Marvel's Spider-Man Looks Amazing in New Screenshots from PS4 Pro

Sony Interactive Entertainment shows off Marvel's Spider-man's amazing visuals in a new batch of screenshots showing Spidey doing what he does best.

[Neonridr]

Do we know anything about resolution yet for PS4 Pro? Horizon looked gorgeous on my OLED 4K. I can only imagine what those panorama scenes from the tops of buildings will look like. Hopefully with HDR as well.

[darthv72]

HDR is pretty much a given for this game. It makes the colors really pop.

[Neonridr]

fair enough, I don't like to get too hopeful until I hear for sure though. 4K checkerboard will look awesome with HDR.

[NecrumOddBoy]

I bet this game will have the best Photomode as that is Spidey's thing. I would love to see the photo op mini games return in game as well! Hype!

[angelsx]

Your LG Oled HDR is ruined already as mine after that update few months ago when they dim game hdr.

[Neonridr]

it still looks great, don't kid yourself.

[2pacalypsenow]

Not if you have a 2017 model, that bug only affected the 2016 models.

My C7 was not affected.

[InTheZoneAC]

Hdr game mode is dim, everything other mode looks fine but you get noticeable input lag

Make sure tv black level for hdr game is set to low, use warmer color settings, and slightly turn up brightness.

[michellelynn0976]

It runs at 30fps.

[Neonridr]

that's ok. It'll still look really good though. I mean Horizon was only 30fps too and it was a stunner visually.

[Lime123]

Yep, just like Zelda and Xenoblade. But it will be 1080p, unlike Zelda and Xenoblade.

[Neonridr]

@Lime123 - great.. thanks for your invaluable input. I sometimes wonder about you.

[jaycptza]

It run in 0000000 FPS on PC and even on XBox One X

[michellelynn0976]

Oh it does look great. I was just telling you the frame rate.

[G20WLY]

Nobody asked 😉
Do you feel the need to announce frame rates in Nintendo articles too? Thought not.. 😏

[Neonridr]

@G20WLY - michelle might not, but everyone else certainly does. Everytime a Switch game comes along and it's 30FPS it's unacceptable. But then we have numerous PS4 / XB1 games that are 30fps as well and apparently it's ok because it's not a twitch shooter. Please make up your mind.

[Guyfamily999]

It uses the same tech as ratchet and clank (also made by insomniac), temporal injection, a rendering technology invented by insomniac. Basically a 2160p framebuffer where pixel information from previous frames is injected into the current frame. Image quality should be very similar to horizon zero dawn :) as in, maybe not quite as sharp as native 4K, but all of the detail of native 4K is there and there is no aliasing or upscale blur to speak of (very smooth and detailed image). Go boot up ratchet and clank for a decent idea of how it'll look.

[himdeel]

9/7 Spiderman swings into your PS4.

[bloop]

7/9

[Muigi]

Probably Checkerboard 4k most first parties are going that route.

[Aceman18]

Yeah this is gonna look as beautiful as Horizon did on my LG 65" 4k OLED. Preordered collectors on best buy since it wasn't up on Amazon yet

[AKS]

Insomniac doesn't use checkerboard rendering. They prefer the "temporal injection" technique they used in Ratchet and Clank, which they think gives them better results.

This is from Insomniac's Twitter account: "4K via temporal injection, 30 fps"

https://twitter.com/insomni...

[Neonridr]

awesome, thanks for the info. I haven't had a chance to play R&C yet (it's on the old backlog, lol).

[Muigi]

Ok my bad

[AKS]

I believe Bluepoint used something similar with Shadow of the Colossus. They just listed native resolutions for the game, but in an interview I watched with DF they said they used a similar technique Insomniac uses. Temporal injection plus motion blur produces about the smoothest 30 or 60 fps I've seen. Looks really good in motion, the key advantage of TAA over lesser forms of AA.

[ShadowWolf712]

4K via temporal injection.

Same method Insomniac used for R&C.

[Ausbo]

It’ll probably be 1800p with HDR. Should look great on that OLED. Once you go OLED, you can’t go back.

[Hedstrom]

I have Philips 65 Oled Ambilight, its amazing. Cant wait to get it in overdrive with GOW and Spiderman :D

[Notellin]

The images say 4k photo taken from PS4 pro. Pretty much guaranteed it will be checkerboard 4k.

[Neonridr]

yep, seems that way. Super excited for September now.

[Notellin]

Yeah I can't wait. I don't understand why I got down votes for stating the facts. It's right there on the images.

[hulk_bash1987]

Looks insane and full of color. I cant wait to see it in all its 4K glory this September.

[SuperSonic91]

So which is better HDR or Low input lag?

[hulk_bash1987]

Idc, as long as it maintains the fidelity of these screen grabs and performs like in the gameplay trailers Ill be a happy camper.

[2pacalypsenow]

Why not both?

[Hardiman]

I can't wait to see this in 4K HDR!!!!

[ILostMyMind]

1) I liked the photos. They look very good.
2) I hate that kind of headline.

[megaleo009]

Amazing,beauterfull and glorious.

[GamesMaster1982]

Never really been a Spiderman or even marvel fan to be honest. But still will be getting this day one just because of how good it looks and because i like Insomniac Games.

[GUTZnPAPERCUTZ]

Looks Amazing! Can't wait!

[G20WLY]

Me too! It's on PS4 btw!

[timlot]

Looks incredible. Shame its not coming to PC or XBX. Just knowing it could look even better but for exclusivity.

[raWfodog]

I think games lose quality when devs have to multiplatform. Resources are spread too thin and corners get cut.
Just my opinion though.

[Nyxus]

Indeed, the best looking games tend to be exclusives.

[LP-Eleven]

No. That's like saying it's a shame that Halo or Mario are exclusive.

[Elda]

Sorry but it was made solely & exclusively for the PS4 console.

[OffRoadKing]

Its right where it should be.

[trooper_]

Exclusives makes a console stand out. Tell Microsoft to stop playing around and deliver on real exclusives.

[BrettAwesome]

@timlot
Lucky it's not forced to look like shit on Xbox one. Could you imagine? Sprawling open world at 720p...now that would be a sight to behold, right? Oooh-weeee...

[Avengerz43]

Looks amazing can't wait to get this on my pro. People that are one system people it's games like these that I feel bad for them. Own them all and never miss a game like this.

[ShadowWolf712]

So far this gen I've only needed to own one to not miss a game like this.

[Scar-]

Looks goooood this is the only game I've been hyped for this year I hope Gow surprises me.

[Ryuujinjakka]

You can take selfies in photo mode. Very nice!

[StormLegend]

Beautiful

[milohighclub]

His eye kinda looks like venom if you zoom in...

[frostypants]

Looks like HZD has some competition.

[Auron]

Game looks great but I hate Spiderman... or should I say WE HATE SPIDERMAN! My love for Venom has totally made me hate Spidy.

[ILostMyMind]

Sony is making a Venom movie. Maybe some day...

[ShadowWolf712]

I wish they'd stop.

[Babadook7]

Those are impressive screen shots. 👍

[jokerisalive]

Pro is a legit BEAST.

[Father__Merrin]

Why does this game look so staggering? Anyone would think developer support is more important than a 1070 installed..anyways great time to be a PlayStation gamer, Glad I choose PS4

[Bebedora]

"Insomniac Got Tallent" ?

I never thought they could pull off such graphics. I wonder if they used some code of that HZD game.
I get that cinematic feel, looking at these screenshots. Really nice!

A small "hmmm..." though. Spider-Mans' suit look a tad bit too clean...or shiny. As if it had that new smell from the factory.

Otherwise - It looks just absolutely brilliant.

[AKS]

You must have skipped Ratchet, which was arguably the best looking game on Pro until February 2017. They're using similar specs and techniques they already used in Ratchet.

[Dragonscale]

Must admit Ratchet does look amazing. The benefit of console exclusive development really shows.

[Bebedora]

To whom it concerns :
Well, if you see ratchet graphics here, you are in the loony bin.

[Tazzy]

I was hoping for Days Gone this year but I'll definitely be getting this the day it comes out.

[AKS]

The Pro footage of Days Gone really shocked me. I wasn't expecting that magnitude of difference.

[Tazzy]

I think its going to be a sleeper hit with sequels maybe we'll get a Syphon Filter remaster.

[paintedgamer1984]

@ xbox dudes comming in here to throw shade at games that look better in 1080p than cartoony ones at 4k 🤗

[OB1Biker]

Yea I noticed a lot of guys fakely whining the game wont be in ' true 4k' or whatever that means. They ve been brain washed or something? Spiderman was one of the games put forward to show case the Pro at the reveal. Of course its going to look exceptionally good in 4k

[AKS]

They're obsessed with the same marketing garbage we saw with 720p vs 1080p in the previous generation. Also, the "true/ fake 4K" business is this generation's "mandatory install," a non-issue manufactured by games "journalists" who manage to make people think using a HDD for faster load times and new rendering techniques to achieve higher pixel density and image quality are somehow major problems plaguing gaming.

[SkippyPaccino]

They actually come here to crap on the Pro for a game that runs 1540p, but are totally fine with the Og Xbox running at 720p....lol

[cellfluid]

Spiderman takin a selfie . Who would have taught lol can't wait for this game... Sony is starting the year with a bang(God of War) and ending with a bang(Spiderman) AMAZING!!

[DivineAssault]

Yakuza 6 next week, GoW after that, some 3rd party for a while then BOOM! Another fine exclusive.. My bank account is getting murdered.. Last year was no joke either

[masterfox]

Nice to see Playstation keeps obliterating the competition all the way to a molecular level XD.

[Aquanox]

Ok, I'm a proud owner of a PS4 but we all know that's not how it's gonna look like. Those screens are clearly doctored.

[masterfox]

Yes of course doctored haha, is hard to believe you are a owner of PS4, Sony Playstation is not bullsh@#$%ing or lying with their exclusives in how stunning their games look, they aren't like Nintendo or MS cynicism you know. ;)

[AKS]

They must have "doctored" the final code of the Pro update of Ratchet while it's running and being output to my OLED as well given it's using similar specs and techniques.

[jznrpg]

Finally a good SpiderMan game , the last one looked like it might be good but was a letdown. Insomniac or SuckerPunch (related to Sony in some capacity or other) were the only 2 studios who I would guarantee that the game would be good so I don’t need to read articles or reviews on it. GoW is another game . Actually a lot of games this gen I have avoided press entirely because I believed the games were going to be good and I haven’t been let down .

[alexbrian]

Took me to another web page but the story looks amazing!
#N4G

[Inzo]

Damn this game looks good. I am starting to feel like a pinball bouncing between all these great exclusives. I am at a point where I am barley buying multiplats anymore. In a time of almost 2 and a half years I think, I have only purchased DBFz and now FC5 the rest are all exclusives or console exclusives and now looking at Sony's 2018 lineup going into 2019 its going to be another couple of years before I get the next multiplat.

[Lapeoik]

Amazing,beauterfull and glorious.

[get_real]

Make it 60fps on Pro and I will buy it, had enough of this 4k 30fps b*****t
