Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Will Let Players Scale Swing Assist, Dev Reveals Max Assist Was Standard in Past Games

marvel's spider-man 2 swing assist

Do you want your swing across New York as challenging as possible in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2? If so, you can do just that, as the game will have a slider for “Swing Assist.”

This was revealed by Insomniac Games Director of Community and Marketing James Stevenson over on Twitter in answering concerns from a now-deleted tweet.

It’s not an accessibility setting. Its the opposite of that.

For instance – there are 10 levels of Swing Assistance on that slider. The game starts at the default (from the previous games!) is Level 10. So it’s a feature we let players turn down to get /less/ assistance if they want.

While most people might just leave it on default to be able to enjoy swinging as efficient as possible, I can see some gamers taking on the challenge and turning it down for a more “realistic” feel.

Would you slide down swing assist in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2? Sound off and let us know/

In other Spider-Man 2 news, Insomniac Games has also confirmed that fall damage can be toggled on/off as well. Couple that with swing assist turned all the way down, and you have one challenging trek across the New York skyline.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 swings out on PS5 this October 18.

I’ll just leave it at default, because why make things more difficult then necessary. Besides, i got the platinum trophy for the 1st Spiderman and plan on doing so for Spiderman 2 as well. Unless it’s a trophy requirement then i have no intention of adjusting any settings unless it makes the trophies easy not more challenging.
