    Update!
    I spoke with John from DF regarding the LOD having been reduced, and this appears to be a bug. I still have to test this but supposedly this might be related to having the game installed on a secondary m.2 instead of the default storage on PS5. If so, I'll forward this info to insomniac for a possible fix.
    Good morning everyone! Glad to finally get this video out - I've been sick the past 3 weeks now which has made it difficult to record my voice and concentrate on editing. The game is fantastic and was a nice distraction. This was also an interesting video to put together. I've got hundreds of clips recorded here that I couldn't fit in, so there's a lot more to see! Stay tuned for more content in the near future :)

    You probably get this a lot but I really appreciate the professionalism and attention-to-detail as you meticulously go through everything the game has to offer. Just a question from me as this is a little concern I had with the game - how did you find the overall pacing and length of the narrative, did it feel rushed or was there enough time to explore the content of the plot?

    • @Nick930
      @Nick930  7 місяців тому +126

      Pacing and narrative felt great. I never felt bored with the story but also felt like I was given plenty of opportunities to screw around and explore New York between missions without it feeling out of place. It's overall very well done. I think the story plays it safe, as did the first game (probably because they're limited in what they're actually allowed to do with licensed characters like this), but it's way better than most of the marvel movies lately.

    • @SILK97

    • @vividmusic473
      @vividmusic473 7 місяців тому +5

      @@SILK97 For me personally it came from the knowledge of the length of the game. I heard the game was around 15-20 hours to beat which is on it's own not a bad thing and is similar to the length of the first game. However, this game seems significantly bigger than the first game with the amount of plot points and characters it has introduced and continnued from the first game - therefore, I thought trying to fit more into the same amount of time might lead to the game feeling rushed to an extent.

      @thejesse 7 місяців тому +1

      Insomniac Games uses a system of ray-tracing fake rooms that are buried underground in the city. This is to make sure they’re nearby to be called when needed. Each fake room has a basic layout and then different variations on furniture and characters.
      When Spider-Man looks into a window, the game uses the ID of that window to randomly select one of the fake rooms to render. The game also casts rays back through the window to get a sense of the key light and shadows, which are then used to light the fake room. This system allows Insomniac to create realistic interior reflections, even for windows that are side-by-side. It also allows them to add details like animated ceiling fans and NPCs watching TV.
      This is pretty cool and very smart because it helps the game load faster. The fake rooms are located underground in the city to save performance. The game only needs to render the fake rooms once, and then it can use them for all of the windows in the city. The rooms are not as detailed as the game world, but they are still good enough to create convincing reflections.

    They changed the anisotropy on the default suit to be more like the pre-release suit from the first game. The anisotropy made more sense on that pre-release suit because of the ridged texture pattern of the material. When they changed the pattern to hex shapes, the specular highlights bent in multiple directions, resulting in the more even lighting we saw in the release version of the default suit from the first game. I guess they just decided they preferred a silkier shine on top of the hex pattern this time around.

    Great side-by-side comparison, Nick, you covered almost everything.
    Insomniac did a fantastic job with Spider-Man 2, not only improving the general visuals (Ray Tracing in all modes) but also keeping the revisit of New York interesting thanks to culling the more boring aspects (like car chases or obligatory random encounters) and adding new features, both in combat but even more so in traversal. When you experience the full powered web suit for the first time it's almost breathtaking at which speed you rush across New York while the engine keeps up those FPS. Sure it costs a bit of detail in far off LOD, but thanks to the more detailed surrounding area on the other side of the Hudson the overall impression is a better one. So far I'm enjoying every moment of it despite having played the previous games twice on PS5 and later on PC. Don't forget to just walk around on ground level, the new overall density feels much more like a vivid metropolis!

    I finished the game, did all the side quests, unlocked all the upgrades, and I'm overall very satisfied with the game. The series is starting to feel a bit formulaic now, but it's still a lot of fun. I look forward to where the series will take us in future installments. I just hope they don't go the multiverse route. We've been getting plenty of that with No Way Home and the Spider-Verse movies. There's plenty more you can do in THIS universe without having to resort to travelling through the multiverse. It seems like the Green Goblin will likely be a big antagonist of the next game. Maybe he'll even merge with the red symbiote and become the Red Goblin.

    • @GHTakerz
      @GHTakerz 7 місяців тому +1

      The area on the other side of the bridge (Brooklyn) isn't playable/accessible in Spiderman 1, so they were able to use a rough/low quality model of the entire area that just needs to look okay from far. In Spiderman 2 they made a small part of it playable, but obviously not all of it. So they probably had to remove the non-playable areas to avoid having to add 'invisible' walls and so you can't see the low-quality models up close when crossing the water. It's the same reason why most open world maps are on islands (i.e. GTA 5)

      It's also the reason why they didn't have all of Manhattan.
