WOW! Visually on Pro this thing is fucking astonishing! The object density is staggering for an openworld game. Out of this world. An absolute technical marvel, pun intended.

How are they gonna stop it? Those YouTubers aren't under any NDA. The exact same thing happened with God of War.


Do all these YouTubers and companies currently doing streams just happened to get early copies from amazon? No, they have to agree to certain conditions to get review copies. Maybe including conditions that you don't use spoiler thumb nails should be part of it or lose review copies rights in the future.

This is so stupid. NBA2k19 and Spiderman are both releasing tomorrow but Bestbuy is only doing a midnight or rather a 9PM release for NBA2k. I guess Sony didnt allow the 9PM release. So silly.

Red Dead, Fallout 76 are also getting these 9PM releases while Blackops is the only game getting a midnight release.

Sony needs to get their shit together. No God of War midnight release. And now this. Come on. 9PM would have been perfect. Now i have to sit through an entire workday while school children get to play spiderman all day. Dont they know the average age of gamer is like 37? We are all manchildren with jobs and shit. let us buy the game at 9PM or even midnight while the kids are sleeping.

They allowed 10:30PM over here in Portugal.. Going there to pick it up as we speak..

There have been copies out in the wild for like a week+ now. It has not been hard to get your hands on a copy that isn't tied to a NDA for this release if you really wanted to. Joe Blow on reddit that had footage a week ago certainly wasn't under an embargo.

tracking is not always super accurate, you'd be surprised its probably already in your state by now
The UPS label only got made like 4 hours ago, so I believe UPS when they say it's not in their possession.
I kind of don't believe them when they say they can get it to me in ~25 hours when they don't have it yet, though, unless Best Buy has a warehouse in western New York
I'm assuming it's already in NYS, I doubt Best Buy wouldn't have a warehouse somewhere in the state

They're getting these copies from mom & pop stores that don't give a shit, not from early shipments from big retailers, nor are they review copies

Good for them? What does that have to do with what I said? I don't care about joe blow on reddit. I'm not on reddit. I've been watching a Resident Evil stream and when I went to watch something else on YouTube Resident Evil related I saw a spoiler thumb nail and this channelhas done this once before with God of War. If this channel got a copy from Sony/Insomniac maybe they should agree to not put spoilers in their freaking thumb nail.

Shit if I were living back in NY I would get every single game I wanted before launch day doesn't make it ok for me to spam the net with all the spoilers.

I had to repeat the tutorial boss battle like 10 times because I kept failing. My reflexes are so rusty lately.

I'm saying what you're complaining about isn't tied to any NDA or embargo. It's going to be the Wild West for spoilers on YouTube every time around a big game. Sony can't do anything about it and if they tried to it would be counterproductive and pointless.

We even had a post in another thread talking about how Sony has stopped giving out copies to 'influencers' because of how leaky they are and its clear the people you are complaining about are influencers and not media. It's out of Sony's hands.

It has everything to do with what you said. Do you have any proof that they have a review copy and not an early copy from a mom & pop store? The channel probably doesn't get review copies from Sony. This type of stuff probably is in the NDA, but you can't hold people to an NDA they've never signed.

Yeah, people are assholes, but the people who are getting review copies are not the ones causing this problem. I don't know what you want Sony to do about this.

The option to close the gap with surroding enemies is God send here which was absent if the enemies were far .batman would jump around but not from one side of the room to other side .this alone makes it so fucking fluid and satisfying
I think he did if your combo was high enough. I never had problems closing ground in those games or whiffing a hit but that happens pretty often here. Getting stuck on objects while web zip striking too. Using perch points and some throwables aren't very forgiving with your positioning. Things could change with a leveled up Spidey but as of now Batman had more consistent and reliable combat IMO.

In what way? Is Arkham better or just that this is too similar in your opinion?
Arkham is definitely not better .this is evolution of Batman .more fluid and more interactive since spider Man can use environmental elements from far away due to web.not when he is next to them .it's just more satisfying

My copy being shipped from a big retailer arrives today.
Yeah, you're going to be getting your copy 8 or 10 hours max before release, and that some times happens. You've missed my point. Big retailers don't ship copies out multiple days early. These copies YouTubers have had for days now aren't from a big retailer.

Fucked by my own cheapness :(
Didn't you just get a 500mill PRO ? So it's understandable you'd want to save a few quid.
That hype train stuff is really stupid.

The channel I'm speaking of isn't exactly small and I'm a total asshole. I would just put a strike on their channel effecting their lively hoods.

That's me and what I would do. Sony/Insomniac is free to do what they want.

I figured it was a review copy because of the channel size and I've seen reviewers with smaller channels get review copies. I mainly wanted to vent.

I live chatted with Amazon and they gave me the code to all my pre-order bonuses but couldn't give a code to the full game so I could pre-load it on my PS4.

Oh. Yeah. They try to make sure that doesn't happen. Every now and the it happens. Last time for me was one of the Kingdom Hearts collections. I think the fist one on PS4. Was supposed to hit on a Tuesday and I had it for almost a week early from the same retailer. Most times, I get games perfectly on time from them.

It's luck of the draw from a shipping algorithm.
