I was honestly expecting them to overhaul the game entirely with brand new graphics and all, seeing as to how this is a very long awaited sequel and on PS5. Yet all we ended up with is a game with the same game engine rehash, visuals and mechanics...

And it's still in New York.....

My excitement level just dropped by 90% after seeing the trailer. It's just so underwhelming. Anyone else felt the same?

Go put a side-by-side comparison pic between Spider-man 1 and Spider-man 2 then and tell me what the visual upgrades are. I honestly cannot see any. Is this what upgrading from PS4 to PS5 means?

Why are you acting like NYC isn't iconic to Spidey and his usual stomping grounds?

Expecting it to take place anywhere else is insane

I remember back in the days when you could literally see the enormous difference between PS2 and PS3 graphics. Even PS3 to PS4 graphics were significant.

But PS4 to PS5 graphics are like... what? I seriously dont see a damn difference AT ALL

Because why would you wanna buy the same game thrice if it takes place in the exact same city? If GTA 1-5 took place in Liberty City, would people want to keep buying too? If Assasin's Creed kept taking in place Rome for all the sequels, that's okay too?

I mean by all means, if you're fine to continually play in NYC non-stop, then sure Insomniac just found another customer to exploit while they just copy+paste their game world assets and start making effortless year-on-year sequels just like what CoD was becoming.

Who's we? Speak for yourself.

I've played every Yakuza, I'm perfectly fine with the same setting, especially when it's as intrinsic to the character as NYC is to Spidey.

People thinking this game sequel is OK are probably the same people buying a PS6 if Sony releases one today for $10,000 just because.

No graphical improvement? No visual upgrade? No new features? "Nah, it's OK it's gotta be good cos they put the word '6' in there"

Yes that's why Yakuza sucks. Rehashed game over and over and people still gobble it up. God, game devs absolutely love such things.

Except each Arkham game did have very different settings. First one was only in Asylum. Second one only in a section of the city. Origins gave a section of the city but in winter. Third one opens up the full city. It's a massive improvement each time.

And best of all? Each game actually has significant improvements to the graphics too, all culminating in Arkham Knight

In what way does Spider-Man 2 look worse than the original?

Either way, it's a much larger game, there's three major areas in the map this time instead of just Manhattan Island, multiple playable characters each with their own skill trees, each character having sidequests dedicated to their playstyles, etc. It's just more of what I loved of the original, and it looked great to begin with so the graphics of SM2 don't disappoint me at all.

I expected more of the same yeah. That's what the Ratchet and Clank games are like as well.

Insomniac are a consistent and quality studio but they're not particularly ambitious with their design. Which is fine.

I see you clearly havent been outside USA much...

Just go to most East Asian cities like Seoul, Shanghai, Japan. Even SEA cities like Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. The buildings are far more modern and plentiful than in NYC, and way taller AF. This is because these countries arent held back by historic sites. They were able to build up entirely new buildings from the groundup European and American cities dont have the luxury to do

There is actually a villain called Barbatos who's this kind of evil bat god whose job was to eat the failed universes that didn't become part of the main Multiverse.

If you're going to troll, at least choose something that can't be proven wrong so easily.

Intihar revealed that Queens and Brooklyn would be added as new explorable areas in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. This addition effectively doubles the size of the playable map, as Manhattan remains fully accessible.

Yep, totally the same map with no improvements
