Really?

I was honestly expecting to be blown away graphically but it looks no better than MM. Even R&C looked better than this.

-Ghost1096d ago (Edited 1096d ago )

The one posted is in 1080p. Here's 4K quality.

The commenter doesn't really know much about graphics.

abstractel1096d ago (Edited 1096d ago )

I was expecting more graphically but it's still a stunning game. The effects let me down the most, but the rest looked really nice. The looker of the show, coming out this year, was Alan Wake 2 (with the exception of the male detective) and trailer with gameplay but no set date being Phantom Blade. Off topic but that game looks like awesome fun to me.

As for "just adding Queens", looks like the city has been upgraded and there's always the chance we'll get to play a small part of the jungle.

Oh, and the 4k version of the trailer makes a big difference. That will go for all games most likely, it's a shame so few have been posted as of yet.

I mean it looks stunning. The lighting in the sewers for example. It’s lovely stuff.

It is weird that graphics are the only thing people focus on, though. The map is bigger and you can travel through it faster and have much more variations on how to get around. It’s not like it looks worse than Assassin’s Creed Mirage or Hogwarts Legacy. Those games look OK but little animations like the mouth movements faulted under scrutiny.

So far the best game of the year is Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, running on 2017 hardware.

Graphics are always secondary.

Incredible looking! just wow!
I had to stop watching because it was revealing too much, but holy crap, it looks like a movie that you're in control of

mkis0071096d ago

Glad it looks like we will finally get more than manhatten for the first time.

darthv721096d ago

...and that was only at 30fps. so you know there will be a 60fps performance mode.

-Foxtrot1096d ago

Holy shit that gameplay was on fire man

I loved this new attitude, the brutality and the like for Peter in the black suit even the f****** voice seemed on point like you could hear the rage behind it, it was great.

Although the funny thing is I do think of the new face mode they brought it when they replaced the original, you know Tom Holland but not really Tom Holland, and with how baby face he suddenly become I just think of him doing all this stuff with that new face and I just don't think it will fit at all.

This really would have matched the older looking, worn down Peter face model and really hope they've changed it again with black suit Spiderman coming into the sequel.

StarkR3ality1096d ago

Well yeah he voices Sasuke in Naruto so he has it in him, brilliant voice actor.

senorfartcushion1096d ago

I agree. The new face won’t work with the symbiote attitude. The voice acting will be the thing that “saves it” though. The fact that they changed the face just to make him look like the film iteration is stupid, and has all been done despite Marvel and Square Enix being stuck in post-Avengers backlash time, from when that game was being judged for having stunt-double character designs.

scorpio_20491096d ago

I can’t stand the new face. The one one was perfect for Peter Parker.

lucian2291096d ago

screw zelda tears of the kingdom, this gets goty, that or ff16

JEECE1096d ago

I don't think it can be Spiderman because people will probably say the map is too similar to the prior game for it to be considered a true leap forward.

Greg28011096d ago

I mean Tears of the kingdom also uses the exact same map from Breath of the wild.

Abnor_Mal1096d ago

They were in Queens with Manhattan in the background, that in itself makes it different to the original and MM.

Now if you can travel back and forth between the two like you can switch between Peter and Miles would be great.

-Foxtrot1096d ago

@Greg2801

It's going to be very telling if journalists will praise TotK as this flawless, perfect 10/10 game but will nitpick Spiderman 2 for using the same map and reusing animations.

JEECE1096d ago

@-Foxtrot

That was the joke.

outsider16241096d ago

If that Phantom 0 game drops this year, it'll probably win GoTy. That game was gorgeous.

Journalists aren’t around to please you.

They aren’t even journalists anyway, they’re just, like influencer reviewer types.

JEECE1096d ago

Bingo. I'm not saying the online game critics in the 360/PS3 era were perfect, but at least most of them had a long history with games and had some level of credibility to what they were talking about. Now so many of them are just people who have played games for a few years and have spent much of that time with a single live service game.

Chryzz231096d ago

definitely NOT spider man but FF16 maybe

victorMaje1096d ago

Incredible!
I have a feeling it’s going to be non-stop fun.

Solid line up.

I knew TDU SC eventually come on PS Plus. Glad I cancelled preorder for Astro or instead.
I heard TDU SC was a mess at launch. Did it improve? I'm going to give it a try

Grayson076101d ago

This is unrelated to the actual post, but can anyone tell me what happened to this site? It used to be the best place to get news, but now it seems like barely any big news comes through, there's little discussion, and it seems to be dying overall. I know there was awhile where I couldn't access the site, but that's been taken care of for a long time. What happened?

Nyxus101d ago

There are a lot of technical issues and it doesn't seem there are many people left who approve stories, so they take a long time to get approved, if they get approved at all.

Eonjay101d ago

Money. It was sold to someone who wanted to maximize the ad revenue while investing nothing into the actual site. Money killed it.

lodossrage101d ago (Edited 101d ago )

I'll add to what Nyxus and Eonjay said

Another reason is trolls are allowed to run rampant. So the few times discussions might happen, they get derailed fast.
There's also the fact that they're more strict on what gets approved now compared to what they were back in the day.

1nsomniac101d ago

Site’s been slowly turning to garbage over the past 5 years. It’s currently almost unusable. Full of utter shit adverts covering everything. You cant even access your profile notifications and it’s been like that for what must be over a year now. It really has become an amateur shit show here.

maximusprime_101d ago

True, I tried opening "my submission" and it opened someone else's list of submissions...

Chocoburger100d ago

An endless amount of rude trolls, along with terrible and inconsistent moderation. I once got banned for saying S***, but then there are other people who can drop F-bombs and not get banned. Mods also punish the wrong people often, just stupidity all around. I stopped submitting stories and I rarely comment these days due to the lack of proper moderation.

DEKUX12100d ago

Always thought this was just a Sony pony troll site lol. But it used to be nuts. I used to check this site every day same as siliconera. I do still check here and there but yeah ain’t what it used to be

Eonjay101d ago (Edited 101d ago )

Love the article description!

Also someone had the foresight to put Neva on there... and monter hunter Stories. Solid additions all around.

MrBaskerville100d ago

They had a strong classic library last year, I don't hope they plan to double down on disney releases again this year, like they've done before.

Here's How Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Holds Up on the $1,000 ROG Xbox Ally X

YouTube tech analysis channel ElAnalistaDeBits has made a comparison video, showing off Marvel's Spider-Man 2 running on Steam Deck, ROG Xbox Ally X, and PS5 (performance mode)

A noticeable improvement over the Steam Deck, but those reflections are hilarious. You're definitely paying for better quality with that hefty price tag. I do like that density isn't really affected by quality, though.

darthv72221d ago

For the performance they were going for, increasing the reflections would not have been viable. The deck and rog can certainly be taken further into the quality mode, but obviously performance takes a huge hit..... but it does look good on a little screen.

shadowT221d ago

Yes, it runs somehow in low graphic resolution and with very limited effects. $1000 for this quality?

drivxr221d ago (Edited 221d ago )

Looks impressive for a handheld that lets you play anywhere other than a living room or a desk.

XBManiac221d ago

It works best with Steam OS, so don't despair.

darthv72221d ago (Edited 221d ago )

...or the PS portal
