when you turn off swing assist in Spider-Man 2..

I absolutely love that realistically balanced inertia-based web swinging is finally getting the detailed attention it deserves with this series.

You see why raimi spider had chronic backpain

I wish there was a way to climb the web mid-swing, like in Ultimate Spider-Man If you held the triangle Peter would climb the web

0 looks so much more cinematic and it’s more immersive. I will never switch back now

[Artistofprocedure]

I'm glad they chose this it shows how hard it is to try and swing in real life even with a super abled body. Peter probably has to do massive calculations mid swing even with spider sense.

I've learned to not fight the momentum, but rather swing with it. I also use smaller swings when I'm close to the ground as well so I don't hit the floor so much either.

IMO web assist set to 1 is perfect. It keeps all the momentum and weight but you don't hit the ground (you can still bump into structures on the ground). Inside Manhattan, having the assist set to 0 is easy, the skyscrapers give you plenty of opportunity to gain height and prevent interruption. But as soon you go to Brooklyn, the buildings are way too short to keep a swing going (without doing tiny swings that are no fun), making you use L2+R2 and the web wings way more.

It’s so nice because since the invisible barrier in the ground is gone swing super close to the ground is satisfying and it reminds of rami scenes

Resembles Spider man 2 from PS2. Good times.

PS2 players be like: "Finally, some good fricking food"

Getting the swinging perfect without assist, is a mini game in and of itself.

Here are some tips if you wanna get good.
You actually require spatial awareness now unlike before so just pressing r2 when you want isn't gonna work. Two things to keep in mind is the taller the building the straighter his path can be because it's a more steep angle. Spiderman can shoot his web either left or right when you move the stick toward the building you want before you press r2. If the building is short, its best to shoot that webline earlier I'd say as soon as you fall past it's roof to let the web fully stretch and not hit the ground. Same thing with when you are diving, the web stretches even more. You can get inches above ground consistently if you know what you doing especially when Spidey hits a pose that leaves him upside down and you are inches away, the thrill is something else. So get good.
Last tip is don't fight the direction the web takes you because you lose potential momentum. It's better to quick bounce off away from the building with with left stick and X or let go to use another web line that takes you to your desired trajectory. It also forces you to interact with the environment more.
Those who have eyes for it can see the physics never made sense at full assist. it looks off.

We’re back to web of shadows territory where going too fast can actually hurt you

[hiimgamerspruzzino]

This is such a great setting they've added, as there had been a lot of talking on how the swinging in Insomniac games was way too easy and controlled. Well, there you have it players, now you can go the hard way if you want to!

[The_Meatslug]

when i first got the game i put all the settings to hard - web swing assist off, hardest difficulty, fall damage, etc. and it's been a lot more fun

[Mediocrespeciality]

Insomniac really missed out on the feature of running on the ground while swinging too low, just like in SM2 on PS2.

[GiveSic]

This might not make perfect sense but if you use the cornering ability that lets you make tight turns on a tower or something similar you can just spin around in circles and gain momentum. It'll make you dizzy but it looks really cool.

[southpaw]

It's going to be a while before I play this, but this looks like a huge improvement. I loved the 2018 release, but the web swinging was my biggest complaint with how simple and easy it was.
