Marvel Rivals players convinced it has the best playable Spider Man in gaming history NetEase GamesWith Marvel Rivals in Closed Alpha, some players are arguing NetEase\u2019s version of Spider-Man is the best playable version to date. Marvel is finally entering the hero shooter genre with Marvel Rivals, letting players duke it out in an Overwatch-style title. Players choose from a star-studded roster of heroes and villains while battling across various modes and objectives. The game is currently in Closed Alpha until May 20, and with a stacked cast to choose from, initial reactions are flooding in on NetEase\u2019s portrayal of Marvel\u2019s iconic characters. Spider-Man has been one of the major talking points. Yet, it\u2019s not because of his abilities or quips, although the latter was a criticism before release. It\u2019s because some players feel NetEase has done an incredible job with the Web-Head\u2019s wall-crawling mechanics compared to other depictions of the same character, most notably, Insomniac Games\u2019 version. While Insomniac\u2019s rendition of the character has been nearly flawless, the act of controlling the character hasn\u2019t been perfect. For example, one of the replies argued that Spider-Man can\u2019t run down walls like in Marvel Rivals, which is a fair criticism, albeit rather niche in usage. Many of the replies to AllFatherMedia\u2019s post were defensive of Insomniac\u2019s portrayal of the character, as many were critical of how little was shown that proves this take to be valid. \u201cThey are NOT being outdone just because they have upside-down wall crawling.\u201d one player laughingly replied, which happened to be the overwhelming consensus. Despite the criticism, AllFatherMedia did double down on their take: \u201cSame people who are telling me Insomniac\u2019s wall-crawling mechanics don\u2019t need to be improved are the ones who said we didn\u2019t need better-swinging physics, loop de loops, and slingshots but then lost their minds when they were revealed even though we\u2019d been saying it for years.\u201d As more players get their hands on Marvel Rival\u2019s depiction of Marvel\u2019s finest, more divisive takes will certainly populate the forums. For now, be sure to catch up on how to join the Closed Alpha so you can see what the fuss is about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
