It's sad that we've got to a place where a developer needs to even state this is the case with their game.

This is how it should always be.

 

[Skifi28]

Insomniac, save us! This is like the first major release in months that released complete with no glaring technical issues that doesn't require a roadmap and promises of fixes for the next few months.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Seems like how it should be for all games.

 

[Nankatsu]

Praise Insomniac.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Is that even legal?

 

[MasterCornholio]

Is that even legal?

Well as long as its true I dont see why it wouldn't be legal.

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Good

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

As a big proponent of physical media, I'm just happy that Insomniac was upfront about it and straight up said that the entire games is on disc and playable from start to finish since we all know there has been several big single-player releases this year like Jedi Survivor which had a mandatory 50 - 60 GB download.

 

[Luigi Mario]

PlayStation first-party releases are usually complete on disc. I think the last time that wasn't the case was with HFW on PS4 or Days Gone all the way back in 2019.

 

[Dis]

I almost want to buy this just to support physical

 

[BouncyFrag]

Other devs gonna be big mad over this.

 

[FrankWza]

I think Scorsese would volunteer to direct Insomniac's Spiderman movie.

didn't the guy from digital foundry found a big where a dead body floated? there will be patches of of coarse

I don't think that has anything to do with the OT.

You can find minor bugs like this in any open world game and of course there's going to be patches down the line with minor fixes or even new features, it still released complete though.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

As it should be.

Here some serious devs, congratulations, I will buy your game.

Take notes all publishers with ridiculous releases with almost no data on disc for no reason.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Looking at some performance analysis it seems like it's a pretty solid product despite the minor bugs it may have. This isn't like Skyrim( for example) where it was broken on some systems at launch.

Yeah, 1 bug over 20 hours of gameplay. A dead enemy T posing straight to heaven. Must have been an innocent killed by Spidey.

I dunno if it’s a bug as well but he did also show one instance of a road texture having seams. Probably where 2 textures were supposed to connect. I guess that’s 2 if you count it as well.

 

[proandrad]

So when are we going to get devs posting on Twitter saying it’s unfair to hold the rest of them to this standard?

 

[GHG]

didn't the guy from digital foundry found a big where a dead body floated? there will be patches of of coarse

You tried.

 

[BootsLoader]

Reminds me of good old times, when I inserted the cartridge or disc and I played the game from start to finish with no issues.

 

[TexMex]

wow thank you so much

 

[Garibaldi]

I went digital, so I hope you plastic loving cavemen who don't download the d1 patch love your inferior opening while I bask in improved accessibility and polish.

My opening level is better than yours

Not only do I have access to thugs getting angelically being carried straight to heaven in real time, I also have access to the day 1 patch.

No heaven for digital only people.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

I’m glad Insomniac is looking out for the little guys. I have a 25Mbps DSL connection and a T-Mobile Box that ranges from 40-1Mbps with a 150GB cap. This generation has been a struggle, I legit don’t know if I’ll ever even deal with getting Jedi Survivor. :_(

 

[RoboFu]

Yeah they accomplished what devs accomplished back before the xbox one and Ps4.

 

[rofif]

people, remember.
This site is fucking awesome.

All the song and dance "oh but games are cd keys now bluh where is my mom" is bs.

70% fully playable form disc on ps5. 80 on switch

 

[systemr123]

I guess they’re doing this as some kind of marketing thing against that abomination that is the series x refresh console without disc drive.

Yeah, this is important but so many companies can’t be arsed to properly do their job.

Now if only Insomniac made stealth missions an options download instead?

[Fart Knight]

Good God Almighty.

 

[Brock2621]

I actually would dare to say that the PS5 generation has been the best state of quality control, stability, and accessibility out of any other generation

 

[Raonak]

PlayStation studios level of polish is amongst the best. I can't remember the last time they released a game that was noticibly buggy

Possibly only Days Gone. I never experienced it as I have played it after it was already patched.

 

[Fbh]

That's cool but isn't THAT rare either. Lots of big titles this year are playable from the disc (though there are some notable ones which aren't, like Hogwarts Legacy and Jedi Survivor).

Still, it's always good news when the whole game is actually on the disc.

 

[DenchDeckard]

So, it works thats amazing.

But you should deffo get the patch peeps, sounds like it does some nice improvements.

 

[jorgejjvr]

That's pretty cool, I remember when that used to be the standard. Not sure why this stopped being a thing.

 

[Bond007]

What a wonderful team. Props to Insomniac and Sony

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

That's what I like to see.

Said every lazy person. Do you also have a pee jug? Can't get up? I'm going to invent the gamer themed auto-feeder so gamers don't even need to think about eating, food just happens to fall in your mouth when needed.

 

[Bond007]

This became a thing when we as gamers allowed it to happen. Just like we will eventually lose our rights to what we own and most be ok with it.

 

[Aguero9320]

We have at last reached the stage where literally anything is deemed worthy to be an ‘official statement’

I blame ChatGPT…

 

[Klosshufvud]

Devs are now bragging about putting out a game that's actually finished.

Bravo?

 

[MasterCornholio]

Given how broken some games have been at launch I don't blame them.

 

[hepfom]

Yeah they accomplished what devs accomplished back before the xbox one and Ps4.

Back when games were 300 mb grandpa?

 

[Aguero9320]

I’m not blaming them… Just amused it’s now something “statement worthy”

Game works adequately, but has a day one patch, more news at 11… Wizards.

 

[RoboFu]

Back when games were 300 mb grandpa?

I'm pretty sure ps2 and ps3 where multi gigs you whippersnapper!!

Nintendo Switch still has games that do not need patching.

 

[nial]

Nintendo Switch still has games that do not need patching.

Just like PS4 and PS5.

 

[Saber]

It's sad that we reached a point where this has to be announced. Pretty sure the digital fetish people won't like it.
