Am I the only one that refuses to play any of the story segments in an alt costume? I do this in other games too (i.e Champion's Tunic in BotW and Elite Knight set in Dark Souls). Just feels weird doing the story stuff in a non-canon outfit.
I'll definitely be switching back into the advanced suit whenever I do story stuff, I totally get what you mean. I'll definitely play the game again though so I can see what the various suits look like in the cutscenes.

Hey cool Spider-Man does the interrupted conversations thing Uncharted 4/LL does. Glad it's catching on.

While this is probably true. I think the biggest reason they only have 3 time presets is that they can make those as best looking as possible , without day and night cycle variables requiring more resources. AC unity is also great example of that and Infamous SS. To my money i rather have day and night cycle at the expense of better and more consistent visuals, it brings a lot more to the actual world imo
It's not probably true, it is true. They said so themselves. Both reasons are correct. And by the third act it's very obvious why.

For us we thought that, well I mean the truth is, this is a very story heavy game and as you guys know a lot of great games use time of day whether to communicate a certain feel vibe to the situation where you are in the story so we want to make sure that we were communicating a certain feeling to the player while they were first making their way through the main story. That being said when you do finish the game you can actually change time of day and weather yourself manually.

no - we don't want days to pass. If your mission is "meet Aunt May for dinner" - a day night cycle would ruin the story aspect. There's a lot of time sensitive stuff Pete is trying to balance between juggling Spider-Man, his personal life, and his career.

Plus the controlled variable there is part of the reason our game looks as good as it does, we have the lighting dialed in.

Lol complete opposite. I'll roam in the regular and homecoming suit than right before a mission starts I'll put on ol iron spider baby!

Urgh some of these challenges are rough. 10 finishers...

Guess I can come back later with better stuff.


I don't get how gadgets recharge? Seems random in combat.

GTA V is the first game I can think of which did it.

But yeah, GTA V, Uncharted 4, Far Cry 5 and Spider-Man all do it really well. Crazy how a little feature can add so much to a game.

Oh yeah GTAV did it too, I dunno how I forgot. I believe God of War does it too when you dock while a story is being told.

It's a great little feature yeah, I hope it catches on more.

The timing required on some of these Bomb Run challenges is just nuts. I feel like I'm booking it through the city, and still only get one token.

This game is dope. Combat is a bit trickier than Arkham. I've even died a few times. When there's more that one brute around, it could get pretty sweaty. Still in like act I of the game.

Been doing most of my side shit when it's sunset out cause dayum, game is very pretty during that time of day.

Why did they change
the mr negative reveal ?! It was much cooler at E3 ! They didn't even do anything special for the actual reveal at the bombing . I sense some fuckery during game development for this part. Also what was with the weird Peter death fakeout ? He seemed dead and he just shows up at the burial like nothing happened. My wife was shocked and appalled at this.

Yeah I don't like them either, haven't encountered a single fun one so far. The Black Cat stuff is also very repetitive, just Where's Waldo x12. Definitely starting to get the complaints about the side content. The side missions are the only ones that feel a bit diverse.

Main story however is a lot better. I did the mission with the cop a while ago and that was a great mix of detective work and action, best segment of the game so far.

You mean Spider-Cop? But I thought he'd retired!

I always get weird about wearing alternate costumes during the story as a i feel like it's not part the actual part of the story. The costume they give you is what it's "supposed" to be. I need to get over this mindset.

I was having so much fun doing all the side content as it unlocked, then I got to the challenges and they are just so frustrating. I'm just going to leave them but I really wish they didn't have score challenges in this game, it really doesn't need them.

Mostly really love the game but these combat challenge hideouts are more irritating than anything else. Wish they found a way to make these challenges more interesting than hordes of enemies just spamming you with gunshots from off screen. It's more frustrating than anything else

It's a pretty good workout though, not gonna lie.


No he did not. Dan consulted with us during the early days of the project.

Jon Paquette was the lead writer and Christos Gage was the Marvel writer we worked with daily
Huh. My bad then. They've definitely done a great job.

I'd you're having trouble with challenges but want the platinum, reminder to just do as many as you can with 1-2 token score, DON'T SPEND THEM YET, once you finish, make a backup save, use them to unlock all suits for one trophy, reload the backup save and use them to unlock all gadget upgrades for the other trophy.

Oh shit. If you haven't tried it yet, wall-dash up a building along a line of fire escapes. See what happens.

I went through this with the batman games, But by Arkham Knight I was like "If I want to wear the Batman 1989 costume for the whole game, I'm gonna do it". Same goes for Spider-Man and his costumes.

Also if I'm not wrong, it's only in one or two scenes, but (almost?) every suit has a damaged appearance. They overlay scuffs and dirt on them.

Combat system is absolutely beautiful. Encourages you to mix up your attacks against hordes of enemies.

I'll be honest, I've been rocking that suit since it unlocked and never looked back. I love it, personally!

That's cool I've been rocking Homecoming for a while now myself. I think it's probably my bias showing, the symbiote suit and Miles suit are the two best black costumes ever so competition is fierce. I'm only level 19 I think so there's quite a few more to unlock and I never bothered looking to see what you can so hopefully there's something else I'll take to.

that suit was so goofy looking I almost thought it was a troll for the people who wanted the black suit in the game lol

Hah luckily it only takes like 10 minutes to unlock so I wasn't that disappointed.

I was wearing that suit until I started messing around in photo mode because I didn't want to have suit spoilers or whatever.

What are you talking about? There was no death fakeout

And what do you mean fuckery during game dev? It's clear they had Negative in the E3 demo so the audience could be introduced to him but that's not how he was introduced in the actual story

How do I change time of day after I beat the game? I kind of glanced over what it said assuming I'd be able to find it in settings but I can find anything.
