I'm nostalgic for it since that movie came out when I was... 12? But I'm not fond of the design these days. The eyes bother me. I know a lot of people love that suit so, whatever. Atleast I can say that here without getting downvoted into oblivion :ellipses:

I can't wear that, thinking about how nasty the fans were about it in the leadup to it dropping.

So I finally picked up this game. I'm at the beginning of Act 3.
Is the story just out the window now, or is there more to see here?
Because so far
We have two major villains, Li and Ock who have both switched from decent human beings to irredeemable psychopaths in a remarkably short time, and both their plans seem to be
Step 1: Murder an entire city
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Norman Osborn will pay
and it's just very fatiguing. Act 1 feels like a century ago.
I 100%'d all three DLCs and kinda regret that I won't have any reason to use these new suits. Also kinda bizarre that they wouldn't just save the Far From Home suits for the inevitable sequel. But maybe they'll be in there as well.
This game was amazing and I loved it. Can't wait for whatever is next.
How many suits haven't been used in this game? I'm not a super-fan who knows them all, but the only one I know that felt like it was missing is clearly being saved for plot reasons further on.
I could maybe see them doing the first movie, since it had those distinct eyes. But both the Garfield costumes are pretty similar to the Raimi suit anyways.
Symbiote (obviously)
Spider Armor MK1 (the silver one)
Captain Universe
Ricochet/ Hornet / Dusk
Animated Costume (or maybe the design from the cartoon Unlimited)
The problem is a lot of suits are very samey or just a spin on the classic suit. I really like Ben Reilly's suit (not the hoodie, but his suit with the darker blue and arm stingers) but it's not much different than his vanilla suit. And then you have his out of costume suits, like the Wrestler outfit where he just makes a mask of webbing.
It had two other spider armors, MK II and MKIII. And also, his movie version of the Iron Spider. I can understand why they added those other version, they don't get as much limelight as the original armor. But the silver look is iconic.
Ok sorry for the bump, but just playing this and LOVING it - except for one weird story question.
I feel like a big reveal came out of nowhere with no one reacting...?
So Miles father is killed and we, the audience are shown Martin Li for the first time with the Demons. Peter at this point is out cold and you’re playing as Miles.
One week later, the funeral. And then Peter and MJ are investigating Li?
Why?
Why wouldn’t Peter be shocked his Aunts boss is like, the big bad?
It seems so weird I feel like I missed his big revelation or something.
Did I miss anything or is it just weirdly written?
I’m just beyond this point so no spoilers if it’s like, somehow something I SHOULDNT know yet, but I can’t imagine...

you're meant to infer that Peter recognized Martin just before he got knocked out.

I felt that Act 2 got increasingly less engaging due to the writing, so much so that I quit after the start of Act 3. I am very much in the minority in feeling that way! But if you struggle with staying entertained at that point you can at least know you're not alone

Yeah, I really don't see why they changed the big mission right before that.
This was what they showed at E3 before release: (the changes are at 4:20)
I don't see why they replaced Li with a generic goon, as that was a good point for the reveal. If anything, the goon should have been in the E3 trailer and Li in the game.
I just mentally switch the scenes, and I feel like it's better for it.
That looks pretty sweet. I like that he’s got his own powers to work with.
Loving that pairing of subtitles there.

Here's hoping they decided to ditch Spider-Cop after the initial response
Though I guess I can't imagine anything similar to the first game being in this one, otherwise there's no way they could retool in time for a holiday release
There’s always going to be some cop presence hanging over the series - Miles’s dad was police, after all - but I can imagine the next Peter game may have a considerably different approach to police in general, given how this summer is shaking out.
Well that's a bummer. I only recently learned about the Platinum reward avatar program because of Horizon Zero Dawn. I opted in to the marketing emails and a few days later I got the code. I got plat on Spider-man a long time ago, but apparently they don't award the avatars retroactively. Just for grins I tried chatting with support about it, but they held firm.

If anything, recent events would make police friction with Spider-Man make a whole lot more sense. He's out risking his life taking down people armed with super-science without dealing permanent harm and the police can't even arrest unarmed people who have already surrendered without crippling or killing people. He's also out there helping people for nothing, which plenty of cops would resent because he's intruding on their territory and undercutting their authority.
Spider-Man saying outright that he refuses to work with the police because they're blatantly corrupt and dangerous would be a pretty big deal.
Bring back the police officer from the last game and have them fire her in disgrace (because the department is super corrupt). Then have her start a private detective agency and send you tips that way, with no more police team ups in the game.

the DLC kind of undercuts that idea by a lot
as she is 100% going to be a side-quest villain for the sequel

Lol, haven't played it. Okay, what I said but with the Blonde Phantom. And the Blonde Phantom was never a cop. There you go.
So in Miles Morales, Insomniac has made the wise choice that young black Spider-man doesn't work with the cops but rather uses an App designed by his friend for people to contact him.
I do wonder if they'll even try to address the current state of policing, especially as cops who would otherwise profile him act like he's their friend...

In the real world, webbing up criminals and leaving them for the police to find would be nowhere near as non-lethal as the comic books portray it to be.

And in the real world cops are the villains.
One of these concepts might have some merit to being addressed in the game!
Also that is Spider-Man, the Cat. Ain't no Spider-Cat
Spider-Cat doesn't need a pre-order, does it? I'm not buying until I know whether SM Remastered is worth getting along with it.

Something I completely missed the first time around in those videos is the world transition. Remember how the PS4 version always has a vent crawl or cutaway in order to load those interior areas? Looks like, at least on the way out, those load sequences are completely gone. Miles blasts right out of that building into the open world area of the game, zero transition and zero load time. So much better now.
Losing those "stop moving so fast so we can load stuff" crawls from the PS4 era was basically my biggest personal wish for the next gen, so glad to see that stuff finally disappearing.

Title updated!
Also love how we have seen 3 different jacket over suit outfits because those are my fav.
So now I have a clear path of starter hoodie > upgraded hoodie suit and future hoodie suit.
