I wonder if the save data you had on Spiderman PS4 would even carry over to remastered.
It's possible it's a completely new SKU.

I feel like they would've already said something if they had good news to share. They already confirmed Miles Morales PS4 -> PS5 upgrade is free. Then Insomniac has been answering questions on twitter since the reveal but they've ignored all the ones asking about this topic.
Aren't most people offering free upgrades of their PS4 titles on PS5 if you own it? Not a great look. I love this game but don't know if I want to buy it and the DLC all over again.
So if I buy the PS5 version of this game digitally do I also own the PS4 version? Or is it only if I buy the PS4 version do I have both the PS4 and PS5 versions?
Also do we know if it's cross-save compatible?

Not for 180 of bad policies.
They 180 their policy for 24 hour check in, with how you owned your games ect.
They axed that in like a span of a couple days.
The stuff sony needs to clear up are updates to existing owners of games like spiderman, last of us part 2, ghost. And maybe if enough people speak up they change prices of games.
Thats all they need to change outside of their non BC attitude. BC is an added bonus when it comes to PS1,PS2,ps3. But prices, and update to PS5 version of games you already own is the bigger stuff.
Sure, but that's a completely different thing. You're talking about a performance/texture patch for a backwards compatible PS4 game, where most of the discussion is around getting the PS5 remaster, which is essentially an upgrade of the GOTY edition, which includes all the DLC. I think it would be awesome if they put out a BC patch for all base owners, but I don't think they should just give us the remaster. That doesn't make any sense when I never paid for the DLC.
The whole thing is a consumer punch in the face.
A piece of glorified DLC being sold at 85% of the original game's price and then forcing already established purchasers of the original to pay that price plus $20 to essentially unlock ray tracing and some texture packs.
Fair. I'm sure they are well aware of the issue and hopefully things get cleared up soon.
...because existing owners already have the base content, and there's precedent for first party studios to provide next gen updates for free to existing owners of recent games?
Oh ok that makes more sense. That stuff also had a much bigger impact because it was so radical and unheard of. This isn't, and I don't think it likely has a meaningful impact.

Imagine the sense of embarrassment being a shill for a corporation that only sees you as an addict with a dealer complex that they want to exploit and extract as much money from as possible.
Well, after price gouging their customers with higher game prices and the need to buy PS5 controllers for playing PS5 Games while those games also release on the PS4 news like that definitely leave a bad aftertaste to the whole PS5 rollout so far.
can´t shake the feeling that there will be some more bad news till release.
They're calling this a remaster, not a next gen update. Whether that's a distinction without a difference in this case, we will find out.
I can't think of any Sony precedence here?
Pretty sure its a new sku. On PS4 you can even unlock the trophies again in remaster versions.
Not good if true.
I do think folks are jumping the gun a bit on this though considering Eric doesn't work for Sony or Insomniac.

I'm still not 100% convinced. But since Insomniac/Sony still haven't said anything, it's not looking good. It just doesn't makes sense they offer the free upgrade for Miles but not SM.
Ok so literally the only physical games I have that I want to carry forward that haven't been covered by PS+ or this new PS collection are Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of Us Part 2. Selling off all of my games and I'll just rebuy those on a deep sale.
What? You can pre-order Spider-Man for £52 with shopto. It's like lost legacy in scope, meaning it's not as big as Spider-Man and not as small as an expansion. Similar to what Lost Legacy was to Uncharted 4.
Glorified DLC? Paying $20 to unlock RT and texture packs? Yeah, it's super clear you have no clue what you are talking about.
Because MS, CDPR and a couple of other developers are doing it and it's a pro-consumer move.
This is what I'm hoping for.
But I'm willing to bet it wont :(
It's not that they can't, it's just that it looks bad compared to Microsoft and others who have said they're going to provide similar upgrades for free
Sorry, but can someone explain what a next-gen upgrade entails?
They're not remastering the game or anything it would just be better resolution and frame rate? You can still play spider man on PS5 through backwards compatibility (though I only own the disc so I guess I can't get the digital PS5 to play it)

So Microsoft would charge for smart delivery of Xbox One games if they had a better launch lineup of Series X is what you're saying. I can't even.
Witcher feee upgrade
cyberpunk free
gears 5 free upgrade
most others free upgrade
New characters, abilities, animations, updated models & assets, new set pieces and cinematics. I'm not denying this is shorter than Spider-Man 2018, but this isn't an expansion. It's a standalone game, it's a continuation of the story. Just like Spider-Man 2 will be.
See the link about this game being compared to Lost Legacy BY THE DEVELOPERS!
And yes, 20 dollars for ray tracing and texture packs. That is what you are getting, sorry if you can't wrap your head around a soulless corporation trying to extract every dime they can from a captured consumer base.
And people that have some self awareness and control would prefer people take a stand but people like you are simply quick to rationalize their preferred brands gouging as morally justified because of perverse, bizarre, corporate fanboysim
Sounds like a good deal if you haven't played the first game.
I don't get the expectation for games that came out 2+ years ago to have free next gen upgrades. I understand the desire for it of course, but realistically it's not an idea I'd even entertain for games that came out beyond that last six months at an absolute maximum.
An article talked of "overhauled visuals", maybe updated models?
From what they've told us, the remaster includes Ray Tracing, 60FPS mode, upgraded models (from Miles), increased resolution, increased draw distance (+ more pedestrians / cars in the streets) and more photo mode options. Base game is still playable via BC, but it will be basically the Pro version at 30FPS still.
Maybe I'm confused but does the ps5 not come with a controller? Whats the issue here?
I'll never call a £70 game a good deal but yeah a bit like Control it suits those who haven't bought prior versions more for sure.
Did you actually play The Lost Legacy?
If you had you would know it was a proper game and hardly shorter than the first Uncharteds. They also never called TLL an "expansion". They called it a standalone game.
That you have to buy a second one just to play PS5 games? for example when you want to have a pad for a second player or one fully charged pad on the charging cradle so you can continue playing when one controller is out of juice.
they want you to buy a second PS5 controller to play Sackboy with another person but on PS4 you can play the game with the Dualshock 4 and justify it with "Dual Sense features" when they could just enable PS4 controller support on PS5 games.
All of those things were in all of the three games I listed, so what makes Spider-Man: Miles Morales any different?
A standalone expansion is literally just a standalone, smaller game that uses a base game as its foundation whilst adding on to it in various ways. There's nothing inherently bad or good about them. The only issue with Miles Morales in particular is that its relative value is a fair bit lower compared to current-gen and non-£70 RRP next-gen games; but that's because the RRP for next-gen is £70 instead of last-gen's £50 so Miles Morales' 'budget price' is automatically higher.
