Insomniac, save us! This is like the first major release in months that released complete with no glaring technical issues that doesn't require a roadmap and promises of fixes for the next few months.
 
As a big proponent of physical media, I'm just happy that Insomniac was upfront about it and straight up said that the entire games is on disc and playable from start to finish since we all know there has been several big single-player releases this year like Jedi Survivor which had a mandatory 50 - 60 GB download.

PlayStation first-party releases are usually complete on disc. I think the last time that wasn't the case was with HFW on PS4 or Days Gone all the way back in 2019.

You can find minor bugs like this in any open world game and of course there's going to be patches down the line with minor fixes or even new features, it still released complete though.

Here some serious devs, congratulations, I will buy your game.

Take notes all publishers with ridiculous releases with almost no data on disc for no reason.

Looking at some performance analysis it seems like it's a pretty solid product despite the minor bugs it may have. This isn't like Skyrim( for example) where it was broken on some systems at launch.

Yeah, 1 bug over 20 hours of gameplay. A dead enemy T posing straight to heaven. Must have been an innocent killed by Spidey.

I dunno if it's a bug as well but he did also show one instance of a road texture having seams. Probably where 2 textures were supposed to connect. I guess that's 2 if you count it as well.
 
I went digital, so I hope you plastic loving cavemen who don't download the d1 patch love your inferior opening while I bask in improved accessibility and polish.

My opening level is better than yours 🤣

Not only do I have access to thugs getting angelically being carried straight to heaven in real time, I also have access to the day 1 patch.

No heaven for digital only people.
 
I'm glad Insomniac is looking out for the little guys. I have a 25Mbps DSL connection and a T-Mobile Box that ranges from 40-1Mbps with a 150GB cap. This generation has been a struggle, I legit don't know if I'll ever even deal with getting Jedi Survivor. :_(

Yeah, this is important but so many companies can't be arsed to properly do their job.

Now if only Insomniac made stealth missions an options download instead? 😉
 
I actually would dare to say that the PS5 generation has been the best state of quality control, stability, and accessibility out of any other generation
 
PlayStation studios level of polish is amongst the best. I can't remember the last time they released a game that was noticibly buggy
 
That's cool but isn't THAT rare either. Lots of big titles this year are playable from the disc (though there are some notable ones which aren't, like Hogwarts Legacy and Jedi Survivor).

Still, it's always good news when the whole game is actually on the disc.

Said every lazy person. Do you also have a pee jug? Can't get up? I'm going to invent the gamer themed auto-feeder so gamers don't even need to think about eating, food just happens to fall in your mouth when needed.

This became a thing when we as gamers allowed it to happen. Just like we will eventually lose our rights to what we own and most be ok with it.
