DLC Inc posted:Not gonna look at the potential spoiler blocks but it's definitely curious how much is being held back i.e. who the leader of the villains is, who the person who shows up at the end of the E3 demo is, and why the special edition statue for this game hasn't been revealed because it contains a "spoiler." Part of me wants to say it involves Venom/the black suit. The confirmed no symbiotes or Venom and I REALLY hope they stick to that. I'm so tired of Venom to the point where the new movie just being a whole new story is nicer than "Welp, he's evil Spider-Man!" Ugh. Also, apparently, the statue is hidden in the box too. Brian Intihar said that whatever Spider-Man is crouching on is a spoiler in and of itself and will be hidden when you take it out of the box. They want people to play the game and, when they think they figure out who (or what) the spoiler is, to open the statue. Definitely going to do a media blackout next week except maybe this thread since goons seem pretty good at spoiler text.

That is weird. Just gonna be completely out of nowhere like the second half of the game is in the Savage Land or 2099 or some poo poo.

I actually missed the first time around in Homecoming how the first Shocker has the classic costume design on his jacket arms because I kept expecting Woodbine to be Shocker from the trailers so I didn't pay the other guy much attention.

PantsBandit posted:I'm gonna be that guy and say that I am disappointed the swinging doesn't look as true to physics as Spiderman 2. It wouldn't bother me except for they're so close with the webs actually sticking to buildings and angles determining your swing, but then I see Spiderman come out of a deep dive into a slow parabola and cringe a little. That's probably what would happen considering he has stretchy webs though.

Could be Miles in costume and then he's standing on the grave of Peter Parker? That'd fit it being a two part reveal of the statue, the Spiderman part is revealed/made clear early in the game (like, Miles has been active for awhile but just hasn't been seen properly and everyone thinks he's just regular Spiderman) and then the base is obviously a much bigger spoiler that then gets revealed later on. This is speculation just to be clear, not read any of the spoilers or anything.

thebardyspoon posted:Mr Negative could have been one of the ones broken out at that point in the game if you put him away relatively early though and then Green Goblin could be showing up as the mastermind of the breakout. I think it is probably Doc Ock but the framing of the shot at the end of the E3 trailer does kinda make it look like someone flying in and hovering there. I mean, Mr. Negative shows up in a helicopter to that, it really feels like he didn't just break out. Also I can't check at the moment but is it possible the helicopter went and picked up whoever it was at the end so it could really be anyone?

DLC Inc posted:This would be the most hilariously grim thing Haha I phrased it badly, I mean more like, standing to the side of it and looking mournful or something. I'm just really curious what it is to be honest, your idea of it being a Superior Spider-man thing could be on the money but I feel like that's more of a second or third game thing though really, it works as a spin on something you've done before y'know? A lot of it worked as a subversion of what Peter had been doing in comics for ages, at least initially, then it all came crashing down.

Have they talked about collectables? I actually enjoy them up to a point. Having a few things to collect and completeing getting you a bonus is a nice time waster in open world games, but some cases its just stupid when they jam a ton of collectables in and they're loving brutal to completed. loving Riddler Trophies.

Only thing I know of is the backpacks around the city. You can get upgrades to your weapons and costumes from them. I like to think that poor Aunt May bought him a shitload of backpacks and he just casually put them all around the city. Even better if they're all the same drat backpack. Like he just REALLY liked the specific blue North Face one so that's all she bought him. Ever. Like once a week. He was probably a little poo poo as a kid.

Maybe the twist is that the whole "I was keeping them at bay" thing was a ruse, and Kingpin has orchestrated the whole thing right down to throwing the intro fight so that the others take down Spidey, and thus Fisk gets to keep his hands clean while simultaneously making a behind-the-scenes (bars?) deal with another Marvel villain? grieving for Gandalf posted:one-third through the game you follow Venom and Carnage on a space shuttle to another planet Your joke leads me to contemplate that an adaptation of Ends of the Earth might turn out pretty well. It'd be a brand new setting for a Spider-Man video game that's never been done before; I'd certainly rather see them take a crack at that than Superior.

Carnage could be cool for one level if they lean real hard into slasher horror. Arkham asylum with alien: isolation splashed in. Unfortunately this is not spider-man.

Can't wait to sling some web next Friday... and once I'm done jacking off, I'll probably play this video game. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I'll be here all week.

I put this down finally for physical pickup next week. I hope nobody at Gamestop yanks the statue out early lol. It's crazy how there are legit mysteries I'm curious about in a Spider-Man game. Last time I had such a lockdown on info was with God of War since there were certainly big surprises in that.

I preordered the standard edition from Amazon back when they still had the 20% off. Is there any difference between the standard and digital deluxe other than the DLC? Did they announce if said digital deluxe DLC is exclusive to that version and won't be available for download if we buy the standard, or is it a season pass sort of thing that we can purchase separately?

Digital Deluxe gets a pin and the DLC pack. The DLC itself is not exclusive to anything (it's also in the Collector's Edition). You can actually buy it right now on PSN as a bundle for $25 or buy them separately on their respective release dates for $10 each (October 23, November 2018, December 2018). The Collector's gets the statue, a sticker, steelbook case, mini art book (which I REALLY hope it's got the same content as the full-size art book...just smaller) and the DLC pack. The only way to get the DLC without paying $25-$30 is to preorder the Digital Deluxe or the Collector's Edition.

Yeah, it's literally just some lighting, shadows, the puddles, and a few background details (like the floor marks and pallet). If that's all they have to change to keep the framerate on a vanilla, who cares? (I predict a launch window YouTube trend of vanilla vs. Pro comparison videos that'll die out within the week.)
