On May 24, PlayStation held its first large-scale showcase since 2021<\/span>. While it had some cool games, it was lacking the big and wild exclusives the company has historically put out. However, most would agree that the finale\u2014a large gameplay preview of the upcoming, PS5-exclusive Spider-Man 2<\/em><\/span>\u2014was an impressive end for the show<\/span>. Well, unless you ask some eagle-eyed gamers who have decided to focus on the game\u2019s water. <\/p>\n

Grand Theft Auto 6 Comments: A Dramatic Reading<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This has happened before. Ahead of the release of Insomniac\u2019s first Spider-Man<\/em> open-world action game in 2018 for PS4, the studio, naturally, showed off early gameplay and cinematic trailers to feed the hype beast. At some point during the pre-release hype cycle, people noticed that a certain area in a construction site was missing some puddles.<\/p>\n

This quickly exploded into a full-on controversy\u2014dubbed Puddlegate<\/span>\u2014with some claiming the devs had downgraded the game or that the puddles were removed due to laziness. Eventually, Insomniac explained that it was likely just an example of how open-world games\u2014with dynamic times of day and weather\u2014can look different in various screenshots of the same space.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s 2023 and Insomniac\u2019s next Spider-Man <\/em>game features at least one major battle over the yucky waters of New York City, and because nothing ever changes, people are mad about the water all over again. It\u2019s time for \u201cPuddlegate 2.0.\u201d<\/p>\n
