![]() This lowest value appears to be extremely rare, however, with the average resolution presenting around 1584p instead. On PS4 Pro, I saw a top-end of 3456x1944, with a 2560x1368 minimum. But even here, Insomniac has pushed the boat out by implementing DRS - dynamic resolution scaling. The results are mostly excellent - completely avoiding the stippling that can crop up with checkerboard rendering and producing detail that exceeds raw pixel count. While there is precious little information available on this technique, Insomniac seems to prefer this over typical checkerboarding. Spider-Man utilises Insomniac's temporal injection technique featured in Ratchet and Clank on PS4 Pro. This is coupled with generally excellent image quality. If you really don't like it, though, the options menu allows you to adjust its intensity. Most importantly, it's tuned for gameplay - while swinging through the city, edges of the screen and objects are properly blurred but the middle portion of the image remains sharp allowing players to see what's coming. ![]() This first appeared in Sunset Overdrive and Ratchet and Clank on PS4 and it has returned for Spider-Man with a high sample count and a perfect shutter speed. Watch on YouTubeĬutscenes also look superb thanks to carefully crafted animation, smooth camera work and Insomniac's super impressive per-pixel motion blur - which might just be the best implementation I've seen to date. Marvel's Spider-Man: The Complete Digital Foundry Analysis! Digital Foundry's complete analysis of Marvel's Spider-Man covers off everything you need to know about the game's technology. At ground level, holding R2 invokes parkour - which is particularly fun when it comes to jumping and rolling over cars. It's also exceptional while web-swinging through the city, to the point where it's fun to vary your style to see what kind of variation in animation you get - watching Spider-Man spin through the legs of a water tower was one example of bespoke animation you'll only get by experimenting with how you target your webbing. Players have a lot of mobility and combat options, while animation is smoothly blended, giving some degree of continuity to highly complex strings of attacks. Then there is the animation - in-game, Spider-Man features an impressive range of animation applied to major and minor characters alike. Meanwhile, materials-based lighting is remarkable - the leather of Mary Jane's jacket is a stand-out example. In close-ups with various characters throughout the story, there is also a lot of detail revealed: sub-surface scattering is used during cut-scenes, allowing light to penetrate the skin and scatter about realistically beneath the surface. Spidey's suit stands out with superb texture work - the material reflects light properly and small details are visible throughout. It starts with the characters - Spider-Man takes a stylised approach to design, as you'd expect from something based on a comic book character, but that doesn't mean the level of detail isn't exceptionally high. By marrying the vast selection of gadgets and action-driven gameplay of Ratchet with the open world traversal systems of Sunset Overdrive - and the story-telling of the Resistance games - Spider-Man feels like the apex of everything Insomniac has worked to build over the past decade. Our focus here concentrates primarily on the game's technical aspects - if you're looking for the final word on last week's 'downgrade' flare-up, we debunked that yesterday.įrom a technological standpoint, Marvel's Spider-Man represents the pinnacle of Insomniac's prowess, albeit one that shows a clear process of evolution starting from Xbox One exclusive Sunset Overdrive, gaining considerable polish and refinement in 2016's Ratchet and Clank. For our money, it's also the best and most ambitious release yet from Insomniac Games, and the most complete Spider-Man experience to date. Marvel's Spider-Man continues Sony's winning run in first-party releases, once again combining state of the art technology with well-realised gameplay and a wealth of content.
