This game looks amazing, the gameplay and combat are spot-on. Insomniac is really passionate about this game and it shows. Being able to work on Spider-Man is the dream for many of them. And a dream game for many Spidey and/or Marvel fans. Hopefully this game is such a huge success that more and more developers start taking interest in the Superheroes genre. Really need a "real" Iron Man game.
It looks nice but it also feels a lot like a re-skinned Batman game. The combat is almost copy n paste. Web slinging is fun I’m sure but I also think Spider-Man has really cheesy lame bad guys so that does hurt the game for me. But the graphics at least looked very polished.

could have been worse. could have looked like the amazing spiderman films
i like that they're all instantly recognizable as who they're supposed to be. these attempts to "ground" comic book characters often results in horrible things...the above being one example.

Glad i didn't watch Amazing spiderman 2. I mean, what's the point if Peter Parker isn't a dork anymore? Should at least be an awkward kid so puting on the costume feels liberating. Plus that music was such a downgrade compared to the previous trilogy.
And about the grounded look, i wish producers and artists realize one day that the comic-booky aesthetic is half of the charm of these franchises.
My personal wish is for scarlet spider and vintage costumes unlock but the default one will do nicely.

@toelessfoot: Was going to say. Those aren't official ports. Someone like Carmack could get it running in its full glory with proper VR implementation, i.e hand interaction etc (7 Hours ago)

Maybe realtime stencil shadows will be doable on Quest 2. These are the DrBeef ports btw (10 Hours ago)

@MrWhite: Doom on Quest is astonishingly good already and Doom 3 is on its way (without the realtime shadows unfortunately) (10 Hours ago)
