I think I heard some speculation that inventory is gonna be tight on the new consoles until maybe 2023. Considering the SM2 trailer said 2023, and Wolverine didn't even have a year, I'm guessing we won't see his game until 2024.
I'm curious if the Wolverine game will tie in to the same game universe.
It could be nothing, or even just an Easter Egg, but there's a sticker on the fridge in the Wolverine teaser that has the number 1048 on it. Earth-1048 is where Spider-Man PS4 takes place within the Marvel multiverse.
Anything with a chip is supply constrained right now. The supply chain is in absolute tatters, and electronics have been hit especially hard. I ordered some new Dells for work about a month ago, they're still "preparing" them. Not even started building them yet.
I'm more than a little annoyed I'm gonna need a PS5 for Wolverine
But by the time any of these games are out hopefully they'll actually be like... Available
I'm hoping by the time there's some games for it, there'll be a Slim version out that looks like a plain black box and not whatever the fuck aesthetic the launch one is.
Target had just restocked PS5s and I got one in the cart... And I said nah. I can't buy a 500 dollar system for two games coming out in 2-3 years. I can wait. Besides, a Spidey or Wolverine console would be very cool
Yeah, the chip shortage is real. Tons of industries are mega affected by it. The automotive industry is in complete disarray right now. They can't finish cars, because they can't install the controller chips. Final Fantasy XIV is having a massive success boom right now, and they need more servers to accommodate all the new players coming to the game, but they literally cannot buy the hardware they need because of the chip shortage. XBox and Playstation inventory is way down. Even the Nintendo Switch, which saw an incredible boom at the start of the pandemic, and Animal Crossing took over the world, they're not selling nearly as many Switches as they could be, because of chip shortages.
It's a big problem.
Honestly, if you can get your hands on a console, you should do it, because who knows when the opportunity might come by again. A Spidey themed console would be neat, but special limited run hardware will be even more in demand, and even harder to acquire than the standard models. If you think getting a normal PS5 is hard, wait until a special edition run.
There were a couple of times when I had a PS5 in the cart in the past months and decided against it cause I didn't REALLY need a PS5.
At this point though, I think if I get the chance I'm going to go through with it, since who knows when they'll be available. And with supply constraint as it is, I aint seeing price drops on the new systems for a good long while.

I absolutely love that the PS5 isn't yet another boring black box.
I've got a Series X, PC and Switch so I'm not hurting for it, it's pretty much just these Marvel games I want a Sony console for
I bought a PS4 Pro pretty much just for Spidey. Think I'll suck it up and just buy Miles Morales on that and wait until I can just walk in and buy a PS5. I'm not hurting for games to play with game pass.

Same, but this thing is HUGE. Way too huge. It's ridiculous how big it is.

Yeah, it's pretty big, but a smaller model isn't going to make any difference on my TV stand unless they got it down to a PS2 Slim level of tiny.

I’d be shocked if they managed a slim model. Watching a tear down, it’s about 80% heat sink.
Without drastic improvements to the hardware they really can’t make it slimmer.

There's actually some debate on that issue right now. There's a new model revision released, and the only change is that... like 40% of the heatsink has been ripped out. Nobody quite yet though knows what to make of it. It could mean the new PS5 is more efficient at cooling. Or it could mean they were too cautious with the initial design and after a year of testing now know they can safely scale back a bit.

Probably a good time to revive this bad boy.

We are in for a real good time this weekend!
After the last two I'm honestly so very excited to see how the story unfolds. And I've managed to see so very little about the game and been completely spoiler free.
Hopefully this game gets a set of DLC like the first game. What are the chances they add Gwen for the third game? Just add a new Spider-Person every numbered entry. Spider-Man 4 brings in Ben Reilly.

Sorry, I demand either Spiders-Man or Man-Spider. Whichever they can render in the most horrifying way possible.
Too bad there’re no suit powers in this one. It’d be cool to have a Spiders-Man outfit that came with the ability “Spiders”—horrify yourself and your enemies!

I'd take a separate DLC set in the 1930's with Spider-Noir.
Just as long as his coat constantly blows in the wind, even when there is no wind.
I would very unironically love a Spider-Noir game, complete with 1930's NYC, punching Nazis, and struggling with the moral ambiguity of violence. Go full pulp on this shit.

After watching Spider-Verse, I really wish the Spot was a villain in this.
I just finished replaying the Spider-Man DLC.
I worried that I might be burned out on Spider-Man, but instead I think I'll just be jaded at the combat, as I assume they won't drop me into the sequel with a horde of minigun/jetpack/shield/whip/sniper mooks.
Reminder: there's combat move where you press square and X in the air and he shoots webs straight down and pulls himself in an AoE slam. If you do that out swinging up high, he still shoots down and rockets feet first towards the ground... start to swing again and that rocket speed is converted into momentum on the swing

And you can turn down the assist to make it a little more physics based. Not quite old spider-man 2 but a decent approximation
But Spider-Man/Miles are two of my favorite games and 2 of the 3 games I bothered to get a platinum.
The gushing from so many folks whose opinions I trust just pushed me.
I mean, a PC version will come at some point. No idea when that point will be, though (my guess is when they're ready to announce Spider-Man 3).
Hey I bought an original Xbox for Jet Set Radio Future and a WiiU for Xenoblade Chronicles X!
After you do it you then get some nee opportunities for games you may have skipped otherwise.
Hey all, who's ready for some SICK WIPEOUTS?!
I'm looking forward to the inevitable supercut of Spidies just eating absolute shit on the dismount, preferably set to the Jackass theme song.

Although turning down the swing assist sounds interesting!
It's a slider from 0 to 10 (more assistance) with 10 as the default.
Yep! That's why I'm looking forward to trying it turned down.

I think I'll be sticking to that one.
Now, this may come as a shock to all of you, but it turns out that Spiderman 2 is a good game... again (y'know, because of the 2004 Spiderman 2).
