Clearing the Way

Learn how to swing, dodge, and fight your way through Times Square and into Fisk Tower in Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered. Your first mission walkthrough!

Alright, so you've just booted up Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Peter Parker's apartment is looking a little… cozy. Don't worry, this is where it all begins! You'll get a nudge from the police scanner – trouble at Fisk Tower. Grab a quick bite, suit up, and notice that final notice bill sliding under the door? Yeah, adulting is tough, even for superheroes. But hey, out the window we go, heading straight for Kingpin's turf!

As you start swinging, the game's gonna give you the lowdown on movement. You'll see a prompt to R2 to web swing. Basically, hold it down to shoot a web and propel yourself forward. Let go, and you'll detach, ready to fire off another web. It's a rhythm: press, release, press. Want to gain some serious air? While holding R2, hit X to jump and pick up speed. Tapping X by itself is a quick web-zip – think of it as a mid-air dash using webs. This is super handy for keeping your altitude or making quick directional changes. If you land and need to get back into the swing of things, just hit X to jump and then R2 to start your next swing.

While you're getting the hang of the city, Captain Yuri Watanabe will chime in, pointing you towards Times Square. Keep an eye out for that yellow marker on your screen – that's your destination. The main goal here is just to get comfortable with the swinging mechanics. So, practice those basics – the jump and the web-zip – as you head towards the marker. As you get closer, work calls will start coming in, reminding Peter he's got a day job to get back to after this hero stuff. Once you arrive in Times Square, you'll find Fisk's goons have the police pinned down. Spidey makes quite the entrance, disarming the thugs during a cinematic, which is your cue to learn how to fight!

First up, you'll learn about the Web-Strike. Tap Triangle, and Spidey will leap towards an enemy. For your basic melee attacks, just tap Square. Now, pay attention to those white squiggly lines that appear around Spidey's head – that's your Spidey Sense! It's a heads-up that an attack is coming your way, giving you a chance to dodge. When you see it, press Circle to evade. Mix and match dodges, Web-Strikes, and regular attacks to take down these initial thugs.

Once you've dealt with the first wave, a truck full of more heavily armed enemies rolls up. As they spill out, the game will slow down to teach you some new moves. Press Circle and use the Left Analog stick to dodge sideways, letting their bullets whiz past. Next, you'll want to tap R1 repeatedly to web one of the enemies to the truck in the background. Then, the game will prompt you to hold Square. This launches an enemy into the air, where you can then unleash a flurry of punches to keep them subdued. If you tap Square near an enemy and then immediately tap X, you can use that enemy as a springboard to launch yourself into the air. Finally, when you get close to certain objects in the environment and see the L1 and R1 icons appear above them, you can use them as improvised weapons. Press both L1 and R1 simultaneously, and Spidey will grab and hurl the object, turning the environment into your ally.

After you've cleared out this second group of enemies, you'll spot an explosion in the distance. Time to swing over to the entrance of Fisk Tower. The police are in another standoff with more bad guys. You'll meet up with Yuri again, and she'll give you the green light to head inside the tower and help out. You're on your way!
