I never played those games. Did those have web swinging mechanics as well?
In stealth sections, the grapple/web swing to move from ventage point to vantage point, is identical.
Obviously batman doesn’t web-swing around Gotham, he uses his cape as a glider, with the grapple as a way to gain speed.
I didn’t say spider-man didn’t do anything differently, I said everything in the game maps to something in the arkham games. That the general structure of the entire game, is the same.
I’ts a city-traversing superhero game with collectibles, criminal control points you can neutralise, stealth sections with vantage points and vent crawling, block/attack based combat with incoming attack warnings and special moves you can use when you build enough combo. Story missions that involve following a marked vehicle from above, finding ways into buildings and clearing rooms of bad guys.
Most games take inspiration from half a dozen other games. Spider-man, is just arkham, and doesn’t even mix it up in some way.
he uses his vape as a glider
Damn I knew kids were getting high with vapes but I never knew how high.
Batman swung between raised vantage points, although I’d say it’s a stretch to compare that to the web swinging mechanics. The batman one was really just a single button initiated animation as you moved from one location to the other.
I’d say it’s more akin to spiderman web grappling between perches like lamp posts
