Sounds like heavy story driven DLC, going to have to get the deluxe for this

I don't know why I was shocked that Spiderman got skill points. Of course he got skill points. Makes sense.

3 post launch story chapters. Perfect reason to wait for a heavily discounted GOTY edition. It's not like I can keep up with releases anyway.

I'm not sure we've said. I'm being careful about what I say given the story-stuff contained underneath Spider-Man that we are hiding.

It's a substantial statue though :)

Thanks! Might have to backtrack on just getting the special edition =/

Looking forward to further details and thanks again for your reply =)

Nice collectors edition...........too bad GAME will be the ones to secure it in the UK.

Welp, they already did. exclusive to the store.

For lovers
I really don't have room for all these dumb statues though.

As I mentioned above, this is my real issue. Obviously, paying extra sucks, but (no disrespect to jstevenson and Insomniac here) statues really aren't feasible to display for most adults. I can get away with steelbooks and artbooks.

Pre-Ordered the Collectors Edition once I was able to, looks sweet. I am disappointed in the new trend where Europe will get a special edition that looks pretty dang sweet, but we don't get one in the US. Same thing happened with God of War and that's the reason I am going with the standard edition for that one.
Shrine is a superb album.

Also, on topic, I don't think I can convince myself to preorder the fancy edition. Since I switched to Best Buy GCU over Amazon Prime, I don't impulse preorder things because of Best Buy's rolling charge.

A simple gradient background in 2018?

Said it in the other thread but boxart is too plain. Throw a city in the background or stylize it more.
Best of both worlds...

oh please

Hahaha jstevenson you know gueras is buying this game early regardless of length.
Once he sees all those 9s and 10s in the review he will be a day 0 buyer like most if not all of the people in this thread.
Dont even bother entertaining his "not pay full price" comment.

And Sold!
Sold Sold Sold.
A simple gradient would have been too simple.
Simply having the city superimposed in the background is enough for me to be all over this!

That box art is almost too plain. Would of been nice with the city landscape in the background. Would of still be simple, right now its almost too plain.

And talking of DLC stories already, the game isnt set to be out for another 5 months. I know it's a norm now, but I still can't get over developers revealing DLC months before the game releases, it almost feels like they're holding it back for DLC while it can still make it into the game. I know that's not the case most of the time, but I cant shake that feeling when its announced so early like this.
Well games have to have their features and content locked in at some point. This could be either fresh content they're cooking up, or content that didn't make it into the game that's being reworked. There's a difference between this and what EA used to do with the actual extra content already on the disk, and the user paying to download an unlock that was a few kilobytes.

Theories on the statue. It's probably not a building - I doubt they'd cover up a building for spoiler purposes, unless it's like Oscorp or something. That being said it's probably some recognizable enemy they haven't revealed yet but probably will at E3 through a trailer or gameplay.

I'm gonna hazard a guess that it's one of Alistair Smythe's Spider Slayers. Smythe as a villain would fit well into an open world Spider-Man game as the Spider Slayers could be roaming the city for Spidey to dispatch. I think that would make for a neat statue design too.

EDIT: Yeah on a closer look it definitely looks like he's fighting someone or something below him. It's probably a villain not revealed yet. Kraven's another good possibility as he could be hunting you constantly.

Are you going to be able to purchase that story DLC separately or you need the Digital Deluxe version to play it?

The Spider-Man license doesn't mean that much to me, I'm more excited that Insomniac is back with a big budget game on Playstation.

Yes it is, my favorite of the year.

And do you mean how they charge you then credit you back until release?

I'll get the collector's edition day one, but man does this just look exactly like a third Beenox Amazing Spider-Man right down to the animation work.

I always said more time in the cooker could have made those GOAT Spidey games, but its weird how hyped everyone is for this after being so luke warm on those.

In my experience, it appears as a charge, goes away, and comes back occasionally leading up to launch.

I don't like that coming and going of the charge. I miss not being charges until something ships. My only qualm with Best Buy.

I pre-ordered the collector's edition from GAME UK. Never use those guys due to their awful delivery service, just had to support my most anticipated 2018 game.

The goal of the box art was to be bold and show off the game's Spider-Man and suit. We'll have lots of other art (like the Alex Ross cover).

Also the statue is so cool - but it's a spoilery so we can't reveal it just yet :) It's also from Gentle Giant and super rad.
The box art is fine, I think it looks fantastic. Not ugly as sin or horrible like some say.

I got 3 statues from CEs. Dark Souls 2 and 3 and Horizon. Can't wait to add Spidey.

$150 for that?! Waaaaaaaaay overpriced if you ask me. If you can get GCU it makes it a little better, but even then not worth it

I went ahead and jumped in on the collector's edtion though. The DLC being part of that package was the push.

Loved Sunset Overdrive (X enhancements please), and if this plays anything like it, I'm all in.

But Game UK man... :-(

Definitely concerned this will be the Mass Effect 3 disaster all over again if they go under in the meantime.
