Asked on Twitter about the specs for Marvel’s Spider-Man on PlayStation 4 Pro, Insomniac Games revealed that it will run at 4K via temporal injection and 30 frames-per-second. When someone asked for the possibility of 1080p/60fps on PS4 Pro, Insomniac said the option won’t be included:
4K via temporal injection, 30 fps

nope, not really an option there. We will optimize for best experience on PS4 and PS4 Pro.
— Insomniac Games (@insomniacgames) June 18, 2017
no, 4K/30fps on Pro. If you use 1080p you’ll get a supersampled image that should look very nice.

no, it’s 4K / 30 on Pro

We’re continuing to optimize towards release but we’ll provide that when it’s locked.

That said, our implementation on Ratchet & Clank is best-in-class, and DF agrees.

If you watched the gameplay debuted at E3 2017, that was running on a PS4 Pro. Addressing why the new footage looked different than the E3 2016 trailer, Insomniac said, “Any differences are just small improvements to the model and costume that we’ve been making over the last year.” Specifically addressing why the graphics look different, Insomniac said, “They got better / different lighting?”
Marvel’s Spider-Man is running on the Insomniac Engine, and the developers re-assured fans that it will be a solid 30fps:
the best way to get an idea is to look at Ratchet & Clank comparisons.

we hold a solid 30 FPS in our games, Ratchet is a great example

Several other tweets from Insomniac revealed that “Miles isn’t just a cameo, he has a role to play in the story,” they’ll announce the composer/cast at future events, the final version of the E3 2017 demo will have “more Fisk employees to save in different parts of the site, you can save in whatever order,” and the demo just scratched the surface of the combat system.
Marvel’s Spider-Man launches in 2018.
