I am here to eat my Spiderman 2 crow!

Enjoy that crow OP! Game looks great. People seem to complain that this is a known quantity but at least I know for sure I'll enjoy it.

That's subjective.

Talking strictly about game design here. Looks like something from 2009.

I agree, game design is very outdated, it definitely needs more loading screens like recent games.

Outdated game design like instantaneous loading from map to gameplay, fast character switching, those belong to bygone cartridge era

Looks like a playing-it-safe expansion on the first game with tons of asset reuse

Care to throw out some examples of what you consider a visible significant enhancement on such a game?
Double the size of the city, at least 2 playable characters, no loadings, even faster movement through the environment, new enemies, no more last gen release (thank fuck) and continuing the story people enjoyed last time.

There is one part of that trailer I don't understand. Why would the public in one area of New York call for only either Miles or Peter for help? If they're in trouble wouldn't either Spider-Man be helpful?
 
You're talking visuals only?

That's fucking rich coming from a guy with a zelda avatar :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Obviously there's an image quality improvement from the first, but I guess if you're used to cell shaded cartoon games at 30fps every last and current gen game with more realistic graphics start all looking the same
 
Looks really good and fresh. I didn't feel the hype as I recently completed SM1 and MM, but this looks interesting. There's one thing though I really want...MOOAAAR STEALTH! Make it a Splinter Cell game!

Yes go on attack Zelda, make sure no one is talking about Spider-man now, muddy the water for King Jim 🙌🏻
 
Kinda like Elden Ring and Dark Souls? That's more like a positive

This game is nothing like those games.

Odd complaint when a huge number of games aren't doing things drastically different with the overall design. Yet many are still great.

In what way?

A couple of recent examples:

Elden Ring: Open world exploration guided by world design.

Starfield: a few button presses changes your planet. Instant switching of biomes. There is a loading screen but it's fast enough. Gives you very good visual variety.

Not saying Spiderman 2 should copy those two. It's not possible within the IP. But a fresh take to world design or maybe how quests are handled would be much appreciated. As of now it's a cool game but overly familiar.
 
Funny you mention muddy, that's exactly what I see when I look at Zelda's graphics :messenger_tears_of_joy: (y)
Who is talking about Zelda? Go to the offical TOTK thread and throw up all over there, Nintendo games were never graphically or technologically impressive but the ONLY thing Sony had going for it this past decade, take that away what do you have left?
 
latest Trailer looks much better. What I perceived as "bad" in the first trailer, had less to do with graphic performance than poor choices in art direction.

I still don't understand why the main UI colors seem to be pink and cyan, because they don't match with the classic spider man colors nor with the overly yellow tinted chase scene from the first trailer.
The chase seemed off because they made NY look like a swamp, maybe it's to symbolize Kravens jungle vibe, but the whole scene made it seem like it's set in some swampy part of florida - just felt off.

Definitely, only graphics in the past decade. No gameplay, no stories, no voicework, no immersive audio. Basically Sony's been selling paintings for the last decade and according to you they aren't even that impressive. lol

It's ok to have preferences, no one's forcing you to like what you clearly don't. If you prefer the cartoony shit with the same 3 or 4 protagonists in every single game narrated in baby babble speech, that's ok. But you don't get to call out games for an aspect you preferred ones are 5 gens behind :)

THAT is your example of "modern-day game designs?" Button presses on a menu to fast travel and loading screens?!

At least put some effort in your trolling man. This is too obvious 😄

It looks more of the same and with a cross gen looks like yet, but I platinum Spider-man and Miles Morales so fucking day one for this.

How is this trolling?

Why are you taking instant switching of biomes for granted?

Why don't Insomniac make it if it were so easy?

  1. There is no INSTANT switching of biomes in Starfield lol.
  2. There IS instant switching of biomes/neighborhoods in Spider-Man 2, which Insomniac literally showed today.
That is why it's trolling. You're spreading false claims.

Many of nintendo games are also aimed at having a skill level for a children. many people love them cause it puts a smile on their face something i always here from nintendo fans. For me sony has the vastly better gameplay, and i don't like uncharted franchise lol

Same city is different biomes now??

LMAO.

Nothing wrong with an old school game like this. Am sure it will be enjoyable. But don't try to act like it's something it's not.
 
Elden Ring: Open world exploration guided by world design.
I LOVE me some Elden Ring, but this is a weird take. ER's open world was probably one of it's weakest elements design-wise. Art direction-wise it's 11/10, but ultimately it fell pray to the same copy/pasta pit falls of all open world games.
