Spider’s Edge
The end of the new Spider-Man trailer reminded me of playing Mirror’s Edge. Stephen Totilo on Kotaku noticed the similarities as well and he created the above video comparing the two.
The results are striking. From sliding under pipes, to looking down towards the street as you jump across buildings to jumping into your own reflection. The similarities are unmistakeable.
Spider-Man isn’t the first movie to be influenced by videogame and it won’t be the last. You can’t forget Shawn of the Dead’s brief encounter with first person shooting towards the end of the movie. But this is a relatively new phenomenon so let’s celebrate it. Also, Spider-Man and videogames go hand in hand.
I just wonder if we are going to see a dot in the middle of the screen so people won’t get nauseous watching the movie.
