What Do We Know About Spidey’s Combat?
Sony E3 2018: Questions We Still Have
Spider-Man represents one of the many ways in which Sony is at the top of the class, with a coveted exclusive that looks absolutely gorgeous. Spidey seamlessly scales walls and swings around with the kind of ease you’d expect from the web-slinger, and it all appears perfectly suitable to the subject matter. Reports are that he does whatever a spider can.
One aspect that we will want to keep a closer eye on, however, is the combat system, which seems to feel a touch on the quick time event side. It all looks badass when it’s in motion, but it could end up being somewhat simplistic if it feels more like we’re following a series of cues and watching the action unfold, amidst a bevy of pithy comments spewed from the mouth of Peter Parker.
It feels a bit like comfort food, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, per se – just something worth considering as we move forward. Ultimately, we do want to feel as though our efforts are rewarding, not just gratifying.
