What is the difference between Uncharted Nate Drake games and Lost Legacy, anyway? Uncharted games are linear so when it comes to differences in "scope" is that just length? Is LL just a shorter game but otherwise the same thing? Edit: Other stuff from the post. quote:a war between an energy corporation and a high-tech criminal army has broken out. Miles’s new home in Harlem is at the heart of the battle Nice. A more developed Harlem section of the city and hopefully also they included the part of Manhattan north of Harlem that didn't exist in the game? Energy corporation I would guess is either Roxxon or Alchemax. Lobok fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Jun 18, 2020 |

Lost Legacy is shorter and mainly takes place in a couple locations in-universe as opposed to Drake going all around the world. It's generally the same thing, just the stakes are a bit lower.

Yeah, the big difference between Lost Legacy and the mainline games is length (9 chapters vs 22ish), and LL takes place pretty much entirely in one setting while the others tend to hop around. Also, update: Thanks to this thread's relentless bullying I finally watched Into the Spiderverse last night. I thought it was good, though I wouldn't say I loved it. Not sure if it would crack my Top 3 Spider-Man Movies of All Time list, though it would be close. I can imagine if I saw it when I was younger I probably would have liked it a lot more. I did like Miles a lot in it, though, so that increased my excitement for the new game (though I was already pretty hyped for it).

If Uncharted 4 is an entire tabletop campaign, Lost Legacy is a one-shot session that you do in a single sitting.

If Miles is now living in Harlem I'm guessing that means they won't be adding other boroughs of the city. Wouldn't make a ton of sense for the game to be shorter in length but have a significantly bigger map. They would also probably tout a bigger map as a major selling point and they haven't.

Miles living in Harlem so they don’t have to make Brooklyn seems particularly lazy.

Eh, Peter has historically lived in Queens, but they typically manage to find a way to keep all of his family interaction on Manhattan in these games. Ignoring the other boroughs is basically tradition at this point.

Unless they just include a sliver of it or something, Brooklyn is not some minor addition. Manhattan is by far the smallest of the NYC boroughs and we didn't even get the full Manhattan in the first game.

I don't really know if this is even worth spoiling by now but on reflection it's seems very odd that everyone suggests Miles take a job at a place founded by the man who effectively killed his father, and a good few other people right in front of him, as a form of therapy.

Spoilering too just to be on the safe side: Nobody knew Li was in charge of the Demons when they suggested he volunteer at FEAST, right? At least, I seem to remember that not being found out until after Miles came onto the scene. And regardless, while Martin Li might have been a monster, that doesn't mean FEAST had to suffer. Everything in the game points to the organization being an entirely legitimate charity, and unless Li was secretly shaking down the homeless people staying their for the 32 cents they had to their names, it's not like Miles working there benefited Li in any way.

By the time Miles takes his walk to his first day there Li is a wanted man and Sable guards are hassling people for any signs of him. It's hardly a deal breaker for the story or anything but it just seems a bit of an hmmm moment. Edit: Ha, there still pictures of Martin up in the cafeteria too.

Originally I think he got them from that lady Pete clone but once he got edited into the main universe I think Peter just gave him a set. He mostly gets his web fluid from his bud Ganke since chemistry apparently isn't one of Miles strong suits. ^^^ Or it was Aunt May!

Not only was it Aunt May who gave it to him in Ultimate Marvel, Peter came back from the dead to stop Goblin who also came back from the dead (because the experiment that created both of them made them immortal or something and they were both just chilling out while they healed??) and he showed up and kicked Miles' rear end for "stealing" his web shooters. Then he realized that oh hey, this guy is actually pretty awesome so he gave them back, told Miles that he's the new Spider-Man, took MJ and just drove off into the sunset forever. Oh and they both stopped Goblin, if I remember correctly.

I think a nice setup from the DLC could be Peter and MJ do take that vacation they mention, which can give them a reason to be out of the city.

It was dumb because while there was probably always going to be some- Miles meets Pete and gets his blessing moment they’d already done it a few months ago with the main continuity Pete.

Pretty much the entire point of it was "the Ultimate universe is ending and I'd rather give Ultimate Peter some kind of positive sendoff before everything goes down." The ended up showing the Ultimate Universe is out there still just no longer being published so it was a backhand way to give some form of Peter Parker a happy ending.

My biggest wish for MM is an overhaul (or hell, even outright removal) of the random crimes system. They are way too repetitive and not even fun at a baseline level, let alone when you've done the same crime five or six times. They need to add a lot more variety to the crimes or make them much rarer, because getting crime tokens (or, God forbid, getting the Platinum trophy) in Spider-Man PS4 was really boring.

Swinging around a completely empty New York is not actually much more fun, a problem previous Spider-Man games had. You can stop crimes if you want to but don't have to which is a better overall mix. "They should remove this because the Achievement isn't fun to get" is absolutely not something that should be a factor because tons of achievements for fun mechanics are lovely because more achievements are badly designed in general.

You also need to collect crime tokens for gadgets, suit upgrades, and costumes, so if you don't stop crimes you're hamstringing yourself. And I think even stopping just a handful of crimes is already too much because of how boring and samey they are. They definitely need to do something with them because as it stands they're just not good. I just used the Platinum trophy as an ultimate endpoint because the amount of crimes you have to stop to get it (and the underwear spidey skin) is obscene. Crimes become unbearable long before that, in my opinion. JordanKai fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jun 20, 2020 |

Spider-Man is the only platinum trophy I have ever gotten and I enjoyed it the whole time, street crimes included. I too wouldn't mind having more variety, but I certainly didn't get bored of the game.

I think there's a happy medium to find because a lot of people found getting 100% in a district or getting the plat tedious because if you don't spend a bunch of spare time over the course of the first two acts getting them all then at the end of the game it means you're just swinging around in circles waiting and hoping for the remaining crimes you need to pop up and repeating that for each incomplete district. I was fine everything before the end of the game just cuz I wanted to be maxed out. As for the crimes themselves half of them I skip. Kidnappings and traffic accidents are just boring after a few of them. The pure combat ones I can keep doing and while I usually skip crimes that start with car chases it's not too bad if a drug deal ends up turning into one.

Imo it should have random crimes where it's got just 1 to 2 people doing a mugging so you can casually web them to walls while swinging by for maximum Spidey-ness.

I actually dig the late game combat hellhole where every intersection has a gang of baddies squatting on it and the rooftops are making GBS threads rockets and sniper fire, but I think most people got pretty fatigued by that. If the Miles game is shorter I wonder if they'll ramp up up the cities aggression faster, start at a higher level or just not get as bad as all that.

I liked it as well and considered at one point clearing out the entire city. The only thing is that the snipers time their fire to be as tricky as possible. You have to be ready to abandon any attack or movement right at the moment where it's so tempting to let it finish and dodge right afterwards. A fellow Spidey YouTube guy made challenged me to fight during sniper fire in one of the Sable bases and it gave me a good feel for when they try to get you during certain attacks. Web Yanks and Swing Kicks are especially dangerous and you have to be careful of the angle when doing Dodge Unders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxRpM-BU5mg

I've always found it dumb the way superhero games set in NYC feel the need to ramp up all the open world tedium to MAX LEVEL as an artificial (and usually nonsensical) way of upping the ante. There has to be a better way to do it to keep things engaging.

Figured out how to do a fun yo-yo juggling move with Concussive Blast. If you've ever been a fan of Mortal Kombat, it's basically Scorpion's klassic "Get over here!" + uppercut kombo. Full video here. Wasn't planning on such a high combo but it's the highest one I've ever had by far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV6B8z3VkJ4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GieQoj6UUBU Video here about what the Miles Morales game should include. I agree with it 100%. I especially concur that the game will work well if Peter is totally absent in Symkaria or wherever (just not dead, due to the connection fans built with him in the PS4 game and that killing Peter off has already been done in other media)- give Miles a chance to shine on his own as a great character. My previous exposure to this game did not make it clear that was what they're doing. This video did make it clear. I am glad and I support the idea. Just had to get that off my chest. Peace. Out.
