Spider-Man: Miles Morales review | Short and mostly sweet, but a ripoff at full price | Firstpost

"Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is like fine dining: a high-quality experience that's over way too soon, leaving you hungry and clutching a fat bill." - Karan Pradhan, First Post

It's definitely a good game but at £50 for a short story, its gonna leave people wanting more. If it was £25 and £45 with SM Remastered then it would be closer to the right price

_SilverHawk_1631d ago

To each his own but is 8 to 10 hours playtime for a game considered short? Sounds amazing to me

NeoGamer2321631d ago (Edited 1631d ago )

Ghosts took me about 25 hours and the first spider-man took me about 19 hours on my first play throughs.

This looks to be about half, which Insomniac told us a while back.

Also, this is really only a SP game, so being that short should be reflected more in the price.

ExBee1631d ago

8-10 hours for a story in a multiplayer game? Sure that's not short!

But a full-price singleplayer only game. Yeah 8-10 hours isn't a lot

CrimsonWing691631d ago

Pretty sure it’ll be less than 8. We’ll see the time for blind playthroughs on YouTube.

TricksterArrow1631d ago

8-10 hours for a SP is OK. Resident Evil 2, one of my favorites, can be beat in less than 3.

Shane Kim1631d ago

Yes 8-10 hours for a full price game is too short.

People who complain about price don't take inflation and cost to develop games into account. Plus you're getting consoles at near cost. A little gratitude, jeez.

Sitdown1631d ago

It's okay not to like everything Sony does. Geeez

SinkingSage1630d ago (Edited 1630d ago )

You don't take into account that despite inflation, people's wages haven't significantly increased in the last 20 years, they're pretty much stagnant, so prices go up but wages stay the same, what does that mean? Things cost more now.

Add on top of that the fact that video games sell more than ever so they can recoup costs that they could not years ago.

Add on top of that the fact that licensable engines and a middleware for anything you can imagine makes game development easier than ever, because you don't have to make an engine from the ground up every time you want to make a game, you don't even have to keep updating an in-house engine, you can just license an existing engine with incredibly detailed documentation and support.

Lilrizky1631d ago

Tbh every resident evil (except 6 which is bloated) the first 3 uncharted games, every DMC and plenty of other AAA games are in the 8-10 mark

dcbronco1631d ago

Sony can't take them enough to complain. Good for you Sony. Fleece em.

SinisterKieran1631d ago

this is probably the 1st time i've ever seen a review take price into account.

Silly gameAr1631d ago (Edited 1631d ago )

You ever heard of firstpost.com? Literarily the first time I've ever heard of the site on N4G, and I've been here for years.

If this site is going to complain about price for how long the game is, they had better do that for every single game they review from here on out.

lukasmain1631d ago (Edited 1631d ago )

LOL they're not even on opencritic.com let alone metacritic.

They are no name loser looking to cash in

LOL in the first sentence there is bad english.

"The first time I even heard" LMAO

nirwanda1631d ago

Price is often taken into account, do you think alot of low budget indie games could compete score wise with a $100,000,000 game on an even level.
Trust me if untitled goose was $70 it wouldn't be in a game of the year conversation.

Personally I think they should mention collectors edition in reviews to point out what your investing the extra money in.

IanTH1631d ago (Edited 1631d ago )

I think it should be brought up in the review for sure, but I don't think it should count towards the scoring. If a game is overpriced, it doesn't automatically become better once it goes on sale. It becomes a better value, certainly, but not a better game.

Gameseeker_Frampt1631d ago

You must be new to gaming since The Order: 1886 was ripped apart for being a $60 game with only 6 hours of content.

Hellcat20201631d ago

GTFO it was no damn secret is wasn't a full games length as first one.
Plus he played ps4 version

King_Noctis1631d ago

He was talking about the price vs the length of the game.

Hellcat20201631d ago

Dude obviously gave it a bad review because he didn't get a ps5 and a ps5 version of Miles Morales

Battlestar231631d ago

Finally a review that mentions how short it is. Should of just been DLC for the first game and put the resources towards the 2nd one.

Jericho13371631d ago

You can't really blame Sony for releasing it as a standalone expansion. AAA launch titles are usually rushed or delayed (see Halo Infinite) so it makes sense to release a game of this nature at launch. Plus... it's Spiderman, people are going to buy it no matter what. As long as people are aware of what it isn't (a sequel) then there's no problems.

P_Bomb1631d ago

First game already had DLC. It’s a different character and wound up AAA. Seen it before in Lost Legacy, Ground Zeroes, Halo 3: ODST.

purple1011631d ago

There was already 3 dlcs for the first that they sold at 9.99 for the trio.

This is half a game again. So bit more than dlc.

lukasmain1631d ago

* finally a review that's not on opencritic or metacritc that matches up with your opinion on something you haven't played

BrainSyphoned1631d ago (Edited 1631d ago )

Full price? Uh if you get it without the ps4 game included it is $50 bucks. Games this gen are $70. Last I checked $50 is $20 less than $70. Now if you want the ultimate edition with the upgraded Spider-Man it is 70---
20 for Peter Parker 50 for Miles Morales.

If we are talking the PS4 version it is $50. Games last gen were $60. Last I checked $50 is $10 less than $60. Also known as 2 out of 2 selling at Not Full Price.

Guyfamily9991631d ago

83% the price for a game that's half as long and re-uses the open world from the last game. Should've been 40 or even 30. The Lost Legacy, which people love to compare this too, was a totally new adventure, close to as long as UC4, and yet 40 bucks.

Not trying to be a hater, I'll actually be playing MM becuase I'm excited for it, but this isn't a very fair/pro consumer price point for what the game is.

RazzerRedux1631d ago (Edited 1631d ago )

"The Lost Legacy, which people love to compare this too, was a totally new adventure, close to as long as UC4, and yet 40 bucks."

Not true. TLL was 7 hours compared to UC4's 15 hours. And prices have shifted this gen as BrainSyphoned pointed out so this game is very much in line with TLL.

That is the ultimate judge on whether a product is being sold at the correct price point: will they buy it? Hate or not, but you can't blame someone else if you are going to purchase a product that you think costs too much.

Finished all three already.. how about something new??

jznrpg160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

SpiderMan 2 came out last year. You expect Insomniac to pump out games every year ?

Lexreborn2160d ago

Insomniac released ratchet in 2021, Spider-Man in 2023 and people would still say they aren’t releasing enough games. It’s insane the expectations people have just because things are delivered so easily to them. No balance

Cacabunga160d ago

No idea why you people are so square.. it’s not Insomniac who released the Pro it’s sony .. if Sony want people to buy the console they need to show new games. Enhancements of existing games is a given thing everyone would expect

Babadook7160d ago

@jznrpg @Cacabunga

You both bring up good points. However, slow game releases are a natural result of increased hardware capabilities. We've seen this happen more each gen.

Cacabunga160d ago

@baba

I do not agree.. Sony is playing lazy and spilling money into gaas because there is no competition.. competition last two gens is what made Sony step it up the way they did.

Babadook7160d ago

@Cacabunga

Ok. What do you disagree with? What you said is plausible to a degree yet not mutually exclusive to what I said. Need clarification

just_looken271d ago

spiderman 2 $40 from $70 so it's priced right now as a expansion pack like MM.,

andy85271d ago

Pretty decent expansion pack then saying i got 30-40 hours out if it.

just_looken271d ago

I can get 30hours out of a job outside does not mean it was good.

But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.

I am so glad today's "gamer" was not around for the ps3/360 era these new gamers are way to easy to please and have killed gaming.

andy85271d ago

It was good though. Are you actually saying it wasn't a good game? And blind? The person you play as was deaf and it was 10 mins not 5 hours. Doesn't seem like you've even played it by that comment. And MJ was...30 mins at most? Not sure how you get 40 mins into 17 hours exactly

CobraKai271d ago

@just_looken

I’ve been playing since the Sega Master System. I love Spiderman 2. There’s too much going for it to be a simple expansion pack. I felt Miles Morales could fall into the expansion pack range.

If you didn’t like it, it’s fine. That’s what’s great about opinions, there are no wrong ones, just different ones.

StormSnooper270d ago

You guys have to understand, they don’t have anything even close to it on his preferred system. There is a whole psychology behind his comment.

pwnmaster3000271d ago (Edited 271d ago )

lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.

Please don’t try to represent us gamers from that time. You are not a good example, always complaining and being negative lol.

CobraKai271d ago

@just
I mean, it’s New York. You can’t exactly change the map.

It sounds like you’re hard to please vs gamers being easy to please. You mentioned great games. Games whose sequels had very similar gameplay with each other with very minimal changes or upgrades.

Im with pwnmaster. Don’t speak for us. It sounds like probably only started gaming from PS360 era.

Rebel_Scum271d ago

Peter Parker lives in New York, where else do you expect the map to be?

Using the same map/location is not a problem.

On topic: In my region the base game is $80. Still not low enough for me to dive in. Not that Im in a rush. Havent even finished the 1st one’s dlc yet.

just_looken271d ago

The map still has asset's buildings the the first game its like madden yeah same stadium but can you change that madden 14 logo?

Not to mention they never added shield basses basically unique interiors you can explore off missions or add in jersey.

pwnmaster3000271d ago

Sony pony??
Are you a child? Lmao

Just stop man. It’s embarrassing.
We can like games and not be a fanboy.
Gaming shouldn’t be taken this serious. Relax lol

You come at me calling me a bad example talking like this game is gods gift to us and on any sony article you defend them no matter what.

But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.

pwnmaster3000271d ago (Edited 271d ago )

Lmao gods gift to us what. I said it would have been a massive hit not a perfect game. It’s a good game get over it.

And this is why I said what I said.
“ But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.”

And you’re still proving me right. God forbid people like a certain game.
And BS about me on every sony article defending them. I like games and praised every games I

“ But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.”

Your opinions are not facts and the fact you think they are is sad. Step off video games for awhile.

just_looken271d ago

Na its fine you go ahead belive 200 million dollars makes sense for 1 game when 80 created a trilogy on 360.

I live without blinders unlike others.

Definitely more than an expansion pack... the Miles Morales game from 2020 is that... ya silly goose

The 5 best games on PlayStation Plus Premium that make subscribing worth it

The PS5 is an incredible console, and if you're lucky enough to have one, or have just received one for Christmas then you'll already know there is a host of great games out there.

What you may not be aware of is that if you subscribe to PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium, you'll actually get access to a huge catalogue of titles to play at any time. Many of which you can stream without having to do any downloads. If you have a PlayStation Portal you could even play these titles from your bed.

Damn the only one I’ve played so far is Miles Morales, although I do own Control and Rift Apart.

ChasterMies476d ago

Odd list. Where is Horizon Forbidden West? Ghost of Tsushima? Demon’s Souls? Returnal? And fun indie games like Superliminal? Where’s “A Plage Tale Requiem” and “Evil West”, the current PS+ Essential offerings?

Exvalos464d ago

Evil west is underrated I'm having a really good time playing it.

juniorpop476d ago

Like seriously? Those are games Extra Tier can get - so not worth upgrading to Premium
