    Re: Spider-Man (PS4 Exclusive)

    I can't decide whether this is a game I actually would want to shell out $60 for or if I'm just interested in some free-roam and that's it.

    I love Insomniac and all they've done with Ratchet & Clank, but it's small RPG elements and puzzles combined with the Crash Bandicoot kind of nostalgia is what really gets me going with those games. In something like Spider-Man, I feel like it's more just a game of performing combos and such.

    It doesn't look like the campaign/missions are too hampered down in small environments though which is good, but an issue of the previous SM games is that the campaign definitely didn't involve as much web-slinging throughout the city. If this one takes more advantage of something like that, I might be a little more invested in it. It seems like this one is more of a sandbox kind of game where you can swing around and even stop petty crimes and such, so that's definitely a plus.

    None of this speaks on the quality of the game itself, which by the way looks to be a AAA title all the way and appears rather fantastic. I just can't tell if it's worth fondling over for a long amount of time or if I'm better off just renting it. Are there any online play components to this game as well?

    Also, is this actually all of New York city, like its entire landscape? Or is it limited a little bit? EDIT: At least I see Stark Tower there haha.

      To answer your final two questions, there are no online components, it's a single player game. And it's just Manhattan, but it's the biggest Manhattan ever featured in a video game. Also that wasn't Stark Tower, it's Avengers Tower, and it's one of several Marvel landmarks throughout the game.

      There are some RPG-ish elements(?) I suppose, as you can upgrade gadgets and moves and unlock a lot of different suits.

      In other news, I've got just under half of the Collector's Edition paid. Should easily have it paid off completely so I just have to pick it up on release. Might honestly use some vacation days for this one.

        Thanks for the heads up.

        If it's the same tower from the first two Avengers films, that's what I'm referring to. If Stark Tower has been renamed to Avengers Tower, then it's just semantics to me, but that's what I mean. If it's a different tower completely, then I am unsure of what it is in general, but I'm suddenly leaning more towards buying it than not.

        Probably not immediately, though. More of a Black Friday thing I guess.

          This is the one I'm referring to, and it's a completely separate building. This game isn't based on the MCU, so there was no Stark Tower. The game has Avengers Tower, the Wakandan Embassy, and the Sanctum Santorum (Doctor Strange's house). And those are just the ones that have been confirmed. The creators have said there's way more than that.

            Some buildings are also taller to allow for more web swinging.

            Devs even said they made the trees in Central Park taller for the same reason.

              I honestly can't wait for this game. I randomly find myself thinking about playing it every day. I wish I could sleep until September 7th.

              Personally, I think it's gonna be as good as, if not better than the Arkham games.

                I am expecting it to be great but its going to be really hard for it to live up to the Arkham games for me has city and knight are 2 of my top 5 favorite games of all time and origins like top 10 and asylum like top 25. I love batman and Spiderman they are my top 2 favorite superhero's by far with Spiderman being my favorite. I am going to cry if they are like Arkham level or better.

                  Really beautiful city, and the cars are so realistic! I wish they created another open world game with this engine, where you can drive cars, interact with NPCs etc. Otherwise, it is somewhat wasted.

                      But really, the vehicles look so nice and the traffic density is so beautiful, it's such a waste.

                        It's so you can swing through the cars!

                        I'm not tryna play a Spider-Man game where you drive. I honestly don't even think Peter Parker has a driver's license.
