The fact that this game lets you go to the Statue of Liberty but SM2 on PS5 almost 20 years later and with literal web wings and water skiing doesn’t is absurd
@@Thfoxpzlmao what? Brooklyn literally has tall enough buildings. Plus I could say the same thing against the OG SM2- it didn’t have Queens and Brooklyn like the new one does.
I think one of the biggest things that changes how each spider man game feels is the size of the buildings. Imo, the recent spider man games’ buildings are just too small
I loved web swinging in this game because it actually made you feel like you were web swinging instead of Spider Man 1 where it just went into the sky.
frrr, that was something i immediately noticed back in the day as a kid and i thought that was cool cause it felt more realistic and made me feel more like spiderman lol
Turn off swing assist in the new Spiderman game and you have the same feeling just with updated Tech. The new exceeded themselves adding the swings assist to able turn off or adjust it to your liking, and you truly will become Spiderman.
@@brucedoyle4055It's not quite the same, the dives barely boost your speed unless you're using loops and instead of implementing a ground slide or running animation, Spider-Man just stops on the ground if you're too low lmfao
@@brucedoyle4055people think turning off swing assistance makes all the automated problems magically disappear. The problem is not in the assistance (the magnet barrier being gone is great though), and it never was since PS4. The problem is that almost none of the momentum acquisition feels right. Granted, PS5 is much better than PS4 momentum, it’s still not where it needs to be. The swinging at zero is just stiff and the momentum is still off. I’d argue at zero it feels like it’s the most on rails. Not to mention transitioning from dive into loop de loop is horrible feeling imo, and that’s just one minor issue of the many. It’s an animation based system still, and that’s what holds it back from greatness. Yes, I’ve played it, I’ve been playing since launch
Well people, practice and get good. And just dont touch the ground problem solved. One Advice Timing is Key. To me it feels Great, and rewarding at 0 Swing Assist if you get the hang of it.
@@brucedoyle4055 It's more rewarding and challenging at 0 assist than the first Insomniac game, but SM2PS5's swinging still isn't fully physics-based and isn't nearly as challenging as SM22004. The new game is still too reliant on its animations to help less-skilled players look cool even with assist turned off. It's a massive improvement over the previous game but it's still not scratching that web swinging itch the original SM22004 did.
My childhood was this game. I no lifed the hell out of this game I kept restarting the game that’s how good and detailed it was. I was always doing the pizza missions just for the song 😅
I will find it more fun that the more recent ones. It's a lot easier to fail in this game. But it makes succeeding so much more fun. And it's also easier to be more precise in this game. Where in the insomniac games, the assists make it hard to be precise
@@blixk1295 though I am glad Insomniac did add that option and setting it to 0 does fix a lot of my issues, it still has problems that I wish were fixed. Mainly the automated moves and climbing. Holding R2 still wall runs, let's go of the web and auto dives. The auto dives do make a little hard to have full control. The auto wall running honestly just makes doing some actions a little harder. Like loop de loops would either do that, or it would transition to a wall run. Really wish these auto systems could be turned off in the options menu. And climbing still feels awful. I don't have much to say about this
okay there is something special about how the camera works that makes this super thrilling even compared to the new games, i think it's the way it like pitches down and up with spider-man's descent/ascent
I know people overhype Web of Shadows but if you’ve never played it, it’s like this game, but the swinging feels twice as good, and it fixes the annoyances with this system. The very first swing had me ascending at how good it felt
This game was way ahead of its time, a fact exemplified by its successor, Spiderman 3. The contrast between the two is undeniable, with Spiderman 3 being a significant downgrade. The developers of Spiderman 2 poured their heart and soul into it. Thank you for making my childhood fun. What a memorable game.
Remember having this game and fighting mysterio lol. Ome of the best spiderman games and nyc replicas (especially for its time). This game made me a big spiderman fan
You really are more engaged with the swinging like theres alot more risk reward for getting momentum and because of the challenge there is a real sense of accomplishment to getting good at the swinging. You can literally practice for hours and still be learning the mechanics while in insomniacs spiderman you become a master in like 30 minutes.
All I kept seeing last month is people uploading those spinny 360 swinging loop on Marvel Spider Man 2 like it's anything extremely difficult to do and it's so fucking annoying. I love the game but people keep worshipping the swinging like it's something we never got 20 years ago
Yes, a remaster. Not a remake but a remaster. We need the same engine and combat, just with new models, textures, and maybe some new menu elements to better show off the unlockable moves.
As someone who’s played both for far too much time, I have to give it to 2004. The original, physics-based swinging is still the fastest, best, most realistic, and most innovative swinging in any video game. The 2023 Spidey 2 has more to customize, so it gets points for that. But even after playing with Swing Assist at 0, I have to admit, it still does some pretty forgiving things to make the style automatic. In 2004, if you were good at swinging, you were GOOD at swinging. I’ve also completed the Mega Time for some of the Insane challenges in the 2004 Spidey 2, and I promise you… absolutely NOTHING was that difficult in 2023 Spidey 2. Also… there’s somehow more to do in the original too. Pizza missions, saving kids’ balloons, Daily Bugle photography missions, races, boss battle challenges, and so much more. I’m sure they’ll add things with updates, but as of now, the original Spidey 2 has more to do when you beat the story. Oh yeah… and the story is probably a lot better in the 2004 game too.
@@infamousplayer8772 it's engaging because the web swinging is. Insomniac's swinging feels like you're playing on autopilot most of the time so of course getting from point A to point B doesn't feel too engaging. But this game is pretty much entirely physics driven so it makes you pay more attention and asks for precise timing, reflexes, and coordination for you to get somewhere specific or do anything impressive or cool looking. For some people that appeals more. I appreciate the level of complete freedom it offers you, but I think this game is too difficult personally. And I think insomniac's is too easy and way too restrictive. For me web of shadows is the best balance
@@nathanfracasse6645 i played these games for the first time this past year so i have no nostalgia for them and I can say the same thing. even before i played them i could feel how handholdy and restrictive insomniac's swinging was. And that was after thinking it was the greatest spider-man game ever made
@@ScarlettDXR Me too, and I think they’d lead to the edge of the map in the ocean next to the Statue of Liberty or something before your web broke. You couldn’t attach a web to the statue though
How anybody can claim Insomniacs web slinging is better than is is insane. I would spend hours upon hours literally doing nothing but practicing my swinging in this game😂
insomiacs isnt, i loved it but its just not the same... its not real physics even when set to swing assist 0, theyre are so many features lacking in insomniacs that they did in this game like climbing the weblines to adjust height and position or running along the ground as you swing so you dont eat shit....also spider-man in insomiacs games feels like a feather or small cat, theres no real weight or true momentum...this game will forever be remembered as the best swinging and the fact we're even talking about it 20 years later proves that
Spider-man 2 (2004) has the best out of the ones listed here. Only thing thats missing is the ability to climb webs like in ultimate and WOS, and i'd also like it if it had the animation where spidery face plants when he collides into a building, for realism
yo who remembers when in a fight you could hang crooks from the streetlights as a combo move ? this game was so fire I wish I could be a kid n play this for the 1st time again 💔
The god of our childhoods! This was the very first Spider-Man Game I've played when I was young and it was an absolute blast! Then when I saw a Spider-Man 3 on DVD it changed my life forever and that's how I got into Spider-Man for Life
The thing that the newest Spider Mans are missing with the web mechanics is wall detection. In the ps2 game you could actually get caught up on a wall if your momentum was wrong, or you'd runn along it if your distance was too close, you actually needed to develop a feel for the horizontal and vertical world. As good as the new games are with the web slinging, they still lack a refined horizontal mechanic, and even vertically isnt an issue either because even when you're above the building lines you can still easily get a full moment swing without dropping down in height by much at all and youbcan easily bounce or glide along walls as you pass by them as if they're made of bumpers. These are all the reaspns why the ps2 game still has a feel to it that is unmatched. I'd honestly almost rather they design the modern Spider Man games as more straight up action games with the old web slinging in the clouds design than try to do open world and miss the real fundamentals but I still really like what they've done with the franchise.
@@MrMckenzie.this is not at all what it is. The ZSA, while good and functional, is hardly as manual as it appears. It just restricts your lateral movement and lets you hit the ground. In some instances I’d argue it makes the web swinging worse because it just stiffens the experience in the wrong way. Technically it gives you a better “pendulum” but it’s still smoke and mirrors. The core system holds your hand and automates almost everything, making it far less satisfying.
Man, you just took me back to my childhood/teenage years! This game was THE Spider-Man game back in the day. You know you could use the sprint and charge jump while you swung? We need this game remastered on the PS5 with 60FPS, 4K, and adaptive triggers for the swinging. Can you just IMAGINE how the graphics would look like?
I recently picked this game up for the original Xbox for 10$ and I am playing it on the xbox 360 and i got to say, This games swinging and combat is so good, better than anything we have now.
wow this is beautiful swinging the way he’s moving so flimsy and slippery it’s so weird he looks like a ballerina in the air he’s dancing and the way when anytime he swings you can see the weight and the speed of the swing like pulling him it’s so odd for a game to come out on the ps2 the developers had a great vision
@@NoCluYThow is it a skill issue when it's universally agreed that insomniacs spiderman games don't have faster web swinging than this game lmao. You sound like a stupid fanboy. Not to mention that I 100% spiderman 2 PS5 way too quick and the story was ass lol. “just consume product and then get excited for next product" is literally what you fanboys do
@@SmoothGuy2 Unfortunately, it's discontinued atm. I'm the only one who worked on this project 95%. I wanted more people to work on the project but everything goes wrong.
Remember when Spider-Man games actually had a physics engine? Like, the web lines had collision and would bend or wrap around objects? This game came out in 2004, for fucks sake.
The air tricks in this game are so much better than the ones in insomniacs spider-man, More variety and i love how you have the option to stall them if you hold the X button
One of the biggest issues with insomniacs swinging isn’t necessarily the speed but the weight of the character feels like a feather like there’s no pendulum or transfer of momentum in between webs. This game feels like a man holding onto a web while the others feel like they’re floating. They should’ve made a new game engine for Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man 2 is on a new game engine if I’m not mistaken. Plus you can tone down how much the game assists you in swinging. It starts off at 10 which is what the other games was at originally and you can bring it down to 0
I'm really glad to say that Spider-Man 2 has absolutely fixed the issues with the first game's swinging. You can even turn the "safety assists" off and take impact damage. It's amazing.
Best web swinging. The boost with left trigger was a smart touch let’s you add weight realistically. This is so open ended it’s a marvel and deserves more respect. Why they didnt go this way for ps4 I do not know but maybe they can in the future
it was developed by treyarch (who make black ops) back when they made sports games, so they actually used the sports physics engine they had in house to develop this game, and its why its so visceral and real feeling, I loved insomniacs take but it doesnt have real physics, even though it really tries to make it look like it, insomniac confirmed its not running a physics engine for the swinging like treyarch did with this game.
Because marvel Spider-Man 2 doesn’t rely on physics for its web swinging. It uses a set of animations that gives an illusion that the player that it’s using one. That’s why the games sometimes feels like it’s swinging itself rather than you having much control over it
@@toragic3432 yeah you're right. One disturbing thing with the game is when you're moving in mid air and when you press the triangle button on an enemy, spidey stops in mid air and webs the enemy and zips to them. Its unrealistic
Love how rewarding swinging in this game feels. It's a skill you learn as you play and it's really the most accurate and realistic swinging considering it's based heavily on actual physics. The extra situational inputs necessary to keep a good smooth flow bring so much more realism. You actually have to react to buildings and surrounding. Spiderman PS5 swinging just looks better but that's because they're doing most the work for you and you're mostly just watching.Theres not much room for error. The game constantly nudges you away from the errors you're making for the sake of making it look smooth but there should be consequences for hitting walls and signs. Its all part of learning to swing and its a fun challenge in this game. People think its better because they made it too easy so that it looks better.They dont realize its automated to the point you can just hold R2 and thats it to get where you want. Thats not nearly as fun as actually putting in the effort to learn swinging mechanics that force you to react and swing well.
Finally someone put my exact thoughts into words. If a Spider-Man game could combine all the best things about this, Web of Shadows, and PS5 swinging we’d have a system that people could probably not stop playing. As good as PS5 is, I yearn for the og experience that just feels right
Honestly, the swinging in this 20 year old game still feels better and more nuanced than sm2 ps5. This one you can feel the speed as you swing through the more speed upgrades you got. And has more variety of air tricks.
new spiderman games aint got shit on this game when it comes to swinging and the vibe i got with the music it was crazy took me back to when i was 4 years spazing the fuck out with tobey maguire spiderman i really wish i could go back man
@@lakedaemonI have and the only difference is the web resistance and no barrier. Several aspects are still automated like webs automatically releasing
@@lakedaemonI think what people say by scripted is the swing button is the same as the sprint button and is the same as the parkour button and is the same as the wall run button. SM2 had different button combinations for wall runs and sprint was left trigger. 0 swing assist doesn't remedy this.
… grow up and remove your nostalgia🤣. Newest Spiderman games (even before the further improved Spiderman 2 on PS5) made for a MUCH more fun and fluid experience. This shit was great at the time but my god, maneuverability was terrible
@fionnbarrcasey5247 People really love striving for mediocrity now, huh? The insomniac web swinging is carried by the animations, and that's it. Looking at SM2 PS5, you are forced to let go of the web when web swinging and the loop de loop is lock as an upgrade, which negates any of the freedom you had from SM2 PS2. With swing assist at the minimum setting, instead of holding on to the web and running along it like in SM2 PS2, you are just forced on to the ground. Web wings can make web swinging completely obsolete considering you can fly through the whole map just with the web wings, requires minimal input, AND is measurably faster than swinging. Insomniac expects you to web swing the way THEY want you to, while Activision allowed more freedom and experimentation. Thats why people love PS2 so much and perfer the purely physics based web swinging and less of the automation insomniac gives. New ≠ better Stop meat riding mid traversal.
@@fionnbarrcasey5247 Fuck off. This is all subjective, you may feel like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 did a better job than this game did but you’re not everyone.
Honestly, I like this, Remastered and Miles morale's swinging equally. No other games swinging is as satisfying as them. I really like the air tricks. I don't care about difficulty
@NuggetMan420alt Oh well I like realism and less hand holding. Because of that, the swinging is more dynamic and can be more impressive when stunts and air tricks is pulled off. You know, you feel like you just swing that and not felt like it was artificial. Fun. ✌️
I think You used a mod. Dude, can you make a video about what you did to play this game on the computer? I think it would definitely be great to play the game in this form. 🙂
can someone explain to me the difference between the web swinging in this and the swinging in 3? people keep saying its different but as far as i can tell you just speed up quicker in 3 and have some more visual effects while moving

In the ps2 game you could actually get caught up on a wall if your momentum was wrong, or you'd runn along it if your distance was too close, you actually needed to develop a feel for the horizontal and vertical world. As good as the new games are with the web slinging, they still lack a refined horizontal mechanic, and even vertically isnt an issue either because even when you're above the building lines you can still easily get a full moment swing without dropping down in height by much at all and youbcan easily bounce or glide along walls as you pass by them as if they're made of bumpers. These are all the reaspns why the ps2 game still has a feel to it that is unmatched. I'd honestly almost rather they design the modern Spider Man games as more straight up action games with the old web slinging in the clouds design than try to do open world and miss the real fundamentals but I still really like what they've done with the franchise.
I think insomniac is adding a no swing assistance mode where it will be more like this game
Not to say your wrong, they have something for like zipping automatically I’m between buildings and if you could please reiterate what you said first
they're doing exactly that with their web swing assistance lmao
@@MrMckenzie. I don't think you actually read my comment.
@@MrMckenzie.this is not at all what it is. The ZSA, while good and functional, is hardly as manual as it appears. It just restricts your lateral movement and lets you hit the ground. In some instances I’d argue it makes the web swinging worse because it just stiffens the experience in the wrong way. Technically it gives you a better “pendulum” but it’s still smoke and mirrors. The core system holds your hand and automates almost everything, making it far less satisfying.
Man, you just took me back to my childhood/teenage years! This game was THE Spider-Man game back in the day. You know you could use the sprint and charge jump while you swung? We need this game remastered on the PS5 with 60FPS, 4K, and adaptive triggers for the swinging. Can you just IMAGINE how the graphics would look like?
I recently picked this game up for the original Xbox for 10$ and I am playing it on the xbox 360 and i got to say, This games swinging and combat is so good, better than anything we have now.
Theme goes hard
The beautiful iconic music!!! ❤️🫡💪🙏🥲🔥🔥🔥💯
Totally, that's so realistic.
Its fun
Cause IRL there's a masked vigilante swinging around NY.
So is today's Spider-Man 2 at 0% web-swinging with fall damage on.
@@youngspecial64 not really, unfortunately..
@@Mary-bj5un Bullcrap, it is...
Man that theme! 😊😂
I like how the streets are just empty
while in the sky
It’s a ps2 game so the render is a lot different
wow this is beautiful swinging the way he’s moving so flimsy and slippery it’s so weird he looks like a ballerina in the air he’s dancing and the way when anytime he swings you can see the weight and the speed of the swing like pulling him it’s so odd for a game to come out on the ps2 the developers had a great vision
So smooth and fast swings better than ps5 spider man 2 😎
Sounds like a skill issue
Bought Insomniac's game and I couldn't tell you what it was, but the swinging just didn't feel the same.
@@NoCluYThow is it a skill issue when it's universally agreed that insomniacs spiderman games don't have faster web swinging than this game lmao. You sound like a stupid fanboy. Not to mention that I 100% spiderman 2 PS5 way too quick and the story was ass lol. “just consume product and then get excited for next product" is literally what you fanboys do
@@marcuswalters8093it's the momentum system
@@marcuswalters8093 you have to use the web wings or else momentum dies really quickly on zero swing assist.
Nice video buddy, also thank you for playing the game with Project RE.
thank you for making this awesome texture pack 😊.
Is a full release planned or the lastest version is the last one?
@@SmoothGuy2 Unfortunately, it's discontinued atm. I'm the only one who worked on this project 95%. I wanted more people to work on the project but everything goes wrong.
Remember when Spider-Man games actually had a physics engine? Like, the web lines had collision and would bend or wrap around objects? This game came out in 2004, for fucks sake.
Dawg I spent hours free roaming and getting good at the web swinging, especially with the air tricks, I'll forever love the air tricks in this game
The air tricks in this game are so much better than the ones in insomniacs spider-man, More variety and i love how you have the option to stall them if you hold the X button
One of the biggest issues with insomniacs swinging isn’t necessarily the speed but the weight of the character feels like a feather like there’s no pendulum or transfer of momentum in between webs. This game feels like a man holding onto a web while the others feel like they’re floating. They should’ve made a new game engine for Spider-Man 2
there’s a physics based web swinging setting in the new game if you prefer that
Plus loopy loops
Spider-Man 2 is on a new game engine if I’m not mistaken. Plus you can tone down how much the game assists you in swinging. It starts off at 10 which is what the other games was at originally and you can bring it down to 0
I'm really glad to say that Spider-Man 2 has absolutely fixed the issues with the first game's swinging. You can even turn the "safety assists" off and take impact damage. It's amazing.
@@TNEQLkind of. At it’s core, I disagree, it’s not fixed. It’s better, but it’s not “there” yet.
its good to know that you can perform air tricks in this game
“My balloon!”
Best web swinging. The boost with left trigger was a smart touch let’s you add weight realistically. This is so open ended it’s a marvel and deserves more respect. Why they didnt go this way for ps4 I do not know but maybe they can in the future
Everyone watching this video & listening to the music:
👁️👄👁️
Aah the memories
This game has something about the swinging that even Marvel's Spiderman 2 doesn't. It feels more physics based and more realistic in a way
it was developed by treyarch (who make black ops) back when they made sports games, so they actually used the sports physics engine they had in house to develop this game, and its why its so visceral and real feeling, I loved insomniacs take but it doesnt have real physics, even though it really tries to make it look like it, insomniac confirmed its not running a physics engine for the swinging like treyarch did with this game.
@@ScarlettDXR clearly. I never played this game but I'm thinking of getting it
Because marvel Spider-Man 2 doesn’t rely on physics for its web swinging. It uses a set of animations that gives an illusion that the player that it’s using one.
That’s why the games sometimes feels like it’s swinging itself rather than you having much control over it
@@toragic3432 yeah you're right. One disturbing thing with the game is when you're moving in mid air and when you press the triangle button on an enemy, spidey stops in mid air and webs the enemy and zips to them. Its unrealistic
Love how rewarding swinging in this game feels. It's a skill you learn as you play and it's really the most accurate and realistic swinging considering it's based heavily on actual physics. The extra situational inputs necessary to keep a good smooth flow bring so much more realism. You actually have to react to buildings and surrounding.
Spiderman PS5 swinging just looks better but that's because they're doing most the work for you and you're mostly just watching.Theres not much room for error. The game constantly nudges you away from the errors you're making for the sake of making it look smooth but there should be consequences for hitting walls and signs. Its all part of learning to swing and its a fun challenge in this game.
People think its better because they made it too easy so that it looks better.They dont realize its automated to the point you can just hold R2 and thats it to get where you want. Thats not nearly as fun as actually putting in the effort to learn swinging mechanics that force you to react and swing well.
Finally someone put my exact thoughts into words. If a Spider-Man game could combine all the best things about this, Web of Shadows, and PS5 swinging we’d have a system that people could probably not stop playing. As good as PS5 is, I yearn for the og experience that just feels right
Thanks to Jamie Fristrom for the animations
Nostalgia
Esse jogo é muito bom, com certeza merece um remake, ou pelo menos um remaster.
provavelmente nunca vai ter, pelo fato de ter sido da era q spider Man pertencia a activision nos jogos, e atualmente é a insomniac
Can you do more of these? Maybe make a video on how fast you can swing in this game as well.
Fra pazzesco sto video complimenti , swingare è sbrecs
Aaah the nostalgia merchants at it again
NPC big mad
@@headshotmaster138nostalgia merchant wahhhhh wahhhh
@@zacharyspiker8090 stop crying zoomer NPC.
Honestly, the swinging in this 20 year old game still feels better and more nuanced than sm2 ps5. This one you can feel the speed as you swing through the more speed upgrades you got. And has more variety of air tricks.
Stfu seriously you have no idea wtf you are talking about
@@km09.You spent $70 on garbage, cope harder.
Have we played the same game?
@@inkchariot6147 Crazy opinion.
The last point and the point about air tricks is straight up not true and most of this is personal opinion and not fact.
new spiderman games aint got shit on this game when it comes to swinging and the vibe i got with the music it was crazy took me back to when i was 4 years spazing the fuck out with tobey maguire spiderman i really wish i could go back man
Oh yea guys is incredible
That’s why we have mods for pc. To do what the developers failed to do
can you do a comparison of this and sm2 (2023) with web swinging assist turned off?
I remember i just used tovswing swing and swing
by alot, this game is still my favorite spiderman game
The Insomniac games swinging feel scripted
you can turn that off
@@lakedaemon i've seen the videos with assist turned off. still feels scripted. there's no weight, too many forced animations...
@@lakedaemonI have and the only difference is the web resistance and no barrier. Several aspects are still automated like webs automatically releasing
@@s1me007it is, it’s very automated still
@@lakedaemonI think what people say by scripted is the swing button is the same as the sprint button and is the same as the parkour button and is the same as the wall run button. SM2 had different button combinations for wall runs and sprint was left trigger. 0 swing assist doesn't remedy this.
I miss being a kid!!
I knew it was good but i didnt know it was this good, im starting to think about purchasing the game now
It’s because of the quick camera effects that’s what gives the web swinging it’s fast and dizzying affect
in the new Spiderman 2 if you turn down the swing assistance to 0, then it will replicate more realistic swinging physics
How did you get it to look this good?
Awesome showcase!
It’s on an emulator
I miss how zoomed out the field of view was. New games have the field of view way too close its headache inducing
I still think this is the abolute best. It has the best physics and it gives you the most amount of control
Ps5's Spider-man 2 is more polished and smoother, but I do really love how faster it goes here.
Still the best webslinging, still the best mini missions.
… grow up and remove your nostalgia🤣.
Newest Spiderman games (even before the further improved Spiderman 2 on PS5) made for a MUCH more fun and fluid experience.
This shit was great at the time but my god, maneuverability was terrible
@fionnbarrcasey5247
People really love striving for mediocrity now, huh?
The insomniac web swinging is carried by the animations, and that's it. Looking at SM2 PS5, you are forced to let go of the web when web swinging and the loop de loop is lock as an upgrade, which negates any of the freedom you had from SM2 PS2. With swing assist at the minimum setting, instead of holding on to the web and running along it like in SM2 PS2, you are just forced on to the ground. Web wings can make web swinging completely obsolete considering you can fly through the whole map just with the web wings, requires minimal input, AND is measurably faster than swinging. Insomniac expects you to web swing the way THEY want you to, while Activision allowed more freedom and experimentation. Thats why people love PS2 so much and perfer the purely physics based web swinging and less of the automation insomniac gives.
New ≠ better
Stop meat riding mid traversal.
@@fionnbarrcasey5247 Fuck off. This is all subjective, you may feel like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 did a better job than this game did but you’re not everyone.
Litty 🕷
The buildings seem smaller than i remembered
Honestly, I like this, Remastered and Miles morale's swinging equally. No other games swinging is as satisfying as them. I really like the air tricks. I don't care about difficulty
What are you talking about? Are you responding to someone else or click the wrong video?
@@tufflucal4037 Just givin' my opinion
@NuggetMan420alt Oh well I like realism and less hand holding. Because of that, the swinging is more dynamic and can be more impressive when stunts and air tricks is pulled off. You know, you feel like you just swing that and not felt like it was artificial.
Fun. ✌️
I respect everyones opinions. The points you gave were really valid
Well, in all due respect all games mentioned have better swinging than Marvel's Avengers swinging
Great Video. I will get the HD Pack aswell, looks sweet. Do you have Swing Speed 8? Im grinding towards it rn
👏👏👏 People have no idea
this is goddamn true
Show us more of that wall bouncing
Still the best for me!
Much more skill based web swinging that i miss
pay attention, the webs are longer, feels like he is traveling a greated distance here then in any other game with each swing..
And the best music
what the hell bro, this is soo good for a 2004 game, and insomniac spiderman in 2022 are still late compared to this
not only this game has best swinging, but it also has the best web swinging logics
I think You used a mod. Dude, can you make a video about what you did to play this game on the computer? I think it would definitely be great to play the game in this form. 🙂
search up how to install dolphin emulator - that's what this guy's playing on
The fov is what changes the feel, play spidey 2 or 1 youll feel the same
What are you playing on? Emulator? It looks so crisp
idk if the best... but this soundtrack omg
Better than Spider Man 2 (2023)
Ficou Muito Legal Depois Eu Ver Quero O Spider Man 3 De Ps2 2007
can someone explain to me the difference between the web swinging in this and the swinging in 3? people keep saying its different but as far as i can tell you just speed up quicker in 3 and have some more visual effects while moving
