Sony has clarified that Insomniac’s PS5 Spider-Man game announced on Thursday is an “enhancement” of the PS4 original with a “substantial” expansion.

Announced during Sony’s PS5 reveal event on Thursday, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales was described as “a new adventure from Insomniac Games,” with little further detail offered.

However, in a new interview, The Telegraph describes Morales as “more akin to an expansion bolted on to an upgraded version of the original title.”

Sony Interactive Entertainment’s EVP head of European Business, Simon Rutter told the publication that Miles Morales would include “major enhancements” to the 2018 PS4 game.

“I guess you could call it an expansion and an enhancement to the previous game,” he said.

Triple AAA game production is so long and expensive. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to spend 3-4 years making a game and then launch it on a system that's not yet got an install base.

An example is Guerrilla Games. Moving into the PS4 generation they split their team, banged out Killzone Shadow Fall relatively quickly while simultaneously starting work on HZD, a much more ambitious game. By the time HZD launched there was probably 50m units of PS4 sold.

So at launch we'll see a lot of 18 month games, remasters/remakes, cross-gen stuff and indie rubbish.

Due to the spotlight on crunch I think dev times are only going to get longer. It'll take a while for this generation to find it's stride. The narrative is that games will be easier to make on PS5 but i'm not sold on that. It's not like PS4 was some convoluted architecture.

I really hate the look of it.

So many games said 2021, so there will be very very few launch titles of note it seems, I imagine launch will be full of redone sports titles etc.

But the release date of the console might be 2021 so they could be release titles.

Yeah, it's depending on what the launch titles are whether or not it's day one purchase or preorder .

Seems most of the time launch titles aren't great. Switch I think had Zelda so it was a great launch title to have (know it was on the Wii U).

There was 26 games shown yesterday and out of the 26 games 8 of them were exclusive.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Gran Turismo 7
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Returnal
Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Astro's Playroom
Demon's Souls
Horizon Forbidden West

I was not expecting to see that many exclusive games to be shown off , so I was very impressed.

Demons souls alongside with a bloodborne remaster announcement was on top of my wishlist.

Astro bot VR was probably the closest thing Sony had to rival Mario so I will definitely be picking up Astros Playroom when it comes out.

housemarque is an incredible development team so I am very interested in Returnal

There was alot to love about that reveal event .

Seems Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo will be timed console exclusives too

Housemarque have moved on from their arcade shooters so I hope returnal will go well for them

It comes preloaded on every ps5. It's a tech demo to show what the new controller is capable of.

Spiderman & Horizon will no doubt be good games and I'll play them eventually, but neither are really buzzing me. Found the first games very repetitive.
Returnal has me interested, looking forward to seeing more.
Ratchet & Clank looked great, I really enjoyed the PS4 game and it looked chaotic in a good way.

Overall thought it was a bit underwhelming. Don't think I'll be buying at launch at this rate.

Who the hell thought it was a good idea to open the show with the Rockstar Logo only for it to be fúcking GTA V again :pac:

I am very much interested in that Dinosaur school game, looks like a Life is Strange game which I love.

What I love about the launch of a new generation is that the quirky titles get a chance. I was really worried when they started with GTA 5 that it was going to be the PS4 with a PS5 sticker and price tag. Some of the more out there titles shown looked to have great potential. Another Horizon? Boring! Show me something new, I think they done a good job of that.

Very underwhelmed with the lineup of games they showcased.

Also some bizarre games that I really couldn't fathom being attractive to anyone got included, like that Dinosaur school game - WTF.

AFAIR launch titles are usually a collection of hastily assembled games just to have some game boxes on the shelves on day one.

It's the sort of design that would appeal to the RGB everywhere PC gamer. Doesn't appeal to me, hopefully they bring out versions with just a single tone that is not so loud. I like that they have the digital only version, haven't bought any physical media or software since the days of the PSP Go. Nice to see they are heading this way.

petes

Hope they get the launch titles right as it would be a day 1 purchase for me.

Was watching and didn't think much and then Demon Souls came up, did it for me as it's the only Souls game I haven't played.

Then Resi 8 and Horizon 2 came up and that was me :pac:

Was a few in there that were interesting.

Really liked the look of Rachet and Clank but hope it's not as busy on the screen all the time.

Biggest issue I had with yesterday was it didn't sell me on the console.

I will inevitably pick it up and was leaning on series x before the vid that's still the same. Mainly for gamepass services.

Sony need to tell fence sitters why they need to buy the console. Series X just weirdly feels like progression and I don't know why. Maybe it's the marketing with the raw power emphasis. Last night seeked like a step sideways, probably starting with gta and spidey 1.5 was the issue.

I wanted more on services, improvements to services like psnow (surely it can't stay in current format) I thought they would learn from Microsoft mistake but a few mins of ratchet and gta doesn't cut the mustard.

Can't wait to get demon souls in 3/4 years though

I half expected a Resistance game to be shown yesterday when they opened with GTA then went to Rachet and Clank and then to Grab Turismo. Looked like they were going back in time!!

Like I said in another thread it all depends on what sort of trade in deals are available.

[Deleted User]

I think it looks very sleek myself. I have a monochrome setup so will fit in but i won't be getting it at launch. No one has mentioned Resi 8.
Can't wait for that one though the rest of the lineup apart from Ratchet And Clank left me cold.

I only played Astrobot recently on PSVR and it's my favourite platformer of all time, absolutely grin inducing throughout. Will gladly spin it up on the PS5 but hope there's a VR option as well.

I can honestly say the aesthetics have never been a factor in my console purchasing decisions. Only caught the first 40 minutes yesterday, games looked pretty cool but I'll probably be playing some fps for the first 9 months anyway.

Looks great, as boxes go.

One thing I don’t get is this ....

Sony is bringing out a all digital ps5, people on here are going ohh yah so buying this one and so on,

Microsoft when they brought out the all digital Xbox one, people on here ****ted on it going it’s pointless, games cost more, the list is endless

All very pot kettle ......

Would not agree with that. I think people were keen enough on the Discless Xbox but 2 things went against it:

It came out far too late to make a big impact.

It cost pretty much the same as a Xbox One S (RRP at least).

The fact that this is a SKU released at launch makes a big difference but not guaranteed to be a successful move, other consoles that launched with multiple SKUs ended up confusing things and one ends up being far more popular than the other.

I hope it can be uninstalled. It looks like fun but I am guessing it will get really tight on space on the SSD.
