If you weren't satisfied already by Spider-Man's cinematic showing at Sony's E3 2018 press conference, the game was shown off once again following the main show. Sid Shuman and Ryan Clements were joined by staff from Insomniac Games to show a live demonstration of gameplay, featuring lots of combat and web swinging.
It's looking extremely polished now, as development will surely be entering its final phases in the lead up to the game's launch in September. In one of the side activities shown, we see Spidey taking on waves of Kingpin's henchmen on a rooftop, and what's interesting is that several enemies are left to fall to their doom. It seems that Insomniac may have changed its mind about Spidey automatically preventing that from happening.
We also see another of the game's side missions, in which you have to find and destroy three bombs planted by Taskmaster as quickly as possible. The swinging looks wonderfully fast and fluid, and we're itching to give it a try.

this is sooooo goooood!
can't wait till september!
i already know that most of time will be spend just swinging and climbing skyscrappers.
I noticed the bit about the thugs flying off the building. I vaguely remember them saying a gadget will automatically web them to catch them but didn't see anything happening. I can see my new way of chilling come September will be to just swing my way around New York for an hour or so.
Swinging around a popluated (finally!) city like that does look great. It's too bad that the "side activites" seem like the typical open world fluff.
This looks friggin awesome! They have some clever people at Insomniac to be able to swing around a highly detailed, populated environment like that without the game grinding to a halt. Defo day 1 for me
I don't know about the enemies falling off, I'm pretty sure they got webbed back, it was just off camera. Who really cares anyway.
Watched about 3 min. I don't want to see anymore day one...
The game looks great, no doubt, but it's just doesn't do anything for me. I wanna like it so much but it's the only one I'm not interested in among the big 4. :/
Man just webbing around in the city looks fun
