First Spider-Man: Web of Shadows combat footage
Category: Industry, Posted: 06/21/2008 at 11:55AM CDT by Tim Mellish, Staff Writer
Where Spider-Man has dominated in the movie industry, he has done the same for videogames. Without a doubt, Spider-Man has enjoyed the most success when it comes to titles focused soley on a single superhero. The first Spider-Man game showed us a superhero game can be done correctly, while Spider-Man 2 gave us the first real iteration of an impressive web-slinging mechanic which dominated the majority of player's time.
While it's true Spider-Man 3 did not meet expectations, overall the quality of Spider-Man games have been higher than most. Now we are at the dawn of a new Spider-Man title known as Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Not based on any of the movies (which to some severly handicapped the progression of the previous games), and bringing to life a new combat system, Web of Shadows may bring Spider-Man back to the form we all know and love. If you don't believe me just check out the below footage and make a decision yourself.
Not too shabby huh? While still in early development, notice the weight to the combat moves, subtle bullet time transitions, and the switching between the red/blue and black suit on the fly? Spidey fans, we may have a winner.

That does look pretty good. I like the fluidity with which Spidey attacks his opponents, and how it seems to be tied in much more closely with his acrobatic moves than before.
Can't argue with that. Looked fun to me. Here's hoping it can avoid the tragedies that plagued 3...
wow, heh. Not much I can say about that the movie speaks for itself.
Does look interesting so far Spidermans been in need of a decent game for awhile now and no Toby Mcquire!
