ThisMarvel’s Spider-Man 2swing comparison video has made fans realize just how much more nimble Peter and Miles are in the sequel.
Twitter user @NewSalvage has shared a video ofInsomniac’s new Spider-Man game, which shows how much better Peter Parker has got at swinging between games. The side-by-side comparison features a clip of Spider-Man gliding across New York City in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and in Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, and it’s pretty obvious that improvements have been made to the game’s swinging mechanic.
As you can see from the video below, swinging has become much faster and more streamlined in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Somehow, the sequel’s improved swing feels so much more exhilarating and gets the superhero from one side of town to the other much quicker than it did previously. It’s not revealed what setting theadjustable swing assistis on, but we’re not surprised thatsome players are having hilarious teething issueswith the new mechanic.
This isn’t the first time fans have been impressed with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Shortly after the game’s release, fans were quick to point outhow bizarrely detailed New York City’s rats now are in the sequel. Despite the fact the little critters just scurry along the floor, the creature’s model features photo-realistic fur, whiskers, and even claws. As pointed out by other players though, there is actually a reason for this, and it’s related to theSpider-Man 2 spider bots.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
