Nothing is good enough for you, huh?

As far as the wall running goes, I like it. Though I also hope the crawling is present and satisfying, with a way to gain momentum with the webs when wanting to climb buildings faster. I wouldn't want him to go from crawling to straight up running at full speed. Crawling -> some sort of web pull -> wall running, would be the way to go.
I'm hoping there's a way to add some fancy stuff from a full on web swing too; Backflips, spins, some yahoo's would add to the whole experience of being Spider-Man.

Swinging looked fine to me in the E3 gameplay but ok.

On one hand, i applaud insomniac for listening to feedback.
on the other hand, i am not sure it's a good thing to kowtow and cater to every overreacting screaming fanboys' 'feedback'.
Seriously, everything nowadays is so overtop..
"OMG...The swinging in this Spider-man is trash level. This game gonna be trash! TRASH TIER CONFIRM!!!!"
Like calm down the fuck down a little and stop overreacting on everything.

Like one of the Insomniac guys said at D23: they got this!
And I believe them. This feels like a game I can just kick back and wait for release, knowing it won't be any less than good. Especially in terms of gameplay mechanics.

This is so true. Based on some comments, several people reacted like the game was complete at E3 and doomed based on what they saw.

Was the footage sped-up? Because if it has not been, then that is a remarkable improvement over the E3 demo...
Also, I would be ecstatic if they could add another animation when Spidey hits a wall. The running on the vertical surface is swell, but it would be son fun to have Peter crawl slowly at the touch of a button...

I thought it was momentum based before

It still is. IG haven't changed anything excpet for the time it takes to speed up.

You can still crawl on buildings though yeah?

Looks neat, though they should probably work on the transitions between different poses. Seems a bit too jerky. Particularly that part after he does the vertical spin from the ASM movies.

This is a very good news since the swinging looked quite slow in the E3 demo. Though, hopefully this gif is from an older build or isn't his max swinging speed:

Yup, love it.
This.
I thought it looked good before but either way I trust Insomniac to nail this and get the right balance.

Looks a bit too fast to me, honestly...
This gif is bugging me. When he reaches the top of the building, he fires a web to the ledge behind him to propel himself forward.

What is physics?

I've been playing Attack on Titan lately, so that might be part of why I think Spidey's swinging still isn't that fast. Attack on Titan has really set some high bars when it comes to fast movement and swinging.

Swinging looks good.
The wall running OTOH...
I don't want wall running, I want free climbing. That would be a huge disappointment if they don't give me wall sticking and crawling anywhere ability.

He's attaching it the ledge at his feet so it swings him back around then letting go at the downward ark to go outwards. But it definitely isn't accurate.

radioactive spider bit human boy and grant him spider powers! What is biology?! I need to rage! /S
He has a lot of upward momentum coming off the side of the building and he's shooting a web on the top of the building in front of him to swing off of and translate that momentum forward.
They aren't perfect physics but this is a Spider-Man video game. Come on.

It already looked great before but further improvements are always welcome.
There's "not perfect physics" and then there's "this makes no sense at all". Unless he has a propulsion variant web cartridge this falls entirely in the latter category. I'm sure we all here just want the game to be the best it can but the current animations and lack of weight and momentum just dulls what looks to be an otherwise amazing package

After a quick web search (pun not intended) I can't find any evidence of what you're saying. Do you have a source?
From my experience playing Spider-Man 2 in the past every single web attaches to a physical object. This is provable because you don't have to release a web after starting a swing. Spidey will just hang and move like a pendulum below the last point you attached to.

If you're looking for accurate real world physics in a game like this you're gonna have a bad time.

irrc no one except IG played the game at E3. The behind closed door session was just a demonstration for people to watch
Speaking of...WHERE IS OUR ALTERNATE FOOTAGE
jsteve pls.

yah dude..i do not understand some people's push for accurate real world physical in a spider-man game. Those guys ever watch a spider-man movie, cartoon, comic, etc? Based on real-world physics, spidey will not be able to swing the way he did and will just fall to the ground.

Damn, totally forgot that game, I see it at 26 on Amazon now, maybe I will buy it, it feels really good just seeing gameplay.
Great, the E3 swinging was too slow.
I hope we can crawls on the building and not always run on it.

man, that climbing speed is weird as fuck. I guess it is like that because playability or fun factor, but it is too fast for me
Yup, the running animation is too quick.

Yep this is exactly what I'm looking for. Good!

It was like that in the Spider-Man 2 game. It feels weirdly fast at first but you come to appreciate it the more you find yourself having to run up skyscrapers.
