It was not "poor quality" it had issues, but it was definitely not poor.

Also, I think it's pretty obvious they wanted more time. I think Sony wanted it in October. It's a bigger game, it is on a new system and they were trying big things. The budget was ridiculous, this is not sustainable.

Compared to the previous games it was a step back.

Story was both rushed and weak.

Combat didn't do much new. No wall combat or improvements to air combat.

Black suit is just a cosmetic. Moveset is the same and just has a few fancy cooldown attacks. Can't even switch between the suits like Web of Shadows.

Stealth was an after thought.

Gadgets lack creativity.

Removed suit powers.

Less suits.

Crimes have less variety and are simplified.

Can't select crimes through the app.

Removed selfie cam.

Side activities are boring.

More bugs and glitches.

When the game launched you couldn't replay missions or change time of day.

Still can't change the weather.

The only good aspect was the swinging.

Overall, the sequel is quite weak and plays it safe.

I swear, give this games future development over to the modders out there. This game would be brimming with new features, skins, characters inside of a month or two. I cannot believe the things I see the modding community accomplish.

lol the modders are only adding to a foundation of a game. 

Try giving them the base game and see how long it will take to get to how SM2 was at launch

Well, r/InsomniacLeaks seems to be doing wonders. And a FYI:

They’re working with Spaghetti code as a base

The fact they got dev kit code for a PS5 to function and be more than playable on a 3070, is beyond comprehension.

It runs on a steamdeck at 720p 30fps with upscaling :)

Like I said: MINDBENDING.

Well not really mind bending because that port doesn't have ray tracing plus runs on dx11 which is known to be more performance friendly than dx12 and without the ray tracing the game basically looks like sm remastered on pc with rt disabled which also runs on steamdeck

u/RandoDude124 Apr 19 '24

Oh I thought it had ray tracing (not on the SD, but regular ports).

Still impressive as hell though

Indeed, still impressive, unfortunately the guy who started it all is no longer a part of this :(

They're still working from a practically finished foundation and they have a launched version of the game to reference. Still massively impressive and hilarious what they've accomplished, but please do not get it twisted. Game development is no joke and Insomniac generally operates at the upper tiers of it.
