Good golly gosh, Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered looks unreal in these newly released PS5 screenshots. The original game already looked great on PS4, but the power of Sony's next-gen console is clearly going to have a noticeable effect on Spidey's adventure.
Oh, and Peter Parker has a new face. Like, a totally new face. Developer Insomniac already said that it would be using an updated model for the protagonist on PS5, but we didn't realise it meant that he would look like a completely different person.
This is how remastered Spidey looks underneath the mask:
"In order to bring the best performances to players with our next-generation Marvel’s Spider-Man games, we have recast the face of Peter Parker. We loved working with John Bubniak on the original game; however, to get a better match to Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal’s facial capture, we have cast Ben Jordan to be the face model for Peter Parker on the PS5 console. He looks incredible in-game, and Yuri’s moving performances take on a new life," Insomniac writes on the PlayStation Blog.
And yes, that is The Amazing Suit. It's one of three new suits added in the remaster.
Anyway, it looks damn good doesn't it? The developer goes into some additional detail: "Beyond improved models and materials, one of the biggest things we have brought to the game is ray-traced reflections and ambient shadows. We now have true reflections on the windows of buildings, and it looks stunning with our new skies and weather."

Why does the TASM1 suit look better in this game than it does in the actual movie lmao
Also yeah that new Peter Parker certainly doesn't look like he's been Spider-Man for 7-8 years that's for sure
He looks like he woke up at 4:30 in the morning to catch the morning train to his university campus
I like peter face on spider-man ps4, this new face looks too young, it's like playing as different person.
Not buying it again, not when they competition and even companies like Ubisoft are doing free upgrades.
Hmmm...I might upgrade to special edition and play this over...Looks really nice, can't wait to see some gameplay.
Not really a fan of the new face, it’s just a bit weird and wrong. A real shame for the original actor.
Not sure I like this honestly... I'm sure I'll get used to it, but did the old face model really not work? Plenty of games have performance capture where the actor doesn't look like the character.
It looks amazing and can see why this isn't a free upgrade, its not just a resolution bump and framerate unlock like most will be. That said there should be an option for owners of the original game or be able to buy it separately
the new face is much more suited to Peter, not that I disliked the original, but it always felt like he wasn't very Peter. already pre-ordered and can't wait for my second playthrough.
They made him look more like Tom Holland, makes sense but kinda odd. The original is based on the voice actor/mocapper.
Strange decision, but I DON'T the new face.
That new face makes him look 15
Great, now he has the same punchable face as Tom Holland.
Woah
I'm impressed there. Not a fan of remaster but this looks legit.
I thought this was an "experienced" Spider-Man. Now he looks the same age as Miles.
@oldschool1987 That’s an unfair comparison to Ubisoft’s upgrade.
Their free upgrades are nothing more than a resolution and frame bump, which is nothing like the effort put into a full remaster like what’s on display here.
“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 the distance, optional performance mode for a targeted 60fps framerate, near-instant loading 3D audio, Dualsense haptic feedback, three new suits, new photo mode, and all new trophies”.
If Ubisoft’s next-gen upgrade was anything remotely similar to this kind of effort, they would deserve compensation as well. All they are doing is porting the exact same game over to next-gen with higher framerate and resolution from the hardware upgrade. It’s a silly comparison to make.
Raging having to pay again but in a way looking forward to it
I don’t know why I feel insulted and pissed at the change of the face lol.
I liked the OG PS4 version better.
So the original game was what, not what they wanted or something? Is this Star Wars or Spiderman?
@deathaxe
SPOILER ALERT!
@DeepSpace5D Many cross gen titles(including Ubisoft's) will in fact be getting upgraded textures and ray-tracing so you are very incorrect. This should 100% be a free upgrade for the backwards compatibility version of the PS4 game. If you think this is worth paying for again, you are just the kind of sucker these companies love.
At least now they can sort them puddles out #puddlegate
@710King This is way beyond some new textures only the face alone shows that.
Release a physical copy and ill get it day one.
@Flaming_Kaiser "Way beyond", got another sucker for you Sony.
@710King As you can read from Insomniac themselves, this remaster goes beyond just ray-tracing. If you want to willfully ignore the list of enhancements done to this remaster, feel free to carry on.
If Ubisoft is offering ray-tracing enhancements for free on next-gen I applaud that effort. I have seen no statement from Ubisoft where they stated that though. You have a link for that?
@DeepSpace5D OK, I'll use the Cyberpunk upgrade then, you buy the PS4 version then next year you'll get a free massive next gen update that makes it PS5 native.
They should offer the next gen upgrade for £20 at least, instead of making you have to buy Miles Morales for it.
I'm sure Gears 5 is also getting a free next gen patch? Could be wrong on that though, didn't look into it.
@DeepSpace5D I'm sorry that you don't understand when you are being tricked.
Here you go: https://support.ubisoft.com/en-US/faqs/55850
PS4/XB1 versions of their games do not support ray tracing but the PS5/XSX versions do. The next gen versions also have different textures, more detail, more "clutter", and reworked shadows and lighting.
@oldschool1987 That’s awesome, has CDProjekt listed the enhancements that will be made to the PS5 version? I can’t wait for Cyberpunk myself.
As we know about them as a studio, they are one of the most consumer friendly around, and make it a point to almost go against the industry norm and it has worked for them really well. I think they are just very different than Ubisoft lol.
But I agree totally with other point, Spiderman on PS5 should be offered as a standalone, not just attached to Miles Morales. It should be standalone for $20 on the PSN store and it would probably do really well.
@710king I don’t see any mention of what the next gen enhancements are when following that link. All it says is how the upgrade works. Which area are you seeing the mention of ray-tracing and those features?
I don’t feel tricked in the slightest if I feel that devs have put effort into something. You can keep continuing to ignore the other further enhancements done to the Spiderman remaster. There’s enhanced animations, better draw distance, elimination of the subway fast travel. The additional suits, new photo mode, and additional trophies, I’ve seen DLC for other games on the PSN store that costs as much for those features alone.
Ah cool, things no one wanted or asked for.
@DeepSpace5D I'm not sure of the exact upgrades tbh pal, I'll quote the tweet about it for you:
"A later upgrade to Cyberpunk 2077, taking full advantage of the next-gen hardware, will be available for free."
I'd support an upgrade fee, I just don't like that it's locked behind a game. I'm sure they'll sell it seperate after a while.
You manage to secure your PS5 pre order?
The face is a bit of a shock but if it allows them to better portray Yuri's performance (which is great) I look forward to seeing it in motion. I think most of the other parts matched the voice actors already, except MJ. I wonder if they have made any changes to her face?
@oldschool1987 I have no doubt the Cyberpunk next-gen patch will look amazing, that’s just how awesome they are. Sadly, I don’t think there’s a release date for it yet, but hopefully it comes out in 2021.
Sadly no bro, I was able to get a PS5 bundle in a cart on Gamestop, but it was unavailable at checkout. Any luck with you?
@DeepSpace5D sorry to hear that, man. That sucks, hopefully you manage to get one soon after!
Yeah I was lucky enough to get one, was a ballache though lol
Wow, the new face is awful. Definitely not a fan.
Apparently they've made more improvements since taking these shots too.

nah, the original was fine and im not buying the excuse quoted here,
"In order to bring the best performances to players with our next-generation Marvel’s Spider-Man games, we have recast the face of Peter Parker."
could of just brought the same guy back again for a rescan or something but they just dont want to pay royalties plain and simple.
