The game still looks underwhelming graphically.

Things to add to make it a standout:

- Fix the damn textures on Venom. He looks like his textures are still loading in.
- Make Venom's suit moving at all times, like a living breathing organism. Like Vecna in Stranger Things 4. Notice his neck moving:

- Brighter specular highlights at night.
- More details in the characters models and clothing.
- More detailed foliage in the jungle scenes.
- Way more particle/slimey/gooey effects during gameplay while playing as Parker in the Venom suit thing.

You do know that CG in blockbuster films is completely unaffected by the constraints of running on local hardware in real-time like a video game, right?

More visual touch-ups will come but to say the game looks underwhelming visually is big-time cope. I'd say after HFW: Burning Shores this is shaping to be the best-looking game on the market once it releases. And more importantly than that, it just looks very fun and action-packed. Plus the story seems like it's on a solid track too.

Some of the nitpicking in gaming these days is getting rather annoying, especially for games that haven't even come out yet.

Go back and watch Miles Morales trailer. What's improved here? The hair maybe? If they are roughly the same visuals then he is correct and your post makes you look like you're lying to yourself.

Do you agree that Spiderman 2 on PS5 should be superior to cross gen MM? If so im not sure what you find so funny? I'm open to being proven wrong if someone can point out the obvious improvements over MM ...

We can't help it if you've gone blind...

I wonder if it’s boring to play as Peter without the symbiote. Also will you be able to switch to Peter with the symbiote post game to finish up side quests and stuff? Would kinda suck if you couldn’t.

“Symbiote Spider-Man is a dick” is just lifting that from Raimi. That’s not what it was like in the comics.

[ManaByte]

The comic version was hugely better than what Raimi did with meme Emo Peter. The symbiote was basically using Peter‘s sleeping body as a puppet and going out at night to fight crime and Peter couldn’t figure out why he was always so tired.

 

[Robb]

Symbiote Spider-Man still looks a bit goofy but Venom looks dope!

 

[Seyken]

Great, now they ruined MJ's look too... They made Peter look much younger and MJ much older.

Prefer the first MJ.

I mean, I was way more into Black Cat and Silver Sable anyways, but I don't know why they felt the need to change her looks. She was just fine in the first one. Unless for some reason they're no longer allowed to use the likeness of whoever may have been her model.

She looks great in the new version. I believe she's the same model as the original game.

I'm really anticipating the scenes of Venom talking to Spider-Man, Tony Todd put his all into this role

 

[Gamerguy84]

Wow Insomniac. This looks great and got me hyped out of nowhere.

 

[skit_data]

This is gonna be fire, I think this game is definitely going under the radar a bit and will end up blowing peoples minds. We've known about it for so long and we know Insomniac are crazy but I honestly feel they will surprise us by bringing it to the next level with this one and Wolverine.

And not to like... start a shit show or something because I know some might run with it given some peoples TLOU hateboners and the whole controversy around changing Peters face model but...
Are they slowly morphing Mary Jane into looking more like Bella Ramsey?

 

[tmlDan]

Great, now they ruined MJ's look too... They made Peter look much younger and MJ much older.

She looks way more human in the new look, the old look was awful - her hair was stiff and the style made no sense and her face barely moved like a human.

This scene alone looks a million times better.

[James Sawyer Ford]

That soundtrack sounds amazing too

Such a good trailer

 

[slade]

Day One for sure. Now that WB has begun to run their Arkham franchise into the ground, Insomniac is my only hope for a good superhero game. Hopefully Monolith's Wonder Woman game is good too and WB stays far away from it.

 

[Sholi]

Really excited for this game.
I know Insomniac said it would be a new take on Venom.
From the snippet in the trailer, it looks like the lizard will become venom after the encounter with black suited spiderman that was shown in the first gameplay trailer?
Seems a more natural fit for the teeth and tongue of the character to transfer across.

The comics aren't the Sony films, though. That's...that's kinda a big thing, here. Plus I'm sure the game is trying to find the best tone to strike between the comics and the films; being true to both while knowing the importance of the comics, but the fact the films are a lot more well-known to larger mainstream audiences by far.

Yeah, noticed that too and it does indeed make the transition into venom make a lot more sense. Getting that big, bulky and teethy part from the lizard.

Capitalizing on the popularity of the milf genre

I think you're on to something.

What will happen to Spiderman IP in videogames when Disney sells out to Apple?

Day 1!

 

[FeralEcho]

As a big fan of Spider-man PS4 and Miles on PS5 I'm just not impressed by this idk what it is.... I'm gonna buy it ofc but I'm just not hyped for it, there's something off about it,and the graphics while they are clearly top of the line have some weird feeling to them,its like the first game and Miles had a more pleasing look to them,more colourful.This feels..."bronzelike" for lack of a better word,it has an overuse of the colour yellow and brown during daytime which i despise.

Also at first i thought some bird took a shit on Miles's hair and he just didnt clean it but then i realized thats just a shitty ass "modern" haircut that these stupid kids have nowadays.And MJ apparently took the little mermaid hollywood hairstylist treatment and turned her red hair brown instead.

 

[rofif]

Why the hell are they changing around how characters look from game to game. I bender played spider man or miles morales(have them but it played yet) but the character in ps5 version of spider man looks fucking terrible.
Anyone still playing ps4 version on ps5 versus the remaster because of that?

As for this trailer. Looks very inconsistent. Very impressive in some scenes and worse than first game in others

 

[FeralEcho]

Great, now they ruined MJ's look too... They made Peter look much younger and MJ much older.

Sexy or beautiful women are a myth to americans so obviously all female characters made in dev studious of the US of fucking A will be either fat,ugly or with more wrinkles than a 70 year old woman to more accurately represent the modern day american woman.

 

[PeteBull]

Is that you Phil?

its last secret gig of major nelson, he supposedly left xbox but now works undercover, on neogaf =D

 

[FeralEcho]

She is now more human and ugly like the rest of us.....yaaay... Thats what i want from my entertainment,being reminded how shitty looking most humans are.

 

[Rockman33]

CAN NOT WAIT

 

[Heisenberg007]

I can't believe how thick some people have become. They did not change MJ's model. That's what happens when you make a next-gen sequel. The designs start looking different. Otherwise, if they look the same, what's the point of making a next-gen-only game?

Here are a few examples from TLOU.

People need to get over their compulsive need to nitpick on and criticize everything because they think it makes them look genius and edgy, while in reality it only makes them look stupid.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Ugly, my god, what kind of Girls some people here go out, cant even imagine.

 

[Cyborg]

Looks so good!

 

[Disco Dave]

Great trailer. Now I'm excited.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Great, now they ruined MJ's look too... They made Peter look much younger and MJ much older.

Who cares about MJ!? She's a side character and hopefully Spidey 2 won't have boring scenes where we must play as her and do investigations... That said, I don't really mind the change.

 

[Ozriel]

This looks really good, and that PS5 bundle is going to absolutely dominate Christmas sales.

 

[X-Wing]

Looking really good. Can't wait for this to release.

 

[Disco Dave]

Ugly, my god, what kind of Girls some people here go out, cant even imagine.

 

[Laieon]

I think the game looks great. My only complaint is that I still don't like the new Peter face.

 

[DenchDeckard]

That looks amazing! This is going to be amazing. Day one.

How come they changed Mary Jane?

 

[Urban]

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This scene is pretty great at displaying the new physics system on both hair and clothes as well as the large crowd of NPCs doing their thing in the background! We might have a true next-gen title here!

 

[HundredThousandTrillion]

Great, now they ruined MJ's look too... They made Peter look much younger and MJ much older.

She went from generic gaming character to 70s glow up.

Devs are not hiding hair behind pony tales anymore.

 

[SJRB]

how are people impressed by this?

Nice post history. Who's alt is this?

 

[Fredrik]

Great, now they ruined MJ's look too... They made Peter look much younger and MJ much older.

I don’t think they updated Peter to look younger. Any source on that?
Either way it still looks like it’s minimum 10 years difference between MJ and Peter. But how does Spidey age? Maybe there is a reason for the differences? What does the comics fans say?

 

[sigmaZ]

Sexy or beautiful women are a myth to americans so obviously all female characters made in dev studious of the US of fucking A will be either fat,ugly or with more wrinkles than a 70 year old woman to more accurately represent the modern day american woman.

The nose is the thing that stands out the most to me. Everything else is more of a hair style and makeup difference.

 

[GymWolf]

Yeah, that bothered the hell out of me. There has to be some story behind that, right?

Bootleg tom holland sells better than the previous great model.

No matter the fact that he make mary jane looks like a pedo because he looks like a 15 years old

 

[GymWolf]

Nonsense, spiderman 3 gave us the national trasure that is bully mcguire.

 

[Whitecrow]

The faces look aasssss.
Looks like they cant nail the unstylized faces with their current tech,

Doenst look like a PS5 graphical showcase, but it looks good enough.
