Neversoft's Spider-Man (2000) PS1 Retrospective Review: An INSTANT CLASSIC

Ойындар

Neversoft's Spider-Man 2000 game for PS1 is regarded by many as classic, titular game in Spider-Man's gaming history. In this video, I fully examine all the incredible details that have earned it that reputation, as well as its plethora of hidden secrets, easter eggs, and references. I also had the opportunity to interview the Lead Designer on the game, Chad Findley, who revealed many exciting behind the scenes details about the game.

    I think it's actually because a lot of the drive to make art in mainstream culture has slowly become corroded into more of a drive to make propaganda (the difference being that in propaganda, the "message" is what the media is built around with no soul to it, while in art, the art itself comes first and any message is a posthumous byproduct that largely depends on individual interpretation). This was done through a complex web of social engineering (basically psychological warfare only known to the privy relative few) and cronyism, but the details are best left to voices such as that of James Corbett (whose site I'm not allowed to link, or sometimes even mention, here).

I do think limit on web fluid is something that Spider-man can come back too in some limited and maybe harder titles, some of the coolest moves like Punching Gloves and Web Barrier deserve to be recreated in more media. And how can I forget the swagger of Otto in the suit? Truly the king and when it returned in Beyond Corp. arc with also black and white variant I was the happiest.

    The greatest to this day. Rino Romano is the only voice I hear when I read the main continuity comics etc. he nailed that tone of the comics of its time right off the rip. The cast of characters (with the voice actors from the 90s cartoon and Spider-Man unlimited), the love of the mythos and tommy talarico’s suicide is iconic. I was reading comics as a kid, and wizard magazines thanks to my mom and dad, but when this game came out along with marvel vs capcom, it was and still is everything. I still own my original copy of the game, the booklet , and the sequel game , enter electro along with marvel vs capcom 2. Gems of comic book /super hero games, and games in general. The level of Easter eggs in this game walked so that the arkham games could fly. Also, as a fan of Keanu Reeves, its fun seeing the references to Speed and The Matrix.

    Worth mentioning that a lot of the graphical issues, like Black Cat’s missing mask or Spidey’s missing weblines, were fixed for the Dreamcast and PC versions of the game, which came out after the N64 and PS1 versions. Another fun detail is that the Lizard gets upset with you if you go back to ask for directions again. Thanks for covering this game, I’m a huge fan. The chat with Chad was especially neat.

    Damn, I remember this game so well even though I haven't played it in 20+ years! I remember kids in school were getting PS2s around the time, but I didn't get one until a couple of years into its lifespan, so I bonded with this kid in the same position who also only had a PS1 and we exchanged and borrowed PS1 games from each other, and I discovered several games so good during this time that didn't even make me feel I was missing out on the PS2 yet, this was one of those games! It's a PS1 classic, and this was such a great and nostalgic watch, awesome video as always!

    My PC had this issue that if I let the cut-scene play out before the Scorpion fight, Spider-Man misses the Bugle window in the cut-scene and the Scorpion fight starts with him falling and then a game over. It's later that I realized that I could get around the issue by skipping the cut-scene and then the Scorpion fight starts as usual.
