Fast travel in video games is a convenient mechanic that allows players to avoid tedious backtracking. However, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has a unique advantage with its web-slinging traversal system. Despite this, Insomniac has taken fast travel to the next level by utilizing the power of the Playstation 5, allowing players to instantly teleport anywhere in New York City. The community has been buzzing with excitement after seeing this impressive feature in action.
A month ago, the game developers showcased the fast travel mechanics, but it recently gained viral attention on Twitter when streamer PainkillerQ8 shared his experience. The clip demonstrates Miles effortlessly web-slinging, gliding, and even skimming the water as he traverses the city. Additionally, it reveals the ability to open the map and instantly teleport to any desired location.
Fans have expressed their satisfaction with the fast travel feature, although some still prefer the exhilaration of swinging through the city. Retneysholocron firmly stands by swinging, stating, “Hell nah, real ones will swing all the way there in real time.” The clip also made its way to Reddit, where users like Vaibhav_Gupta_01 praised the smoothness of the fast travel, saying, “The transition from one location to another is smooooth. I will do both depending on the mood.”
While opinions may differ on the preferred method of travel, one thing is certain: Insomniac’s fast travel mechanics put Bethesda’s Starfield loading screens to shame. Nasdorachi bluntly compares the two, stating, “Spider-man 2 fast travel just casually dunking on Starfield lol… in Starfield, I get like two loading screens and it skips the landing animation and puts me outside on a planet with no space suit on lmao.” It’s safe to say that Insomniac has set the bar high.
Whether players choose to fast travel or swing their way through the city, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 offers both options. The game is set to release this Friday, October 20, so fans won’t have to wait much longer to experience the thrill of traversing New York City as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
