@@Seshking69 yeah, like someone else said, it will make it harder. It adds physics to the swinging similar to spider man 2 on the ps2 if you've ever played that classic.
Thank you for making this without spoilers!!! They've been everywhere recently, so it means a lot to have some good spoiler-free coverage of the game, especially a day before launch (though it releases at 11pm today for me)
You're very welcome! A lot of extra care and effort into making sure this was as fully spoiler free as possible, so Im glad you appreciate it! Enjoy the game! :D
For setting 5, you don’t want to set the 120Hz mode to auto, because it changes the PS5 color format to YUV422 from RGB and the colors look washed out in this setting. Performance mode with 120HZ mode OFF is the best setting to play the game in my opinion
Mine is still rgb with vrr enabled and I’m on hdmi 2.1 but for someone on hdmi 2.0, which is probably your case, they should do like you said and play with 120hz mode off
@@TheSkruds are using a 2k or 1080p display? PS5 does not support RGB output on 4k 120Hz mode even on HDMI 2.1 It is the limitation of PS5 HDMI port PS- you can keep VRR to any setting. It’s the 120Hz mode that has this limitation
Playing the game knowing you can change between Peter & Miles at any driven opportunity is gonna be a Game Changer for me and I am just thrilled to try this Game!
Game just came out and it won't let me take off performance mode for fidelity mode. Kinda weird and won't change no matter what I did. EDIT: I just found a solution in case anybody wants to change it and doesnt work. When you open the visual tab and change the performance to fidelity mode press "R2" so you don't get the prompt to restart your lobby. (Restarting was not working for me) after pressing R2 simply leave the settings and it should be working fine after that
I had no idea you had a youtube channel too, praise to the algorithm Also I turned on fall damage and put swing assist to 0 immediatly and it feels incredible, it really makes the swinging more engaging and makes the badass manouvers feel more earnt and thoughtful
@@awt15eb98 My go to is camera sensitivity, subtitles and hdr settings. Audio too to make sure i have the right sound mix for the current setup im using
I used to always try to be more realist when swinging, like going towards the building your web is on stuff like that. So insanely hyped that they added it into the game

Seems like a weird glitch? Is it possible you've accidentally set up an accessibility preset so even when you turn off the shaders for spidey himself, the setting forces itself back on because of the accessibility preset?

I've been so spoiled by "no fall damage" in games, but I'm down for anything to help with speed/movement and web-swinging. Everyone's like "YOU CAN'T STEALTH SPIDER-MAN PS4/5" I'm like WATCH ME. I'm still stealthing just fine.
My display supports 120hz but only at 1080p, it does support vrr at 4k but I cant' seem to get the 40fps to work because anytime I switch the 120hz option to auto it reverts the resolution to 1080 so I'll probably end up going with performance but I'm really trying to give fidelity a try because it does look significantly better. Anyway, this video is just really helpful in general I actually had no idea what film grain was lol, so it's nice to know I shouldn't have it turned off completely and the UI tips were really helpful too.
Glad to help! :D Regarding your 120hz option, to get fidelity working at 40fps, you would need your PS5 to be outputting in the 120hz mode as well so if that means your resolution has to come down to 1080p, then that's your only way unfortunately. You might find it better to play in performance in this case :)
Hey, I just recently bought this game, and have a weird bug……even if I hold r2 it does not swing as it is expected(saying because I have played miles morales and SM1). Also fighting on side missions, it just goes in to swing loop without me pressing any buttons. Would you know any troubleshooting method ?
Might be a dumb question but is there a way to permanently save my preffered shading settings so that I don't have to change it everything I log in or die? Tia
Can you change the audio language at your liking? My ps5 is set on spanish but I play every game with its original language because it feels weird otherwise, is that an option in the game or should I just change my ps5 language to english?
Yeah as I mentioned, you really have to get used to it and good without it, otherwise it will feel worse which is why it's better to gradually reduce it :) When you get good with it, the flow and speed feels higher than with it on
My game keeps freezing up on me. At first it was just a few times but now it’s so constant that I can’t even progress in the story. Many times it even freezes just seconds after the gameplay starts. I’ve already tried reinstalling and cleaning out the console cache but nothing works. I’m even playing another game right now and it’s working fine so hopefully it isn’t the console.
Somehow my tv supports 120 hz but not VRR, so what will performance mode with the 120 hz setting on be like? Just the same as regular performance mode?
It depends on the refresh rate of your display; not the resolution. If it has 120hz, you can get 40fps in fidelity, if it's 60hz, then you get 30fps in fidelity or 60 in performance
Are you using a low swing assist setting? As I mentioned here, it feels as though when you have swing assist fully off, the speed you can gain feels to be a lot higher, although it's a lot harder. There is honestly a skill to it that you just have to build up so keep on playing and you'll get there! :) The clips of me swinging in this video aren't anywhere near as fast as ive been able to get up to since releasing this too, so it truly makes me wonder if there even is a limit on swing speed haha
The fall damage and turning down the swing assist is honestly going to be a game changer for me. I am beyond pumped!
Same, I've been playing Spider-Man 2 (2004) on an emulator recently, so I'm so gonna turn fall damage on and swing assist straight to 0 for sure.
@@harryjd0_0 yep. It just increases the skill floor/ceiling increasing fun and replay value
@@harryjd0_0what would happen if you turn the Swinging assistance down would it be easier or harder
@@Seshking69 Turning the swinging assistance down makes it more physics based(harder).
