Member Oct 26, 2017 76,629 From reviews I've seen it appears that they have the same open world, but Miles seem to be more streamlined. Is the original worth playing or is Miles the more definitive experience?

Member Oct 27, 2017 19,826 Nope, Miles is great but the first game is still better and has better writing.

NinjaScooter

Member Oct 25, 2017 64,237 The story in Spiderman is good I think, and sets up some of what happens in Miles Morales, but it isn't vital, and playing both back to back might be overkill.

The Fallen Jul 14, 2018 25,606 I think Miles is the better game by a fair margin but the original is still worth playing. Just skip the DLC if you want, Miles has a recap for that.

Banned Aug 1, 2020 2,091 the original is 100% worth playing and a much longer and more fleshed out game just sucks that you have to buy the ultimate edition of miles morales to get the ps5 remaster of the original

Member Oct 25, 2017 6,099 First game is great and gives context to how Miles gets to where he is. Play it.

ASleepingMonkey

The Fallen Oct 26, 2017 4,716 Iowa You *could* but you shouldn't. First one is better (they're both great) but I think you'll get more out of Miles if you play the first game

TheInfinityGauntlet

Member Nov 3, 2017 4,393 They're....not the same game so why wouldn't you play both?

alexi52

Member Oct 28, 2017 22,529 NO, the story in PS4 Spiderman is better and it builds up Miles so there's no reason to skip it

Ryuelli

Member Oct 26, 2017 15,209 If you decide to skip out on side content (which I did (for the most part) during my play through of Spiderman, then they both play very similar. Personally I'd play through Spiderman first because it's really good and gives you more background for Miles, but Morales does have a catch-up video at the very beginning if you want a quick summary.

Cordy

Member Oct 25, 2017 17,603 I say no, Spider-Man is amazing and the better of the two. Don't get me wrong, Miles is amazing but the first game's got better writing. If you do decide to skip it however just known that there's a "last time on Spider-Man" thing at the beginning of Miles that sums the first game up. Still I suggest you play the first.

Member Oct 27, 2017 22,713 Seeing as MIles' origin story is in the first game...

I just did this and I was so burned out by the time miles was over. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I'd spaced them out. OP OP

The Fallen Oct 25, 2017 38,238 I played Miles without having played the first game, and honestly I had a great time. If the original game was as short as Miles, I'd probably play it, but I've heard too many times how padded it is. It also doesn't help that its combat is supposedly not as fun as Miles'.

Do you want a 20 hour experience or a 6 hour experience? Miles ain't that long.

The first game remastered looks nearly as good as Miles.

KORNdog

Banned Oct 30, 2017 8,001 Play Spiderman remastered first if you want to focus on current gen. It's an amazing game. Miles is a much shorter stand alone expansion type experience though. If you don't go into it with that expectation you might be disapointed. For me miles just felt like "more" of what I already loved...I'm not sure I would have been satisfied with it in its own though.

Member Oct 26, 2017 11,438 Nah. It's an amazing game that's sets up Miles. And will get a more normal sequel

It's a port. I mean new hotness. But it seems that the original is getting a lot of praise. I also prefer Miles since the Spiderverse film.

Yeah like obviously both are good games, and interconnecting in terms of story, but its not like you are going to be lost if you just pick up MM. Its a comic book story its not tough to grasp what is going on. The burnout would be my concern but that happens to be easily with open world games so to each his own. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to play MM now and pick up the first game sometime down the line, maybe when the remaster is on sale or something.

But they're both on PS4 and PS5. I'm also guessing that the events of Miles Morales won't be as important (outside of building him up as a character) as the events of Spiderman 1 should we get a Spiderman 2, so if this is a series you'd like to stick with might as well knock both of them out right now.

IIFloodyII

Member Oct 26, 2017 28,501 Play the 1st first if you have any intentions on playing it, it's outright spoiled in Miles and going back from MM will be a lot harder than going forward, as MM has really good additions and improvements to traversal and combat. You like 1 you'll very likely like the other, both are great.

Miles is the better game, but the first game is still very much worth playing, with a story you'll want to have experienced before the sequel for it comes out

Spring-Loaded

Member Oct 27, 2017 19,904 OP, do you like forced stealth segments as characters without any stealth abilities

ToddBonzalez

The Pyramids? That's nothing compared to RDR2

Banned Oct 27, 2017 15,530 They're pretty similar quality-wise. Miles has less content, but cuts out some of the unfun missions types like Mary Jane stealth segments and the pipe rotation and shape matching puzzles.

GraceOfGod

Member Jan 27, 2020 740 They are 95% the same exact game type. Do you want a tight 20 hour personal style story or a 40+ hour wide ranging spider-man story? It is not a knock, both are great games but they are nearly identical as a game. It's the type and depth of story that is different. OP OP

I like stealth when done well. I love MGS.

Heck no. You must play original

karnage10

Member Oct 27, 2017 6,475 Portugal i'm going against the grain and i'd say to skip both. I didn't play Morales so take that into consideration. For me spiderman felt like an ubisoft assassins creed with a marvel paint. Extremely disapointing for all the praise it gets here.

"This guy are sick"

Member Oct 25, 2017 16,344 Spider-Man is the worse game, but you should still play it first for narrative reasons

Wereroku

Member Oct 27, 2017 9,042 Start with the ps5 version of Spider-Man. You can ignore most of the side content if you just want to play the story.

Rats

Member Oct 25, 2017 8,893 I played them back-to-back right at the PS5 launch and I loved it. I wouldn't have wanted to play MM alone. It's not a terribly substantial game compared to the first but it works great as a follow-up.

NinjaGarden

Member Oct 25, 2017 3,574 Miles' origin is in Spider-man. Play SM first.

how about stealth that is really bad? fortunately they are not overly long sequences

JuicyPlayer

Member Feb 8, 2018 9,040 I really wanna play original Spider-Man again but the stealth missions really dragged the game down. Wish you could skip them.

IMO the original game is kind of weak. It has good presentation and some nice setpieces, but the combat/traversal are rather shallow and the sidecontent and open-world elements are really weak. Story is there, nothing special but it's nice enough to keep you interested most of the times. Game has indeed some stealth sections that are not fun, but IIRC there are only a few of them and are short. Don't know about Miles though, being shorter seems a good thing but I can't say anything more.

whatsarobot

Member Nov 17, 2017 825 Had the same question, and it really comes down to: How much time do you have? If you've got the time, do both, but I've got kids and a job and wife and lots of shit to do... so just Miles was perfect. Felt like concentrated goodness at every turn.
