I think launch will be fine, but yeah, better wait for the first revision, specially since I'm guessing a ton of software will end up being moved to later in 2021.


As far as cop stuff goes, Spider-man PS4 definitely felt pro-cop, like all the evil poo poo you'd attribute to cops were shifted to Norman or the Silver Sable Mercs. But with how the DLC ended, you can totally make the move to be a bit anti-cop in a weak way at least. Like not full-on Peter and Miles making ACAB with webbing, but at least having to escape from them and getting to web their guns when fighting other folk. And hopefully the first game comes to PC so we can mod it into letting you beat up cops.

They might give Peter the symbiote. Having Miles have to fight an out of control Peter would be really cool.

I legit expect this to happen in Spider-man 2.

Like in this game, they play around with the Spider-Sense on the controller itself, then gets refined more for Spider-man 2, and then when Symbiote-Spidey goes full Vergil, you have to fight without spider-sense.

The sequel sidesteps it by entirely ignoring the cops, but yeah, the first game can get super awkward with the cop stuff.

I'm still looking forward to playing it when it's half off on boxing day

Only do so if you have a good PC or one of the Pro consoles, otherwise best to just wait for whenever you get a next gen console. The Avengers game will run smoother, have the extra campaigns (i bet they do release hawkeye, but cancel hawkeye) and it'll probably be 10 bucks.


Insomniac also confirmed that later this month, there'll be an update to transfer your Spider-man PS4 save data into the PS5 Remaster. And that if you buy the regular edition of Miles Morales, you can purchase the original's Remaster for twenty bucks at any time. I never did NG+ on that, so I'll probably bite that bullet at some point.

I'm tempted with Kate coming and I'm told that if you just do the story stuff it's fun, but I'm still kinda reluctant.

My take is that I'll wait for it to be like ten to fifteen bucks after I get a PS5. If you got base PS4 or Xbox then it's really not worth it with how bad it runs there.

Has anybody here played Miles Morales on the PS4 and if so how does it run? I'm probably not gonna get a PS5 for a while but I do wanna play MM if it's good.

From what I heard, it runs as well as the original on PS4, a near-locked 30fps with minor hiccups. More detailed than the original, too. The only thing you're really missing on is some hair/fur effects, and raytracing or 60 fps.

Last I saw there are no specifics on which studios are being sold off or not but I doubt they sell off Rocksteady. Their entire catalog is first party properties.

I'm the one crazy person who hates the GotG game and nobody shutting the gently caress up for five seconds is a big part. (the other part is them not shutting the gently caress up about nagging at me whenever i move 2 feet away from the critical path to explore, and those few but not few enough times where you just gotta rub your face against the end of the current map to find the squeeze-through) Game's pretty and fine, but not enough to overcome its flaws for me.

Would love to be proven wrong, but at this point I'm just expecting an expose on Rocksteady to drop in the next year or so revealing it was always a shithole or something. Or on the more "positive" side that WB became hell to work with in 2013ish and everyone kept leaving Rocksteady.

That..... that already happened? There was a big thing in 2020 about how out of 200 or 300 employees only 13 or 17 (can't remember the exact numbers for either of those things but they were in those ballparks) were women and nearly all of them had suffered harassment in their roles, then some huge amount of the rest of the workforce had suffered abuse/jokes about their orientation or ethnicity or various other things and the lead writer of the suicide squad game asked for her name to be taken off the project because of the working conditions on the game.

The gist is that those studios were basically operating in the black, the profit margins were single digit percentage. Not necessarily bad, but when Square's pumping hundreds of millions for those AAA games that's not what they wanna see.

https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1521091428574769155

Ultimately, I think Square is smart for selling because its been over a decade since they've owned those studios and IPs and nothing of note has come out of it, so better just stop trying. Square is stupid as gently caress for not being able to turn big profit out of such big studios with such iconic IPs and it's crazy how bad they managed them. Square is double stupid for going on record saying they wanna use the money of the sale for NFT poo poo.

In general I doubt we'll see huge Japanese companies getting bought out by Sony or Microsoft, just mainly because they own so much poo poo outside of gaming. Bamco and Square have comic publishing, anime studios, probably gyms like Konami, their own toy factories, etc.

I will admit, Dick getting the Techno-BOTW-Glider from Horizon 2 and Jason getting INFINITE SOUL JUMPS is sending me. That's a lot cooler and goofier than I expected.

e: looks fine-ish. It sure is another open world like City and Knight but this time with raidable co-op missions. Combat looks pretty clunky and slow, there's so many times when Dick hitting nothing or backflipping 3 times before he can do the next animation. But they are trying to make 4 distinct characters that can be played for the entire game, so that's a headache to develop. If it's like late 2023 it might be good, but i really doubt I'll get it.
