There's a difference of swaying an axe on the surface with barely any other life in it and an open world in which you do arkham style break dances with the ability to swing around in it that's full of cars and people. GoW was pretty slow in it's action as well with most fights in smaller closed off areas.
Yes, I'm sure they'll release a game that doesn't work that good, in what the 80% of the userbase consoles?

I honestly didn't think too much of this trailer. The last ones were alright but I feel combat is best exemplified by showing live, unedited game play.

Wonder which movie studio came up with those damn short teasers before most action trailers nowadays.

I'm not saying it won't work good but I'm just a bit wary it won't look as smooth as the trailers and gifs that are floating around.
I don't think this would really help much, but I've only got a vanilla PS4 too and I'm feeling confident about how smoothly the game will run. We can't compare God of War and other titles since none of them move as fast as Spider-Man, but... Everything just points to Insomniac really nailing this. I don't have a single doubt that this game will run greatly on the OG PS4.

So for those who didn't read (or watch?) about this from the recent-ish preview blowout, the Scarlet Spider's Suit Power allows it to create holograms (essentially clones) to distract enemies in a fight. The best part about it is that Peter will comment on them. One of the jokes he made as heard by one of the journalists who previewed the game was about clones. So, yeah. Insomniac's love for Spidey really shows through this whole game! <3

It's been the perfect match with an IP and a Developer.

Sunhi GIFs too OP. Nerf please.



Hnng. The transitions!

Insomniac are big cowards if this isnt in the game along with Spiderman's giant robot



Do it you cowards


The world isn't ready for Leopardon in this game. A suit power where he calls in a giant megazord would just objectively be the best power.

I hope they do it

Where's standing on a wall, pulling someone towards the wall, punching them and webbing them down to the surface you're standing on? See: Web of Shadows.

For what it's worth, unless something has changed since the tips and tricks video put out by Playstation Access, you can at the very least dodge into a wall and press square to rebound off of it and begin a combo. Not exactly what you're looking for, I know, but hey.

Bryan Intihar does say in Game Informer's 114 Rapid-Fire Questions About Spider-Man video that they're "locked at 30 both ways" on both base and pro, so hopefully that's a literal lock and not just an aim.

Im sorry but I really don't believe this game will be any good.

Insomniac will have to prove that the game doesn't suck by bumping the release date closer than September 7th cause I dont believe this game is good. They'll have to release it this week just to prove otherwise than drop trailers that all they do is drive hype really high.

Give me the game now please

I hope this runs fine on a base PS4. This game and RDR2 are tempting me to get a Pro otherwise.

honestly I don't understand the base console worry some people have. Sony first party games have all been great examples of games running great on base console and then its a modest up-res on Pro (for better or worse). the only exception I can think of is TLG

Yeah but this game is more open and dense than Horizon and God of War and Uncharted

Now that I think about it, Horizon, God of War, Uncharted and Spiderman are perhaps the best looking games ever lol. Granted I've never gamed on a PC

I suppose, I guess my point is there hasn't really been a huge precedent of any company presenting game footage on a Pro/X to try and hide a base version that is sub-par so I don't know why people are so paranoid or expect it to start now

Can you imagine Spider-Man 2 on PS5.

Can't wait for this. I wonder if Rocksteady will be able to do better with their next game.

Fair enough. But sometimes this game looks too good to be true and it leaves people skeptical. TLOU 2 has this problem

Apparently the main theme is this (it's a cleaned up version so beware of quality):



The part that starts at 0:34 is incredible.


Best orchestral Spider-Man theme yet? Confirmed.

the hoodie physics are tripping me out

It'll be so nice having a bunch of Spider-Man suits that actually feel fleshed out and polished. No offence to the developers of past Spider-Man games but a lot of the time, alternate suits had a very cheap look about them.

I feel like the camera is too cinematic though and it takes you out of the game. What if I want to finish someone but keep an eye on the guy behind me. Hard to do with the camera moving on it's own so much

That's only a thing when you initiate a takedown move. You can choose not to use those moves until there's only one enemy left or to just avoid them altogether.

I won't judge from just one comparison but this looks like a pretty huge difference.

The lighting definitely looks nicer in the gameplay reveal trailer. But... everything looks so fantastic in all of the recent footage we've seen. I can forgive a little touching up for a vertical slice of the game when the finished product looks so stunning.

Why is Scarlet SPider's thing holograms and not Impact webbing or stingers?

Who cares about a possible downgrade in visuals, it still looks fucking gorgeous. And the animations are blowing my mind.
