Spider-Man 2’s web swinging started as a prototype for the previous Spider-Man game. The idea was shelved because the first game was already too far into development to completely change its core swinging system. They brought it back for Spider-Man 2, and it became legendary

It became so legendary that it inspired game devs like me to make my own game traversal focused inspired by spider-man swinging physics 💙

It was legendary, I think about going back all the time. This image here is always in my head.

omg YES! dont get me wrong i loved all the games including the first one. But i always felt it was whack that you couldn't jump down in the actual city streets

Not too long ago I made a point to someone that this build of web swinging is arguably a little bit better than the ps4 game & someone told me it’s cause of nostalgia… yes he was some dumb 19yr old

dead wouldn't even complete missions. all i did was swing all day

Man, give me a soft remake for this masterpiece. I’ve played it so much, back then.

I remember I got spiderman 2 for PC and it was a completely different game and it was TERRIBLE. Two different dev teams, and back then,you had to gamble sometimes with lack of info.

It is criminal the old school Activision Spider-Man games aren’t backward compatible on any modern systems

Can you please tell us what modded version is this? What’s the texture pack called and what emulator

Shit had no business being this fun. I still have this game

This looks boring and soulless lol like yea it’s good because it’s physics based but that’s it. He animations are so ass that it looks stiff asf

One of my top 5 favorite Spider-Man games ❤️❤️❤️

No matter what they put out today, this will always be peak to me

It was perfect and they shelved it because it was too good

Its kinda annoying we have over 3 things named spider-man 2

was one of my fav games

The Insomnic swinging us nearly been perfected sure, but in 2004 as an 8 year old this was the coolest thing I had ever experienced in gaming. The sheer scale and physics you experienced while exploring NY was next level.

Still my favorite web slinging, and when I got the new ones I was so disappointed in the way it felt, and I was told I was just being nostalgic and the new ones were infinitely better.

hmmm for some reason I don't remember this.

I play the pc version and ps2 version I like the PlayStation 2 version more

Love how much weight you can feel when dropping into a swing in this game. Really missed that feel and inertia in Insomniac's Spider-Man.

Man, i wish i can play the Treyarch version on PC with mouse+keyboard. : (

grok show me that old hulk game where you fought a giant robot if you got a five star wanted level

O ps2 era surreal .... até hoje eu jogo e oenso:que obra de arte

Explains why he mainly swings off 2 arms in this game

And it's still the best feeling web swinging

Really bad decision tbh.

It did, but the game around it isnt as good as people trie to tell us, I played it back when it was released and my god was it frustrating, and it still is, but its a good enough game... But why oh why could I get sent five blocks down the street by a guy with a big wrench.

What game is this?

So they didn’t use this but just ripped the web swinging system straight out of Spider-Man PS1? 🤨

Prototype, bruh it’s earth prime

Is this post referring to PS2 Spider-Man 2 ?
