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.

I mean, my shield TV can play GameCube games. Does the PSclassic have the oomph to do that? (15 Hours ago)

Then again, with stuff like raspberry pie around and even android solutions like shield or phones, maybe not. (15 Hours ago)

@nostradamus: wouldn't surprise me if if turn into a big success for that reason. Much the same way psp sold well because it was easy to stick custom firmware on. (15 Hours ago)
