Venom has to be playable, right? They're not just going to refund all the points you spent leveling the symbiote once Parker loses it right? Right?

OK i just watched two of those vids and fucking wow. Everything about it is top notch.
It's not even releasing for almost 5 weeks and they threw it out there for a few hours.

This is going to be so sick on the PS5 Pro.
Jedi Survivor and Spider-man 2 are all I needed this year. The Venom attacks look great. I just hope the story isn't as predictable as it appears. But even then, I'll enjoy every second.
There is so much lore they could tap into for DLC or Spider-man 3. I'm hoping a Hobgoblin story arc similar to the original run. I can dream.
People will still pick on the graphics, to those people I say, you expect way too much and don't appreciate whats in front of you.

Is that the milk from their endless IP sequels?

It looks really inconsistent and flat.
It looks good enough. Any word on what changes to side quest design were made? That was a problem with the first one, not the graphics.

Must be really inconsistent if you had to get to 7 minutes 45 of the video to find something

Venom powers look very cool.
World and NPCs look very dated.
Main characters look great and move well.
Traversal seems much faster and looked really smooth.
Spider-Man's "angry" voice is laughably bad. Just use a voice modulator if the VA doesn't have the acting chops. Somehow chipmunk Miles is better.
I hope there's more good stuff to do than in the first games as the optional stuff was some of the worst I've seen in a AAA game and you needed to do at least some of it to unlock things. Skip the side quests and the main stories were both pretty good.
Games have come a long way since the first Spider-Man though and I've grown to hate how basic it feels after re-buying it on PC. It looks and sounds like they didn't want to reinvent the wheel here so maybe a wait for sale for me to mess around as Venom unless the previews are misleading and it's a huge improvement from the first games.
That's my preview thanks for reading.

6 weeks of development time for Insomniac = 6 months of development time for your average dev team.

Agree with this.
The type of game Insomniac is delivering in 3 yrs, other developers would take 30 years to make.

Wasn't 6 weeks ? I remember it was shown a 6 weeks old build, not six months old. Give me a break if I'm wrong.

I find this very sad, from you :
It looks really inconsistent and flat.
from an entire video like this( ), you go looking for a Pic, to show what ? I'm not gonna even answer...

Honestly? I don't think so.
More likely a whole DLC focused on him, specially if he ends up being who it seems he will be.
Which I'm fine with to be honest.

Another good one!
I've added it to the OP and also included a short animation of PS Studios logo for a bit more hype.

No, Insomniac has already said that there are 3 skill trees in the game: Miles', Peter's, and Shared. There is no 4th skill tree for Venom.
Venom will most likely be a separate game, perhaps like Miles Morales in a couple of years.

Still no dynamic day and night cycle, or weather?

Not every game needs it. This is one of those games.

Hopefully they allow us to turn them off, with so many accessibility options of the kind it would make sense.

I think the mobility is going to be amazing. Shit, if I was spiderman and I could use a flight suit your damn right I'm gonna have the best time with that.
Swinging then soaring through the air!

Parris is a known Xbox shill. He's clearly insinuating the Spider-Man 2 preview event right?
Dunno I stopped paying attention to him when he celebrated Will Smith clocking a dude for making a joke.

Much of the game is driven by it's set pieces, and those have specific times of day to finely tune the visuals of those set pieces. Hard to have dynamic time of day with those without suddenly jumping to a different time of day.

Untrue. Some examples include GTA5/RDR2/Assassin's Creed changes time for story missions. All the games I mentioned have dynamic time/weather.
I don't see this as a hardware limitation. This is probably more of a time/budget decision.

The lighting , particularly during early sunset in the city is superb. It reminds me of Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man movie, the ending as Spidey is swinging through the streets before the end credits, the lighting and sun reflection from the buildings and through the park trees.

Early gas lighting . They don't like people comparing the consoles and the software. They take a minority of moronic behaviour to paint it as widespread. The arrogance these people have to think these tactics can't be seen through. It's every consumers right to compare what's on the market and they fucking know it.
I'm Xbox, these folk are phoneys, they are up Microsoft's arse, if they had anything about them they would realise they were praising an executive constantly in Spencer yet stated Starfield needed to be a GOTY/one of the games of the generation because of what's been happening with Xbox software. If the guy your praising is so great they would not be in that position to have that kind pressure placed on a Bethesda game.

Will anyone else be kind of avoiding or not using the web wings that much? They look fun as heck, don't get me wrong, but I personally think I'll be swinging around 99% of the time, especially with how improved it looks.

Damn this looks good!
The uncanny valley is deep in this game. Those character faces.....ouch.

Were you expecting the matrix demo level of faces? I think they look good for what it is , semi cartoon/realistc.
Its the animation quality of faces really. Although the graphics make them look fugly as well. They just seem to emote like robots.

This GIF is so impressive!
In particular, pay attention to the shadows of Peter's symbiote tendrils. Those shadows (1) pop out naturally as the attack happens, (2) are high-quality and truly dynamic, and (3) are extremely accurate and even account for the gap between the two "layers" or "threads".
