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.

That's some Star Trek shit. (17 Hours ago)

the other amazing thing in that video is the use of the node tools that can just be plugged whilst in VR. You can imagine devs in the future building games in VR instead of on a monitor. (17 Hours ago)

There's other videos showing it mapped to avatar eyes, and it's 1:1 movement. It even detects the size of the pupil and maps it to an object. (17 Hours ago)

Yeah, you'd have thought Valve would have put that in there. eye tracking with those controllers would have made it a true next gen headset. (17 Hours ago)

Once eye tracking gets utilized it'll quickly become a must have feature I think (18 Hours ago)

Too bad the Index doesn't have eye tracking (18 Hours ago)
