Yay violence!

[spida-man]

Yay violence!

EDIT: Or, should I say, hypothetical violence.

violence is what makes the world go round

[VenomSpawn]

It's true!

[Anno_Domini]

I don't watch football.

That sucks.

Kolb did suck. Well, he was injured for several games and the O-line was actually the culprit behind Kolb sucking. Even if they got rid of him, he has a very expensive guaranteed money contract that would severely cut off the amount they could potentially give to Manning. Eh, who knows...someone else on the team may take a pay cut or something.

Skelton was Card's version of Tim Tebow, imo.

[SpideyFan866]

I really think we should stop talking about Football and go back to talking about Spider-man games.

We don't want a repeat of infamous thread shut down of december 2011

[UltimateWebhead]

Skelton was Card's version of Tim Tebow, imo.

That's not true. He never prayed once. :oldrazz:

[UltimateWebhead]

"Hey guys, let's talk about this picture of Dee Brown! Won't that be fun!"

LOL. I am excited to see the behind the scenes videos though. I always enjoy watching that kind of stuff whether it be for video games, movies, tv shows, etc. It's neat to hear how they developed something and came up with creative ways to solve problems to their issues.

this is a picture!!!!

Lol.

[UltimateWebhead]

The graphics look just fine but the city looks so damn bland in this pic. It looks too 'white' and clean and doesn't look very 'busy' at all.

[Troy_Parker]

The city in that pic remind me of the city in Mirror's Edge.

[UltimateWebhead]

Yeah that too. I don't like it. NYC is not a white shining castle and it needs that energetic, busy feel to it as well. I am not getting that from this pic.

[Spider-ManHero12]

The city in that pic remind me of the city in Mirror's Edge. I second that.

[Spider-Vader]

Yeah, I hope the city feels a bit more busy as well. That was one of my biggest problems with WOS, the city felt dead.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yeah, I hope that's fixed up as well.

[Spectacular23]

The city in that pic remind me of the city in Mirror's Edge.

Strongly agreed especially the white backdrop of the city. Maybe that's why they incorporated some parkour/free flow movements in here? To focus more on the Spider-man himself than the city? I don't think this is such a bad idea at all actually. Something that I think Sm3 kinda failed at. You can tell they really focused on making New York city really Massive and they really, REAALLLY downsize Spider-man and made him look smaller. Especially when web-swinging through the city. I can't wait to see how this new Web rush feature works and see how fluid Spidey movements will be.

[Nathan]

Way, waaayyy too clean. They need to dirty the hell out of that city.

[Spidey_62]

I agree, looks nice but a tad too clean. Not sure if it's the right word to use, but a little work could be done.

[Jick09]

I think the city is looking great, but I need to see people there. It's empty.

[Nathan]

You know, maybe the city being so bright and clean looking isn't so wrong. This is what google was spitting out.

[The Infernal]

Anyone else notice the billboards on the high res pic? One of them which has the word 'FLY' on it seems to have what looks like a costumed guy on it. Though it looks like he may have a cape also. Maybe it's an inside joke aimed at Superman?

[Anno_Domini]

You guys already forget about the ****load of robots set to destroy the city? That will definitely dirty up New York :up:

[Nathan]

Ugh... don't remind me of the robots. Unless they show more of the story, I'm not really all that excited about this game.

[Anno_Domini]

Lol, hey, I'm not fond of the robots either, but at least you'll know the city will get dirty from them.

[spida-man]

what is with all u guys and the graphics for the city and it looking dirty?

[Superhero 101]

The city needs some life GTA style :)

First official in-game screenshot
Draw distance is too short. That blurry city doesn't look good. It reminds me of The Incredible Hulk game.

[Eggyman]

It looks okay. The one thing that bothers me is how bleached everything looks. I've been New York. It's not a clean place lol.

[lixdexia]

the thing that's always bugged me about new york in spider-man games is the lack of traffic. it's way too sparse, both in vehicles and pedestrians.

[spida-man]

:doh:
u guys clearly never payed that much attention to traffic in SM2, USM and SM3

[Eggyman]

The only thing I pay attention to now, spida-man, is your opinion. It's so much easier than forming my own. :jabba

[lixdexia]

:doh:
u guys clearly never payed that much attention to traffic in SM2, USM and SM3
actually those are the specific games i'm referencing :dry:

[Deathlok]

Is this going to be consoles only?

Never mind. I just did some checking and it looks as if the PC is being left out (again)
Sighs...

[UltimateWebhead]

Yay robots! Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, lol.

what is with all u guys and the graphics for the city and it looking dirty?

I used to live there. NYC is a vibrant, dirty, energetic, place with crowds of people, crazy traffic, and an invisible buzz in the air that you can just feel. Have you ever been? If you ever do get the chance to go you'll know exactly what I am talking about the second you step outta your taxi that took you from the airport and take you first deep breath of air. It's electric.

This 'feel' is something that they have never gotten right in any Spidey game thus far and it's something that I would like to see Beenox nail. Story, gameplay, VA, and replayability are far more important though and I would rather them get that correct first.

[Anno_Domini]

[Spider-Aziz]

Hey everyone, after almost 3 days of absence you witness my return to these boards, comforted and relaxed, pretty pleased

Speaking of the game:
I don't mind the buildings looking clean
City reminded me of Mirror's Edge since the first teaser
Arm in the new picture looks a bit bulky compared to trailers
actually those are the specific games i'm referencing :dry:They have very little variety in automobiles, but why should it matter? Spider-Man is about swinging, not cars and people, all I care about is pissing people walking the street stepping on them or pushing them, and all that matters to me about cars is how they are there for me to stand on, and stop ones rushing, or kick them as the case of Web of Shadows
Is this going to be consoles only?

Never mind. I just did some checking and it looks as if the PC is being left out (again)
Sighs...I'm pretty sad too, but bio attack and all these robots (Sorry Nate, great avvy btw) reminds me too much of Web of Shadows, so right now what concerns me most is the variety of things to do in the game
And it would be actually nice to finally own a Spider-Man game on PS3, all the ones from current gen I have are on PC

[craigdbfan]

When did NYC become unpopulated?

[Spider-Aziz]

When did NYC become unpopulated?
When devevlopers made it that way?

[Ultimatehero]

Graphics rival every other Spidey game. Plus that's in-game, NOT a cinematic? That rocks! Morning and early day, during summer, NYC does look a lot like that. A friend who visited me once even stated he was surprised by how clean NYC looked compared to what he thought it would be like. Then mid day and night you get that gray tone from the other spidey games.

[Spider-Aziz]

Graphics rival every other Spidey game. Plus that's in-game, NOT a cinematic? That rocks!
Yeah yeah, but I fear it's all flash, nothing memorable

[gkokujin]

This is the same company that delivered two great spidey games. I figure they'd get the gameplay down before the graphics. Still impresssed by the details in the costume. Never remembering seeing all that detail before. The texture is just beyond words compared to what came before it in-game. Also as to robots, as said before, one of the prior Spidey games had this "robotic villain section" as well. Doubt that's all there is. It's impossible to write a story solely focusing on that and, if I remember, a comic writer wrote the story as well. Unless the story is fully dedicated to Smythe...

[craigdbfan]

I can't believe SM2 (a game released 8 years ago) had a bigger NPC population than this game.

Can't say this game is exactly impressing anyone.

[Spider-Aziz]

This is the same company that delivered two great spidey games.You mean developers? They work under Activision if I remember, a comic writer wrote the story as well. Unless the story is fully dedicated to Smythe...Who's the comic writer? Announced?

I can't believe SM2 (a game released 8 years ago) had a bigger NPC population than this game.NPC?

[craigdbfan]

Non-player character

[Mike]

I can't believe SM2 (a game released 8 years ago) had a bigger NPC population than this game.

Can't say this game is exactly impressing anyone. I'm not impressed either. It's more of the same ****.the advertising for this game is a joke. I've seen spidey in a big city already. I'm starting to have doubt about this game.

[Spider-Aziz]

I'm not impressed either. It's more of the same ****.the advertising for this game is a joke. I've seen spidey in a big city already. I'm starting to have doubt about this game.
But never in Faith's town :p

Yeah pretty much. :up:

[Spider-Aziz]

I lost confidence in this game since the trailer showing all these bots, all I care about now is playing it cause I will play a new Spider-Man game and have fun playing it no matter how sub-par or terrible it may turn out to be

[Mike]

Don't head toward SM3, it's all I defend it to be. If it was about personal opinion instead of people not making sense in the grand majority of complaints they give, I'd try forcing people to enjoy Prototype dude, developers love guys like you. I wish rocksteady or rockstar would develop a spidey game.

[Spider-Aziz]

dude, developers love guys like you. I wish rocksteady or rockstar would develop a spidey game.
They dislike me, I don't pay for their games at all =p
And I just remembered why I'll never pay Beenox. Here goes the idea of me owning the game on PS3

[craigdbfan]

dude, developers love guys like you. I wish rocksteady or rockstar would develop a spidey game.

Hell I think Volition, Inc. (Saints Row series) could even give us a better Spider-Man game than what we've gotten in recent years.

[Mike]

Maybe I need to get the series, not just the third
I don't have any of those games

[Doctor Who]

the thing that's always bugged me about new york in spider-man games is the lack of traffic. it's way too sparse, both in vehicles and pedestrians.

I wouldn't mind being able to run across on top of cars and hear all the real foul mouths of New York. :awesome:

New York could look more gritty and dirty though; this isn't Scottsdale or LA, it should be crowded with a diversity of people, taxis honking everywhere and cars jamming the street, etc. With the new Spiderman coming out already, I would have thought they would improve on that a little bit. I appreciate it being free roam again though; never can go wrong with that. I feel in love with Spiderman 2 the game for that reason.

[Troy_Parker]

I can't believe SM2 (a game released 8 years ago) had a bigger NPC population than this game.

Can't say this game is exactly impressing anyone.

How do we know it has a bigger NPC population than this game?

And how exactly is that a good thing? I heard lines and characters repeated every 2 blocks. :funny:

[Mike]

Hell I think Volition, Inc. (Saints Row series) could even give us a better Spider-Man game than what we've gotten in recent years. oh yea without a doubt. You would think after Arkham Asylum, beenox would step their game up. But we get the same ol run of the mill cash ins. I think its bs they've been working on the game for a year or so,it really doesn't look like it lol. I remember AC had badass gameplay footage way before the release date. What do we get? More of spidey swinging, and f***ING robots.

[craigdbfan]

How do we know it has a bigger NPC population than this game?

And how exactly is that a good thing? I heard lines and characters repeated every 2 blocks. :funny:Based on what we've seen SM2 had a bigger population. It's better as it makes the city feel more real and alive. Especially when you make sandbox games that's sort of an important feature otherwise there's no point of making it a sandbox game is there?

oh yea without a doubt. You would think after Arkham Asylum, beenox would step their game up. But we get the same ol run of the mill cash ins.

Yeah the stagnation is pretty pathetic.

And how exactly is that a good thing? I heard lines and characters repeated every 2 blocks. :funny:Who cares? How many times a day people repeat the expression 'OH' in one town?

[Mike]

Spider-man (2000) and sm2 were great, but can easily be topped. Why it ha sn't been topped yet , is beyond me.

[Troy_Parker]

There's still a long time to go. I'm sure the city will look every bit as alive as SM2's was. :)


Who cares? How many times a day people repeat the expression 'OH' in one town?

I care.

It wouldn't be a problem if "OH" wasn't the only thing being repeated.

"SPIDEY, U DA MAN!"

"GET A JOB!"

Etc being repeated along with repeated NPC's got a bit hmm, boring.

But I'm sure we won't run into that problem as often as we did in SM2.

[Eggyman]

My balloon!

[Troy_Parker]

Spider-man (2000) and sm2 were great, but can easily be topped. Why it ha sn't been topped yet , is beyond me.

Agreed.

Why is this line so inFAMOUS and so highly remembered bringing a cringe to the faces of many?

[Troy_Parker]

Am I missing something?

[Troy_Parker]

My balloon!

Oh God, the memories... they're coming back...

http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt35/mrcrawford84/fuuuuu.png

**** YOUR BALLOON, KID. I'M POPPING IT.

[Spider-Aziz]

Of course you missed a lot TP, the above picture doesn't show all the pedestrians you find in the game before you play it...

Oh wait, nvm :p

[Troy_Parker]

Why is this line so inFAMOUS and so highly remembered bringing a cringe to the faces of many?

Because it was annoying as ****.

[Spider-Aziz]

I love the balloon missions, I hope they return in one of the future games, but with less concentration

Needing an informant to tell you to look up is more annoying than ****

[Troy_Parker]

Of course you missed a lot TP, the above picture doesn't show all the pedestrians you find in the game before you play it...

Oh wait, nvm :p

Seeing as how we're all judging the game even though it's not complete, thought I'd do the same...

I love how the city looks in comparison to how it looked in SM2.

I may not be super excited for this game, but I've got a lot of hope.

And lol, how do we know the above picture of the TASM game doesn't show all the pedestrians we'll find in the game when we play it?

:funny:

[Troy_Parker]

No. No. No.

No.

Sorry, but no.

Just...

No.

I'll take an entire storyline based around delivering pizzas...

But no thanks to "MY BALLOOON!" popping up now and then. xD

[Spider-Aziz]

Seeing as how we're all judging the game even though it's not complete, thought I'd do the same...Makes sense

I love how the city looks in comparison to how it looked in SM2.I do too, but I love how the city colors look more appealing in SM2

And lol, how do we know the above picture of the TASM game doesn't show all the pedestrians we'll find in the game when we play it?

:funny:I keep saying don't rush about pedestrians

No. No. No.

No.

[craigdbfan]

Am I missing something?

Yeah an actual in game screenshot.

http://i.imgur.com/sdiFf.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/wCvOA.jpg

Based on what we've seen of this current Spider-Man game there are less civilians (NPC) than in SM2.

To be fair these were taken a month before the actual game was released so it's probably the final build whereas TASM the game still has a couple months left.

Until then though it's been pretty disappointing. Hopefully with more info/vids/& pics we get it'll look better but as of now it's nothing special and hardly impressive. Keep in mind this game was released 8 years ago.

[Spider-Aziz]

But TASM is yet to show streets closely, aside from the pedestrians running away from robots

[craigdbfan]

That's why I said:

"To be fair these were taken a month before the actual game was released so it's probably the final build whereas TASM the game still has a couple months left."

thats kinda silly seeing how they told us MULTIPLE TIMES there will be super villains and normal street thugs to fightI heard, but whatever

[craigdbfan]

That's a cut scene not in game gameplay as far we know.

[Troy_Parker]

I'm not worried about the robots anymore. I was. I'm still pissed at the fact that they used the generic ROBOT ATTAAAACK thing for the reveal trailer though. I would have been happier with a slightly tweaked/different/extended version of the NYCC trailer.

Can't wait to see what villains they have in store for us.

[Spider-Aziz]

Don't feel the visual difference yet

[Troy_Parker]

That's a cut scene not in game gameplay as far we know.

I'm pretty sure the cutscenes are indicative of the in-game gameplay.

They're not going to have cutscenes with a lot of civilians in mass panic, then cut to the actual mission where there's like 3 people running around in circles. lol

[craigdbfan]

That's yet to be determined. Plus for all we know they could be pre rendered using the in-game engine.

We just don't know enough yet.

I can wait to see who, hoping the "new villains created for this game" means something like Batman Beyond and alter some villains to a degree as done with these two:
Shocker -> Shriek
Mysterio/Mastermind (yeah, they took villains of other characters) -> Spellbinder

[Troy_Parker]

I'm actually not too worried about the city/NPC's, etc... tbh. Looks fine so far and I'm positive that it'll look even better in the next trailer/screens.

Urm...

Yeah.

But I still think a cutscene full of people cutting to a level where it's almost dead is very unlikely. Relax. lol

[Spider-Aziz]

A crotch shot? Do we really need that?

[spida-man]

That's a cut scene not in game gameplay as far we know.

what ru referring to?
Beenox has confirmed all the visuals we have seen have been actual gameplay footage, including the latest screenshots

[Troy_Parker]

Would I have posted it if we didn't?


:awesome:

[craigdbfan]

Oh ok.

[Spidey_62]

The pic Troy posted was from an earlier build of SM2, like the first pic released in March of 2003 I want to say.

[spideyguy16]

Playing Spider Man 2 right now and o mai gawd I want tasmvg to be JUST like this. I can't help thinking how much better this game will be with better graphics.

I'm optimistic because Beenox has pointed towards Spider-Man 2 as a big source of inspiration to them, they know that it's the fan favorite and are trying to take the best things and blend it together.

One problem, Spider-Man 2 has no...this and that we don't know whether they will or won't be in this game

[Ultimatehero]

People are actually complaining about lack of seeing people from up high? Those who are complaining - have you EVER been to New York City? Like - EVER? Cars, yeah, are easy to spot. People become tiny little ANTS. And we haven't seen street level. This is an AERIAL view. I've been in NYC a lot now, hell - I've CLIMBED and went to ROOFTOPS of NYC a lot and this representation? Is accurate. Cars - easy to spot. People blend in or become ants.

[Jick09]

There's no people there, that's the thing.

[Ultimatehero]

There's no people there, that's the thing.

From a shot HIGH UP off the ground. OBVIOUSLY. The helicopter is EYE LEVEL with Spidey. You JUMP DOWN from there - you'll see people.

You don't see people from that high up in real life either. Unless you want tiny dots running around and blending together?

Jesus people, look at where the helicopter is for a better sense of scope and how high up this is.

Personally, I'd rather have the people faded at that distance to focus on what's closest to you than running dots.

[Troy_Parker]

There's definitely people there...

http://i.imgur.com/AZAwE.jpg

It's not as empty as people are making it out to be... hell, for an early build of the game, what we have so far is GREAT.

http://i.imgur.com/AZAwE.jpgInteresting. I didn't notice these before.
These puts some of my complaints at bay. At least we know that there will be people in the streets, we just don't know if there will be enough.

[UltimateWebhead]

The. Streets. Are. Empty. Period.

SM2 was a great game when it was released because it was a simple yet innovative idea...hey why not put Spidey in a GTA open world environment? It works.

The problem is, that the game is so outdated. It has great memories attached to it but that's about it.

There has not yet been a Spidey game that has truly captured the feel of NYC. I understand that gameplay and framerates and all that stuff come first and sometimes you can't put too much stuff into the screen or it will cause things to go wrong. There is still room for improvement and we'll just have to wait and see how things look as time moves forward cause there's still several months time before the game releases.

I'm excited to see what villains they have in store for us and the what the all new combat system actually entails.

Agreed.

So far, what I'm loving about this game:

- Spider-Man moves very fluidly. He looks the most acrobatic he's ever looked in a game.

- The new game mechanics...

- The graphics look amazing. They've nailed every detail on the suit.

- Free roam! ;D

- The city LOOKS good. I know it looks a little too "clean" or whatever and it's reminiscent of the city in Mirror's Edge (which I love) but I like it. It gives the city a vivid look. But I'm sure the city won't look like that for long...

And this:

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2003/e3/0513/all_spiderman2_screen001.jpg

Is from an early build of Spider-Man 2. It is an in-game shot, but not of the final build. We all know that the final city is quite "alive" and nowhere near as empty.

Now, the stuff we're criticizing for TASM game is also from an early build of the game, but there's one thing... even for an early build, it's nowhere near as empty as the early build of Spider-Man 2 was. So relax, guys! :D

I gotta agree with ya Troy. I like everything about this game from what I have seen so far and I hope they keep moving in the right direction. It's still early yet and I am hoping they can make NYC feel as it should.

[Troy_Parker]

I know Beenox will do Spidey justice here. I may get some flack for this but one of the things I really enjoyed about EoT were the minor details Beenox used in making Spidey move. Everything about the movement of his head to his feet and hands between zipping, swinging and combat really brought Spidey to life. It looks as though they have continued the detailed approach for this game and it looks great so far.

[spideyguy16]

Its always been a pet peeve of mine about how times square is represented in the games.

agreed. when it comes to animations of how spidey moves, so far Web of Shadows and Edge of Time have excelled in that area

[spideyguy16]

Web of Shadows is my favorite in that area too. He moves so spideylike and the city looks pretty good too.

[VenomSpawn]

That reminds me, I downloaded bought Web of Shadows, spent 3 days installing it, and it tells me my video card doesn't meet system requirements (after I had checked beforehand and everything seemed up-to-par).

I raged hard.

[Jick09]

You're not missing too much, though.

I wanted to play it so I could use this:

[TheBat812]

I don't think any game needs the actual population density of a given city, it just needs to feel alive and inhabited.

[Godzilla2014]

oh yea without a doubt. You would think after Arkham Asylum, beenox would step their game up. But we get the same ol run of the mill cash ins. I think its bs they've been working on the game for a year or so,it really doesn't look like it lol. I remember AC had badass gameplay footage way before the release date. What do we get? More of spidey swinging, and f***ING robots.

I completely agree.

Based on what we've seen SM2 had a bigger population. It's better as it makes the city feel more real and alive. Especially when you make sandbox games that's sort of an important feature otherwise there's no point of making it a sandbox game is there?



Yeah the stagnation is pretty pathetic.

I agree.

Am I missing something?

The city certainly looks every bit as "alive", if not more than it did in SM2...

Is that an early picture for Spider-Man 2? Because the back spider symbol looks more like its SM1 counterpart (which I preferred) than SM2.
In the actual film (and game), it looks like this:
http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/product_images/1020/217415.1020.A.jpg
The body is a bit smaller, with the legs occupying more space proportionally.

The DS and 3DS versions of TASM games are on sale at GameStop. $20 for the DS version and $30 for the 3Ds version. I am going to try to take advantage of this sale by trading in my old games at GameStop and pre-ordering the 3DS version. Maybe both if I have enough money.

My brother does have a PS3, but even I wanted to use it, I might not be able to play it as much as I wanted to, if he even let me use at all, though I think he probably would. Also, PS3 games are lot more expensive. I do have a Wii and I thought about getting the game on it, but the 3DS version is cheaper and it's the same thing as the console version.

The game doesn't release for 5 months or so. The robots part of the story is only a small piece to the larger puzzle. There will be many other villains that will be revealed in the coming months. Although we have two trailers for the game...it's still not a completed build of the game and 'no actual' gameplay has been released as of yet. Sure they have given us 'in game footage' but they have yet to release an actual piece of gameplay that is unedited showing the true mechanics of the game for either swinging or combat. Small broken clips stitched together is not a good representation of the 'real' gameplay IMO.

You pay more for better quality.

[Troy_Parker]

The 3DS version of TASM will definitely not even be remotely like the console version. You can bet on that.

[Troy_Parker]

I've noticed that the official TASM page has liked the Prototype game page... maybe they took some influence from that?

[Gwendolyn Stacy]

Well, I'm saving my money for other stuff right now and I don't how much trade in credit I'll get at GameStop. I'd only consider buying PS3 games if I get my own PS3 and win the lottery or something. Maybe.

You could get them on PC! They're usually cheaper and the far superior versions. Even to the console versions. :D

I beg to differ. Some games are better on PC. Like Skyrim. Not all of them though.

Pretty much every game on the PC is superior compared to the console version...

Well, at least graphically.

[UltimateWebhead]

Well for the most part PCs are more powerful but I've always been a console gamer and I don't see that changing.

[Troy_Parker]

Same. lol

[VenomSpawn]

It depends on what kind of PC you have.

If you have a s***ty PC like I do then you can't play anything. Yet I can play everything fine on my PS3.

Only if you like a flashy suit which is what Raimi wanted :o

[lixdexia]

Only if you like a flashy suit which is what Raimi wanted :o
nope. maybe he just likes it because of the texture, maybe he prefers the color scheme, maybe he thinks it's a better contrast. there are any number of reasons someone might like something you dislike for reasons other than those you assume.

[Godzilla2014]

Nope, the raised webbing added texture and depth to the suit, and the silver coloring provided great contrast.

Actually, the contrast helped to prevent the webbing from disappearing at a distance.

No, I'll stick with it giving some sight to it within those dull colors.

I'm saying the advertisement and promotion for this game sucks. What they're releasing isnt that great. They're showing us footage and pics we should've seen last year. I'm having a hard time believing that they've been working on this for over a year.

Rodolphe, our Lead Game Designer, answers a Fan Question from Chris Dawson: Will there be lots of side missions?

Hey Chris! Yes there will be! Our game brings back free-roaming in Manhattan, where you guys will be able to swing around and discover a variety of side missions, challenges and mini-games in addition to the main storyline.

The old suit definitely looks great, no doubt about that! Except for Iron Man, that one is the best comic book movie suit IMO.

But the raised webbing is kinda tricky, it looks great sometimes, but awful at other times as well. I prefer the black, thin webbing on Webb's suit. The colors as well, and the body type. But the overall design looks better on the old one.

Anyone noticed the pattern? First movie tie-in has robots built by Oscorp to fight? You suppose that will happen in the next reboot opening movie tie-in? More robots built by Oscorp to fight?

[eLPAtitoyUPI]

Hahaha, thanks :D

Spider-Aziz, I also noticed the Oscorp bots in both games, I find it funny :D At least now they aren't those annoying "bats" that Green Goblin launched at you at enormous amounts.

These look more like the mech suits of Kingpin from Web of Shadows, anyway.

Those are all stills from a movie, not actual screenshots. The first two shots you posted weren't even in the movie. The colours were tweaked in the stills to make them appear more saturated than they really were in the movie.

Compare this:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef012876c79d4e970c-800wi

The colours seemed to vary in SM 2, imo. They looked fine in some scenes, but quite muted in others. The one that comes to mind is the train battle.

[Anno_Domini]

The blue still looked off in Spider-Man 3 as well. The first film seemed to actually have the colors look consistent throughout.

If it still looks plain than it's either just the lights/shadows or just your (I don't know who claimed it) opinion.

OK
You think his scale in the game will be a bit large or nice enough on screen and in gameplay?

If it's the entirety of New York with free roam....it could be quite large. Maybe even five times as big as Arkham City.

I know this, but I didn't want to say that because I actually do want to be excited for the game :007

Hi, I'm new to the forums, but I have been reading you all a lot of time, maybe since the reboot was announced lol

So, I post here, because I wanted to post the video I made about the game. No robots (well, just the giant spider), just free-flow Spidey.

Nice video! Welcome to the boards!

[Anno_Domini]

Gosh damn I love that music from the site.

[UltimateWebhead]

OK
You think his scale in the game will be a bit large or nice enough on screen and in gameplay?

I am hoping that the model of Spidey will be larger than what we got in previous games. And not only larger but closer to the foreground on the screen. Sometimes in SM2 or even SM3 it felt as though you were losing him on the screen cause the city was so big. Does that make sense?

[UltimateWebhead]

If it's the entirety of New York with free roam....it could be quite large. Maybe even five times as big as Arkham City.

And probably 5 times less detailed as well.

I think Aziz was asking about the size of the Spidey model/character not the size of the city.

[UltimateWebhead]

I know this, but I didn't want to say that because I actually do want to be excited for the game :007

And yes, I am aware that my smileys don't match with what I am saying, but I want to try out the new ones anyways, haha.

I want to be excited for the game too. Actually I am, a little. Oh & nice JB smiley lol.

[Anno_Domini]

Oh, Spidey's size, haha. Read his comment wrong.

Ahhh....I think it'll be just fine. Why would he be too big or too small?

[UltimateWebhead]

I think it looks better if Spidey is bigger on the screen. Makes you feel like you're more a part of what's going on. I wouldn't want the model to be on the smaller size, like I said in a post above, cause I'd feel like I was getting lost on the screen with the immense size of the city. It looks friggin huge. Beenox said there's something like 2200 buildings. Wow.

[AME]

Exactly!
I wan't to swing with Spidey.
I want to be Spider-Man, not just watch him from afar.
The cam in Arkham Asylum is pretty good.

[Anno_Domini]

Finally!

I hope we get an answer on if we'll be getting a black crotch....haha

[Troy_Parker]

Lol!

It's obvious we will.

The enemies will be too busy laughing at how it looks like Spidey peed himself, Spidey will use this to his advantage and beat the crap out of the thugs.

This is a new combat mechanic.

[VenomSpawn]

I hope now people will stop complaining about robots because, OMG, they aren't the only villains in the game.

The Pee-N-Punch technique.

I believe Chael Sonnen did that last Saturday night on FOX.

That new screen is cool, looking forward to more next month.

Thanks for posting this RIM. I was about to do the same. I love how this pic looks. Spidey looks amazing and I can't wait to see what kind of acrobatic combat system they have in place. I hope it's something like the freeflow style of arkham city but with plenty of Spidey-esque jumps, kicks, dodges, and poses.

Also, notice that other guard in the background. It looks like he is holding his head or something. Maybe he just got kicked too or maybe he took some webbing to the face!

[UltimateWebhead]

I hope now people will stop complaining about robots because, OMG, they aren't the only villains in the game.

:up:

[Sticky-Fingers]

Spiderman needs a free flow combat mechanic...Like that scene in SM 1 when he stopped the armored car robbery.

[UltimateWebhead]

Yup. Combat like that would be awesome. It's hard to say from that pic but I kinda get the feeling we are in store for something along those lines.

[Godzilla2014]

Agreed!

[AnneFan]

I hope now people will stop complaining about robots because, OMG, they aren't the only villains in the game.

Indeed. That new still clearly shows Spidey kicking a human being. Unless he has an endoskelton underneath. :hehe:

And probably 5 times less detailed as well.With all the details displayed:huh:
How detailed is Arkham City?

Does that make sense?I don't mind the size we had in those games, but it would be alright if larger

http://www.oxmonline.com/files/u49901/spidermanexclusive.jpgWhy Spidey looks cartoony here?

[Spider-Aziz]

I hope now people will stop complaining about robots because, OMG, they aren't the only villains in the game.
I'm still bothered by them being there

[lixdexia]

that weird armor makes those guards look like robots :dry:

http://www.oxmonline.com/files/u49901/spidermanexclusive.jpg


From the looks of this we are definitely getting free flow

[Mike]

From the looks of this we are definitely getting free flow LOL how can you tell off of this one pic.

[Nathan]

I'd like to know that too. If he would really get free-flow combat, that'd be awesome.

[Troy_Parker]

Freeflow combat would suit Spider-Man so well!

[Spider-Aziz]

From the looks of this we are definitely getting free flowI wouldn't determine it that way, but I do say he delivers a kick more human and less Spidey like
Wonder how the combat would turn out to be
LOL how can you tell off of this one pic.Kick to the neck?

[Troy_Parker]

Less Spidey-like?

I don't think most people here could deliver a kick to the back of the head like that, even with a run up.

[Oscorp]

http://www.oxmonline.com/files/u49901/spidermanexclusive.jpg

Great pic! I really love how Spidey looks in this game! So detailed!

[Spider-Aziz]

Less Spidey-like?Looks more like a karate jump kick
I wouldn't look down on the game based on one kick only, don't worry about that

I don't think most people here could deliver a kick to the back of the head like that, even with a run up.Most people here is right

[Spider-Aziz]

I so desperately want this game to be looked up to as fondly as BAA is by people, and even more desperately want to love it more than BAC

[Troy_Parker]

We all want this to be the Spider-Man game, like the Arkham games at the moment are now the superhero games for a lot of people.

I've got a little more faith in this game because I know that it won't be crippled by being based on the movie's storyline.

[TheWallCrawler]

LOL how can you tell off of this one pic.

well in free flow (arkham asylum and arkham city) the hits feel more focused than the button masher combat in spidey games, and that's exactly what it looks like, a more focused hit. Also, that really reminds me of catwoman's free flow combat, which is what a lot of guys here in hype said that the new combat system should be taking inspiration of

[SpaceWay2009]

That kick to the back of the head looks stunning!

Hopefully, if Spidey has free-flow combat, they also took some inspiration from Nightwing.

[Sticky-Fingers]

I cant really remember a spidey game that worked his agility in to the combat.We havent seen any combat so we can pray for a free flow mechanic but i doubt we will get it :(

Also was just looking at the VGA teaser trailer and does anyone think that when he swings he looks stiff as a board.

[Troy_Parker]

Nope. In fact, most of the people think the complete opposite.

[Anno_Domini]

If anything, he looks about as stiff as he has in any other game while swinging.

So, in other words...he doesn't look stiff at all, haha.

[Sticky-Fingers]

Im not talking about the web rush mechanic where he zips forward and lands that looks phenomenal.

Theres just a few shots in there where he is just hanging from his web and it looked out of place to me.

[spida-man]

u guys can't be serious..u guys act like the combat in previous Spidey games NEVER utilized his agility and reflexes.....

[spida-man]

-AW3xVItpe8


so this doesn't count as agility begin utilized in combat? none of the moves he does in terms of switching between multiple enemies can be classified as "freeflow" combat

[Anno_Domini]

How the hell do you call someone a troll when I only see you showing up to only say "you guys can't be serious" about this and that and et cetera?

you probably shouldn't be on the internet then. or you should get over it, either way

spida-man: I'M NOT IN THE MOOD TO BE TOLD HOW MUCH OF A HYPOCRITE I AM

how the freck am i being a hypocryte? what i said/posted was in no way trolling or being a douche bag. I was simply saying how is it some of you guys think spidey's fighting in past games have not been agile when they clearly have been.

wtf is with u guys? do my posts have some sort of message i don't see that only u guys can that says "hey, be a dick towards me and my posts!"?

gawd....i can't ever say anything without u guys personally attacking me.

and i just no you, or anno, or some other jerk is gonna take another stab at me so you know what. screw this, screw you guys, I'M DONE!

buh-bye

[Spider-Aziz]

Also was just looking at the VGA teaser trailer and does anyone think that when he swings he looks stiff as a board.Nope

u guys can't be serious..u guys act like the combat in previous Spidey games NEVER utilized his agility and reflexes.....Quit trying dude, when it comes to Spidey games you're considered a troll showing what's there but others turn there heads away from

Anno_Domini: *says something*

spida-man: I'M NOT IN THE MOOD TO HEAR MORE WTF WEIRDNESS, GET REALCorrected :up:

Agility has definitely been used, but free flow is about more than just switching from enemy to enemy. Free flow is about having a one focused flow through the enemies where the movement feels linked throughout the flow. In spider-man games the movement doesn't really feel linked and it feels like spidey is just beating up everybody.

I would actually say that the spidey combat system closest to free flow is the web strike system from WoS. Not too many similarities, but still closer to free flow than anything else in spider-man games. I hope this finally gives you a right idea what we mean by "free flow"
