Magical mid-air webline attachment points, or not?

I saw a quick video of the gameplay for this one. While it looked pretty nice, it left me with a huge gameplay question.

When Spidey was swinging, it looked like the player could web-swing by magically having webs attach themselves in mid-air.

I didn't play SM3, but I fell in love, at the time, with the SM2 web-swinging and virtual city. You actually had to find attachment points for the web lines and objects like flagpoles could get in the way of a swing.

It would be disappointing to think this version, running on much more powerful hardware, would revert back to magical web attachment points in mid air.

Maybe someone who's played the game can verify this one way or the other?
