Silly question, should I know why Peter Parker is wearing a black outfit with venom-escque powers? I haven’t played Miles Morales so it may have happened there. If it’s only explained in the comics or is something which will happen in the game then that’s fine, I don’t need it spoiled, I just didn’t know if it was something I should have already known about before the trailer? We saw the symbiote at the end of the first game if I remember right in a lab but no, we haven't seen anything with Peter getting it. This was that reveal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30 They showed Venom in an earlier teaster trailer too, so it looks like the whole plotline is going to involve the Symbiote.The Symbiote is a alien goo that melds with a human host to create a monstery type being. When it melds to Spider-man, he becomes like an edgier version of himself with powerful goo powers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 15 (edited) Holy shit Can't wait. My mate and I are ready to game share and split the bill I really wish that the first game's PS5 remaster was available on PS+ Edited September 15 by drahkon 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 15 Holy shit Can't wait. My mate and I are ready to game share and split the bill I really wish that the first game's PS5 remaster was available on PS+ That's insane! Such a cool way to fast travel! Any other method is going to feel so slow and outdated in future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will say, it's an interesting choice in a game where I seriously think the method of traversal in swinging around is such a highlight of the game, but considering they've added an entire other borough of NY, it makes perfect sense. Plus, y'know, it's just nice to have the option! 3 hours ago, drahkon said: I really wish that the first game's PS5 remaster was available on PS+ Honestly, I think PlayStation should've got more flack than they did for how they've handled the first Spider-Man on PS+/PS5. The PS5 remaster never came to it, it was only released individually as an upgrade a few months ago outside of the Ultimate Edition of Miles Morales, and they removed the first game from PS+ altogether earlier this year, too. I think Miles Morales is available through PS+ Premium, if you're cool with the idea of jumping straight into 2 then I'd honestly recommend giving it a try! It cuts out a lot of the busy work and trims the fat of Spider-Man 2018, making it considerably shorter and leaner, and is also a super easy Plat. Wouldn't be a bad way to dive in if you're unable to get your hands on 2018 first! 2 hours ago, bob said: 3 hours ago, drahkon said: Holy shit Can't wait.

I don't think it'll make Spider-Man 2018 or Miles impossible to return to...but I definitely think it'll be harder to go back. And to think, I'd only just talked myself out of replaying those games before 2 lands, too. Damn it, thanks Bob!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't just thinking of future Spider-man games (or past ones), i was thinking about literally any other game where you have to go to the slow old method of scrolling across the map, finding a fast travel location closest to where you want to go, watching the boring fast travel animation, and then having to traipse across the remainder of the map to eventually end up where you want to be in the first place.

Think I'll see what the trophies are saying for the Plat, if a second playthrough/NG+ is required then I might go Quality (30 fps) for my first go and then Performance (60 fps) for my second, but that will only be if Photo Mode doesn't auto-change to Quality (which it did in Miles, at least, and I imagine Remastered too). Exactly the type of game I want to play in 60 fps, and considering how Insomniac have been this gen, I doubt there are going to be any major hiccups in going with that option. Plus, Miles was an absolute delight my second time around at 60 fps! Also, looks like we can slingshot ourselves from pretty much anywhere we can reasonably find this time around, which is super cool! On 9/15/2023 at 6:16 PM, drahkon said: Insomniac are just above and beyond any other devs Honestly, it's really hard to disagree. We're still a good bit shy of the midway point for this gen, but in just under 3 years they'll have launched 3 all-new current/next-gen games, and heck, if we want to be pedantic, 4 in total if we're considering Remastered. They're the best PlayStation has to offer at the moment for my money, as I'm struggling to think of any other studio with their combined quantity and quality of output this gen; heck, off the top of my head, I'm struggling to think of any other team under the PlayStation Studio who have put out more than one new game this generation. Guerrilla with Forbidden West and Call of the Mountain, maybe? I know COVID will have been a factor in delaying some projects, of course, and that knock-on effect likely meant it took longer for some teams to even get their first PS5 game out there...but that still doesn't change the fact that Insomniac have had the output that they have. It would have been something praiseworthy in a world without COVID, but in a world with? Kudos to them. And we already know Wolverine is on the horizon, as well as probably another R&C game or something else completely out of left field. It's just wild! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
