New gameplay mechanics is not what we need.
We need good characters and good stories again, beyond daddy issues and beyond female empowerment.
Since these times we're lacking on it, everything ends up falling on 'gameplay's shoulders. But no gameplay inovation will make us care suddently about cringe characters or void open-worlds, and care more about the game, probably.

The gifs here actually got me sorta hyped. Been pretty blind on this since my expectations are low (expecting the garden variety more polished, prettier sequel using the tried and true cinematic Ubi style checkbox formula). I hope Im pleasantly surprised. And that Lizard fight looks dope as shit.
Sucks that I jumped into Mirage and 2077. Feel like I need to take a step back from open worlders for the next ten days in fear of possible burnout. And if SM2 is more of the same (and I sincerely hope it isnt) then its almost a guarantee unfortunately.
Day one and all that.

Ehhh, that's one way of telling me you haven't played Sony games. HFW for example drastically changed the combat actually, has all kinds of combos and powerup moves.
This spider-man has changed the swinging system, added the wingsuit, Miles doesn't play like Peter, etc.
Try them yourself sometime instead of listening to the We Bleed Green podcast.

Nice catch lol! I've downloaded the video and will watch it later once I'm done with work stuff.
Wtf the game actually looks worse than the first one, lol. No, I'm not trolling

You talking graphics because that video isn't 4K? Watch the recent trailers for a better look at the graphics.

Unlisted?
This guy may probably won't receive review code from Sony again.Watching it right now. Major spoiler if you care about it.
He said this is best super hero game. Better than Arkham series.
The game looks flat and washed out lighting wise, with plastic models and childish UI. Resolutions have nothing to do with it

lmao...Forbidden West got less points than the first game.
TLOU2 got less points than the previous game.
Miles Morales got less points than the first entry.
Are you okay?
Now sequels are just cash grabs because they don't revolutionize the IP? Sequels aren't supposed to be reboots.
They enhance what the previous entries already did and do them better, they add more moves, more sets, better graphics and that's it.
Imagine expecting every sequel to be a reboot from a gameplay perspective. You guys really want games to take 10 years to make, lmao.

Been busy finishing up the 1st two games on PC (both games look glorious on a 4K monitor btw), and I have to say, the improvement in combat and sidequest quality in Miles bodes well for this one, if they can manage to make a similar level of improvement to the gameplay then we're in for a hell of a time. It won't be an ultra-inventive game (Insomniac rarely does this tbh, as much as I love their work), but it will definitely be very well-polished and an iterative step in the Arkham-like subgenre of open-world games.

I'm the same way: Years ago I lost interest in the entire superhero genre. But I accidentally tried the Miles Morales game, and all I could say is, a good game is a good game, no matter the genre. It's fun!
Same with Portal 2. I hated puzzle-genre games. But I accidentally tried Portal 2 back in the day and it turned out to be my favorite game for like two years.
So the lesson I learned is, if it's a good game, then perhaps the genre doesn't matter

They actually have meaning. Finishing the Kingpin bases in SM1 ended up yielding a threatening phone call from him that lasted less than a minute.I havent played Miles since launch but what were the sidequest improvements? I dont remember the sidequests and I 100'%d it
Compare this to the Prowler sampling sidequest, that was far more meaningful and helped develop Prowler and Mile's dad as characters.
Both are still not up to Arkham City's standard (which is the gold standard for superhero sidequests, each one delivered a unique Batman moment that felt amazing to behold).

Sounds more like a preview.
How people still break embargos these days is mindblowing to me.

They will say it was a missclick and promise +1 rating to next 1st party.

I expect its going to be good but I wouldn't overhype this game.

It may not be a huge difference gameplay wise from the first two but from everyone who's played it, the weakest parts of the first game have almost all been addressed here. That's good enough to justify the hype I say.

I could be wrong, but I think you're talking about the game built from the ground up, Forza Motorsport.

Finally a great game to wash out the bad taste left first by Starfield and then by ForzaMS. I am expecting Lying Phil congratulating Insomniac for the release and thanking them to show MS games Studios how an awesome game is done!
I will buy it Day one.

Agreed. Day 1 for me, but I think it's going to follow a similar pattern with the previous games. Maybe a few more *gasp* "oh shit" moments justify some hype.
