Spidey Sense
It’s the game that you didn’t know you wanted, but you’re getting it anyway. Initial rumours of Spider-Man caused a mixed reception when they surfaced earlier this year, but even the smallest snippets of footage from this year’s E3 has turned that sentiment on its head.
Suddenly, a AAA Spider-Man game, in the same vein as Rocksteady’s awesome Batman series, sounds like a damn good idea. B-grade superhero movies are a thing of the past, and it seems as though licensed games are soon to also get the AAA treatment, such is the popularity of the genre.
[zergpaid]We’re cool with that, especially based on what we saw at E3 – Spidey swinging gloriously from building to building through a gorgeous New York open world setting, with rendered gameplay shots that showcased an emphasis on agility and speed of gameplay.
It seems logical that Insomniac has taken a leaf from Sucker Punch’s Infamous development team, using their experience and know-how as a blueprint for traversal for the upcoming Spider-Man game. And given that Infamous Second Son was easily the best of the series from a gameplay perspective, we’ve got no doubt this new Spider-Man game is going to play fantastically. Still, we’d love an extended gameplay trailer at PSX, just to make sure.
