Didn't realize it until now but I guess for this costume Insomniac decided against putting their own spin on it.



I mean, they did make it more 'realistic' with that tactical stuff and the arm padding Peter has, it's just that it's still all black so the general look is the same as the original.

I'm glad tbh, the original suit they made for the first game with the giant white streaks looks pretty terrible.

Yeah, it's rare to get any comic book costume adapted off the page and not have a mix of materials and fabrics with more seams and details. Hell, it happens in the comics as well. So this costume isn't surprising in that respect.

They did the same thing to most suits in the first game. One that stands out is the classic suit. I think the only extra detail it's given is a subtle separation between neck and mask. But other than that it sure does seem very basic when compared side-to-side with Insomniac's "Advanced" take on it.

I expect it's enough that Miles is a recent character that hasn't already been revised and iterated on countless times, plus it's distinct from his ITSV outfits, which most people know him for.

If you really liked the game you should like the DLC I think. It has its flaws but i think the price now is low enough to justify it

Man, I am trying to do this one challenge (self-imposed) and it is kicking my rear end. Or, I'm letting my rear end kicked usually. Stubborn bad habits and prioritizing trying to do the cool thing rather than the smart thing is predictably putting me in tough spots. But even when I am doing well, sniper fire on Ultimate can be so drat quick to fire, especially if you pop out from behind cover and they're waiting for you.

Amazing, Spectacular, and Ultimate are in order of difficulty and also in chronological order. Superior being even tougher would fit with that.

4k performance mode!? the gently caress is the regular mode then? gives hope for those 1080p 60fps modes tho.

I'm not sure which I'm going to pick. I guess maybe it depends on the sharing options/capability of the PS5 because i envy people who can upload in 1080p now with the PS4 so if I can upload at 4K but lose FPS then I think I would do that if I'm going to be recording. But for regular playing I'd probably go with 60fps since my TV doesn't do 4K so there'd be no point.

Anyway, did another one of my Last Stand homage videos. Taking on Ultimate-level Olympus with no crowd control gadgets other than Web Bomb gets tough and with a reduced moveset it's tricky making my way to get priority enemies. For Waves 5 and 6 I need to near-constantly interrupt everything with dodges because there are so many dudes with rifles and sniper rifles. I had a much older video where I took on an Olympus base with only basic webshooters but it was only on Spectacular difficulty and I could do anything I wanted other than use the rest of my gadgets.

If I had to guess, the “performance mode” will probably stay at 4K but will turn off the ray tracing.

Spider-Man going from 30 to 60 fps on a PS5 is some reallllllly awesome poo poo, tells a lot about how powerful it'll be. drat I hope a lot of the old PS4 exclusives get the same treatment. Ghost of Tsushima, GOW, Bloodborne at loving 60fps.

The Reddit thread seems to lean heavily towards this being 4K AND 60fps but without ray tracing. As opposed to 4K 30fps with ray tracing.

Yeah, I think I'm going to do the same. It seems like the PS5 will actually be considerably stronger than my PC (the whole console will probably cost less than a PC GPU with remotely similar performance).

Mostly for loading times. I've heard Ghost of Tsushima is actually good on that front but for something like Hitman 2 which is all about retrying and loading the level I might put it off.

A couple days ago while waiting for Ghost of Tsushima to finish downloading and after my Old Spider-Man video with all the move and gadget limitations I placed on myself for it I just wanted to cut loose a bit with no themes or special restrictions (except the usual no damage, no combo breaks).
Although I did add in a little race around the level challenge at the beginning :)

Confirmation that Peter will be around in the game and help out Miles. Also, not unsurprising that Miles has his own new animations but good to hear anyway.

Edit: contains somewhat of a spoiler for the Avengers game though so beware (I say somewhat since it's essentially the beginning/premise of the game?)

Yeah. PS4 preorders get three weekends, PS4 non-preorders and Xbox and PC preorders get two weekends and Xbox and PC non-preorders only get one, I think? It's all very silly and modern.

The thin red web against the blueish-hued black doesn't look very good to me.

Are they actually gonna give him some kind of lightning punch? Sounds like it could be cool. It'd be interesting if they really differentiated his playstyle.

It'll be interesting to see how they handle limiting those powers. Will they be weak and unlimited with stronger versions in other ways? Will they have cooldowns? Ammo or ammo-equivalent charges? Limited to Finishers only? Built into combos? A new kind of special attack?

Looks like they replaced a lot of Peter's gadgets with Miles using his electrical powers. He uses them to do the equivalent of the anti-gravity grenade and the web bomb at different points during the gameplay.

Lobok
Jul 13, 2006

Say Watt?

Yeah, and while it's hard to tell what's going on in the first gameplay segment the second one is a bit more clear because at first it looks like you have unlimited usage so maybe that's only for demo or story reasons. In the second segment you can see the electricity attacks deplete the electricity bar. So you basically have two versions of Focus now, ammo, and a Camo bar. A lot to keep track of! But if all gadgets are replaced with powers that simplifies things.

Miles is a PS4/PS5 game, PS5 has an Ultimate Edition that has a remaster of Spider-Man PS4 included plus 3 new suits.

It transfers over to PS5 but only PS5 gets Ultimate Edition while PS4 gets just base.

Man I was really hoping after how good gameplay wise Spider-man was for PS4 that they'd have worked on presentation and story a bit more. Having Miles be against Roxxon is a given since canonically they're a super evil organization lead by a guy that's essentially the Minotaur of Greek Myth. But having him also be against something that for all intents and purposes looks like purple ANTIFA lead by the Tinkerer, is pretty lame. Who are looking to steal from said evil corp. We're gonna get some lame rear end middle of the road message aren't we?

Especially after having a super cop friendly Spider-Narc in the previous game.

The TASM2 suit is great but it is just another version of the classic costume. Don't care about the other two. Wanna see what the remastered version of the first game is going to be like.

As far as gameplay goes for the sequel it's interesting that Focus has been simplified and the new Focus is the electricity meter. They didn't show any gadgets and the previous game's Suspension Matrix is shown as having been replaced by an electricity move so maybe no gadgets, just special moves..

Miles’ dad Jeff was a cop, so you’re not going to get away from that too much. That said, having Rio become AOC is a nice touch.
