If my 10 year old 2002 self saw this I would’ve been blown away. I can’t even imagine being a kid, going on the internet and seeing that someone did this. I would’ve felt like anything’s possible. I would’ve dreamed a little bigger. People have always done cool things, but rarely this cool.
This game is literally my childhood. Even my parents know “Circus in town”. Imagine people on the ground. There should be a mod to add the people from the Spider-Man 2 game into this.
When I was a kid, I always found it stupid how you can’t even go down to the ground without dying. Then it was a satisfying fix once the Spider-Man 2 game came out.
As a child i always was dieing to see whats down there im so happy i seen this video now i will die in peace knowing what was down there absolutely incredible
You have literally, singlehandedly brought my entire childhood back with this. You have no idea how LONG I have wanted to do this, or how many times I tried. I got close on Spider-Man 2 PSP (same engine as 2002 PS2 game), but just got to see what the street looked like. Thank you sir.
My five year old self wouldn't have ever imagined this would've been possible twenty years ago. It's crazy how time itself allows people to do so many crazy things in old games like this that you would've thought not possible at all! And I'm surprised and baffled at the amount of detail the developers put on stuff that's out of bounds as well!
The leap between ps1 ps2 was the most noticeable change .its not much difference between ps4 ps5 maybe every port runs at 60 fps but this was really impressive back then i still own the pc and game cube versions
Surprised how decent the ground looks from street level. Other than the cars they could've for sure gotten rid of the instant death when you approach the ground.
All 3 games where on the ps2 though so why would they handle differently? Was there ever a better ps2 released (a bit more powerful) and they only sold that new one otherwise I don’t understand the limitations when they eventually made it work on the same console.
@@Skinned_fried_n_cut_up_potato part of it was the rush for when the game was supposed to release. The guy who invented the swinging system for the sequel talked about that a bit somewhere on TH-cam... Activision was supportive of the new system but by the time they developed it they weren't going to have time to make it look good or be very functional so they opted to use what they had and focus on improving the sequel
@@christopherbucher7017 Also I'm pretty sure since the graphics looked better in SM1, in order to optimize it's gameplay they couldn't go with an open world game. SM2 cut back a bit on its graphic presentation to run the game well.
@@Skinned_fried_n_cut_up_potato"Limitations" is just a stock response whenever anybody dares to criticise an older game. As you say, SM2 was realised on the exact same consoles as this game, and there were loads of other games with expansive open worlds too such as GTA and True Crime. This game had relatively small levels. It was absolutely not down to hardware limitations that Spiderman couldn't swing down to ground level. It was more likely a rushed game on a bit of a budget.
I kinda liked how this game looked better than spider man 2 on the same console, back then graphics couldn't be good if it was open world, only if it was mostly linear. It still somewhat happens today but to a lesser extent. Interesting times
Love that I can see more of the game like this. So interesting to see how they “cheat” with perspective and textures and such to give the illusion of an environment.
Always wondered as a kid to be on the streets in this game. I figured that's what it would look like, the cars would be flat. Couldn't go on the streets in this only rooftops. Spiderman 2 you could go anywhere instead of missions be divided up by only levels.
I remember when I was little I was trying to get down using a few tricks but I didn't quite succeed, I just came a little close, now it feels good to see it real. 😀
When I first saw this I liked it very much and also thought that cars were real, some time later I looked at the cars and they looked kinda suspecious, some time later I thought that the cars only have topdown view but didnt had proof , then when I watched this video I got proof that the cars only have topdown view in this game, also, I always wanted to go down to the road, now I can see what it looks like! Man this game is so amazing 🤩
Oh shit you can actually land on the ground and climb the lower parts of the building! That’s so cool i always thought you would just fall off the map if you get to ground level. Thanks for the video you just answered my life long question since i was a kid lol
Thank you omg I always to go down there lol. Ik the cars are just textures but it always made the city feel alive especially at night when you're fighting goblin. Man I love this game
I remember playing this game it was my favorite one while I was playing it my granny had to go to Walmart to buy all sorts of stuff in 2012 I miss that day so much! This game brings back that amazing memorie 🤗
@@TheN7Spartan With a multiplayer mode (wish that mode happened growing up), an adaption of the burning apartment, among other things. I think I remember a video mentioning said planned ideas.
@NebulaInTokyo Then it obviously isn't the same model, think for a second. Even then, at a simple glance one can realize that they look completely different, the SM2 model is way less detailed.
Yeah SM1 had better graphics overall. SM2 shone because of its groundbreaking gameplay and physics based swinging, not the presentation. If anything it looked worse, but I doubt the game would've run well had it been as good visually as this one.
@NebulaInTokyo No it's not. I'm not gonna argue with you if you can't just simply do a side by side comparison, even the proportions and physique are different.
This game was a great follow-up to the PS1 Spider-Man games. The addition of a progressively unlockable combo system, plus the power of the hither-to-then new-gen consoles was great.
Always found it funny how games that won't allow us to go on the ground in rooftop levels (Oni, Spider-Man, Etc.) only made us want to go on the ground even more
I remember buying this game almost 22 years ago,- yes, it's been that long. I always wondered what the entire city looked like. Wow. I'm blown away. I have always said the city in Spider-Man 1 looked better than Spider-Man 2. I wish the developers had kept it. One could only imagine how Spider-Man 2 would've turned out. Also, the city in Spider-Man 2 was supposed to have sewers as the Lizard was supposed to be a character in the game. Maybe if you mod it, you might find it.
I was 13 years old when this game released and I’ve always wondered what the areas beyond the map and the ground looked like. I still own this game on the original XBOX.
If this game was open world THIS Would be the Best in the Trilogy and would absolutely sh*t on Spider-Man 2. This Game has better everything than Spider-Man 2 just not Gameplay tho it is still Amazing. Still prefer it over the other 2 and Spider-Man 3 as my second favourite
Your opinion. Respect it. Just don't think 2 Is THAT Good just because of Gameplay Improvement and open world. 1 and 3 have better story and voice acting.
@@LOMAZKO7 Gameplay is mainly the selling point of 2. The swinging is the only game to this day which is physics based, not even the Insomniac games fully commit to it in that aspect. While it's your opinion, which is fine, brushing off the gameplay aspect, which is a huge thing for a game, is kind of pointless.
I would like to see a mod of all these cities levels stitched together and made competent of both city streets and buildings with hit detection with spider-man 2's crime fighting system. along with the leve;s main objectives. btw after 21 fucking years my dream is made reality. thank you
I remember as a kid I remember one time just one time going on the ground and remember being surrounded by a bunch of goons and getting shot up lmao and I dont remember how I got there and I tried to do it again but never was able to.
At 8:23 there is an empty parking lot right there that if you notice, compared to the cars on the road, the parking spaces are like 4 times way too small lol. Not at all proportionate to th actually appearant size of the cars lol
I remember when I played the offer I was crawling on the wall and died and instead of the camera going up it went down with Spidey and I saw the ground with the floating car textures 😅
Idk if i already commented but tha k you for doi g this. This was my first game ever and i was wondering how big the map was and other things youve answered for me
Lol I always wanted to do this as a kid. This i awesome. It would be cool if you could mod in actual working cars and characters to fight that would be so cool Edit:also, i completely forgot about that annoying fake glare. While it does give me nostalgia seeing it and remembering it, my god how annoying it is seeing it now lol. Its so distracting but i feel like back then it didnt bother me and i probably thought it just made it look more real lol
I remember this game I was little kid playing this game with my cousin I remember my first time I play it I tried to go ground also and my cousin ask me that I couldn’t go in ground I told him why he said cause that how it is but now I know now I miss playing it back than 😁😁😁😁😔😔😔😔
Fun fact back in spider man 2002 it has secret cheat code that is unused name : FREEMAP then it turns it looks like similiar spider man 2 and spider man 3 and it would be free roam now 😂😂😂
