Players outraged over PS5 Spider-Man Remaster cross-save controversy Insomniac Games\/Sony\/MarvelAfter Insomniac Games revealed that saves from the PS4 version of Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man wouldn\u2019t transfer over to the remastered PS5 version of the game, many players turned to Twitter to voice their concerns. When Spider-Man: Miles Morales was first shown off during the PS5 showcase back in mid-September 2020, fans were blown away by how good the game looked. After the fact, however, details about the how the game would be released were revealed \u2013 including how the Ultimate Edition of the game would include a remastered version of the original Spider-Man game on PS5. Now, developer Insomniac Games has clarified that the PS4 version of Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man and the remastered version coming to the PS5 \u2013 as a part of the Miles Morales Ultimate Edition \u2013 are two separate games, meaning the saves from one version of the game cannot transfer to the other. Needless to say, after the news went viral, many fans were not happy and took to Twitter in order to voice their displeasure \u2013 with some major names cropping up. One Twitter user commented that they thought the news was lazy and that it would alienate customers, which it very well might. Now this is just pure laziness. And a lesson in how to alienate your customers. https:\/\/t.co\/M5zAoxkbCu \u2014 Shaun (@SauRoN_ZA) September 21, 2020 Content creator and streamer \u2018djchrisv\u2019 offered a simple but effective response to the news, also voicing his displeasure. One commenter had a less intense take than some people, but still agreed that news wasn\u2019t exactly the best in the world and that, in his opinion, the remaster seemed like a \u201ccash grab\u201d It\u2019s not that much of a big deal, but this still sucks. This remaster seems more like a cash grab at this point https:\/\/t.co\/4BEs35n3yL \u2014 TheCount (@TheCount1899) September 21, 2020 Twitter user and YouTuber \u2018BlackRockShadow\u2019 also voiced their displeasure with the news. No physical release is cringe, and I know for certain it’s to increase sales for Miles Morales on PS5 but LMAO NO WAY TO TRANSFER SAVES? GET OUTTA HERE https:\/\/t.co\/NIyCZ0DNWa \u2014 Nihahahaha! (@BlackRockShadow) September 21, 2020 As previously mentioned, some notable names got involved with the conversation, too. Gamertagradio co-host Danny Pe\u00f1a, also gave a one-word comment that definitely got his point across, while IGN host Brian Altano chimmed in on the news, as well. This deal is getting worse all the time \ud83d\ude10 https:\/\/t.co\/0bm9Rxv5DC \u2014 Brian Altano \ud83c\udf55 (@agentbizzle) September 21, 2020 At the same time, however, some players weren\u2019t affected by the news at all, with some even confused as to why there were any complaints at all about it. One said that, while he understands the frustration, restarting the game again in his eyes is going to be worth it. https:\/\/twitter.com\/NikoVelazquez27\/status\/1308139220104548353?s=20 Another user compared this situation to Modern Warfare Remastered, stating that player stats didn\u2019t transfer over in that case so why should it here. I mean. MW remastered didn\u2019t come with a physical release when you bought it with Infinite Warfare (granted it was released physical MONTHS later.) But your level progression from Xbox 360\/PS3 didn\u2019t carry over? I don\u2019t get the hoopla. It\u2019s a new version of the game. https:\/\/t.co\/ZjI0JOXgy6 \u2014 Zak Brown (@yrokaz_nworb) September 21, 2020 All in all, it\u2019ll be interesting to see Insomniac and Sony\u2019s response when it comes this controversy. Given how much notoriety it\u2019s gotten, the company might be willing to reverse course and allow players to transfer their saves, although this is purely speculation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
