First time I have been able to find info about past spiderman game sales.

New trailer showing off the open world.



I'll call it, this game is most likely gonna surpass Arkham City.

I'm going to nitpick for a second. At first I thought it was a camera thing but now that the trailer shows different shots I can confirm it.

Look at 0:34 and 0:37 of that trailer (maybe even more, but I stopped watching to post this). Before Spidey actually gets his websling off upon his descent, his angle changes and he starts to flatten out already. Basically like he's already swinging not only before his web grabs something, but even before his web even comes out of his hand.

I'm guessing it's due to the fact that they don't have an arc programmed for that steep angle of descent when swinging (or it had affected gameplay to the point that you always end up hitting the ground on that kind of swing so they thought better of it and just adjusted it), and if that's the case I understand... but I don't know why it's changing before the websling action.

It feels really unnatural watching it. I hope it feels better when playing it, but I don't really want much handholding for this one if possible.

I'll be honest, I don't see a single issue with the swinging. You're the second person I've seen mention the "flattening out" or whatever, and I honestly have no idea what you mean.

The swinging is beautiful, and nothing seems unnatural to me.

Basically the animation starts "swinging" before the web is cast or attaches to something.

Personally I think it's something you won't notice while playing. I didn't notice it while watching any of the videos before Blzer pointed it out. I'm guessing it's just how they programmed the animation and it's more obvious when transitioning from those trick poses.

Here, I just made a slo-mo gif (I'll spoil it in case you're afraid of not being able to "unsee" it afterward).

At first I chalked it up to the game's camera triggering a lower panning angle the second you press the websling button, which may be a part of it... but what's also happening is that he redirects.

I'm guessing this either happens when you're low to the ground, when your angle of descent is too steep, or maybe a combination of both. It doesn't happen every time, but when it does it rears its ugly head, and this trailer now confirms it.

Anyway, if it's allowed to look beautiful for all the things it does well (which is nearly everything, and it certainly does look beautiful), it is also allowed to look ugly for all of the things that it doesn't do well. This is one of them, although they might have excusable gameplay reasons for it.

That to me looks like it's by design. Press a button you want to feel as if its working instantly rather than a delay. I could be wrong but that's what it appears like to me.
