This was one of the games I got around Black Friday, been playing a bit and it's just so we'll put together and really makes you feel like you're in Peter's shoes.
The dynamic events, like crimes you have to prevent, the organic way that the classic characters of the Spideyverse fit into the game is just brilliant.
It definitely deserves to sell this well.
@Tekolie: It's not damage control when my service through PSN was working fine, I'm just commenting about my own observations.
It's on topic because the topic is about online network reliability, no reason not to comment about the other service providers.
I gave observations of all three console online networks because it's relevant information.
Any reasons for these dislikes?
These were my honest experience with all three networks in the UK.
If I had any problems then I'd say, PSN has been really good for me, for a long time, Switch has been good too.
XBox kept having problems earlier, signing me out of live, my Halo 5 download kept stopping and dropping speed when it worked.
My smartphone and other devices in the house have had solid connections online.
Personally I've not had any issues for a long time, can't even remember when I had an issue with PSN.
I had problems with my XBox getting disconnected from Live earlier, signing me out, despite having no broadband problems.
Switch has been fine too.
I'm in the UK so it's possible it's not affected us.
My XBox One S kept signing me out because of XBL going down in the UK earlier.
Annoying when it takes an age to download Halo 5.
Haven't had any issues with PSN on PS4 or Nintendo's online.
The obvious ones seem to be MDHR and Moon Studio, but tbh they should be building more studios from the ground up.
Take recent graduates from gaming or artistic disciplines that will work well with making video games and give new individuals an opportunity to gain a career in the industry.
Maybe use experienced studio heads and key talented people with experience, but overall giving back to the industry would be better than just buying up existing industry people.

Gamepass is about the total sum of it's content, not just the big budget titles, so the costs Vs income will no doubt balance itself out as the huge costly titles are fewer and further between.
Development costs are also accumulated over the development cycle, not everything at the start for the whole game's budget.
There's also the very likely situation that people who wouldn't normally play Halo, Gears or whatever will try those games, just becaus...
If enough people sub to GP each year then that's just a pool of money MS can use some of the cash to pay to develop those games.
Say Playground, Ninja Theory, The Initiative, InXile and Obsidian each need $60 million that's $300m over the course of development.
If it takes 3 years+ to make each game then they can divide the costs over each year of development.
MS says GP is subbed to by millions, conservatively (pulling a random number fr...
Agreed, I didn't get a Wii U because the system didn't have much appeal too me, but Switch is a very different thing.
I'm very glad that Nintendo are porting such great Wii U games over to Switch.
Mario + Rabbids, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Octopath Traveler, Splatoon 2, Arms, Kirby Star Allies, etc are all true Switch exclusives, with above average ratings.
Considering Switch is way more popular than Wii U and it's games are selling ridiculously well on Switch it was a good call for Nintendo to put a little funding into porting those Wii U titles to Switch.
Zelda was technically a cross Nintendo console release and with it being such a highly reg...
I love mine, it's just so handy to be able to take it with me, though I don't tend to take it out of the house in case it gets nicked or something.
Having great fun on Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu, Starlink, plus the slew of other games I've had since I got it just over a year ago.
Finally got my XBox One S Monday, loving Forza Horizon 4, just waiting for a bunch of Gamepass games to download (need to upgrade to Fiber).

Skipping E3 doesn't mean a publisher hasn't got new announcements to make or updates on as yet unreleased titles.
It seems more like PSX in December 2018 and E3 in June 2019 won't fit for their marketing schedules, so they're planning something(s) that do.
They already have a bunch of major releases that could release next year, we'll learn what they're planning in time.
So many always say PS3 started poorly, but it actually had a great lineup of games from launch, throughout year one of it's release.
PS3 sold more hardware in it's first year than XBox 360 did, it's just that Microsoft had a year headstart.
PS3 ultimately didn't have to bounce back from any low point, it just continued to build momentum from the off.
I decided to give it a punt, got the Fortnite bundle, with Forza Horizon 4, also decided to get live with the system on Very coz I can pay it off over 12 months.
£229.99 is pretty good IMO.
Amazon were doing 12 months of Gamepass for something like £47.99 which is a steal IMO, half the normal price for access to most of the game's I didn't get to try on XBox this gen.
I've already got my PS4, managed to buy a tonne of games ...
That would be awesome, tighter camera, battling wild Pokémon, keep the wild Pokémon as visible in the world.
More natural terrain, your character should be able to climb, use your Pokémon to access different parts of the world and solve puzzles that the human player can't do him/herself.
Let's Go is good, but this would be awesome.
Exactly, PlayStation's audience and anyone looking for gaming news is going to keep their eyes and ears open for news throughout the year anyway.
E3 being only once a year, based on one set schedule doesn't fit for every publisher's schedule.
The biggest company in the industry are fine doing their own thing.
Sony have never waited 8 years between releasing new console platforms, even PS4 didn't take that long to release, 7 years max is what you'll get, but considering that the tech to put a huge upgrade over PS4 out will be ready next year in an affordable and small form factor there's no reason to wait past launching in Holiday 2019.
A bunch of Devs have probably been working on games for the system long enough to have exclusives and multiplats ready for next holid...
I think there was a statement released to the press, The Verge had an article on it.
Now it makes the most sense to hold an event in early 2019, before E3, to set the stage for the rest of the year.
It makes no sense to announce PS5 in the holidays, like PSX2018, E3 is too crowded with other announcements, plus it feels old now and they want all relevant eyes on them, with the media attention not divided away from their games and hardware.
People expecting Sony to announce PS5 over a year from it's release, like in mid or early 2019 t...
Tekolie what I wrote is all relevant, not just anecdotal.
My bandwidth is relevant because it supports a whole household's internet access being either poor or solid, mine was solid.
At the time if this article being published the down detector didn't show any issues on PSN, I gave information about all three networks, which is being fair and balanced to all networks, from an actual person's experience.
Just seems your nitpicking beca...
