The only other Spider-Man game I've played was Spider-Man 2 on GBA, so no matter what this will be good in contact.

Graphically how does this game look so fucking incredible?
I mean Insomniac always had really great visuals but this is another level :o

Edit: wow the suit rippling in the wind

8-15 hours for main campaign is usually a safe bet for this type of game. The only outlier I can think of was Infamous, which was 5-6 hours of main story missions.

Regarding game length
I'm gonna guess about 16-18 hours main story, 20-25 with everything else. Would put it in line with all of the other Sony single player games (save Horizon, which as an RPG is a little different)

Would also be about the same length as one of the Arkham games.

Edit: Wondering how large the DLC story content is going to be. Hope it's pretty meaty, as the Arkham Knight DLC was disappointing in length.

Being able to turn off chromatic aberration is great, it just looks plain awful from all the gameplay clips I've seen.

I gotta be honest, the lack of side quests is really killing my hype for this game. The idea of Spider-Man going around the city doing little mini-stories for citizens, the Daily Bugle, things like that - the small time narrative stuff - is the most exciting prospect of a Spider-Man game to me. Collecting backpacks, diffusing bombs and taking down criminal territories just doesn't get close to cutting it. That's just busy work.

What makes it particularly disappointing to me is that Insomniac already showed they can do great, fun side quests like this in Sunset Overdrive. It's why I expected to see them here. It even makes MORE sense here.

I know people have answered you, but just to add to those, Bryan Intihar even said there are side villains in this game, so I don't think we have anything to worry about.

So Peter
is totally working for Oscorp, right? The previews mention he's a scientist, but they're pretty tight-lipped about his actual employer.

You played on ps4 or ps4pro? Smoth? And how you feel about web swing mechanics?
PS4Pro. Made sure not to play on some set-ups that were (obviously) with the ugly 120hz thingy on.
Super smooth! Didn't notice any hiccups or frame drops or anything. And I can spot these things fairly easily. Amazing presentation and image quality.
Web swing mechanics are not as automatic as I thought it looked on videos. BUT! Still you hit R2, he fires somewhere which makes sense (left, right, up, sideways) and then you control the swing and you let go when you want. But I do think for fun and easiness of play this is the best controls they could come up with. Can't imagine another version.

Thx for answer me. I like the tech part of the game, so I must say I curious, maybe the 'top motion blur' they used in Ratchet and Clank. My last spider man game was the gamecube version.

This is great. I always turn off CA if I can even if it's a very small effect in the game. I just can't stand what it does to the image.

Motion blur is 50/50. Most of the time I'd turn it off but I can see it being beneficial in a game like this where you're moving fast.

does anyone have a link for all the revealed outfits?
The suits we've got so far are...

Classic (Damaged): No suit power

Classic (Repaired): Web Blossom

Noir: Sound of Silence (Disables enemies ability to call in back-up)

Spider Armor Mk.ll: Bullet deflection (includes sniper bullets)

OG Scarlet Spider: Holographic decoys with voice clips

Secret Wars: EMP that stuns and disables weapons

2099: Unconfirmed

Homecoming: Unconfirmed

Homemade (MCU): Unconfirmed

Spider-Punk: AOE guitar attack

Velocity: Unconfirmed

Iron Spider (MCU): Most likely Iron Spider waldoes

Advanced: Unconfirmed

I'll try and whip up a collage of how the suits look so people unfamiliar with them can get a better idea of how they'll look.

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna want to turn these things off. I want to do tons of tricks, but this is just distracting.

I agree. They can be very distracting for me too. I remember some alpha gameplay of Days Gone people complain and now they removed the damage placar.

I'm surprised at how excited I'm getting from hearing how busy the game seems to be. There are various activities scattered and side content throughout the world, all happening on top of your choice to progress in the story. It can get annoying to have that happen in open world games, but that is perfectly Spider-Man. That is the struggle he goes through every day and I love that they've captured it so well. It really sounds like Insomniac absolutely nailed the character. Gosh! It is just incredible that Spidey is finally going to get the game he deserves.
Yeah, I totally agree. I was just listening to Jones describing it too in the EZA preview. Sounds perfect for Spider-Man, it's one of his most prominent and important struggles like you said.

For shame, I've been forgotten:

Here's my lengthy preview of Spider-Man's early hours: Peter and his supporting cast, combat, skill trees, costumes, and the city itself.

It's quite good.

And here's a news article on just the costumes. Yeah, folks; OG Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider is in there and unlockable early on. I ended up unlocking it and using it for the rest of my demo.
Sweet I can ditch the default costume and stay with the classic till I u lock the homecoming suit.

Not sure if known, but is the flipping in between swings random or can you press something to do that? Either way it looks GORGEOUS

I assume it's probably player input related considering you get xp for swinging.

It looks great, but they should just have it all on autopilot. Mashing a button is so unnecessary, I rather just watch then be "involved"

That's fair, to be honest. It's a personal preference thing.

Wait what?
I was hoping they'd give us an option to disable HUD completely, like all of it. Reduced HUD is nice but I'd really like a no HUD option as well, just a clean image without the map, web swing indicators, health bar etc.

I thought they were..? Last I heard, about a month ago they were working on it. jstevenson can you update us?

Facial animation looks fantastic in cutscenes, can someone make gifs?

Gimme links, and I will make it so. :)

They give you so little exp so yea an option to turn it off it definitely needed. Hard to fully relax and spend the day swinging about when there's a popup every second if you do too many tricks.
