In this lengthy video, I comment on every aspect of Spiderman: Web of Shadows, one of my favourite games out there. This game is extremely special to me, and there's no better time to cover it than before the release of Insomniac's incredible looking Spiderman PS4.
Massive thanks to ChimeraInASuit who generously redesigned my thumbnails, and did it for this video too, which looks utterly incredible. On top of that, the new intro is their handiwork.

It's September 12th and the comments are black and white. One side thinks this game is an underrated gem, and the other thinks I give it too much credit. That's not a problem, but it is very interesting. I think the reason opinion on this game is so divided is that it's extremely unconventional. It's rare for a story to be upheld by characters and world, and it's rarer still for a narrative to throw you into (some say repetitive) gameplay so often with so few cutscenes. There's little downtime in this game, I liked that, but I can see many people would've preferred a more fleshed out way of telling the story. Really, it depends on what you value in video games. I'm working on the Spiderman PS4 video right now btw.

Kira, I love shattered dimensions. I really want to make a video on it and Ultimate, but I don't know when I'll get around to it. I also haven't finished Ultimate. I thought that the Amazing Spiderman 1 was a very good game. Really underrated. Amazing Spiderman 2 though sucked. I can see why you'd think those games had strengths that were used in Spiderman PS4. Though I'm not seeing anything from Ultimate tbh. It took the stealth from shattered dimensions, although, shattered dimensions pioneered the system that was used in both Amazing Spiderman games too.

Just thought I'd bring up an interesting detail about Vulture in this game. If you talk to Kingpin after your first encounter with the flying Symbiotes (I don't know if it works immediately afterwards), you'll have a dialogue prompt of talking about Vulture. Basically, Kingpin will ask if Adrian Toomes has ever come across as a bit strange to Spiderman, who responds by pointing out that he is an old man who flies around, trying to kill him in a bird costume, then asks for clarification that the Kingpin is asking about abnormal behaviour from the person he just described. Kingpin goes on to tell him that Vulture had gone missing recently, and that the last time they spoke with each other, he seemed a bit...off. Spiderman acknowledges this and agrees to keep an eye out for him acting stranger than usual (implying that Symbiote Vulture was a thing for much longer than the game explicitly let on).

You can boost off a swing and get RIDICULIUS range off it, easily passing whole blocks if done right Seriously try it it's fun as fuck to experiment with!

Actually, they reused a lot of the assets from Spider-man 3 (just compare both Spider-man models) and the game is more than 10 years older, and is far below the bar for this generation's quality. All in all, it's impressive work for Shaba, and the extra time would've helped smooth out the game, but it wouldn't have been as much of a game changer as you'd think, and four years would've been overkill. Don't get me wrong, though. The quality of this game is very impressive, especially as one of the first games of the generation, and Shaba deserved praise, not to be closed down. Even still, Insomniac were just as impressive and creative, and deserve the same amount of appreciation.

There actually was a planned sequel to Spider-Man Web of Shadows, developed by Shaba Games. Here's what I've been able to find: "Spider-Man Classic is the cancelled sequel to Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. It featured Spider-Man and Wolverine teaming up to fight new villains such as Carnage and Mysterio. The game was set to have Spidey fans traveling through some of Spider-Man's most exciting, classic villian fights from the comics, the artist notes that it would have been "told in panel-by-panel faithfulness to the original comic". It was cancelled because Shaba Games, the studio behind Web of Shadows, closed their doors back in 2009 which lead to all their current video game projects to be terminated, including Spider-Man Classic. It was replaced with 2010's Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, which fans considered a indirect sequel to Web of Shadows."

I loved this game, it's a shame Shaba didn't get a chance to make a sequel. The combat was fantastic and incredibly addictive. The movement was quick but each attack had a nice, heavy feel which was very satisfying. When God of War 3 came out one of the developers referenced Web of Shadows as the inspiration for some of its new combat mechanics. Yeah, the city can be drab but once you get past that it's a blast. The web swinging, wall crawling and parkour elements felt great as well and as the video mentions the character models looked awesome. I know the devs asked for more time to polish it up but Sony was firm with their deadlines. Had they gotten an extension maybe they could have fleshed the world out a bit more. I think that would have went a long way towards changing people's general perspective of the game.

Guillaume Tizon I disagree. Even in the MCU, Thanos is too durable. He literally shrugs off a spaceship crashing into him and a building dropped on him hard enough to produce a shockwave. He’s at least on-par with MCU Hulk, who can kill gigantic space whales in a single hit. Heck, we tore apart Tony’s armour like it was tin foil, and that thing took a meteor with barely a scratch. WOS Peter is strong, but not ‘kill a multi thousand ton space whale with one punch’ strong. He’s tough, but not not ‘take a giant meteor without a scratch’ tough. His biggest advantages are his agility, webbing and his spider-sense - but frankly I don’t think that’s enough. Dodging and weaving will and landing attacks when he can will only get him so far. Besides, that’s only using MCU versions which are relatively grounded in their abilities. Comic Thanos has way more superpowers, energy blasts, mind control, even magic - he has forcefields that can make Galactus exert himself. He laughs off guys who can shatter moons or destroy planets, and beats their asses. Comic Spidey is a lot stronger than most, but his best strength feats are supporting a section of a building or supporting a plane on his back. He can’t beat Thanos. He’s failed to beat people like him before. - Fights as hard as he can against Hulk, trying to save MJ, but to no avail: m.imgur.com/a/vV2hx - Barely hurts Angrir (aka the Thing) - m.imgur.com/a/Vg1Gk1m when he’s pushing his limits, but Thor later kills him with ease: m.imgur.com/a/DFxOJ7k - Doesn’t faze Juggernaut, doesn’t even budge him - m.imgur.com/wsQwPfM Spidey beating guys like Firelord? A Herald of Galactus (still below Thanos, who beats Silver Surfer regularly)? That’s bad writing, unless you want to argue Spidey is planetary. He can’t beat these guys in a fair one on one fight, not without backup, extra technology, or a shit ton of bad writing. I love Spidey, he’s my favourite superhero, but while he’s used to fighting people who outclass him, that only gets him so far. He’s definitely powerful, a lot more than most of his rogues, but he lives in a world full of super powered people, and there are plenty outside his league - but he’s the underdog we root for.
@naingmon
@naingmon 4 жыл бұрын
Robbie Drake Spider-Man beating Firelord is one of the most infamous examples of bad writing within the comic community. In that fight Firelord somehow loses Spidey’s location, despite his cosmic awareness. Firelord’s been hit to a moon and he fights on par with guys like Silver Surfer. Spidey has trouble lifting a single section of the Daily Bugle - really impressive, but several orders of magnitude behind what these guys can do. No amount of Parker punches - enraged or not - should be able to KO the guy. I really shouldn’t have to explain why beating Firelord is silly. And sure, he beat Juggernaut, but by your own admission it was by tricking him into cement. Physically he couldn’t hurt him. Pete’s victory was entirely dependent on the environment and Juggernaut’s stupidity in that moment - it’s not something that can be relied on it most matchups, and Juggernaut wasn’t even trying to fight Spidey that badly. In 99% of fights, Juggs takes Spidey easily. And punching away the Thing doesn’t mean he can beat him. He’s not immovable. And Pete literally says that he can’t beat Thing: comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/8/80103/2226655-angrirvsspiderman3.jpg (Second panel, top left; ‘I can’t go toe-to-toe with the Thing on his worst day’) You say it’s misleading because Spider-Man was hurt, but you realise that he’s hurt worst _because_ of that fight right? He got hit twice in that fight and he’s in that bad a state. He was tired before that, sure, but after that hit he says his chest was on fire and says he can’t survive a second hit. Heck, he hurts his hand just hitting him. Quite frankly it’s amazing Spidey did as well as he did. Thing was stronger here, but he was still way less powerful than Thor, who is way less powerful than Thanos (all referring to 616 here). For the record, I love Spidey: he has an indomitable will, he puts others before himself and fights crime even (and especially) when it’s inconvenient for him, his social life and his relationship with others - he’s a fantastic character. Still, acting as though he’s capable of beating Ben Grimm is disingenuous. He’s way stronger than guys like Cap, but he’s not Ben Grimm strong. He’s in between the usual street tiers and the heavy hitters, definitely not on-par with top-tiers or above.

Seems like most people don't understand the point in the choice system. In general, the point is indeed to alter the story, but the true purpose of this system is to align yourself with "hero" or "villian" allies. Choosing red or black choice will have your alignment meter fully one-sided. It can be altered with time by playing with the opposite suit as you mentioned in your video. That's why some choices don't really matter to the story or even makes things confusing: - The choices against Vulture: Red choice means you're doing the right thing by leaving him to the police to handle. Black choice means Spidey is scaring Vulture to the point he agrees to fight alongside you. - After defeating Symbiote Electro, choosing red means he too exhausted to fight (perhaps dead?). Choosing red means Electro is mad about the symbiotes as Spidey and is willing to fight alongside him. - Ripping/not ripping Wolvering means the same. It doesn't mean much to the story as it does to the ally feature. Other choices make more sense and still fit to the hero/villian allies aspect. The above cases and some others are there only for the sake of changing your alignment meter. BTW, let's say you chose not to free Rhino but later in the story you're aligned to the black side, you can still summon him as an ally. Brilliant, isn't it?! This comment is far too long already so I won't talk about the other aspect of the game.
@Whitelight
@Whitelight 5 жыл бұрын
Allies weren't even in the wii version. I disagree with this being the true purpose of the suit system. I don't think the intention was to align yourself with allies, I think that's a side effect of the choices having alignment effects. What you said about being able to summon allies who you pissed off makes sense though.
@shtrudel9498
@shtrudel9498 5 жыл бұрын
After I posted this, I realized "true purpose" is not the best wording. Still, I feel like the intention was to show how your choices affect gameplay itself and not just the story. And again, sometimes they prioritize grouping you with the correct side of the ally over making sense story-wise. And yes, I'm aware that there arn't allies in the Wii version at all, I even mentioned that in my early draft but forgot to include that in the final post.

While they are similar, with being superhero open world games with a infection apocaliptic scenario, they are still very differenti beasts... Prototype is much more brutal and combat centric ( wos is more combat centric compared to other spiderman games, sure, but not "dedicated" to it's mayham). For example in prototype most if not all "weapons" allow you to slaughter low level cannon fodder without much problems. It also give more combat variety with "stealth lite" scenarios and the ability to drive tanks and helicopter. Prototype also is more violent and deliberate in its design, putting you in the shoes of what would be a "villan" in any other game (you have to "devour" people to heal and\or take their appereance). Wos instead suffers from what most spiderman games (and super hero games in general) suffer... Repetivity and a imposed playstile...

Spiderman Web of Shadows and Prototype are basically the same game. The similarities I’ve noticed are pretty crazy. Straight off the bat, they’re both developed by now closed down subsidiaries of activision, both were published by activision too. Both games are about a superhero with highly destructive powers fighting back an infection, and in both games, the second half is when the city has completely gone to shit. Both games have superheroes who’s most notable abilities revolve around their manipulation of biomass. Both games start with a prologue at the height of the infection, both games are set in manhattan, both games end on an aircraft carrier, both games are about the way power changes you, both games star massive edgelords, both games were released only a year apart. I honestly can’t believe that all of this was a coincidence.

Guillaume Tizon I don’t really agree. Even in the MCU, Thanos is just too durable - he took buildings dropped on him hard enough to cause a shockwave, without a scratch. In terms of raw strength he outboxes the Hulk who one-shot a gigantic space whale. He crushed Vision’s vibranium forehead with two fingers, and tore apart Tony’s suit - which literally took a gigantic meteor with virtually no damage - with ease. WOS Peter is way faster, and certainly rather powerful - Thanos will be hard pressed to hit him, but every time Peter gets close he risks it. Everything he does is certainly impressive, but I really don’t think it’s enough to actually KO him. And obviously with the stones, Thanos wins. Not much Peter can do if he decides to just phase him into the ground (Hulkbuster Banner) - there’s no leverage - or he can just turn him into stone (Drax) or toss a moon or create a black hole or whatever. Peter doesn’t have the capabilities to deal with something like that, nor is he good enough to disarm the guy; too much raw strength, the Avengers only succeeded with a whole team + armour strong enough to lift buildings + their own Spidey + space technology + magic + mind control. And that’s just the MCU, where the characters are (relatively) more grounded in their abilities. If we go into the comics it’s a shitstomp. Sure, comic Spidey is strong - he lifts train cars, supported a plane on his back and even supported a building - or one section of it anyway. He can weave through automatic gunfire like nothing, survive massive explosions, and his webbing can hold up skyscrapers. His spider-sense is pretty insane and his agility is off the charts. But Thanos laughs off guys who can shatter moons and planets. And in the comics he doesn’t just have his fists. He can mind control people, fire energy blasts, is decently versed in magic, has forcefields that can withstand attacks from Galactus and regularly defeats entire teams of superheroes, including guys well outside Spidey’s league. There’s the time Peter defeated Firelord, but frankly that’s just bad writing. Unless you want to argue that Spidey is planetary, no number of punches should bring him down, I love Spidey - he’s my favourite superhero. But although he’s super powerful, in some cases he’s just outclassed - not that it’d stop him from trying mind you.

It's weird to think that people were divided on the web swinging in this game. I personally think it's the best and most rewarding (aside from PS4), and I thought everyone at least agreed on that. Shows what I know. I absolutely love this game. Flaws and all. And you can't help but laugh at some of the flaws it has: the overacting from nasally Peter Parker, the amazingly goofy glitches, the dark and edgy story, the fact that you can pummel an ordinary dude to death and get away with it, kicking a car and witnessing the physics engine have a mental breakdown, it's all great stuff and so much fun. This is still my favorite Spidey game, aside from PS4. If for no other reason than the fact that it shows a much more capable and confident Spider-Man, with agility and acrobatics not seen before until that point, with a combat system that is still the best when it comes to switching between the black and red suit and attacking on the walls, in the air, or on the ground.

For once, the Wii version was the exact same as it's console counterparts (with a few graphical and controller downgrades). It also had the added bonus of Spider-Tokens unlocking different exclusive suits (a Wii only feature, unless you can mod the PC version), including a Spider-Carnage replacement for the BlackSuit. I really liked seeing the small selection of alt-costumes on the Web Of Shadows Spider-Man in game model. The more angular and skinny art design on Spider-Man himself made the suits look really cool .

the combat system in SMPS4 is very generic when you consider how many games its ripping mechanics out of. Arkham obviously pioneered the system, and while SMPS4 makes Spidey more of a dodger than a counter attacker, they never were able to shed the idea that the combat was just Arkham or Shadow Of War but worse in many ways. Shadow of Mordor and War outshines the generic combat with their Nemesis systems, Mad Max has its setting and vehicular combat to break up the combat, and Arkham again, invented the combat system as a whole. SMPS4 outside of its combat only has a passable swing system. it felt good to explore for the duration of the game but swinging is lacking in depth. ive only started playing Web of Shadows today after downloading it off an abandonware site and like it better than SMPS4 already. SMPS4's advantage is mainly having Yuri Lowenthal as Spider-man and Laura Bailey as MJ, making those characters so much more fun and relatable than they are in Web of Shadows.

I do switch between the Red and Black suits in combat, but my primary style takes full advantage of the Red Suit’s speed over the power based moves used by the Black Suit... there was always something so satisfying about going the Red suit path and then getting so good at using the Red Suit that it legitimately feels like you won the fight mostly using your own strength rather than the symbiote’s.... and when I DO use the Black Suit it is tempting to keep using it... such a great game in general.

I remember watching this back before ps4 spidey came out and came back to watch it again. I feel like other than the obvious improvements PS4 spidey didn't really live up to the kind of swinging and combat web of shadows had. I am to this day in love with the swinging mechanics in web of shadows, PS4 spidey swinging of course looks and handles better but it always felt like flying with extra steps. WOS swinging had weight, you could mess up and splat on the floor or the walls, you could pick height over speed, you could swing around buildings and so forth. Combat feels more spiderman with a spidersense counter yes - but theres something simply magical about zipping to and kicking bad guys in the face one by one, picking up the last guy and physically attaching him to the wall. PS4 is also devoid of air combat unless its a boss. If I could get a combination of WOS and PS4 combat that would be magical. Miles Morales combat added some fun new additions but I still felt somewhat limited. PS4 looks prettier and captures a lot of the main points of spidey but WoS gives us way more expression capability.

Every roll of the credits i would long for a sequel, the twinkle of symbiote Rhino or Lizard or anyone in my eye, and it's a damn shame they never got the recognition they should have. Thanks for this'n, mista Light.

This game was a underrated gem that did something I didn't expect, but really loved. I never thought I'd ever play as a black suit spiderman kicking ass like a psychopath. This game needs a remastering or a remake BAD.

For the longest time this was my favourite Spider-Man game. And I agree: A remaster or a Insomniac version of this game would be INCREDIBLE. But hey, symbiote will be in their next Spider-Man game, so we can dream

I 100% agree with you at 40:45 the feeling of being alone and no one can help me, when does it stop, and that all hell is lose and being in all this chaos is just that eerie feeling that makes this game diffident, dark and serious, it really puts itself away from other Spider-Man games. Love the video you explained every reason why I love this game.

8:56 That's actually wrong! You can slide over the car really easily by holding 'E' as that is the button to do most of the parkour stuff. If you are holding 'E' while running at a car he immediately slides over it. And if you hold 'E' near a pole or a traffic light pole and you keep holding it, Spider-man slows down and then perches on them, looking really cool. Really nice video btw! I am binging most of your critiques due to quarantine!

Sic Semper Beats actually I did. The second one was better but it’s not saying much. It looked pretty sure. But the city was lifeless but barley any Content. A couple of the same repetitive side missions. And there’s a point where you can actually finish them all and you don’t get anymore. Then you’re left just left to only swing unless you start a new game. Also the stories sucked

Allie Boy the fact that you said the 2nd one was better just proved you didn’t play the games. The second one was way worse than the first, it was universally panned and they took out a lot of features that was in the first one and it had a simpler story. The story in the first amazing Spider-Man game wasn’t bad and the dialogue was actually entertaining and funny. Go play the first game and comeback and talk.

Sic Semper Beats I already did the web swinging was terrible which is where a lot of the fun comes for me and a lot of people. He does the same swing animation with the same hand also. And he looked super imposed over NYC. Like camera was so close that he looked bigger than the buildings. The second game improved on this making him look smaller than the city and the camera farther out. Also web swinging was better. The webs actually stuck to the sides of buildings, there were more animations and he used BOTH arms depending on what side you were swinging to. Also side missions were a little better. But the games are rather dull.

Thank you for giving this game the credit it deserves. I remember loving it back in ’08 yet seeing all the negativity it was getting from “reviewers” like IGN. This is my favorite Spider-Man game hands down (although I have yet to play PS4 Spider-Man). Really the only negatives are Spideys voice, the choice and “morality” system, and the repetitive missions you had to do to progress the story. Great review man! Keep it up!

This game blew my mind when I was an edgy 14 year-old, and it still holds up for what it is. I cant really summarize why, but I think this game and Spider-man 2 in its own right have a charm that's missing from the clean-cut Insomniac title. In particular I love the relaxed low-key mood of Spider-man 2 and how the different super-villains have their own completely separate stories unrelated to the main plot

I remember this was the first legitimate game I got. In India back then games were hilariously expensive, and for a low income household like ours, buying real games was out of the question. Despite that my father bought it for me, and after I realized it required a "video card" to play, I cried. And the very next day, my father bought a graphics card too, a Gigabyte 8400GS. I cant stress enough, how big of a financial undertaking this was. My father bought me something well beyond our capabilities, just because I cried once. Ofc the gpu was to weak for the game, despite that I played it at 15 fps to completion. This game will forever be special to me. And just like Whitelight, its an incredible experience realizing that it was far better than I remembered.

Your videos are amazing man, and it's great to find someone with such in-depth critiques who loves super heroes. I'd love to see you do a review of Shattered Dimensions. If I ever feel like some combat (or stealth) focused Spidey gameplay it's easily my go-to, and even though I love Spidey PS4 (and hopefully will love Spidey 2 PS4 coming out in a few days) Shattered Dimensions was the Spidey game that I grew up with, and it'll always have a special place in my heart.
