Playstation Spider-Man (PS4) - Part 3

Found this half hour long developer walkthrough of the demo. Didn't plan to watch the whole thing because I've watched the demo at least a 100 times already but every few minutes he would do something new and I ended up watching the whole thing haha

The sheer number of unique combat mechanics is incredible. We get to see what Bryan was talking about with slamming a webbed up enemy to the ground and he instantly sticks...except he did it to the wall, which is just 10x cooler. There's a bunch of other little things, too.

If anyone is interested:

^^ on 6:19 there's another jump down off empire state building. when he swings at the end the momentum is not right, it looks too slow. and when he's dropping down there is no visual effect but the next dive right after suddenly there is that wind in his face effect or whatever

how did they manage to mess this up?
 
I love how this game looks at magic hour. Gives me that Sam Raimi feeling and scope. And the one world trade center looks great. It's almost bittersweet.
 
That looks amazing. The city look huge at 6:22. Can't wait to play this! Is there a video with Spidey climbing top of the One World Trade Center?

The video was from a demo that was available at E3, only a portion of the map was available, which appears to be the center of Manhattan(Empire State Building) so no footage of Spidey on top of One World Trade Center.

I was keeping an eagle eye out for Avengers Tower and saw what I believe was the Metlife bulding, so it appears it's not located in the same spot as the MCU.

Spider-Man PS4 Easter Egg Confirms Daredevil


Jun 13, 2018
An Easter egg found in the promotional material for Spider-Man on PlayStation 4 confirms the existence of Matt Murdock aka. Daredevi

Daredevil exists in the world of Spider-Man's upcoming PlayStation 4 game. Sony's Spider-Man was the showstopper at their E3 2018 press conference and it is one of the PlayStation's biggest games for 2018. While the game will adapt a large swath of Spider-Man mythology, it's unclear how (if in any way) the release will interact with the larger Marvel universe.
Spider-Man will have appearances from nearly every Spidey character imaginable. Miles Morales is in the game, Mary-Jane Watson is a playable character and a whole host villains will be out for Spidey's blood - including the villain of Netflix's Daredevil, Wilson Fisk aka. Kingpin. Evidently, Matt Murdock will be another citizen of the virtual New York and could very well interact with Spider-Man as Daredevil.
RELATED: DOES THE NEW SPIDER-MAN PS4 GAMEPLAY TEASE DOC OCK?

The proof of Matt Murdock's existence was uncovered by @JamesConoway on Twitter. By giving a closer look to some of the promotional material for the game, a "legal ad" for Nelson & Murdock was spotted. This is, of course, the name of the law firm that Matt Murdock runs with his best friend, and legal partner, Foggy Nelson.
All this Easter egg truly confirms is that Matt Murdock is a part of the world of PS4's Spider-Man. It doesn't necessarily mean Matt is Daredevil and it certainly doesn't mean that he'll appear as a character in the game. However, the reference does make it more likely that Daredevil could be a NPC in Spider-Man or even get his own spinoff or DLC set in the same world. Marvel has stated before that their video games are not tied to or based upon their movies. While Daredevil and Spider-Man haven't interacted in the MCU, they could in the realm of video games.
Of course all of this is some very heavy speculation. The Easter egg could be nothing more than an Easter egg. One of the inspirations for Spider-Man is the Batman: Arkhamseries, which was developed by Rocksteady. In the Arkham franchise, there are a ton of Easter eggs and references that never led to a character appearing in the game. Lex Luthor's LexCorp had billboards. Green Arrow's Queen Industries logo was plastered all around Arkham Knight. Neither Lex nor Green Arrow showed up.
<img style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; display: block; width: 738px; height: 369px; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px;">
However, Batman has always been a rather isolated character, much more so than Spider-Man, who exists in New York City and along with a number of other Marvel characters. In the comics, Spider-Man is almost always interacting with another hero that is based in NYC, including Daredevil. It would feel very natural for the video game to have Spider-Man exist in that larger Marvel world.
In addition, Square Enix is planning a mysterious Avengers game. While that title will be multi-platform, not PlayStation exclusive, it would be an interesting (if risky) idea for Marvel to connect the untitled Avengers game to Spider-Man. The two games could create a Marvel Gaming Universe. If Daredevil was included in Spider-Man that would be a big step toward making that dream become a reality. However, that is a very big "if."
On the other hand, it might be in Marvel, Sony and Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games' best interest to just focus on the world of Peter Parker. Daredevil can exist but he doesn't need to be involved. For now, fans can still dream about the wonderful virtual Marvel world that could (maybe) exist.

I still wish the makers of sleeping dog's were around. In a way they are, but they aren't answering the studio name of united front games. but they'd be perfect for dare devil game.

Not to try and introduce objectivity to this, but I assume the lack of the visual effect is to not ruin the picturesque cityscape as he's falling. Conversely, I'm guessing the use of the effect is more prominent the closer he gets to pavement. I won't pretend to have expertise on this matter, so I'm sure you are correct and Insomniac just f-ed up these obvious details....

Probably my imagination, but I hear Avengers-like cues in the music starting around the 20 second mark. Hmm. Probably just reaching though.

Based on the general area you can see it in in those videos, it doesn't appear to be where it's placed in any other media. Though it doesn't appear to be that far from where the Avengers Mansion is supposed to be.

I like how it looks fully rendered in that view.
 
This looks like the most fun game in a long time. As much I like dystopian/survival games, they've run their course for me.

Actually agreed. I noticed that too. Jumping off the Empire State Building should have more impact, but it's very bleh. Probably my one actual complaint haha But in no way a deal breaker for me personally.

And who knows--the next 2.5 months are polish and bug fixing, so maybe it'll be slightly improved ;)


ALSO I will say: I've lived in New York all my life. Manhattan itself for several years. I know that city. Insomniac has managed to perfectly capture it's feel and liveliness on the street. And the view from atop the ESB is nearly picture perfect.

BUT

They've severely truncated Harlem. Just like EVERY Spider-Man game. The rest of the island is very accurate (small changes here or there but whatever). Harlem, however, is almost not there. The only open world game in Manhattan to ever get Harlem right was GTA4. No other open world NYC has ever done it correctly. They always chop it out. VERY disappointed to see it happen here, too.

Hate double posting, but this is worthy:

I found a video of Evan Filaraca playing the demo. Many of his videos have been posted here. I'm sure most of you guys either recognize his face or voice. He's part of this big "Spidey Squad" that Insomniac so lovingly embraced. He even got to interview Bryan Intihar at D23 last year!

I'm only posting it because it's the first video of the demo I've found played by a fan. I'm sure other videos are people who like Spider-Man, but Evan is a FAN. And the sheer joy and love in his face is really quite sweet. He reminds me a bit of myself at that age, which probably helps, and it's real nice to see him get to live through so many great moments I wish I had at his age. Plus he's not half bad at the game!

Thought you guys might appreciate it

I heard them too, you are not the only one.
 
:up:

I love it if it hinted at something greater, but even as a reference it's cool. Much like the Elfman nods we hear in the music.
 
The game looks perfect and like a combination of everything good in past games.


Kind of irritating to see comments like how people love the perching or webbing enemies to walls and they "always wanted to see that in a Spider-Man game"


These things were all in both Amazing Spider-Man games. This game seems to have taken A LOT of inspiration from those, which is a good thing. Unlike the movies, those games are great. ASM2 was not as polished as I'd have liked but I still enjoy it.

Someone whose opinions on Spider-Man games are ones I agree with for the most part, yeah I heard of him.

I wouldn't call this game perfect, and I came to think that the first TASM game is pretty boring recently.

Perching and sticking people to walls happened in Web of Shadows.

Marvel Brings the #SpiderManPS4 'Advanced Suit' Into Spider-Man's Comic Book Continuity https://buff.ly/2HLd1HB

Spectacular-Spider-Man-Costume.jpg


SPOILER WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man#305 by Chip Zdarsky, Adam Kubert, Jason Keith, Andrew Crossley and Travis Lanham, on sale now.
As iconic as Spider-Man’s traditional red-and-blue costume is, it’s always great to see him switch it up to something a bit different. When he came home from Marvel Super-Hero Secret Wars with the black costume — which would later turn out to be the Venom symbiote — it started a long tradition of Spider-Man changing his gear depending on what the situation called for. Whether it’s the silver Spider-Armor of the nineties, the Iron Spider outfit he used during Civil War, or his white and black Future Foundation costume, Spider-Man can pull just about any look off.
Later this year, Insomniac Games is releasing a brand new Spider-Man video game on PS4. In said game’s universe, a more experienced and worldly Spider-Man has a slightly different costume, referred to as the “Advanced Costume.” This costume, with its trademark giant white spider adorning the chest, is said to have a number of special features which have yet to be fully revealed in the lead-up to the game’s release.
RELATED: Who’s the Spider-Man Game’s Mystery Villain?
While Spider-Man on PS4 is still months away, this week’s issue of Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man introduces a comics version of the advanced suit as part of its alternate timeline escapades.

Back To The Future, Too

How we got to where we are is a bit of a journey, so if you’ve not been following Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man, let’s catch you up real quick.
The Terrible Tinkerer had been working in concert with an alien race of robots called the Vedomi, who arrived on Earth to wipe everyone out. In order to stop them, Spider-Man went back in time along with his sister Theresa Parker and newfound ally J. Jonah Jameson, in order to get to The Tinkerer early and stop the alliance.
Things didn’t go quite as planned and a number of events happened that shouldn’t have, mostly because Peter decided to team up with his younger self and use his knowledge of the past combined with his adult experience to defeat his most dangerous enemies before they knew what hit them. This led to the Green Goblin killing the past-incarnation of J. Jonah Jameson and discovering Spider-Man’s true identity, with which he kidnapped Aunt May and nearly killed her.

Regardless of intentions, the fall lacked all impactfulness, which a drop from top of a sky scraper should have. So in my book that is a big mistake on Insomniac's part.

Few "best of E3" wins so far, hopefully more to come from the noms.
