I never said it will be bad. I know what insomniac can do.
I don't want want them to have the same issues as the first game. If they fix their AI, it will be 90+ game.

A lot of UbiSoft games are great actually
Maybe you should play some?

Well it doesn't have to be a 90+ game to be good. Just look at starfield for example.

But the AI part is huge criticism of the previous game. It's something we want them to fix it.

Maybe but I'm still expecting the game to be good. I don't doubt that.

It hurts me that Insomniac is working on more super hero shit instead of making new ips

It's going to deliver for most people what they'd expect in a Spider-Man 2 game.

Super hero games are great when they are not open world.
I said it. It's divisive opinion, but it's truth.
The story of these super heroes makes the game, not the big open world space.
Open world just makes the stake less important, since you are getting easily distracted by the world around you.
I felt more connected with Spiderman, when I had time for those cinematic moments. Because it felt like i was watching a super hero movie. Especially the six sinesters teaming up against Spiderman.

I mean it’s like the 30th Spider-Man game.
Why concern yourself with popularity contests on YouTube. The game is gonna sell 10 million minimum on the name and developer alone.

However one feels about hype or lack of it, gamers just need to be sensible and keep expectations in check. For any game.
What are we even doing....
Thank you.

I'm excited for it, probably the game I'm 3rd most looking forward to this year (behind Hogwarts and Cities Skylines 2).
The premise of this thread is really weird. "Spider-Man 2 is clearly a game people are aware of due to the number of views its trailers get, with the Story trailer being the least popular but still rivaling the views TOTK's trailers got at their peak, and also the previous games sold bucketloads and were a massive success, and I think there's a good chance this will be one of the most successful games of the year financially speaking - but nobody is excited for it".
You don't get those views or sales without "hype", excitement, or interest - especially when Sony/Insomniac is just now starting to ramp up marketing. GAF might not be excited or interested in it, but clearly the general gaming community is.
I'm of the mindset though that I don't mind sequels not being all that different from previous games - all I'm asking for from Spider-Man 2 is to give me a new story with a few new abilities but overall maintain the gameplay of the first 2, and with improved graphics and that looks to be exactly what I'm getting. I don't want sequels to be a ship of Theseus situation where so much changed that they feel like entirely different games (which is how I feel about SS/BOTW/TOTK compared to pre-SS 3D Zeldas and GoW 2018/Ragnarok compared to the original games' formula; they have the same characters but don't feel like the same series to me). I want more of the same, I don't need the boat to be rocked.
That's all I'm asking for!

Cool then you shouldn't have long until Spider-Man 2 comes out.

It’s 4th most popular video on PS YT channel. How much hype do you need? You don’t need to spam the ads yet because this game is a known quantity based on a evergreen IP. The PR cycle will start closer to the release. It’s not like you need to explain people what Spider-man by Insomniac is.

The game should be awesome and a must have on PS5, but we know what it is going to be. I don’t see the need for endless hype, it all gets boring and tiresome as we just saw.

Lol this shit again. Puddlegate all over again, can't wait for this to ramp up closer to release.

Probably because it's a known quantity, nobody expects it to stray too far from the first game.

They expected more from the visuals. The Matrix demo made everyone delusional. They always trick us with these tech demos.

The best selling Super Hero game in history is a niche audience?

It's going to be a great spider man game. Nothing more, nothing less.
I don't think here is a point in getting hyped for something that's a known quantity like that. Buy it, enjoy it, complete it move on. Its not going to be a game that resonates or lasts in my mind at least but I'll have a great time playing it. Just like the first and miles.

Should the fanbase quit their job and advertise the game like people did with Starfield? Sometimes overhyping is a bad thing.

Do you want me to make a new thread for every image the insomniac account posts like it was for Starfield? I can do that.
You say no Hype but the Venom image they posted 3 days ago has 32.8K likes on X/twitter....just an image.....thats fkn hype.
But yes, im hyped, we haven't had a "mindlessly fun" game in a long time that wasn't a strategy game (BG3), a stressful game (AC6), or a space RPG that takes me an 10 min to walk to an interest point (Starfield)

Spider-Man 1 & Miles Morales were a ton of fun! I pre-ordered SM2 as soon as I could. Now just waiting for the release date.
I wasn’t looking forward to BG3 or Starfield, so then next big game for me is SM2. I’m mad hype!

Its de ja vue when ppl were claiming the exact same thing about Rift Apart vs the PS4 game.
Just shows that Insomniac are really good devs.
