Spider-Man PS4: 10 Major Worries Nobody Wants To Admit
9. Too Little Animation Variety
This may sound like a petty complaint, but one of the things that makes swinging and fighting as Spider-Man so great is the variety in the way he moves about. So far we're not so sure about that.
When originally shown off, Marvel's Spider-Man seemed like it would be completely satisfying this worry, with Spider-Man pulling off loads of different techniques and movements in the air and on the ground.
However, recent E3 2018 gameplay has shown Spider-Man repeating the same animations over and over again when traversing the city. Although these animations are pretty amazing, there's only so many times you can see Spidey swing whilst looking backwards without it getting old.
Combat also had a similar problem by having the same finishing animations when fighting enemies. Once again, these animations are really great, but it gets repetitive even in an hour of footage.
Insomniac has said that they disabled a lot of the finisher animations in the demo they showed, but that didn't clarify anything on the movement animations. Let's hope it works both ways.
