• No. Spider-Man is a wisecracking, fun-loving superhero even at the face of adversity. The trailer did not show me Spider-Man. It's some moody hipster douche pretending to be Spider-Man. In an NBA-approved wet-suit, no less.

• Am I the only one that thinks this won't be in the movie? or even if it is its put at the very end?

• Did you really fall for that? it's 100% CGI that most likely won't even show up in the film its self

• Way too funny, I saw the spiderman trailer earlier today and thought to myself that it really reminded me of Mirror's Edge, little did I know ...  Also - Mirror's Edge version is better in the sense that it gave me less of a headache :P

• The scene where he wears the mark 3 armor.  Its very similar to the Terran Marine trailer.

• This is strong work. Posts like this are why I can't get off the internet and focus on real life.

•  I think the question here is whether all those shots came from the same game trailer. If not, then yeah anyone could have replicated the Spider-man trailer from piecing together gameplay things. If so, then the question of order sequence is moot: the evidence would be strong that they storyboarded the trailer, shuffled the shot sequence around, and designed a single continuous tracking shot following the new flow (with an upside down portion where he's crawling under an AC vent for no particular reason except to show off he can crawl upside down). Still a huge amount of work, so I would call it an affectionate homage if so. Something to be geekily impressed with, not annoyed at.

• "The roll landing" is the #1 way to land. Watch some free-running material. Not a rip-off. "The upside down crawl"? Are you serious? Cave Johnson, we're done here.

• It has a different order, the Mirror's Edge footage has been cut together. The jump at the beginning is actually at the end.

• baaaahahahahaahaha that is hilarious and sad, hollywood is just one sad clown who keeps on crapping out crap.

• Seems all the like movies always show the same storyline. They all are super heros!

• Eh. Needs more Bruce Campbell tutorial narration.

• Woq. I thought it was similar because of the first person and basic free running movies. Yet, even with the edits, they totally clipped specific scenes from the game.

• I got the Bayformers ref at least..

• Hell, SOME directors don't even make MOVIES either. They just say, "Is the tits in? Is the explosion in? Is my love letter to the American military in? Good. Just slap some giant robots on there, put an 80 minute filler, and call it a day!"

• I love you, man. XD

• very.

• Yup, this just confirms my suspicions: Spider-Man's new power really IS to appeal to pretentious douchebags.

• Starcraft scene?

• Wow. Just wow. First they rips off every other teen flick by making Peter a dark, angsty, loner and now they rip of an actual trailer. *Clap...Clap...Clap...* Considering the official green lantern trailer was a rip off of a green lantern FANTRAILER, i think i know where this is going...

• the only thing they stole was the idea of jumping from building to building, which I am pretty sure has been done before. everything else is just editing to stir up trouble on this guys part.

• you watched it enough to list all the scenes but not enough to realize they reordered it and even made some modifications? :)

• I want to say I rad on Kotaku a while back someone was looking into making a sequel. I have no idea where the story is though. You might look for it if it gnaws at you. 

• It's like Ironman's Starcraft scene

• Thank you kindly, young fella.

• ...nevermind. Fucking Kotaku.

• Well, we learned why Michael bay did it... what's their excuse?

• Does the character go Emo in Mirrors Edge?

• motion sickness sufferers hell... Cloverfield 2

• The Adventures of Peter Parkour

•  Nossir, I think you may be on to something, there, old-timer.  DAMN KIDS GIT OFF MY LAWN!

• They did. Mirror's Edge was great.

• Really? Because Spidey looks like he's 100% CG in that, as well as a lot of the environment. I wonder what part a stunt woman would have played in it. Virtual street, tell us more!

• I agree I enjoyed it too. Some parts were incredibly frustrating, but aside from that I thought it was under rated as well. I wish they would have made a sequel where they could have ironed the kinks out.

• Since I'm basically the feeble-minded grandpa around here, it's stupid question time. Was the footage actually from game play? Or was it made special for the commercial? Could the "environment" of the game commercial have been used in the Spider-Man footage, only with new textures and whatever applied? And then they just ran the same sequence for use in the trailer? Save them some costly development time? I don't know nothin' about no video game development - you start talkin' about sprites and I think soda pop.

• Man, that's just fucking weak.

• Might be alone here, but I'd seriously love a first-person Spider-man game..

• Directors don't make trailers.

• so if the guy can't even make an original trailer what hope does the movie have?

• Ummm that'd be great if it was... a game.

• To be fair, that is some REALLY blatant CGI there.

• I pray that someday it will be.

• Also, the mirror's edge stuff is obviously not being played in order. So it's not the "same shots in the same order".

• The "upside down crawl" was manipulated by the video maker. It's pretty obvious actually that that part was edited, since the whole screen turns, black frames and all. EDIT: also there is no ceiling in that part, so she wouldn't be "upside down crawling" so much as walking on her hands or something.

• I think it speaks hilariously of the special effects that you actually think this is a Spider-Man video game. 

• How is it ripping off Mirrors edge because it's in first person and has platforming. This is how spider man gets around he runs and jumps climbing up walls and swinging, this game is also in first person which actually seems kind of awesome. This is just a similar play style except I'm betting the spiderman game is far more fun as you can also web swing which beats anything she can do.

• IF, perhaps, the Spiderman video had all of these parts but in a different order, it might not be so outrageous, but the fact that they are the exact shots, in that order, is undeniable.

• The beginning jump The roll landing on the roof The upside down crawl The climb up the wall (including the pipe) The sweeping angle shot to the street below The leap off the roof The reflecting on the building windows including the final lunge towards the glass.Three parts, eh? It's a rip-off, no getting around it.

• The first level was awesome, but the vague, boring storyline and repetitive gameplay ruined it for me. It was a great concept, but poor execution. 

• Three parts. Faith can't crawl on walls. If this wasn't in first person, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

• Three parts?!?  Dude, what crack are you smoking that you can't see that it's almost a shot for shot remake of the game's trailer?  You'd have to be working for Sony to be in such denial.

• It's unique because no one else had ripped it off yet. /hollywoodlogic

• Nooooope, they don't. It's just plain pilferage.

•  Really? Besides being on the short end Mirrors Edge is pretty great, albeit a bit under rated.

•  Wow.  I had heard all the comparisons but never watched either.  I've also heard how "awesome" the new trailer is and that it's uniquely shot. Yep, that's Hollywood being unique for ya.

• More then likely the footage (for lack of better word) was owned by the same company or rented.  I'm sure if their was intellectual copyrights fraud we would have already heard about it the first second the similarities were pointed out.  

• Word on the virtual streets is that a stunt woman got paralyzed during this scene. They kept the footage (which may have been a first take) as a sign of respect. But this is The Internet. Who knows? I don't even care; I'd pay to see a movie filmed in the style of Mirror's Edge.

• So it has like 3 parts that are similar and people are calling it a rip-off.

• Maybe Sony owns both properties, so it is okay.

• Somebody needs to get sued for this

• Christ Parker, at least rip off a GOOD video game.
