Why are people questioning if the trailer was in game or not.
After games like Infamous SS, Witcher3, MGSV, I expect even better graphics than what we have seen in the trailer once the game is released

I'm more concerned of what it'll look like while swinging in the city proper. LOD is going to be a bitch. Top speed you can reach might not be very fast just so they can stream assets in. That would be my biggest fear. Hell, you could go so fast in Spider-Man 2, you could hit a part of the city the PS2 hadn't even streamed in yet.
Probably been addressed, but why is Spiderman accelerating in mid-air?
You can see in the gif that he webs the top of the window, then pulls himself through it. In higher resolution video, you can see the webs.

If you think about it real quick, I'm sure you can realize why.

in my opinion , Spiderman one of the best E3 games , I think this game will gonna be the best Marvel's game ever .

We redid the whole engine from scratch for Fuse. That engine was used for Sunset Overdrive, Ratchet & Clank, our VR games, and now this

Not really a high bar.
Man that engine has some nice flexibility.

I can imagine Activision executives considered the partnership with Marvel not much further than a fail-safe investment.

Looks like the game has been in development/plans for a long time. Brandon Winfrey (used to work at Insomniac, the Sunset tv guy) talks about it during this video. He mentions that's how he got his first writing gig, making a test scene for it a long time ago.

"This is like a more mature Spider-man" Though he followed by comparing to a 15 year old.

Mhhhhh I cant wait. Ratchet already looks amazing on my console
KingV the bits in the trailer look like gameplay.
Maybe jstevenson can confirm?
Looks fantastic. Ratchet is damned gorgeous. Now if only you guys would remaster A Crack in Time after finishing Spider-Man...and the Resistance Trilogy...*cries*
I hope that means the game will be good to launch alongside Homecoming for maximum sales.
Resistance trilogy would be about as much of a waste of their talent as a Crash remaster by naughty Dog to be honest.
Thank you based god
And I thought my hype couldn't go any higher.

That's one flexible and fantastic engine.
Both SO and R&C looked and performed great.

So I've watched this trailer like 5 or 6 times now and every time I do I get more and more excited. Probably in my top 5 most anticipated games, so fucking hyped.
I think it would be really cool if they implemented the villains into not just Spiderman's problems, but Peter Parker's as well. How cool would it be if you were walking around as Peter Parker with MJ, and suddenly Goblin grabs you off the ground. My favorite part of any good Spidey story is the interplay between Peter Parker's own life and selfish mean and the greater thing he stands for.
Why? The Resistance games are awesome, and a lot of PS4 owners never played them. It'd probably be someone like Bluepoint who'd do the remasters anyway. Ditto for the Crash remaster. But if Insomniac's schedule frees up after Spider-Man, I can't see why they couldn't do an in house remaster if they wanted. I think they have plenty on their plate for the foreseeable future, however.

Who knows what kind of deal Sony worked with Marvel once they allowed Spidey to join the MCU. Perhaps they worked out a deal involving this game or future games.
Look at the title screen, (c) Sony Interactive Entertainment. Sony isn't stupid, it's a first-party title and they probably own the program like the Crash PSX games.
I would want that in the hands of a team that focuses on destructibility!
If (When) this game is great... I want a sequel from Insomniac.
To me, these devs are literally perfect for the job. History with some good open(ish) world games? Check. Funny and witty dialogue from the cast of characters? Check. Fantastic creativity with weapons/powers? Check. Kick ass traversal and platforming? Check.
SO EXCITED!Callibretto

Yes, it will be really terrible for Sony if this game turns out to be a huge success with one of their most trusted external partners.

Tbh, I'd rather wait on a Hulk game. We've already had a fantastic Hulk game that I don't think is getting topped anytime soon.
Plus, I want some lesser known heroes to shine.

That's pretty impressive. I'm hoping it can handle some serious traversal speed. Haven't played Ratchet & Clank but Sunset Overdrive wasn't Spidey level of fast. Hope you guys can pull it off.
I know right?
Looks like a (likely) win for all involved, but we'll see
Showed the trailer to my kids last night. Man, never hear so much wailing when I told them we wouldn't see the game until next year at best

Looking at the gifs, it's essentially that. The narrative is clearly taking a back seat when the gameplay appears to be *this* good.
I really, really want a Paladin appearance. Also,
I was just thinking the same, but more along the lines of a dialog tree when MJ asks, "Who's this?" when Felicia Hardy bumps into them.
I would also like a currency system involving strategically placing your camera before a fight to get the most money possible from the Daily Bugle or Peter can't pay rent.
Trailer and gifs pretty much made this a day 1 purchase for me no matter who's in it

I don't get the incredulous reactions. There's nothing in that trailer that's unachievable on PS4, and street density/interior detail aside, the game evokes Second Son's graphics a ton. Those particle effects, motion blur, PBR, etc. look similarly impressive to a game from 2014.
We're just so accustomed to trailers that try so hard to be "cinematic" but utterly and embarrassingly fail that a nicely composited and storyboarded trailer with actual cinematic flair ends up looking like CG
I haven't questioned it once. I know what the Ps4 is capable of and Insomniac has the talent and experience to draw that out.
I honestly think their lighting decision is what has people shook. It's aiming for that realistic look, but the lighting is evoking something of a fantasy NY. Close to what we've seen in Spider-Man movies, it looks great... and along side the fidelity of Spidey's animation is making people think CG.
If you watch reaction vids on YouTube, you can here people guessing Spider-Man before the Marvel logo even pops up. I know it has to do with rumors and whatnot, but I think it's because they nailed it.
Animation is super important for Spidey imo. He moves cooler and more graciously than any hero I know.

I think Punisher would be a good fit as a villain (or just enemy, if you prefer) for this game.
That's not really bad thing tbh. I would love this franchise to reach that success. Sony has two Spider-Man movies coming out the next few years. I think this will only help Spidey's public image.
