That last suit would be better without the glow. I think Spider-Punk is just beyond stupid. Thank goodness for the IW Iron Spider.

So you can't preorder the physical disc and the downloadable story content together. You have to pre-order the digital version for the post-game downloadable stories.

If you want the disc, you have to buy the downloadable stuff separately after the preorder (presumably as they come out).

That's extremely dumb.

Wait what? I was of the understanding that all the preorders no matter the version come with the bonus content i.e. suits, dlc, included. Is that not accurate? Btw, I preordered the digital version.

If you ordered the Deluxe Digital edition, yeah, you get all that stuff.

But if you want to order the disc, it'll only come with this:
Spidey Suit Pack
Skill Points
Early Unlock of a Spider-Drone Gadget
Spider-Man PS4 Custom Theme
Spider-Man PSN Avatar


It does NOT come with this later story DLC:

Marvel’s Spider-Man: The City that Never Sleeps –consists of three-post launch story chapters featuring new characters and missions. Users will receive DLC by March 2019

There is no way to preorder the disc version of the game with the City that Never Sleeps story chapters included as a digital download later on. Which is what I wanted to do.

Pfft, well that's lame.

Sorry man.

May I ask, is there a reason you need to have the disc version?

I've always just preferred discs to downloads, and probably always will. There's no real reason for it. It just feels more...I dunno, more real I guess.

I am with you man. Also, just from a practical place, it takes a lot less time to just pop the disc in then download a giant game. Also, easier to take the game off the hard drive and put it back on later, with a disc.

 

[ehh]

So wait... I'm confused.

If I pre-ordered the disc (collector's edition), am I not able to get the DLC when it comes out? Or the gimmick here is that I have to pay extra to download it?

Of course you can still get it when it comes out. You just have to pay for it separately, instead of in one bundle like you can with the Digital Deluxe preorder.

Edit: Oh, you said Collector's Editions. I dunno about that. I ain't paying that much for any video game ever, statue or not. But it looks like you get the DLC included in that $150 price.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

So, is their like a season pass thing? Or do you have to buy them individually?

That is also what I would like to know. They haven't said yet.

It could also just be one bulk DLC that includes 3 different stories in it. Since it's an open world game, that could be the approach they take.

That would be cool. I am fine buying the game and DLC separately. I just you know, would like to know how I would have to go about that.

The one piece of dialogue I don't get is 'We've got costumed nut-jobs roaming the city', if he's been Spider-Man for years, he'd already know about them, he's announcing this in the trailer as if it was new 'news'.

It's in reference to the Raft mission at E3. They said that mission takes place just over halfway through the game, so the second half of the game is the Sinister Six on the loose, essentially.

I'm no a fan of the villian designs. Silver Sable and Scorpion could look better. Electro looks ok but he could have the mask.

This is crazy to me!! I think these are some of the best villain designs I've seen in a while! Silver Sable is a lil weak for me, but the four revealed at E3 i think ALL look spectacular.

On the plus side, I'm happy that each villain is very close to their original 616 concept. Rhino is a giant guy in armor, rather than an actual rhino hybrid or a man inside a robot. Vulture looks like an old man in a bird suit, rather than Michael Keaton with an airplane on his back. I'm glad about that.

I do agree with this. There's still an element of the classic in everything. It's refreshing.

My current theory on the story is....

Spoiler

Peter works for Oscorp as a lab assistant and his boss is Otto, Norman Osborn is funding the Sinister Six, Otto came to him with the proposition of eliminating Spider-Man with his idea of building a team of super villains. Norman agrees due to his agenda as Mayor to get rid of vigilantes like Spider-Man, perhaps Otto's also not a fan of vigilantes?

So when we get to the Raft part from the E3 trailer that is the first time we see the team assembling with their new gear courtesy of Oscorp with Otto most likely building the suits for the team using the tech and money Osborn provided. I'm just trying to figure out how Mr Negative becomes involved, my best guess is that he wants to take over Kingpin's territory now that he's in prison, evident from the E3 2017 gameplay where his henchmen claim that Fisk's territory is theirs now to one of his employees. Norman must have promised to help him take it over with funding for that as well.

I think you're onto something but...

Spoiler

I'm wondering if Otto and Norman are PARALLEL plans.

I wonder if Otto approached Norman about arming Spidey's villains against him and Norman shot him down. "I'm mayor of New York! I won't side with super villains!" so Otto works on his own plot to build armor for the Sinister Six and CAPTURE Spider-Man "Remember, he said not to kill him" to bring to Norman to prove his plan works. I'm also not sure what he has on/for Mr. Negative. Possibly a last minute thing? Maybe the events of the game bring them together?

I think Norman's plan is our story trailer. He hires Silver Sable. He is uninvolved with the S6. I think he may actually be genuine in his beliefs, too. He may not be evil at all. Machiavellian, sure, but not the Green Goblin...not yet.

Have they mentioned how long Pete's been Spider-Man in this story?

8 years.

So you can't preorder the physical disc and the downloadable story content together. You have to pre-order the digital version for the post-game downloadable stories.

No, you cannot. I dislike it, too.

That's why I was glad that not only did the Collector's Edition have a nice steelbook, but I was actually willing to drop the money for it haha. I RARELY see them as worth it, but this one had too much I wanted not to do it.

I do believe the City Never Sleeps pack (the DLC) will be sold separately after launch. I think they aren't mentioning it because they want you to preorder to secure it now. If they say you can buy it later, people won't spring for it now.

Fair enough. We all have our preferences.

 

[socool]

Welp knew this was gonna happen to me eventually lol

There was a 'Behind the Mask' livestream with a bunch of the developers and Yuri and I think Yuri accidentally spoiled two unmentioned villains...

I may have misheard/misunderstood it but if anyone wants to spoil themselves.

Spoiler

Kraven and Mysterio

If so, both are awesome.

I want to see how Black Cat is going to look in this!

I used to prefer discs but I hate hearing them spin in the console. It gets my anxiety going if it’s spinning hard/during a really crazy sequence.

 

[Spidey_62]

Man, I wonder how many more villains they're squeezing into this. If they're not in the main story they could be the other 2 DLC story content aside from Black Cat.

I still have my og PS3 and that sounds like a loud car engine after having it spinning a disc for a few minutes lol.

The collector includes the DLC.

I hope they reveal him before the release. I don't see any reason why they should try to hide him and pretend that it will be a big suprise.

 

[SuperBatman]

Spoiler

You play Mary Jane sneaking around Oscorp

 

[Gamma Goliath]

They already said shes got missions in this

 

[SuperBatman]

Oh ok my fault then I haven't heard that yet

 

[spiderman2]

So is it 10 villains we know are in the game so far? Do we known of 6 costumes so far?
