Spider-Man PS4: 10 Ways It Owes Its Success To The PS2 Spider-Man 2 Game
5. Physics Based Web Swinging
This is the one you've been waiting to see, hasn't it?
No game did web swinging like Spider-Man 2 until Spider-Man PS4 came along. The realistic feel, the rushes of speed and adrenaline and the sheer joy of flying over buildings had never quite been achieved before, and it wouldn't be until 2018 that the envelope would be pushed again.
Predecessors had taken the feature for granted, letting Spidey swing from the sky to allow traversal, and it never felt rewarding. Spider-Man 2's emphasis on momentum made it stand head and shoulders above the rest, and many people picked up the game just to experience it for themselves.
There's not much to say on a point that speaks for itself. Spider-Man 2's web swinging was second to none, of course Insomniac would want to push it further.
