Controlled Enthusiasm!!! Should be more glowing to be honest! But I guess that's what this week is for. I can't wait for the launch!

I'm looking forward to seeing the comparison between the PS5 and PS4 versions of this. It'll be interesting to see how different the versions are from each other visually.

It's a silly complaint but being the same city is going to kill a lot of my interest in the open world.

It's a masterfully crafted city though, and most of it wasn't really used for anything substantial in the original. They're also gonna be adding a lot of detail and changing stuff around, especially in the Harlem area this game is focused on. And of course a lot of brand new interiors etc. It's also in winter/holiday time, which is gonna change the feel quite a bit.

I get where you're coming from, but personally I'm not worried. I loved swinging around that city in the original, and wanted to spend MORE time in it, but had nothing left to do (I fully completed the game twice back to back). Now I get to do that, and I'm excited.

The mall scene looks amazing and id love to see how they will downgrade it does the ps4 version.

Because if that is how the game will look like on ps4 but with ssr instead of rear tracing then we have a new contender for the best looking game this gen. Sorry rdr2.

That mall scene is fucking nuts looking and this is a cross gen game...

Starting to wonder if this is a 720p game on base PS4 or something, or if there’s just that many differences between the two versions. It doesn’t look as next-gen as Souls, but it looks noticeably good/impressive.

Never underestimate what something as small as a seasonal difference can do. Plus, I don’t really view the open world as being that memorable in Spider-Man game. Outside of a few buildings and notable areas, it’s all kind of backdrop to swing through at 100 MPH, and I’m sure we’ll have all sorts of new major locations, like Harlem.

What time is it?

I sucked the marrow from that world in Spider Man though. Like I said, it's a silly complaint. Further distance from the original release/DLC would also help.

I'll probably cave because of the pre-order costumes.
 
I've been trying to talk myself out of getting Miles Morales but my resolve is weakening.
I ended up cancelling my pre-order of the standalone game and going with the Ultimate Launch Edition version. I never got around to playing the DLCs on the last game so I figured it would be worth paying the extra $20. Plus, the games look so damn good on PS5.

Just watched the video. Looks sleek as fuck! I am def pre-ordering this when my ps-5 ships! SO excited!!

Hopefully next we get some Demon's Souls gameplay next!
I think they are gonna do a state of play for the launch games at the end of this month?? I mean we still don't have any destruction of all-stars footage, state of play can make one final push for launch games

900p on base. Dunno if this will follow.
 
I love their vids like this analyzing how the game works. Pointing out positives and shortcomings. And they seem to always do this for PS. The problem and calls of bias stem from recent Xbox vids not getting the same treatment. Sometimes even making excuses. Almost like they're reading a script. :pie_thinking:

Yeah, and Alex in particular seems to have become a figure of hate. Even his mere appearance in a video seems to trigger some.
Hmm, lesse, Alex has only:

-Engaged in spreading FUD about the PS5's raytracing capabilities
-Joined the XboxEra discord where they quite literally plan how to spin news related to the PS5
-Engaged in further FUD about the PS5's capabilities, even questioning developer statements
-Tried to explain away the abysmal Halo: Infinite showing, even trying to claim that a mere LIGHTING adjustment would fix it tremendously, only to then be made to look silly when 343i and Xbox themselves admitted it needed another 6 months to a year in the oven.

Can't imagine why people might have negative feelings about Alex, no sir.

(I'm not even pretending all that's important but c'mon, let's not pretend he's not given people reason to dislike or distrust him.)

And zooming in 800% in PS5 games to look for imperfections, while giving HI a gigantic pass at the same time.

I think it will still be 1080p on the base PS4 like the original except RT will obviously be missing and everything from textures / material / lighting quality will just be lowered in quality to hit their last gen performance targets.

900p man. IDK if this MM will be 900p as well, but the Spider-Man for PS4 runs at 900p.

Digital Foundry being positive about a Sony title goes against the SonyGAF narrative that DF are Microsoft shills.
So they need to nitpick something in the video to be angry at anyway, because simply giving Digital Foundry juice is not part of the SonyGAF manifesto.
Now, that's not fair or accurate. Let me help you understand the rules, there are only two...

1) When DF says something positive about PS5 then they are the very model of reason and objectivity.
2) If they say something less than glowing about the PS5 then they are 100% MS shills.

Looks impressive but you do realise that's an on rails QTE don't you?

This is why I don't like big AAA cinematic single player games. May as well just watch them on youtube with how much control and input you actually get in the games.
what difference does it make? its an open world game. what you are seeing is being rendered in realtime. the level will still be there after the setpiece ends. you can even control the rhino to avoid obstacles so its not even fully onrails.

there is a difference between linear games doing onrails sequences vs what we are seeing here.

I mean there's also plenty of non- "on-rails" sections that were pretty cool as well I think but that is a gif I had on hand. I also like my games being cinematic. so

The “you can play it on PS4” nonsense is running out. Between DF gushing and these last few videos...now, just Wait until more DeS gameplay comes out...
 
The production quality and image quality is off the charts insane. Respect well deserved for Sony/Insomniac. The game looks fun as well.

This looks fucking amazing. QTE's don't bother me much the game looks "fun" which is a huge thing for me in games.

Btw, had Bo_hazem created a meltdown thread yet about DF after this?

Insomniac is such an amazing asset for Sony to have. They've always been fairly exclusive to Sony, and acquiring them just made the most sense. They're proving their value at yet another console launch, with not 1 but 2 technical showpieces in the launch window. Gotta tip your cap to the team. Hopefully they're rewarded with a positive reception from critics and customers alike.

You most certainly missed the Genesis VS Snes war back in the days. It was speed vs color or midi vs fm synth. Essentially nothing has changed.

What? It was nowhere near as toxic. Not during the PS1, SS, N64 Fog days ... it´s at it worst in 2020.

Now we got to deal with "fake ass journalist" shilling non stop, on top of these "fake experts" adding clip A and clip B into a machine to analyze it. Add "Fake ass insiders", Influencer on top of all the extra crap from new forms of communications. ... all that did not exist back then.

It´s only going to get worse from here.

Looks great. Love the extremely detailed textures on the character. The improved draw distance is also big.
My plan to wait for a PS5 Pro starts to crumble.

No need, people already loved John :).

Battaglia on the other hand, really loved being in this video (clearly :LOL:).
