Insomniac rechaza las acusaciones de 'downgrade' en Spider-Man
Spider-Man está terminado y llegará según lo previsto, el 7 de septiembre a PlayStation 4 -con la publicación de los análisis unos días antes, el 4 de septiembre-. Y como en la mayoría de lanzamientos, el juego ha sido acusado de downgrade, o pérdida de calidad respecto a las presentaciones originales.
James Stevenson, jefe de comunidad de Insomniac Games, ha rechazado las acusaciones y explica que las diferencias son combinación de cambios por cuestiones artísticas -tales como reducir el número de charcos en el suelo-, una posición del sol diferente y la alta compresión de los vídeos utilizados para las comparativas, pero no a cuestiones técnicas. Stevenson asegura que el detalle no ha sido modificado en los niveles o el traje de Spider-Man.
Hoy hemos sabido que su historia principal durará unas 20 horas, al margen de todas las actividades alternativas, misiones secundarias y coleccionables, que alargarán la vida del juego.

Its not a downgrade. The sun moved. Its in shadow now. That video is overly compressed and crushing dark detail. Looks great at full res James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 25 de agosto de 2018
Yes because the lighting and the video compression. I looked at it in full res this week and the suit detail is there. The video compression is crushing it James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 25 de agosto de 2018
No just go watch the hour of footage weve put out since E3, realize there has been. I downgrade, stop stressing out, and enjoy the game in two weeks James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 25 de agosto de 2018
There is no downgrade. The sun moved during the course of development, which changed the lighting in the scene, and we reduced the amount of puddles there. Please enjoy the hour of amazing footage we've released since E3 illustrating this. James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 26 de agosto de 2018
No its not. Lighting changed and we moved a puddle. Games change in development. All the level of detail is still there James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 26 de agosto de 2018
Yes. The lighting changes the dark details of the scene, but all the detail is still there. We didnt remove or downgrade anything. Insomniac has never done that. James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 26 de agosto de 2018
I am telling you I talked to the technical and engineering and art staff, and looked at the live code of this from the final build. There was NO DOWNGRADE. James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 26 de agosto de 2018

yes the sun has moved several times during development which may change appearance as things look different if the light changes James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 26 de agosto de 2018
you have to be kidding. go look at the examples from the game you reference. that's night and day.
this is a lighting change and some aggressive video compression and a puddle being moved. It looks great at home and every journalist who has played at E3 or preview build agrees James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 26 de agosto de 2018
I'm telling you the lighting (darker lighting hides dark details), combined with compression crushing dark detail, is making it appear less detailed in the tiny screenshots going around, but it's NOT.
I said the puddles being removed was an art change, not a technical one. James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 26 de agosto de 2018
And despite my adamant explanations, clarifications, and assurances, people don't want to listen. Yet I'm the one with the Dev kit and 4K monitor here. James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 26 de agosto de 2018
Other photos show they clearly did change. Also they arent as intense. Im the developer explaining it to you and you wont listen James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) 26 de agosto de 2018
