[Sgt. Kabukiman]

It looked great but I couldn't help but laugh at the absurd amount of collateral damage. Spidey is giving Man of Steel's Superman a run for his money.

 

[Lifeline]

Looks cool, but I don't like the artstyle for some reason.

I was fine with the art style till they showed Kingpin.

 

[Neoxon]

No Baxter Building in NYC? If so, damn you, Perlmutter!!!

 

[Future PhaZe]

will wait for a hands on video

looked very much like a vertical slice

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

The combat is very Arkham-esque, which is fine by me because ever since playing Asylum all I've wanted was a Spider-Man game with that style of combat.

The web swinging looks perfect.

 

[gustave154]

Man 2018 is STACKED. And we still haven't seen anything from Sucker Punch

 

[M.W.]

Looked fantastic. Game of show confirmed.

 

[RoadHazard]

I THINK that was some proper web slinging? Looked like he was physically swinging from buildings and shit. Which is really all I need. Well, not all, but it's a must. Combat looked cool too.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

the primary audience for this game is going to be the younger crowd and they gona love the qte stuff. i think they will be reserved for the big moments, the other stuff looked solid. traversal looked amazing

 

[ItIsOkBro]

tell me how a game from 2004 still has better swinging

 

[jeffram]

A few short QTE sequences in a 10 minute mission don't bother me too much.

The webslining seemed really fluid and quite intense in pace.

 

[Respect]

Game did look like a lot of fun, it did come across QTE heavy, but that honestly doesn't bother me as much as it appears to bother many others.

The combat is very Arkham-esque, which is fine by me because ever since playing Asylum all I've wanted was a Spider-Man game with that style of combat.

It definitely did, and I'm all for it.

Pretty lackluster sony gig this year but Spidey gameplay totally recovered it for me, so fucking smooth

Yeahhh no.

 

[Novel Mike]

too many QTE's

The webswinging was incredible

Exactly this, that was the biggest problem with the entire demo. QTE's everyfreakingwhere.

 

[Hatefilled Vengeance]

The QTE stuff looked pretty bad. But I have hopes the gameplay will be great (since it's Insomniac). Wish they showed off just traversing the city.

 

[bede-x]

The right amount of QTE in a game should be zero, but this is Insomniac so I'm still excited about this. Hope the full game isn't too scripted.

 

[Da-Kid]

His movement during Combat as bananas nothing like the ASK series, it impressed me for sure

Its actually very similar.

 

[Danis Saur]

Here's the thing:

Remember God of War 3, and its QTE's during boss fights?

Could this be the same thing? This sequence was a boss fight?

 

[LAM09]

Looks good, but not a fan of all the QTE's. Really surprised it isn't a 2017 release.

 

[Defuser]

I' honestly puzzled at these statements. Don't really know what people want, Bayonetta-esque combat?

They want Web of Shadows combat because its a better fun combat system.

 

[crack-king]

It's sad how people think the only way to see "cool" things in games is QTEs or just watching a cutscene. What about those scripted moments couldn't have been done through pure gameplay? Give Spiderman the ability to crawl on anything and have physics based swinging, and that alone allows a ton of the cool stuff when players are creative (look at Just Cause, BOTW for crazy physics based acrobatics)

Oh for fucks sake, please leave me alone with BOTW. Does BOTW has a scene that has even nearly that much action as what was showed for Spider-Man? Of course not

If not for QTE this scene would just not been possible or just a cutscene.

 

[Firmus_Anguis]

They improved Spidey's look!
Can't wait to play it!

 

[Bad_Boy]

I think you guys are too worried about QTEs when this will be open world.

And it's insomniac.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Soooo slooow.

SO FUCKING SLOW!

How do you make a slow Spiddy game? HOW?

 

[Unaha-Closp]

I get being disappointed with QTE's but really doing crazy set pieces like that without like giving Spiderman slow time and stop time abilities so us normal humans could pinpoint accurately aim the web stuff (I'm not a big superhero guy) I don't see how they do it otherwise. As long as it flows from traversal to qte and back smoothly it looks pretty good to me.

 

[SoRuffShoNuff]

Looks like Batman with an alternate outfit. Not that it won't be a good game, just looks extremely similar.

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

Who was the guy with the phone at the end of the video ?

 

[UpUpDownDown]

Loved how they handled the webs.

Very cool looking!

 

[Puruzi]

Here's the thing:

Remember God of War 3, and its QTE's during boss fights?

Could this be the same thing? This sequence was a boss fight?

It was a setpiece, it wasn't gameplay.

There were like no QTEs in the actual gameplay so i don't understand the complaints

 

[Kyne]

Who was the guy with the phone at the end of the video ?

Miles Morales.

 

[JadedWriter]

Holy fucking shit

 

[Luke_Wal]

WHAT @ people saying the combat looks bad. Looks fluid and acrobatic as fuck. Plus the graphics are insane.

Honestly the conference was pretty underwhelming but this was fucking brilliant.

I need this game.

While I'll agree that the prowling stuff and the takedown animations look incredibly fluid, it seemed like the hand to hand "square square square" combat lacked animation transitions. Looked very start-stoppy.

That being said, holy CRAP does this game look good. My jaw was on the floor. Can't believe how fun this looks.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Hope we get to play as Miles too. Shiiiiit.

 

[HeelPower]

I think its kind of strange how transparent the QTEs are.

In a post Naughty Dog,Arkham games world(and others), this kind of thing seems outdated.People are used to then being more seamless.

The game looks mindblowing visually though.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This doesn't seem that great.

 

[WordsintheWater]

This looked absolutely amazing, the Spider-Man game I've always dreamed of. Quite disappointed in 2018 though, would have been amazing to see Fall 2017 pop up on screen, it's not even early 2018 like God of War, so I would assume Spring would be the earliest we would get this.

 

[Toa TAK]

This is the only game getting me pumped to pick up a PS4. I know how lame that sounds, but it's Spider-Man.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I just kind of hope that they picked a very specific part of the presentation that was really scripted to have a bunch of QTEs.

 

[EdibleKnife]

Damn. Mister Negative as a major player. If we're digging deep, I want the Spider Slayers too

 

[yansolo]

looks like they took a few notes from Arkham series regarding the stealth and combat sections, too many qte's though I hope they tone those down.

hoping they don't fuck this up

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Game look really nice .
QTE are expected when doing story missions .

 

[Poyunch]

tell me how a game from 2004 still has better swinging

YYeaaa......... It just lacks the oomph. I feel like it's still a little baked and not actual physics-based.

 

[Discotheque]

Soooo slooow.

SO FUCKING SLOW!

How do you make a slow Spiddy game? HOW?

yeah it was kinda weird that he seemed to fight way slower than Batman...wtf.

it looks fun though overall. definitely step up from many of the previous spiderman games in presentation.

 

[Sojgat]

Arkham style stealth and combat looks boring, but I fucking loved that heavily scripted web-swinging sequence.

Game sure does look pretty.

 

[Basketball]

QTEs in 2017

LMAO

 

[UberLevi]

I thought this shit looked great. Spider-Man getting it's own Arkham City treatment. Weird that gamers are so upset over a video game asking them to press a button to perform an action, though.

 

[jph139]

It's not gameplay though. It's a setpiece, it would LITERALLY just be a cutscene if there weren't QTEs

It doesn't matter at all

Why not just... not include it? Like, don't bother with the whole crane collapse BS, just get immediately to the webslinging helicopter chase.

Maybe people are really fucking hyped to watch a short movie where Spider-Man webs up stuff, but that's not why I'm putting my money down. I'm buying a Spider-Man game it's to do Spider-Man shit, not occasionally press a button while the game does Spider-Man shit for me.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Oh for fucks sake, please leave me alone with BOTW. Does BOTW has a scene that has even nearly that much action as what was showed for Spider-Man? Of course not

If not for QTE this scene would just not been possible or just a cutscene.

I like how you conveniently ignore that I mentioned Just Cause as well

 

[truly101]

Looks like Batman with an alternate outfit. Not that it won't be a good game, just looks extremely similar.

ehh, not really. Sure the combat system is inspired by it, but a lot of those takedowns were unique to Spider-Man's abilities. I think it had a different enough look to it anyway

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Game shows promise. Fisk, Mr Negative, and Miles Morales(hope he's playable) teases are all nice.
