Spider-Man Remastered PS5 vs PS4 Pro + Performance Ray Tracing 60fps Mode Tested!

Alongside Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Insomniac has updated the original Marvel's Spider-Man to run on PlayStation 5. In this detailed analysis, John Linneman compares Spider-Man on PS5 to the PS4 Pro version, finding a range of improvements. Plus he takes a closer look at the new ray traced performance mode, which delivers 60fps gaming with RT on top. How does it work and how did Insomniac deliver it?

I tried Performance RT on Morales but I actually still preferred Fidelity mode even though it's capped at 30... The motion blur in the game is great... On the other hand though Demon's Souls Remaster I felt like the 30 FPS mode was unplayable and jarring so I stuck to 60 mode.

@Jim Harol I don't think it will take the developers as long as previous generations, seeing as these consoles have become more like a modern PC.

Fps drop each "cut" during cutscenes are by design to make sure all rendered object will display properly. It's essentially a built in quality check. The team decided 1-2 fps wasn't noticable as there is a proper blend technique between the dupe frames as well. Only tools will show you the fps drop generally your eye will never see it. Rt mode has a 2fps drop on average Perf mode has a 1 fps drop on average The game will delay additional fps if it needs the time to do a porper cut. Overheat a ps5 as well as a full ssd and it'll drop to 3-4fps between cuts.

Spider-Man 2 will likely not come out in 2021, but even if it does, the city and assets are pretty much built already, and further improvements can be made upon them with more knowledge of next gen performance limits. It's different to spending 7 years making a huge ambitious game from the ground up than to make a game in the same City 3 times. Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing, just that it's a good time saver for them. Think of it like this, Square Enix takes years to release new Final Fantasy titles to the point it's getting silly, and it took years for FF7 Remake Part 1 to launch, but now that those assets are out and the groundwork has been built, they can just improve upon this and release part 2 in a much shorter time, even if they have to go and improve it to align with next gen expectations.

Much to my surprise, I seem unaffected once the FPS gets to 60, so now these games have 60fps with RT it would be a real shame not to dive in. There goes another £70! Thanks? I can only echo how impressive Insomniac have been, bringing us these updates in such a short time, and with the obvious high quality bar they have set themselves. In a week where we see only too well the ramifications of just 'shovelling it out the door' its nice to be able to celebrate a quality developer doing right by its audience.

This level of RT is perfectly acceptable in my opinion, as most reflective surfaces don't have a mirror finish, meaning reflections will be blurry and noisy any way. Reflections also tend to be mostly unnoticed by players unless they're close-up or the focal point, so a blurry reflection with a low culling distance is acceptably immersive

[@JenovaDoll]

Impressive stuff from Insomniac. Now we can have both RT and 60fps.

[@MisterNive]

I believe the duplicate frames in cutscenes are used in order to avoid pop-in during camera cuts.

[@Lord_Pistachio_Nut]

Bingo! Something that the naked eye literally can't see unless on video, pausing and rewinding, to specifically scrutinize something they saw on an analytic while playing the game OR pop in/artifacts that are blatantly obvious even to a half blind person without glasses. I'll take the double frame/dropped frame here and there. 🤷‍♂️🤣

[@fahro2083]

I’m playing this game on my 4K projector (120 inch) and can’t believe how good it looks and plays in the new 60fps RT mode. I agree that RT is a big win for the image quality. Yes, the 4K RT mode looks a bit sharper but the way the game plays and looks (because of the higher motion resolution with 60fps) more than makes up for it. Awesome job insomniac!

[@parsashirali8957]

Rt and 60 fps and at 1440p? Damn this is impressive

This and Miles Morales is the reason I got the PS5. On the Pro it was already sick-couldn’t imagine any room for improvement (besides Peter’s old face which I didn’t think fit the OC) But on the PS5, this attention to detail is insane. Like playing a CGI film. No clipping, no texture pop and rich renders and lighting. It’s absurd it’s so good.

[@bryanrafael9001]

The level of performance Insomniac has done with Spider-Man was just outright remarkable. The way they could squeeze up such seemingly taxing graphical fidelity in a console really sets the bar high for others to do the same and I couldn't be more excited to see that in the coming years as more and more exclusive games gets announced.

[@TheCanadian0495]

I played with this mode on Miles Morales, and overall was quite impressed. It still looked great and I didn’t see many performance drops, mainly when I’d be in the middle of enemies with tons of particle effects
