Spider-Man [PS4] preview thread
- Thread starter Toumari
- Start date
Yeah I asked for that as well in the E3 Spiderman thread. Would pay money for classic villain costumes.
I did not expect myself to be so excited to know there'll be air tricks. I made the right decision picking digital for this. That way, I can really just start the game up at any time to web swing around the city. UGH SEPTEMBER 7 GET OVER HERE ALREADY.
Yeah, I know. I'm just getting greedy cause it's Spidey, haha.
Something like ''Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse'' would have been great but I understand that it may be something less commercial than what they want to do here.
I understand your trepidation, but it comes down to how well they are implemented and how fun the gameplay (around them) is.
In other words, I'm not that worried.
It has to be split 3 ways 66.6 for SSM and Insomniac and 33.4 for R*SSM and Insomniac agreeing to split the GOTY awards 50/50
The towers sound great. Could you possibly spill the beans on how QTE heavy the story is? It isn't a deal breaker, just kinda wondering what to expect.
See? Have faith in Insomniac y'all. They know what they're doing. I also love the fact that you guys have tied everything in the game to story it is such a brilliant way to flesh out all the activities.
Here's an insightful comment for you~~~
Question: Seems like the team had to be fond of the Reilly suit to give it the extra physics work. Did you find a lot of the team using it?
Any particular highlights both positive and negative from these previews in terms of gameplay. I feel like they may be too spoilery in just reading through some.
So, confirmed suits:
- Classic (damaged and intact)
- Advanced
- Noir
- Infinity War's Iron Spider
- Homecoming
- Homecoming hoodie
- Velocity
- Spider-Punk
- Scarlet Spider
- Spider-Armor MkII
- Secret War
So, we know 12 of the 25 (that counting the DLC ones, without them just 9).

This is so strange. It's a very minor thing but that alone makes you "out" on the game?
And we already know it's going to review well. The game's quality has been known for a while now.
So
prove me wrong but
isnt this game
designed as an open world game?
even if the towers weren't there it'd play out pretty much the same way
remember how Far Cry 5 did it?
must be something about towers
anyway, can't wait to play this game
nice job Insomniac

The Game Informer preview has snippets of the Kingpin boss fight

My comment was not "against" you.
I find the preview quote a bit stupid , that's it.
Previews read like 10/10 100/100.
Nothing negative pretty much all praise.
it sounds like a good number at first, but then you start listing costumes and you suddenly need more costume slot. Tom Holland Spider-Man alone already take 3 costume slot. dlc costumes please.
hopefully the story dlc will have unlockable costume too
We're you trying to spell out Spider-Man with the first letter of each line? Because it almost worked
Oh joy, can't wait for all the "Spider-Man has towers, so is too much like Far Cry" ridiculousness.
But seriously this is all sounding great and it should be an Amazing game, pun intended. ;)

You play with the classic suit to a certain point. Once you switch to the Advanced Suit, then you can craft other costumes.
Wow, 0:55-1:07, those are some fancy new animations, and they give XP too? Is there a trick button or something?
I didn't know I wanted this until now.
there are hardly any.
I believe Reiner's story mentioned there were 2 in the nearly 4 hours he played
I forgot this is still supposed to get story dlc. Like hot damn, if the main game weren't good enough, we get a slice of seconds with even more goodness? This game is going to be glorious. Might be a contender for GOTG for me.
The traversal, combat, storyline and city in general are the big positive highlights.
The worst parts reflected in multiple previews is that, given that the game kinda locks you out of side quests at the beginning, it's unknown if they will be varied enough.
Ayyy~~~
Looks sublime.
Swinging in the rain should be a treat, assuming there's weather in the game.
Personally I want to see one of these Superhero games use the style of the defining artists for the character as their art direction.
An Immnoen influenced game would be neat.
It's not minor to me. I'm bored of formulaic open world games and this seems to tick a lot of those boxes along with QTE's and batman style combat. I came into this thread hoping to read something that might change my mind like what happened with God of War (intitially I wasn't interested in it based on what I'd seen) but that's not been the case.
It's just a personal preference thing based on what I look for in games at the moment. If at some point down the line I'm in the mood for something like this then I'll get it.
Whit Insomniac saying they want to keep many surprises, I doubt they would show us half of the full suit roster
That's still 22 costumes. Even just 20 is a lot when they're each unique and come with special abilities and passives.
Like it's cool to want a lot, but sounds like your expectations are just out of whack if you expected 30+ completely unique costumes.
Yeah, but sadly a western AAA is rarely going to risk that much.
