I was actually thinking about this last night. One of the ways I would possibly open the game (if I was directing) is just have you wake up in a free fall after getting briefly knocked out in a fight with say...The Vulture or someone. Then you have prompts letting you know what to press to swing, etc and off you go!

I saw the beginning. You're of swinging pretty quick so don't worry.

I really hope the photo mode is somehow tied to the photographer side of Peter. Like maybe a shutter sound when you take a screenshot, or he makes general comments or something about it. I'm sure Insomniac thought of it too though so there's a good chance for something like that I'd think.
Square Enix should share their work of Prompto's photography AI with other developers.

Is Peter even a photographer in this?

I was told by a retailer that the Spider-Man PS4Pro will be the rarist one yet. Hoping I can still grab one.

Also, Spidey being able to swim is beautiful stuff man.

there's no downgrade.

A downgrade implies we reduced the capabilities or qualities of the game, none of that is true.

The position of the sun has changed during development, which has changed the lighting in some scenes we showed previously.

The puddle was moved for #reasons.

Some people are trying to say his suit texture is gone too - but I've pulled it up and it's still there, it's just bad video compression combined with the motion blur at that moment (being compared to a slowdown moment in the original trailer).

We've shown what, an hour of footage in the last 2 months (maybe a bit less) and the game still looks as spectacular as it did when we showed it (it actually looks better, really) - so I don't get that downgrade talk.

You said that the game has fixed TOD and weather for direction purpooses and drama for the game but after you finish the game you can control TOD and weather like you want for more sandbox gameplay, something like Final Fantasy XV PLATINUM tech demo that allows you to control them to test and check the game engine capabilities. Can we do the same stuff for that particular scene after we finish the game: mimic the same TOD, sun position, weather effects, like having rain before that scene which will induce having more puddles (something like Horizon where rain causes puddles to form and then sun dries them out like in the gif I posted)?

That's a story scene, so no. It's only for free roam stuff.

I thought you could control the whole stuff after you finish the game. Not sure where they said story scenes won't. You can't be during the night while free roaming while raining (the one you chose) and then you decide to kick that scene and suddenly it becomes the scripted scene during day time and sunny (something like Mafia 3 cutscenes). Which would be very awkward. They made scenes tied to certain conditions to be more dramatic during the first play through for that reason, It would be not logical to keep things that way during second/NG+ play through. Hell that is why it is called New Game + in many games, like for exmaple GOW where you start with all your powers and weapons in story scenes too.

Cause you'd have finished the story by then, so you can't possibly see that scene anymore. Any side activity or free roam scene that plays will be affected, but story missions and the like are over with so those can't be affected.

I actually can't believe that this game is coming out so soon.
Thanks to Sony, Marvel and Insomniac for making this possible!
AAA Spidey game. So good hot damn.
