Spiderman Homecoming brought back my love for Spidey so hard; this will be the game which sells me a PS4

 

[WordsintheWater]

I hope there's a lot of indoor environments like is shown in the concept art.

 

[Rorschach]

Can't believe I'm looking forward to a Spider-Man game so much. Nice video.

Same.

 

[Gurish]

Visuals look good but hope they really polish these animations as they look a bit unnatural the way he switches between them:
]

Animations seems pretty much perfect imo, best I've seen in open world.

 

[Equanimity]

Damn!

That swinging looks really good

I agree.

Those visuals are pure wizardry.

It's the closest thing to CGI running on PS4.

 

[onemanasylum]

You're the first person I have read complain about the animations in Spider-Man PS4.

I see a pattern.

He is doing this in every PS4 exclusive game thread....Spidey looks amazing damn. The Animations are outstanding.

 

[Acquiescence]

That's Withnail and I kitchen scene levels of putrescence right there. How many fucking rats is that room the home to.

 

[GravityInsanity]

 

[WordsintheWater]

So Bryan Intihar emphasized that they are listening to fans about the Web swinging and that it's already been sped up from the demo they showed at E3, should please a few people.

 

[Brine]

This game will force me to buy a PsPro and a 4K TV during some holiday deal.

 

[The God]

Someone please gif the traversal at the 30 second mark

The Ubisoft pattern.

That being said, he wasn't entirely wrong about Days Gone's shooting lacking any form of kick to it.

The new bits and pieces look great. I really wish we got to see more. Definitive Spider-Man experience right here.

Best wishes.

 

[xxracerxx]

Fingers crossed for Hot May!

Quick n Dirty

I hope we can see ourselves in one of the Glass buildings , like some Spiderman movies shot.

 

[Cyber Caesar]

Finally a worthy Marvel Game. Can we get a mature rated Blade next please Sony?

 

[xenorevlis]

WIP.


The swinging does it's the stiff blend to wall running take ruins it for me. The wallrunning in general seems weird to me as he seemingly ignores the geometry of every building, (did so on the crane as well in that QTE), but that's probably for playability.

If it's WIP then I don't see a need to be worried about the transition (tweet them, of course!) They did mention having increased his web swinging speed so they have to match the other traversal mechanics to that too now.

Just be careful, all this talk about seeing weight (or lack thereof) might get onemanasylum in here going on about how you can't see weight, only feel it (RIP all animators and action movie actors in the world).

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Is the music featured in this video from the game itself?

Sounds really good!

Needs the little zip he does shortly before

i mean if they add morbius to this game they can have a mission where blade comes in to help hunt him down

A Blade game would be great.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

That running up the building animation does look weird. Like, there's no weight to it.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I hope that means his suit can get damaged in the game and not just for concept art.

Also i believe this is the first look at Kingpin and one of the early missions were Spidey takes him down.

 

[Cyber Caesar]

DLC would be so bought. I love the fact that they made Peter an adult.

Give it Metal Gear Rising slicing and dicing enemies to pieces that then start to turn to ash.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

WIP.
Do you have anything to add to the discussion besides shitposting? ANYTHING of worth?

Just a little joke man. But if you want my opinion, I think it looks fantastic. Not enough new footage for my liking though.

 

[vivekTO]

Can't be that precise on web but anyway.

Some new environment damage too!!

hnnnnnng

jesus christ peter clean your room man

Animations seems pretty much perfect imo, best I've seen in open world.

Arkham Knight and ACU exists and have better animation blending than what i've seen from this game so far. Spiderman seems to stop/switch between poses on a dime constantly and goes back to his default pose really quickly. Which, although he's spiderman and is supposed to feel nimble and look nimble, looks a bit stiff. Rewatched the e3 video to see more instances of this and the animation blending seems to be the culprit more so than the animations themselves. I'm not saying they're bad, but certainly not best in the open world genre right now.

If it's WIP then I don't see a need to be worried about the transition (tweet them, of course!) They did mention having increased his web swinging speed so they have to match the other traversal mechanics to that too now.

What worries me is that this is the same issue that pretty much every spiderman game has in the first place when it comes to animation in comparison to the Arkham series. Them speeding it up is a bit disappointing to hear but I understand it's likely for the sake of playability. Amazing Spiderman 2's opening sequence was great at conveying weight. and the Arkham games were pretty great at doing the same, (definitely not very naturalistic tho) for combat sequences with incredibly nimble characters who used more kicks than punches like Spiderman.

Just be careful, all this talk about seeing weight (or lack thereof) might get onemanasylum in here going on about how you can't see weight, only feel it (RIP all animators and action movie actors in the world).

Haha stahp.

This is kind of a non-sequitur, but it baffles me that there aren't more vampire hunting video games in general

Seems like a concept custom made for games

I think You might be seeing some issue here n there cause you might have some animation background , just like me , I can nit pick something in there(like stretch leg during wall running transition , might be MB, can't say). but if you show this footage to anyone else , i am sure 90% will say the same "best animation i have seen" as i have heard that from others as well.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Holy shit this is looking excellent. The animation is looking awesome.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Is this about to be an animation thread again lol days gone just went thru this

This is amazing

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Looks cool but the whole "the way people feel about Spider-Man in here (taps heart)" from the director was so cringe.

Bro, he's a comic book character who already has a load of different personas/storylines/IP's who's transposed into a whizzbang video game from a whizzbang Hollywood action movie.

I'm not playing Forrest Gump here.

 

[Anung]

The wait for this game is going to kill me.

The quote is "We understand what this character means to people in here (taps heart)" I don't see anything cringey about that. And I dunno about you, but Spider-Man is way more important to me then Forest Gump.

AK's animations were also great, but not as smooth as in Spidey, they are just outstanding.

ACU? ROFL c'mon man, don't be ridiculous, not even close.

 

[eizarus]

Spiderman was the reason I bought a PS4Pro. I can't wait.

Inb4 game is cancelled

Naughty Dogs is making it.

Are you fucking serious???? If not I will have a petition ready to have you banned. I'd kill for an ND Blade game. I have faith that they can make a good action game (not in the style of Uncharted and TLoU)

 

[Sn4ke_911]

"I hate the suit"
