Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - Digital Foundry Tech Review - The Next Big Leap For PS5?

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 sees Insomniac deliver its most technologically advanced game yet, increasing graphical density and realism, ramping up ray tracing effects across the board and leveraging the speed of the PlayStation 5's solid-state storage in a way that Marvel's Spider-Man and Miles Morales never could.

I am looking forward to playing this in the performance mode

[darthv72]

Same here. Performance mode is pretty much all i use now.

[Babadook7]

In summary. A technical marvel.

[GaboonViper]

Same.

[mkis007]

40fps or performance for me. Extra lod distance and shadows may be hard to pass up.

[darthv72]

my next tv will be a 120hz... I hear good things about the 40fps mode.

[mkis007]

It is a game changer for people who dont want to give up the fidelity but also want a high fps. And the unlocked mode makes it even higher in sm2

[PrinceOfAnger]

I think the tech powering Spider-Man 2 is excellent, and a nice evolution of Insomniac's work on prior games. While it doesn't completely rewrite the visual identity of the game, what's here looks great and there are noticeable leaps over the last-generation games.
-
it still very much looks like the prior games artistically, but once you actually get in there and look closely, it becomes clear that they've taken this design and pushed out detail across the board."

I love the comparison of the density of the city streets with traffic. It really is a huge improvement from the previous.

[jznrpg]

Why would they completely change the visual identity of a well known franchise ?

[SyntheticForm]

Insomniac execution is flawless and they keep pushing the PS5. After this releases all else will be on hold.

[GaboonViper]

That ray-tracing is astonishing, all at a butter smooth framerate, Insomniac are the GOATS.

[Bathyj]

I love the raytracing in the previous games. It makes a huge difference for me with the immersion. I love details.

And there is no mode that does not have raytracing. That my friends is a statement by Insomniac.

[GaboonViper]

Just imagine Wolverine.

[tbagmonster]

is the site loading slowly for anyone else

[Gamer75]

It is for me and articles are really slow or I get a runtime error no matter what device I use

[Mr_cheese]

Yeah, the sites been bad for me the past 2 weeks. Unbareable at times.

[Elda]

For the past few days this site either loads slow or it crashes.

[Profchaos]

Yeah it's been bad for quite a while maybe the new owners are changing the backend

[Flawlessmic]

Insomniac and Sony did it again!!!!

Cant wait to get my hands on this and insomniac deserve all the god dam flowers they receive, what absolute machines they are. best in the business in my eyes and its not even close!!!

I was always looking forward to SM2 but have to say my level of wanting a true AAA block buster have increased 10 fold after starfield and Forza disappointing me quite heavily across the board.

While Sony might have had a very quiet year by there standards at least when they do come, they come guns blazing leaving no doubt about where you go for quality!!!

[shadowT]

Playstation Studios Quality.

[DarXyde]

I have to say, I think this is far and away the best implementation of ray tracing I've seen on consoles to date.

Insomniac living up to their namesake!

Looks outstanding, and I'm bloody ready for this.

[Profchaos]

40 fps vrr and unlocked frame rate for me.
