They went heavy on the film grain


Sidenote the one with the buildings look almost real until you look down at the people & cars lol

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Its so dumb that you need to license the appearance of a building.

 

[Elios83]

Simply stunning
Can't wait for new footage/trailers, hopefully as soon as next week.

 

[Gudji]

Oh shit it's a starfield ship behind spidey!

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Gorgeous but Insomniac is famous for their bullshots. I can't wait to play it to be honest.

 

[Tommi84]

I'm confident this will be a looker. But yet again:

 

[spons]

Its so dumb that you need to license the appearance of a building.

I'm going to trademark my appearance so people cannot legally film me on the streets.

 

[shamoomoo]

Every image looks very clear,I wonder what they are using for anti-aliasing.

 

[Salz01]

It looks good, but still doesn't look as good as the initial tease.

 

[feynoob]

I hope venom section is good. That is the only part which I am excited for.

 

[Xtib81]

Looks like spiderman all right. If you told me those were from Miles Morales, I'd believe you.

 

[Sticks]

Get a load of my spunk

 

[Krieger]

Looks good, but I'm still gonna wait for the PS5 Pro to play this.

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

Is it just me or is it not that much of an upgrade over the cross gen titles?

 

[shamoomoo]

It looks good, but still doesn't look as good as the initial tease.

There isn't a comparable night time shot, also if the Miles screenshot is gameplay,it looks exactly like the trailer. How did you miss that?

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looks good, but I'm still gonna wait for the PS5 Pro to play this.

Why? I'm sure it will run very well on PS5.

 

[Audiophile]

There's copyright agreements to depict buildings?

Should be a case of; if you build something you become a part of that landscape and depictions of it are fair game..

 

[M.W.]

Yawn.

Yep, that's Spiderman.

 

[Killer8]

*new bullshots

 

[Krieger]

Why? I'm sure it will run very well on PS5.

Because "run very well" is good, but with a game like this I want 4K60FPS and I can wait for 2 years to play this.

 

[Salz01]

There isn't a comparable night time shot, also if the Miles screenshot is gameplay,it looks exactly like the trailer. How did you miss that?

I don't get it. I don't think the screen shots which have night time shots, look nearly as good as the initial trailer of the city at night.

 

[ProtoByte]

They need to show new footage soon. Believe it or not, screenshots of the third time visiting this New York and the thousandth time in general for games is not exciting.

 

[Robb]

Looking good!

 

[Fake]

Loads of bullshots.

 

[Slothbeingg]

I don't get it. I don't think the screen shots which have night time shots, look nearly as good as the initial trailer of the city at night.

The trailer has more dramatic lighting, and more close up view of the street.
These new screenshots have normal lighting, top down view. You can't see the details up close so it's hard to compare it with the trailer.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Love new York...love spider man....love insomniac.....

One month!

 

[LakeOf9]

Looks amazing!

 

[Krappadizzle]

Looks good. Though, I really hope we will get a Ultimate Spiderman sequel now that Across the Spider-Verse did so well, I'd love to see a return to that cell-shaded look to give the art more flavor.

 

[R6Rider]

Can't wait to turn off film grain first thing.

 

[March Climber]

They need to show new footage soon. Believe it or not, screenshots of the third time visiting this New York and the thousandth time in general for games is not exciting.

How can this be done with New York's own friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?

 

[Skifi28]

Shooting Jizz has never looked so good in 4k before.

 

[Spukc]

big dick building

 

[Hemingwayoffbase]

I really dig the texture of Miles's suit. Plus I love how games this generation are embracing color! Compare these shots to the brown and grey of every ps3 game. Like a heightened comic/reality hybrid.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

[Moses85]

Looks good, but I'm still gonna wait for the PS5 Pro to play this.

And I, till its 10€

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Times Square looks awesome

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Nothing next gen looking about this despite being made solely for PS5 (and PC)

 

[LordCBH]

Can't wait for this!

 

[Nankatsu]

Mon dieu, can't hold the hype:

 

[rofif]

nope. Still not doing it for me

 

[VN1X]

Needs more chromatic abberation.

 

[akaFullmetal]

Ah ......just one month away.

 

[Certinty]

No idea what has happened to this game graphically.

The first game looked great in 2018, the remaster on the PS5 and Miles Morales both look very good too.

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart from a few years back is probably top 10 visually too.

But this just doesn't look impressive.

They just stopped trying to improve the visuals. It's madness really.

Game looks almost identical to MM

 

[Radical Dreamer]

yawn

 

[TonyK]

Detail looks great, but lighting is still last gen. It still has that crossgen feeling. I will buy it anyway.

I thought they got around this by making similar looking buildings just different enough to get the idea but not the exact architectural design, but yeah buildings should be under public domain-like usage.

 

[Luipadre]

Somehow i have 0 hype for this game and i loved the first one. Maybe im too busy playing great games like BG3 and starfield, but im a lot more excited for alan wake 2 than this game
