Spider-Man PS4 Controls/Button Layout For Web-Swinging

GameInformer has revealed Spider-Man PS4 web-swinging button layout (i.e. Dualshock 4 Controllers controls to perform web-swinging): L3 will be used to dive and gain momentum, X to send out a zip web and so on.

New interesting details have slipped from Game Informer’s Spider-Man coverage, providing more intel about the way controls will work on PlayStation 4 and the proper control scheme we’ll be able to use once the game launches on September 7.

As reported on ResetEra, L3 will be used to L3 to dive and gain momentum, X to send out a zip web (used to move around buildings quickly), scan environment by pressing R3. On top of that, there’s also the proper control scheme for all the other buttons on the DualShock 4.

Let’s have a look at the full rush of information:

Spider-Man PS4 Control/Button Layout

• R2 – The button is contextual. It shoots out webs for swinging when you’re in mid-air, or you can hold down the button to run along walls or perform parkour while on the ground.
• X – Jump. You can also use it to exit a swing or press it at the top of a wall-run to leap over a building. Additionally, in mid-air, you can use it to web-zip to gain speed by shooting out a web in front of you. You can also hold the control stick in your desired direction, tap X to web-zip so Spider-Man can make sharp, or even U-turns.
• L2 and R2 – Pressing L2 and R2 at the same time will make Spider-Man zip to a perch point, which are represented as white circles on the U.I. while you’re swinging. You can leap from a perched position by hitting X, and if you do it quickly it does not interrupt your flow.
• L2 – Holding down L2 makes everything go into slow motion so Spider-Man can aim for specific perches. This ability will likely lead to other maneuvers, but this was what we mainly used it for.
• L3 – Holding down L3 makes Spider-Man go into a dive, which is perfect for gaining speed to enter a swing.
• O – Holding down O while running to the corner of a building will make Spider-Man grab onto the side of the building with a web and make a sharp turn.

It is also worth noting that Game Informer expressed very positive impressions about the title, comparing it to what Rocksteady did to the Batman video games with the Batman: Arkham series, so hopefully, it’s a brand and gorgeous new start for Spidey.

Do you feel the same excitement?
