Insomniac Confirms Optional 60 FPS Mode for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, Details All Upgrades

Insomniac: "Many art assets have been updated to take advantage of the PS5 console’s horsepower. Better-looking characters w/ improved skin, eyes, hair, and facial animation Ray-traced reflections and ambient shadows, improved lighting, more pedestrians and vehicles stretching into distance Optional performance mode for a targeted 60fps frame rate. Near-instant loading, 3D audio, DualSense controller’s haptic feedback. Three suits, new photo mode features, and even new trophies."

Remember playing the Uncharted on the PS3 and then the rest of the series, already looking stunning in that time and I dream only how good this games would look like running in full hd running at 60 fps , and then it came true with the PS4 release and it was something to behold, really really incredible experience(played all of them from start to finish), so the thing is, this is the exact same feeling with spider man on the PS4, it looks stunning and it has steady smooth framerate(actually it has unlock framerate to be more precise) , so knowing the PS5 will have this enhanced version, is that Uncharted feeling all over again.

So Enhanced Spider Man, Spider Man Miles Morales and Demons Soul, so yeah next gen start when Playstation says so. :D

SullysCigar1692d ago

Yeah, I'll definitely be smoothly swinging around at 60fps. It's already a beautiful open world, so I'll take a performance boost combined with insta-loading!

I'm really looking forward to the new powers he has. It looks quite different from Peter Parker's combat.

* "Started playing now, and saw that the save will not be retrocompatible" *

Why in the world the savegames will not be carried from PS4 to PS5 just like they do in XSX???? What the heck Sony??

UltraNova1692d ago (Edited 1692d ago )

Expecting to get the remastered version of the game you already own is asking too much. If Insomniac, and any other dev for that matter, is going to do this (remasters for next gen) they should at least offer an enhanced patch for ps4 owners of the game to play on the ps5 (better/more stable frame rates and full 4K rez at least via BC).

Re Save games - This is a weird decision. Of course I'm not going to sit here and say stuff I don't understand especially when it comes to programming but I'm sure there's a valid reason why saves won't be transferring over.

To be honest, I don't know what they're planning to do exactly, but what I do know is that they're doing a bad job at communicating it.

Teflon021692d ago

Nova

While I get what you're saying. Then the remaster is essentially pointless.

Also PS4 games will be further enhanced with better framerate etc on PS5 even without it getting a ps5 version

All that take the remastered version of the game to the next level, it's not even close to simple BC auto- enhancements...

"Why in the world the savegames will not be carried from PS4 to PS5 just like they do in XSX???? What the heck Sony??"

Because Sony wants to charge Spider Man owners AGAIN for an enhanced version rather than give it for free as an upgrade.

Just Sony been Sony. Smh.

You explained that so well!

Remastering games (when done the right way) does breath new life into that game/world/those characters & that overall experience. I think in the case of the Uncharted series which was remarkably stunning in it’s original form on PS3, the improvements across the board from Bluepoint for the games on PS4 were nothing short of fantastic (specifically Drakes Fortune/visually speaking) because it was the oldest, which I’d not played in so long. So well done and even more beautiful than the first time I originally saw it, which had me in disbelief. Uncharted 2 tho... Stunning as ever and at 60fps in those EPIC set piece moments😱😍€ 513;The entire remaster of all these 3 globe trotting adventures worth the trip again, a few times over!

Insomniac, I believe will deliver great care here & the results will show, not just on screen, but you’ll feel it on the stick/controller. I’m so ready!

RaidenBlack1692d ago

Just curious, If 60fps mode is Optional.
What am I losing if I switch to that mode from the normal mode?
RT? Resolution?

blackblades1693d ago (Edited 1693d ago )

Nothing but the same question on Twitter, will it be a free upgrade this and that. Its a remaster we all know what that means no free upgrade. Anyways it'll be worth replaying over again, but I did thought we wouldn't be getting remasters next gen considering BC.

Yeah, I never heard that out’ve anyone’s mouth.

blackblades1692d ago

No one I was just saying, like you'll think we wouldnt be getting remasters from this gen on next gen because of BC especially from a game that came put a few years ago.

SpadeX1692d ago (Edited 1692d ago )

"Its a remaster we all know what that means no free upgrade"

Oh okay, so with that logic, Control Ultimate Edition, Cyberpunk, The Witcher, and the other titles with "free upgrade" on PS5 shouldn't count as remasters because you're getting free upgrades. Please don't defend this bs, I love Sony's consoles and exclusives but I won't support this no matter what company brings it up. Simply put, games that we bought on current gen should be upgraded for free on next gen.

Greatball19871692d ago

Are they basically saying they can't hit 60fps with this and you need to choose to enable it, taking a hit in other areas? What a start to the generation if so.

RazzerRedux1692d ago

That is the case regardless of the system. A RTX 2080ti isn't going to run games at 60fps with RT on. Heck, even with RT off a lot of games need reduced visuals or resolution to achieve 60fps. This isn't new. For modern AAA games, there are usually compromises in performance for visuals and vice versa.

SinisterKieran1692d ago

@razzerredux thats actually not true, i have no problem using rtx @4k, in fact. because of DLSS 2.0, you're closer to 80 fps or even 100fps in games.

1692d ago
1692d ago
RazzerRedux1692d ago

@SinisterKieran

Are you running 4k/60fps at Ultra settings and RT fully on? No. That's the point.

@Greatball1987

lol...now you are just trying to pretend someone else's argument is your own. Just stop.

Greatball19871692d ago

"You are just trying to pretend someone else's argument is your own."

Not at all, I was going to disagree with you regardless, and I wasn't going to try to go some technical route like he did since I'm not going to pretend to be a computer guy. I just find it convenient that he already shut you down, that's all.

Anyway, if you're going to go around accusing people of such things and putting words in their mouths then I'll learn real quick to just ignore you.

RazzerRedux1692d ago (Edited 1692d ago )

@Greatball1987

So you were going to disagree with me without even knowing why and you are claiming I was corrected without understanding it at all as you are not a "computer guy". Yeah, you are not making any arguments on your own so my reply to you stands. Don't like it? Sure...ignore me. Won't hurt my feelings.

ocelot071692d ago

@SinisterKieran

It's all good saying enable dlss 2.0. Hardly any games support it yet. Even 2080ti can't run most games with RT on at 60fps. Might be able to do a few but not all. Without having to turn a few things down. Remember a 2080ti was not long ago a £800 plus card.

Neonridr1692d ago

that depends on the resolution of the game now doesn't it?

RazzerRedux1692d ago

@Neonridr

Absolutely it does. Visuals, resolution, and frame rates are all part of the equation. In demanding modern AAA games like Spider-Man, you just are not going to get it all.

Greatball19871691d ago

"So you were going to disagree with me without even knowing why"

lmfao didn't you even read what I said?

"If you're going to go around accusing people of such things and putting words in their mouths then I'll learn real quick to just ignore you."

Bye.

RazzerRedux1691d ago

@Greatball1987

lol....you've said jack and shit. You said yourself you can't talk the tech so no idea why you are even posting. Your entire contribution boils down to "yeah, what he said". Stop pretending you've contributed anything here. You haven't.

"Bye."

Promise?

Greatball19871691d ago

Is there a reason that you're chasing me around the site in separate conversations to call me a liar? I said I was done with you, don't you know how to take rejection? I'd appreciate it if you'd not comment to me if you're going to call me names, thanks.

RazzerRedux1691d ago (Edited 1691d ago )

"there's a lot of people like RazzerRedux "

lol......you explicitly called me out in that single (not plural) "separate conversation" and I responded. Now you are pretending I'm "chasing' you?

Don't want to be called a liar then stop lying.

" I said I was done with you"

And yet here you are again. You can continue to make my point for me but you are making yourself look idiotic.

Greatball19871690d ago

You really are dying for attention, it's quite sad. I asked you to stop pestering me and yet you persist. I should stick to my word and ignore you, let you get the last word like the child you are, but someone needs to oppose trolls.

"you've said jack and shit"

About the same as you, then. You got called out by someone and got your feelings hurt because you pretend to know what you're talking about when you actually don't. At least I don't pretend to be a tech wizard and immediately get embarrassed over it lol.

Fact is, 60fps should be STANDARD at this point. If they can't make the game look next gen and run at a stable framerate then we're heading into next gen too early with weak hardware, period. Don't need to be an expert to know that.

"You said yourself you can't talk the tech"

And neither can you, obviously, as you prove by making false claims that got shot down immediately. Like I said, at least I don't pretend to know specifics and make an absolute fool of myself...

"Stop pretending you've contributed anything here. You haven't."

I've contributed my opinion, like everyone else. And you have contributed some comedy gold, for which I thank you! A walking, talking joke is rare to come by, even on the Internet, but you made it a reality LOL

RazzerRedux1690d ago (Edited 1690d ago )

Who is pestering who? You keep coming back here replying to me, Einstein. You called me out down below and here you are whining again like a child because I actually respond to your bullshit. WTF is wrong with you?

"I should stick to my word and ignore you, let you get the last word like the child you are, but someone needs to oppose trolls."

lol...you don't have a "word" to stick to. I've already documented your lying. You repeatedly coming back highlights this even more. Stop posting and n4g will have one less troll.

I don't need to be a "tech wizard" to understand that higher frame rates always come at the expense of visual fidelity. That's basic shit that even you do not understand. This "standard" frame rate nonsense is a joke. 60 fps is ALWAYS an option in ANY game. Adjust the visuals and resolution enough and there it is.

That is where you are lost. You think yapping "should be standard" will magically make it so without any adjustments elsewhere. That's just a fairy tale and when games are built using fairy dust then you can have your uncompromised 60fps. Until then, I guess reality is just going to suck for you.

"got shot down immediately"

No, SinisterKieran and I disagreed on a point. You waltzed in here and started talking shit immediately after his post. You still have provided "jack and shit" to the conversation. Nothing but your pathetic whining.

"I've contributed my opinion, like everyone else."

And I civilly disagreed with it. There wasn't anything remotely snarky in my first reply. No, you started that shit. You know it. I know it.

I'm going to show you how "sticking to your word" actually works. Even though I could post again, I'm not going to respond. I said it and, unlike you, I'll stick by it. Let's see if you can do the same? You already said you were done, but you lied. Go ahead and throw what little integrity you have away and respond one last time. The last word is yours.

This verbiage is used for every single game that comes out.

I hope you're trolling, if not, you have a serious reading comprehension problem.

itsmebryan1692d ago

Why is that a bad statement? You would take it as a given that a nice generation system first party game would have a better frame rate than the same game on a last generation system as a base. Then it would have better graphics. With a game with so much motion higher frame rate would really be important.

Now the game that was billed as only capable on PS5 exclusive now is running the same frame rate as the PS4 version.

I'm curious to see the side by side comparison.

Father__Merrin1692d ago

Spiderman remastered should ideally be free or at least a good deal for those who bought spiderman. But its like a remaster so I don't know how they do it.

Put your spiderman disk in and play the ps4 game via BCC or play the remastered version? If so there's no need for spiderman ps4 bcc

DaniMacYo1692d ago (Edited 1692d ago )

YES! I was hoping for PS5 upgrade to the Spider Man from PS4 awesome! I wish we could get the same treatment for the Arkham Batman series... who knows maybe one day they will fully remaster it on PS5.

ClayRules20121692d ago (Edited 1692d ago )

That’d be cool to receive Batman Arkham series remastered! I just hope they’d be given a proper remaster, and not done for a quick buck & poor results showing in the end on hardware like PS5/XboxSX would be extremely disappointing.

Marvel's Spider-Man Generated Almost $4 Billion In Revenue During Its First Year

For those spreading lies here about Marvel making the most out of the deal...

The rate has tiers. 9% to 18% physical and 19% to 26% digital for the first 7 mil. So even if it's 26% for all versions it's not that much. Considering all platform holders charge 30%. And just like 30% is how much Sony is getting from call of duty.

Now let's think about how much money Microsoft is making off Indiana Jones on PS5 and steam since there is a platform cut of 30% plus the disney cut...ouch. 😏

Yes considering the IP, 19-26% isn’t really that crazy.
For context google and apple wants 30% for selling your console and PC games on a phone.

Tacoboto161d ago

False
Proof: you are able to purchase titles within the Steam and PS Apps. You've always been able to.

The one exception is Xbox, where they both (1) have their own mobile store agenda, and (2) have remote play built into the core Xbox app, while PS Remote Play and Steam Link are separate apps.

Can someone explain me the math here. 20 million copies x $60 = $1.2 billion max (assuming every copy was sold at $60 which it possibly couldn't).

Even Gta5/RDR2 didn't generate this much revenue in their first year even though they sold much more. Something is off here with this revenue calculation.

162d ago
Chevalier162d ago

Basically people like Boxx don't know wtf they are talking about. There was also an expensive collector edition of the game, faceplate, controllers and a special edition console. Add in new customers to Playstation buying the system to specifically play Spiderman and yeah you can bump up revenue in multiple areas. Spiderman is that popular.

It took GTA 3 days. And Spider Man had a season pass as well that released all it's content a couple of months after launch.

Amplitude161d ago (Edited 161d ago )

Spiderman didn't have a season pass in the traditional sense. It was 3 story missions included in the Deluxe edition, but with the ability to purchase them all separately as a pass. They were multi-hour stories as well - It's not like Insomniac has been constantly building on Spiderman, collecting money monthly from players in exchange for monthly content drops.

Hell, all the skins they released were free for everybody and there have been a ton of them.
Why are we comparing Spiderman to GTA5 anyway? You can pick literally any game or media release and it doesn't compare to GTA5 sales - plus, one is exclusive to Pla-... this is dumb.

Redemption-64162d ago

It's only off if you decide to exclude accessories and custom consoles/bundles. Those are all part of the revenue

162d ago
Redemption-64162d ago

@TysonDor
Sure, if that helps you sleep better at night. You might not be smart enough to know this, but most games don't get bundles or their own custom consoles. If Sony, Nintendo, and MS create a custom console of a game that ends up selling millions, that revenue is counted towards that game. Video game sales are not the only way games make money.

They are not fudging any numbers, they are counting the money they made through this game, hell I would say it's more if we include merchandise sales too, but that goes to Marvel, not Sony
