It is cool to look back at the evolution of Spider-Man games. I was watching clips of some of the Activision ones, and it looks like it takes the best elements from all the games, not just the PS2 one. 

What other Spider-Man games have influenced this one?

I can say that I have been playing Spider-Man games for a long time, really going all the way back to the NES.  At first they were pretty disappointing (and that goes for superhero games in general).  Then the PS1 was pretty good.  That was exciting.  Then the PS2, open-world, game came out and that was the way Spider-Man was meant to be played IMO.  But then the PS3 never really got a decent open world game for Spider-Man.  I remember playing one, Spider-Man 3 I think, but it wasn't really that great.  I was afraid they were never going to make a good open-world Spider-Man again.

I'm going to pick this game up soon, as soon as I finish Octopath.  If nothing else the city looks fantastic, but it looks like they improved combat a lot too and kept web-slinging fun like in the PS2 game. 

I can't really remember, I wasn't even a fan of Spider-Man before playing the PS4 game. I believe that the PS1 games started the costumes, although I could be wrong about that. And also I think some of the gadgets and abilities are from the Activision ones.
