Look as bad as the trailer. Pretty obvious these are the graphics we'll be getting or else they wouldn't post these so soon after all the criticism.

more than the graphics is the same animations, very similar gameplay... me and (and from the looks of it) most people were expecting to be amazed.
I mean thats how sequels and game development works. It would be expensive and really stupid to redo all the work for animations and also make development take like 10 years.

Gameplay is also obviously same, its a sequel, we dont expect it to suddenly become resident evil 4
 
looks cool, I dont understand the complaints around the graphics at all

looking forward to the release

Of course it looks cool, even if these were taken with the in game photo mode, it just adds incredible detail that is not there in Normal gameplay.

Not that the game looks bad, it actually looks amazing to me…
 
Incoming ' I don't understand the complains' posts.


Of course those screenshots are the answer. If the complains from majority wasn't little, no response would be given.

I think the graphics are good and the symbiotic stuff looks new and like it will change up playing as the original. Was the finisher he did against the wall also new, or was something like that in the 2018 version?After the wall slam to the side where he kicks them into the wall.

I'm interested in if the symbiotic suit is going to have its own suit styles to change it up, and what might happen when/if it gets taken away from us for story purposes.
 
Graphics looks fine imo.
The thing that stuck out for me was the lackluster/missing water physics in such a long water section, won't be a problem for the game itself but you can't unsee it once you do see it when everything else is of high quality.
 
You knows this games going to bees pretty good but I find it very unexciting.

I wish Insomniac would move on to another franchises but this prints some money I tinks.
 
I think people had high expectations but the fact that they reposted a screenshot that matches the original 2020 trailer I would say those expectations were probably just conjured up from nothing but imagination and hope.
The game looks graphically good and I'm not sure what those expectations were. I suspect lighting?

Maybe that is what they target for the final build. I don't think those screenshot are too hard to reach. Those screenshots just have better lighting than the showcase trailer

95% of the game you won't touch the water though.
 
Everything looks great except the Venom suit.
What do you think would be best for the Venom suit? I'm torn because I've seen it shown as both a watery-type of suit and also as a solid black suit. Both looks make sense and don't make sense at the same time.
 
I'm not impressed honestly, I wanted a wow effect and this isn't it.
Does it have a dynamic TOD now? If it's still the same as Spider Man 1 then I'm very disappointed.

Anyway, what stood out to me the most was the gameplay, because I'm sure the game will look good enough so I'm not really concerned about the graphics. But the gameplay? Very classic and underwhelming.

Maybe they're keeping some stuff under wrap for now but give me some nice Web of Shadows-style aerial combat and more weight when on low altitude. For now it seems like there is still this weird feeling like the game is carrying you to not crash into the ground.. Let me do mistake and learn the swinging, it's even more fun this way than just magically regaining height. The old Spider-Man 2 was so good because it was rewarding once you learned how to use the physics.
 
Again, for me the gameplay is what is questionable. The far too common route of game design for sequels - more special powers and overrelying on them - is pretty evident here. Might be wrong but based on the trailer, that is what they wanted to show.

No idea, I just don't find the 'glare' on it very visually pleasing. Everything else looks great, but that specifically sticks out as just looking bad to me.

Maybe just make it a normal black suit with venom powers. Or as you mention, solid black without the reflections.
 
Some of those look like they were taken from cutscenes. There are two venom shots and the one flying shot that look in game and those look worse than the others.

I know, just shouldn't have focused on the 5% where it looks like it needs more polish. But I assume they hear the complaints so they'll probably do something. It's a scripted sequence so they could probably get away with some prebaked wave animations.

Build off the spiderman remaster engine and release the new game in 3 years or go all in on creating new tech/graphics and let players wait 5-6 years for the new game.

I think Insomniac made the right choice.
 
Waiting for PS4 version to be announced...

Cross gen Forbidden West is clear of this disappointment. People on here defending these graphics reminds me how everyone was saying how amazing Miles Morales looks when it got first gameplay trailer and how it was only possible on PS5, but little did they know. I guess we'll have to wait a bit longer to get trur next gen experience.

They heard wrong. We are hungry for next Gen graphics and gameplay. Not more mediocrity.

Nice bullshots though. The flying section looks nothing like that. Miles combat section too.

Someone did a comparison of these shots in the original thread. Difference was pretty stark. Either the demo was an older build or insomniac is pushing bullshots like it is 2007.
 
Devs we've seen these same screenshots of Spider-Man in an action pose since the original game, show us something new! I'd take new screenshots of the villains over more of this
