Spiderman fighting scenes: Despite not having the London Bridge I have made it so it's based in London by using google maps imaging

In terms of gameplay I wouldn't have the time for creating the fight itself like the abilities but I still want to show my abilities to code like giving spiderman movement for example.

Original reason of choosing Far from home:

(Bean, 2019)

Because it was one of the most profitable spiderman movies and that means its really popular either with its merch from or the film itself

With this statistic explains why people would play spiderman even though females can enjoy a spiderman game its statistically proven that males enjoy action games more like the spiderman idea I have.

With the research a lot of people are 32< and a lot of them said things about the original spiderman

How have I used the research on nostalgia:

I have considered peoples opinions and if I were to do this again with unlimited resources I would make a story mode like game for spiderman from the start like the fight with the bully to today like the spider verse with different spidermen.

changing the side perspective of the original game to a third-person viewpoint from behind the boxer. Both games feature unique controls that simulate throwing actual punches.[3] The 1987 remake was Japan's fifth highest-grossing arcade video game of 1988 and received positive reviews from critics.

(Wikipedia Contributors, "Spider-Man (2018 Video Game)")

Gameplay is presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on Spider-Man's traversal and combat abilities. Spider-Man can freely move around New York City, interacting with characters, undertaking missions, and unlocking new gadgets and suits by progressing through the main story or completing tasks

Marvel's Spider-Man was released for the PlayStation 4 on September 7, 2018, being praised for its graphics, narrative, characterization, combat, musical score, and web-swinging traversal mechanics. It received a number of accolades including being named as one of the best superhero games ever made. It became one of the fastest-selling games of the year and the best-selling PlayStation 4 game of all time.

My conclusion with the research with the original game and the newer games and the Spiderman is that I feel like I have the right style even though its not anime like it can still be cartoony and also the fact that the Spiderman game wasn't an anime like art style and more cartoony in terms of it being more realistic.

this link just proves that the game should be made in a cartoony way but not fully anime style and has the same design concept as my game, however there is an alternative game that shows that a anime style can be successful would be marvel rivals.

This video from Variant is a great source as it talks about the history of Mysterio and their encounters and his special affects however the difference being is that in the film Spiderman fights him on London Bridge rather Than Brooklyn Bridge.

"Mysterio." Wikipedia, 28 Dec. 2023, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysterio.

("Mysterio")

Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the character first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #13 (June 1964). He is one of the superhero Spider-Man's most enduring enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up his rogues gallery. He is also a founding member of the supervillain team the Sinister Six, and has fought other heroes, including Daredevil. In Wolverine: Old Man Logan, an alternate Mysterio serves as the archenemy of Old Man Logan, an elderly Wolverine tricked by Mysterio into killing the rest of the X-Men, with another alternate Mysterio serving as the villain of Spider-Man: Fake Red, becoming Venom.

(Harvey)

Rather than give Spider-Man another physically-powered bruiser, Lee (with artist Steve Ditko) wanted a foe who could strike at the hero's mind—and even jam his spider-sense—using nothing more than holograms, hypnotic gas and mechanical trickery Black Gate. Drawing on the mystique of stage magicians and the then-cutting-edge world of film special effects, Mysterio was conceived as a "Mission: Impossible"–style antagonist whose greatest superpower was pure illusion.

Harvey notes that Lee deliberately avoided the usual "scientist-turns-into-monster" cliché and instead pitched Beck as a "special effects wizard gone rogue," giving Ditko free rein to produce surreal, cinematic panels that literally bend reality

By the time ASM #13 hit shelves in June 1964, Lee and Ditko had already rolled out a parade of memorable foes. The cover's boast—"We've created the greatest villain of all for ol' Spidey!"—echoed Beck's own flair for hype, mirroring Marvel's strategy to sell the character as much as spider-sense-jamming sonar or acid-spraying gadgets

Rather than brute strength, Mysterio relies on optical illusions, robotics, hypnotism, set pieces and even specialized sonar to scramble Spider-Man's spider-sense—an approach Harvey compares to a "Mission: Impossible" caper, making him one of the few foes who truly challenges spidey's mind as well as his reflexe.

How would I use the research I have found:

It shows that in general that the Spiderman franchise is popular

If I had more time I would make a bridge for the boss fight like with the Brooklyn Bridge or the London Bridge.

The textures I would use would be a cartoony than a anime type of style.

I would pick the normal colour patterns however when originally downloading Spiderman into unity he turned white however I'm able to control the Mysterio colours because I made him and this is research behind him.

I have included research on Spiderman things like the origins on his outfit.

With the research on the games like street fighter and that genre the idea came from in terms of the fight so the players can pick both characters so there's more flavour to the game rather than just playing Spiderman but, I could make the Spiderman's from the multiverse

Lee liked his heroes in bold primary hues (reds, blues, yellows) and his villains in the complementary "secondary" set (greens, purples, oranges)—a rule applied across the lineup to make each character read clearly on the cheap newsprint of the day. As one contemporary fan notes, Marvel deliberately "adorned [their] villains in greens and purples (Dr. Doom, Loki, Mysterio, etc.) while heroes stayed in blues, reds and yellows"

(Caputo)

Purple has long been associated with magic, mystique and the otherworldly—and green can feel both "sickly" and "unnatural," fitting for a special-effects artist who tricks your eyes. By dressing Quentin Beck in a violet cloak, emerald gauntlets and boots, Lee signaled "trickster" at a glance, reinforcing the idea that Mysterio's greatest power was pure illusion

While noodling over ideas one afternoon in 1962, Lee spotted a fly crawling up his wall and thought, "What if a person could stick to walls like an insect?" He toyed with names like Mosquito Man and Insect Man until landing on Spider-Man—"it sounded mysterious and dramatic, and lo, a legend was born"

"And a lean, silent figure slowly fades into the gathering darkness, aware at last that in this world, with great power there must also come—great responsibility!"
Though Uncle Ben would later be credited with the line, it first appeared as narrative text in Amazing Fantasy #15—underscoring Lee's goal of a hero defined not just by spider-powers, but by the cost those powers impose

The evaluation above shows that people would play the game that i made and have said that it takes a lot of effort to  do something like this with my unity game.
