Spider-Man - PS4

Platinumed it myself. Only my third ever. No interest in grinding games for platinum but this didn't feel like that at all. I've no interest in scouring maps for hidden collectables either so was nice of them to put everything you needed on the map.

Really? I thought you needed them for a specific suit. Just seen others online saying the same that it wasn't needed.

Damn that was a waste of time so.

There is a suit as reward for getting all the hidden photo ops but it isn't needed for 100% completion or the platinum.

I managed to get 48/50 just from swinging around and looking at the mini map, couldn’t find the last two so gave up and googled what the reward was.

Definitely not worth the effort, fun excuse to swing around the city though.

New Game + out tomorrow with 2 new trophies for beating new game plus and the new ultimate difficulty

New suits appearing in next week's dlc

chrislad · 16-10-2018 3:47pm

Finished the story over the weekend, and just have a couple of suits to earn (Spent challenge tokens on stupid upgrades, rather than suits!) and about 30 crimes to stop. Everything else is done.

DLC is hitting the week after next, yeah (The story one) - I got the season pass when I got the game with the Pro, and there seems to be more challenges in it.

The Heist DLC is out on the 23rd of October

Damn. Have been considering trading in Spider-Man towards Battlefield V but the new content has me reconsidering...

Penn · 16-10-2018 4:13pm

I might hang off on the DLC until they release more chapters of it. Bought the game digitally so won't be trading it in, just imagine I'll be playing AC Odyssey until RDR2 comes out, so just won't get near Spider-Man for a while regardless.

Pac1Man · 16-10-2018 9:51pm

Do you need to be a Spiderman fan to fully appreciate this game? It had obviously gotten glowing reviews but from the outside it just looks like another Arkham game.

Fwiw, the only Arkham game I enjoyed was the first one.

No you don't need to be a big Spider-Man fan at all. Once you generally like the character, you'll be fine.

You won't recognise the villains in the game if you've less than a passing interest but I don't think that would take away from it too much. Much like a generic game, they'd just be villains with specific powers or traits.

marcbrophy · 16-10-2018 10:51pm

Nah pac, I've never seen any of the movies, don't consider myself a superhero genre lover in the slightest.
Still enjoyed this game from start to finish, and platinumed it too

EoinMcLovin · 17-10-2018 12:39am

New game plus is actually not being released today but soon. It was discussed in the ps blog article but has since been removed from the article.

Zero-Cool · 19-10-2018 9:10pm

Ha!

The Heist DLC is out today. Length of DLC missions is supposed to be around hour and a half in total but there are new challenges

splashthecash · 23-10-2018 10:05am

Are all these DLCs for Spiderman PS4 free?

Nope, €7.99 for The Heist DLC or €19.99 for the Season Pass

chrislad · 23-10-2018 10:41am

Platinumed this at the weekend. I'll wait for the DLC before trading it, as I got it with the Pro version of the console anyway, but I think I'm done with it. There's not much to do post game, so hopefully, this will give a bit of life to it. I'll trade for Red Dead when it's all out

Temptamperu · 24-10-2018 11:42pm

Anyone get the DLC? its out on PSN!

And of course, the 50+ years of comics have nothing to do with the character's popularity whatsoever?

I was all set for this game, even bought a PS4 Pro many months ago so I could play it, but once I heard there was DLC and a Season Pass, I was instantly turned off and now won't be picking it up till the entire game is available and purchasable in one go. I've played 10 minutes of it over in a friend's house and it's an amazing game for sure, so I'll just keep looking forward to it and will pick it up when it's all been released and is at a sensible price.

Agreed - it's about 2 hours, maybe 3 total for 100% on it all. I would have liked if they threw a few more bases in there, but overall, it was more of the same. There was nothing new of note, bar the story, and no significant set pieces that were of massive interest.

EoinMcLovin · 13-11-2018 3:11pm

Turf Wars DLC will be out on November 20th

Just started it last night. Not sure how much longer there is in it but can't imagine there'll be too much. Still, I like how there's a new way to earn challenge tokens without having to redo the Taskmaster challenges. Means I'll be able to get a few of the upgrades I couldn't buy before as I had just enough challenge tokens for all the suits for the Platinum trophy.

Game is still a lot of fun to play though.

Penn · 13-11-2018 4:09pm

A picture of the suits for the new DLC have been released

Zero-Cool · 13-11-2018 4:25pm

Needs a Stan Lee skin ASAP

flazio · 17-11-2018 6:54pm

Played it, loved it, loving the soundtrack. (From the same composer as Daredevil and The Defenders)
https://open.spotify.com/album/1Kx85IhG2J5vVOsNgDD8fw?si=_jNc6DTlS8aqqN7CYEFzBg

My heart just broke in the end. Not a big gamer myself but big MCU fan and that hit the spot. Now for the DLC.

flazio · 22-11-2018 1:10pm

I get it that the further you go into a game, the harder it gets, but honestly the new thugs in the DLC campaigns are taking it too far, in the speakeasy base in the second part and keep getting ambushed and killed.

Johner · 22-11-2018 3:05pm

€34.99 in Argos and Smyths for anyone looking to pick this up.

So I'm not the only one that struggled with the surprise ramp up in difficulty.

Penn · 13-12-2018 3:33pm

Last part of the DLC trilogy out 21st December. Focuses on Silver Sable Vs Hammerhead Vs Spider-Man.

DLC outfits:

I've enjoyed the DLC so far. Some minor annoyances but always a fun game to dive back into for a while.

How long roughly would it take to complete ? 100%?

coolisin · 14-12-2018 11:47am

I would say 100%
Worth giving them the full price

One of the best looking games on the PS4. And im only on the orginal PS4 to see this on the Pro/4k must be good!

If you can get the deluxe edition I would just so you have the DLC to continue on with, they are not great but continue the experience!

You could complete the full game on a weekend easy enough.

Sephiroth_dude · 14-12-2018 11:52am

With all dlc it's 60, will you get further dlc as well though I wonder?

coolisin · 14-12-2018 12:03pm

Sephiroth_dude wrote: »

Doubt it, they always only said 3.

Its being the only game where I bought the DLC at full price just to get a little bit more gametime as soon as possible!

Anything else i've waited until the dlc was nearly free.

Either way full game is worth the €40, if you like Spiderman and the idea of swinging around a great representation of Manhattan, with fighting criminals thrown in there is nothing not to like.
This game has not disappointed me.
I'll be sad when there is no more in a couple days.

Sephiroth_dude · 14-12-2018 12:48pm

It worked out as 45 for Dulux edition because I have plus .

Sonics2k · 14-12-2018 12:50pm

Honestly if I had the €40 right now to buy it, I'd get in a heart beat. Had a go off of it at a mates house a few weeks back and it's crazy fun to play.

Penn · 14-12-2018 1:13pm

I bought the deluxe edition at launch and feel I got my money's worth, so definitely worth it at €45. It's not without its flaws, and there will be minor annoyances and repetition throughout, but overall it's a lot of fun, really well-made and an enjoyable experience.

Sonics2k · 19-12-2018 10:08am

Finally picked this up for myself on Monday night, played it most of Tuesday during a relaxing day off.

It's so much fun, the webslinging matches my childhood fantasies from the comics. Combat is pleasantly challenging, even the initial Fisk encounter was a bit of a challenge at first.

Of course I had to unlock my favourite skin first, the Scarlet Spider.

Even some of the Thugs have managed to mess me up. I ran in there a bit too zealous at the start but I'm getting more used to the stealth aspects now.

J. Marston · 20-12-2018 2:36pm

Looks sweet. Still the best Spidey suit, in my opinion...

God if I worked in Insomniac I would've deleted that suit after all the sh1t they got.
No way would I be giving it as an Christmas Present/surprise!! Well Not until I got an apology from some of the entitled brats out there!
