Video: Spider-Man 2 Is a Big Graphical Upgrade in Side-by-Side Comparison

With greater graphics comes a greater game

amazing

[Cacabunga]

I just remember them say Spider-Man remaster was taking full advantage of ps5 capabilities.. now i don’t know what to think when i see this side by side..

[Eonjay]

It's called optimization. Your code may be using the full power of the system is not the same as saying your code is fully optimizing the power of the system.

[BlackTar187]

It’s not that difficult Jesus

[jznrpg]

They all look pretty damn good considering the age of the first couple games but you can see the progression from one game to the next and SM2 really looks like a big jump.

[raWfodog]

That’s the advantage of only having to develop for the PS5. But I’m guessing that it was a difficult business decision to exclude the PS4 this time. But they are trying to give PS4-only owners some good reasons to upgrade to PS5 (FFXVI, SM2, FFVII:Rebirth).

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I agree, they all look pretty good, and you can see the progression, Spiderman 2 looks fantastic.

@raWfodog,

I'm still hanging onto my PS4, they really need to ditch it to convince people to upgrade.

[S2Killinit]

Wow upgrade on a already amazing looking game. Gotta love Playstation.

[itsmebryan]

Now the graphics looks closer to my PC Spiderman but, I wonder if can keep up with the PCs frame rate?

Have they said when Spiderman 2 is coming to PC? It should really look great and I can't wait.

[BehindTheRows]

"Closer to my PC Spider-Man". I have it on PC. SM2 looks better in all ways.

[darthv72]

You should start hearing something in about 6-8 months.

[Chocoburger]

Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales look good, but are developed with PS4 hardware in mind and it shows that clearly in the video. There is a huge leap with Spider-Man 2 when its not held back by last generation hardware. Insomniac have done an amazing job with this one.

Now I'm thinking about how they further optimize their game engine for their upcoming Wolverine game. Sheesh, I'm excited to see some gameplay of it in the future!

[Soulsborne]

Want to see them tackle a new IP after Wolverine, Insomniac are LVL 99 wizards.

[Crows90]

Yeah. It would be interesting to seem however, I'd say to let them do whatever they want in terms of their games. They seem to know what they're good at.

[Hereandthere]

The best looking console game by far ever.

[porkChop]

Makes sense. It was developed around the PS5 hardware rather than the PS4. That opens up a lot of new possibilities.

[derek]

I'm about 7 hours in but Spiderman 2 is a fantastic game, by far the best game insomniac has ever made.

[Knightofelemia]

They all look great whether on the PS4, PC, or PS5 Insomniac is a great studio. And I can't wait for them to work their magic on Wolverine.

[Fonsecap]

PlayStation has the advantage not to concern themselves with a lower tear console like ms has with the series s, that is one of the reasons why ms is not delivering good 1st party games, I think Starfield and Forza could be much much better if the series s didn't exist. But yeah the ps exclusives are looking better and better , I could only imagine how Ragnarok could look if it was exclusive to the ps5, don't get me wrong Gow looks amazing even the 2018 one, but I think it could look much better if it was only next gen. Can't wait for the wolverine.

[Reaper22_]

Looks about the same graphically. Just with more and brighter colors.

[BehindTheRows]

"Looks about the same graphically"

-cue laughing out loud gif.

[Ryuk_2007]

How about they do a comparison without telling you which game it is b/c they all look pretty dang similar. It doesn't look better than horizon 2 and that was a cross gen game.

[BehindTheRows]

You mean where they show which game is which at the top right?

As for looking better than Horizon 2 — who cares? Two totally different games and Spider-Man 2 has way more going on.

[repsahj]

I love these three games! And Spidey-Man 2 is my new fave!

[Charlieboy333]

Can you believe that I actually read a comment by one of the jealous bitter greenies stating that Spider-Man 2 graphics are just copy/paste with a different 'filter'.

That is the extent of the utter denial and delusion these rejects have had to condition themselves with in order to make it through their day.
