The Web of Spider-Man 3 (2022 video game)

The Web Of Spider-Man 3 is an open-world action adventure, thrill combat video game based on the popular Marvel Comics character, Spider-Man, releasing in 2022, and is the sequel to 2017's The Web Of Spider-Man and 2020's The Web Of Spider-Man 2. Insomniac Games makes a surprise return at E3 2021 and announces they will develop the game, with 2k Games publishing the project and one more afterwards. Bryan Inthiar steps down the role as director of the franchise, with Brian Allgeier taking Inthiar's place as director. Allgeier honors the last two installments, after sales have made a reputation for themselves. Allgeier, at E3 2021, stated, "What is so unique about The Web Of Spider-Man video game franchise is that it is a coming-of-age story for Peter Parker and his identity as Spider-Man. The first game we saw him facing the Vulture and the Kingpin and trying to stop the Big Man's big crime syndicate of villains and the second game followed that up with Peter getting the infamous symbiotic suit and ending the giant story that started with the Big Man. This game starts a new storyline and we are proud to say that we have worked on new mechanics for the game. Although there are very similar mechanics, we want players to have a satisfying time playing the game, not the same game five years in a row".

Gameplay Dynamics

 * Although the combat system possesses the similarities of the last two installments, Insomniac has added more abilities and upgrades to add upon to that such as having the player be able to look through the eyes of Spider-Man and picking out hard enemies and getting tips on how to defeat them. The parkour and dodge system is enhanced, with the player now having the ability to interact with the environment while pummeling enemies (e.g. throwing a crane at a criminal).
 * The player (considering the hectic storyline involving Venom) has the ability to talk to random civilians in need and even after (SPOILERS) the New York symbiotic infection is over, the player can talk to random citizens and that will lead to interesting questlines.
 * Considering the storyline with Venom and the symbiote, there will be a "Survival Helper" system, where if Spider-Man continues to help victims, his reputation will go up and that will decrease the likelihood of being attacked by bandits and thugs.
 * The player has the ability to have a variety of swinging mechanics with the new wall-jumping and parkour moves added to the swinging mechanics.
 * A "Daily Objectives" tab is added the Spider-Man's cell phone, which can affect his reputation, the cost of his upgrades, and can sometimes even help continue the main storyline and its missions.

Synopsis
Several months after the tragic death of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker has a difficult time being motivated to continue his career as the Wall-Crawler vigilante of New York. As Peter tries to get over the death of his beloved Gwen, he encounters fellow vigilante, Daredevil, who tells Spider-Man that Chinatown cook and undercover mobster, Martin Li, is beginning to make moves around the city with the "Demons". As Spider-Man, with the returning Black Cat, try to stop Li and unfold what Li actually wants with the superhuman shipping to New York, Spider-Man finds out that a symbiotic figure has been recently spotted in New York, known as Venom. He learns the hard fact that Venom is Eddie Brock, looking to destroy everything Peter holds dear. Brock somehow manages to infect the entire population of New York and gives Peter one message; if he does not stop the virus that is spreading around New York, people will die because of him and his secret identity will be revealed. With the help of SHIELD, other fellow Avengers and helping hands from even the likes of villains like Wilson Fisk and Adrian Toomes, Spider-Man must save New York from turning into a symbiotic wasteland. Will Spider-Man have to reunite with the symbiote in order to stop Venom? In the midst of this, the symbiote creates a spawn that is far more powerful than Spider-Man and Venom combined...

Main Missions
Story: The game starts with a flashback of a fight between Spider-Man and Green Goblin on the George Washington Bridge, fighting over the unconscious body of Gwen Stacy. As Peter remembers that, he looks into the mirror of himself, picturing half of himself as Spider-Man. Peter dresses up in his new apartment and goes to the Trinity Cemetery to visit Gwen's grave. The player can control Peter and pay respects to Gwen's grave. The player then has the ability to swing around New York as Spider-Man and as the player gets a tutorial on the new swinging mechanics, Spider-Man stops by a new advertisement, which advertises for any individual who wants to buy Oscorp Industries, as Norman Osborn and Harry Osborn have sold the company and Norman is temporarily taking Harry to Europe to cool down from his addiction to drugs and Globulin Green.
 * In Mourning...

Objectives: Story: To trigger the mission, the player will had to have completed the "Daily Objectives" tab and Spider-Man swings to Chinatown at night after his spider sense goes off. Spider-Man swings there and ominous shooting and cannot seem to find it. As he is swinging, J. Jonah Jameson calls Peter and asks, "Parker, some gangsters calling themselves the Demons are having a shootout in Chinatown. Get me some pictures or evidence of the event!" Peter agrees and Spider-Man must swing and use his spider sense to spot where the shooting actually is. When the player spots the shooting, Spider-Man must stop the Demons, who are a Chinese gang of advanced, super strength superhumans, or possibly even Chinese gang members tested on to become superhuman. Spider-Man must use the new parkour combat movement to defeat the criminals one-by-one and afterwards, Spider-Man is greeted by Detective Jean DeWolffe, who claims, "I have not seen your face in a while... Good to have you back". Spider-Man agrees and DeWolffe tells Spider-Man that the Demons have been making serious moves in Chinatown, as well as the rest of Manhattan. Spider-Man's spider sense then goes off yet again and the player needs to find the disturbance and Spider-Man eventually finds out that a Chinese restaurant is being attacked by armed Demons. Spider-Man must sabotage their shooting and fight a brute. After this, DeWolffe talks on the comms with a couple of other PD officers. An elder detective of Chinatown, Yuri Wantanbe, reports to DeWolffe that not only Chinatown is being terrorized by superhuman gangsters, but Hell's Kitchen is also being terrorized, but that someone is actually stopping the Demons, other than the PD and Spider-Man. Spider-Man jokingly thinks in his mind that Daredevil, the vigilante of Hell's Kitchen, is up to this. Spider-Man then must swing away and take pictures for the Daily Bugle and send them to J. Jonah Jameson. Jameson then sends a hilarious text telling Peter that he is fired.
 * 1) Pay your respects
 * 2) Perform the new swinging mechanic
 * Chinatown Riders

Objectives: Story: To trigger the mission, the player must go the Hell's Kitchen and Spider-Man looks at Hell's Kitchen and tells himself that it is the most corrupt town in the city. Spider-Man hears a lady screaming; "Help! Some foreign guys in masks are robbing the Kitchen Bank!" Spider-Man must go over there, enter the Kitchen Bank, but gets interrupted at the door with a superhuman brute. Spider-Man must defeat the brute and actually enter the bank, sensing ten armed Demons. Spider-Man sees that the Demons are using her powers to actually break open the vaults and almost kill the innocent bystanders and bank employees. Spider-Man must wait for a moment when the Demons go inside the vault of the bank, then quietly exit all the employees and civilians. The player can now have the choice to either swing back up to a ledge to quietly take them down (which is very difficult) or face them head-to-head. After this, Spider-Man thought the fight was over, but a brute wakes up and is about to kill Spider-Man with a spear, until a flying billy club hits the brute. Spider-Man looks over and sees Hell's Kitchen's righteous vigilante, Daredevil. Spider-Man and Daredevil chat, as Spider-Man tells Daredevil, "Damn, I haven't seen you in a while, D. How long has it been? Like three years? When you were asked by Captain America to join the Avengers, you declined". Daredevil then tells Spider-Man that the Demons are a dangerous group that have arised in the midst of New York. Daredevil observes, to Spider-Man, that he knows the Demons were a low-time group and even maybe witnessed a certain figure testing on the Demons using the superhuman shipping to the streets. Spider-Man informs Daredevil that DeWolffe, Wantanbe, and the rest of the PD are going to patrol the nights and afternoons in Chinatown to spot any more attacking Demons. Daredevil commands Spider-Man to follow him and the player must catch up with Daredevil and they both eventually go to a rooftop, where a rare Demon gangster has not been empowered with superhuman abilities. Daredevil opens the trap and interrogates the Demon, as Spider-Man watches and jokes around with how brutal Daredevil can be. Daredevil gets information and Spider-Man must pick up the Demon and hold him upside down on a building in Hell's Kitchen using the web (and a meter, so if the player kills the gangster, mission is failed). The Demon finally lets out information that the leader of the Demons is being contacted by one of the first crime bosses in the city. Spider-Man and Daredevil discuss over the fact about the crime bosses in the past years. Spider-Man tells Daredevil that the likes of Lonnie Lincoln, Silvio Manfredi, and Hammerhead have all been arrested. Daredevil says, "I fear the worst; I used to have a very brutal relationship with the Kingpin of Crime. Also known as Wilson Fisk, you may know him". Spider-Man moans in annoyance and makes a fat joke. Spider-Man and Daredevil must go the prison the Kingpin is being held at. When Spider-Man and Daredevil go there, they are forced to break in and avoid guards (or stealth take them down to increase upgrade points), Spider-Man speaks to Fisk, who intimidates Spider-Man by saying that he will crush Spider-Man. Daredevil talks to Fisk and the two argue and Daredevil says he is not afraid to imprison Fisk again if he breaks out. Fisk said he could have broke out when the Finisher broke out (from the second game). Daredevil interrogates Fisk and asks what he knows about the Demons, since the two claim that they know Fisk has something to do with the Demons and their anonymous leader. After trying to convince Fisk, he finally gives in and gives both Spider-Man and Daredevil a chip that he will interact with them. Fisk claims he hears that the Demons will be in uptown Manhattan sometime during the morning the following day. Spider-Man and Daredevil must sneak out of the prison and outside, Daredevil tells Spider-Man that he will meet Spider-Man in uptown Manhattan to find the leader. Daredevil is informed by Fisk, through the chip, that the Demons are in want of something from the old Fisk Industries. Daredevil goes away and Spider-Man sees a dark figure in the shadows stalking him. Spider-Man tells himself that "that's weird". Spider-Man ignores it and the camera zooms into the figure and reveals it to be Eddie Brock, who is unmasked with a black hoodie, hiding the venom symbiote...

Objectives: Story: To trigger the mission, the player must have aided at least 10 civilians or police officers in defeating more Demons. When that happens, the player must go to Chinatown and unsuit to become Peter Parker, who meets up with Ned Leeds at a Chinese restaurant. Peter reveals that he has become closer friends to Ned, as they both work freelance for Jameson and the Bugle, as well as being classmates a few years ago in Midtown High School. Peter meets Ned and as they first talk about their life, Peter brings up the topic of the Demons. Ned, with his Chinese heritage, jokes that the Demons probably have something to do with his family, as Ned's family were gangsters "back in the day", when New York was run by mobsters and the mafia. Peter asks Ned more questions and their food in finally served. The server is nice, but Peer spots that the restaurant manager, under the name of Martin Li, is seeming suspicious behind the kitchen counters. Peter notices that Li's eyes are that of the Demons. Ned asks Peter what is wrong and Peter tells Ned that he saw a Demon behind the kitchen. Ned tells Peter to go, as Ned will distract the waiters by doing something "stupid". Peter must find a way to sneak into the kitchen counters and eventually, Ned's distraction is so big, that all the servers and employees go there to help him. Peter must follow Martin Li without being spotted. He is eventually led to the restaurant alleyway, where Martin Li's eyes turn even whiter than the average superhuman and Peter must sneak and eavesdrop, as well as get pictures of Jameson, as Ned sends him a text telling him that Jameson may need pictures. Martin Li sees the flash, as Li is praising all the shipments that the Demons have made. Li yells, "What the hell was that?" Peter flees and suits up. Peter sends Ned a text of the pictures and tells Ned to give them to Jameson. Spider-Man must not make any move, as Martin Li drops a pint of the superhuman antidote on the ground, empowering him and turning him stronger. Li even breaks the neck of one of his gangsters. Spider-Man then tells Daredevil, who is on the chip comms, that he now knows that Li is the leader of the Demons. Spider-Man tells Daredevil that he just assumed that Li was one of the gangsters. As Spider-Man follows the speeding van to Downtown Manhattan, Spider-Man speaks to Detective Wantanbe, who tells Spider-Man DeWolffe gave her a comms frequency to contact Spider-Man. Spider-Man, while swinging, discusses that Martin Li is the leader of the Demons. Wantanbe mentions that she used to be in a relationship with Li. Spider-Man is shocked and must go to a construction site, building a new Fisk Tower. Spider-Man is confused and speaks to Fisk on the chip and Fisk reveals he is getting bailed out of prison in two days. Spider-Man is forced to help Fisk and makes a fat joke and Fisk reveals Li was a business venture of his before Spider-Man imprisoned Fisk two years ago. Spider-Man must go to the 55th, 56th, and 57th floors of the construction site and defeat the Demons in broad daylight. Daredevil comes in and sees Li and four other Demons exiting the site with a helicopter. Daredevil and Spider-Man see that more Demons and Demon brutes are coming and Spider-Man must quickly defeat them under a time limit. After the time limit, more come and Daredevil tells Spider-Man that he will handle it and tells Spider-Man to go after Li, who calls himself Mister Negative. The helicopter is taking down parts of buildings and cranes surrounding the construction site and Spider-Man must find a way to grab unto all of them, by using his spider sense and webbing abilities/upgrades. Spider-Man then follows Mister Negative throughout the city, while having to dodge the damage of buildings and billboards. Yuri calls him and tells him that Mister Negative is empowered more by the superhuman antidotes he shipped in and tells him that he needs to be exposed to the public. The helicopter drops accidentally drops a shipment of antidotes onto a work building and Spider-Man must evade it and web it up. Spider-Man must then go on the helicopter and fight the four Demons, then Mister Negative. Spider-Man brings the helicopter down and must web it up before it hits the surface. Spider-Man must go to a building and take a picture of the helicopter wreckage in the web. Spider-Man must then check if Li is alive and Li then exclaims, "Spider-Man! There's greater things beyond you that you just do not understand!" Li somehow disappears and Spider-Man assumes this is one of the symptoms of the superhuman antidote. Li is at a building and tells Spider-Man not to even try to go after him. Li yells out, "Marko!" Spider-Man looks over and Cain Marko, also known as the mutant, Juggernaut, long time enemy of the X-Men, jumps down and Spider-Man must fight Juggernaut. The trick to defeat Juggernaut is to evade his headbutts and try to cause him to run into buildings and take that chance to pummel him. After the boss battle, Spider-Man ties up Juggernaut and tells him that he is an "idiot" for taking orders from Mister Negative. Yuri and DeWolffe arrive at the scene and tell the PD to call Damage Control to take care of the helicopter wreckage and both thank Spider-Man for taking down the Juggernaut, as he belongs in the Vault prison. Spider-Man tells the both that Li got away and Juggernaut was one of his shipments. Li interrupts the comms of Spider-Man and his chip makes an echoing sound, in which he warns Spider-Man, Fisk, and Daredevil to stay out of his business or he will destroy Hell's Kitchen with a surprise...

Spider-Man must go to Eddie Brock's apartment and check on him. Peter thinks to himself where Eddie must have gone, since they have not been in contact since the Finisher case several months ago. While Spider-Man is looking unto Eddie's apartment, he gets a comms call from DeWolffe, who is choking on something. DeWolffe eerily tells Spider-Man to go to the Manhattan Police Department and Spider-Man needs to go there under a time limit before it is too late. The player can switch cameras to see what is going on in the department and it is revealed some Demon gangsters dropped a knockout gas unto the police department and gets away. When the player gets there, DeWolffe debriefs Spider-Man on what happened and Spider-Man must chase them down. The thugs are going away in a stolen car. Spider-Man must break down their car and after this, more cars come in with more Demons. Spider-Man must defeat all 16 gangsters, but in the background, is a sniper, who shoots Spider-Man with a tracker. Spider-Man does not notice and must tail a brute, who gets away with files that may prove useful. Spider-Man must tail the brute and eventually, this leads to a warehouse, where over a dozen superhuman antidote shipments have been stored. Spider-Man must stay in the warehouse and take down the Demons. After this, he needs to go destroy the antidotes, either by webbing them up and throwing them into the nearby ocean or just contentiously webbing it up. After this, Spider-Man needs to find the files that the brute was carrying and gets attacked by the brute. The brute reveals himself as Cheng Cho, one of Martin Li's most trusted bodyguards. Spider-Man must defeat Cheng Cho by using the environment to defeat Cho. After this, Spider-Man picks up the files, which reveal the fact that Wilson Fisk is getting bailed out of prison the following day, as well as a file called, "Fisk v. Li". Spider-Man tells himself, "I have a bad feeling about this". Spider-Man realizes that Fisk may have set both him and Daredevil up.
