Spider-Man 2 Improved Movement

The speed at which you can travel feels amazing. Also the web-wings felt naturally way better than they looked in the trailer, especially once you get the hang of their momentum.
In terms of graphics, the game actually looks better in person and after playing for a bit I can safely say it looks better than Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales.

[@puzzleheaded6195]

Man, I haven’t played this game but that was almost like a roller coaster. You really feel the momentum with where you are and how fast you’re moving, especially hearing the car horns as you woosh past them. 0:50

[@FireStarJutsu]

I'm so glad you mentioned that, because that's legit one of my favorite things about this clip!

[@FireStarJutsu]

If I may add, going that close to the ground, literally between the two cars, is only possible with ZERO swing assist. Anything above that will lift you higher from the ground. And going that low "between" the cars, is what makes the wooshing sound of the car-horns feel so close (right beside you), so it's just a perfect mix of movement and sound design. Such a split-second moment, but something truly breathtaking and only possible in this game.

[@AveChristusRex789]

[@LokiAndLoiDontGiveADamn]

I’m pretty sure they did the opposite. They specifically mentioned in several interviews before the release that you can travel around three times faster than in the previous game. They did a great job on utilizing the power of ps5 and they are openly proud of it, as they should.

Just the fact they let us do a 360º holding on a web without sending the physics to the void is amazing.

[@FireStarJutsu]

Though this is only possible when holding on a web straight from a dive.

[@TheFloodFourm]

They’ve finally achieved what was achieved in 2002.

[@snowpuddle9622]

physics?

[@FireStarJutsu]

@TheFloodFourm In the first game, they had to use a lot of assists, becaude they knew most of the player base is not gonna care enough to try and dabble on with physics based swinging, and just want to have a fun cinematic experience. That is still there in this game, but added a slider to turn off swing assist in the settings for the good portion that want to. It's not like they couldn't do more stuff from Spiderman 2 PS2, but I think they chose not to add a ton of stuff and make it complicated for the casual player base. Plus SM2018 was a big project, so everything other than that probably took a ton of work.

[@FireStarJutsu]

@snowpuddle9622 Carrying momentum is part of Physics right? The game isn't 100% physics based or it will be way to hard, but he just means the 360

[@onesmileybaldy8303]

The fact that you can do stuff like this in a spider man game is still insane to me,this is exactly how I always pictured Spider Man roaming around the city,and now you can be him doing all these crazy movements.

[@FireStarJutsu]

I think we can phrase it in having a portion of the creativity & freedom in movement that the actual Spider-Man has. There are also some small things here and there that I learned later on, I wish I knew them when making the video to make it the complete SM2 Improved Movement package, but anyway the traversal feels amazing!

[@BobbyBharat69]

This is I guess the true momentum spiderman deserved

[@lucascamelo3079]

still not there, but indeed a big improvement over 2018

[@HogDaddyJ]

Now this is the video I was looking for. Finally someone who understands how to make the swinging look something completely different.

[@crashpal]

There are so many more animations we are unaware of. Like Peter doing a Tony hawk air skater pose.

[@HydroniVEVO]

So happy Peter transitions smoothly from tricks back into swinging now. Miles did it in his game and it made the original feel a bit clunky for my liking.

[@FireStarJutsu]

We were all waiting for Miles's swinging treatment to be applied to Peter in SM2, and it's finally here looking greater than ever.

[@venture7486]

Miles still has the better web-zip animations, plus he has an air dodge to swing transition that he can do during swinging that Peter still doesn’t have.

[@FireStarJutsu]

@@venture7486 I honestly will agree with you. Miles can do a web-zip upside-down and it looks so smooth and as you said he has a specific animation for swinging after a side dodge, which both Peter doesn't have. Though the new animations of Peter are awesome ngl, but I wish it was truly the full package.

[@apolloAF]

And on top of that miles has two different diving positions that both have different tricks. Miles just has more in depth swinging I feel like.

[@apolloAF]

Imo, I think it would have been cool for Pete to have a reverse dive animation. I get that it’s just a miles thing for reasons but still petes swinging would rival miles at least.

[@duckyduck4444]

honestly after completing the game i would say that so far is the best thing I've ever played on any console, the level of joy this game gave me is indescribable, if not the upcoming gta 6 i would honestly put this game into a nominomination for game of the decade (i know such nominomination dose not exist) but really no upcoming game this year has even a chance competing with this game for the GOTY, Marvel's Spider Man 2 is a example of a true game of the year edit: for all those under the comments getting crazy over the fact that i said that this is the game of the decade: i obviously know that it is not a game of the decade what i tried to say is that the level of joy that this game gave me on my first run felt like if it was a game of the decade, and that's only on the first run, I'm now currently continuing playing the game after competing the story and i wanna say that the heated emotions that this game gave me on my first 30 hours of play kinda cooled down a bit and actually more than that i now found some things that im not so happy about, like the fact that there is absolutely no way to change the time of the day and also that there is actually way more coming back suits than new ones and some colored variations of the same suits look just ridiculous, aside from all that the game is still fun i just hope that in a future updates i will be able to change the time of the day/possibility weather, and yes it is definitely a GOTY, period.

[@FireStarJutsu]

I have yet to complete it, but I can't really say game of the year myself, as my personal enjoyment is bias towards this game. I can stay swinging without doing anything else and still have fun. Plus I haven't played other big games of the year like Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Final Fantasy 16, Baldur's Gate 3 or Resident Evil 4 Remake. But that aside, I'm sure as hell enjoying the game so far, and it's everything I wanted.

Thanks! That was exactly my intension when making this video, so I appreciate it. Sadly I haven't played Spider-Man 2 on the PS2, actually as I kid I was unlucky enough to have the horrendous PC version 😭 Other than the PS2 game, I've nearly played every Spider-man game since the 2000.

[@Ismatic1906]

Honestly you may have convinced me to buy this game with this video alone, I was pretty scared this game was going to lack some of the substance that made me enjoy the predecessors to this franchise but it seems that they finally took off the training wheels.

[@FireStarJutsu]

I won't say it's 100% like Spider-man 2 on ps2, but with Swing Assist set to 0, you do have to pay attention to the swinging momentum, and also to your height, because you can actually hit the ground if you're not high enough. Plus, I genuinely really liked the story of Spiderman 2018, and Spider-man 2 I haven't finished yet, but the story so far is very intriguing and exciting. I love how Insomniac are making their own take on the story, and they're doing a hell of a job! So if you like Spider-Man stories in general, I highly recommend these two games if you haven't played them. I know graphics isn't the most important thing, but I swear videos of these games don't do them justice at all... When you actually see it IRL, the game looks nothing short of breathtaking. Especially at certain times of day, like sunset and night with a moon.

[@Ismatic1906]

@@FireStarJutsu Yeah it seemed pretty different from Spider-Man 2 but I'll try it out in person. I found the previous games kind of weak in terms of narrative, mostly because they can never get corporate entities right (Roxxon surrounds Miles even though he's fought armed opponents constantly), but this game doesn't have those so I'm excited for that. On the graphics side, yeah I have to agree, I've always found this game ugly when looking at it on youtube but that happens with a lot of games so I'm used to it. I remember think Pokemon Legends was ugly until I played it myself (it had some ugly parts though).

@Ismatic1906 In terms of story don't remind me of Miles Morales 🗿 But in terms of Spider-Man PS4 did you not like the story? It's ok if you didn't, but just curious

[@Ismatic1906]

@@FireStarJutsuEhhhh. It was alright, but I felt like Sable international were just awful. I was waiting to finally kick Silver Sable's ass the entire game but it never happened. I then bought the dlc, and this time I could actually fight back! I schocked her into a corner, used my spider-bots, and in the very next cut-scene Peter is pushed away like he's nothing, all that build up for nothing. Btw, this is coming from someone who found her charming in Ultimate Spider-Man. She's a horrible rival in my eyes. Another problem I had was MJ, she complains about "not being glass" when she just barged into a military camp where she might as well should be. And then she complains, because Peter tries to save her from getting shot. He doesn't even hit Charlie or anything, he just falls over (I'm certain this scene played out differently but some corporate jerk changed it for no good reason). I hate these moments, not because Peter loses, but instead, because they're contrived. Peter should be punished for specifically doing the wrong thing but every time the story adresses him in a manner that implies he did something wrong, he hasn't. The game still feels genuine with its core emotional moments but it feels like they hadn't thought about the ways in which a writer should treat character flaws. Peter doesn't feel like he genuinely overcomes his weaknesses and in turn feels stagnant. The story is still fun though lmao

[@FireStarJutsu]

@Ismatic1906 I see, yeah I remember the MJ scene, I was like come on man hahaha. But that and Silver Sable are a small portion in the grandscheme of things. I liked the first half with the bulld-up to Mr. Negative, and also with Peter and Doc Ock's relationship, and the second half with the Sinister Six. To be able to pull all that off in one game and the studio doing a Spider-man game for the first time is just awesome. I do have gripes with the game, Stealth being so shallow, Combat really simple, weak side content. But overall it's awesome to have that game in the first place.

[@BiZkiDD2]

@@FireStarJutsu I get your point and I think it's a big oversight since you can run UP a wall. That being said however, I've always thought that sprinting up a wall looked super goofy, especially when you hit a wall at full speed and instead of sticking to it you just run up it like there's no gravity. I get that they probably made this decision allow you to get back to swinging as soon as possible if you made a mistake but I still think there are better ways to solve this problem, e.g. slingshotting yourself up once or a few times if it's a big building.

Still cant swing with two hands

[@davidlondon7631]

After watching the initial reveal trailer for SpiderMid 2 on the lamestation 5, my expectations soared. With the game set to launch on the PS5, I anticipated mind-blowing graphics and an unparalleled gaming experience. However, what we received was quite different - it seemed like copy-paste animations, graphics reminiscent of the PS4 era, and a combat system that felt all too familiar. It boiled down to repeatedly spamming one button for punches and kicks, with no nuanced counter mechanics or the breathtaking slow-motion Matrix-style sequences I had hoped for. Instead, there was merely parrying, and it made the game feel overly easy. I had yearned for a challenging adventure, something akin to the difficulty level found in God of War, where two hits could mean your demise. But alas, it felt like the game was tailored for casual gamers who happened to be Spider-Man fans. The absence of advanced web mechanics, the inability to swing with both hands, and the lack of signature moves like the iconic loopy loop from the earlier Spider-Man games were noticeable disappointments. The combat lacked the dynamism of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, where you could ride on opponents and execute impressive slow-motion web strikes. Furthermore, there was no wall combat or running down walls, which seemed like a missed opportunity for an otherwise promising title. It was disheartening to see such potential underutilized in the game's development, making me wonder if they could have pushed the boundaries further. As a fan, I found it challenging to reconcile my enthusiasm for Spider-Man with the reality of the game. Comparatively, Batman Arkham Knight offered superior gameplay, graphics, and overall gaming experience. It felt like I was inadvertently being a biased fanboy. However, it's worth noting that with the advent of PC mods, the game might eventually become more enjoyable, even with its current graphical limitations. Upgrading my monitor to 4K and incorporating graphic, web, combat, difficulty, suit, and gadget mods could potentially breathe new life into the experience. Another issue that gnawed at me was the voice actor for Miles Morales. His high-pitched, squeaky voice was grating and disruptive. It made me yearn for a more fitting voice that would enhance the story and dialogue. Perhaps they could have invested in a voice actor who resembled Miles and exhibited a more mature tone, similar to what we saw in the animated feature "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." Such a change could have vastly improved the overall immersion in the game. I had heard buzz about the game, with claims like "you won't be able to tell the difference between cutscenes and gameplay." Frankly, it felt like marketing tactics designed to build hype, rather than a genuine reflection of the game's visual quality. My expectation was to witness graphics on par with God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn, fully leveraging the capabilities of the PS5. To my dismay, the reality fell short of my expectations. It's absolutely embarrassing how it's the same animations combos, swing animations, takedown animations,😂😂😂 It's crazy how I waited so long and I bought a PS5 and once I saw that initial reveal trailer I saw that the combat was unchanged. The same five hit combos, the same dodging moves, the combat speed is way too slow. You have to speed it up like the Arkham games. It was fun because he punched super quickly and you felt the blow up every punch. The sound effects sounded like gunshots that's what made it interesting. In this game with the power of the PS5 you could have increased the combat speed a bit more. You were too lazy to add new combat animations. That's just pure laziness. Sony focus mostly on story didn't give a shit about refining the gameplay. The symbiote is so weak compared to Web of shadows. The combat is way better there. The combat is lacking here I think this is the worst Spider-Man game in terms of combat. In the last 10 years😂😂 It's unbelievable and in certain cutscenes it looks like a PS4😂😂😂 power of the PS5 my ass😂 now that I know what I'm expecting the next game is about to be the exact same😂😂 I'm not expecting anything different nothing revolutionary at all. I know I put my hopes up way too high only to get disappointed once again. This is a joke of a franchise if Rocksteady, rockstar, sucker punch, Santa Monica made this game the graphics gameplay would have been a billion times better instead of focusing on story the story ain't even all that. Only thing Sony cares about is selling as much copies they don't care about nothing else that's why God of war had the same exact gameplay nothing changed only added a weapon didn't do anything different like stealth gameplay, jumping mechanics anything different to mix up the monotony of the shitty boring story.😂 The actual fact that the symbiote has the same exact moveset of the red suit is absolutely mind-boggling. They have web of shadows the best Spider-Man game with the best combat as a reference all they got to do is copy paste those animations It's not that hard pal. If you compare side by side Spider-Man PS5 combos animations combat versus Web of shadows is a clear difference. It's like it doesn't take that long to do as well. I don't understand why they just decided to ignore it. It doesn't make any sense. The combat is essential for a game where all you do is punch people swing around chase people web them up do the same thing over and over again like the fact that he punches the exact same way the combos are the exact same way is making no sense I can't explain it I don't understand cuz I really have no idea what to say I'm speechless. People be waiting 5 years for copy paste. But what's this budget even for them? The voice actors, animators, writers, advertising, etc.. It just makes me sick to my stomach because it's not worth buying a PS5 for just one game You got to be stupid if you decide it's a good purchase. I swear to God I predicted that the Metacritic rating would be a 91. And lo and behold it is a 91 but with Web of shadows combat it would be a 95 100% guaranteed. With this shitty ass combat it somehow got 91. With all these glazes talking about it's the the best super game ever. Nope Arkham Batman still got that shit. Better combat story, dialogue, bosses,. Spider-Man got better graphics sort of? It's actually looks like shit It's a PS5 game but it still looks bad I don't know why. So you can't even say it's the best. But still I hate miles morale's voice so much I'm going to keep saying it It's so annoying don't talk anymore. Spiderman punches way too slowly. They should've upped the combat speed. He's superhuman for real. Just look at Arkham Knight and how fast it is. Just copy their speed It's not that hard y'all just weird I want to face the face conversation with the guy who's the combat director. He's out of his mind. You telling me she's only in the game for 9 minutes and no symbiote Peter and Felicia interaction that's why I sold my ps5 it's because of how mid this game is. I don't know how people are giving it hundreds on Metacritic like are you serious? It's a max a 7/10 seriously it's not good It's average average to below average combat above average story/ dialogue below average graphics for PS5. Voice acting for miles morales is a one out of 10. Side content is garbage. Reused swing animations, combat, everything was reused. This is not a fully fledged sequel it's basically a big deal see I don't care what anybody thinks this game is mid mid mid You telling me you didn't even add the ability to do wall combat? Running down walls is still not possible? What is the hardware so trash? Is that Sony budget not enough You can't add simple ass things People can do in mods. This is a joke.

Also I hate the fact that every time he webs up something at the enemy he always does this stupid ass thing where he twirls it in the air. My boy just web up like a trash bin lift it up in the air with one arm and just move your arm towards the enemy to throw it in their direction. Stop doing this long ass spinning nonsense every single time you want to throw something for example a bicycle a trash can some boxes like why the hell do these people think it's okay to just have the same simple reused animation with nothing to offer no flare no slow motion effects nothing cool no particle effects. Nothing to make it stand out because it's the same thing over and over again you can't think of just changing the animations just a few times? Like it gets monotonous the first time you do it because it's not rewarding like you literally just not throwing it fast enough not enough emphasis it takes too long to it's like why even take that long Just copy paste web of shadows combat animations, copy everything from that copy to slow motion web strike to a jump off of enemies. Wall combat obviously. The ability to make web parachutes my boy you copied the slingshot, the charge jump, but you can't copy a day and night cycle, switching between your red suit and your symbiote suit on the fly you decide to make it a suit power so it would lose its effect because you used to symbiote powers on everything. It appears that we might have to wait for future console generations, like the PS10, to witness Marvel's Spider-Man truly achieve commercial trailer-level graphics. The current state of the game, while not without its merits, leaves much to be desired, and it's a reminder that even beloved franchises can sometimes fall short of our expectations.

[@davidlondon7631]

Dumbest thing that they could have done was add silk in the game. They literally could have made Peter Parker fall in love with black cat and then in the sequel have black cat as a playable character and it would have made for a million times better story for Spider-Man 3. You have a female character who's actually useful who can protect herself from evil people she can actually help during combat. She actually has super powers I mean why even have a regular girlfriend if you're just superhuman? Where's the fun in that? You're telling me I have to look after her like she's some type of child? Always trying to prove that she's capable of somehow saving the day even though she has no combat experience, is naive, annoying, just average at best. You're a superhero but yet you're still broke You still go for average looking girls she's not even a model like in the comics. She's really unattractive The combat would have been way better since it's not another person who has spider powers It's a different type of person with a different move set, abilities, better personality like a hundred times better personality as well. You won't have to dread the day where you have to do black cat missions, she can rizz up random criminals too that was made for some interesting and funny dialogue and banter. Overall, insomniac is not know what they're doing and they got the most cliche boring story possible but they could have done way more but I guess Marvel's just soft as hell they don't want that little he's a bad guy how could you go with black cat she's way better looking, more interesting, just offers way more flare, pizzazz, something that the that game is missing.

wingsuit is kinda dumb

Honestly using it in the actual game feels way way better than what I expected from seeing it in the trailer. You have to try it to give your true take on it. And even then if you don't like it, it's optional 🫡

Well you do know that spiderman has web-armpits in the comics right

[@FireStarJutsu]

@NuclearSorrow A lot of people don't, actually.

[@FireStarJutsu]

You can go at insane speeds in this game and it genuinely feels amazing. When I saw the web-wings in the trailer, I wasn't sure what to feel about them, but playing with them is so much fun, they nailed how they're integrated into the swinging rather than being able to depend solely on them. Well done Insomniac!

[@FunnyRedemption]

My favorite thing to do is build up speed and glide between buildings going left and right at insane speed. It feels like a movie.

[@Vert-LIVE]

I still remember being in awe of the first game, where the street was just a fog and you'd die if you went too far down. Amazing how far these games have come, I also remember the first time we were able to swing on street level. This is amazing!

[@slayrix279]

You could go so much faster if you used the air dash/jump, like doubles your speed and you can keep replenishing it by doing air tricks

[@FireStarJutsu]

I didn't want to show it off, to avoid spoilers for people.

[@tontsar91]

This is the best movement I have ever seen in a videogame, bar none.

[@FireStarJutsu]

And this is not even "everything" you can do, plus not fully upgraded in terms of swing speed and such. As someone who played it, it is one of the most, if not the most traversal system in any videogame.

[@samhamilton6571]

This actually blew me away. Seeing the 360 swing and 180 momentum transfer is goddamn awesome compared to the original. I'm going to have so much fun playing this

[@mehface]

you need to turn off swing assist fyi

[@sumbohdee406]

@@mehface to get full momentum you can have swing assist on any value. Swing assist just helps you stay off the ground and keeps your pathing straight so you don't steer into buildings like you would in real life, I recommend 1-3

[@FireStarJutsu]

@@mehface I don't think you "have" to turn off swing assist to pull off those moves, but I started the game with 0-1 swing assist so I haven't experimented that much.

The traversal is great, but you somehow make it look better! My guess is a mix of good gameplay and 0 swing assist?

[@FireStarJutsu]

I did play Spider-ManPS4 & Miles Morales a lot and I love opening them from time to time and just swinging. And yes, you are correct, this is with 0 swing assist, but I also do generally love making my swinging look as smooth & cool as possible, that's just how I like to play. Thanks! 🤍🫡

[@shredderpunk]

When all the commercials were coming out, I thought that the wing suit was lame. Boy was I wrong

I kind had the exact same feeling! And it genuinely feels nice when you actually try the game, and realize how smooth it is and how you can combine it with normal swinging!

Well this video in particular was trying to show some of the max momentum you can get & new ways of traversal.

[@kadz8674]

This is 🔥🔥 I see a lot of comments takking about web assisting What does it mean ? Never played the insomniac Spiderman games😅

[@FireStarJutsu]

Think of it like "aim-assist", but for swinging. In this game they added a slider, to adjust how much assist do you want while swinging. Setting the slider all the way down to 0 (disabling swing assist) will make the swinging a lot more physics based, so for example one of the things that happens is when you attach the web to a building, you'll be pulled towards that building unless you sorta "counter steer" it if you get what I mean. That doesn't happen with 10/10 Swing assist (the default) and you can keep swinging in a straight line, and you're way less prone to messing up the swing, it's more forgiving.

[@expo6877]

@@FireStarJutsucombat is still garbage and too easy

[@FireStarJutsu]

@@expo6877 To be honest, because I knew the game is kinda easy, I started my playthrough on the hardest difficulty you can start with (Spectacular), and I gotta say the enemies in this one are more aggressive, and there are attacks you can't dodge, but have to parry. Also a couple of enemies have retaliation attacks, so I actually kept getting hit and had to heal a bunch of times in this one. A year or two ago, I realized we who like games to not be easy, and actually think about that, shouldn't play on Normal for most games unless the game is famously hard like "Ninja Gaiden" for example. So I started playing all the games I got on hard and honestly it made games a lot more fun. Plus I realized... god the developers almost always give the description of hard as "For those looking for more challenging combat" or something along the lines, but we still pick normal hahaha Edit: I know games must be balanced and what not, but also in terms of Spider-Man, most of the audience doesn't really care about difficulty, so normal must not be "that" challenging, because it's catered to the general audience. Gotta pick hard on that one.

[@FireStarJutsu]

What do you exactly mean by "indoor"?

[@RoLliNgPaP3rS]

@FireStarJutsu when spiderman will alternate hands quickly when web swinging. Think this was used in games like ultimate alliance. Hard to explain

[@FireStarJutsu]

@RoLliNgPaP3rS Nah I get the different hands, but didn't understand Indoors. If you want to make spidey alternate hands, you can kinda do this in this game, if you aim where you want to swing from before holding the R2, you can do: Forward-Left R2, F-Right R2, F-Left R2, F-Right R2, etc. I know that's not like having L2 for left and R2 for right, but I think they decided most casual players wouldn't really care about two buttons for swinging. And most people who played SM2018 didn't infact.
