Spider-Man E3 2018 Demo

People are too busy complaining how gory and brutal in TLOU2 thread. LOL>
There's been plenty shown of Spider-Man by now. It's not going to get the same attention as games that were just announced or revealed gameplay for the first time.
Yea, I have pre ordered the game and wants to be positive but sadly I agree. Especially the dialogue.
Was pretty shocked how many villians they are putting in the game pretty much all of the B teir guys and most likely Goblin / Mr. Negative. Looks amazing!
Yes, it looks exactly like those last gen games but with better animations, story, graphics, characters, voice acting, and combat. But I can understand why someone would say that
I thought the demo they showed in the stream straight after the conference itself, was as good if not better than the conference demo. Overall the game looks fantastic. Guessing all those baddies will end up being the bosses throughout the game? Could make for some really fun encounters if done right.
devs said he auto webs them if they fall off a building.
So here's how they deal with that, a web trip wire is automatically connected to the enemies that are knocked off buildings, so that way they are webbed up to the side of any building they fall off.
This is my game of the show so far. The graphics were insanely good and the combat looks fluid. I love that Insomniac listened to fans and got rid of all that lame quicktime stuff that it showed in the previous trailer. I just hope that all the cool stuff doesn't happen automatically. I'm actually glad that they didn't show too much and left me in suspense at the end. This might be my dream Spider-Man game.
He isn't saving Spidey, they are doing the Sinister Six and the person who shows up in the end is the final villain, I'm gonna say it's Hobgoblin instead of Green Goblin just so they could pull the bait and switch.
This one didn't really do it for me. Too much combat and scripted sequences. Still excited for the game though.
The open world gameplay shown after the presentation looked more fun.

The show floor demo was available after the presser, and I went hands-on with it.
First thought: I need to play it again, and I won't do a full write-up (or answer nitpicky questions here, sorry) until I get one more crack. There's definitely a learning curve to the combination of Batman Arkham combat and "oh, I'm Spider-man, I can just web-sling out of a sticky situation" maneuverability. Getting a hang of the camera during the most intense and vertical moments was a bit of a pain—but, oh goodness, when I had anything decent chained together, I felt way more badass than I ever have in an Arkham game.
Demo appears to be a pretty unlocked chunk of the game's opening, and players can press R3 to view a bunch of open-world mission icons around a roughly 1,000 sq meter radius as seen through your spidey sense.
In my demo, a timer came up on the screen, and my kiosk host told me that if I hurried up and triggered the boss fight, I could stick around longer... but, whoops, this boss was on the other freaking side of the map. Long haul. By this time, I'd gotten the hang of R2 to swing, then X to jump at the perfect apex of the swing to get more speed. Also, L2+R2 to shoot webs directly forward and grab onto platforms, should there be nothing above you to logistically swing from. The result was that I reached my destination in time by absolutely WHIPPING through Manhattan. That speed sensation, combined w/ the city's density, is what's gonna bring me back to Spider-man. Super impressed thus far, but I still need to decide whether the cameras suck or whether I just need to get used to them.

Sounds great, thanks for the write up. Any impressions of the boss fight, I know it's the one with the Shocker, or were you not able to play that part?
Looks dope, was everything I was hoping for. I'm assuming Mister Negative will be forming his own version of the Sinister Six here.
So the mystery villain probably is either Doc Ock or Green Goblin. They built the suits, which seems like either and both have been the leader of the sinister six. I think if it's Doc Ock GG is probably still in the game as Osborne running for re-election had been teased as an important aspect of the story.
Peter seems suprised though as well, which could mean Goblin being back I assume he's disappeared with Norman as mayor or it's someone completely out of left field.

That was one of the most frustrating fights thanks to having to manage camera while web-slinging around a relatively small, walled-in space. But at its best, it was a cool demonstration of how web-slinging changes maneuverability in a tough boss fight, and how Insomniac appears, at least in this case, to ramp up monster powers in kind. (Good question.)
Ah, okay. That makes sense.
Would've been cool still to throw people off and fall with them, like Spider-Man 2 (PS2). But goes against the narrative so I understand.
Thanks for the answer, sounds good to me, hope they can fix a bit of the camera for release, 3 months to go.
From his lines in this video, it sounds like Negative is working for someone else.
It should be Mysterio. I'm gonna keep mentioning him until Insomniac announces he's in the game.
People like talking about negative shit i guess. This game deserves more love from era.
I just read Game Informer's E3 demo impression and it's better than I imagined. This is a special game y'all.
Some tidbits from the article on Gameinformer about the demo they got to play:
He mostly spent time looking at the details of the city as this was the same demo they played when they got the cover story. They also for the first time were able to fight Shocker, which sounds decent, but not great:
Here's the full article link so you can read some more details, goes in depth into the boss fight and what the details in the world are like.

That's the safe bet. I guess I am hoping it will be a twist and have some more interesting and complex versions of the characters.
The demo was fine but if you've been following the game it didn't really show anything new or interesting outside of villain reveals. If we get some MJ gameplay at some point I'll check it out but I'm not too interested in seeing much more until I actually get to play it myself.
From what I remember they will have those type of missions, maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I think the Shocker fight isn't a main mission, but not sure.
This is honestly the best showing of E3 this far. I am so fucking hyped for this again. Will be picking up a PS4 pro for this, God of War and all the PS4 exclusives I missed out on in the last 2 years. This, Battlefield V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are confirmed buys for me this year.
They didn't. Didn't you hear Electro's line about his new suit?
