peter looks better, but like some others have said, we were old pete for 60hrs and had to go through the ending with him, its kind of weird to completely change the look. I always thought he did look too old, but they couldve updated the look to be younger or find a face model that isnt so drastically different.

I would've understood them changing it if it wasn't based on a real person, but it was. Could've just updated it. Sad to see it gone.

I don't get the "to make him look more like Lowenthal" reasoning...who cares? It feels like a deepfake to me now and worse fitting than before.
Character artists and mostly animators on the project. Really simplify things by a great length.

Really interesting being able to see this fully blown up.

Looks like they're using checkerboarding in the reflection and a number of effects (like DOF) are missing in the reflection. Looks great though. I'll be choosing 30 fps with RT for sure when I play this.

I cannot fathom that so many are saying they prefer the old model to the new one.

Young Face Peter is worse because he's more conventionally attractive. Preferred the average looking Peter, fits the character better IMO.

"This does bring us to one of the bigger changes. In order to bring the best performances to players with our next-generation Marvel's Spider-Man games, we have recast the face of Peter Parker. We loved working with John Bubniak on the original game; however, to get a better match to Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal's facial capture, we have cast Ben Jordan to be the face model for Peter Parker on the PS5 console. He looks incredible in-game, and Yuri's moving performances take on a new life."

I think OP should edit this in. At least theres a reason for the change

A while back, I actually made a thread where someone had deep faked the Raimi cast into PS4 Spidey (+ some additional deep fakes with Holland & Garfield).

One thing that stood out to me was how well the the MJ/Dunst face mapped over, while Maguire & Holland didn't work as well as Garfield did for PS4 Peter. I speculated that a large part of it was to do with the proportions of Dunst / Garfield's faces being much closer to models of the game characters — so I can see how it would be easier for them to get better capture results by using a model thats more rounded / closer dimensionally to Lowenthals' face.

(Obviously pro level tools and dedicated team would get a much better result than open source deepfake sw though)

The Advanced Suit in the remaster looks like E3 2017/Reveal version rather than the Retail one.
Looks good.

Totally going to platinum this again. Kind of wish they had explained the game modes. I assume the 60 FPS mode is 1440? Would that mean a 4K quality mode with the RT effects would be 30FPS? Would be hard to pick between those options.

Insomniac: bring me a twink and bring it to me right now

that's a lot of effort to use Tom Holland's likeness without just casting him and pay him his royalties

New guy looks like he is 5-7 years younger, I don't get why they would make this change
New Peter looks like a 23 year old playing his age. Old Peter looks like a 29 year old playing 23. I got used to old Peter but if they had to recast I'm glad they went with a younger looking actor.

It's interesting and unexpected that they changed Peter's face. I like the Tom Holland look.

Now show me the undies costume so I can decide what I really think about this remaster.

New Peter is a notable upgrade, i'll just have to get used to it. It actually reminds me a LOT of the Lara Croft in Tomb Raider Definitive edition change. It's better, just different.

Peter went from off-brand Andrew Garfield to off-brand Tom Holland.

I consider that an improvement.

they made peter look like a typical pretty-boy. i loved the original peter because he looked "normal" and not like a model.
i hope they did not turn mj into the typical hot girl.

LOL, always fun to see how resistant gamers are to even benign change, seeing some of the over-the-top reactions here.

That vid looks smoooooth. Can't wait to see this in action in person in November. I almost restarted the campaign when I bought a 4k TV recently but I'm glad I waited.
