My long-promised personal tribute to
My long-promised personal tribute to one of the greatest superhero games of all time... a multi-part retrospective series about Spider-Man 2! The one Treyarch made before they became a Call of Duty studio. The one with the open-world web-swinging. The one that still gets brought up every other conversation about the new Insomniac Spider-Man games. You know the one!
In this video, I present as much knowledge and research as I reasonably can on the behind-the-scenes development story that brought us an inventive (and still-relevant) take on Spidey's signature method of travel, and some surprisingly trailblazing work in open world game design.
