I loved the first spider-man and then miles morales! It’s rare I actually complete a game but I did complete both of these. Just went onto ps5 store to buy the new one….£70? Wtf….didn’t get it in the end :(

The prices of some these games are so expensive now.

Got my copy for £57, completed it in 3 days and sold it to CEX for £47. Good value for 3 days entertainment.

Got a new Samsung oled TV. 120hz, VRR etc.

I'm struggling to figure out the options to play at 40fps.

Can someone tell me the visual settings or post a picture of theirs?

From what I remember, there isn’t an actual mode labelled 40fps, you just need to have that 120hz mode set to auto, along with fidelity mode with VRR, I used the smoothed setting as well.

Thanks. I did that but the FPs in the Samsung game mode shows well over 40fps. More than double in fact.

Is it something simple like it's showing me double FPS due to 120hz mode? Same with the 30fps fixed mode. The Samsung software shows 60 but I know it's 30 from the gameplay!

If you use 40fps VRR mode unlocked, as I assume that's what's happening in your case, the framerate will go above 40fps depending on the scenario and your screen will sync the refresh rate to it. Try to move around with the fps counter and see if it fluctuates.

With a locked 40fps mode, a TV's fps counter might just show constant 120fps, haven't checked fps stuff in a while so not sure but it makes sense.

I have LG CX and mine fluctuates around 120 according to my lg cx info panel, its all quiet confusing really. never fully understood it all myself. Rest assured as long as you are in fidelity, unlocked or smoothed VRR and 120hz auto checked you are good.

I've been entirely swallowed up by this over the past few weeks, I was expecting to breeze through the main campaign and dip into the odd side quest but it's exquisitely tapped into the very worst of my completionist tendancies. I think I'm at least ten hours in and only about a third of the way through the campaign.
None of it has felt like a grind though, not even the travel (which is what tends to make me hate open world games).
We're 3 years into the PS5 cycle, and I'm slightly concerned it's peaked with this already. Hard to see how Sony can top it tbh.

Played a couple of hours so far.

In the existing game save changing the time of day is the main new addition. 6 different times. Night mode is best, obviously.

You can replay the missions in your existing save but as I'm doing the NG+ I will get to do the missions again anyway.

Played an hour of NG+, pretty easy with the upgrades from th 1st play through. I want to unlock the extra suits mainly.

I really need to buy this over the next few weeks and to play it before the end of my summer break. It’s probably the biggest left on my list of summer games to play.

Spider-Man 2 is latest PlayStation exclusive coming to PC

Swingin in early next year.
www.theverge.com www.theverge.com

TLDR: releasing on PC in Jan AND “we have no additional story content planned for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2”

Massive fail.

The "new content" will be the Venom game next year. But rather than sell it as a DLC for Spider-man 2 they are marketing it as a standalone title. More £££ that way for Sony.

Is the Venom game actually confirmed for 2025 or is it just info from the leaks?

I like the Spiderman games so much I will happily pay full price for another one next year tbh. I still reserve the right to moan about lack of updates for SM2 though :p

Just from the leaks, but they are accurate. It'll be Q3 next year most likely.

Well, the leaks said we would get SM2 DLC as well :D

The leaks made them change various plans, so until they announce it properly, the next game is officially Wolverine!

No way Wolverine will be the next game. It was even more impacted by the leaks … it’s comfortably 2 years out. Sony has confirmed Venom is coming, and the assets are already in place ( they were used in SM2 )
