How do you like your puddles?

  • The entire game should take place inside a huge puddle

  • As big as Insomniac's artists want them to be

  • As deep as my knowledge of game development

  • I prefer oceans tbh

  • Don't go chasing Waterfalls

Its funny that these same people probably spend there days in youtube comments lamenting how games nowadays have no 'heart' and are all about the graphics

Then complain about a fucking puddle

Lol entire pieces of render tech have been removed from the game

Is it a big deal? Of course not

But pretending it hasn't happened is insane

Has the game been updated from New York to Jewtopia? That's the real question. Puddlegate is old. Mapdatagate is new.

It's a downgrade especially the reflections on Spider Man and his suit, however it still looks good. But people should call out devs who downgrade the games, because most people will see the best looking screenshots and think it represents the game.

Good morning everyone....(see this thread)......O_o
I think this game is so good that the only complaint is the different size of the puddle.

"Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. The Great Puddle is in town tonight. Go and see. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am The Puddle."

On the bright side, if all there is to complain about is theoretical downgrades and whether or not they are theoretical, then the game is pretty much perfect to me.

This thread having 43 pages is insane. Who gives a hoot, game still looks amazing, especially when you take in the scope of everything.

If we're just comparing the picture in the OP then yes it looks a bit less detailed but that could be due to lighting and a variety of things going on. I'm still gonna enjoy the heck out of this game.

There's no enemies in those ocean and every mid/far distance models are using their lowest LOD when he's in the water.
Even if this was considered some kind of reasonable explanation to my point, how do you explain the big puddles that exist in other outdoor areas of the map aside from the scene in question, where there was no reflections occurring in the puddle water in the first place? More enemies doesn't suddenly mean you can't render pools of shallow water on the ground. That's cause they can and they have.

I love that "sunset" warm glow that was shown in the original trailer from E3 2016. I know that time of day it's still in the game, but I find it interesting that God of War also went from warmer colors to cooler colors in certain scenes:

Is it though? I feel like the inital reveal was too shiny like the rest of the stuff released around that time.

I'm hoping they turn it down so it looks like a darker blue/black

But if they make the suit less shiny it will be called a downgrade and we can't be having that.

Rise up like the sun that was moved.

I'd lose all respect for insomniac, if they did that. They'd never give in to such stupidity. We all knew something like this was gonna happen, I just didn't know what it would be about. And here it is, Floodgate.
Damn. So they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. I love the look of the large puddle so I hope they add it back, if they can

Ironically enough this game has too many puddles. This could have been avoided if they werent obsessed with it always raining

I prefer the look of a studio that takes confident ownership of their creative decisions.

How did that puddle even get there in the first place? Isn't this an indoor area?

User Warned: Platform-wars rhetoric.
This is pure fanboy bullshit. I guarantee this is 97% people pissed off the game isn't coming to their platform of choice. The hype is real.

EDIT: I stand by my statement, but to clarify I was referring to the Reddit post specifically
