In case you missed the small-print, that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 debut trailer featured “footage captured on [a] PS5” – which is pretty impressive, to say the least. But just in case there were any doubts, Insomniac Games’ lead VFX artist Bryanna Lindsey has confirmed that the clip was captured in real-time on Sony’s new system.
“The team did a killer job,” she wrote, in response to a Twitter video comparing the sequel with Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales’ CG commercial. “Real-time VFX are difficult but I'm so proud of our whole team for pushing our quality bar.” With two more years to work on this, we’re expecting a sumptuous sensory feast when it swings by in 2023.

You can actually see a slight "in-game" look on the trailer. There is just something that makes it look CGI but at the same time not CGI.
Super impressive stuff, can't wait to see how the real game will be! SO HAPPY it's PS5 exclusive alongside Wolverine
Just happy that the new Spidersuit got a texture change instead of that orange look it had to it.
@AFCC I agree with you, very impressive graphics, but not quite there just yet for the full-on CG look. Digital Foundry mentioned in their review of the Sony presentation that the smoke coming from the grates in the street isn't reflected in the puddles.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have the catalyst for PuddleGate 2.0. Let the internet whining begin (God I hope I'm wrong...)
I wish we had one more big Sony title for November to pad out the overall releases. It feels like it is going to take forever to get to February.
Abandoned did it first.
The game can looks like that if it's exclusively made for ps5 😃
remember yall , 2023...
they should save anymore news for when the game is at least half way close to release
What no smoke reflections in the puddles? Thats it no day 1 purchase for me..meh..pffttt..wait for a sale etc...sony suck..worst ever platform in the history of everything EVER...just kidding folks..looks really good 🤘
@Turismo4GT
Indeed the trailer looks incredible. Digital Foundry fell to a new low trying to spin a negative on everything at the show case 🤷🏼♂️
Sometimes contradicting themselves or even some non sense. Like they watched a different thing.
It’s not people to blame for negativity. It’s more due to the ‘influencers’ who then blame the public.
I just hope they add a day and night circle instead of tieing it to missions.
@Turismo4GT They could still pull a Ratchet and Clank - in Rift Apart’s trailer rifts weren’t reflected in puddles but they were in the final game. And then they improved the reflections’ resolution in day 1 patch.
@Turismo4GT Digital Foundry are a joke
@JJ2 that's smug git scarface for ya.
He's such a tosser.
Well, they've set the expectations...now they have to pull it off with more than 3 characters on screen. Be a marvel if it actually comes out looking like this. Hope it does as it would be a noticeable step up from pro visuals I've yet to really see on my ps5
Insomniac Games, take a bow. You guys are the best.
As much as I loved the Insomniac Suit from the start I gotta say I'm really glad they've darkened the colours on it. It looks way better here the colours were too light before
@uptownsoul Yet, all these games released Oct on in their respective years, Gran Turismo Sport, Death Stranding, Demon Souls, Spider-Man MM in just the past few years… and that’s the few I could remember.
I mean, obviously. Anyone paying attention to the puddles should've known it was real time.
@uptownsoul miles morales and demon souls?
Got to admit when I first saw the traffic light with the electricity arcing, I thought for a brief moment Cole might be back....
@Dan_ozzzy189
I wouldn’t go with basic insults but I feel Digital Foundry dramatically changed since Alex got in the team.
@Turismo4GT Im so dissapointed in people thats what we are looking for now what a joke. I was amazed how great it looked.
@JJ2 If you look at games like this could you have fun playing games its a mystery to me. And here i am playing games on a base PS4 and still amazed how good games can look on a base PS4.
@Flaming_Kaiser
Hi man.
I’m not completely sure what your trying to tell me but I think I agree. Personally I moved to a huge tv screen compared to the one I still have with the PS4 and I definitely need the PS5 power for it.
But yea, it’s mainly the general wow factor you get and that doesn’t mean this or that detail is always more important. It depends on the games and art style I suppose.
@AFCC Same, my biggest worry regarding this game was LITERALLY that it was gonna be cross gen
@JJ2 The mentioning of the puddle not reflecting smoke was quite matter of fact. That can be taken as a good thing since it proves the trailer was running real time. I didn't get the impression that it was negative spin at all. It wasn't like when they were all clearly upset about the Project Eve main character design.
@Orpheus79V
I don’t know. Just ‘it looks good’ isn’t an ‘analysis’ so to speak. Anyone could say that. I do like facts. To go on to stress the limited aspect of RT in insomniac games is a very selective way to underline the trailer ‘facts’. There was so much to say and a different tone to stress.
But ok I know. It’s how you feel it and understand the guy. He is very consistent in his ‘focus’ over time. I just see through the general narrative bs. It’s ‘somewhat’ subtle on a case by case basis but not so subtle over time. That’s my perception and the facts I see. Other people have different perception and don’t see those facts. It’s fine man. Everyone is human and has different perception and sensibilities.
Edit
About Project Eve
I don’t understand the negativity at all. Even if it’s fake virtue signalling neo puritanism or whatever there is absolutely no way to deny it looked incredible too.
@Turismo4GT Lmao I loved puddlegate. Hope it happens again #smokudllegate
@JJ2 Im a little older im more looking for the fun the graphics are already great for me on a PS4 im sure i will be blown away by the PS5. The funny part i buy some 2d indie game and can have a blast just as much as 100 million game with the most fantastic graphics. I just finished Matterfall took me 2 days to finish the final boss and then the master difficulty unlocked and i said ***** it im done. I had a blast and its done i dont need that Platinum.
@Flaming_Kaiser
Hey I’m an old fart though haha
Nice to hear. I’m nearly done with DS3 with DLC. Couple of optional bosses I tell myself I will let live in my adventure cuz they look cool. (Although in reality it’s because they kick my ass)
What a journey that was.
Very impressive! 2023 can't get here soon enough.
@JJ2 Matterfall from the makers of Returnal they really love to punish the players. The last trophies go through the levels as fast as possible with one hit deaths insane after looking how much effort it took me to beat the levels on Veteran and thats without the pain of the bosses. 🤪
And i agree some things are so hard the take away all the fun and make you hate the game. Sometimes its better to leave it alone for your sanity. The last boss on matterfall i started at 12:00 and i finished at 22:00 in the evening after i tried the day before giving in. I had to go outside because my eyes where hurting in the end. 😅
