PlayStation games on PC might rub some fans the wrong way, but there's one very important thing we all need to remember: mods. A community will form around most major PC games these days in order to tinker with them in all sorts of ways, modifying the experience in some way. One modder, Jedijosh920, has dedicated his time and energy to Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, transforming the game with a fundamental change in perspective. The result is pretty nuts.
In the above video, the modder demonstrates a first-person mode for the open world superhero title and, fair warning, those prone to motion sickness might want to stay away. Swinging around Manhattan, running up buildings, and flipping like there's no tomorrow feels great in third-person, and looks thrilling behind the mask too — if you have an iron stomach.
The camera follows Spidey through all his twists and turns, moving as his head does in the game. This means you get full rotations and jerky camera movements as the hero web-slings through the city. It's an impressive mod, and we know a lot of people will be into this, but in terms of comfort, this probably needs a little more work.
What do you think of first-person Spidey? Are you interested in this? Is it simply too disorientating? Don't lose your head in the comments section below.

And this is is why Spider-Man will never work in VR!😄
For real though this is super impressive but I definitely couldn't handle playing this way.
That's insane. I can just about follow what's going on - I'd forgo the flipping if I were playing it. I bet combat is completely incoherent in first-person though, though I'd like to see that demoed.
Yeah... No thanks
Didn't show the combat though.
Almost 40 years of gaming and that was only the third time I nearly threw up. Hard nope!
First off all, props to Spiderman for being able to hold his lunch down, cos the first 10 seconds of swinging made my head hurt.
Secondly, impressive from a technical standpoint but needs a lot of work before being in any truly playable state.
Thirdly, an interesting concept from a technical standpoint, yet its existence just makes me worried about an overarching desire by so many people to have everything in first-person. Honestly, nothing makes a game more restrictive and less appealing to me than to have a game in 1st person (with the exception of fast-paced shooters like Doom and arguably even CoD). It seems that ever since CoD4 lit the sales charts on fire like a well placed HIMARS barrage on an ammo dump (or a misplaced cigarette butt), it felt like there was a shift to 1st-personify everything, even if just as an experiment.
Or maybe I just don’t like the fact that this mode would make the customisable outfits redundant despite it being one of my fave parts of the game.
@Korgon
I’ve played games that try to be Spider Man in vr and it can definitely work. If you’re interested check out the fantastic Resist. Tons of fun.
Uh yeah, that’s impressive I guess, but honestly just looks like you gave a toddler a video camera and said, “Okay, run around and shake this camera as much as you can while we record the footage”.
None of us will ever know what it’s actually like to be Spider-Man in real life, but I don’t think this is it.
@Korgon There was already a Far From Home VR demo which came out a few years ago. It was pretty fun. https://youtu.be/E9K1108_18g
I give this a 🤮🤮🤮 out of 🤮🤮🤮
Listen, a character that defies the laws of physics, does flips more than they walk and swings through the air at crazy speeds will always be vomit inducing to watch when looking through their eyes 😂😂
I love it when PC players make crazy cool mods.
One of my favorite things about this website are the articles headlines and what follows.
How do you get motionsickness in VR if you can control the swing?
I'ts like riding a bike, you always look forward😗.
If you ride a bike bakwards and look up you feel sick in 5 sec.
If you lay on your back on a bike with a bed looking up.....you feel sick in 5 sec.
Mods are great but they're obviously only for the pc version 🤷♂️
This is not realistic, this would be the equivalent of strapping a GoPro to a static part of your body. The result would be the same if you did this with a jogger, every bump and jarring movement would be recorded. Our muscles and body compensate for these movements so that we don't get sick or become disoriented when we move.
Clean this up and it would be a fantastic vr game.
I don’t have an iron stomach or an Iron Spider or even an Iron Man, but I do have a Hulk 😅
@Korgon The Silkworm and Superfly are actually aome good examples of VR working well for Spider-Man. Heard similsr praide with Swarm, but that's pretty different from Spider-Man overall and I haven't played in on my Quest 2 yet.
Wow that was a lil bit trippy, but major props to the guy!
