New Spider-Man PS5 vs Marvel’s Avengers Comparison Shows the Superiority of Insomniac’s Spider-Man

A new Spider-Man PS5 comparison video compares Spidey from Insomniac's hit title to Peter Parker in Marvel's Avengers on PS5.

Spiderman on the Marvel's Avengers can swing freely. Basically find an invisible building to fire your web at. So unrealistic..

[Z501]

A man crawling on walls is realistic?

[Jin_Sakai]

More realistic than a web hanging from thin air while Spider-Man is swinging.

[slavish0]

lol, good point. it's not real

[hesido]

That's not how "suspense of disbelief" works though. There are still rules within the universe. So the explanation could be as simple (and ludicrous) as the "web creates a portal at its edge to another parallel universe where there are buildings there" and it would still be better than it clinging to nothing. Just establish the rules.

[Melankolis]

Even in an unrealistic setting you need rules

[MaximusPrime_]

@ Z501. wow. It seems you didn't use your eyes and brain. The video clearly shows Spiderman swinging in mid air with no buildings nearby to attached web to for next swinging. I'm talking about Marvel's Avenger game. It's terrible. This is why Spiderman by Insomniac is way better.

[Gamer79]

So you expect them to remake the entire avengers game for spiderman. 😂

[cartoonx1]

there is no real spiderman anyway, so both are unrealistic.

[ChasterMies]

Yeah but I don’t want to have to run while Iron Man and Thor are flying. Also, Spider-man can hover while aiming his webs just like in Insomniac’s game, even though you can’t slow down time in a multiplayer game. All in all, not the worst copy of Insomniac’s work.

[gamer7804]

its true, but they tried to cram a ton of super heroes into a single game and Spiderman was really just shoehorned in to get money from Sony and as gimmick to push gamers unaware that there wouldn't be any story attached to buy the playstation version. We all knew how this was going to turn out... badly.

[Darkborn]

We all knew it was going to be a hack job, but it still is free content and a new hero. This game needs a lot more to be actuslly decent though. The raid is a step in the right direction. I'm just excited to see insomniacs version of wolverine.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

Was a side by side even necessary?

[senorfartcushion]

Always

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

One is a team brawler, and the other is an open-world version of NYC. That alone sets them apart.

[CoNn3rB]

To be honest I would be very very shocked if the Avengers version of Spider-Man was better than Insomniac's seeing as one game was designed entirely around that character while the other is a free character update. I'm not a fan of the Avengers game myself but this just seems like circle jerking for the sake of circle jerking at this point

[Mr_Luke]

Well, Spider-man in Avengers is a good try (besides the fact that you can swing everywhere, even without buildings around...). It could be better, ok. BUT it's not like Insomniac's SM. That's just on another level.

[senorfartcushion]

True!

[dbcoops]

Didn't need the comparison to know which was better, Insomniac is just a far superior developer. Such a smart acquisition by Sony cannot wait for Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine.

[thesoftware730]

I beg to differ about Insomniac being a "Way better developer" mainly in the graphics department. Look at Tomb Raider, no matter if you are not a fan of the gameplay(I am) the games were graphical show-pieces with each release, especially on PC.

Spider man MM is looks amazing, but so does Tomb Raider, the beginning for each one is jaw dropping stuff. I would stop regulay to marvel at some of the scenes.

[Atticus_finch]

Yea TR didn't have bad graphics but I was always underwhelmed because they could be better. But thats probably because Uncharted4 spoiled me.
And Spiderman is easily more impressive graphically. Open world new York vs jungles and dungeons yea not even close. That's before we get to Rachet n clank.
Insomniac easily.

[thesoftware730]

I'm not trying to debate that point.

Just mainly " Way Better " comments.

Then your use of "not even close"..

Major hyperbole..go look again, and "Way Better"" and "Not even close" dont apply. Especially when you throw in the PC version.

[BlaqMagiq1]

Insomniac's Spider-Man was obviously way better. Not even up for debate.

[SimpleSlave]

I don't know about you guys but this Spider-Man is looking much better than that Spider-Man.

Crazy!

[XxSPIDEYxX]

Comparing a Spider-Man focused game, to a game where they added Spider-Man later and clearly not the focus. Seems fair.

[Welshy]

What's unfair about it? It's the same character in a game of a similar genre made by AAA developers in a big budget game.

If the developers weren't passionate about the character and were merely adding him for brand reasons, they shouldn't have bothered in the first place. Since when did a game not solely focusing on one character make said characters immune to criticism?

[IsThatSooo]

Avenger's version is "Off-season" Spiderman. Insomniac's version is race-weight, "fight-night" Spiderman after weigh-ins.

[durran3]

Man people are so dense that they are comparing this. One is a dedicated Spiderman game and the other includes like 7 or 8 other heroes with their own skillsets, unique abilities, talent trees, gameplay styles and combos.

Not saying whether avengers is good or bad but avengers is a far more complicated game with a thousand things happening at the same time with various different heroes then Sony's standalone Spiderman game.

[Knightofelemia]

I prefer Insomniacs Spiderman more fluid less clunky when he moves.

[S2Killinit]

Insomniac are boss

[Vokun13]

Avengers Spidey is def in bulking season. Mad respect

[medman]

Yikes.

[Gamer79]

Just say they are both great character models and leave it there. The rest are just artistic differences, no better or worse just different.

[Spenok]

We're really comparing a console exclusive to a multiplatform title in terms of graphics?
