Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PS5 reportedly includes a PS5 remaster of PS4's Marvel's Spider-Man from 2018. At the moment of publishing, this hasn't been confirmed by either Insomniac Games or Sony Interactive Entertainment, but it is claimed in the latest issue of Game Informer. In other words, the information isn't official, but it does come from a reliable source.

 

[Blond]

Didn't they show off a PS5 build in private? I wouldn't doubt this rumor at all.

 

[Elcid]

F-U-C-K Y-E-S. I can definitely replay Spider-Man especially with my C9 which I didn't have at the time.

 

[Entroyp]

That means it will be full price then... hmmm not sure I like this.

 

[SlimySnake]

What kind of remaster? just a 4k 60 fps patch? Or improved visuals like ray tracing for puddles and buildings?

 

[Nikana]

If they are going to make me buy this at $60 to get MM, I'm out.

Edit: This also means that the original word on this game being an expansion to the OG game and is included was indeed true.

 

[VertigoOA]

Seems like a half assed stand-alone dlc like Infamous first light or whatever it’s called. Lame.

So it’s a remaster...

Making a remaster of a PS4 game that most PS4 owners have played, finished, and maybe even Platinumed isn't the best marquee launch title for a new expensive system.

The big question is what is the difference between the PS4 version running on PS5, and the "PS5 remaster" running on PS5. Because I was under the impression that the PS4 version would get some auto-upgrades.

What are we talking about $60? Was anybody expecting Miles Morales NOT to be a full priced release? I don't follow. This doesn't mean a PS5 remaster sold separately would be $60, or even that they'd release it standalone at all necessarily.

It'll probably be sold as Miles Morales for $60 but have the PS4 game and all past DLC included.

Yeah... sounds like they are trying to add more "value" to the package by not having a $39.99 PS5 game be the "premier" launch title for the system.

Man this new generation is starting off on such a weird note.

*edit: I only say this because Insomniac themselves have already said Miles is akin to Lost Legacy or Last Light. Lost Legacy released at $39.99, and Last Light was either $29.99 or $19.99.

If Insomniac tried to charge $59.99 just for Miles they might get a lot of heat. $60 may be well worth it, but they have already compared the game to "budget" priced titles, so they kinda have to launch at a budget price.

Bungie got a lot of flack for launching Halo 3: ODST at $59.99 back in the day... so they released it with the Halo 3 multiplayer to try and appease the consumer.

 

[Psykodad]

Pretty pointless, but if it's just priced €40, I guess it's like an added PS5 patch for the original.

 

[eastwood333]

Sounds like a 5 hr expansion packed in with the first game. Miles Morales clearly isn't a full game.

 

[bender]

Hopefully a discount for those who already own Spider Man/DLC.

It's better than Halo Infinite.

It never was. It's like Infamous: First Light.
That has been known all this time.

 

[Andodalf]

A new game that looks cross gen is a worse showing than an expansion for a last gen game? Mkay

 

[bender]

Please only respond in Spider Man related GIFs.

110m+ PS4s have sold.
Spider-Man 13.2m copies have sold

According to math that's 8.3% which is quite the opposite of your statement. Also, MOST people don't platinum games in general and that's irrelevant regardless.

 

[Flintty]

Good news for me if I do end up getting a PS5. Spiderman is the only game that almost tempted me to get a PS4. Im not overly fussed about Miles Morales though.

Ah, I totally missed it if they had said MM was more like UC:LL than a full standalone new game, leading to the idea that it would be cheaper.

Miles Morales is being made for PS5. Maybe it will use some PS4 assets, with some new ones too but it's built to run only on PS5. Not like Halo Infinite which was built for the ground up for Series X but can still run on an Xbox One somehow.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Cool for those who did not play which are not that many but the OG has 0 replay value and I doubt the Miles Morales version will be significantly different.

 

[eastwood333]

It's better than Halo Infinite.

Are you talking graphics or gameplay? Where is the gameplay for Miles Morales? Graphics for Halo Infinite is a fair complaint, but the gameplay looks top notch.

 

[Gamerguy84]

Ill buy it, I live remasters. Who did the remaster? If insomniac all I can say is damn those guys have been busy.

 

[Mister Wolf]

That's pretty cool. Insomniac one of the best developers.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Hopefully I can just buy the miles part and get the upgrade patch for my current copy of Spiderman

Graphics. how can I talk about gameplay when I haven't played any of them

 

[Thicc Enigma]

No need to even question this, it'll look better than PS4 Spider-Man. Also, PS4 Spider-Man looks better than the infinite gameplay lol I'd argue a lot of current gen games look better than infinite.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

As someone who didn't play the original, I'm ok with this.

 

[Psykodad]

Hopefully I can just buy the miles part and get the upgrade patch for my current copy of Spiderman

Isn't it basically the same?

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Sounds like a 5 hr expansion packed in with the first game. Miles Morales clearly isn't a full game.

Insomniac mentioned Uncharted Lost Legacy as a reference and that's a 7-8h game.

 

[GHG]

In the same boat.

I'll try it out when I get a PS5 (demon's souls release date).

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Wouldn't it be something if you could already play the existing version of the game you own on your PS5?

Suck on that rumor mill.

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

If true, I hope this doesn't mean Miles Morales is a short game. This is good for those who missed out when Spider-Man released on the PS4 though.

5-8hrs depends on player give or take. What ever, it's clearly not going to be anywhere near the scope of the first game. So it shouldn't be anymore than 30 bucks imo.

But when you focus on the group likely to buy a PS5 at or near launch what he said becomes much closer to the truth in all likelihood.

 

[Mokus]

Nice, I had a lot of fun with the first game. I hope this time, the DLCs are on the disk.

 

[Thicc Enigma]

That's a different matter all together. That can be said for any product.

 

[turtlepowa]

It's better than Halo Infinite.

We definatley need a Godwin's law for Halo.

 

[Punished Miku]

Seems like a half assed stand-alone dlc like Infamous first light or whatever it’s called. Lame.

So it’s a remaster...

If you didnt know it was on PS5, the trailer looks exactly like something we played last year.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Lost Legacy opened at 40$ and with the remastered pack in this will be 70$.

 

[eastwood333]

Thats a fucking rip off unless you've managed to miss out on playing the original.

 

[prag16]

That's a different matter all together. That can be said for any product.

His point was that it likely isn't a huge draw for launch because almost everyone likely to be at/near launch has probably played it. I think that's a valid take.

 

[Hobbygaming]

There's the standalone game and the remastered PS4 game

 

[Mister Wolf]

If they make you buy Spiderman again just to charge $60 for this then they've really fucked you over. Banana in the tailpipe.

 

[Hobbygaming]

I'm down with this, Spider-man PS4 was my personal 2018 GOTY

 

[TGO]

I'm intrigued what a Remaster would look like compared to the PS4 version running on PS5
Almost guaranteed it'll be a PS5 Enhanced title
So a Remaster would be.....

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Thats a fucking rip off unless you've managed to miss out on playing the original.

They might go with 2 versions a standalone and with the pack in. It's early tho and we know so little.
