Amazing Spidey Video Game Thread. - Part 5

[Oscorp]

Is this what Beenox talked about? Because that's stuff we've already seen :/

[TheWallCrawler]

That can't be the thing Beenox talked about
"We have an all-new reveal coming up this week..."
doesn't sound like viral marketing...

[AME]

Can it be the tour through Europe then?

[Spidey_62]

That was already posted on IGN a few days ago, lots of press places got one delivered.

[Troy_Parker]

Why are people assuming the movie viral has something to do with the game?

It has nothing to do with it. The movie viral is promoting the... you guessed it, the movie!

We'll be getting something else for the game. Either a hands on review, a demo, whatever.

They said we'll be seeing something next week on Tuesday, it's not next week yet. :D

[Oscorp]

Didn't they say "...coming up this week"? :S

[Troy_Parker]

Didn't they say "...coming up this week"? :S

Checked again, you're right. Still, I don't think the game page is going to talk about an "all-new reveal"... and then post stuff about the movie viral which everyone's seen already.

[Oscorp]

True

[White_Knight191]

So... is this what was supposed to be released this week by IGN? :dry:

uw0MUrR5KXc&feature=g-u-u&context=G2bddec4FUAAAAAAAAAA

Pretty underwhelming...

obviously this isn't it. Beenox isnt stupid. they know alot of ppl have seen this already

[White_Knight191]

Let's hope so.. :dry:

[Spider-Aziz]

I like Greg Miller. Him and one other dude, who's name escapes me at the moment, but otherwise, No, I don't care much for their reviews.Hilaryy Goldstein?

For a second, I thought you meant Michael Keaton & I was going to say 'UGH...NO! He was such a boring Batman!'.He's more Batman than Bale ever attempted to be, what is boring about him?

New screenshot.
Indeed

That shield looks like an iPOD

[Nathan]

Indeed

That shield looks like an iPOD

That was totally weird. I was thinking I was looking at a desk, with a mobile phone, pen and writing pad. But I saw the guards and was totally confused. That's when I realized it was a shield and combat staff.

[noeld932]

Graphics look a little... pixily

[Spider-Aziz]

Maybe the designer was attached to their desk so much
Graphics look a little... pixilyMaybe images will look better later

[spider-neil]

that is EXACTLY what it looks like. tiny people on a desk and they are sharing desk space with a mobile phone. the scale looks way off in that picture.

[Spider-Aziz]

Three guards, I thought there were only two

[RealIrOnMaN]

Graphics look a little... pixily
Same here. If only they could release the pic, where Spidey is doing some serious butt-kicking in Oscorp in HQ without watermarks...

New screenshot. Cool!

[spider-neil]

at least the game makers have come to their senses and made the game open world.
yes yes, AA and arkham city are amazing and feel claustrophobic but that is BATMAN and it works for batman. spidey is not batman and he works better when he can explore the city.

[Troy_Parker]

The city in Arkham City is amazing. Never a dull moment. I didn't really even notice that it was actually quite small.

[Web face]

I think that Batman compared to Spider-man in free roam is like Jeeps compared to jets in Battlefield 3. The maps are pretty massive when your going in jeeps and especially foot. But then once you step in a jet, the whole map is small and you can pass through the whole thing really quickly. Too bad I'm just judging this from what I am hearing, I haven't actually played Arkham City yet.

[spider-neil]

The city in Arkham City is amazing. Never a dull moment. I didn't really even notice that it was actually quite small.

the balance of outside and inside is quite good.
if a game maker want to succeed with spidey they have to make you FEEL like spidey. you should be able to swing where you want and climb any surface and if you can't then have a good reason why.

[TheWallCrawler]

exactly

[Pac-Master]

The city in Arkham City is amazing. Never a dull moment. I didn't really even notice that it was actually quite small.
Agreed.

[Troy_Parker]

Completely agreed. I just hope that the entire city is reasonably detailed rather than just being a large box where Spidey can swing with about 5, 6 detailed buildings.

Arkham City was able to overcome that by using a smaller city, which meant everything had an amazing level of detail.

But yeah, it's different for Spidey. I just hope that the city is alive.

[Oscorp]

So, that screenshot was the new stuff we'd get this week? Or is there more to come?

[spider-neil]

I don't know if I'm that bothered by detail, all I know is I want to go anywhere and do anything if the world has to be slightly more blocky to achieve that, 'meh'.

[Troy_Parker]

Really?

So you've got a huge city... that's dead, but you're fine as long as you can swing around for hours?

Ehh, no thanks.

[Spider-ManHero12]

So, that screenshot was the new stuff we'd get this week? Or is there more to come? I certainly hope there is more to come.

[VenomSpawn]

Well they said it'd be something "big" and that we should keep an eye on IGN, and Marvel's facebook is the one that released that screenshot so... I think it's safe to say we can expect more.

[Nathan]

Well, this was something big. A big desk with tiny soldiers.

[AnneFan]

Well they said it'd be something "big" and that we should keep an eye on IGN, and Marvel's facebook is the one that released that screenshot so... I think it's safe to say we can expect more.
Yeah. Just as the film trailer won people over, this big thing they talk about has to have a similar effect for the game.

[Spider-Vader]

Are we still arguing about how big the city in this game should be? It should be huge!

Arkham City worked because Batman moves slowly around the prison. Spidey could get from Joker's hangout to Penguin's museum in two seconds flat. :oldrazz:

[Godzilla2014]

That's what she said!

[webhead731]

The game looks good, but since Beenox is doing it and SD was good and EOT was alright, I'm sure it will be fun.

Obviously, the suit really hurts it. I just hope they have alternate suits like in their previous two, because I'll play as Amazing Bag-Man before I run around in that abomination. :o

[Troy_Parker]

For that comment, I hope we get no alternate suits.

[BrollySupersj]

For that comment, I hope we get no alternate suits.

Holy ****...I was just thinking the same thing! :hehe:

[VenomSpawn]

For that comment, I hope we get no alternate suits.

Man. Can you imagine that though? A free-roaming Spider-Man game with tons of different Spider-Man outfits to swing around in....it would be awesome.

And I won't count Web of Shadows, because that game only had alternate costumes for the Wii version, and there weren't many to choose from anyway.

EDIT: Although I'm pretty certain that I'd spend most of my time wearing the TASM costume, because I love the design so much.

[AnneFan]

Although I'm pretty certain that I'd spend most of my time wearing the TASM costume, because I love the design so much.
Yeah. That aside, I'd wear the TASM suit in game because that's what it *is* in the movie, and y'know, the game is inspired by that. I'd respect the spirit. Makes sense, eh?

[TheWallCrawler]

Indeed.

Though, I understand why some people would not like to use the new costume. I like the costume really much, but in a way it's kinda an insult to many fans. The movies should have the essence of spidey. I know, you could say that it's acceptable because there's so many different costumes in the comics, but this is different. It's harder to make the costume different in the comics, that's why the new designs are so radically different. But when it comes to a live action costume, with minor tweaks you could still make it look totally new & fresh while at the same time being really respective to the original design

So, while I myself like the costume, I think they shouldn't have done it. With just the different costume they lost the interest of many fans and general audience. The second trailer kinda saved the situation, but not completely. Trust me, if the costume would be more like the classic costume, the movie would be so much more hyped and popular.

The new suit: some people think it's awesome, some people think it sucks, classic suit: Most people would've thought it was great and the rest would've thought it was okay. In a business perspective, was the new design worth it?

[Troy_Parker]

I don't get the outcry with the new suit, honestly. TDK's Batman costume is far more of a bastardization of the original design than TASM's is of Spider-Man's... and yet... people act as though he's running around in pink spandex or something. O.o

[spider-neil]

if the movie is good no one will care if the costume is rubbish - read; BB TDK

if the movie is rubbish then costume will be held up as one of the reasons the movie failed - read; SR


for the record I think batman's suit absolutely SUCKS but the movies are so good, who give a ****

[Spider-Aziz]

Ditto

Anybody who thinks a costume that has slightly deviated from the comics is a reason why the movie failed is a ****ing idiot.

But yeah, agreed on the first point. But I'm pretty sure nobody had a problem with the BB suit. It was much better, it was big and bulky, it was intimidating. TDK's suit worked with the whole "knight" and practicality thing though.

[UltimateWebhead]

The city in Arkham was beautiful, with awesome detail, and was the perfect size for Bats. Period.

That screenshot looks cool for sure but I hope we get a reveal of some web swinging, the combat mechanics and an idea of what this Web Rush thing is all about.

[ShadowBoxer]

I too hope the city is active with people walking the streets, cars, and plenty of side missions and street crimes to play. I will be sad if the city is empty and there are only like 3 buildings the you can go into.

[UltimateWebhead]

I hope the city feels 'alive' as NYC does but it's difficult to have a lot of things on the screen and also have the gameplay run smoothly. I'd prefer less activity on the screen (cars, peds, etc.) than have more of that and have to deal with lag and crap.

I agree with the part about plenty of side missions. I liked the amount of side missions in AC but I'd like for there to be more.

[Mike]

Indeed.

I love the new suit, silver rimmed nikes and all. That decision to add the nikes makes the suit and character grounded.

[Spider-Aziz]

Man. Can you imagine that though? A free-roaming Spider-Man game with tons of different Spider-Man outfits to swing around in....it would be awesome.

EDIT: Although I'm pretty certain that I'd spend most of my time wearing the TASM costume, because I love the design so much.Count Ultimate Spider-Man, that one has 5 alternate suits

[GENERAL RAAM582]

That trailer that came out yesterday wasn't it right?

The trailer that came out yesterday is pretty much the exact same trailer we got in December.

[VenomSpawn]

Count Ultimate Spider-Man, that one has 5 alternate suits Yes but that's not necessarily what I mean. In USM you had civilian clothes, the black suit, the wrestling suit, and that weird Arachnoman suit. What I mean is more like the suits they had in Edge of Time, where there were so many to choose from and they were all from different eras and series'.

[Oscorp]

The game looks good, but since Beenox is doing it and SD was good and EOT was alright, I'm sure it will be fun.

Obviously, the suit really hurts it. I just hope they have alternate suits like in their previous two, because I'll play as Amazing Bag-Man before I run around in that abomination. :o

Tss there's one thing having an opinion but that is just ridiculous. You're just butt hurt

[Troy_Parker]

"Hey guys! We promised you an all-new reveal for this week, but unfortunately you will have to wait a little longer! We will let you know as soon as possible the new reveal date…" - From the official TASM game page.

Told you it wasn't the damn movie viral.

Or the screens...

Or the trailer which we've already seen. lol

[Spider-Aziz]

What? I hate it when promised reveals are denied
Then indulge yourselves with this beauty for now
w7RumiJFQXs

[Spider-Aziz]

I don't know about you guys, but after being spoiled with wall fights and some aerial combat (wanted it for years before it actually happened) I don't want them to return to making combat strictly grounded like the case in USM and the PS1 games

[UltimateWebhead]

I don't care if the combat is grounded, although I'd like some aerial stuff and wall stuff too, but the main thing is that the combat is realistic. I don't want to see cartoony 50 hit combos on a human enemy with giant web fists and sparks flying and glowing everytime I land a blow. No thank you. I'd much rather see some combat in the same vein as AC. They probably won't duplicate the exact same system but I would want the smoothness, acrobatic style of combat and realism of taking human thugs or guards out in just a few hits.

[UltimateWebhead]

I really hope this 'delay' in the reveal has nothing to do with the fact that Bennox released the beta last week, probably to IGN amongst others, and got feedback stating something like, "Uh, hey Beenox crew...yeah, this is Greg over at IGN...Yup, I got the Beta...yeah, so, how do I put this...Umm...sorry guys but it sucks big time." And now Activision is doing damage control. I so very much hope this is not the case.

[webhead731]

Tss there's one thing having an opinion but that is just ridiculous. You're just butt hurt

Oh. I'm sorry I don't like the costume. :( I take what I said back, all is okay now! :)

:dry:
Please. I was exaggerating. But I'm partially being truthful. The new suit will take away from the game a bit due to its stupidity. Sorry, just the way I feel. Can't help that, now can I? :up: Unless you want me to lie to myself.

I don't get the outcry with the new suit, honestly. TDK's Batman costume is far more of a bastardization of the original design than TASM's is of Spider-Man's... and yet... people act as though he's running around in pink spandex or something. O.o

Whelp, really? Of course Batman's suit is radically different from the original. You want him to run around in grey and blue spandex? Or black, practically camouflage-in-the-darkness armor? Which by the way is way more believable and realistic for what he's doing in Gotham.
Batman's new suit in TDK is not perfect, and not my favorite, but I like it quite a bit.

This is the biggest difference and reason why fans and audiences like Batman's suit, and aren't so welcoming to Spidey's new one:
Because Batman doesn't look like a cheap, stupid toy. He doesn't look goofy running around, he looks badass and heroic. Spider-Man now looks silly. It's not just my eyes, this is what a lot of people are thinking. That's why there is such a backlash on the new suit.

Batman=Good adaptation with changes and additions that fit the story (less bulky, thinner and more flexible neck, more gaps between the armor for better agility)

Spider-Man=Less faithful adaptation with additions (metal shoes, red stripes on legs, yellow eyes) that really make no sense other than to change it up from Raimi's series

When I hear a reasonable explanation for all the things they added, I'll at least give it that. But either way, to me and many others it comes off as stupid looking regardless of their reasoning for it.

Backlash on the internet. It comes off as petty whining after a while. A few more changes and the moaning would be justified, but as of right now, it's coming off as petty whining.

He's wearing shoes... and the edges of them are visible? OH MY ****ING GOD THEY RUINED THE SUIT.

His suit has a web pattern made of straight lines instead of curved lines? OH MY ****ING GOD THEY RUINED THE SUIT.

He has a red stripe connecting his boots to his belt, similar to how his gloves connect to the suit torso? OH MY ****ING GOD THEY RUINED THE SUIT.

He has yellow eyes... which make him look more bug-like? OH MY ****ING GOD THEY RUINED THE SUIT.

I do agree that it is a matter of preference, but I really don't see why people have a burning hatred for this suit. None of the changes are drastic, imo.

Webb's interpretation is good for overall grounded vibe that he's going for.

[Spider-Aziz]

I don't care if the combat is grounded, although I'd like some aerial stuff and wall stuff too, but the main thing is that the combat is realistic.Realistic combat in spidey world has him pilling people when he's sticking to walls and kicks them off, I want something like that applied here
I don't want to see cartoony 50 hit combos on a human enemy with giant web fists and sparks flying and glowing everytime I land a blow. No thank you.Fair enough
I'd much rather see some combat in the same vein as AC. They probably won't duplicate the exact same system but I would want the smoothness, acrobatic style of combat and realism of taking human thugs or guards out in just a few hits.The lesser the needed hits the better, it's a freaking super human to play with bashing thugs, wonder why some demand to have thugs more than mere punching meat bugs fainting after little amount of attacks

I really hope this 'delay' in the reveal has nothing to do with the fact that Bennox released the beta last week, probably to IGN amongst others, and got feedback stating something like, "Uh, hey Beenox crew...yeah, this is Greg over at IGN...Yup, I got the Beta...yeah, so, how do I put this...Umm...sorry guys but it sucks big time." And now Activision is doing damage control. I so very much hope this is not the case.I hope not
I will never take Greg Miller seriously when it comes to Spider-Man games, or anyone who thinks the extremely repetitive thing is awesome after complaining about repetition in an earlier game with just as much repetition (SD vs WoS), even if I think they both suck

[Troy_Parker]

I think I read on TASM page that the combat is more realistic. It was in an answer to a fan question... I think.

And I'm glad. No more glowing attacks that look like they belong in a Street Fighter game. And no more web constructs... leave making fists out of nowhere and whatnot to Green Lantern.

I agree with you here Troy. I like the suit enough that the game will not be ruined by the design, unlike others have suggested. It's an interpretation. That's it. People are picky when it comes to their favorite characters...I understand that, but it's not like you can't tell that it's Spider-man. For those that are worried about having to play the game with the movie suit only...I'd say hang in there. I realize there are licensing issues at work here but this is Beenox and they are well known for instituting a plethora of alt costumes in their games. I venture to guess there will be something available over the PS store or Xbox Live and you can purchase additional skins...much like with AC.

[Spider-Aziz]

Fan Question #3 answered by Rodolphe, our Lead Game Designer. Josh C. Hoeck asked if the combat system would be different from our previous games.

Hi Josh! Yes, the combat system has been fully redesigned to give the player a much deeper and more realistic experience than previous Spider-Man games. We’ve put all our efforts into avoiding the button mashing syndrome. We are also integrating the new Web Rush gameplay mechanic that will allow the player to execute acrobatic and combat combinations like never before. Are you ready to experience what it’s truly like to have Spider-Man’s powers? :)
I kind want some extreme stuff like building a web boat as he did in the 60s cartoon, lol

Ok. Noob question time. Can someone explain to me how to break up someone's post line for line like Aziz did with mine in this reply?? I don't see an icon to choose to make this happen or maybe I'm missing it. Either way I'm feeling rather dumb :csad:

At least something by water, not for fight, good for some laughs for a while, and beats travelling by swimming

[UltimateWebhead]

Got it :woot:

[UltimateWebhead]

Sure I guess. I mean, as long as they nail all the really important stuff like combat, web swinging, the story, side missions, etc. and they have time to f_ck around and make stuff like a web boat...I'd be ok with that. If they have the boat and fail at the other important stuff...that's a no-no.

[Spider-Aziz]

Agreed. As you said, it's a 'backlash' on the internet. The general audience simply put no time into these nitpicks that people on here do. In all honesty friends and people I talk to, or show the trailer to, say nothing at all about the suit. They will just comment on if they'd see it, and they all want to. Seriously, this suit is recognisable as Spider-Man and people carry on as if he isn't, as if he wearing fluro green instead. Comic book films change suits all the time, and when the series rebooted a change was to be expected. And the changes do differentiate but they're not drastic overhauls.

My family and friends that have seen the trailers have yet to make any sort of a remark about the change in the suit design. It is still very easy to recognize him as Spider-man. Most of the comments I got were of this sort:

"Where's Tobey?"
"Why is MJ's hair blonde"
--Don't worry...I cleared these up with everyone. They get it now :woot:

"Whoa! The Lizard! He looks crazy!"
"Damn. This movie looks awesome."

[VenomSpawn]

Why is MJ's hair blonde?

Gets me every ****ing time. :lmao:

[webhead731]

Seriously, this suit is recognisable as Spider-Man

Is this recognizable as Batman?

[webhead731]

My family and friends that have seen the trailers have yet to make any sort of a remark about the change in the suit design. It is still very easy to recognize him as Spider-man. Most of the comments I got were of this sort:

"Where's Tobey?"
"Why is MJ's hair blonde"
--Don't worry...I cleared these up with everyone. They get it now :woot:

"Whoa! The Lizard! He looks crazy!"
"Damn. This movie looks awesome."

My family and friends think the exact opposite. Spidey fans, just regular movie goers or people who don't really go to movies often.
They all just get this :dry: on their face.

Yeah. Those are at the far end of the extreme. I don't see how anybody could seriously compare the new Spidey suit to those. Not even the same ballpark.

Agreed.

[SpideyFan866]

Agreed. Most that I know were pissed and confused when they found out they where starting over. All were under the impression the 4 was still coming and were kinda disappointed when finding out it wasn't happening.


However, most said they'd give it a chance after seeing the 2nd trailer.

BTW, I haven't had heard any complaints from the GA about the costume, just the fact that Tobey is gone, the main thing everyone says when I tell them they rebooted.

[socool]

Hey, guys! I'm so psyched for this game! It-

Oh, my mistake. I seem to have entered the costume thread. I'll be on my way. Carry on, fellows.

In all fairness, the costume(s) is/are a big part of the game. What do you guys think the chances will be that they have additional suits available??

My guess is that they have them for purchase...much like the AC skins pack.

Beenox needs to change their name to Teasecox, because that's what they're doing to us now. :csad:

Shocking :whatever: especially coming from someone who complains about this movie in each thread.

[TheWallCrawler]

Is this recognizable as Batman?

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f91/cheer4dawgs/batman-and-robin-6.jpg

Well, it seems that Webb changed the costume for creative purposes, but Schumacher changed the batman costume just for toy purposes, and that's exactly what they look, like toy figures.

Of course they thought it would also sell more toys, but it's mostly because Webb wanted to be creative and he put way more effort in to the suit.

yeah you can't really compare the costumes, Schumacher totally sold out. I hated the fact that they changed costumes in the middle of the movie without any reason :whatever:

[Oscorp]

"Hey guys! We promised you an all-new reveal for this week, but unfortunately you will have to wait a little longer! We will let you know as soon as possible the new reveal date…" - From the official TASM game page.

Told you it wasn't the damn movie viral.

Or the screens...

Or the trailer which we've already seen. lol

Damn you Beenox! Everytime this kind of thing happens!

Oh. I'm sorry I don't like the costume. :( I take what I said back, all is okay now! :)

:dry:
Please. I was exaggerating. But I'm partially being truthful. The new suit will take away from the game a bit due to its stupidity. Sorry, just the way I feel. Can't help that, now can I? :up: Unless you want me to lie to myself.

You know, you've behaved hurt and mad ever since the reboot was announced...and so far (as far as I've seen) you've said NOTHING positive about this film. There's one thing having an opinion about the suit, or saying that you're skeptical about this film, but I don't think you as a Spidey fan would REALLY hate EVERYTHING about this film after this second trailer.

I'm sorry but you just come off as a Raimi fan who does nothing but whine because you didn't get your precious Spider-Man 4.

Sure, you shouldn't lie to yourself, but as you said yourself, you ARE exaggerating. You just complain, because you like to.

They really should label these threads.

Game costume
I want to play as Peter Parker again, as I like this time, not what is considered a glitch

[Godzilla2014]

Game costume

Agreed. Peter Parker is a major part of what makes Spider-Man so appealing as a character.

[Spider-Aziz]

How many games allowed us to control Peter Parker so far? Out of costume?
I can easily say the movie games on home consoles, and USM
If only as an alternate costume count then you can add the PS1 games

[Troy_Parker]

I want to play as Peter when it's part of the story. Not just as a skin.

[Spider-Aziz]

I wouldn't mind it being just a skin, I want to play as PP and use his Spidey powers doing so

[Troy_Parker]

No thanks. I've had enough of skins. I don't mind them adding him in as a skin, but first I want to play as him when he's needed in the actual story.

[Troy_Parker]

Also, I want to see Andrew Garfield's game likeness. :funny:

[Spider-ManHero12]

I want to play as Peter when it's part of the story. Not just as a skin. I would like it either way, tbh.

[Troy_Parker]

Kinda pointless then. I want to see them nail all aspects of the Spider-Man character in a game. Even if it was for a little while, they were able to do it in Spider-Man 2... so why can't they do it for this game?

[Spider-Aziz]

No thanks. I've had enough of skins. I don't mind them adding him in as a skin, but first I want to play as him when he's needed in the actual story.Who had enough of skins? Skins add to the fun, and challenge

Also, I want to see Andrew Garfield's game likeness. :funny:I do too, both in cinematics and gameplay

I would like it either way, tbh.Yep

[Troy_Parker]

Who had enough of skins? Skins add to the fun, and challenge


Meh. You're still doing the exact same thing you did in your previous playthrough. And challenge? Skins don't make a game any more or less difficult than it already was.

[Spider-Aziz]

Meh. You're still doing the exact same thing you did in your previous playthrough. And challenge? Skins don't make a game any more or less difficult than it already was.
Unlocking them is a challenge
And of course you do the same thing, let's hope we have in this game even more tricks than I managed to find in SM3, I desperately want a Spider-Man game to love more, and tricks break the monotony

[Troy_Parker]

I hope we have challenge maps similar to the Arkham games.

[TheWallCrawler]

Adding Peter gameplay would be awesome since many times in spider-man comics there has been Peter in action. At least that's what I remember... I have to admit, I don't read that much spider-man comics since they are hard to get here in Finland, but I read every spidey comic I get in my hands, and I have a huge respect towards them

[SpideyFan866]

I also want to be able to play as Peter but not just as a skin.

I think it should be like Neversoft's Spider-Man. In that game, many of the alternate suits actually enchanced your abilities in the game rather than just acting as a skin.

For instance, the Black Suit have you unlimited webbing and the Spidey-Armor gave you invincibilty.

That's something that should be present in TASM the game, provided there are alternate costumes.

Playing as Peter should feel a bit more risky than in costume as Spider-Man. The danger level should be upped slightly. Perhaps for the Peter gameplay they add a bar that, when it fills to high, means your identity has been revealed.

[Spider-Aziz]

I hope we have challenge maps similar to the Arkham games.
You want challenges to have their own mode in the menu and break the mold of "free roam mapped challenges"?

[Troy_Parker]

I wonder if there'll be a vigilante Spidey skin, if there are alternate skins...

[Troy_Parker]

You want challenges to have their own mode in the menu and break the mold of "free roam mapped challenges"?

Yes.

Not just simple beat 'em up challenges though, a variety. Maybe swinging challenges, fighting challenges, stealth challenges.

[Spider-Aziz]

Not just simple beat 'em up challenges though, a variety. Maybe swinging challenges, fighting challenges, stealth challenges.All open world games I played so far are this way, minus stealth challenges

[Troy_Parker]

And hopefully it'll be the same for this.

[Spider-Aziz]

Hopefully better variety of challenges

[SpideyFan866]

Agreed. I want a ver in depth gameplay. I want to have to use all of Spidey's abilities.

[Spider-Aziz]

Maybe some challenges will have him building web fluid

[Spider-Man101]

I don't care if the combat is grounded, although I'd like some aerial stuff and wall stuff too, but the main thing is that the combat is realistic. I don't want to see cartoony 50 hit combos on a human enemy with giant web fists and sparks flying and glowing everytime I land a blow. No thank you. I'd much rather see some combat in the same vein as AC. They probably won't duplicate the exact same system but I would want the smoothness, acrobatic style of combat and realism of taking human thugs or guards out in just a few hits.

Personally, I think they should just put it almost exactly like AC. Just put the spider-sense you see on enemies, on Spider-Man instead, and make the combat look a little more acrobatic, I think it would work perfectly :up:

[Spider-Vader]

Has it been confirmed if this game will use web cartridges as a part of the gameplay?

[socool]

It has.

[Spider-Man101]

Rino Romano is the Kevin Conroy of Spider-Man in being the definite voice, he's great sounding young and mature, and surprised me greatly when I heard the Spider-Man voice working fine for Batman

You know what's funny, Rino has also voiced Batman xD

[Spider-Aziz]

i hope not, we've already seen that one. i hope it's something newIn two games

You know what's funny, Rino has also voiced Batman xDThat's why he surprised me xD

[Spider-Man101]

Have there been any pre-order bonuses announced? I just now pre-ordered it and wanna know if I'm getting anything special.

[Troy_Parker]

There was one at NYCC. You got a poster then for pre-ordering. As of right now? Nope. There most likely will be in the future, which is why I'm going to wait until I see more footage, etc... and obviously until they reveal the pre-order bonuses before I pre-order.

[Spider-Aziz]

Who would pre-order the game for a poster?

[UltimateWebhead]

Pre-ordering now is silly IMO. There will most certainly be some type of pre-order bonus offer in the near future. I am gonna hold out for one of those.

[TheWallCrawler]

Still no updates on the big reveal...

[UltimateWebhead]

Still no updates on the big reveal...

Not yet. I am hoping they give us some news by the end of this week.

[Spider-Vader]

Nice. That'll be an interesting aspect to the gameplay. A nice way to spice up the Spider-Man games as well.

[Spider-Aziz]

I agree, if sometimes annoying

[Spider-Aziz]

After giving this free flow system deeper looking into, it kinda works for Batman, but it's terrible for Spider-Man, cause:
1. Spider-Man has superhuman strength, he should take down thugs easier
2. What is described to be a button masher is more stylistic and less of a painful button masher than this free flow, and each move actually does have different effect
3. Look at the last line in the point above, yeah, I tried it, but no matter how different the attacks in BAA, the same effect for each attacks, the same number of attacks to subdue each thug
4. How exactly did you believe in this free flow? It's a sore thumbing button masher, and some moves can only be used if instruction to use them is displayed

F*** that over glorified repeated button tapping with little analog dancing

I'm not saying that Free Flow is necessarily the best option for spidey, but if you watch the 2nd trailer again, the way spidey fights those cops just screams freeflow. Now I'm not talking about batman freeflow, but more about Catwoman and Robin freeflow which are more agile.

If they wont do freeflow, they can still learn about the mechanics of it and get some ideas from it

[UltimateWebhead]

After giving this free flow system deeper looking into, it kinda works for Batman, but it's terrible for Spider-Man, cause:
1. Spider-Man has superhuman strength, he should take down thugs easier

Well, yes. But Spidey also pulls his punches just enough to subdue his enemies. It would still work for him, just alter the amount of damage. It would be a cool option to be able to control just how much strength Spidey can use in any encounter.

2. What is described to be a button masher is more stylistic and less of a painful button masher than this free flow, and each move actually does have different effect
3. Look at the last line in the point above, yeah, I tried it, but no matter how different the attacks in BAA, the same effect for each attacks, the same number of attacks to subdue each thug

I am not asking for an exact replica of the 'free flow' system but some kind of a version of it. Give me the smoothness of the movements and the weight to the characters movements with the acrobatic style of Spidey and you've got a winner.

4. How exactly did you believe in this free flow? It's a sore thumbing button masher, and some moves can only be used if instruction to use them is displayed

F*** that over glorified repeated button tapping with little analog dancing

Play as Catwoman and just imagine it's Spidey instead. The system could work with some tweaks here and there. The combat in AC has a very rewarding feel to it but like anything else it can be improved. Hopefully Beenox does this. Only time will tell.

[Spider-Aziz]

I can accept if they do the right modifications, like keeping both buttons to switch between, with no need to press certain sequences for certain moves

[Mysterioman]

I'd like a charged punch or jab to be a KO to thugs. Or maybe set the strength level so you could kick the crap out of thugs. It'd be awesome running around beating murderers and thugs *&&^^%less.

Saw that. Web cartridge storage is my guess. Weird though, don't know how I feel about it.

[TDK Joker]

Spidey has a belt in the game!

http://i.imgur.com/qF4o9.png

I was going to post the same thing! After having seen the costume for, what, almost a year now?, and now seeing it with quite a chunky belt, it's very strange.

[Oscorp]

Hmm this trailer was interesting to say the least. Mostly because of Osborn's appearance (as it seems) and Spider-Man using a belt.

Rhino being another "Lizard"-type villain surprised me, and I'm not sure if I like it. I'd prefer him to be in a suit tbh. But I really like what they explain to be his characteristic traits in the game. This part especially sounds really good to me:

And I would add that Rhino’s rampaging is also rooted deeply in sheer frustration. You have to realize, his brain was turned to such mush through the experiment that anything resembling intelligent thought simply escapes him – but at the same time, he possesses some semblance of the concept of intelligent thought because he did indeed live it as Sytsevich. He knows it’s a cool thing to have.
This is the best analogy I can make for Rhino’s current thought process, and why it leads to such frustration: You know those times in everyday life when you open your closet door to get some random trinket, but you forget what you wanted out of there in the first place? It’s pretty frustrating until you remember what you’re after a second or two later. Now, imagine that feeling, but it never ends. That’s what Rhino’s experiencing. And the “random trinket” he’s looking for is his identity and what it’s like to think like a human being. Wouldn’t that make you want to go on a rampage?

EDIT: In regards to the gameplay itself. The graphics look...not so nice tbh. Looks even pretty ugly to me. However, the combat definitely seems to be free flow inspired by AC, which is a huge plus for me.

[SpaceWay2009]

Since this is a movie game, I would think both the game and movie costumes would have a belt, or no belt at all. Either way, I'm fine with it.

[WebbHead]

I just can't get behind this game. For me, it was doomed as soon as I heard it wouldn't be following the movie. The Lizard-Rhino dynamic sounds really...not good and the addition of the utility belt on this suit couldn't look anymore out of place. The only redeeming factor this game has is the open world, and even that doesn't make this a must buy for me due to the other questionable moves Beenox has made.

[Oscorp]

I don't think the belt is only for cartridges. He might use the Spider Signal and stuff as well :) I hope so.

BTW, there was one thing that disappointed me in the trailer, and that's the fact that we, yet again, didn't really see any gameplay from a player's point of view. I want to see the REAL camera angles.

Also, the web swinging didn't look that great

[Compi716]

The belt is a nice addition, and Spidey also looks a bit bulkier in the game trailer.

Wasn't impressed by the trailer, tbh (the graphics look bad, textures are a little fuzzy), but... I was surprised by the Spidey-belt! It was totally unexpected & a pleasant surprise.

The question is: will we see the belt closer to the end of ASM or this is just something, that he came up with in order to defeat the Rhino?

[WebbHead]

Good lord that belt is hideous.

Maybe they added it because they read the forums were some people, when seeing the movie suit for the first time, complained a bit about how crotch area looked empty, like it was missing a belt.

The graphics look amazing in this screen but they look fuzzy in the trailer. Why is the trailer so low res?

And on the belt, I think that we may end up seeing something like this in a sequel... unfortunately. It may be why Webb decided against a belt for Spidey in TASM, to show evolution of the suit.

I'd rather they have a rotating cartridge mechanism built into his webshooters (hell, they're already sticking out as it is) as opposed to a belt that doesn't compliment the suit.

[Oscorp]

I really like his origin and characteristics in this game...but I really don't like him being part human part rhinosaurus.

[Troy_Parker]

EDIT: RIM posted it already. :D

[RealIrOnMaN]

I'd rather they have a rotating cartridge mechanism built into his webshooters (hell, they're already sticking out as it is) as opposed to a belt that doesn't compliment the suit.
I'm okay with the belt as long as it's not 'canon' but rather something, that he uses against Rhino. The design of the belt isn't that good, but it'll do... for the video game.

[Compi716]

If they decide to go with the "Oscorp creates the villains" story (like SSM) for this series, I think that's great. I love the idea of Osborn as this Luthor-like character who doesn't want to get his hands dirty until he really needs to/is driven crazy and has a split Goblin personality.

Did he mention that somewhere before?

Nope, lol. Just something I thought after seeing the new game trailer.

[SpaceWay2009]

lol Actually, that would be a good idea if Webb decided to do that, IMO.

[Anno_Domini]

Hrm.....so....Rhino breaks out of OsCorp?

[Ultimatehero]

Hopefully...

http://www.samruby.com/Villains/Morbius/MorbiusBig.gif

Is a villain too, betting he will be towards the end of the game - that's just... AWESOME! Never thought I'd get to see that.

What ANIMALS do you think we're going to have to fight that aren't humans to begin with?

[Oscorp]

He probably will. That will be fun I think!

Though, it also seems like there will be at least one villain who's an animal first, mixed with human DNA (the opposite of Rhino and Lizard). I don't know how I feel about that.

[Anno_Domini]

A new take on Swarm maybe?

http://www.the-iss.com/2009/04/30/img/swarm.jpg

[Oscorp]

Hmm now that would be really interesting!

[Ultimatehero]

He probably will. That will be fun I think!

Exactly. Same thoughts here. But, who??? Who could be an animal first then made somewhat human?

Only possibilities that spring to mind...

Jackal
Puma
Leap Frog
Vulture (I seriously hope not)

Iguana??Character history (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/iguana.htm) <- Seems likely, this would fit in as a sequel.

Is anyone bothered by the fact this game is coming out before the movie, while the game's story-line occurs after the movie?

[socool]

I didn't mind the trailer, but IGN's player kept ****ing up and the screen kept getting fuzzy so I never got a real good look at the graphics. I like the idea behind Rhino. I had never thought of/heard of a Rhino that was actually part rhino! I like it. It's new, unique, and contributes to the movie in a bit seeing as how he is connected to The Lizard's creation.

The belt is okay. It doesn't really do anything for or against the suit. It has an interesting design but it's too clunky looking compared to the skin-tight suit. I do like that the combat looks like free-flow and that he actually uses his webs for a lot. It's nice.

I'm still remaining hopeful, but I need to see straight-up gameplay before I decide.

[Troy_Parker]

Is anyone bothered by the fact this game is coming out before the movie, while the game's story-line occurs after the movie?

Not really.

I doubt they're going to mention anything that'll ruin major points of the movie apart from obviously, the fact that the Lizard was a villain that was also born at Oscorp.

[Mike]

Beenox isn't really trying to sell this game are they? Decent trailer but I'm not sold. This looks like the other spidey games I played.

[socool]

No, they're trying to show you the game and keep it for themselves.

Seriously though, I mostly agree. It looks more realistic (aside from the fact Spidey swings from NOTHING) but I don't see anything much different from other games. I'm still waiting for real gameplay to change my mind.

[Oscorp]

Spidey's swinging looks pretty stiff and slow.

I like in the combat however how Spidey attacks one guy and immediately after takes down another one in the same flow. Definitely looks AC to me.

[Spider-Aziz]

@spida-man: It's why I added you to my friends list

@Mike: What? Swinging and fighting? OK

@socool: I didn't look at the release date after the trailer ended, but dude, that find is interesting

@Who thinks it's Osborn: Guy at Oscorp, didn't tell anything to his "SUPERIORS", you checked that in the article?

[Mike]

Peter Parker is just as important as spider-man, the people he has a relationship with and the world around him is aswell. AC nailed that. You can truly tell rocksteady are batheads. Plus they gave us a preview and a ton of vids way before the release date. TASM game has rushed stamped all over it.

Anyone to comment on the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" hum?

Rushed? I thought this game started development at around the same time that Shattered Dimensions did? I might have gotten false information though.

That actually reminded me of the TDKR trailer a little bit.

The game will spoil whether Connors lives or dies.

[Spider-Aziz]

Pedestrian fingers look as big as they were since SM3

[Troy_Parker]

The game will spoil whether Connors lives or dies.

Doubt it. That would be incredibly stupid.

[Spider-Aziz]

Doubt it. That would be incredibly stupid.
Not mentioning Connors existence could be a bigger mistake

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Considering we do not only see Peter Parker in Edge of Time, but also plays a role in the story, I'd say they do.

[Web face]

I have a question, is it confirmed that the web will stick to the sky instead of buildings?

[Spider-Aziz]

Only games with no role for Peter are FoF and SD

[Spider-Aziz]

I have a question, is it confirmed that the web will stick to the sky instead of buildings?
Apparently, it doesn't stick to a surface of any kind
At least that conclusion came to my head after 3 trailers

[Web face]

That's a little disappointing to here I'll admit

[Troy_Parker]

I have a question, is it confirmed that the web will stick to the sky instead of buildings?

Nope. lol

[KurtMysterio]

I only JUST realized the voice in the beginning was humming 'Itsy Bitsy Spider.' Epic.

[Spider-Aziz]

I only JUST realized the voice in the beginning was humming 'Itsy Bitsy Spider.' Epic.
I said this in two threads here, and a comment on youtube
Thanks for noticing :)

[SpaceWay2009]

So Spider-Man will be swinging from the sky, kind of like in SM1?

[Oscorp]

Looks that way from the trailers we've gotten

[KurtMysterio]

Comment was meant to be self effacing, as in I felt silly for only just noticing this on multiple watches.

[Troy_Parker]

@Spaceway: No. We don't know that. What his webline is attached to is cut off in the trailers.

[KurtMysterio]

So Spider-Man will be swinging from the sky, kind of like in SM1?

Mind would be obliterated if this game took us back to PSX level of swinging system.

[Spider-Aziz]

@Spaceway: No. We don't know that. What his webline is attached to is cut off in the trailers.
Wonder how it will be in game

[BatsDC]

I thought it was said somewhere that when Spidey swings the webs wouldn't attach to buildings, but the the areas near them.

[Spider-Aziz]

I thought it was said somewhere that when Spidey swings the webs wouldn't attach to buildings, but the the areas near them.
Like banners and flagpoles?
That reminds me of the lack of flagpoles in all trailers

[Eggyman]

I thought they said that the webs would stick to buildings but at some points they wouldn't to make it easier on the player. Like, you know, areas where there are no buildings. I don't know. See how it goes. It'll probably be pants.

[Juicy J]

The music in that new teaser was about as good as it gets.
I wish I could've appreciated it though, cause the entire time watching it I was distracted by the stupid stupid utility belt.

[Spider-Aziz]

Watched the trailer again, Rhino looks like he has the skin on more than he is a mutate

[Spectacular23]

I"m not going to lie the utility belt caught me way off guard... :wow:

Guess everybody got what they wished for.. But like I always wondered where he was gonna store his cartridges.

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Spider-Man's ALWAYS had a belt. Where do you think he puts his spare web cartridges, spider-tracers, and the Spidey Signal in?

[Spider-Aziz]

It looks ugly on the outside of Spidey's costume?

[Spectacular23]

You don't know that.

Doubt it. That would be incredibly stupid.

Same here. I thought the purpose of them doing a story AFTER the movie meaning they shouldn't retail the movie in the game... Even if Connors is dead or not.

[Troy_Parker]

Spider-Man's ALWAYS had a belt. Where do you think he puts his spare web cartridges, spider-tracers, and the Spidey Signal in?

Lol. Do you really think his belt would be on the level of his costume as it is in the comics, or bulky like it is in the game if he was carrying those things in his belt?

[Anno_Domini]

Is anyone bothered by the fact this game is coming out before the movie, while the game's story-line occurs after the movie?

Not at all. I mean, with the rate I'm on with games these days, even if I buy the game, I would never be able to finish it until after the movie comes out.

lol those greedy bastards. But seriously, do these developers really get spider-man?

(*points down*)

Considering we do not only see Peter Parker in Edge of Time, but also plays a role in the story, I'd say they do.

Giggity :up:

Also, we've seen concept art for Peter's room, so I'm sure Peter Parker will play some role instead of just solely Spider-Man.

[Darkness Falls]

new trailer was boss
loved the itsy bitsy spider humming music :D

[TheWallCrawler]

I just came home and YEAH finally something more on the game :D gotta say, it was pretty epic! I was really surprised to see spidey with a belt, what do you guys think of it?

[Spider-Aziz]

I think of "The Batman" animated

[BrollySupersj]

**** yes, The Rhino!

Love me some Rhino.

[TheWallCrawler]

I think of "The Batman" animated

What do you mean?

[Spider-Aziz]

What do you mean?
It reminded me of "The Batman vs Dracula" when Batman held all those viles of anti-vampirism drugs

[BrollySupersj]

Spider-Man's built looks neat I think. I'm not one for the more gadget type Spider-Man, but movie and game versions are really looking good to me.

[Spider-Aziz]

http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/121/1218806/the-amazing-spider-man-game-screens-20120215012614950.jpgImage wants me to watch Venom lifting Rhino from his horn so badly
I hope We're allowed to do that

[TheWallCrawler]

oh yeah! Didn't remember that one

speaking of Batman, the combat in this game really really looks like some kind of freeflow

It feels like there will be two attack buttons

[Troy_Parker]

...Isn't that pretty much common with all games?

[Spider-Aziz]

Noir stealth attack button, or just web button used for certain attacks

[TheWallCrawler]

It feels like there will be two attack buttons

Possibly. I don't know if Spidey needs countering, he's more of a "dodger" type.

[Spider-Aziz]

Possibly. I don't know if Spidey needs countering, he's more of a "dodger" type.
They had the right idea in SM3 by making the dodge button used for counter attacks

[craigdbfan]

Good to see that the designers over at Beenox also noticed the lack of the classic belt design made the costume incredibly lacking and did their best in fixing it by actually giving it a physical belt that breaks up the color a bit.

[Spider-Aziz]

Is that sarcastic or your opinion?

[TheWallCrawler]

I'm still wondering that is the belt there because Beenox got some insight of the sequel, or if they just wanted to put it there

[craigdbfan]

Is that sarcastic or your opinion?

Its an observation.

[Spidey_62]

So the devs hinted that Spidey may be facing some other foes who are sort of 'leftovers from the Lizard' and said Rhino was the only who was human beforehand. They said any others were animals infused with human DNA.

Any ideas on who any of the other ones might be? Scorpion, Vulture?

[socool]

I'm praying for Vulture. I think it would be awesome to use this "Web-Rush" thing on him, especially in the air. It's almost like a really cinematic web-strike.

Well, the other villain is Morbius probably and then as per the animal with human DNA - I'm guessing it's the Iguanna because that's actually the Iguanna's background already.

I think the belt looks pretty cool IMO, since the game takes place after the film, he probably realized it would be useful to have a belt to keep web cartridges and other gidgets gadgets :awesome:

[Spidey_62]

Morbius was just reffered to as an Oscorp scientist who is blackmailed to create the Rhino.

[craigdbfan]

Yeah I like it too.

[Alchemyst]

It gives him that "retro" 70's Spider-Man look

http://www.haikumoviereviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/wedgie.jpg

:awesome:

[TheWallCrawler]

It would be kinda cool if the vulture would be a cross of vulture and human DNA, kinda like the vulture from Shattered Dimensions
