Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
We've talked about it; no dedicated thread though.
Pre-load is up (release is 8/12) and keys are available from Green Man Gaming.
So far the reviews I've read are saying it's a solid, fun experience. A bit dated (the references), but on PC it looks absolutely beautiful. There were some reviewers saying optimization needed another pass and I'm hoping there's a patch tomorrow. I've already updated my video drivers, so all that remains is the waiting (the hardest part).
I'm pretty excited to play and glad to keep supporting more former console exclusives coming to PC.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
I was able to get a couple of hours in, and I've pleased so far. Performance is good and webslinging around the city is really fun once you get the hang of it. I never played the Playstation version so this is all new to me. I figured I would have to use a controller but thankfully mouse and keyboard work really well.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
Yeah, I have a little over two myself now and no experience with the PS version prior to playing. Really, really enjoying it - tone, controls, open world, etc...
It's reminding me a tiny, tiny bit of Crackdown on the Xbox360 probably because of the giant city and I'm just running around now collecting things, activating towers and stopping random crime events.
Feels like a winner.

I played through the PS version and completed everything in the game...enjoyed every minute and would have played more if I had anything left to do. Really great game!

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
Ditto. I played through this game twice on the Playstation. It's really fun with a great story.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
play for few hours so far it is feel very same same open world as others. may be because i just finish Horizen ZD n GOW 2018 not long ago. but the melee seem better than H:ZD. Running not bad on lowend spec. i should put it in backlog for another day when the openworld itch come up.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
Given that this is published by Sony, I wouldn't count on that any time soon.Carpet_pissr wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 9:27 amWoot! Wishlisted bc of that comment.

Given that MLB The Show is on GamePass, anything is possible.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
MLB The Show was mandated by the MLB to be on other platforms. Different situation entirely. If Sony had refused, they could have lost the license.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
This game is so good. Web-slinging through the city is somehow relaxing - the nailed the movements perfectly. I'm still not the greatest at combat, but I'm having a blast - the side missions and random tasks in particular. Main story? Meh. But running around and just doing *stuff* as Spider-Man? The best.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Kermit The Frog Is Kicking Ass In The PC Version Of Spider-Man
The main reason Sony put Spider-Man on PC was to make money. However, the main reason PC gamers were so excited about it—apart from the fact it remains very good!—was because it would let them mod a PlayStation game to hell and back.
We’ve written a story about the game’s mods already, but the last one was a bummer, so today we’re here for something a bit more light-hearted: a mod that turns the in-game model of Spider-Man into Kermit the Frog.
That’s it. That’s the mod.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
Finished the core game a few days ago and just finished the first DLC (of three). Immediately jumped into the second DLC and it's like I'm playing a new game - the DLC difficulty is off the charts. I verified my game didn't get reset to ultra (it was on normal) and after doing some quick searches it would seem I'm not the only one that noticed the insane ramp up in difficulty. That's unfortunate as I'm not sure I'll finish the game now. Was having a blast but this has taken it down a few pegs.
EDIT: Ok, lowering it to the lowest difficulty level has made it much better, but man...what an adjustment.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
I've hit a bug in the Vulture/Rhino fight that keeps crashing me out, sadly. I'm hoping to retry once I can finally get my new computer built.Smoove_B wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 9:21 pm Finished the core game a few days ago and just finished the first DLC (of three).

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
Spider-Man had been languishing in my library for a while, so I started playing this over the weekend to test out my new PC. I'm pretty sure that the last Spider-Man game I played was on the PS2, so it's been a while.
It's so much fun! Web-slinging through Manhattan feels amazing, and it's close enough to the real city that I can often figure out where I am without checking the map. The writing and acting are strong all around, and the narrative has been strong so far (I think I'm about halfway through - past the big event at the campaign rally).
Minor (very minor) New Yorker complaints:

Minor (very minor) New Yorker complaints:
- This Manhattan is full of alleys. The real Manhattan has almost no alleys. I get why they're included--alleys are atmospheric and they add more options for traversal--but I must protest.
- The sidewalk NPCs include those guys who hold up advertising boards and spin them around to get attention. That's an L.A. thing; we don't have them in New York.
- Last night, my game started crashing to desktop regularly - first when fast traveling, and then when loading my saved game. It appears that this is an ongoing issue affecting a lot of people. The semi-solve is to turn off DLSS, which made it go away for a while last night, although it's not gone altogether.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
TV, movie, and comic book Manhattan are all packed full of alleys. They're 3 /4 alleys, most of which serve as mugger hangouts. You can probably blame Batman.
Oddly, most of the alleys are of Canadian descent.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
I’ve played through this game twice already and plan to do it again before getting the latest one. Thats unusual for me to replay a game that often.
I think this is one of the better spiderman stories though.
