Update!

I spoke with John from DF regarding the LOD having been reduced, and this appears to be a bug. I still have to test this but supposedly this might be related to having the game installed on a secondary m.2 instead of the default storage on PS5. If so, I'll forward this info to insomniac for a possible fix.


Good morning everyone! Glad to finally get this video out - I've been sick the past 3 weeks now which has made it difficult to record my voice and concentrate on editing. The game is fantastic and was a nice distraction. This was also an interesting video to put together. I've got hundreds of clips recorded here that I couldn't fit in, so there's a lot more to see! Stay tuned for more content in the near future :)

"The Fink building."

Ah yes that well known Marvel villain, William Fink.

[Symbiote-Man]

I‘m just glad that Miles still has the exaggerated swagger of a black teen.

[TheFiddleFaddle]

One of the most incredible sound design choices, MINOR SPOILER:

As Peter becomes consumed by the symbiote, the sounds of the city become muted. It's very eerie, and so well executed.

[Kneefill]

the licensing issue with chrysler building is such a bummer

[Traeknald]

I feel like these compromises in certain areas were absolutely worth it, especially considering how they were able to get raytracing running on the performance mode

[andryhrakotoniaina]

I think you can truly feel the difference only when they're side by side but that's not a bad thing, it just speaks to how good the first one was made.

Edit: for people saying it’s a bad thing guys we will never see that big of a leap in graphics anymore between generations. We’re already at almost photorealistic levels so of course now only small details will improve

[awsomeboy]

MJ didn't just age a couple of years. It feels like she went to her 30's.

[chriswilliams]

I know I'm not alone in saying this, but seriously MJ's character model in Spiderman 2 feels a little off, almost a little unsettling sometimes.

[vividmusic]

You probably get this a lot but I really appreciate the professionalism and attention-to-detail as you meticulously go through everything the game has to offer. Just a question from me as this is a little concern I had with the game - how did you find the overall pacing and length of the narrative, did it feel rushed or was there enough time to explore the content of the plot?

[BlueisNotaWarmColour]

Damn the time of day being fixed seems like a huge oversight. In Miles you could even control the weather. They need to bring that back in an update, especially now that they've improved the nighttime look so much.

[KEEJEE_]

great video as always nick! one thing i don’t see too many people point out is your natural ability to pick up and play any game with lots of confidence and competence! it makes every direct comparison and review that much better!

[camilarosas]

You really deserve much more credit than right now, your videos are so full of detail that covers everything we would've wanted to see in a comparison

[hyggeravn]

19:05 ey, lining up narration with the background gameplay, nice job!

[UnlikeFlyer]

31:39 did that guy just do the N4z¡ salute?!

[RotatingBee]

Great video Nick, I was only kinda suprised that you forgot to mention the suit damage to each model... or did I just missed it ? Its possible. :DD

[kwk]

The Chrysler building is my favorite building in the whole world. To me it's a way more iconic NYC landmark than the Empire State building. When they removed it, that honestly made me more upset than Peter's face change. I specifically adore the scene in Raimi's SM1, when Ben had just died and Peter was just sitting on one of the eagles, processing his loss

[Shakk]

nice vid as always, sure to get over a million views considering the anticipation and interest on this one.

[thebboy]

Thank you for uploading this so quickly!

@Nick930 A comparison of the 2005 King Kong movie game to the newly released and highly derided Skull Island: Rise of Kong game would be interesting to see.
