Once you unlock the trip wire, shoot it at an enemy if they're standing next to someone. It's amazing.

I'll be honest, as one of the bigger inFamous fans on the forum...you're not remembering inFamous right. It had the exact same problem - you'd be on a roll zipping around the environment and then time a jump wrong or use your thrusters too early and smack into a wall or stick to the wrong handhold and everything just ends up fucked. At least in this game Peter's a LOT better at recovering from mistakes like that compared to Cole or Delsin.
As someone that was literally playing second son waiting for this to unlock to play yesterday this is spot on. The recovery for Cole and Delsin is terrible compared to spidey

Some quick questions.

How do I web enemies onto the wall for that bonus objective?


Also what am I suppose to do on the car minigame? I hit o when they shoot me, but I still seem to get hit?

Impact web gadget for clinging enemies to walls. There was a tutorial for it. Gotta select the gadget with the radial wheel in combat.

As for the car, it's weird but you don't hit circle when the sense is tingling. Just dodge around the car with the left stick and punch when next to gunmen in the windows.

lets discuss them calling them "thug crimes" with a straight face

honestly lets talk about how completely boring the side quests are

I feel like the game would be better without them. They're just as bad as the side quests from Spiderman 2 on the Xbox/PS2 back in 2004... I keep expecting to run into a kid screaming about their run away balloon.

No excuse for a release of this magnitude to crash as often as it does. None. Was this mentioned in any of the reviews?

This game is fucking amazing and looks incredible! It's so sharp and the colors so good. And the swinging it's the best. Insomniac really did an amazing job!

So, I have a 60" 4K tv and a PS4 pro. Am I in for a visual feast with Spider-Man?

Yes! I got the Spiderman bundle for the Pro and I recently got a 65" 4k HDR tv and this looks incredible.

This is game is amazing. So much fun to swing around NY. The combat is tactical and well done as well.

This remind me when i was playing Spider-Man 2 with my best friend. Good times.

Something is wrong mine hasn't crashed once.


Also I found something I didn't know about and I think it's a little hidden Easter egg extra "spend more time searching the city" side quest thing
anyone else found many of the 100 hidden secret photo ops yet, at least I think it was 100x, might have been 80 or 90. Edit: actually it's only 50

Spider-Man may be strong but he's not invincible and a punch from a tough guy can take him down, even if they don't have super powers.


Speaking on this version of Spider-Man and not the comics or MCU version. You're wrong and wrong on the other versions of Peter too but let's leave the other versions out of this for now.

I don't know if you know or not but this game has a prequel novel that takes place a few months before this game starts.

Spoilers for that book, kind of big spoilers too concerning at least one of the characters and some things that goes down in the book. The events I'm going to cover takes place late in the book too. So don't read if you maybe interested in reading the novel.


Spider-Man fights Blood Spider in the book. Blood Spider is on equal grounds with Spider-Man. In the book Blood Spider basically OHKO the Kingpin while holding back a lot of his strength as to not kill him for his own reasons. In the fight with Peter Blood Spider unleashes everything he has on Peter doing his best to kill him. It's a legit fight where Peter is taking a hell of a beating from someone who has his level of strength if not slightly stronger.

Well, borrowed a friend's copy and rolled through the game with a bit of aside time to mess around with the usual side-fluff and the collectables. Overall, it's probably just slightly behind Arkham Asylum as my favourite superhero game. The much more "human" approach to the story, focusing more on Parker's relationships with his close friends, family and colleagues is great and the slower build-up is a lovely contrast to that of the Batman games with their "rapid fire rogues gallery" approach of just throwing absolutely everything and everyone at you in quick succession. Movement feels great, especially using L3 to descend straight down and gain more momentum and speed on the upswing and using X to gain forward momentum and further bursts of speed on approaches to buildings really stacks up, satisfying without being too overcomplicated. Looking forward to a potential sequel, especially with all the nuggets of info the post-credits scenes hint at! Fucking great ending, one of the better ones I've witnessed in a game to date.

85%, easily.

They have a lot of cool features in there like big subtitles etc. But HUD wise we get nothing (unless I'm missing it somewhere). I've said this a dozen times but gimme that GOW touchpad activated HUD. I liked navigating the city after the first mission by my familiarity with the skyline.

The only HUD option is the ability to disable the XP popups when you do web swinging tricks.

Agree though, I love that Horizon/God of War HUD.

The crashing has been mentioned in this thread a couple times. Every time its happened with my its when i went into the menu directly after finishing a fight. Dont know if thats just a coincidence but something is going wrong somewhere.

I LOVE swinging around the city. I really enjoy the combat and the story sequences are top notch.

The filler content is terrible, like I can't get into it at all. At least the filler content in AC: Origins looked visually interesting and unique (Although still tedious). I feel like I've picked up 25 backpacks from the same roofs and buildings each time. At least the sound blurb with each item is pretty cool.

I'm getting this glitch (?) where I get to crimes and the optional objectives are already marked as complete. I don't think I get any credit for doing them either even if I do them again.

Most of the side content is legitimately terrible, with the only thing making them worth doing is the incentive for unlocks, and the great mechanics make thrm berable to do. Some of the side stufd reminds me of Infamous 1, in terms of how inconsequential some of them are.

Everything else is really excellent though. They really nailed the traversal, the combat opens up really nicely, the performances are really great, and it's a really visually stunning game.

I could be wrong but I think they are shared between Crimes. Like once you "Slider under 3 enemies" in one crime you have it finished in all of them.

Ran into an NCP playing a guitar on a rooftop, you can hear him play upclose, that's a neat detail.

Also who was the one lucky enough to get his pic on the star?

I'm literally in that screenshot... the photo
above Peter's left shoulder, bearded with glasses and a black and red Nebraska shirt.

More fun is that there are photos of my girlfriend on vacation that are "MJ vacation photos" and our dog Shiva is MJ's family dog as you can see a photo of her too you can catch at a certain moment

Once you're unlocked all of the combat upgrades and gadgets, the combat systems depth rivals the likes of DMC and Bayonetta. The amount of tricky moves you can do is insane.

In my defense, the photos are blurry :P

So I have a Pro downstairs and a base PS4 in my bedroom. Figured I'd take care of the backpacks and landmarks before bed (which I just finished).

Anyway I just want to commend Insomniac for the job they've done getting it to run pretty much exactly the damn same. And the game still looks fantastic either way.
Job well done.

Usually I can feel the difference. I can only see it with this game, and it is not like what I am seeing is drastic either. Of course Pro looks better, but base still looks damn good too.

I had one crash so far after going to the menu after completing some of the puzzles in the lab.

Otherwise it's playing perfectly for me aside from my Pro's fans ramping up in cutscenes and indoor segments, otherwise my Pro is silent during outdoor gameplay. I have a quiet Pro that a lot of people here don't believe exists and Spider-Man is the only game where I ever heard my Pro's fans get kinda loud. Even during God of War my Pro was quiet.
