Ahead of the game's global launch later this week, the first Spider-Man 2 PS5 comparison video has been released, comparing the game's different visual modes to each other.
Review for Insomniac's highly-anticipated Spider-Man 2 sequel dropped some days ago, and going by these reviews, we're looking at yet another masterpiece from Insomniac. In our own review, we praised the game's outstanding visuals and performance (as well as its story, traverse system, and more), and looking at this graphics and performance comparison video from YouTuber 'ElAnalistaDebis', we can safely say that Insomniac has delivered.
Spider-Man 2 on PlayStation 5 includes two visual modes - a Quality mode and a Performance mode. The Quality mode prefers resolution and visual fidelity and runs the game in dynamic 4K at 30FPS. The performance mode runs in 1440p at 60FPS and lowers the rendering resolution quality, shadow filtering, NPCs/traffic count, draw distance, reflections, and ambient occlusion. It should be noted that the game is also able to run at 120Hz aside from the standard 60Hz mode. At this higher refresh rate, the rendering resolution is lowered to 1800p in Quality mode in exchange for a higher framerate at 40FPS. As mentioned in the comparison video, the 120Hz mode supports VRR, and players can pick between two different VRR modes - a soft mode which benefits framerate without compromising resolution, and an unlimited VRR mode which favors the highest possible frame rate in exchange for a lower dynamic resolution range.
Going by this comparison video, it appears that Performance mode will be the favored visual mode for many players. Although there are some visual differences with Quality mode, these are minimal, and benefiting from higher framerates without losing ray tracing support seems the way to go.
We've included the comparison video below. Check it out and judge for yourself which visual mode you prefer for now:
- Quality Mode 60Hz: Dynamic 2160p/30fps (1944p~1656p)
- Performance Mode 60Hz: Dynamic 1440p/60fps (1440p~1260p)
- Quality Mode 120Hz: Dynamic 1800p/40fps (1620~1440p) | VRR unlimited 40~50fps: (1584~1440p)
- Performance Mode 120Hz: Dynamic 1440p/60fps (1296p~1080p) | VRR unlimited 60~80fps: (1260p~900p)
Spider-Man 2 launches globally this Friday, October 20. As covered yesterday, Insomniac strongly advises those playing the game from a disc to download and install the day-one 1.001.002 update before playing the opening sections of the game for the first time.
