Still another hour until the conference starts. And then Spidey appears sometime during.

Mark Cerny was just on the pre-show livestream, and was asked about Spider-Man. He said he's spending a lot of time with Insomniac Games, and that their main focus is on gameplay and innovation. He said that one of the central questions they're tackling is, "How does Spider-Man fight?", and how they can create a whole new combat style different from what anyone's played before.

Well only a matter of time before we find out what that means.

 

[Mister J]

Yo, that gameplay looked insanely fun! Combat looks to be a general upgrade over prior Spidey outings.

Hope it's Q1 2018.

 

[socool]

So....that looked absolutely perfect. Like...I can't believe that was real. Good Lord. 2018 can't come sooner.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I. Can't. Breath.

One last tease at the end there! Miles Morales confirmed!

 

[ProjectPat2280]

For the billionth time I was right. I told you all not to doubt Insomniac and I told you all this would do for Spidey what the Arkham series did for Batman and I was right. There has never, ever been a more perfect, more flawless representation of a superhero in a video game. Ever.

F'ing wow.

 

[Ninjablade]

That was absolutely fantastic. I can't wait.

For those that missed it:

Maybe a little QTE heavy but otherwise I'm psyched.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Is the footage up anywhere yet?

Edit: socool beat me to it. Thanks.

 

[Dwarf Slayer]

Press X to Spider-Man

 

[harryoscop]

The combat looks PERFECT!!!

Absolutely spot on my friend, I just can't believe how absolutely f-ing perfect that was.

I am so PSYCHED right now! I can't believe it!

Good god, I am so happy right now.

Good god, I am so happy right now.

To be honest, even I'm a bit speechless. I know Insomniac. I know what they're capable of and even I couldn't of imagined anything better. Still out of breath. My god. What an epic game we are getting.

 

[PeterBenParker]

Incredible.

You have to use them. You can't get Spidey right without em. He has the most unique movement of any superhero and nothing can do him justice without QTEs. Insomniac nailed it.

 

[Darepool]

I still got spider tingles. Chills.

I love Insomniac.

2018.

 

[AlluAllu]

So much destruction.

Disappointed that it's 2018. I was hoping for a december release. Oh well.

It looked really awesome and cinematic, which I enjoy in games. My biggest worry is that swinging felt a little weightless when compared to the great Spider-Man 2. But that needs to be tested first hand to be sure.

 

[Marvel Spider]

Love the scope of the game (the action looks incredible), and the visuals look amazing, but the webswinging looks super super slow. With that being said, I hope it's something they continue to work on (they will). This is a Spidey story I'm very excited to delve into. I wonder what the Miles tease means in terms of story...

 

[The Guardian]

Mind Blown!!!

 

[Jick]

The combat looks great and the movements are fluid. They connect into eachother. That's one of my worries that was wiped away.

The other is the web-swing. I'm not really confortable with the web-swing yet. I understand Spidey is actually moving fast, but it feels slow.
I hope it feels great while playing, but while watching the trailer I kept weirdly trying to make Spidey faster with my mind, like if I were playing the game myself and chasing the chopper. It felt more like Beenox's web-swing than SM2's system. A speed button would do wonders.

It's looking fantastic, though.
