How Web Swinging Works In Spider-Man

GI: "Two of the minds behind the game walk us through this important feature with exclusive gameplay examples."

[CyrusLemont]

I love the focus on never losing the rhythm of traversal. The high quality motion blur and lighting along with the wide palette of colours used at any spot in New York makes the game look so damn captivating and easy on the eyes.You can immediately tell a hell of a lot more time and effort has been put into making NY and its environments interesting instead of just copy pasting blocks of grey blobs around the place. I can definitely see myself just cruising around for hours exploring. This is going to be THE Spider-Man game that I've wanted and waited for so long to get. They picked the right developer.

[BABI-PANGPANG]

Yeah man, and here I thought it couldn't look much better than InFamous did it. Boy was I wrong..

[Bebedora]

I believe in the devs. Thanks for the review /s. Too much emphasis on the game. I find it ok to be amped and passionate, just so....

I remember seeing spider-man from the first time and seeing whom is making it, I thought, holy fck! I could not see that coming. Not even a tiny bit. But I believe SONY did the right thing here. The've made so much good with Resistance and _R_atchet.

Never, a game I've played ( after heavy reviews and what I felt could be wrong with it ) by insomniac have I ever been disappointed. I cannot remember. Now they are doing this. It will not be special, it will be insomniac.
My take on it.
Errr...Ok, one slipped by the custody - Latest Ratchet was watered and not memorable by how good it was. Sorry, just a sincere input on the whole game. The best is there usually is two dev teams...

[CyrusLemont]

Well I can definitely understand your tempered expectations because of how you felt playing the Ratchet and Clank reboot. Funny enough though, that reboot was my first Ratchet game and I loved it. It’s actually what got me more amped up for this!

[UCForce]

I do enjoy Rachet and Clank reboot. But yes, I know some people didn’t like it because it didn’t feel like original. At the same time, Insomniac is know for making good games. Insomniac will do Spider Man Justice.

[outsider1624]

The last good spiderman game for me was spiderman2. Never tried the others. How exactly are the environments in the later spidermans?

[Genuine-User]

Web swinging looks so damn good.

[Pancit_Canton]

PSVR Support Sony. Make it happen Insomiac. They could totally pull it off.

[Majin-vegeta]

I can see it now.
"Man believing he could swing like spider man flies out the window while playing video game"😂😂

[trooper_]

🤣

[quiddd]

You know Trump's gonna run with this.

[Profchaos]

I'd love it but as a psvr fan I don't think the console could get there while keeping the game reasonably good looking

[Bathyj]

As a PSVR fan you should know graphics don't really matter. It's immersion that's king on VR. They could do it.

[Pancit_Canton]

You should try Moss, Gran Turismo VR, and Wipeout VR. Those games are awesome in VR.

[MONOLITHICIDE]

Bathyj
Weve been here for a long time haha.
Anyways. Agreed about the immersion. I think thats whats taking so long with Dreams.

[PhantomS42]

Talk about the ultimate test of motion sickness.

[OrganicOrange]

Insomniac has created like 4 VR games before, so they do have experience..

[Jeff257]

I love when they start talking about web swinging in game just to relax. Back after Spider-Man 2 came out I would sometimes break out the game just to go web swinging and it was relaxing. This is obviously going to beat what we had back then and I cannot wait to again just enjoy using the city as a playground.

On another note it is going to be great seeing how people string together moves and how they traverse the city.

[ClayRules2012]

Insomniac’s respect & love for Spider-Man is clearly evident with the footage that has been released. The way Spidey traverses & swings in the world looks natural & believable. Mixed with the speed & momentum, it'll just be so much FUN. As it should be.

Not that I had any doubts (especially after that fantastic E3 demo from last year) but the passion & care with which the studio is tackling this game is just inspiring, and I hope it’ll inspire other game studios who, in the future, may have the honor and privilege of taking on another superhero game, that it’s not about stamping your company logo on the cover of the game case. It’s more than that. Having the opportunity to take a superhero, known by millions all over the world, and telling a unique story about that said character, and having your entire team come together to make a gaming experience that not only the fans can be proud of, but that you, as a team & indivuals can be proud of.

I'm hoping we'll get to see a little snippet of gameplay with Peter, out've the suit, just doing something normal & cool.

[UCForce]

They will do this game justice.

[ClayRules2012]

Yeah, I believe they indeed will.

[MONOLITHICIDE]

Well stated. Makes me even more excited to see what suckerPunch has up their sleeves with Ghost of Tsushima .

[ClayRules2012]

I hear ya, bud. I'm extremely excited & curious to see more about Ghost of Tsuhima.

[fenome]

Oh man, same here. When I first heard Spider-Man suckerPunch is the first thing I thought of. Then comes insomniac and it looks like they're doing it solid for sure. I love the feudal Japan setting in Ghost too, they're both making badass games can't wait see more and get my hands on. We've got some good ass games coming up.

[outsider1624]

Oh boy! Do you think they're gonna show some gameplay of GoTsushima at this year's e3?

[GNCFLYER]

Glad this piece came out.

In the forums I visit tons of web slinging experts are crawling out the walls talking about how its shit.

[OffRoadKing]

Looks like its very intuitive and an absolute blast, cannot wait to start swigging Spidey through New York city.

[mercyblades]

Photo mode is going to get used a lot, I imagine!
PlaystationBlog would be smart to run a "contest" for best in-game screenshot, like they did with other games.

[OffRoadKing]

Oh absolutely, I've spent so much time just taking beautiful shots in games like Infamous: Second Son, Uncharted, DriveClub, Horizon: ZD, AC: Origins, etc. and with how gorgeous this game looks I can't imagine it will be any different. Photo modes are fantastic and I wish more games had them.

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

There is talk that it's actually far better than Spider-Man 2's web slinging. To me personally, that's insane. It seems like Insomniac went above and beyond with making sure the web slinging is perfect.

[UCForce]

I think Insomniac Game have a best shot on this. I can’t wait for this.

[Bathyj]

Relaxation within exhilarating.

[outsider1624]

Haven't seen you here in awhile. How have you been man?

[Bathyj]

Yeah not bad mate. Really busy with life lately. I still read here but haven't been commented much. Didn't play much for a while but far cry got me back into it.

I am so psyched for Spiderman now. Obviously it was on my radar but it's just a must buy now with all this new info.

[sampsonon]

man is it ever a great time to be a PS gamer :)

[The_Sage]

I've never been excited about a Spider-Man game until this one. Also... I find it funny that there is a lone hater disagreeing with everyones positive comments.

[Jeff257]

I have played pretty much every Spider-Man game except the PS3 version of Spider-Man 3. Got the PS2 version instead as I didn't have a PS3 when it came out. I have enjoyed some more than others but this one so far seems like the one I have always wanted to play.

[Bathyj]

This reminds me of the Lord of the Rings movies in that it took someone with real passion for the source material to come along and truly do it justice. With those movies it wasn't some studio just handing out a license and saying we need this made. It was a labor of love by Peter Jackson. This feels like that to me.

[jagermaster619]

Can't wait to play this on Xbox one x.... Hey hold on guys it was just a joke. In all honesty it looks great and finally a good looking Spiderman. Insomniac are amazing developers, if you have a PS4 you should definitely be getting this one! This is coming from an Xbox guy you guys have alot of great exclusives and this is another great addition to your library. Game on!!!

[jagermaster619]

You want to know how I know this site is a joke? I started it off by joking then complemented Sony for having a great game and exclusives and still get down voted. I mean come on there is no winning with you guys!

[thief]

Ha ha

[OB1Biker]

Being allowed to down vote is not a joke though. There are sites which only allow upvote (or like or agree) and that is a joke because giving a false meaning to it.
Don't take it to seriously though its only meant for people to agree or disagree with whatever there is in a comment. Personally I can't decide if your joke is good or not so I didn't upvote or downvote.

[twiggytree12]

It was a bad joke, better luck next time.

[ShadowWolf712]

Or because it was a really lame joke.

[boing1]

It's basically a polished version of swinging system from Spider-man 2 which is awesome because it was the best.

[TheFanBoy]

Why does the video on this site never work on my iPhone?

[Scatpants]

As long as you don't just shoot webs into the sky to swing I'm happy.

[josh-eh]

I just want to see more classic villains in this . Spiderman has a HUGE roster of bad guys and I want there to be at least 5 other villains that are not just in the DLC story packs. Spiderman 2 had everyone!

[ShadowWolf712]

Shocker's in it.
Game Informer said there was a mission vs Taskmaster.
Kingpin's in it.
Norman Osborn at least appears in it.
Mr. Negative is in.
There are references in Peter's apartment to Sandman, Electro, etc.

I'm sure there'll be plenty.

[gamer7804]

i'm sure the gameplay is going to be great, insomniac is great at that, what worries me is the story, hopefully they can craft a story that keeps people interested.
