Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was always a graphically impressive game, and unsurprisingly, the imminent PS5 Pro will further up the ante, offering dazzling graphical quality at blinding speeds. That's according to developer Insomniac, anyway, who have admittedly been pretty good at delivering on the goods.
The above trailer shows the magnificent fusion of Spider-Man 2's Performance and Fidelity modes, or the developer's "true vision" for the game. Senior creative director Brian Intihar explains that players will no longer need to choose how they want to experience the game and will see it as it was always intended, without compromise, and has the gameplay clips to back up the boast.
Are you planning on firing up Marvel's Spider-Man 2 first on PS5 Pro to impress your friends, significant other, or parents suitably? Let us know who you would show in the comments section below.

Figuratively literally? 🤔
@Matroska I'm confused and aroused.
I'm already playing the 40fps mode. 40fps is so much better than 30. If the pro just does the same thing at 60fps, then cool. But not that impressive.
@BrettAwesome I guess you could say it’s not that awesome, Brett?
The puddle prophecy has come true.
Ps5 pro isn’t really a must have for your average gamer.
You need to count the pixels manually to find out whether it’s on Pro or the base model, because Insomniac‘s upscaler works so well. Okay, RT reflections are a better, but they have to explicitly show it in this video.
Ergo: FF7 Rebirth aside, the differences we have seen so far are minor at best. In a world where YouTube videos are mainly watched on smartphones instead on 4k TVs, it’s a tough sell for Sony!
@BrettAwesome there is also Fidelity Pro mode which you can play 40 fps in 120 Hz container.
@LikelySatan It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them.
Our bodies are not ready. I am undertaking a naked spirit quest in the woods in the lead up to the Pro release to cleanse my spirit, so that I may properly take communion with its glory.
Not played SM2 yet so might give it a go on Pro.
If you look at this and people still say it's not such a big difference come on you must be blind. Now give us Infamous 3.😁
Great news because I've started playing Spiderman 2 on my base PS5 and after 5 minutes I've deleted it because it looks like a GameBoy Color game at best
@Absymbel Well if you buy a PS5 Pro you can be confused and aroused at 60fps in 4k.
Look out, we got ponds and reflections - now it's a much better game!
@Czar_Khastik literally is figuratively?
just wait until it releases on PC
@Matroska if Khayl Adams isn't gen Z. I'd be extremely surprised
Can we have some new games, Mr. 9th Generation? Pretty please?!
If PS5 Pro was required for the true vision of the game then PS5 never should have launched. We got f**king cross-Gen games for the first half of the Gen anyway.
This is weirdest headline I've ever read here... anywhere, actually.
@Czar_Khastik "Great news because I've started playing Spiderman 2 on my base PS5 and after 5 minutes I've deleted it because it looks like a GameBoy Color game at best"
Ahh you must be playing in fidelity mode as mine just looks like a gameboy game.
@nomither6 January can't come quickly enough. I swear, as a gamer I wish my life away 🤣
@Matroska yeah, that confused me as well.
I still play almost exclusively PS4 games on my PS5. Even then, it's on my Portal, so it's a compromised experience anyway. I'll get a Pro if my base model dies, maybe. Hopefully I can get a disc drive while the DRM servers are still up...
Seven. Hundred. Pounds.
Melting customers faces seems like a bit of an unfriendly practice to me....
But seriously, it nice to see Sony actually start advertising Pro, even if there are much better game examples they could use.
Unfortunately, they will have a harder time due to the problem that even if viewed on a top spec TV, Youtube will just not do the difference justice.
Mumbo jumbo techno babble bull - because Sony are our paymasters.
And they spent hundreds of millions but we still need a ‘better’ console to see their vision.
Nope. Sorry. Not going to buy into it.
I guess I won't be taking the chance I've grown quite attached to my face.
Man, you guys really, really want people to buy this thing for £800, eh? I still haven't moved on from the price and I'm unlikely to until the price moves.
@ApostateMage £800, mate. My base PS5 has a disc drive, as do, apparently, 85% of PS5s sold. To be able to play any of my disc games, which is about 20, I need the disc drive.
So it's an £800 console if your need feature parity.
@Banjo- Really? I thought it was funny 😆
@nessisonett Yeah, how dare they? Sony should have known better and should have waited when Insomniac was ready to give us their true vision! And then wait till Naughty dog was ready with their true version of a game. And then…
The more I see and read of the Pro the more I want one, the things a beast. I might pick one up after Christmas along with the VR2, just hope the motion sickness stays away.
@LogicStrikesAgain The reason is money.
Noticed the use of puddles in the image nice! lol
I wouldn't mind new games on pro melting my face off but old games, nah. Sony and Microsoft have lost it, one buys games studios and does nothing with them the other makes a pro and hypes up no new games. Console gaming is dead
£800 and it still can't play CDs
Good thing I’m not getting a Pro then.
I quite like my face not melted.
So PS6 means ur face spontaniously combusts?
the amount of word bending in this headline and news trying to hype the tame graphical upgrade of a $700 console is the most amazing part of this.
Does it improve the horrendous facial models that nearly every character has?
@Phelaidar it’s understandable, but they should rename this site as ‘Push’ for the Pro release window.
Where’s the picture of the literal face melt ?
