Absolutely amazing. Probably my favourite way to get around outside of gravity rush.
Damn this game on hard doesn't mess around. Enjoying the challenge.
Also years of Arkham have screwed me over in this game , so many tines dying trying to dodge with triangle .

there's a scene later with a decent amount of blood and wrecked cars and death around
So I just accidentally abandoned a long and frustrating multi part mission because apparently you have when you go out of bounds and the game asks you whether you want to abandon the mission you have to press O to confirm abandoning a mission and X to cancel abandoning a mission. Whoever thought this was a good idea to have O for confirm in a non Japanese version?
Yes I know they are both labeled but when the screen pops up mid action you don't really read it. And this wasn't even the first time it popped up for me, the first time it did I did read that O was to leave and X was to stay but it's just not something you see often to remember as such the default should be used i.e. X to confirm abandoning and O to cancel.

yeah, i get the sense that random crimes and swinging are pretty much all that's left once the map is cleared. which, hey, that was the fun part about Spider-Man 2 in a nutshell lol.
as far as traversal goes, it feels closer to Sunset Overdrive with swinging than Spider-Man 2.
you have to equip the impulse web or whatever - it's the 2nd gadget upgrade you get
What happened in the end, they give you a refund or send another copy out?
They've stated if it hasn't come by Monday morning, they want me to call back up and will allow me to purchase it elsewhere and cover the cost. Plus they've added some credit onto my store account as an apology.
Yeah this was my problem during the first two hours. Oddly enough after a night of sleep I was handling it perfectly fine this morning.
Web them up with R1 then hold triangle. You'll wave them around and stick them to the nearest wall. This might be a skill you have to buy.
I wish I could customize my controls. I keep wanting to hit triangle to dodge and keep dying. 9 years of muscle memory is doing me in.
Yeah this. Having one set control scheme is bullshit, I don't care what game it is.

my copy arrived this morning around 9:30 EDT - Amazon Canada
Kinda off-topic: I like that good ol' SCEA logo on the OT pic. Because "Interactive"=Casual FIX IT SONY!
Those are a lot of games... O:
When the first sales numbers come out we have to subtract a couple thousand. XD
The motion blur in the game is phenomenal. Not only does it look good but it's used so effectively.
I ended up getting a refund. They didn't even reply to my ticket so I had to get PayPal involved. I got it from ShopTo instead and that came the next day.
You actually don't need it. If they're close enough to a wall, car, etc. you can spam the regular webshooters and it will push/web them onto the wall.
Now obviously the impulse web gadget makes it super easy.
I...am really bad with the dodging. I had to spend my first skill points helping me with that.
That one-two punch of GOW and Spider-Man is unreal. There's going to be a lot of PS4s sold between now and the holidays.One of my friends only played video games on mobile in the past, and told me that he didn't need a console because his phone was enough
Look on his Snapchat today and now he has a PS4 with God of War and Spider-Man
He finally saw the light
Same. The Arkham system was much more forgiving. But it's for the best, the perfect dodge face web is great.
Not good, cheers for clarifying. Assume you won't be using them again then ah.
I know there was actually a graphical upgrade but does anyone else prefer the blue tint in the E3 demo during daytime more than the yellow one in the final game? Its probably more realistic but something about the more bluish color to everything was kinda appealing.
I just use impact webbing or spam r1 with the standard webbing when they're near walls.
It is, environment is really important and recognizing what you can do in any given second makes it faster and more mutlifaceted than Arkham.
You can hit them with a regular web shot or two and then launch, combo, knock back them into a wall. The Impulse Web just makes it super easy.
When you get the swing kick, it gets a lot easier to stick enemies to walls.
I don't think I have that low-poly bug some were talking about. Unlocked this manually since my pre-order code still doesn't work.
EDIT: Or maybe I do? I noticed the hands were a little off but I thought they were all like that.
You caught it, if it is a bug, notice the sharp edges on his profile and the fingers? ;)
What time zone are you in, regarding your preorder codes still not unlocking?
I'm thinking I should Redbox this one just to get my own impression.
Seeing some photos of costumes, how could they not have the Amazing Spiderman 2 suit? That was the best one.
A blue shining symbol on the map. You can filter the markers with triangle.
What is a little bit disappointing and what hasn't been addressed yet is that the game apparently uses different character models during gameplay and cutscenes/menus/selfie camera mode.
I noticed it first on the Spider-Punk costume where the model quality discrepancy is very noticable.
This is how the model looks in cutscenes/menus/selfie camera mode:
This is how it looks during gameplay and in photomode (outside selfie mode). Polygon edges are clearly visible (head outline, shoulders, buttons, hands...) and the web lines on the face are partly incomplete:
The same discrepancy of gameplay and cutscene models applies to other costumes except the classic Spiderman suit that players start the game with. It seems to be both in gameplay and cutscenes of great quality.
It's unfortunate the quality loss even affects the new white spider spidersuit of the game. There are visible polygon edges (knee) and crude texturing (white parts on the heels):
jstevenson?You sure now it's not a bug? Cause so far I also thought it is, cause other models look amazing, for anyone not looking into the OT, this is what I wrote there, every pic without selfie mode:
"Man, the pre order DLCs indeed look like absolute shit in comparison to any ingame suit. I don't know if it's because of the "unlocked with pre order code bug" or if they look like that in general. I mean, look at that, 2 of the normal costumes in the game:
F'N breathtaking, right? Now look at this garbage:
That's a fucking difference."
I'm in the UK, it's 4:30pm on the 7th now. Got the codes after midnight and they still don't work.
Yeah, they should have worked by now. :/ I'm in Europe too and they started working at about 3am today.
