Every day leading up to E3 is pure torture.

Maybe they can do it like Batman Arkham Knight with all the side content being linked to other known criminals in the verse.
Honestly, I'm pretty much sure that the combat, the main missions and story and what not are going to be solid. Aside from the swinging mechanics, the thing I'm most curious about is the open-world, side content, and if there are randomly generated missions. It'd be interesting if side-content/missions did dealt with specific gangs and what not which had their own mini-story arc finishing with a bossfight against a known villain that may not be part of the main story.
Also, it'd be awesome if they blew it out of the water with randomly generated mission variety in the open world. The other games basically just had like 5 or 6 mission types that just repeated over and over.
On the one hand, part of me goes "well they're giving it the first party treatment, they'll do it right" but then another part of me goes "well Second Son was a fully owned first party game and its open world mission variety wasn't all that great"
This would be the best. Give about 5 villains and /or heroes their own side stories that are loosely connected to the main story
Daredevil
Wolverine (dream)
Kingpin
Electro
Vulture/Doc Ock/Mysterio

Second Son was also a rushed launch/first year title.
Yeah, they can all be weaved into the main campaign and even impact it in different ways. It would be pretty cool if done right. I would also take fewer of those characters if it means they can be fleshed out more.

This was my game of show last year but I've slowly put it to the back of my mind and even Homecoming doesn't have me excited.
But when I saw this, especially seeing that suit again, it all came flooding back. Too bad Homecoming's suit does nothing for me. But THIS! This makes me want to BE Spider-Man.

Anticipate a release date and which games do you think the creators looked at as the basis for their inspiration.

That and the fact that the makers probably are working on a clean slate and not worried if using a particular villain in their game would risk overexposure, as they're not working from the older games as a continuum.
I can't see how this can have better transversal than Spider-Man 2 but let's see.
Anyways colors look horribly muted. It's a goddamn comic ffs. I mean, it doesn't have to look like Sunset Overdrive or be cell shaded but jesus, throw some colors in. I'm tired of this shitty realistic/gritty approach for everything.

Mario so low bomba confirmed lol
Jokes aside that's such a massive leap in views spidey gonna be big
Yea I was surprised at that too, considering it is the most recent one. The movie hype probably flowing over as well.
Speaking of this gif, I just checked Insomniac's site and the description says the game will feature a new parkour system. So this won't be just a QTE scene.

Looking forward to traversal. That will be a very important element. How fast is general traversal? What type of maneuvers can I pull off? Are there a bunch of unique environment interactions? Etc...

Imagine if Stan Lee comes and announces Spider-Man himself. This would make Sony insta own E3.
I'll say it gonna have all of this except for epic set pieces, peter parker struggles and somewhat good plot.
blockbuster set pieces? check

This gif gives me much hope for the swinging. The first Amazing Spider-Man game had the momentum and the feeling of speed nailed, but it also had cloud swinging, which destroyed the experience. This one looks like the web actually attaches to buildings now and the momentum looks good as well.
Also, no way this is coming out on PC too, right?

You can also see that the string isn't stretched out until he hits the bottom of his swinging arc, indicating that he had lost a bit of height between this swing and the previous one. Pretty cool.

It could still be a canned animation. Assassin's Creed 3 featured parkour too but when you jump through building windows it would play a canned animation of Connor running though the house in a similar flashy way to what the Spidey is doing here.
But Insomniac did make Sunset Overdrive so who knows what they have up their sleeves in terms of creative movement systems.
Less than 0.

I wouldn't expect it.
I've come around to it to, I didn't hate it to begin with and it resembles to new MCU suit a lot but with its own flare and identity. I imagine it may be altered a little if we do see it this E3 but they'll be alt-suits and outfits for sure for those who aren't fond of it.

They made and released Sunset Overdrive in 3 years, so there is a small chance, if development is going smoothly. They started on this in 2014 right after Sunset Overdrive, so this has been in development for 3 years now.
That trailer was supposedly in engine footage from a PS4, so it's looking like things are going well for it to look that good last year.
October is looking nice now that Red Dead Redemption 2 has been delayed
Spider-Man would certainly make up for that.WordsintheWater

I'm crossing my fingers so hard that this releases this year and it's showing at E3 blows minds.

Also we haven't seen this thing really since that E3 trailer, sure we got that small tiny look at it during the Pro reveal, but that didn't really count. I hope they deliver.

Most popular video ever in the IGN Youtuve account is a trailer of a Spiderman movie. I think this game will sell very well.
Yes, but I'd bet 2018.

Anyone else get very weird vibes on the tone of the video? To me it looks borderline fanboyish in it's way to cover the game - wich doesn't sit well with how a big outlet like IGN should approach games coverage.
But perhaps it's just me.

This is probably my most anticipated game. Spider-Man 2 & Ultimate Spider-Man were treasures and it staggers the mind that all following Spider-Man games have missed the mark so badly.

This probably means Dan Slott is overseeing or consulting the story.
