Really hope this game is as good as the Spider-Man 2 game. Also, I like how Spidey's eyes are resemble the ones of his MCU counterpart.
It doesn't feel like it's been two years since this was announced, but here we are! Spider-Man will launch for the PS4 on September 7!
-not many QTEs in overall game -R2 must be pressed each time you shoot web (aka you don’t auto shoot repeatedly if you hold the button) -at least 21 costumes Impression summary: -super impressive and satisfying feel -Starts in Peter’s apartment -Swinging starts quick after cutscene -more satisfying than Spider-Man 2 -high momentum emphasized and easy to maintain -opening reminiscent of Sunset Overdrive feel -Peter wears wristbands always and puts his webshooters on them when he changes into costume -special animations to keep momentum for things like fire escapes, swinging at walls, etc -Can’t swing without buildings or trees, but can web zip almost anywhere -feels very player controlled -moving downward on buildings has very different animations than going up buildings -no hurting civilians (punch button changes to interact button) -tons of details like squirrels, rooftop parties -lifelike world like “GTA” -low pop-in -controls are responsive above all and balance with physics and agency -UI normally present -R2 is the “go” button (sprint, swing, wall run) -X is zip and follows where you point left stick -L2 is slow-mo aiming precision on time limit -snipers exist in missions -stealth somewhat doable -X while zipping leaps -can get near a crime without engaging -combat unlockables exist as you progress - Hold O approaching a corner during wall run to web zip around the corner -not many QTEs in the overall game -missions are ranked for how well you do -points earned for good moves and takedowns are spent on suits and movesets -unique suit powers unlocked can be equipped to any other suits you have previously unlocked -started game with classic suit not white logo suit -Peter is a poor adult scientist but won’t say where -Peter knows Harry -Stark Tower and Wakandan embassy are in NYC -no signs of non-Spider-Man characters though -Fisk is first villain -Mr Negative is central to at least early Act - Aunt Mae works at shelter run by Mr Negative -MJ is active thought not combatant in her missions, not just walking around and hiding -MJ knows Peter is Spider-Man -MJ and Peter split 6 months before game and reunite to work together at start of game -Venom is a “cool character” says Insomniac -Insomniac “nailed” the Spider-Man game -Engages and slows down to let you know Peter, a la Arkham games -plays “amazingly” -unknown how long the game is -side missions and crimes are different as the (different toward the en (different toward the end, new enemies etc) -Spider-Man is full of quips and humor -suit is designed for this game and it’s story -blue suit parts are active material, Red is Armor, white is unknown protective material -suit is very thought out, knuckles covered with specific material, boots blue etc -many suits -they want you to be the Spider-Man you love, so costumes are pretty wide open and appear in cutscenes appropriately -at least 21 costumes -‘want to play it again’ -more satisfying than Spider-Man 2, started game with classic suit not white logo suit ------- interesting,
