Some gamers who were looking forward to Spider-Man’s release next week are claiming Insomniac Games has downgraded Spider-Man’s visuals, leading to smaller puddles and several other perceived problems.
A Reddit post from Thursday morning by Ghulam_Jewel compares Spider-Man E3 and release screenshots, and is nearing 7,000 upvotes and 1,000 comments. Redditors are arguing over whether or not the textures look worse in the release versions – but one thing everyone agrees on is that what once was a giant puddle is now a smaller puddle.
Whether or not consumers will let this lead to a buying decision is unknown. While some fans have made jokes that it would be a silly reason to not buy Marvel’s Spider-Man, others are sticking to their guns and letting Insomniac hear about it on Twitter.
