Man, I was expecting Peter to look different, but I wasn't expecting him to look like a completely different person.

Some comparisons:

 

 

Yeah, from John Bubniak to Ben Jordan for the face model. Literally a different person. Have to wonder why they'd make that call, I know they said Ben's a closer match to Yuri's capture, but still, it's super strange!

Well this has certainly sold me on the game if I can play the whole game fro  start to finish using this suit. The animation effects for using the suit are just so damn good. They've nailed

Finished my first playthrough of the story earlier today, what a blast this game was! Just finished wrapping up that first playthrough to 100% completion, seeing as Insomniac really knows how to hook

Ok, so here are my top 3 reasons why I think they swapped the faces:

3) The original face guy wanted too much money - could happen? Maybe he thought he had them over a barrel, and when he tried to negotiate for higher pay, they went "nah, fuck it, we'll just swap in some other schmo, nobody will even notice".

 

2) The original face guy has some horrendous skeletons in his closet and they want to distance themselves early - "Oh that racist homophobe? Never met the guy! Our Peter is played by this person. Always has been!"

 

1) The whole thing was done on purpose to drum up controversy ahead of the re-release - no such thing as bad news right? They were worried that no-one would care about a remaster of a game that only came out like a year ago, so in order to draw attention to the fact that they've given it prettier graphics, they replace the main guy for absolutely no reason whatsoever, and wait for all the internet chat to roll in!

Maybe the new face model has something on them.

This looks so good. I can only hope they release it on PC one time in the future (in five years...) so that I can play it. Well done to Insomniac for making a great Spiderman game. It's been a long time since that happened. The last one was, what... Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2? 

And jesus, what is driving people to sending death threats over changes to a character in a video game? In a piece of entertainment? People have too little to worry about these days.

Caught up on some of the Game Informer coverage, and the game continues to look great! The suit @Map shared is awesome, and the higher frame rate and faster loading times have really been on show from the little we've seen so far. Just as an example:

Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro and Spider-Man 2 would like to have a word with you, among others :p funnily enough Enter Electro and its predecessor were both developed by Neversoft, who also developed THPS2, and their first Spider-Man game and THPS2 came out just a few weeks apart!

Spoiler

Photos taken by Eddie Brock, huh? 

It could definitely be a different take on things, but what in expecting to see (and had been before) is Eddie coming in to be Venom at some point (second host), and we end up finding out that Harry was being used as a host for the symbiote when we saw him at the end of SM 2018 purely for medical/healing purposes (first host). Same host order as in the comics, too. 

Could set that up at the end of Miles Morales and then see Harry and Venom in Spider-Man down the line? :D

Watched the Digital Foundry video last night, and I am completely torn about whether I'll be playing in Fidelity or Performance Mode. The ray tracing and effects look superb, and I'm a sucker for taking screenshots of a good-looking game, but at the same time, those 60 fps look so damn smooth. 

Anyone else having the same conflict, or come to a conclusion on which they'll end up playing the game in?

Watching more videos on the Miles game it’s actually bothering me a bit now that the new Peter model and Miles look the same age. It was a nice change of pace to have an older Spider-man which just feels like it’s been completely reversed.

Totally agree. Finished a replay of the original last week and it's DLC, and the old Peter model looked like a bit of a mashup of Maguire and Garfield, which I really liked, because it felt like it matched Yuri's voice (I played in the Raimi suit and he feels like a dead ringer for Maguire's Spidey when he's pulling out quips). Having played that quite recently, and planning to dive straight into Miles Morales at launch, got to admit I'm a little bit concerned that the new Peter model isn't going to be in this game enough for me to actually get used to it. 

And yeah, he really does look around the same age as Miles now. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually, but the little snippets we've seen so far just haven't been enough for me to adjust!

I was convinced I was gonna play through the game in performance mode for the 60fps but the fancier graphics really do look impressive and I don’t really want to miss out on them. I think I may play it in fidelity mode for the story then once I’m just messing around in the city or clearing up side quests then I’ll switch to performance mode.
