yea, Breath of the Wild is a terrible game because of this. :p
god forbid tried and true open world mechanics are in the game.
Triple AAA Iron Man game next pleaseFirst high quality Marvel game. Hope we get more great Marvel games to come that match this.
I know expect this website to cling to this like horizon lol ignoring everything else
The bottom line is that, even this early, we're confident in saying that Insomniac's made the best ever Spider-Man game here. It may well subscribe to every open world trope under the web-spinning sun, but when the end-product is this polished and consistent then that's not such a bad thing. Frankly, you'll already know whether you want this game, but we're more than happy to confirm that it meets expectations with aplomb.
Marvel's Spider-Man is shaping up to be the best Spider-Man game ever made, and we were lucky enough to sit down with creative director Bryan Intihar to learn a little more about the Insomniac Games developed PlayStation 4 exclusive. In our wide-ranging chat, we touched upon how the Burbank studio embarked upon imagining its own Spider-Verse, and we also learned the secrets behind the release's slick control scheme. Don't forget to read our hands on impressions through here.
Do you know how towers in BOTW work?
This always looked like a generic open world game but with a Spiderman-colored coat of paint.
And can we please not turn this thread into another one where it all resolves around one comment ignoring all the praise and focusing on one thing?
Yes, that's all.They literally reveal the map and serve as fast travel points. Like most "towers" in open world games.
wew these look great. photomode should be fun

Yeah, folks; OG Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider is in there and unlockable early on. I ended up unlocking it and using it for the rest of my demo.
The warring ideas of choice versus cinematics even impacts the game's combat. Insomniac is giving players a lot of options when it comes to how they'd like to play Spider-Man, along with an RPG-style skill tree that will allow them to unlock and focus on different abilities. But for truly important moments, the game kicks players over to a controversial quick-time event mechanic that feels more at home in 2008 than it does in 2018. It forces players into "playable" cutscenes that require pressing on-screen button prompts in the proper sequence and timing instead of actually playing the game.
if it's anything like sony's past releases perhaps like a week before release.
Yeah we've been through the same thing with Horizon and then God of War. People have the really dumb complaints prior to the games launch and then what do you know the games are great and praised. When will people learn lol...game sounds phenomenal and it will be phenomenal.Is this your first new exclusive game release with Era? If so, lol, just wait.....
Is this actually considered archaic? Several games still do this across the board.
2017 has Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey for Nintendo
2018 has God of War and Spider Man
It's your turn Sony.
I'm so excited. This gonna be the best super hero game since Arkham Asylum.
It's always looked very Ubi-ish to me, they'll have to nail the basic mechanics (seems like they have) of the game and story otherwise it might get boring.This always looked like a generic open world game but with a Spiderman-colored coat of paint.
Sony games coming from third parties are usually 1 day before release.
SSM and Insomniac agreeing to split the GOTY awards 50/502017 has Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey for Nintendo
2018 has God of War and Spider Man
It's your turn Sony.
I'm so excited. This gonna be the best super hero game since Arkham Asylum.
Daredevil isn't as popular as Iron Man though. An Iron Man game done right would sell Arkham and Spiderman Numbers :p
Aww, only 25 suits? That's a little disappointing. The way they talked about it before in GameInformer's cover story gave me the impression that there's a whole bunch more. Still, stoked to hear Scarlet Spider made it! Guessing the hood is down, though...For shame, I've been forgotten:
Here's my lengthy preview of Spider-Man's early hours: Peter and his supporting cast, combat, skill trees, costumes, and the city itself.
It's quite good.
And here's a news article on just the costumes. Yeah, folks; OG Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider is in there and unlockable early on. I ended up unlocking it and using it for the rest of my demo.
" Controversial"I guess I have to lower my expectations towards the story-focused adventure. As seen in gameplay videos, the free-roam side of the game sounds like more fun but I'm worried about how long the fun of swinging around NY will last.
