3 story packs and the price for the game + dlc on psn is $80, so the pass is only $20 unless there's some kind of discount added for getting it bundled.

I wouldn't expect too much out of these dlcs. It gives me the feeling that they'll be an hour each of story content with another hour or two of very small secondary tasks.

It's actually just €10 extra on the EU store to get the digitial deluxe with the DLC pass. I think some of the price on the US store is for the physical pin that is included in the US digital deluxe. There is of course a discount involved for getting it bundled, so the stand-alone price for the pass is still unknown.

I was going to pre-order the special edition in the UK but it seems I left it a bit too long. GAME and Smyths still had stock last week. Guess I'll settle for the standard unless some more appear.

I want the artbook more than anything in the special edition anyway.

I say yes, but I'm biased. We aren't just telling a superhuman story here, but a human story, and the character is right in our wheelhouse.

Well, I will get it, but just because of your amazing legacy with some truly wonderful games. You deserve all the support one gamer can give. Thanks for the feedback.

Quick question does Symbiote or related things not even mentioned in this game at all?

Like even alt costume ?

Spiderman has always been a favourite since the 90's animation. Feels great likely have an amazing Spidey game after so long and from a studio I highly respect. Match made in heaven but these summer days are certainly not making the wait any easier.

I sure hope switching suits will be quick and easy to do on the fly. While I initially disliked the Advanced Suit, it's really grown on me now and I imagine I'd like to switch between it and the other suits quite often.

I know how hard it is to make just one of these considering the amount of work that would go on a regular, which these aren't because they're so damn detailed and unique, skin but given Spider-Man's large number of alternate costumes, 25 isn't that big. I'm still happy about it, don't get me wrong, but I love Spider-Man more than any other character in the world so I'm getting a little greedy about it.
They will most definitely add more skins with dlc. I didnt even exepect more than a dozen of skin options. 25 is like a dream for me.

I remember in The Amazing Spider-Man game you had to return to Peter's apartment to change costume. Not sure if it's been mentioned in any other previews yet but not in the ones I've watched or read.

Metacritic doesnt always have a 1 to 1 correlation in sales. For a multiplayer online GAAS game for example it pretty much has zero merit.

But in regards to big single player games it certainly can. The difference between say an 84 meta game and an 88 Meta game is pretty much nothing. However the difference between an 89 Meta game and an 94-95 Meta game in regards to sales is huge.

If you can review into the mid 90s it will have a legit large impact on your final sales tally. That said it's an incredibly difficult thing to pull off
My argument is that you are putting too much focus on the scores and not just natural word of mouth. Obviously, critics play a role, but more so in the consensus the game is good as opposed to such a strange focus on numbers

Yeah, I'm aware they're adding new skins in the DLC. Says so in its description.

I think we do it through Spidey's phone... At least based on the Iron Spider reveal trailer. Hope it's as quick as that.

Everything sound amazing, as always. Already preordered the special edition, plus 2 more copies to gift to my little brother and cousin. Now I go into media blackout.

MHWilliams from US Gamer mentioned how long it takes to switch suits.

Once you've unlocked them, they're all in a menu screen. Select the one you want, pick a Suit Power, some mods, and go.

I'd rather more obscure costumes be put in the game over the Raised webbing, ugly eyed monstrosity of the raimi suit. Classic Suit is there for nostalgia lovers.

Future Foundation, Superior, Black Suit and one more of the Spider armors. That's all i want to make the perfect suit roster for me( Many of my other favorites are already confirmed)


And for the confirmed 2099 i like both, but prefer the white one.

Any word about difficulty levels?
Difficulty
From the outset of play, you are asked if you want to play the game on the Friendly, Amazing, or Spectacular difficulty level. Despite the somewhat intimidating name, Amazing is the default difficulty setting. Spectacular features stronger and more aggressive enemies. If you find one of these settings is a little too difficult or easy, you can switch it at any point during play.

Those gifs look amazing, gonna try and avoid more footage and previews at this point.

This is the kind of game where I didn't need to wait for previews or reviews. Already pre-purchased on PSN. Can't wait. I love Spider-Man and Insomniac. No doubt the game is going to be great.

His focus isn't in the review score numbers themselves but rather what they represent.

MC scores are after all an aggregate of reviews which provide a strong indication of consensus of opinion of a game.

Most gamers will not think twice about buying a 90+ scoring game in a genre they already like, and many who don't traditionally care for the genre in question may still take a punt on the game. Thus the high aggregate review scores justify the purchase for more games, thus engendering in effect a wider appeal.

That's not even mentioning the higher media coverage and word of mouth a 90+ aggregate review score will promote.

In marketing terms, MC scores are the gold standard.

IIRC In the Insomniac stream when they played the E3 demo they said there are more difficulty levels when you beat the game.

I hope it goes with a NG+ to play the game in NG+ with the hardest difficulty.

Alright I'm rewatching all 6 Spidey movies and some comics until this comes out.
The wait is killing me!

I would be surprised if there is no photo mode and no hud options. No other publisher used this feature so well this generation to promote games.
