Spider-Man 2 is The Fastest-Selling Game in PlayStation History
Sony managed to sell more than two and a half million copies of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in one day. Make it as the company highest-selling PlayStation
I hope this one also gets ported to pc. I loved the first one.
17They make more money by porting it to PC after a couple years rather than keeping it exclusive forever.
11Yup, I don't feel like paying $500 just to play one game, as good as it is. I could pick up a used PS5 and then sell it when I'm done, but that's a much bigger pain than just buying it on steam.

Man I love this game but I can feel the story wrapping up and I'm already dreading ending it. Gina probably put it down at the end and wait for a Ng+ update. This game has been bananas fun
8I think it's probably the most unashamedly enjoyable game I've played in a long time.
2The story goes on a bit longer than I was expecting as I was playing through it, and it definitely gets more and more epic as you ramp towards its conclusion. It will let you know when you are starting the final mission too, to give you time to do other stuff if you want before wrapping it all up.
Also, if you are a fan of the comics I highly recommend playing through the flame side quests. Probably the thing that has me most excited for DLC or the next game.
2Just finished that! Big fan of the comics (maybe too much) so I thought the twist was predictable - but the characterization was perfect. Reminded me of Alan Tudyk. Even the character model. I have high hopes.

Story wise - MJ just... Screamed. So I feel pretty close to the end. Thinking I'll wrap up the sandman and last faction stuff. Then swing into the sunset/last missions

How does it differ from the first and MM?
Ive been avoiding the marketing (I'm on PC so it will be a while before I get to play it) but I'm really curious on the improvements they've made, aside from having both Pete and Miles playable.
1It feels very similar, gameplay-wise. Traversal is still super engaging and fun, the combat is pretty fluid (it starts out kinda rough until you upgrade your skills), and visually it's amazing. If you liked either of the previous games, you'll like this one. It hits all the same notes, plus some new ones.
As for differences, there aren't many. You can fly/glide now, you can switch between Spider Men, there's some new gadgets, some new skills to compliment the old ones, etc.
There's a lot of low-key flexes the devs snuck in that you might not even notice while you're playing, which just goes to show exactly how well they've optimized the game. Things like full-city zooms with no pop-in, extreme close-ups, etc.
2It looks amazing. Especially the later half of the game. There were a few fights in particular where it felt like playing a stop motion animated film with the way the enemy model moved and blended with the environment. Very cool.
The story is MUCH more interesting and engaging than the previous games. It helps that they are arguably using some of the most interesting story beats from the comics, but the main questline is excellent.
Because of the next gen tech, the epic moments in the game are able to be much bigger and epic in scale and some of the little cinematic touches.
So the open world gameplay hasn't evolved much outside of better scene density and a bit more refined a combat system with core powers/gadgets rather than switching around a lot.
But the main questline experience is a huge, huge step up from previous games, and well worth the price of admission alone.
