Review embargo is up at 3pm (UK time) tomorrow i think. Don't expect it to get crazy reviews like 10s or anything; i think it will be more like 8s.

I'm really excited for it but a little annoyed about the DLC. There is a teaser trailer out for the first one today (before the game even releases...) so you know it's ready to go. Hope it isn't noticeable that it's main game stuff sliced out to be sold later.
My son is a big Spidey fan so I'll be buying it regardless, just waiting on impressions to decide how early to purchase it and at what price.
Thanks for letting me know. I agree regarding the potential scores as I’m not buying for myself but my brother in law.
DLC so soon after a release is such bullshit.
No issue if it adds genuine new content (see Horizon), but it's clear they've released 80% of the game and are going go release the other 20% as DLC. I'll wait until the full version is released. Got a backlog of games to get through anyway.

Am curious to see the reviews for this. The previews have been almost universally gushing - but I expect that the reviews are a bit more critical.
I personally can't wait for this - have pre-ordered it already and am sure it will keep me occupied until RDR2 next month. I loved the feel of swinging through NYC in Spider-Man 2 on the PS2 so an updated version of that sounds good to me!

I got a bunch of Amazon vouchers for my birthday (spits). Planning to use them on either Spiderman or GoW. I know everyone is gushing over GoW but Spiderman looks more fun.
GoW is insanely fun.
Picked up Yakuza 0 on impulse. I’m actually surprised at how good it is, having an absolute blast. Didn’t expect it to be so funny in parts too.
It’s essentially a high octane version of Shenmue (my favourite game of all time). Looking forward to trying the others in the series too, especially now they’ve remastered the first two games for the PS4.

Embargo broken. 5/5 from the aptly named Impulse Gamer.
Can't wait to play Spider-Man. Looks a lot of fun.
Tried accessing it but seems their site is down - given they are the first to post a review not exactly surprising!
Here are his closing comments:
Disappointing at the lack of Spider-Man thread.
Sounds promising.
"One of the defining games of a generation" sounds a bit over the top though even without playing it yet.

So I was planning on using the beautiful red spiderman console as an excuse to get a PS4 Pro.
However, the special edition only comes in a standard ps4, and the ps4 pro is exclusive to game.. and of course is now sold out..
So, probably this questions been asked a few times but.. is the ps4 pro worth the difference?

If you have a 4k HDR TV, yes.
Will buy this on Friday I reckon.

Can anyone highlight the main reasons to buy spiderman? Like is it just a glorified version of the old game where you swing around? I understand there’s no online play or anything.
Swinging around is too much fun in this one. Like seriously god tier traversal. Combat is excellent too. And the story is up there with God of War. I played quite a bit thanks to an old friend who reviews games. His review is here: https://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/revi...ps4-download-game-length-release-date-1911146
I'm a little surprised by just how good this game is reviewing actually. I knew it would be positive, but not to this extent. Looks like i'm gonna pick it up on friday now!
You could try reading some reviews given that none of us have played it. It's not released until Friday.
EDIT apart from the guy above, evidently.
Which game did you enjoy more? This or GoW?
Spider-Man. I’ll give you some reasons:
- Spider-Man is much easier for newbies. I don’t game thaaaat much but I did take some time to finish many of GoW’s puzzles especially towards the end.
- Spider-Man has some really fun stealth sections, loved the way you can use enemies to pass obstacles sometimes.
- God of War has amazing combat. Feels a bit sticky thanks to that axe, which I love. Spider-Man on the other hand has that quick punch kick air punch web zip combo finish type lightning fast combat. Takes some time to get used to but damn it’s addictive.
- Spider-Man overall is less serious than GoW. Love the dialogue writing in this is kickass. Lots of humour. After a long day at work I really am not in the mood for a game that takes itself too seriously.
- Spider-Man will appeal to anyone who’s seen even one or two Sam Raimi movies. God of War is more geared towards fans of the first three. I didn’t play the previous GoW games so I didn’t get some of the “fan service” moments.
- Overall I’d say both are great games. Just as we were lucky to have incredible titles like Yakuza 0 and Persona 5 in 2017, we are ridiculously lucky to get two top games this year in God of War and Spider-Man. Hope this helps.
How does the game look on a standard PS4? Assuming you played it on a standard one, of course. I've read that it looks spectacular on a Pro.
Nice one thanks. Looks like Spiderman ticks my boxes.
Apparently Spidey is only 15 hours long which seems so damn short for a €60 game these days, especially an OWG.
I've so much to play right now I think I'll wait til it's cheaper.

Sorry mate, played it on my friend’s Pro. I love the fact that cinematic cutscenes look exactly the same as gameplay footage. There’s a seamless transition between those two. Looks great on the Pro but I don’t know about standard PS4.
Cheers.
Main story alone is 20 hours.
Ugh don’t care how good a game is, if you announce ‘dlc’ before the game’s actually released then you’re essentially releasing an unfinished game. Think I’ll wait for a sale or genuine complete edition.
I’m not one to lecture others on how to spend their hard earned cash, but I really wish gamers wouldn’t rush into buying these games on day one when they pull shit like this. It only dignifies this half arsed business practice of releasing an incomplete game and then charging you for the rest a few weeks later.

Going by IGN it's 15? And supposedly the side quests are meh.
Anyway I'll obviously buy it at some point so I'll shut my dumb mouth.
I agree.
I'm also surprised, Sony are usually really good with their first party games and DLC's.
Disagree. I actually think the best thing about the PS4 pro isnt the higher resolution, but rather the improved frame rates. I only have a normal 1080p display but still glad I upgraded my vanilla PS4 to a Pro model. The experience on the ‘performance mode’ really does feel more fluid IMO, but again I’m historically a PC gamer accustomed to higher frames per second.
Bear in mind not every game offers a performance mode on the PS4 and i don’t know if Spider-Man does, but would be surprised if it didn’t.
I upgraded to a Pro and 4K HDR TV and the difference is huge.
I'm new on PS4. Got the Pro in July. Never owned a PS4 before. I have got just 2 games. GoW and Horizon Zero Dawn. What are some of the must-play old games?
Some of the games that I'm interested in getting so far are

Did not expect this much praise. Looked like Spiderman: Arkham to me. Cant see myself buying this anytime soon as I'm saving up for Red Dead and FIFA. Would defo pick this up when the prices drop. The swinging and traversing around the city looks so much fecking fun (shades of Sunset Overdrive) and apparently has a good story too.
Metal Gear Solid V
Gran Turismo Sport (If you are into driving games)
Persona 5
Rocket League
These aren't really 'big' games but I really enjoyed/still enjoy them
The Last Guardian (from the makers of Shadow of The Collossus, a bit clunky, but brilliant)
SOMA (first person Sci-Fi, very interesting/thought provoking story)
Thumper (Great, intense psychedelic rhythm game, I still play this from time to time when drunk/stoned)
Dead Cells (still playing this its a very good side scrolling metroidvainia type game)
Until Dawn (Horror story game where your decisions & actions can influence the storyline)
Good video for all you nerds out there. Interesting watch.
Thank you! Rocket League sounds really fun and will buy Gran Turismo too (was a big Need for Speed fan). Will get to the other two when time permits. All these games look great.
