Spider-Man PS4 looks great, now which Spidey game has the best swinging?

Easily Spiderman 2

@jayc1324: What about Spider-Man 3 for the PS2?

difficult. I remember spiderman 2. That was great. Web of shadows was ok.

I noticed that the swinging felt worse immediately when I first played Spiderman 3.

@jayc1324: But the swinging is almost the same. Why is Spider-Man 2's swinging still considered the best?

@g2_: It just feels worse

@jayc1324: OK.

@superhero24: Why Spider-Man 2 and not 3 on PS2?

Amazing Spiderman, if the you imagine that there's some sort of thing he's always grappling onto.

@fc_tsukihanami: What web swinging? The bad ass cinematic one, or the crappy one inside the buildings?

Spider Man 2. Oh the memories

@ursaber: Why? 3 for the PS2 was identical.

2 came first. 3 didn't add anything new as you yourself just said. Its like every sequel to COD4. COD4 still reigns supreme.

@ursaber: Just because they replicated something good, doesn't mean it's not good.

Spider Man 2 was the pioneer. Spider Man 3 was more of the same things done by its superior predecessor. Ergo if I have to choose between two similars, I will go with the originator, the pioneer.

BTW never said SM3's was inferior. By virtue of the fact that its pretty much the same, all credit still falls on SM2.

Spider-Man 2, and it's not even close.

The new one seems good, though.
Physics based.

@Elbarto17: What about 3 for the PS2?

Nah, still Spidey 2.
It was okay though, shame the game was subpar.

@Elbarto17: I agree. I played Spidey 2 a week ago, and it's definitely the best Spidey game.

The webs are't attached to any buildings but it's still cool.

@fc_tsukihanami: Yeah.

Ultimate spiderman

@chris-sama: Awesome game.

Ultimate Spiderman

Spider-Man 3 for PS3/Xbox 360. Worst Spider-Man video game out of the 3 Raimiverse games, but it had the fastest swinging, quickest change of direction around corners, and overall traversing

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

don't @me

I would heavily support the first claim, and heavily contest the second one.

The swinging might be physics-based, but it could just as easily be animation-based. It's too hard to tell for me because the arc seems right. But everytime he completes an arc he does this weird hang in mid air like he just stuck to a slippery imaginary platform.

It's a problem I have with the animation in general; even though the choreography is fantastic, he almost always has these weird start-stops after he completes an action (cutscenes excepted).

@strongtower7: Hell no, Spider-Man was slow as hell.

@g2_: I have to disagree with you. Plus, if you unlocked his maximum swing speed (I think it was swing speed 7) you could go up to 200 mph (there was even a speed calculator on the pause screen). I think my max speed was like 196 mph or something, it was so fun how fast you could go. I played this on PC, but I'm pretty sure it's the same on PS3/Xbox 360.

Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man. They both used the same engine, and the swinging was the same.

@thehulksmash: No the swingings were not the same.

I really liked ASM's animations, but overall I think SM2 or USM.

They were basically the same. Spider-Man 2 just had a feature to let you catapult, and USM had a feature to let you climb the web. They were the only 2 games where you could trace the webs to the exact part of the building that it would stick to.

@thehulksmash: Spider-Man also felt more lightweight in USM, and SM 2 makes a jump after every swing. The speed, the momentum, and the physics were also different. And SM 2's swinging was harder.

Spiderman 2

Web of Shadows and ASM2, both for XBOX360.

I haven't played every Spidey release, but I remember Spiderman 2 having satisfying swing physics. Looking forward to trying more games, so I appreciate the suggestions from this thread.

Well, I'd say now it's Spider-Man PS4, for sure.

Spider-Man PS4 stomps and is followed by Spider-Man 2 in terms of overall freedom and movement.
