Game will be good. I do think the section they decided to show wasn't the best, but it's whatever.

 

[aries_71]

Wow, I was expecting more, color me unimpressed, I think this game could come out on a PS4 Pro.

 

[KyoZz]

Do we know if it has dynamic TOD this time?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Looks a lot better in 4K. You can definitely tell there’s a subtle leap

Looks really crisp and clear.

I’m absolutely fine with what we’re seeing and exactly what I expected

 

[BennyBlanco]

i really liked spiderman 2018 and i'll definitely play this at some point but i was more hyped before this trailer. it doesn't look that great. i hope they give spiderman a rest after this and do something else, but the IP is so big they will probably just keep iterating on this same formula in the same engine.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

“Doesn’t look that great”

But “has better graphics than 99% of anything released, only topped by maybe Horizon”

Y’all hyped yourself up way too much

 

[Shifty1897]

Really impressive trailer. I got the same tinglies as when I saw the E3 2015 Uncharted 4 trailer.
Anybody remember how good that was?

 

[Balducci30]

It looks good in the 4k to me. Definitely not some insane next gen showcase tho - wish they had shown Wolverine I bet that’ll have great graphics

 

[Labolas]

Also not a big fan of how the black suit looks. It's too alien. I liked how it looked like a slick spandex suit in the comics. Sometimes simple is better. And I think Parker is going to become Venom in this and there's no Eddie Brock, which fucking sucks.

 

[ChiefDada]

His first sentence I won't even dignify with a response. With the second statement about additional work and wizardry, why not provide gameplay trailer that includes these great things?

God I wish they had the balls to post here. I would be telling them what they need to hear.

 

[ChiefDada]

Another gem...

 

[Deerock71]

Spiderman can now swim through solid objects to the top using his uber-innovative Spider-Swim maneuver.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Some of you being hyperbolic as fuck like usual. Game will be great.

You really going to start with that BS damage control? You guys never change

 

[FoxMcChief]

@staticshock
Maybe I should have been more clear about what I meant.
If you watched it in 4k, you'll see parts of Spider-man Venom suit moving.

The areas around the neck, arm and legs.

As for the face, they went with smooth leather like look which doesn't show as much detail as the other suits.

Other than that, only issue I saw was the sea water had not much interaction with the characters.

Don't know what's your problem.

Yup, definitely looks like the ballsack armors in Witcher tv show and Witcher 3 update.

 

[CGNoire]

These guys are so lame.
Ask these guys what next-gen is supposed to look like, they can't answer you.

We are at the point of diminishing returns.

Some games look better than real life.

The left image looks nothing like the right. How small is your cellphone screen?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Really impressive trailer. I got the same tinglies as when I saw the E3 2015 Uncharted 4 trailer.
Anybody remember how good that was?

That’s the first thing I thought of

Spider-Man is upping the ante on big set piece moments. Looked like uncharted on steroids

Guess jaded gamers can’t get excited about even that anymore

The Uncharted trailer and demos blew this the fuck away for the time period it released in.

Unfortunately, Gaf doesn't have the sway that Resetera has

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

a lot of dumb takes about the looks of the game....is going to.look fucking awesome. (next-gen awesome) the issue is the design of the video game (so far).

 

[hyperbertha]

OK Alt-Man.

You need to fucking learn to read the room. When the significant majority are saying this looks like miles dlc, maybe you are the problem. Most underwhelming 'next gen' showing ever. Im starting to think it's coming to PS4.

lets wait until the Digital Fundry analysis. for the "graphics talk"

 

[Yoboman]

People are saying this didn't look good?

I know the showcase was a shit show but Spiderman 2 looked insane

 

[indigoSociety]

No? It's basically the same graphics of Remastered with the addition of 2 mobile game button prompts to pollute and an atrocious UI.

Not even going to mention the obivous unpolished state of the set piece.

 

[FoxMcChief]

That’s the first thing I thought of

Or we don’t want Uncharted on steroids in the next Spider-Man. We’ve had enough Uncharted for a good while.

 

[Icymanipulator]

This is what happens when everyone DEMANDS 60fps modes. They have to target the asset quality and world around that. The 30fps mode is just the same with a higher res and a slightly better quality

This is why the matrix demo looks so good. It TARGETS 30FPS. you can literally push twice the assets

I would NEVER make this trade. Games look fine today, would rather have smooth gameplay than a slideshow that looks nice. These are *games* afterall, we play them. 60 fps will always be superior to 30fps.

 

[indigoSociety]

It isn’t and I agree with that poster. I hope the final game looks better but this was a negligible looking improvement visually over the first game and Miles Morales.

I have no doubts there is some cool tech hidden in it, but that video was not some huge leap by any fucking stretch.

"slideshow"

Makes total sense, you don’t want big action set piece moments in a superhero game and Uncharted is so played out it hasn’t had a game since 2017

 

[CGNoire]

Yep it looks like almost its entire development cycle was spent aiming for PS4 too.

 

[CGNoire]

Thats where the deal downplaying and gaslighting will begin. There a joke now.

 

[Icymanipulator]

"slideshow"

Ya, after playing most everything recently in 60, going back to 30 literally hurts my eyes. It’s an abomination.

Seriously? You are excited about a qte setpiece event? Go watch an Avengers movie ffs. Why are you playing games?

 

[killatopak]

Everyone seems to be generally excited for this game except for gaf. Some of you are so bitter.

This sounds like
“You can’t enjoy things that I don’t enjoy”
To me

People are different dude, and want/enjoy different things. I know this may be a shock to you, but the world is a big place and people have different tastes.

 

[FoxMcChief]

When these action set pieces are you only pushing up or down on the stick, yeah, that shit is played out as fuck. And it seems like most Sony games rely on that mechanic.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Well, we are on Gaf. So, what’s your point?

 

[Fake]

Some of you guys can't take a different opinion and start to cry.

I quite sure the game will be great as usual, but is not looking next gen to me so far.

Is not the same impact when I saw the first Spider-Man on PS4... same as GoW.

Is not the end of the world.

What would you rather see at a showcase?

A random snippet of Spider-Man on a side mission beating up generic thugs in an alley?

Come on bro think of what you are saying

 

[Gamerguy84]

Just got off work and Holy f%#" SM2 looks amazing.

Did they show Wolverine?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Seriously? You are excited about a qte setpiece event? Go watch an Avengers movie ffs. Why are you playing games?

Cutscenes and production values matter in games. They get people excited and engaged

I already know Spider-Man has great action gameplay

There’s nothing wrong with also enjoying a bombastic set piece even though there’s limited interaction

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Gameplay looks to have shifted to new God of War style instead of Batman Arkham style. Looks like abilities with cooldown. Also camera is much closer now

Did anyone else notice that?

 

[killatopak]

Well, we are on Gaf. So, what’s your point?

 

[ChiefDada]

Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the more mature direction this game is aiming for. They really nailed it in the trailer. Psycho Peter Parker really had me shaking in my boots. They promised us it was going to be dark and they're delivering beyond my expectations here. It's just that 3 years into the generation without much next gen content and near zero communication from Sony first party, I'm very surprised that this is all they gave us. Insomniac has had a reputation as a top rate studio and I think this is the first disappointing presentation I've ever seen from them.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Looked very heavy on canned scenes, dialogue, and QTEs, very light on actually engaging gameplay. Not sure if day one for me anymore.

The SM2 segment was too long. I was happy with just seeing the opening area in the neighborhood. Then it went full on rails chase segment. I don’t know what they should show, but not what they did for as long as they did.

 

[hyperbertha]

Who else thinks kraven looks under designed? He looks like a side character from an aa game. Kinda generic looking.

I remember GAF crying about the first gameplay showcase for Spiderman 1, saying it must be a linear game, then puddlegate, then Nicheman.

Safe to say GAF can be ignored when it comes to Spiderman

 

[ZiggyPop1991]

Shit-Man 2 with its dumb A.I. They will always show you a tough enemy at the beginning and then when it is time to face them, these tough boss turn into pussies.
Enemies watching their comrade being dissintegrated by a lil fuck they wait.
DA FACK WAS DAT SHOW?

People that enjoyed this show I firmly believe y'all are trolling at this point, lmao.

Touch grass. Seriously.

 

[Nico_D]

Like I said in the showcase thread, I hate hiw the black suit is done in Spiderman games. All the tentacles and shit - there was nothing of that in Amazing back in the day, just a symbiote with its own will. Even in Wwb of Shadows, which is one of the best games in the series, the black suit was the worst part.

Gameplay wise this left me really underwhelmed too. By the looks of it, looks they decided to go bigger, not deeper. Not buying on day one.
