PlayStation Spider-Man 2: Official Discussion

[Hitman81]

I can't stand getting up from my couch to change games. I tried to stay with physical but the comfort of changing games and not getting up is to great. Plus with my son now getting into gaming the last thing I want is him handling physical media.

I can see that but I don't find myself changing discs often, if I'm playing something I'm usually playing it until I'm done with it...whether that be 5 minutes or 5 months.

Definitely having a lot of fun with it so far. Haven't done much in story so far, just swinging around and doing side stuff. Really wasn't expecting there to be a parry system in the game lol that's gonna take some getting used to

I’m doing free roaming ftw. Stopping crimes for xp type fun

 

[what-wut]

Is it just me or is the graphics not that great. I don't think it's pushing the limits of the ps5 by any means. Having said that I'm loving the game.

It’s actually quite a big step up. Could be your TV setup or you’re not remembering how the previous games looked. There’s a lot of screenshot comparisons of the city online

I doubt anyone will agree with me but I find these Spider-Man games to be best in fidelity mode and I’m usually someone that prefers performance. I like the increased traffic because it makes the city feel more alive and I enjoy having more details in things like then hair which sometimes look a bit washed out in the other modes. This is the type of game I eventually plan on playing again if the PS Pro is a real thing next year. I can’t play until Saturday night when the family is asleep. The wait is hard

I'm with you. Increased traffic makes the game world feel so much more alive. That's why the 40 fps mode is some cool to have.

Got little time to play today since my copy came in late and my 8 year old son insist on playing together. The look on his face when we faced the first boss was priceless.

You are right. Often games are remembered as looking better than they actually did once a sequel comes out. But in reality the difference is huge:

Pretty awesome so far. Prefer playing as Miles as i like his electric powers more than Peter's mechanical spider thing.

Just exploring at the moment and roaching low level assholes while i refamiliarize with the combat.

 

[Lovestorm]

How's everyone else enjoying the game? Any preference on their Spider-Man? What difficulty are people playing on?

Yeah I am not sure what you are talking about. The graphics have improved by a shit ton. The foliage on the trees are more detailed, ray tracing everywhere, when you are swinging you can look down and see a bunch of ants then drop and you see people walking around everywhere - town looks busy, nighttime looks gorgeous. There’s practically no little (fade in and out time) to loading almost anywhere.

Only about 2 hours in and loving it so far. So happy to have seen this so early on lol.

[Dizzy]

Got here so late I’m probably not going to be able to play tonight lol

oh come! Did you have to ruin that for us?

Yeah it’s time to abandon this thread until I finish it for myself. Hope you enjoy it. I’m loving Fidelity mode with VRR and 120 HZ Rate turned on auto

 

[Hitman81]

Kind of mixed impressions so far. Let me be clear, much like WB perfected the Batman game, Insomnia perfected the Spider-Man game. Problem is they did in Spider-Man 1. The game looks and plays great which should come as no surprise. But if you played the hell out of Spider-Man 1 and Miles Morales, this game feels very "been there, done that." Its a Spider-Man game set in New York that plays just like the last one. Maybe that will change and I will certainly see the game through to the end to find out. I guess the bigger draw could be a new story?

 

[HenryFlower]

holy shit there’s a Spider-Verse Spidey Noir suit. think i’ll be wearing this for awhile. will be hard to top it

 

[Lovestorm]

Shit just got real...

 

[iNoScopedJFK]

Did anyone else notice in Miles apartment they have a Cuban Flag instead of a Puerto Rican flag? Maybe because im Puerto Rican but that bothered me a lot more than I thought it would.

I think when you're swinging through the city the game is absolutely stunning, I can't imagine it looking any better. When you slow down or stop to take in the views it lessens sometimes but it still looks good. I probably said this in the Sega Genesis days but if games never looked better than they do now I would probably be ok with that.

Damn that’s a pretty bad mistake. It’s an easy mistake to make since the flags are very similar in many aspects so one could easily confuse them but yeah that’s embarrassing. They’ll probably fix that in a patch eventually.
