Re: Spider-Man (Insomniac Games) PS4 (9/7/18)
So, can someone tell me why the hell Spider-Man has to hold onto a pole on the subway (during the fast travel sequences)? Pretty sure he could be in a moving train doing a one handed handstand and not budge an inch ![LOL](/images/smilies/lol.gif)

Sony confirmed that there's no upgrade path to Remastered for owners of the current PS4 release except to buy Miles Morales (either the deluxe edition or paying to upgrade the standard edition):
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered is an enhanced version of Marvel’s Spider-Man, and is included as part of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition for the PlayStation 5. In addition, players who purchase Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PlayStation 4 can upgrade at no additional cost to the PS5 version of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and can take advantage of a paid-upgrade to download Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered.
There are no plans currently to offer Marvel’s-Spider-Man: Remastered as a standalone. Players with a copy of Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4 can purchase Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition to experience Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered on PS5. Marvel’s Spider-Man for PS4 also will be backwards compatible on PS5.

That is about what I expected. At least they confirm that you can pay $20 for the Spider-Man upgrade later if you want to, assuming you own Miles Morales. That's something.

I'd been bracing myself for this for a bit, although it still stings. I'm more annoyed about what this'll mean for other recent/recent-ish games, like Last of Us II and Ghost of Tsushima.

And this is more than just a next-gen upgrade - it's a full remaster. So that is different, I think. We aren't just talking about improved frame rates and textures, this is ray tracing reflections, more cars and pedestrians. A lot of work. I wouldn't necessarily expect that for free.

I literally don't see anyone saying Spider-Man: Remastered should be 100% free. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places and/or not paying attention to 15-year-olds.
I see people saying two things:
1. There should be a direct paid upgrade path from Spider-Man PS4 to Spider-Man Remastered on PS5. Meaning:
I see people saying two things:
1. There should be a direct paid upgrade path from Spider-Man PS4 to Spider-Man Remastered on PS5. Meaning:
- if you own Spider-Man PS4 on disc, you should be able to pop it in your PS5 and pay $20 to upgrade it to the Spider-Man Remastered on PS5 version, still requiring the Spider-Man PS4 disc for authentication.
- If you own Spider-Man PS4 digitally, you should be able to pay $20 to upgrade it to the Spider-Man Remastered on PS5 remastered version.
- People are willing to pay this $20 because that's exactly what they're charging if you own Miles Morales PS5 (standard or ultimate)
- If you buy the standard Miles Morales, you have access to buy the digital Spider-Man Remastered on PS5
- If you buy the ultimate Miles Morales, digital Spider-Man Remastered on PS5 is redeemable
- This seems to be far less of a sore spot, but I get the point. In "current year" bringing your save from one version of a game to another version of the same game is a nice to have option, but not mandatory by any stretch. Some people appreciate the effort to make it happen. Others couldn't care less.
- That said, I don't think there's any example where this has been the case in the past. Any "Remastered" game is, as far as save files and achievements/trophies, an entirely different game. This goes for everything that's ever been released, as far as I've seen, other than what MS is doing with Smart Delivery. But that's a new initiative, and can't be expected across the board, even if it's arguably a good thing to do with minimal (if any) downside.

The whole upgrade thing is a huge double edged sword. They want to make money but offer new features, gamers don't mind paying for remastered versions but when it's obvious they're being screwed they make it known.

2. It sure would be nice if your save file from Spider-Man PS4 could carry over to Spider-Man Remastered on PS5.

Spider-Man Remastered recast the face of the actor playing Peter!

It's not just Remastered, it's Re-Cast-ered!

Did they re-cast MJ too?

Was this because the original actor wasn't available for Miles Morales and wanted them to be the same between the two? Or just an actor swap?

"just to be clear, all the performance and facial capture is Yuri in the game. So all of that performance, is coming forward. It's just the head model that changed."

Outstanding news! So I can just go into New Game+ instead of starting from nothin'.

That's cool. But the flipside is no new Trophies, I would expect.

Now see, that has me pondering getting the more expensive version now. There was zero chance I'd start over in Spider-man so the Ultimate Edition was a no-go. Now I'm rethinking getting just the Miles Morales game and getting the UE instead. Amazing how putting in some effort will net sales.
Plus I still have about a DLC and a half to go to finish everything. I'll pop back in for another swing on PS5.

I sold my PS4 in anticipation of the PS5, so I hope I can use my save from PS+ then export it all on the new PS5 and with the UE of Miles Morales. Otherwise I’m not sure what I can do to export the save.
