Doesnt look impressive?
:hides:

The concept of a "remaster" doesn't even make sense for games released in the last decade.

 

[iconmaster]

As someone who's mostly familiar with Spider-Man from the Marvel films, the new face is much less off-putting to me. I was never quite sure what the devs were going for with the other guy.

Wait, was the original actor replaced because he was cancelled for something he said on social media?

No:

In order to bring the best performances to players with our next-generation Marvel's Spider-Man games, we have recast the face of Peter Parker. We loved working with John Bubniak on the original game; however, to get a better match to Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal's facial capture, we have cast Ben Jordan to be the face model for Peter Parker on the PS5 console. He looks incredible in-game, and Yuri's moving performances take on a new life.

 

[Flintty]

Starts with a frame drop when panning lmao

The shadows at 0:28 are also so bad. Sub 1080p shadow map? big oof.

looks pretty amazing to me, and I think I prefer the new Peter. I never played the original but it does look ace.

 

[iamvin22]

Never played the original, was going to hold out for the PS5 first and glad I did. I am in for a treat.

This. I got a free copy from Sony but never played it. Ultimate edition is a done deal now

 

[Entroyp]

Puddles!!

 

[SF Kosmo]

It's really weird how Peter looks like a completely different person. They have already been established that this is not part of the same universe as the MCU, so why make him look kinda like Tom Holland?

I am going to guess they changed him for Miles Morales and now they're changing the old game for consistency. But it's weird, I'm glad it wasn't just me...

"As you can see the game itself is using ray traced reflections on shiny surfaces such as mirrors, window panes, car doors and such. But upon closer inspection magnified at 10000x, we are led to believe the ray tracing solution isn't the optimal solution here and something that the console is probably in it's early stages of delivering peak performance" -Mr Battaglia.

 

[TheGejsza]

:hides:

Same here. Would not say it looks way better than PS4 version outside 60FPS and higher resolution.

 

[timmyp53]

Looking forward to Mary Jane model .

 

[Kokoloko85]

Is there an upgrade package? I already have this. Looks awesome though

 

[Matt_Fox]

Meet our new actor, Tim Halland!

Is this a way to have Tom Holland in their game, without actually paying to have Tom Holland in their game?

Lol did he legit say that? Can tell if he did or if it's farcical?

 

[Bartski]

underwhelming puddles

[Angelcurio]

Thanks for posting this. I was just saying to myself, did they redo his entire model? Looks like they did. Looks amazing

It's kinda weird, the old model looked a little bit more like Tobey Maguire, while the new one looks more like Tom Holland.

 

[Neo_game]

Is performance mode 1440P 60fps ?

That sounds like a lame excuse to recast an actor, the original actor probably demanded much more money because of the success of the first game.

 

[Harlock]

The new one has a dumb face.

 

[Falc67]

Looks exactly like PS4 version I have, but at 60fps. Guess I won't upgrade to the ultimate edition.

 

[GHG]

we made him younger ....... now pay full price!





the reflections are sharper more contrastred than the actual game area? or maybe there is a DOF effect in the game not in the reflections?

Ray traced reflections are typically rendered without the post processing layer.

It actually looks a bit better than expected.

 

[Vawn]

Well, there it is.

 

[Riky]

4k 60? Can't see the resolution anywhere?

 

[Lethal01]

Thank god they fix his face, old one was ugly.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Lol did he legit say that? Can tell if he did or if it's farcical?

He didn't say that, at least not yet. He will once he gets his hands on it a week after US launch!

 

[nordique]

I've already preordered the ultimate launch edition, as I never played the PS4 game

but to my eyes it looks the very similar to PS4 pro? (Gameplay graphics)

 

[Alebrije]

Any video that shows now and before???

 

[mckmas8808]

Nah the new face looks WAY better.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

It's the same game basically, just with better textures and ray tracing from what I can see. And obviously better performance. It's not on the same level as Miles Morales.

 

[Gaelyon]

Great news, i didn't played the original as well now i've got a complete enhanced game + Miles Morales to play on PS5. They changed Peter's face to be closer of Tom Holland's i guess. I don't mind though the original was good and probably closer to the comics. No big deal.

 

[Reindeer]

This is like that soap opera moment when they suddenly replace the old actor with a new one after a few years. Gonna be jarring for those who jump from PS4 version straight into second game or MM.

 

[AV]

"Why would they want to make the character look more like he does in those billion dollar grossing movies?"

We ask, while a thread about the Avengers game's dismal performance floats quietly by

 

[WakeTheWolf]

Nah the new face looks WAY better.

Can we start calling those who like the new face Peterphiles?

 

[Grinchy]

Hmm, I only got like 3 hours into the first one and it just wasn't scratching the right itch at the time.

I had no plans on getting this for PS5, but maybe I will have to keep an eye on this one.

 

[Zoro7]

The 60fps isn't the one with ray tracing right? Ill play at the lower fps to see just how amazing the game will look.

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

The face change is fine with me. Funny hearing the criminal say I hate this crap. Almost like he got his butt kicked once before and never learned his lesson. I'm looking forward to playing this again. I'll probably finish Miles Morales first though.

 

[iorek21]

"Remastered" mode should be on par with that Miles Morales demo, I think

 

[Rikkori]

They're changing the face model to a new one for better marketability with Tom Holland and passing the costs on to the players pretending this is a remaster when it's really just a slightly updated game. Especially when that work is already done for MM. Sony's playing its players for suckers! How many are just gonna take it?

 

[Nymphae]

Best Spider-Man was Web of Shadows

/runs

By a mile

 

[Portugeezer]

Meh, looks the same to me. I know it's not, but just initial impression.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Why is this called a remaster? It looks fucking the same but 60 fps.

They are charging us money for the 60 fps version. yeah, they can fuck off.

 

[reptilex]

So wait...is it me or does it look way more bland and ugly graphically than the PS4 Spider-Man? Not talking about the face but really, graphics looks disgusting in terms of colours, light, shading...

 

[IbelieveInGenerations]

Looks exactly like PS4 version I have, but at 60fps. Guess I won't upgrade to the ultimate edition.

Yeah

The New cutscene is impressive, so is the New Peter Parker model

But that Gameplay looked Very unimpressive, almost like they put the PS4 pro version instead

 

[nordique]

It's the same game basically, just with better textures and ray tracing from what I can see. And obviously better performance. It's not on the same level as Miles Morales.

ah ok. Thanks

 

[-Arcadia-]

The 'actor' swap is completely off-putting.

The original was honestly the best, coolest looking Peter Parker we've had in games or film (I like Tobey, but he's a bit of a different interpretation). Now we get MCU Spider-Twerp.

Fucking retarded.

You got it man. Everything you said is 100% true. The FBI should hire you. They can fool the casual players, but not you!

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

That's why it's called a remaster. did you find the original release unimpressive? You got to be kidding is you say yes!

Need updated Spidey pointing at himself meme.

Weird heh.

That's my biggest gripe with this, that previous saves are incompatible. I dropped the PS4 game about 7 hours in, that was about 8 months ago - I liked it well enough but like you it just wasn't grabbing me at the time and I had more interesting things to play. I might be willing to pay $70 for this + Miles Morales, but not if it means I have to start over again from the beginning. And it's gonna be hard going back to the PS4 game knowing there is a version with better performance.

So... that's a pass from me. Might pick up the whole damn thing when it's on clearance Black Friday 2021.

Fucking retarded.

It's actually based off a new actor they brought in. Maybe he looks like Tom Holland as well?
