Why Ultimate Spider-Man is the best SPIDER-MAN game yet 

Hi @J P First off thanks for expressing your ideas and thanks for watching the video! Don't worry, your arguments are heard loud and clear. You make some very solid points especially with the low ball we did in comparing rhino to civilian missions and how we sorta disrespected the significance of Miles and MJ in the narrative of Spiderman PS4. Just to let you know, my name is Ryan, I am one of the 3 sods that run the channel. The guy who wrote this video is called theo and I helped out with the script here and there. So in writing this we were thinking about how to approach a game that although Theo absolutely loves, is undeniably the less popular spiderman game compared to Spiderman PS4. At first, the idea of a proper comparison video that compared the priorities and game philosophies of each game was being thrown around in the first drafts of the script. We were thinking about comparing the narrative priority of Spiderman PS4 and how much more important that was for for gaming community at the time of 2018 with the more arcade and traditionally themed priorities of Ultimate Spiderman. However, we eventually landed upon the idea of letting Theo just absolutely Stan the crap out of Ultimate spiderman and make a piss take on spiderman ps4. He loves Ultimate Spiderman after all and it was the more entertaining and less obvious option that would give Ultimate spideman the attention it deserves which is the priority with these videos (giving underrated games a chance in the spotlight). If we compared the 2 games more formally, viewers would take it as an option to favour one or the other which to most viewers, would be spiderman ps4. So ultimately, in our intention to prioritise giving Ultimate spiderman the spotlight, we low balled spiderman ps4 with admittedly several unfair arguments. Well, at least that's the way I see it. I'm personally more of a fan of Spiderman PS4 and theo obviously prefers Ultimate as you've seen in the video so we try our best to just focus on the priorities of the video and making it entertaining rather than waffle about making our arguments fair (after all this is a RU-vid video about games, not a PhD thesis). But don't worry, we will eventually get around to making a video on Spiderman PS4 and tackle it with the depth it deserves. Stay tuned for that! Otherwise, thanks once again for expressing your ideas and we hope you enjoyed the video. -Ryan

@@RebootOverload Oh ok I gotcha, that’s cool. Y’all keep up the great work cause y’all just earned a new sub

@@RebootOverload If only the game wasn't short as heck, someone could really beat it in 3-5 hours lol if they didn't take their time.

@@TotallySearch I beat it in 2 hours n 37 minutes when I was playing with my nephew

@@silentresident1622 Puny god, I as a 13 year old beat it in 2 hours and 17 minutes

YEAH HAHA!

I saw a video that pointed out that these recurring Shocker beatups were a point of humor in the comics. Just goes to show how much of an Ultimate Spider-Man comic issue this thing actually was.

Bro omfg I literally remember RAGING at that part

I spent ten minutes during an accidental glitch that allowed me to constantly break his back to weaken him and after those ten minutes, I booked it for the door and got through. One of the most shameful and yet brutal yet NECESSARY AF ways of winning I’ve ever used as a child 😂

The most painful part

For me it was saving people under the cars at the rhino part & one of the last human torch races

I remember having to get my dad to help me on that part

This has ALWAYS confused me aswell. This was my childhood Spider-Man game.

I agree with the automation, but I just played PS4 SM on the hardest difficulty and fixed pretty much all my issues, it really makes you use the most of your tools, is the most fun.

Its cuz it didn’t do anything new. Spider-Man 2 was the first modern Spider-Man game.

@@inshal6420 nothing new? Like playable venom? Comic book art style? other marvel cameos like human torch and wolverine?

@@nahuelisimo1197 playable Venom was nice but it’s not a big innovation like Spider-Man 2 was. That game completely changed how Spider-Man games are made. Ultimate is not a bad game it just couldn’t get out of Spider-Man 2’s shadow. Sort of the same situation with the two Arkham games that came out after Arkham City. Origins and Knight aren’t bad but Arkham City was such a huge step forward.

The only thing that Web Of Shadows has over Spider-Man ps4's combat is the whole "Web-Strike" mechanic becuase that makes air combat a damn game changer.

@@youngspecial64 plus, in wob you can fight during wall crolling

YES WOS combat is better! END oF StOrY! 😎

@@remdowers6765 only when it regards to Web Strike and i "guess" wall combat... but overall, the combat system for Spider-Man ps4 is actually pretty diverse on what it can do and being pretty peak. It really shows us the great potential of how masterful it can get when insomniac takes it further upon future sequels... especially in Spider-Man 2.

​@@youngspecial64 It really isn't! Besides all the flashy moves and gadgets and finishers. When it comes to straight combat and making combos it's not that deep. I have played most of all the Spider-Man games and I can say Spider-Man 2 and 3 have more combat variety. Especially if you played the PS2 and Wii versions. Ultimate Spider-Man has a pretty decent combat system as well. If you have even played Web of Shadows then you'll know what you said was very laughable. Spider-Man has many moves he can do with his Regular and Black suit. That alone is already double the move set. So not much argument anyone could make for Insomniacs spider-man there. I have yet to see a Spider-Man game come close to that level of combat. So I wouldn't call insomniacs first outing with spider-man peak because there are MANY things to be improved in the sequel. The first game is as wide an ocean and deep as a puddle.

We only intend to give you the very best content possible... I.e. Breaking Bad

@@RebootOverload 99.1% pure Heisenberg memes

bro how? it migh be because i have been playing for almost 10 years but i fininshed it in 20+m

@@nobody7593 keyboard controls for the game are terrible and I have skill issues

@@ayushmishra8677 u see i evolved the controls were indead bad but still when you get better at it u swing like ur actualy spider man like realy you can swing so fast in this game

@@ayushmishra8677 Definitely use a controller. It's not very instinctive to configure a controller for the PC version of Ultimate spider-man, but it's possible 👍

@@vladimirlong7125 I wish I had one

Yeah it was so strange to me especially coming after Spider-Man 2 which had a dual swing animations, air tricks you could you unlock, slingshots and so on

I am glad I was able to shed some light into the lost gems of Spider-Man games. Underrated games like this are what we try to focus on with this channel in general so we’re glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the video.

I wouldn’t say sheltered it’s more so they can’t play it. All the games aside from insomniac are hard to get.

@@JPmoney99 piracy

@@arushjain1103 not everyone can do piracy

Yeah if you use everything at your disposal even the hardest difficulty ist to difficult. Alot of fun. I like tricking them into shooting their own guys with their rocket launchers.

Huhhhhh WDYM play as human torch and wolverine

Personally amazing Spider-Man 1 was significantly better than 2 and if we want to go further Amazing Spider-Man 2 mobile was better than console

FUCKING THANK YOU! It's painfully obvious that half the reason why he thinks Ultimate is better than 2018 is nostalgia.

Press start, then select "objectives". They'll tell you what side quests you need to complete in order to unlock the next storyline mission 👍
