Spider-Man Combat (New Game Informer Video)
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
This was what I was most worried about and thankfully it doesn't look like it's leaning too hard into mindless Arkham mashing. The gadgets in particular look really fun.
I couldn't notice any hints of it in the video but I'd hope that enemies with projectile weapons can be reacted to with the Spidey sense like in the Spider-Man 2 game, particularly since going airborne seems to render the grounded mooks pretty ineffective in this footage. It'd be godlike if the game had something similar to Bayonetta's Dodge Offset but I'm gonna assume that's not the case.

Looks like a fighting game at times. Very stylish. Love the minimal UI that moves with action.
They probably think it's a great trade-off for having such a big coverage by a pretty well known mag. I suppose.
Admittedly, I'm kinda intrigued to see how versatile the mix up between melee, webshooter and gadgets are after hearing him talk about it.
Considering the overall response to the game and videos. I think they are happy.
I've seen some clips of bullets flying by in slow motion... So maybe?
GI got the worst quality video coverage in gaming
Sub HD videos in 2018 for the big Sony exclusive???!!?

I'm speechless, I have no speech!
Goons are people like you or me who also bleed when someone hurts them!
we're still tuning, but man you gotta use all four (webs, aerial, gadgets, environment) if you want to deal with bigger fights in the game
Best video yet for me. Loved all the options with the different gadgets (like the time he put that tripwire thing on an enemy and it slammed him and the other one together, that was great) and all the environmental interactions and aerial moves. That stuff encourages experimentation! This video just increased my hype levels to the max. Looks like they're taking a bit of the Arkham formula and putting "Spidey" on it. Absolutely amazing.
This bit I'm not wild about. Up in the air too long without something keeping him there. Too far into the DmC air juggle category for a realistic world.
