Sony has already announced that it also wants to release several Limited Edition variants – just as there are several PS4 Pro Limited Edition game consoles have been released. In mid-2018, for example, a bright red one PS4 Pro Spiderman Edition unveiled, where LetsGoDigital at the time also expanded review of has written. Will Sony decide to release a special edition again, this time dedicated to Spider-Man: Miles Morales?
PS5 Spider-Man Limited Edition console
You probably remember Giuseppe Spinelli. The Italian digital artist, known online as Snoreyn, in collaboration with LetsGoDigital has made several impressive video productions around PlayStation 5. It started with a fan-made PS5 trailer, afterwards Giuseppe, also has the new one DualSense controller in the picture and a PlayStation 5 Black Edition designed.
This time Giuseppe in collaboration with LetsGoDigital brings a brand new PS5 Spider-Man Miles Morales Edition. The console is accompanied by a PS5 Digital Edition, which is built in the same style. For those who doubt the authenticity of this video: it is a concept designed by us – all images shown are digitally designed, this product is NOT confirmed by Sony. Unfortunately….
The black game console has the same distinctive design as the regular PS5 and is beautifully decorated on both sides with a 3D-designed Spider – the Miles Morales logo – which is displayed in a deep red color scheme. The spider web extends over the entire console and offers a perfect contrast to the matte black housing of the console thanks to the glossy material.
It is also special, the spider web can reflect red light which provides an extra playful effect and is also reminiscent of Miles Morales outfit. The black / red color scheme gives the console an extra heroic appearance, especially combined with the red LED lighting around the ventilation openings.
Giuseppe has also taken the time to give the DualSense controller a matching design. The touchpad of the black game controller features the signature slogan ‘Be Yourself’ and the gamepad itself is richly decorated with a shiny spider web. Furthermore, various red elements have been applied on and around the buttons and touchpad, which give the DualSense controller its own identity.
The side plates of the Sony PS5 seem to be designed to be removable and replaceable, similar to a computer case. This may allow users to choose a specific video game theme themselves, without Sony having to release a completely new Limited Edition console.
By simply changing the skin, you have a completely redesigned game console at your disposal. A relatively cheap solution, where over time you can also decide to buy a new skin and adjust the theme.
Furthermore, it remains unclear whether the PlayStation 5 will also have RGB LEDs. RBG lighting has become extremely popular for PC gaming in recent years. For example, virtually no gaming keyboards are released without RGB lighting.
It not only provides an extra colorful accent, but also helps gamers to perform better. The colorful lighting can indicate that something is happening in the game, which gamers can then anticipate. RGB lighting can also provide added value when gaming in the evenings. For those who experience the RGB LEDs as a distraction, there will undoubtedly be the possibility to adjust / turn them off as desired, possibly that this can be set per profile.
Launch title for the Sony PlayStation 5
As a PlayStation fan, you will probably have noticed that Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be one of the launch titles for the PS5. It is a standalone game from PlayStation Studios developer Insomniac Games. Last month Sony gave new gameplay images free. It was also recently announced that the new Spider-man game has an optional 60fps mode. The full game will consume about 50GB of file space.
Sony knows all too well that the interest in this new game is enormous. So was the first PS5 game case which was shown by Sony in the case of Spider-Man Miles Morales. Many PlayStation 4 owners therefore wondered whether the game will also be playable on the current console. The short answer is Yes, a PS4 version will also be released, but there will be no free upgrade for those who have already purchased Marvel’s Spider-Man.
The good news is that the PlayStation 5 is backwards compatible, which means that the existing Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be playable on the new game console. However, in that case you will miss the upgrades that the remaster offers.
The new game Spider-Man Miles Morales is a standalone game. The standard edition is sold for € 60, and you can also opt for the bundle, at € 80. The bundle is also called the Spider-man Miles Morales Ultimate Edition, this version includes the game Spider-Man Miles Morales and a voucher code for Spider-Man: Remastered. The Remastered version is released exclusively on the PlayStation 5.
The Remastered version contains the full game, including all three DLC chapters of Marvel’s Spider-man: The City That Never Sleeps. Several new photo modes are also being added, you can now place light sources in the environment and switch Spider-Suit while taking the photo. In addition, three new costumes will be made available, a so-called Track Suit, an Amazing Suit and a third, as yet unknown out-fit.
For both editions it is already possible to pre-order via the PlayStation Store, the game will be released on November 12 – this is also the release date for the PS5 in the US. In Europe, however, we will have to wait a week longer, here the PlayStation 5 will be released on November 19.
What extras does the PS5 offer compared to the PS4 version?
Should you decide to purchase Spider-Man Miles Morales for PS4, you will receive a free PS5 digital version as a gift, as stated on the web page from PlayStation. If you have already purchased a PS4 version, you do not need to pre-order the PS5 version – this option will be offered as soon as you put the existing disc in the PS5. Obviously this will not work for the PS5 Digital Edition as this console does not have a disk drive.
The PS5 version will use the new possibilities that the console has to offer, such as significantly faster loading times, ray-tracing and of course 3D audio. You can best experience 3D audio with a compatible headset. Hardware ray tracing makes it possible to create much nicer shadow effects and reflections, think of Spider-Man hanging against a window – the reflections on that window look much more natural.
The characters have also been redesigned and designed in significantly more detail than before. The renewed face of Peter Parker has triggered a lot of reactions on the internet, many find him now appear younger, while in Miles Morales he should be more experienced – which is clearly contradictory. Cory Barlog, creative director at Sony Interactive Entertainment Santa Monica Studio, responded via Twitter to the uproar by saying they trust the developers and watch the choices they make – since they love Spider-Man as much as you do.
Furthermore, the DualSense game controller also offer several new possibilities, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The more tactile feedback will pull you even deeper into the game, adding to an extra immersive gaming experience. With the PS4 variant, these extra functions are not available because this console is only compatible with the existing DualShock controller.
PS5 preorder & price information
The PlayStation 5 preorder sales have started, but this is not going smoothly. The first batch was sold out very quickly and as soon as some stock is available again, you only have a few minutes before the console is completely sold out again. Especially the version with disk drive is very popular. This costs € 500. This makes the Sony PS5 exactly as expensive as the Xbox Series X, which will be launched worldwide on November 10, 2020.
The price of the PS5 Digital Edition is set at € 400. You can only play digital games with this console. A disadvantage of this is that you are dependent on the PlayStation Store, where relatively few games are offered at a discount. You will therefore regularly spend more money on purchasing games. Moreover, it is not possible to sell a game if you actually never play it again after a while. Buying cheap second-hand games is also out of the question if you opt for the digital edition.
The PS5 Digital Edition from Sony is significantly more expensive than the All Digital Edition from Microsoft. The Xbox Series S namely has a sales price of € 300. Microsoft has therefore chosen to provide this game console with less good specs, while Sony has the same hardware in both models.
NOTE : The product images shown in this publication are created by Giuseppe Spinelli (aka Snoreyn) in collaboration with LetsGoDigital. The renders are for illustrative purposes only. This product is not for sale, it´s a concept of a PS5 Limited Edition console. So far Sony only introduced a white/black version of the PlayStation 5.
