It’s standard practice to show off your game before deploying it, but Sony decided not to release a single screenshot of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered recently, leading to lots of controversy last week. Many feel that the title should be a free PS4 to PS5 upgrade, but Insomniac Games has insisted it’s investing significant effort here, recreating the game for the PlayStation 5. Currently it’s only available as part of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Good news: we will get to see the game in action before it launches on 12th November. Here’s what the Burbank-based studio told a fan on Twitter:
We reckon a side-by-side will do wonders here, showcasing the upgraded facial animations, character models, and graphical features that the studio has implemented. While the backlash to this remaster isn’t entirely unexpected, we do think a lot of the criticism could have been mitigated if the publisher had actually released some assets. Let’s hope those arrive imminently, eh?

Wow, I’m so glad we have the honour of seeing a single second of footage before putting down money for the game. Aren’t we all privileged.
@nessisonett more than you are getting from Microsoft 🤷♂️
@talocaca at least Microsoft are talking about their consoles....
@talocaca more than getting on the actual console
We really don't have to do this every single post!
I wonder how many puddles will be on the ps5 version 😂
Insomniac says they will show gameplay of Spider-Man Remastered before it releases.................
I find that sentence funny.
Sony's silence feels like they are building up to an imminent State of Play to show off footage from all launch titles. Maybe the OI too. Wheras Microsoft seem happy with press releases and Twitter, Sony seem to want to put on the big show. The problem is that it creaes large gaps between info which inevitably causes some frustration.
I have this preordered and im excited to play through again and see how they have improved what was already a technical masterpiece
@get2sammyb Some people actually do. It's one way to live your life.
@get2sammyb Eh, give it till May 2021, if everything goes somewhat normal everyone that wants a PS5 should have one and everyone’s attitudes should be a little more chill by then.
Can't wait for this, I'll play miles morales first and then this remaster with glorious RT & 60 fps 😃
@ZeD Are they talking about their next-gen launch games though 😛
I'm starting to think that Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Day theme was actually a reflection of Sony's marketing strategy for the PS5.
Oh, and Spider-Man's cool and all, but I won't be giving the Remaster a go. I'll take Miles Morales and call it a day.
@ZeD @ZeD maybe it's just me....but I buy game console for the games.
What games have you seen running on Xbox Series X hardware that got your attention?
@talocaca
Did I say they got my attention? No....
I am just saying that they have shown more than Sony so far....
I hate this site when new consoles come out. was the same for the PS4.
I have this pre order, as it was only an extra 20, and as I didn't play the dlc think it's not too bad, I have cyberpunk also pre ordered, but am not sure whether to cancel that and wait for the ps5 version and get either sackboy, AC Valhalla, godfall or maybe demon souls. But demon souls is defo 50/50 as I am currently trying to finish dark souls remaster, had a few days break from that atm, going back to it tonight, I am enjoying it but need to know I can finish that before buying demon souls. Also got Bloodborne in my library since release but rage quit that after a while so might go back to that soon for some more rage haha
I've Spiderman on PS4 but still haven't played more than one "the tutorial", maybe I should play it on PS5, but really bothers to pay for it again.
I've said it before, but I will say it again for the hoots of it...
If this remaster (about 10 minutes after the original game arrived) is taking up significant resources at Insomniac then they would have been better off putting that effort into making Miles Morales a bigger game (or even starting work on a new game).
@deathaxe I am still a bit confused with the cyberpunk ps5 upgrade. Not sure if I buy the ps4 version and it's a free upgrade to ps5 day one, is that the full blown ps5 version? Because they said that the ps5 version is being released later, so if I buy the ps4 version do I get the ps5 version day one, or is it just an upgrade of visuals until they release the ps5 full version. So still 50/50 on cancel to the pre order and wait for the actual ps5 version. Even reading my comment back before posting and I got confused lol
@get2sammyb You're right and I am pretty sick of all the endless bashing. But PushSquare has to take some responsibility for constantly stirring the pot with Soapbox articles about Sony's silence and fans demanding answers/free upgrades. You guys are actively contributing to the problem, which does not absolve posters saying ridiculous things on every post, but it does beg the question of why you would be surprised that it is happening. Maybe stop posting those Soapbox articles that inflame the issues? I know they are good for clicks, but they are not good for community.
This place has become more toxic over the past few months and it really makes me sad because I love the majority of the coverage and posters on it. I am not saying we should ignore issues and put on rose-colored glasses, but I think a lot of us come here to escape the constant barrage of negativity in the world. We don't need a steady stream of more.
I imagine that footage will be part of the final console 'event'. Finally feels like things are starting to get a bit of traction these last two days and hopefully we will get a steady stream now going forward.
@Rob_230 That would be rather scumbaggy after already doing pre-orders. Both companies should be done showing off everything.
Interested to see how they'll wow people with this. If it isn't an incredible difference they will face a lot of backlash for it not being a free upgrade.
They are releasing the footage 2 hours before the games cones out.
I just wanna know will we get an upgraded version of TLOU2 and Ghost? or will there be an "Ultimate" version or something like it. And people say Sony is straight forward and their communication is top notch...
I get the concept of buying the PS4 version and getting the PS5 digital game as a free upgrade, but what about the other way around? I want to buy the ultimate digital for the remake but also want Miles for the PS4. Sounds like I would need to buy twice?
@ZeD that’s all they have to talk about we want to hear about THE GAMES
@Daleaf looks like Cyberpunk will be giving you a free upgrade to next gen but those features won’t be available until 2021, meaning anyone getting Cyberpunk on PS5 or Xbox Series X will be playing unoptimized version until next year!
@talocaca my sentiments exactly!! To each their own but the only true NEXT GEN experience coming this holiday season is from Sony. Objectively speaking.
@2cents spot on mate, why didn't they just word it like that lol, makes much more sense. It's what I thought but was unsure. Think I might just cancel it and wait for the ps5 version then. Now just got too decide on either sackboy, AC Valhalla, godfall or demon souls.
FYI there is footage on the PlayStation blog of spiderman remastered.
@SamMR Same here! I'm holding out until I know that!
@710King i mean not really. You can still cancel your pre-order at any time if you're not happy 🤷♂️ pretty much every game ever has been able to be preordered without having all the info. Pretty sure every console launch too.
Microsoft haven't even shown any new games running on a series x yet which is truly astonishing.
@JapaneseSonic 😂
