Marvel's Spider-Man 2's New Traversal Systems Show Insomniac Pays Attention
Marvel's Spider-Man 2's first gameplay trailer shows promising upgrades to the series' traversal mechanics. The previous game, Marvel's Spider-Man (2018), was a fantastic representation of being Spider-Man, complete with fluid traversal mechanics that allowed players to easily swing through New York City. However, some fans felt that the web-swinging mechanics had become a bit outdated and sluggish over time.
Thankfully, Insomniac has taken note of these concerns, as the gameplay trailer for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 showcases significant improvements to the series' traversal mechanics. Following a brief introduction to Kraven the Hunter and an exhilarating combat sequence featuring Peter Parker in his Symbiote suit, the trailer shifts focus to Miles Morales, who appears to be a more experienced Spider-Man compared to his previous appearance.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 takes its traversal mechanics to the next level with the introduction of the Super Slingshot move, which Miles swiftly puts to use. This move involves Spider-Man using two parallel poles to pull himself back and launch himself through the sky with tremendous force, surpassing the speed of previous Spider-Man games.
Once airborne, Miles showcases another new traversal technique - a wingsuit that enables him to glide between buildings at a considerable speed. As he navigates through the city, he even encounters a wind tunnel between buildings that propels him even faster through the bustling streets of New York.
After encountering the Lizard, both Spider-Men are in hot pursuit, chasing him and some of Kraven's gang through the bustling streets surrounding New York City's rivers. Fans are thrilled with the enhancements made to Marvel's Spider-Man 2's web-swinging mechanics. Although the movements and animations appear to be similar to the previous two games, it seems that the web-swinging in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is much faster, with Miles soaring through the air at a rapid pace after each swing.
Furthermore, the spotlight returns to Peter's Spider-Man as he uses his wingsuit to glide into a suspended train carriage, potentially signaling more environmental interactions in the game. Based on what has been revealed so far, it appears that Insomniac has taken fan feedback seriously when it comes to improving Marvel's Spider-Man 2's traversal.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 launches this fall, exclusively for PlayStation 5.
