The Old Sony Megathread

[apsham]

A couple of my favorite shots so far.

Waiting for the Spider-Man Instagram account.

I like to think that he has his own personal photographer who follows him around on his missions. I can see him issuing a serious reprimand when they're not quite in position when he does something cool.

I've only played the intro mission and the first few little police tasks, but I'm loving it already. Everything I wanted from a Spiderman game.

[Kaney]

Yeah it's fucking awesome. I found a collectible poster that references his wrestling match from the first Tobey film. He wrestled Randy Savage for the prize. This poster says he wrestled (Crusher) Hogan!

Yeah it's living up to my expectations so far. The combat can be dicey sometimes to notice the spidey sense but it's still good. Is it wrong I just want to use the classic suit all the time though?

Spiderman is 4K is unreal sorts of beauty.

[apsham]

I'm hitting God Of War "must play more" levels, but even worse. In GOW, I would finish a segment and then realize it was a good place to stop. I can just keep going in Spiderman.

Without sounding dumb, how do you actually take a photo in photo mode? What button do you press? As it doesn’t say...

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Share button, it's just to let you take the HUD off and get nice shots, took me a while to work it out. Can either save or upload them then.

This game is a ridiculous amount of fun. It's also one of the best looking games to date, the lighting in that sunset. 

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I can't get enough of this game, it's just so much fun. Even looking on the map there are like 8 types of collectables I can't even get yet so there's still so much more to come!

[apsham]

And I am not at all running into the issue of those collectibles/tasks being repetitive at all. Research Centers for instance all have unique tasks to do - even those that seem similar are differentiated in one way or another (swinging high versus swinging low, for instance) - so I don't get that criticism in the least bit.

[FLiam]

I was just scrolling through the Spider-Man Reddit page and my word some of the photos people have got are out of the world good. 

[New Damage]

I'm really enjoying it so far after getting it a day late (and wasting a day off!)!

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon but doesn't seem like it came with a code or anything in the box, any help?

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

@New Damage mine was emailed to me.

[New Damage]

Ahhh that makes sense; ordered on my dad's Amazon as he has prime, so will ask him to check on his emails.

[New Damage]

Checked and it was in his emails.

I played it for a chunk first and enjoyed the swinging but felt it was sort of lacking a fluidity and seemed a little slow. But after taking a break and playing again a few hours later, I didn't realise that during the course of play, the speed, fluidity and reach all increased. That break served me well to notice that.

As for the story, I've just completed the mission where Miles Morales is formally introduced, and I'm enjoying it so far. It FEELS like a Marvel Universe Spiderman movie, but in game form.

[=BK=]

Damn it. I fucking LOVE Spider-Man but haven't liked a game since the PS2 movie one so I wasn't interested in this. After reading this thread I'm gonna have to get it when I get paid.

Is the deluxe version worth it or should I just get the standard copy?

[Chris2K]

I'm really enjoying Spider-Man too, I'm another who has spent more time swinging and exploring than doing the actual story missions. I love how they've included proper Marvel landmarks as well as the real-life ones, just wish I could go inside the Sanctum Santorum.

And my biggest squeal moment so far...

Spoiler

A proper Stan Lee cameo!

Just finished Act 1. This game is so damn good. Can't wait to see where the story goes and how the pieces all tie in.
