Insomniac Games patches the Brand New Day Suit in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 following player feedback on its inconsistencies.
This week, PlayStation-related news covers a variety of updates, including significant developments in fan-favorite games and noteworthy in-store discounts. Of particular interest is Insomniac Games’ response to player feedback regarding Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, overshadowing other stories such as the opinion piece on Ghost of Yotei and the new content in NTE.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Suit Adjustment
Insomniac Games has rolled out an update for “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” to address criticisms from fans concerning the Brand New Day suit. Available as part of a promotional tie-in with a recent Spider-Man film, the suit faced fan backlash for not adhering closely to the design seen on the big screen, among other issues. According to Push Square, one major gripe was the lack of battle damage accumulation, a feature available in other in-game attires worn by Peter Parker. The update aims to bring the suit more in line with player expectations, emphasizing Insomniac’s commitment to fan satisfaction.
New Content for “NTE” on PS5
Meanwhile, Hotta Studio continues to expand the vibrant world of “NTE,” PS5’s rapidly growing open-world game. Per Push Square, the incoming update, scheduled for release on August 19th, will introduce a suite of new activities, like beach volleyball, jet ski racing, construction work, and even a new island tailored for drift racing enthusiasts. This expansion underscores the studio’s commitment to continuously enriching the player’s experience with diverse gameplay options.
Discount on Award-Winning “Viewfinder”
For those looking to add to their game library, the award-winning puzzle adventure “Viewfinder,” developed by Sad Owl Studios, is currently available at a significant discount on the PlayStation Store. PlayStation Lifestyle reports that the game, which originally retailed for $24.99, is now available for $8.74 as part of a limited-time deal. The promotion ends on Thursday, August 13, so interested players should act quickly to take advantage of this offer. Although the game can be purchased for both PS4 and PS5, the available demo is exclusive to the PS5.
Critique of “Ghost of Yotei”
Finally, a Push Square opinion article sheds light on the mixed reception of “Ghost of Yotei,” the sequel to the much-loved “Ghost of Tsushima.” While the original game was lauded for its immersive narrative and aesthetic, the same praise does not seem to extend to its successor, highlighting the challenges of maintaining fans’ high expectations in a sequel.
