Insomniac Dev Reveals Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Fast Travel Hold-to-Confirm Prompt Doesn't Hide Loading

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 fast travel load times are impressive, being only mere seconds between travels, though a dev reveals it could be faster

You mean I have to press a button to fast travel ? Oh no what will I do pressing buttons in a video game ? This is based off of a forum not really a story

[CobraKai]

Right. Gamers be like, “you mean you have to use your hands? It’s like a baby’s toy”

[Lighter9]

BttF2 reference. Nice!

[Tacoboto]

I'll take a forum post written by a developer themselves, over any upcoming instant-front-page article from videogamer

[solideagle]

I think it's because you don't want accidental press and fast travel, so they did it to hold the button.

[porkChop]

Yeah it's pretty logical. And even if it was to hide loading, who cares? Games load in seconds these days.

[darthv72]

So what if it did? The game does load and they do a really good job of masking it.

[jznrpg]

Thiis is loading you choose to use for traveling not open a door load, get on a vehicle load , menu load for everything.

[darthv72]

you realize I'm not making a disparaging remark about it... right? The game loads so quickly wherever that it doesnt matter where or how they mask the loading. It's THAT good!

I heard the game doesn't have enough load-screens.

Starfield has some to spare, but what Spider-Man 2 really needs is Sarah Morgan. Peter and Miles need her moral perspective as they're handling street crimes or smashing a base.

When is N4G going to hide its loading? 😭

[P_Bomb]

Haha, no doubt! I’ve had severe problems loading N4G for at least 2 weeks now!.

It's been pretty good today for me. No long loads. Can you try clearing cache and see if it's still loading poorly for you? Thank you. Also, PM the result.

[InUrFoxHole]

Zingo!

[gold_drake]

yea i dont know why this site specifically has so many issues.

[mkis007]

Its going to be fun comparing Starfield loads to spiderman 2's loads. All the ways starfield makes you wait; takes control away.

I only say this because of how close they are releasing.

[SICKINDIVIDUAL]

Ah ... starfield...the loading simulator.

[GamingSinceForever]

Even with this could you name a quicker fast travel in any game?

[mkis007]

Its mind blowing.

[GamingSinceForever]

It took longer to push open a door in FF16. Let that sink in. 😂

[PhillyDonJawn]

Oh no, loading! The fans gonna despise this

[SoloGamer1]

And so what if it WAS hiding a loading screen?! Its still about only 3 seconds! thats amazing.
