Marvel's Spider-Man 2 ā Review Thread Sony - Reviews
That's a hold-to-confirm prompt, not hiding a load. If anyone wants to check, they can look at how late it's possible to cancel it out when they're playing. Last month I brought up whether we should remove the hold-to-confirm, mostly to address that accusation we were seeing. But it was...
HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
PS5 owners are getting a VIP treatment this generation.
Alex impressed by Spider-Man 2's building interiors. Insomniac Games going above and beyond The Matrix Awakens demo in some areas. That amount of detail and up to 3x the traversal speed of the original? Necrokiller yikes!
Newsflash: Baldur's Gate 3 ain't a game by CDPR either. That studio's latest work is a "GOAT-tier spy thriller" that sits below 90 (possibly at 87 if the PS5 version gets 4 more reviews)Not a game made by Insomniac

LMFAOOOO in "some areas" after the game fairs poorly compared to Nanite and Lumen and suddenly using Alex's opinions for anything other than ray tracing. Poor CerebralTiger getting desperate 
Newsflash: It is made by a studio CerebralTiger wanted to see get tarnished since Im a fan
Ummm it IS ray tracing. The window interiors are ray traced. Wake the hell up Samuraiand suddenly using Alex's opinions for anything other than ray tracing. Poor CerebralTiger getting desperate
And why on earth would I not use his opinion on other tech related matters? His view on stuttering, for example
Nah I respect Larian. While their turn-based games are too primitive for my liking, I appreciate that they started from humble beginnings and made their way to where they are today. And even now they show no sign of hubris, unlike "we're CD Projekt, we don't fak around" lmaoooo. Totally deserving of the downfall. Even after 3 years of fixing, they couldn't get universal acclaim for the expansionNewsflash: It is made by a studio CerebralTiger wanted to see get tarnished since Im a fan
Samurai you need to wake up to what truly impresses him, instead of looking for the "wins" in window interiorsUmmm it IS ray tracing. The window interiors are ray traced. Wake the hell up Samurai
A watershed moment then? Not really
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm sure Larian worked hard all their lives just to read this
Too bad for CerebralTiger, now both CDPR and Larian have gone on to make GOAT-tier games. Meanwhile, we all wait for Platilulz Games, Monolith Lulz, Mercury Steam Lulz, Houselulz to actually deliver the same instead of CerebralTiger over hyping the shit out of them for every release HAHAHAHA

I mean, that particular win is not only over The Matrix Awakens demo but also the game you just referenced. Not that you'd get close enough to skyscraper windows in that game to notice unless the physics break, sending you up, up, and awaySamurai you need to wake up to what truly impresses him, instead of looking for the "wins" in window interiors
I can't think of any other game that has used RT for this purpose. If you can, do enlighten me, oh proponent of game changing RT
Monolith Soft did make a 90+ game. It just aged a bit lesser
And up until a few days ago, Insomniac Games was proudly mentioned in that list. A moment of silence for Necrokiller coz Insomniac has ruined his life (and no, Wolverine is being developed by the Ratchet team, so even if it scores below 90, the Spider-Man 2 team stays winning)
I guess we'll find out in DF's year end graphics list how much of a "win" this truly is. Stay tuned oh proponent of "RT is useless" but desperately counting it as a win still when studios don't even give CerebralTiger an option to play witout it. Yikes!I mean, that particular win is not only over The Matrix Awakens demo but also the game you just referenced.

The 90+ game that was immediately forgotten? Compare that to the 90+ game CDPR made that obliterated GOTY awards and is a 94 in 2023. Come back when one of your beloved studios reach this level
Feel bad for Insomniac, reaching 90 where even CerebralTiger wouldn't give them a good chance to win it all when it comes to GOTY awards. Since Monolulz is part of the list, technically, so is Insomniac still. Next stop: WolverineAnd up until a few days ago, Insomniac Games was proudly mentioned in that list.

Insomniac's physics and wooooorld simulation.

Imagine thinking Spider-Man 2 is trying to be GTA. That bike is from a specific side mission, and using vehicles isn't a core mechanic 
Finished the main story last night, but I'm not done since it's so much fun to play
Fantastic combat, fantastic boss fights, fantastic traversal, fantastic story, and the best portrayal of Venom outside of comics. Hands down the best superhero game ever made. The improvements over the original are substantial and meaningful. This is kinda like Insomniac Games' Uncharted 2 moment
I'm also really glad to see that the game:
a. locks you out of side activities when the main story is in a state of urgency. None of that retarded, "hey V, you need to do this main story mission immediately, but don't forget to get laid with Panam inside a tank in the middle of a desert on your way here "
b. acknowledges that you finished the main story in its post-game content. None of that retarded, "oh no V, you died/got incapacitated at the end of the main story, so lets conveniently roll back time prior to the last mission and there's your post-game"
Good job, Insomniac Games!

Loved the review. Spiderman 2 is indeed a gem . No other platform churns as many great games as PlayStation.
Kudos to Sony for creating memorable games for decades for generations to enjoy.

LMAOOOOOOOOO @ UC2 moment. Insomniac needs to win unanimous GoTY by a landslide and be ranked as one of the top rated games this year (likes of BG3 and ToTK) to be anywhere close to that. UC1 to UC2, or Witcher 2 to Witcher 3 moment, this ain't it
GIfs literally showing exact same scenario as GTA but the game isn't trying to be GTA when both are open world set in a CiTy environment with vehicles and pedestrians. Thats one approach

- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Resident Evil 4 remake
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Street Fighter 6
- Spider-Man 2
But where's Staaaaarfield, the game Necrokiller had avatarified in anticipation
I mean, it is ranked as one of the top rated games of the year and is a sure-shot nominee for most GOTY awards

But you don't use said vehicles outside of a bike, and that too during a side mission. Nah, this ain't it. A plausible comparison for GTA is Cyberpunk 2077, where driving/vehicle jacking is a thing. But said comparison doesn't end well for the latter
Definitely a gem of a game. After finishing the original Spider-Man, I didn't even bother with the side content. It was filled with boring, monotonous stuff. Miles Morales was a little better in this regard, but Spider-Man 2 has so many interesting side activities. Been playing the game non-stop after the main story. I'm sure there are some monotonous missions here and there, but it's much less of a concern here than in the previous games.Spiderman 2 is indeed a gem
Imagine calling it a "little" win and celebrating a 91. Desperate times for CerebralTiger and Insomniac. Yikes!Lmao @ Necrokiller celebrating his little win after the Stephanie Sterling review
"sure-shot nominee" HAHAHAHAHAHA put that at the back on the box SonyI mean, it is ranked as one of the top rated games of the year and is a sure-shot nominee for most GOTY awards
Even CerebralTiger isn't confident Spider-Bug 2 can win unanimous GoTY. Says it all really
Its in your beloved NPD charts instead despite being on Game PassBut where's Staaaaarfield, the game Necrokiller had avatarified in anticipation
Even outside of that "immersion breaking" side mission, Insomniac's poor AI, physics and world simulation is there for everyone to seeBut you don't use said vehicles outside of a bike, and that too during a side mission. Nah, this ain't it. A plausible comparison for GTA is Cyberpunk 2077, where driving/vehicle jacking is a thing. But said comparison doesn't end well for the latter
inb4 Spider-Bugs 2 PS5 isn't trying to be Spider-Man 2 PS2
Can't even say that for CD Projekt's most "ambitious" game ever"sure-shot nominee" HAHAHAHAHAHA put that at the back on the box Sony
And Spider-Man 2 will crush it, not only critically but also commerciallyIts in your beloved NPD charts instead despite being on Game Pass
The definition of trying too hard. Every world map has a limit
Also, imagine Necrokiller sharing a gif that shows you can slingshot from anywhere in the game
Here's Much118x showing how it's really done, and Insomniac Games didn't even need to pay him for it
And HOLY SH*T @ that recreation of the 'leap of faith' scene from Into The Spider-Verse
It did win Metacritic certified awards though and the best one was where it put MEH-troid Dread back in its placeCan't even say that for CD Projekt's most "ambitious" game ever
And it didn't even need Update 2.0 to do it
About the only thing CerebralTiger can confidently say about the game. As for Spider-Bugs 2 winning unanimous Goty awards.....yikes!And Spider-Man 2 will crush it, not only critically but also commercially
Yet the game on PS2 doesn't have the same limit.The definition of trying too hard. Every world map has a limit
And what limit is reached trying to enter a subway station in the middle of the CiTy? That's right. Insomniac's outdated design. Maybe they should try harder for their next game. Not a good look for wooorld simoooolation on current gen only game
Showcasing that no amount of slingshot is overcoming the outdated limits of the world that can't even live upto a PS2 gameAlso, imagine Necrokiller sharing a gif that shows you can slingshot from anywhere in the game

Nah the best one was where it lost to TLOU2 by a landslideIt did win Metacritic certified awards though and the best one was where it put MEH-troid Dread back in its place
So we've established that Spider-Man 2 has definitively crushed a game Necrokiller avatarified
Yes, it's totally due to a technical limitation and not licensing that the statue of liberty can't be interacted with
The limit of an underground map being beyond the scope of what Insomniac Games had planned for gameplay. Having an underground subway map for no reason is a waste of developmental resources if they aren't gonna do anything with it. The only reason those subway passages even exist is for the sake of authenticity.And what limit is reached trying to enter a subway station in the middle of the CiTy? That's right.

Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.
-
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol
-
SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.
-
XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

faraany3k:
tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
