During this evening’s Sony State of Play, Insomniac Games revealed some more information about next month’s Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 ahead of its release on 20th October.
The game’s map has almost doubled in size, with the addition of the Queens and Brooklyn boroughs of New York City. To help Peter and Miles swing across the larger map, they can now use web wings to traverse faster. The game uses a new fast travel system which is unlocked through the district progress systesm, and Insomniac says players will experience “very little downtime” when using fast travel.
The HUD for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 looks more organic, as markers for activities and quests players have already discovered will appear across New York City. This is explained in-game as AR technology in the lenses of the Spider-Masks which, given the technology already used by characters in the Spider-Man universe, Peter and Miles probably sorely need.
If you’re fast travelling in Spider man games you’re doing it wrong or the devs did traversal wrong.
Agreed. Webslinging across NY is the best part.
