Oh, no! Marvel’s Spider-Man is well and truly out in the wild, and the web is awash with spoilers already. Pretty much everywhere you look right now are comments on Insomniac Games’ latest, from the villain encounters through to a list of every suit available in the game. There are also YouTube videos being published, although Sony has been reasonably vigilant shutting them down.
There’s nothing you can do, of course, but this is just a note to be careful what you click on when you’re online. Hopefully our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is out there teaching the leakers a lesson as we type.

Won't be affecting me none. I've managed to avoid spoiling God of War for myself as I'm yet to buy it (will be my Christmas present to myself) and I'm doing the same with Spider-Man. For those who want to cry out 'spoilers', it's not like the leakers are holding you down, have your eyelids pinned open and are forcing you to watch. Just be vigilant.
so how are people playing it, the game isn't out for another 2 weeks
@LaNooch1978 Metacritic says September 4th.
@FullbringIchigo Prob broke Street Date (people buying it early)
All I've seen so far online is a bunch of xbots claiming the game has had a "downgrade" because they can't seem to grasp that the game's dynamic lighting makes some scenes look different.
If your on Twitter often I recommend muting phrases like Spider-Man PS4, Spiderman PS4, Marvel's Spider-Man, Marvel's Spiderman and Spidey Suits.
@adf86 I thought the downgrades were because the game was shown running on PS4 Pro at events?
Either way, meh. Me and Marvel dont get along.
Regardless, we all knew these things were going to happen. As soon as people started putting images of the palettes upon palettes of copies in warehouses you knew some would go "Missing".
@JoeBlogs I do that with gamefaqs... I think 75% of the users would banned here for the way they insult each other every other post.
Spiderman is Peter Parker
People not being responsible about spoilers is one big thing I hate about the internet. You can just be scrolling down through YouTube and suddenly there's a huge spoiler in the title and thumbnail of a video, and you weren't even watching anything related to that. You gotta be extra careful.
@Derpie1 How are they buying copies so early though? I've never understood this "breaking street date" process.
@KidBoruto because retailers are happy to sell things early
@Derpie1 I didn't ask why they are selling copies early.
I want to know how they are breaking street date exactly.
I don't feel so good...
@KidBoruto Sony & other publishers have to get these games out in retailers hands in a timely fashion. We're talking millions of physical discs sent out worldwide. That's probably a month long process and some retailers won't bother to wait for the official release date if they can make money now and get ahead of the competition.
My local store got God of War a week early and they had them till side. I actually tried buying a copy, but to their credit they refused to sell me it.
At least this isn't as bad as UC4... https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2016/04/a_thiefs_end_awaits_robbers_who_stole_thousands_of_copies_of_uncharted_4_on_ps4
Myyyah, you'll never defeat my plan to spoil your game, Spider-Fool!
@adf86 Yeah, thats sad, xbox fan (boys) usually like to speak ill of ps exclusive. They even make new twitter account just to troll insomniac games twitter. I guess that what happens when a console doesn't have exclusives, most of their fan (boys) just lost it everytime there's a big exclusive on competing console. Sad.
I still remember the 13.000+ comment on ign for sony exclusive the order 1886 reviews, I don't think there's xbox exclusive that have that many comment on ign.
Yup, I've been on a media black out for this game since E3.
@Gamer83 This website technically counts as media.
JOKER DIES.
But for real, Mary Jane dies....
But for real, I'm just kidding!
Anyone knows the extension you need to install to avoid spoilers?
by spoilers you mean Spiderman wins and saves the day?
@Fight_Teza_Fight Ahh okay thanks for the info, and yeah I remember that about Uncharted 4 now.
@AFCC Yes, unspoiler for chrome. Doesn't work on mobile, its pc only.

I remember feeling very stressed in the launch weeks of uncharted 4, I don't know about unspoiler extension yet so I don't watch youtube and read comment fearing there's spoiler for the game, all of my free time is spend on finishing uncharted 4 lol.
My fear is right though, the first time I see recommendation tab on youtube after god of war launch is "god of war all boss and god of war last boss", fortunately I'm not wearing my glasses yet so I'm safe.
@LaNooch1978 I believe the review embargo is 5th Sept
@wiiware I saw the last boss location (SPOILER: I thought the giant was the boss even) on a thumbnail one day before getting gow...sad
@AFCC Youtube recommendation system is out of whack or outright broken, I don't even watch too many god of war movie on youtube.
