Listen it's very cool and all but my eyes can't stand it.

[@Camachik172]

It's kind of a shame really, because on the movie they animated him on 2's (every other frame) when he was starting, to show his inexperience and nervousness, but at the end of the movie he was animated on 1's, to show his growth and mastery, so it really is a shame that they didn't implement that on the game

[@inventsable]

@@ClownDollThatHasContemptForYou Yeah I always felt it looked awful and out of place, which I get is the point. I've heard the framerate argument plenty, but there's a huge difference between animation in 2's and 1's with 30fps, not with something with a dynamic fps like video games which can be all the way to 60 if not above. It doesn't carry over throughout the medium, it looks awful.

[@Juggtacula]

For people who are currently playing Miles Morales or beat it and didn't know. The "Into The Spiderverse" suit is NOT animated differently. Unlocking the suit unlocks 2 separate mods for Miles to attach to ANY of his suits. One mod adds comic book sound effects with the colorful background like POW, THOWK, BANG!!! when he hits enemies. The other mod is the one that lowers the current suits framerate to match the half rate from ItS. So you can put it on his standard suit, his Prowler suit, his Daft Punk suit, even the one with Spider-Man the cat. As long as you have the mod equipped, he will move choppy like that. I just want you guys to know so you can experience the awesome of the mod while not being locked into just one suit when there's like 30.

[@gnu740]

Larger eyes (compared to characters like Iron Man, Daredevil, etc) do allow Spider-Man to be more expressive, even with a full-face mask. It also matches how young he typically is in media, and suits his characterisation as a light-hearted quipper. So, Andy's 100% right on this one, and I support his passionate response. Large eyes are just good character design. The amount of red on the suit is also very important. For coolness reasons.

[@lukenukemson2231]

That Saint's Row 4 side scrolling bit where you were WEARING THE CLOTHES YOU HAD DRESSED UP AS blew my mind at the time and was my favorite bit of SR4.

[@K4TSam]

I don't think they actually recreated everything tho, i've seen mods that add the sidescroller animations to the regular character, or that let you access the map used for the sidescroller, and the it shows that the level is actually in 3D, just with a filter to give an 8-bit look to it

That sentence is even more wrong than It first seems. Because “smash 4 for the Wii U” has basically one falsehood per word. Smash 4 is the collective term for both smash for Wii U and 3Ds, which mean specifying smash 4 for either console is redundant at best. That’s before we get into the whole “sakurai seems them as two different games” angle. Also the way it was worded implied he wasn’t in smash for 3Ds which isn’t true. It’s a very bad sentence, to the point it’s impressive.

Have a couple honorable mentions: Arx Fatalis has a spell you can cast that downgrades all the textures (in tribute to Ultima Underworld, which the team originally wanted the game to be based on), and Halo Master Chief Collection lets you downgrade the visuals of Halo CE & 2 to look like the originals.
