Playstation Spider-Man (PS4) - Part 3

[First Avenger]

Yes, we saw the perfect dodge in the 2017 demo. I was worried they cut that out of the game.

Here is One World Trade Center comparison someone made. The top image is from one of the new trailers and the bottom one is from old gameplay:

I wonder why they had to remove it from the game?

Ok. Cool. Yeah I wasn't quite sure if we'd heard about that game element yet or not. But I'm glad it's in there as well. I can remember having convos with other posters on here several years ago about game mechanics we'd like to see in a Spidey game. That was something that I think many people wanted...the ability to web specific areas of an enemy's body i.e. their face.

Were the upgrades in that link I posted also known back then during the demo?

IIRC they hinted at some of them during an Insomniac live back in june.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I want the final boss battle to be this engaging.

In tension and storytelling, not just in gameplay.

What’s the best version to get? Imma pre order tomorrow

I had read somewhere that they lost the license somehow.

I don't get it, what's different?

I don't get it, what's different?

The roof of the One World Trade Center is different in the top image.

 

[Galactus123]

The top part is completely different. It looks like a different building. You can see it better in the gameplay launch trailer at 0:21.

Well really it comes down to whether or not you want a physical copy of the game vs digital and whether or not you want some stuff up front. If you want the DLC paid for now, some skill points to start upgrading Spidey right away, three bonus suits at the start of the game, and the spider-drone gadget also unlocked early, well, you either need the Digital deluxe edition or the collector's edition of the physical version. I don't think there's another physical version that comes with the DLC. Me personally, I went with the digital deluxe. Normally when it comes to media I go with physical copies. That's just my own preference. With this game I didn't feel like shelling out the extra cash for the collector's edition so the only option that I liked was the deluxe digital. Ended up costing about $86 US after tax.

I had read somewhere that they lost the license somehow.

They needed a license to put a building in a game?

Here's some new info on the villains we've seen so far (minus Silver Sable).

Yeah they need to get permission from the owner if they want to use a building. For example Ubisoft couldn't use Empire State Building in The Division. It looks like Insomniac/Sony had the license to use One World Trade Center because the building has appeared in many trailers. It was actually the first thing we saw in the 2016 reveal trailer. But now it looks like they had to remove it.

Ohh I see. Yeah the Freedom tower is in both, however the one on the bottom is more accurate, but an outdated screenshot

All those nice quality renders of the villains are great. IMO they knocked it out of the park with the villain designs so far, all of em I dig. Enjoy the fact that they did the recent comics thing of having the lightning bolt burned onto Electro's face, love how huge Rhino is, and Scorpion's design is probably my favorite.

Light spoilers for the opening cutscene:

Spoiler

The first shot that opens the game is the skyline outside of Peter's window with a spider on a web and the One World Trade Center building was in the shot. Now it's just a tall building I guess, though.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Rights to use buildings in games....
I wonder if that is the reason we never had the Chrysler building in a lot of the Activision Spidey games, and why Madison Square Garden was removed after Spider-Man 2.

So they have to get a license for every single building in New York? Thats dumb. You shouldn't need permission to digitally recreate a city and its buildings. Sure if you wanted to have the building be the main location in a game or movie and that location was critical to profits then I could understand giving the building owner some of the profits, but just including a building in the New York background...that shouldn't require a damn license.

Plus, it's an entirely digital recreation in a video game. Not the actual building in the real world. How does the building owner have any right over a virtual recreation of a building?

I'm don't know about every building but I'm sure the owners of famous buildings don't like if someone uses them without permission. I'm not exactly sure what the law is. I remember reading an interview about Infamous: Second Son and they said that they had to get license to use Space Needle in the game. The game is set in Seattle.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I don't know about you, but I feel like buildings should be like...public domain when it comes to licensing. The idea of having to get permission for every single one is completely ridiculous. They're goddamn buildings.

I mean really, what ******* sees a building in a Spider-Man game or any game set in NYC, and says "Hey that's my BUULDING WHERE IS MY CUT OF THE COIN?!"

**** you and **** your mother. It's a building

 

[Rodrigo90]

That’s why buildings should never be built with the intelligence to sue a game for using its likeness

 

[webhead731]

I figured the Chrysler Building in the games looked different out of laziness or rushing. The Amazing games had an accurate one.

 

[Iceman]

A shame that buildings aren't featured properly in many games due to dumb laws like these.

 

[Spidey_62]

It's silly for sure. In my eyes Spidey is a character that's synonomous with New York in a positive way so I feel like having a specific building in a Spidey game (that looks this great!!) would be a welcomed proposition. Especially One World Trade Center and what one means. I mean isn't it good publicity in a way? People see buildings in games like this they may not know and can learn about them, or they already know them and get more fondness for them. I remember thinking it was cool how they had the memorial in the SM2 game with the 2 beams going up. There were a lot of NY landmarks in that game I didn't know of that I learned from playing that game.

I swear the One World Trade Center got removed before and people in other places were upset about it and then it got put back in and people were happy about it and now it's gone again for good.
