Damn insomaniac spider man was going to be brutal by looking at the early combat gameplay

[@GavinIsNotOkay]

He already is ngl, bro is breaking people's necks and stuff with the finishers he pulls off

[@josemolina3858]

Yea but the 4 hit combo is boring, i want to break goons with enfinite combos ​@GavinIsNotOkay

[@thejournalist8091]

Peter and Miles are already really brutal. Their finishers would very much leave people in a vegetative state or just have them be dead. They throw trash bins, manholes, and weapons at 200 mph, they break all your ribs, they will leave you paralyzed or dead by kicking your neck, and more lol

[@rhetiq9989]

Looks more or less the same, only he punches more here

[@davidchittick6783]

Actually the brutal combat & blood should only be for the black suit. New York's Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man isn't brutal when it comes to combat like that. He usually just holds his punches.

The combat feels prett visceral, kind of like Wolverine with the closer camera and blood, feels like they just shifted towards Wolverine for that grittier style

I agree with the decision of removing the blood. Spider-Man isn’t meant to be some bloodthirsty maniac, unless he’s wearing the black suit.

The game is pegi 16, so blood wouldn't have been that surprising or repulsing. I think it's " gore " that would have not fit Spider-Man. But in Spider-Man 2, we could have seen more of that. I hope Venom is pegi 18. Not to be esgy or anything... just so that it allows more freedom and artistic choices.

[@knihsvmk]

This early footage spidey had so much more weight to him it seems. I kinda liked the more "grounded" approach, especially with the overall animations. Not that the final product is bad, not even close, just that these animations looked a lot more realistic in comparison

[@danielmontero8200]

From what I can tell, some of the finishers that you would normally press 🔺+🔴 with would've actually already been done in the combat itself without you having to press those 2 buttons I mentioned earlier. Also the blood splattering effect isn't a terrible idea, but in my opinion would only make sense if he's wearing the symbiote suit. Regular Spidey isn't unhinged, so I'm glad that idea got disregarded. But I'm extremely bummed out that the TASM 1 crane move never made it into the final release. That could've easily been implemented in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, as well as the blood splatter effect only when using the symbiote suit.

[@DanialDEcool]

I think this is a direct port from the TASM games where you would press Circle to do a signature move (literally a finisher)

[@danielwood6833]

I mean blood splattering still works for regular Spidey. Holding back or not he’s still hitting them with spider strength, also the people he fights on the regular are mobsters and killers, nobody’s lose sleep if they lose a couple teeth.

[@danielmontero8200]

@@danielwood6833 This is true. But in my honest opinion, since it's a game, you can get away with somewhat unrealistic combat. So Spidey punching a regular dude mind of hard in gameplay but without there being blood splatter affects constantly isn't a deal breaker, well not to me anyway.

[@sonicjaxon8107]

I’m thinking how can you make more Spider-Man games like this without making the other games the same. Spider-Man from Spider-Man 2 is a big leap forward. Now how can they keep this up with improving combat and swinging without making the new games feel the same or dry. Spider man 3 seems like a challenge cause now they gotta somehow make it better than 2 and 2 seems like the peak of super hero gaming

[@deepflare1028]

I'm...sure most people are inclined to disagree with you and consider Arkham City the "peak" of Superhero gaming. (I haven't played SM 2 yet)

[@davidchittick6783]

That's awesome. I wish Insomniac added a few things in the 1st game. Not complaining btw, the game is still amazing. I love the game, but after seeing this. I wish they could've done more like made NYC more interactive & feel real like in the 2nd game, but a LOT more. Like add extra crimes like stopping a thug who is running off with a stolen purse or bike, save someone who's about to fall off a building, save a hostage that's involved in a car chase, save a cat from a tree, help a civilian with directions like in "Homecoming". Take crimes out of District Completion like in the 2nd game, pick any crimes to stop like in "Miles Morales", wave at civilians while hanging on a wall or something like a light pole, & shoot webs at enemies while swinging. Lastly add wall run on the web swinging like the end swing in "Far From Home". Crawl on the walls a little faster like in the 2nd game. Have there be QTE's in a few cutscenes like in Uncharted 4. Give some of the villains more appearance in the story like the Electro, Vulture, Rhino, Scorpion, Tombstone, Shocker, & Hammerhead little scenes in the game. Add some of the combats, parkour, & traverals that we've seen in the early prototype & alpha. Also for the gadget wheel I would've done it exactly like the one in the 2nd game, also so you can customize your gadget wheel by choosing different gadgets, pretty much like the abilities. Done better with some of the boss battles (add 3 rounds & health bars like in the 2nd game) like Kingpin, Scorpion, Rhino, & Electro. Replayable missions like Miles Morales & Spider-Man 2. I also think they could've added more into the story that we've seen in the comic that is based on this game, E3 2016 trailer, & some that we seen in the concept art. Once again I'm not complaining or anything, I still love this game a LOT. I just think they could have done a little bit more into this spectacular game & story, but it's still perfect & I'm still grateful for what we got👌

Looked like potential moveset switches like more focus on follow up attacks on a single target rather than crowd control every fight, would like to see that added, bit like ghost of tsushimas sword styles. Maybe a combat style focused specially on webbing or range and then a fighting style that focuses on air combat which could add in flying enemys with more complex fighting systems

[@chumcalmdown]

To me, the combat feels mostly the same. The added blood makes it more brutal, but many of the animations are unchanged, giving it a slightly heavier feel.

[@GooseGaming999]

I like how they cut the little weapon gadget wheel out in the first game but brought it back in the 2nd 😂😂

[@Arrowslinger2]

Looks better then what we got. I also love the addition of blood. Makes it more realistic considering how badly spiderman could mess someone up

[@davidchittick6783]

I think they should've done blood for the 2nd game instead, because of how brutal Peter is with that black suit when it comes to combat.

[@Drawrandom2187]

It looks like a lot of the old animations to the combat and traversal were inspired by tasm 2, the game. I'm glad the stepped away from it, and went on the more cinematic style. Suits the game much better.

[@expoval]

I hope they go more realistic for spiderman 3. We need closer camera angles, heavy pendulum swinging, and less floaty air combat with holograms and space grenades.

[@Noone23850]

I like the way the camera moved during swinging in that 2016 era

[@themchannel853]

It's amazing to see what is essentially early dev footage that insomniac considered a starting point of sorts, while other spiderman games went ahead and said "yeah this is good enough" and shipped it.

[@TheRubyMinecraft]

Idk if this is how it would have worked but at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="237">3:57</a> we can see the gadget in the bottom left corner which really reminds me of spider-man 2 R1 gadget wheel Maybe gadgets were meant to work like that but when they realized they wanted to add more gadgets they just created the 1st games gadget wheel and when spider-man 2 came around and they shifted focus away from gadgets a bit they brought it back

Maybe because it shows the building of the world and due to the secrecy of the footage. Seeing how it looks in its earlier states, starting being so unnatural with the test room where Spider-Man is fighting and next the footage moves to the grey world with untextured buildings and yet they are similar to our world, then becoming more and more like its final version and reallistic.

[@moviehermit5631]

I honestly think it was a wise choice for the combat to be less brutal. Spider-man’s always pulling his punches, and brutal Arkham style beat downs doesn’t scream “friendly neighborhood”. I do wish they could have incorporated that combat style into the Symbiote story in Spider-man 2 (not just with the surge mode). Maybe there could’ve been a mechanic where when he’s fighting regular crooks, he’s got the usual fighting style, but when he’s up against super villains (that he isn’t friends with) he gets more aggressive in the combat

[@lordraiden7397]
