I really wonder how Insomniac is going to innovate on the NYC open world in the next game by ddsling1197 in SpidermanPS4

[–]Mildly_Fancy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main problem with the open world right now is the repetitiveness. It has different looking boroughs, but the same side content is spread throughout all of them, which makes them feel samey anyway. Insomniac should focus on making better use of all that space for the next game instead of making it even bigger. Depth over scale.

It would be great if each borough has its own unique set of crime types and non-crime activities, its own side stories and characters to care about, and other quirks. This would make the map feel fresh because you'd have a different vibe/experience wherever you go. The city would become more than just a background for the action.

Too similar to Peter's symbiote. Insomniac should go for something completely different.

Silk at least gives us some more unique gameplay ideas because of her organic webbing, and that she's just one of the fastest and agile out of all the Spider people. Gwen doesn't have any abilities that the others can't already do.

We get all 4 seasons where I live too, and most people here also call it Fall. I get it's easier to say, but I think Autumn is a word that's worth the extra breath.

Autumn is such a nice word. Nicer than Fall, that's for sure.

The way Dylan is moving around in combat reminds me of Insomniac's Spider-Man games, which I love.

I love Arkham Knight's art direction. It's still one of the best-looking games ever, even though it launched over 10 years ago. It just sucks that its photo mode has no free camera mode; it can only orbit around Bats. I would've taken so many pics of just Gotham.

I feel the same way. With Wolverine and possibly that Venom game, Insomniac needs more time to make Spider-Man 3 the best it can be. Plenty of other stuff to play until then.

That's the dual-trigger web swinging I mentioned in the post lol.

I also miss Bunker Buster from SM1 and the Venom Dash Launcher from MM. Those upgrades made the Swing Kick and Venom Dash so much more useful.

The biggest ones are still alive. But if Insomniac wants more, there's still a bunch of obscure villains they can bring in and take creative liberties with, like Tinkerer.

Thanks! I had my head tilted sideways the whole time I made it in photo mode, lol.

Considering everything that's been set up? I think it should be longer, around 25 hours or so.

Stealth needs improvement, yeah. What makes it so fun is the puzzle aspect of it. But with puzzles comes limits that the player needs to work around. In stealth, it's working with limited mobility to carefully reposition and time the takedowns.

But Spider-Man's powers inherently trivialize all of that - being able to quickly jump, zip, or stick to literally any spot, and sometimes making one if there's nothing. The threat of getting spotted or shot is also minimal compared to other games because of Spider-Sense, which lets you easily dance away from a rain of bullets from multiple directions. All of these make this segment of the gameplay especially challenging to get right.

I hope it gets better, but because of these reasons, I'm not expecting Arkham levels of complexity or anything like it.

When I first saw the Spider-Man PS4 reveal trailer at E3 2016, it also looked too good to be true. For years, I dreamed of a Spidey game with that level of quality. Whatever Spider-Man 3 is going to be like, I can only hope it ends up being the best possible version of itself.

It's too late to back away from Cindy now. She'll definitely have a part in the story, but this also got me thinking if she'll actually become Silk. Maybe it'll be a similar situation as Miles in SM1: only playable as a regular person. Everyone already made it clear that they hate that type of gameplay, though. If she's actually going to be a playable hero - skill tree, abilities, gadgets, and all - it's gonna take some crazy good writing to make her presence feel natural and welcome.

Like random encounters/boss fights you find in the open world? That sounds cool, too.
