Spider-Man fans outraged over PS5 remaster change On September 30, Insomniac Games revealed that Spider-Man\u2019s PS5 remaster would be completely replacing Peter Parker\u2019s character model. While some were excited for the change and compared the new design to Tom Holland from the Marvel films, others were upset at the decision. Annoyed fans responded to the Twitter post, and hit out at the company for drastically changing the character, such as one user who exclaimed, \u201cInsomniac just completely changed a character\u2019s face who now looks like a WHOLE different person and they expect us to be okay with that?\u201d Addressing the fan, the developer replied with an explanation: \u201cOur full reason is in the blog, but we had to recast as we needed a better match to @YuriLowenthal\u2019s facial capture to bring you next-gen performances.\u201d The actor that portrayed Peter Parker corroborated their explanation and tweeted out a joke about his face being the problem. \u201cGuys. It\u2019s my face\u2019s fault. The stupid stupid bones in my face. Blame my bones,\u201d he said. Despite the explanation, some fans simply were not having it. One Twitter user challenged the developer\u2019s tweet and said, \u201cC\u2019mon Insomniac. That reason is weak and you know it. You guys are better than this.\u201d Insomniac responded back and stated, \u201cNo, that is the true and actual reason that we had to do it.\u201d Other upset players began to pile on such as one who ranted, \u201cWhat the hell does \u201cnext gen performance\u201d even mean?\u201d They later followed up and slammed Sony as well: \u201cSony unlisted the video, lmao cowards. I\u2019m extremely disappointed in how the marketing team is handling this.\u201d The Sony-owned developer posted a lengthier explanation on their website, which you can check out here. After the backlash, the Director of the game, Bryan Intihar, made a post on social media that said, \u201cWe totally understand your reaction. Heck, it even took me awhile to get used to Peter\u2019s new look. Please know we didn\u2019t make the decision lightly.\u201d Intihar went on to explain that the change was decided so that performance capture in future games in the series would be a closer match to the voice actor, which they couldn\u2019t achieve on the PS4. Regardless of how you feel about it, it looks like the new Peter Parker is here to stay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
