I'm looking at the magazine now, and I'm not really sure. It doesn't specify the Performance mode as 4k either, it just says, "The native (dynamic) resolution is lower." I don't understand the wording there.

I'm looking at the magazine now, and I'm not really sure. It doesn't specify the Performance mode as 4k either, it just says, "The native (dynamic) resolution is lower." I don't understand the wording there.
My info comes from NX Gamer's analysis video.
I think he mentions it in this video:
Nope. We have to wait for Insomniac to share some performance footage before such an analysis.
I will literally never understand how people can still say, "I hope it looks this good!" When we literally had a 7 minute demo of the game a few months back, where the game, while obviously not looking 100% like Photomode shots, looked fucking phenomenal.
I mean, if this was the first time we were ever seeing the game, I'd understand, but we've actually seen it being played, now on two separate occasions, and it's looking fantastic. And that demo we saw a few months back was probably an older build, and more polish and refinement will have been put into the game as it approached release.
At this point in gaming history, we have PC's and consoles that can produce incredible visuals, coupled with stupidly talented artists and designers. The PS5 and Xbox Series X are impressive pieces of technology. The games are going to look good, guys. Especially the ones coming from developers that have the time, budget, and talent to truly make them shine. Insomniac is one of those developers.

according to the article, it's a part of an unlockable suit, it hides in your bagpack and helps you out during combat.
I definitely did not have resolve and pre ordered it immediately with Demon's Souls. And hey at least it's $50 instead of $70
I feel like it'll be Gwen Stacy as Miles' classmate, but she won't get her powers until Spider-Man 2.
Yep, games already look so good. Next-gen is only going to get better, much better.
To be completely honest, I'd be happy with games in the next gen looking like the games of this gen, but with stable performance, and some bells and whistles here and there. At some point, the constant pursuit of graphical excellence becomes unwieldy. I don't mean that in terms of the power of the machines, but more in terms of the workload and pressure it puts on development studios. Like, people have to make this shit, you know? And that comes at a cost, whether it be money, time, or, of course, man hours.
I don't want developers killing themselves just to give me my 15-30 hours of entertainment.
With that said, the above doesn't mean developers should stop pursuing technical advancements in the industry, just that the "video" part of "video games," has reached an amazing point where very little is out of the realm of possibility when it comes to realizing the vision of the development team. Maybe it's because I grew up in the 80's, where the heavy lifting was done in our heads. We could get lost in the worlds of Super Mario Bros 1, or Castlevania, or Contra, or Metroid, because our minds filled in the gaps (with the help of some pretty awesome artwork in most instruction manuals, of course lol).
Now, we have games that look like this:
or this:
and this:
For me, I'm like, "Dudes, we're there, man. The dream has been realized!" lol
We've come a long way from this:
over the past 40 years. I mean, I grew up on those games. Each new generation blew my mind with each jump in technology and power, but it was always to serve an end: to realize worlds for gamers in a way they couldn't in the generation before. I think the real star of this current crop of consoles and PC advancement is definitely improvements due to SSD speeds, and what that's going to allow game developers to do in terms of designing worlds that they weren't able to do before. I am 100% certain that this generation isn't going to just be the last with prettier graphics. The pretty graphics come with the territory, but how games are designed is going to see a pretty significant shift that's exciting. And it's not just because "games load fast now, wowee zowee!" I think gamers are going to be pleasantly surprised at what talented developers are going to be doing with gaming as the generation matures.
My hope is that the start of the generation having such an emphasis on stable framerates and performance carries through the entire generation and beyond. Graphically, I'm beyond satisfied with what we have (improved facial animation and modeling isn't bad, but not everything needs to be "OMG, the photo-realismsss!!!")
MY WISH OF LICENSES MUSIC FROM PEOPLE LIKE JADEN WAS REAL 😭
I never bought Spidey and will now and I only got 30% through TLOU2 and got stopped by life stuff.. so will continue on PS5.. good times coming.
Bruh. I even left out games like Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Nioh 1/2, Ratchet and Clank, Lost Legacy, Horizon, Detroit, Bloodborne. DUDE YOU ARE FUCKING SET. Congrats.
Spidey is like a first party more polished Arkham game but with a more fun traversal system. You're going to love it.
just catching up on all of this.
omfg at this spidey blowout. The suits the video the details
all of my hypeeees. Sorry Cyberpunk but this is now my most anticipated game for the fall

Just started flipping through the e-issue of this Game Informer and noticed a possible clue about a certain villain. Anyone want to take a look at tell me if I'm crazy or misinterpreting this?
On page 27, there is a Miles Morales figurine that is coming out this holiday season. The company that makes these figurines, Sideshow/Hot Toys, seems to have some that tie-in with the Spider-Man game (Advanced Suit and Anti-Ock Suit figurines). Am I missing something or does the figurine's base look symbiote-ish?
EDIT: Did a little more digging and it looks like the figurine was first released in early 2019 and the base is indeed Ultimate Venom. Being that it's an old figurine, I'm guessing it's just a coincidence and they're trying to move remaining units of the figurine with the new game helping to increase exposure.

This is almost me, and let me tell you, it's mind-blowing. I picked up a PS4 at the end of November 2019 after a 5-year hiatus from gaming. I've only played through a couple PS4 games so far (Spider-Man and Uncharted 4; currently playing TLoU Remastered). There are so many graphical and gameplay advancements that I'm sure many day-1 enthusiasts and gamer-critics have become jaded with, but I there have been several times when I'll just stop and stare my screen while thinking, "This is absolutely incredible."

I would be surprised if they're doing anything about that storyline before Spider-Man 2.
Updated my post with an edit and some additional info. I think it's just a coincidence. I'm with you in that I would also presume they are saving this storyline for SM2.
By the way, those figures looks incredible, never knew about this company.
Considering nothing about side content and statements like this...
I'm assuming the side content is still the same repetitive crap. Disappointing but I knew it would be.
That was by far the worst part of the original game sadly.
I really want them to leave this shit behind in Spider-Man 2, craft few and good side quests and leave the usual "complete x,y, z tasks in this part of the map" busywork-
Story run of the remaster plus DLC playthrough? You def need to play the DLC at least. Its important to the story, and already affects the plot in MM.
Spidey 2. In the spoiler regarding MJ, it says...
she is going to Symkaria and Peter will follow her.

That all sounds really good. I hope they cut the "you have to do side quests now" parts out of the game. They really ruined the pacing for me. It took me forever to beat the game because by the end I was just tired of the side quests but had to complete some to move the story along.
Eeh, would've been more interesting if it just straight up said Latveria. Spidey been to Symkaria many times without dealing with what's on the other side of the border.
This is the first I'll be able to see ray-tracing for myself in person. I'm definitely trying that first & will be switching back & forth a lot.

You don't have to complete any actually, you can just swing around and the marker will pop up.

As someone who started gaming on Sega Mega Drive, I agree with this sentiment. We should see a healthy balance between presentation and scope, devs shouldn't be put in a position to work their backsides off anymore.
I think we're at a good point now, for me I'd be happy with improved animations and models, global illumination and generally higher performance.
While I do not need character and environment model and textures to be any higher than we already have. Like I don't even mind visible polygon on wheel or blocky finger etc. I do wish thing like animation, physics, cloth sim, lighting keep getting better.
the music stuff really sounds good, I just hope that the OST has more hip hop influences as well.
I think those things will always continue to improve, and they should, but I definitely feel like, at this point, we've reached a wonderful point in gaming where we have the means to truly execute the vision of the design team. Like, look at the Demon's Souls Remake for example. It finally looks like the concept art as originally intended, but the PS3 and From Software team were unable to really pull that off. Not that From Software didn't have the talent required to do it, but more so it being a combination of the PS3's difficult to master hardware, as well as the time and budget the Demon's Souls team would need to create a game that matched their intention; some teams were able to pull that off; see: God of War 3 on the PS3 most certainly realized its concept art, as did the Uncharted games, but those were first party studios with massive budgets behind them.
I feel like (or maybe hope), that this generation will see developers and publishers creating development pipelines that are friendlier and more efficient, allowing teams to realize their goals, while also not pushing them to the brink of their physical, mental, and emotional limits. The steps that the PS5 engineers have taken to ensure that the console was a "developer friendly" machine is great. It's still not going to be a cakewalk (game development is still very hard, and requires a lot of effort and communication and balancing of many elements), but at least it'll be a bit better in that development teams won't be fighting with the console as much as they had, say, the PS3's Cell architecture. The PS4 was a step up, and it looks like the PS5 is a step up from that.
