But I had been spoiled by what I think you're talking about from Jeff on the BombCast, kind of annoying but it sounds like you find out early on.

Hey, we have a name for JJ's voice actor

Although he can't quite match the character-defining bluster of J.K. Simmons' J.J., Darin De Paul gives a performance that's a commendable mixture of comedy and rage

I guess that puts the Bryan Cranston question to rest.

Is anyone else having issues with amazon uk's pre order code being invalid?

Does anyone know anyway for me to contact Sony support in the uk? I am struggling to find a number.

Wait till the game is actually released. Then the code will probably work. Happens often and mine doesn't work as well yet.

Wait until tomorrow when the game is officially out. This wouldn't be the first time a code doesn't work until the actual launch date.

Is there a pre order bonus? Is it retailer independent? And can I still get it if I go to Gamestop today?
Thanks
