Marvel's Spider-Man got a new update today, which added the awaited New Game Plus, some new frames for the game's Photo Mode, as well as the ability to rotate stickers, a shortcut to Photo Mode using the D-Pad instead of the main menu, and have finally added more puddles.
For anyone not aware of the puddlegate controversy, Insomniac Games was accused of downgrading
Marvel's Spider-Man's graphics, and all of this was because of a comparison of the final game's gameplay with the gameply shown at the show floor during the E3 in 2017.
Digital Foundry completely debunked this unfounded accusation about the game being downgraded, offering us a great explanation of how reflective surfaces work in
Marvel's Spider-Man, and even praising the work done by Insomniac Games.
Well, after today's update players will no longer have to worry about the game's puddles, or lacktehreof, since Insomniac Games has finally addressed this issue and added lots of puddles to the game...as Photo Mode stickers. User interface and User Experience Lead at Insomniac Games, Gil Doron, has posted this new information on Twitter, finally putting to rest the claim that
Marvel's Spider-Man doesn't have enough puddles.
It really is a great way to tackle such a nitpicky accusation about the game being downgraded, and the way Insomniac Games has handled this is just the proper way to do it; especially given that the accusations lacked any kind of substance and came off as arrogant rather than constructive. Well played, Insomniac Games.
