Spider-Man PS4: 11 Fan Demands That Must Happen

5. Faster, More Dynamic Web Swinging

Fans rejoiced when the gameplay trailer for Spider-Man revealed the series would once again be adopting the physics-based web swinging that made Spider-Man 2 an instant hit. However, while momentum-based swinging has been confirmed, something about the way it looked in the trailers seemed a little... off.

Say what you will about the "unrealistic" web swinging of The Amazing Spider-Man tie-in title, but at least it looked fast, intense and cinematic. Pulling the camera in close to follow the action down to the streets made flying around NYC exhilarating, even if it didn't require any skill.

Consequently, while it might be mechanically more satisfying to gauge your momentum and choose your lines around the city, if the end result is as slow and as plodding as it is in the trailers, then it could be a fundamental problem.

Once again, Insomniac has said that they're listening to feedback about the swinging, but fans won't know how improved the system is until they see it for themselves.
