This game looks amazing. I'd love to see some out and about open world gameplay though to see how it plays without the scripted events. I'm sure it'l be great either way.

 

[Messofanego]

I dunno man, can it really top this Spiderman game?

 

[UnemployedVillain]

If someone told me this was a promo shot from a Spiderman Movie I would believe.

I'm pretty sure it looks better than Amazing Spiderman 1. Remember when that was first shown off and there was the first person CG trailer? That was rough as fuck

 

[Killing_Joke]

Honestly don't get the hate for the QTE, it was all done at proper moments. Combat looked ace.

 

[est1992]

This and Anthem were the two best games of E3 in my eyes. Both made my jaw hit the floor

 

[Angel_DvA]

The game looks very great for sure but the gameplay looks meh, i really like the pacing of the mission though, looks very cinematic, I love it.

Hope I'm wrong about the gameplay, definitely need a demo.

 

[SpaceWolf]

That overly withheld Miles post-credits tease was bizarre.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

There is always a way. Putting in QTEs just feels like they are taking the easy path, which is a little disappointing. The game didn't look as dynamic as I was hoping.

Camera control alone would be a nightmare for certain things without QTE for a character like spidey .

 

[DigtialT]

I don't disagree, but I wouldn't say these QTEs are done right. Manually swinging through a city chasing down a helicopter is much more exciting than calmly pressing a designated button once every five seconds while a cutscene plays.

The swinging part wasn't part of the qte

 

[ShdwDrake]

Can someone explain this to me?

Miles is another Spidey.

 

[Mezoly]

Loved everything about the trailer even the qte. Those look like God of War qte not all the time kind of thing.

One minor thing I disliked is the blue hud, I hope we could get rid of it or have different color option. Most likely it's not final anyway.

 

[Elwood Blues]

Web slinging is better than tank battle batmobile I guess.

 

[orochi91]

Lovely.

 

[Syntsui]

Er, that gif you quoted wasn't even a QTE. That was gameplay.

There circle button prompt appears 2 times in that GIF.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Y'ALL.... Y'ALL!

 

[Pizza]

who the fuck is this villain? one of those post 2000 villains I presume?

He's very very very neat

All of Dan Slott's run that I've read is some god tier Spider-Man tbh

[Kevinroc]

who the fuck is this villain? one of those post 2000 villains I presume?

Yeah. Mr. Negative. Crime boss. Has the power to... invert... the personality (and sometimes powers) of other people.

 

[Megatron]

who the fuck is this villain? one of those post 2000 villains I presume?

Mr Negative. Yeah, he's pretty recent. Introduced since they ended the Spider marriage, I think.

 

[xxracerxx]

I don't disagree, but I wouldn't say these QTEs are done right. Manually swinging through a city chasing down a helicopter is much more exciting than calmly pressing a designated button once every five seconds while a cutscene plays.

But they were manually swinging around while chasing the helicopter.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

I don't disagree, but I wouldn't say these QTEs are done right. Manually swinging through a city chasing down a helicopter is much more exciting than calmly pressing a designated button once every five seconds while a cutscene plays.

The irony of this post is that your "manually swinging through the city" is mechanically the same as pressing a single button once every 2 secs,

Also, the demo I saw had QTEs on the crane stuff, but the swinging parts all seemed to give control to the player.

 

[NullPointer]

Do you have any examples?

Horizon's gameplay is pure spectacle, as are souls boss battles. GTA does set-piece spectacle without QTEs. Just off the top of my head. Uncharted 4's main jaw-dropping set-piece didn't rely upon QTEs.

 

[Sebastiano]

Looks spectacular and the gameplay seems amazing, can't wait!

There are also some "funny" things: we can notice people popping in the streets when Spider-Man is taking down the bad guys (still impressive to even see some people from such a distance) and when the helicopter is stopped, I saw some guys not giving a fuck about the crash, I laughed at it.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

That overly withheld Miles post-credits tease was bizarre.

I think they are gonna kill Peter and have you play Miles. Just seems like an easy way to have a shocking twist in the game.

 

[Chuck Norris]

This looks phenomenal. And at this point it looks like people don't know what they want to complain about. Of course it will show scripted events, it's a demo

I am more interested in the moment to moment gameplay, and if the world is constructed as well as an Arkham game for example. But that doesn't really translate to demos

 

[gutter_trash]

 

[KageMaru]

This and Anthem were the two best games of E3 in my eyes. Both made my jaw hit the floor

Yup thought both looked amazing. I hope there aren't too many QTEs in Spider-Man. I could just swing around in that city for hours.

I'm wondering if they are using photogrammetry tech, the texture work looked fantastic.

 

[Maximo]

Would have preferred just fucking around maybe a mission that wasn't so scripted and QTE focused.

 

[jackdoe]

I absolutely love all the little touches they threw in to make sure Spider-Man didn't actually kill anyone by dropping them off a skyscraper. So much more polished than how the Arkham games did it.

 

[FreezerGeezer]

Looked incredible and I will definitely be purchasing, but god damn that is a lot of QTEs

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

vs

The only thing that strikes me about this comparison is how unnatural the sense of scale seems in the second gif.

And I love me some Spider-Man 2, don't get me wrong.

 

[Frost Walrus]

I can't say the set-piece was terribly interesting to me, but I am interested by the open city itself and the web-swinging.

 

[Strings]

Wow, so it's Miles & not Peter? NIIIIIIIIIIICE.

Huh? Pls no

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Would have preferred just fucking around maybe a mission that wasn't so scripted and QTE focused.

honestly the reason people loved spidey 2 is swinging around the city doing collect a thons, pizza delivery side missions, and helping random civilians.

but that's hard to demo. Hopefully they have stuff like that.

 

[Spinluck]

I didn't say it should be like BOTW. I'm using examples of how it could just give you Spiderman tools (ability to climb anywhere, swing from any surface, pull things with webbing, wrap things with webbing, use 2 webs and shoot yourself between them, etc) and enable fun emergent situations.

I honestly don't care what your thoughts on BOTW are since you're clearly fixated on it and how "overrated" it is, and not on what I'm saying by referencing it. Hell, forget I said BOTW. My point still stands

Who's to say we can't climb or swing anywhere in this game?

 

[WordsintheWater]

I don't disagree, but I wouldn't say these QTEs are done right. Manually swinging through a city chasing down a helicopter is much more exciting than calmly pressing a designated button once every five seconds while a cutscene plays.

Both were present or are we really gonna act like that whole chase scene was QTE right now?

 

[GSG Flash]

This game really looks amazing, so hyped for this.

I mean, the latest spiderman games weren't that far.

 

[Megatron]

The hyperbole around games sometimes is too much.



2018

2018

nah 2018 splash at the end

2018. all it said

Ah. Too bad. Oh well, plenty for me to play this year. In addition to the great stuff still coming: D2, crackdown 3, ACO, etc, I still have to get to nier and persona 5 after I finish Horizon.

 

[J@hranimo]

The QTEs put a damper on the whole thing, but still pretty excited for it.

 

[orochi91]

This was a great game, haha

 

[JayCB]

Looks incredible to me. Might be looking at it through spidey-fan tinted glasses, but I'm 100% sold on it.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Yeah. Mr. Negative. Crime boss. Has the power to... invert... the personality (and sometimes powers) of other people.

What's the opposite of electricity?

 

[DangerMouse]

The swinging part wasn't part of the qte

This.

Also, if you watch the beginning of the demo you can see button hints when the player is absolutely fully in control when he looks at the beams so I'm convinced some of what we currently think are QTEs are not.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

What's the opposite of electricity?

Sony's conference.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Look at the difference in speed. look at that PS2 game.

Come on, Insomniac.

 

[InsomniSpidey]

Original Story – An all-new Spider-Man universe featuring familiar characters in unfamiliar roles. Peter Parker deals with his complex dual life as a young adult with great powers, discovering how his many relationships evolve.

I'm going to bet that in this game, Peter Parker is a high school teacher. And one of his students is Miles Morales.

 

[Slaythe]

Wow, so it's Miles & not Peter? NIIIIIIIIIIICE. Game looked really good, there were a lot of QTE segments, but I'm fine with it assuming those are relegated for setpiece moments during main story missions & you still get plenty of sidemissions with regular gameplay.

Wait that's what the teaser meant ?

Spiderman is miles ?

Well that's awesome, because that means I can skip this game then. The QTE fest already put me down but if this isn't Peter I can cross it off instantly .

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Horizon's gameplay is pure spectacle, as are souls boss battles. GTA does set-piece spectacle without QTEs. Just off the top of my head.

HZD gameplay does not have half stuff spidey going to be doing .
I love HZD but i expect much bigger set pieces for a spidey game.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Goods times. Great times.

 

[flaxknuckles]

I mean, the latest spiderman games weren't that far.

The web-slinging in the Beenox games was TRASH. Especially the last one and that's when they tried to ape Spider-Man 2's system.
