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.
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.
