So I went to the Marvel Wiki as I usually do when I want to get caught up on Marvel characters and...

He turned into Agent Anti-Venom and then was killed by Red Goblin? Man what? :( I hope that isn't permanent.
Yeah... Yeah, that happened. Heartbreaking stuff, really, but reading that issue was arguably the best part of my birthday, lol.

Symbiotes are just fine. Stay away from alternate universes and clones (too late)
Shut your mouth, the world needs a video game Spidercide

I've seen footage of Spidey not taking fall damage, but it's there also none when you nosedive from the Empire State Building and not shoot your web? I know it's not a sim, but that would go against all laws of physics and it's unexplainable. He would be squashed like a bug.
You mean like how bugs don't get squashed when they fall from incredibly great heights?

Wait. There's a symbiote god...? Fuck. I didn't read the recent Venom stuff, so I'm out of the loop now. Latest I know is about the Klyntar when Flash went up to space and all that jazz.
Yep



Turnt me off right quick, I guess it seems to generic to me?

So in all the indoor sections I've seen Spidey perches on ledges like Batman in Arkham, but he's Spider-Man, why would he need ledges?


Basically what I'm asking is, can you stand on walls or ceilings indoors like you can in the open world?

You could do that in the older games but it could get pretty disorienting. If they keep the camera oriented in a reasonable position and have Spider-Man climb around stuff in varied ways rather than just sitting on top of them, it could feature what you mentioned

I wonder if some suits will have different basic web swinging sounds. It'd be cool to be able to choose what our webs sound like much like picking a costume. Maybe from samples that mimic ones from 60's, 90's or different film versions for example. Just have a single line menu entry at the skin select, the way you do a difficulty toggle where you can scroll horizontally between different choices. I like the 90's animated sound a lot. Don't have a problem with this game's effects as is though, it'd just be a cool touch.

I'm sure this has been brought up many times, but I hope at some point in the near future they can take this game engine and start inserting other superheroes into it.

Why do you do this, Marvel? They should've stopped with the Guardians of the Galaxy stuff they did. From an uninformed perspective, this looks like it rolls back on that by giving the symbiotes some evil god. They're supposed to be a good, non-malevolent alien race. Jesus.

On the other hand, I'm excited for the Scarlet Spider suit power just for the clone commentary.
That sounds when he shoots web is gonna get old real fast. Hope there is an option to either turn it off or lower the volume.
Welp, good luck.
Nice gif, but it's just kinda funny he gets no damage from a divebomb from the Empire State building, yet he does from enemies punching or shooting him.
Have we actually seen him land from a dive bomb? I wouldn't be too surprised if Insomniac made it so that Spidey will automatically create some webs to soften his landing or something of the sort, since their intention is for Spidey to appropriately not look like a fool given that he's been at this for eight years now.

Better soundtrack then Homecoming ! (MCU music is awful, so it's not hard). The game definitely seems inspired by Raimi Spiderman, even the colour tone seems symbolic of Spiderman 2. Same goes for the music, hints of Elfmans brilliant Spiderman theme.

No we haven't. I did see swinging footage where R2 wasn't pressed and he just slammed on the ground (the pavement actually gets damaged) without any harm done. So we're assuming the height doesn't matter. Maybe jstevenson can shed some light on the matter?

Ah, that's what I was referring to by land. Hmm. I personally don't mind that, although I can see why some people would take issue with that.

As for tagging, just type in "@" and the username. It doesn't have to be the full username, just the first few letters and you'll see suggestions for it.

Thanks. Tried that but I had to wait longer, I see. :-)

No it wouldn't be game breaking, but it wouldn't make sense also.

Oh, that's not gonna work if you just edit it into your post. They won't get the notification that way. Similar to quotes.

jstevenson Some are wondering why Insomniac chose to have Spidey damage the pavement upon landing from a long dive bomb instead of receiving damage himself.

So tired of the MCU music meme. The soundtrack in the last few MCU films has been so good, Homecoming included. It's not the Elfman theme, but what is?

They don't want Spider-Man to take fall damage because he's been doing it for 8 years, it was debated for a bit, but ultimately that's what they decided on.

I know that, but what does that exactly mean when you nose dive from the Empire State Building or any other large building? Do you simply crash into the ground and walk away unharmed against all the laws of physics, or does Spidey shoot out a web automatically right before hitting the ground? I'm hoping for the latter.

I think it's the latter. He quickly slows his decent

Edit: aaand I think I'm wrong about that

Oh my bad, didn't understand that's what you were asking, I'm not sure about that. I know they've said he would roll or just land, but not sure if height of drop changes that.

He's not going to shoot a web. He'll just roll out of it or land.

I think that aspect made me cancel my preorder, tbh. What's even the point

No point. Still hyped as hell. Just weird (and yeah, nitpicking) that Spidey survives crashing on the concrete at terminal velocity with no damage at all taken, while not being able to handle a few punches.

He just does a slam into the ground from what I've seen. Almost looks like the stereotypical superhero landing.

Its a gameplay decision the developers made much the same as Spider-Man just floating in mid air when doing prolonged air combo's. Its like asking why Kratos can get mountains and shit dropped on him in cutscenes but gets killed by random base level grunts if you're not careful.

I loved the old Marvel flipbook logo and was actually kind of bummed when I saw the 45 second avengers trailer they use as a logo now.
Knowing this will have the flipbook logo feels oddly satisfying lol. I'll have to stop myself from humming the 3 note single string Elfman bit at the beginning though lol.
