Disk defects? That sucks.

Yeah, the two copies I've had so far look like someone at the factory smeared grease all over them. Obvious factory defects. I'm not alone.... 8 People at my local EB have had this issue including two that work there.

Haha, yea he died like 8 years ago, but I swear he looked JUST like that pic Bensta posted. Hell, I think he made that same face a few times.

[Benstamania]

Haha, whoops.

[ProjectPat2280]

LOL.

It's all good my brother. Iv got a new cat now. Meaner than all hell tho.

[Rose]

i never realized cats came in anything but mean. They despise me with a passion.

[Benstamania]

I have two.. One that's about ten and one that's brand spankin' new. We found her outside. Both extreme "cuddle bugs" as my wife calls them.

My big tom can even open closed doors. It blows my mind.

I'm sure he misses you Pat, and those kind words mean a lot to him. :yay:

LOL.

The one i had that looked like that picture was cool as hell. He'd hop right on your lap and just chill. This new one, though, he's a different story(by new i mean like 4 years old?). He'll act all sweet and start rolling over and as soon as you go to pet him, his claws extend and then he'll latch on to your arm right before his teeth sink as deep into your flesh as he can possibly muster. Hurts like i dont know what. Then after he's torn a bit of flesh from whatever part of your body he was able to grab, he'll start rubbing up against ur leg as if to say, 'haha, just kidding'. Its fascinating. Iv never met a cat with as much personality as he has, granted its a sadistic, psychopathic personality but still, he's got one. I dont live at the house he does any more(its my parents) and they tell me that in the morning he'll come into their room to wake them up, at first he'll just hop on the bed and start poking at my dad to get up, if that doesnt work, then he'll hop on to their night stand and start knocking s**t off until they do get up. He runs that house, my parents are basically his staff.

Sounds like my best friend's cat, that bastard will sit on the counter and watch you as you're making something to eat, calm and collective, walk by him once you're done and he'll claw the **** out of you, for no reason. Play a video game and he'll sit in your lap, adjust yourself to accommodate his hefty ass, claws you for it, it's like the moment he sits in your lap, you are considered comfortable, you have no right to move until he leaves your lap. That cat has some problems, my friend had a party one night and I passed out on one of his guest rooms, i closed the door and you could hear that ****in cat scratching the door like "I know you're in there" *shudders*

Haha, yea when i go home to visit ill be hanging out in my old room and ill just see his arm reach under the door feeling for anything he can get a hold of. I mean he can be nice sometimes tho. My mom claims that when he bites you its just a "love bite". Sometimes ill let him bite me just to see if he'll let go but he always tries to bite harder. Its like he's daring me to take my hand out of his mouth.

Cats are some indecisive creatures, unlike dogs, dogs show their aggression through barking. Cats can claw you with a calm face and look at you like you were the one who ****ed up so you got what you got.

Not all in game costumes will be available from launch.

According to the official strategy guide they are going to add hidden spider-logos each week starting after launch which will unlock the costumes in game. The first week is Scarlet Spider.

The exceptions are the suits that are unlocked naturally in game not through logos which are no belt default suit, Black suit (100% game), and I believe the cross species suit which I believe is for beating the game.

[venom892]

Anyone else bothered it's the Spider-man 3 black suit and not the comic one?

Does that mean that the dozen or so suits we were told were in the game aren't available from the start or are the suits we get by finding these spidey symbols on the disk, just not available yet?

If it's the former, I'm pissed. Real pissed.

I am. I find the Spider-Man 3 version FAR inferior to the comic.

Ah interesting. So is it only the 3 costumes from the start, with the rest coming later? Or do we not know at this point?

I would have preferred the orig for sure.

[Wolvieboy17]

I USED to really want the 616 costume but honestly, now I'm so used to the ASM costume it wouldn't really make a difference to me, i just don't like the belt, so I'm sorted.

To be honest, I'd rather the Spider-Man 3 red and blue suit. Then I can play the Danny elfman soundtrack and relive my Spider-Man 2 the game days

From what I understand the suits are unlocked by finding the spider logos. The spider logos will be added to the game 1 a week after release. The suits are likely on the disk you just have to wait for the logo to be added.

It isn't a huge issue to me as it will likely just be like getting free updates but I don't see much point in it.

[Alchemyst]

I am, as much as I love the Raimi suit, I wanted the black suit to be different, can't really get any better than the comic version. All the extra cosmetic stuff they added to it only worked for the red and blue Raimi suit IMO

[Wolvieboy17]

Oh wait, so it sounds like they're gonna release that stuff like they did with Prototype 2. I don't mind that, it's a cool way to get longevity out of a free roam game that might be otherwise quite easy to beat.

The point is to entice a lot of people to hold onto their copy of the game for longer and not trade it in, thus keeping more copies out of the used market. It's actually pretty smart, but as a consumer I hate it. It's not like getting free updates, it's like them stripping out content that they gave us as part of the past 2 games and then making us wait to get it.

It is somewhat odd that it's the Soiderman 3 movie/game suit and not, say, a redesign of what the black suit would look like in the ASM-verse.

They probably weren't allowed to do that. The movies may intend to go with that route at some point in which case they will want to design the costume themselves.

Beenox, please satisfy Pat's urge the most, he needs the 616 original and Black suit more than any of us

I just want the black suit to actually be black, not gray or purple, I'll be satisfied with dark blue highlights, just keep the black suit BLAAAAAAAAAAAACK

It'd hardly be impossible. The costumes would most likely be on the disc content and it's not like locked content hasn't been uncovered before.

[Rose]

More worrisome news.

People I have been talking to who have the game have been reporting issues such as being able to beat the game in around 15 hours doing all sidequests and that the random crimes are finite.

This is really starting to worry me about the game. :csad:

[Mario_Galaxy]

15 hours for a movie tie in is pretty damn good, I'd say...

[Rose]

15 hours for a movie tie in is pretty damn good, I'd say...

Yes but that is with all the sidequests. This after Beenox said 30 hours. I understand companies usually overstate the play time but doubling it seems a bit much.

On top of that the lack of infinite random crimes is annoying. That is one of the things I like doing in these kind of games. Just swing around fighting crime. To be told that you can't do that after you have done all the pre-designed crimes is really upsetting.

[Mister Sinister]

15 hours is bad now? I aced Arkham City in a little longer than that.

[Mario_Galaxy]

Like you said, companies always overstate it. I remember hearing about Arkham City's storyline being like 20 hours (dunno if it was Rocksteady or an "inside tip") but I definitely beat it in 8 or 9.

Didn't know that about the crimes, that is kind of lame. The random crimes on top of the free roam swinging is pretty much the blueprint for a Spider-Man game. But I remember in Spider-Man 2 that the random crimes actually went in some weird order, and then there was the balloon shenanigans...still, something is better than nothing.

[Alchemyst]

I'm assuming 15 hours after completing the game along with every variation of sidequest that the game offers. I'm almost positive alot of sidequest would still be available after beating the initial story mode. Random crimes would still occur and what not, and for a movie tie-in, 15 hours is not bad at all. Captain America, The Hulk, Thor and Iron Man can be completed in less than that.

Except the issue here is that from what I am hearing from multiple sources there are no continuous random crimes. There are set amounts and once you hit that amount there are no more.

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea that kinda blows hardcore. Unless there's still thugs to beat up then it's not too bad

[sethypants]

uhm. i rather stick to my spiderman 2.

[Alchemyst]

[socool]

Ultimate Spider-Man did the exact same thing.

[Rodrigo90]

So Spider-Man actually cleans up all the crime in NYC? No more crime? No wonder the cops are pissed at him! :p

[Benstamania]

Only 15 hours?

Wait, I'm OK with this. I've beaten grade A games like the Uncharted series in 8 or less... So..

[Benstamania]

Also, how many of those infinite crimes or whatever would be the same? How many car thefts would we have to stop? Getting balloons for little kids in SM2 every couple of minutes got annoying. Quick.

I don't know about anyone else but I honestly grow tired of "never ending" games. Unless they're games like Fallout or Skyrim...Or pretty much any RPG done by Bethesda.. And a Spidey movie tie in game will never be that open/creative.

[demonfire]

Seriously did no one read the achievements/trophies? It clearly has plenty of them for"stop all car chases" and "return all escapees."

[Benstamania]

I did not. No.

Achievement list has been updated with all spoiler achievements revealed:

BTW:
"Nattie" is actually Piranha.

[Spider-Aziz]

Pat and Alchemyst assumed the story would be 8-12 hours long, so I think about 10 hours for story and 5 hours for everything else is pretty reasonable

As far as balloon missions go in SM2
KF8yxerAtZM

Much as it hurts me to say it, no previous game should be the blueprint for how Spider-Man games should be like, SM2 has the blueprint for swinging, and I still look forward to another game with wallbouncing attacks USM style, mixed with BAA/BAC combat style, or how should I say it? What Nathan said

[demonfire]

Bahahahaha.

Welcome to the Hype Demonfire. I hope that one comment was worth becoming a member for :P

Yes, yes it was. Also I've been reading the board, but wasn't a member.
Petty crimes like mugging might be randomly generated bc there's an achievement for stopping one, but not one for stop all muggings.

[Spider-Aziz]

Yeah, sorry to not say this
Welcome aboard

[demonfire]

No problem man glad to be a member.
Also a funny thread that I found to be a fail on gamespot I believe it was, said that a flaw in the ASM game was the single button for attacking other than dodging. It's funny bc Batman AC was the same way X attacked B stunned which in this case shoots webs (prior to a combo being built up then it's an insta take-down), and Y dodged/countered. The guy was an idiot in my opinion.

[Spider-Aziz]

Kind of complaints to make me scream

[demonfire]

I lol'd bc I think he went on to say something about Batman AC somewhere later on in the post about how it was better. Don't get be wrong AC was fun, but as long as Spidey has the semi-lock on that AC had then the combat will be amazing in this game.

Going by the 3DS demo, the combat is very similar and imo, just as fun. I think AA's and AC's combat is a little deeper but then again Bats has years more experience compared to Spidey and probably should be. Also the 3DS demo starts you off at the bottom and we all know we will be able to upgrade Spideys fighting moves over the course of the game. I think the combat will be one of this games strong points. Id be surprised if reviewers knock it.

[Spider-Aziz]

This gives me the desire to pop AA back in once more
But I need to go through Oblivion first

[demonfire]

I'm hoping to see more and more insane acrobatic combat the more he levels up, personally the thing i didn't like about AC was I never used anything I bought for level ups which is why I'm glad this game looks a little bit more RPGish in that manner. Meaning more strength more combos ect.

It's the reverse version that he wore in Atlantis.

[forgot10]

I like that new suit.

[Rose]

I like the new suit but I would have preferred the white one. I am starting to get the feeling they are planning to release a costume pack at some point as dlc labeled "classics" or "originals" or something like that.

Actually...that would be pretty sweet. I would definitely buy it if they released all classic/vintage costumes or the normal version of the ones that we've already seen. (Normal Scarlet Spider as opposed to Kaine suit, Normal Future Foundation as opposed to the reverse one above, etc.)

I'm still hoping that they release a large costume pack with EVERY costume that was seen in SD and EoT, including the default suits found in those games. If they did release one for like 5 bucks, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Maybe even for 10...

[jacobed]

I like that they're going out of the box for these suits but why do they have choose ones that are black. Way too many black suits.

[socool]

I like that they're going out of the box for these suits but why do they have choose ones that are black. Way too many black suits.

Agreed. I'm hoping the next ones are much more colorful and fun. I get so depressed looking at the costume list. The only one with any color is the Kaine suit...

[UltimateWebhead]

I agree that there are too many black/white suits but I'm really diggin the inverted FF suit. It's the best black one yet.

[Alchemyst]

New suit:

ugh.

Looks like I called it

[Spider-Aziz]

I like it, if there is an option with it to reverse colors it would be awesome

[Benstamania]

I'm just glad we got the Scarlet Spider costume.

[Spider-Aziz]

Here's hoping we get the original Scarlet-Spider costume, with the hoodie

[ProjectPat2280]

I'm just glad we got the Scarlet Spider costume.

We didn't tho. We got some bootleg ass version of it. Classic or bust.

[Benstamania]

... Eh? We got Kains new Scarlet Spider suit.

[socool]

... Eh? We got Kains new Scarlet Spider suit.

He knows. He only wants the Ben Reily one.

It's the costume Benst wanted, now he has it
Don't spoil the party

Spoilers with Gwen and Spidey from the game
fKDnG-onXas&feature=plcp

Pause menu looks ok, but does that mean a scene cannot be skipped? Or press X like the PS1 games?

[jacobed]

You'll probably be able to skip them after you've seen them

[Spider-Aziz]

That's the flaw of MK games, I hate when stuff like that is imported

[jacobed]

Why would want to skip a cutscene if you've never seen it.

[Benstamania]

Well... In MK you CANT skip the cut scenes... Even if you've seen them.

[Jick09]

Hummm, yes you can. At least in the PS3 version.
The second time I played the story mode, I skipped many of the cutscenes.

[Rose]

Hummm, yes you can. At least in the PS3 version.
The second time I played the story mode, I skipped many of the cutscenes.

How is the game on a second play? Still fun or does it get kind of stale the second time?

[Jick09]

MK? Well, it's still a fighting game, but with cutscenes and a little harder, since sometimes you have to battle two foes in one fight using only one fighter, one that you might not be very good with. Yeah, it's fun if you like the gameplay, like I do.

But once you finish its good story mode, there's not much flavor to it. That's when you go to Versus Mode and the Challenge Tower.

[Benstamania]

Hummm, yes you can. At least in the PS3 version.
The second time I played the story mode, I skipped many of the cutscenes.

Eh? I can't skip the cut scenes and I have the PS3 version...

[Havok83]

Why would want to skip a cutscene if you've never seen it.
Some people dont care for story and want to go straight into gameplay. I hate unskipptable cutscenes myself but alot of times its a design trick the developers use to mask loading times

[Jick09]

Eh? I can't skip the cut scenes and I have the PS3 version...But did you beat the game? You can only skip it after you beat it once. And even then it takes some seconds to skip.

[jacobed]

I just got the game, I'm very excited

[ProjectPat2280]

I just got the game, I'm very excited

Nice dude. Where from?

[Alchemyst]

I want the game NOW

[Benstamania]

But did you beat the game? You can only skip it after you beat it once. And even then it takes some seconds to skip.

I beat it on the 360 when I had it... Unless they patched in the ability to skip it.

Anyway... Soon... The game hits very soon!

[Alchemyst]

Can't wait to be sick on Tuesday and have no choice but to go to gamestop and pick up my copy and dodge work.

[Benstamania]

I work 3 to 9..However EB is about a 10 feet away from Sears... Sooooo.

My copy shipped from Amazon. Estimated Tuesday arrival. If only it came early....

[Lando81]

Sounds like reviews drop Tuesday morning. Everything looks EXTREMELY promising but I'll hold out until I see GiantBomb and IGN's reviews.

[demonfire]

IGN really? That's the worst place to look.

[jacobed]

So far the game is pretty fantastic. The story so far is pretty good and I'm liking where its heading. The visuals for the most part are great, the details on Spider-Man's suit is great. Spidey's animations are fantastic, very fluid, acrobatic and you can see the mexican wrestler inspiration. I love Sam Reigel as Spider-Man, he reminds me of Josh Keaton but there are a few parts here where he gets pretty emotional and he pulls it off brilliantly. Now onto the gamplay, I love it. Just about every Spider-Man game, I never really liked the combat but here it is very fun. It's kind of like Batman's but not as polished and refined but its more polished than Captain America. It finds this middle ground where I wish it was a tiny bit better but at the same time I love it especially once you're able to do the signature moves because they always look cool. The swinging reminded me alot of Ultimate Spider-Man's swinging mechanics and its very fun to swing around New York. Web Rush, well web rush is amazing. You'll never want another Spider-Man game without it. Swinging is very fun but there is something about web rushing through New York Street level that is just awesome. It's so fast, and fluid. I'm not really sure what else to say but I can answer questions.

any technical issues? Screen tearing, lag, texture pop in, etc?

Also how challenging is it? Is it super easy, super hard, nice balance?

How is the overall voice acting?

Are side quests varied or do they seem to repeat a lot?

Thats all I can think of right now :yay:

[jacobed]

I had a finnicky camera once but it snapped out of it right away. Screen tearing hasn't been noticable but I never really notice that. No lag and texture pop in is no more or less than any other free roaming game. It's been pretty easy so far I'd compare it to Arkham City. However you found that game difficulty wise I think you'd think the same for this one. I find the voice acting to be pretty damn good for the most part espeically Reigel as I mentioned before, it is a little weird not having the movie actors as the voices but its not that big of a deal. There doesn't seem to be a huge variety of side missions but there is a lot of them. I do love being able to web strike straight to comic books and I forgot to mention that the game is very spoilerific for the movie. So if you don't want to find out what happens to the characters from the movie, wait a week before you play the game.

[Lando81]

IGN really? That's the worst place to look.

Why? Because their opinions aren't yours? That's the point of multiple reviews. To get different viewpoints.

[demonfire]

No bc their opinion is "This isn't CoD? Automatic 7.5 at best." Seriously though IGN is biased and they have a known deal with Activision. IGN is owned by Rupert Murdoch who also has a has claim in Activision. So seriously their opinions are bought not real. Here's a thread about it http://community.us.playstation.com/thread/3479091?start=0&tstart=0

As someone with friends who work and review games for a living, I can tell you that NO ONE, whether it be IGN, GameSpot, Giant Bomb, GamesRadar, Game Informer, etc; has been "bought off". It's something that's frowned upon by all parties involved. It's a shame you think so and shows exactly how much you know about the games industry. :doh:

[demonfire]

There's absolutely no proof that IGN is COMMANDED by Murdoch to give Activision games high scores. Game reviewiers are OBJECTIVE. You know why CoD scores high every year? Because it's good! That doesn't mean YOU have to like it. And does it mean the reviewer was bought? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Excuse me? Thanks for the insult, I was just trying to show you that what you think is WRONG. Anyone can write reviews, but the people who are paid to write them are paid for one reason. They're good at it!
(PS. If you really write reviews, you may want to learn the difference between you're and your. Especially if you want to make a living doing so. :whatever: )

[demonfire]

GOOD? do you know what good means?! innovation not recycled crap and you're clearly a CoD fanboy I've played CoD and liked it then I played the next game and was like wow Deja Vu and then from every game onwards I've felt the same way and I know TONS of people who are starting to hate CoD bc they say it's stagnated and I completely agree. Cearly a guy who says CoD deserves its rating shouldn't be allowed near a computer. I know the difference between your and you're just typing fast. Also not everyone who gets paid for it is good, corporate politicking is everywhere if you know what you're looking for. Also before you say I'm wrong please provide facts not "my friend says this."

And just to point out I am no Call of Duty fanboy. I don't like FPS's in general CoD or otherwise. I just happen to be able to realize that just because I don't care for a game or because the game doesn't do anything new does not make the game bad.

[ProjectPat2280]

Wrong again. CoD is a well made game. Period. There is no debate here. I personally hate the series but i recognize it's a well developed title. Every title doesnt have to reinvent the wheel. You're in over your head here bro guy.

[Lando81]

Good should mean change or improvement which other than visually there really have been none for CoD.

From Dictionary.com
Good: satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree.
Good: of high quality

You really should have quit while you were at least somewhere close to being ahead.

Long time Pat! Have we traded GamerTags?

Dude no idea. If IIII 47 IIII is on ur friends list then I think we're golden.

[demonfire]

All I have to say is I generally view 95% of reviews as flawed bc they list what the author didn't like and call it a negative while they should focus on facts. Examples glitches screen tearing texture pop ins, not crap like the game has a bad camera, bad story, ect. Lando eat the same food every day the exact same way and tell me in a year you don't want it a different way bc that's what CoD is doing.

That was a dispute between the review team and new management in charge of advertising. This sums it up nicely: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/116360-Jeff-Gerstmann-Explains-His-Departure-From-Gamespot

The reviewers themselves never see any money from game companies paying for advertising.

[demonfire]

Also a bad story is a subjective thing bc IGN said that Dragon's Dogma had a bad story and my thoughts were well she didn't understand it.

Well then they needed to be more clear or something, a bad story isn't exactly what the story is trying to tell, but how the story is told. If someone has an awesome story for a game, but does a poor job of explaining it or getting that player engaged then its a bad story. I played and beat Dragons Dogma, the story wasn't its strong suit and it could have been if it was told in a better way.

[demonfire]

You clearly never played the game bc the ending of the game was mind blowing and completely impossible to predict and there are debates over the ending so yeah I'd say so. Also you never actually answered the fact that a bad story is an opinion. So clearly that should be left out in some cases, some such as Quantum Theory that really had no story or back story then yes I could agree. If the reviewer had've said a boring (at first) or slow main campaign then yes I may have agreed, but she said bad, which is completely different.

Still you have to admit the post-game story was really cool and unexpected.

[Lando81]

Ok here's one for you for Shattered Dimensions it said Noir was the worst part of the game. Meaning weakest and most out of place.

[demonfire]

Can we get a mod to ban this troll? He's clearly derailed the conversation...

Takes two to derail a thread. Also I'll agree to disagree if you'll just drop it bc you're not going to change my mind and I'm not going to change yours so I'm dropping it, but only if you do too.
Anyway I'm still bothered by the whole release 1 costume a week rumor I'm hearing bc if true then we have to wait 6 weeks after launch to get all 10 suits.

[spideyboy_1111]

Can you both just simmer? Some sites/magazines typically lean one way vs another. reviews are just that... Reviews. One persons opinion and everyone has different tastes. the reason they even exist in large quantity is so you have options. Find a writer that typically shares your taste and stick with them

[forgot10]

Still you have to admit the post-game story was really cool and unexpected.

Yea it was awesome, but throughout the whole game the story and the characters aren't really fleshed out or explained well. Anyways on to Spider-Man, I really hope my game store has this tomorrow dreading if I call and they tell me it's not in yet.

I would like to point out there seems to be some confusion as to whether it is one a week or multiple per week. At least from what I have heard since the news broke.

[demonfire]

I'm hoping it's multiple would be lame if it were only 1 per week. Also I hope the tokens are randomly placed in one of X amount of places instead of it being in the same place on everyone's game, so players would have to look around for it.

I see nothing wrong with putting them in a set place. That way those that want to just look it up can do that while those who want to hunt it down can do that by just not looking it up.

[demonfire]

I read somewhere it was random, but that might not mean for everyone's game. Also any guesses on the next revealed suit?

[Rose]

I read somewhere it was random, but that might not mean for everyone's game. Also any guesses on the next revealed suit?

I am hoping for Miles Morales' suit. I doubt it will be anything like white FF or original symbiote costume since I can't picture them having a suit that is just a different version of one of the alts they already have.

[demonfire]

His suit is cool I agree I just hope they move away from White and Black for the remaining ones.

[BrollySupersj]

So the Kaine Scarlet Spider costume made it in the game? Awesome. That is one of my favorites. Black and red are my two favorite colors.:woot:

[Spider-Aziz]

Why would want to skip a cutscene if you've never seen it.Mood
Usually I keep the cutscenes in first gameplay, there are times they get too long and dragging I don't bother, especially if flashbacks to things from movie or played earlier

Well... In MK you CANT skip the cut scenes... Even if you've seen them.Only in MK vs DCU

So the Kaine Scarlet Spider costume made it in the game? Awesome. That is one of my favorites. Black and red are my two favorite colors.:woot:I prefer blue, but those two come close to equals

[demonfire]

Still sad about no classic FF spidey suit, mainly bc of the fact a lot of the suits are black with little white. I wish that the FF suit was normal so it would be almost all white with some black. Sorry I know that that has nothing to do with the above posts.

[Jericho]

So... is anybody's Gamestop doing the midnight sale tonight? None of mine are, so it's going to be a Tuesday morning pick-up.

[Spider-Aziz]

Not me
I hope the PC disc contains some stuff kept for DLC on consoles

BTW Jericho, I didn't need that costume to bridge this one to my favorite, was reminded by it since day 1 ;)

My Gamestops are not promoting TASM at all. No posters, no preorder display boxes, no sign of it coming out. Spiderman 2 was another story.

I'm debating trading in LA Noire. I haven't finished it. I'm currently in Vice. Not sure it's worth finishing.

[Havok83]

The costumes are DLC? Is it free or paid? Once a week sucks. Another reason not to get this day one. I think its a dumb decision on Activision's part that might hurt its initial sales

IA. Im playing MW3 right now and I havent enoyed any CoD game since 4 back in 2007 and I have to say this is a good game. It deserves its high scores

Sadly TASM isn't a triple A game which is the only thing my gamestop does midnight releases for.

Prototype 2 did the same thing. It's actually a good way to keep you coming back.

[Havok83]

Not to me. Actual gameplay content keeps me coming back. Getting the chance to replay the game with a new look adds little replay value. I hate when Capcom does that as well. I think if they are already done, just make them all available from start, whether its free or paid. Too many games to play and too little time. I dont have tmie to go back just for a costume and the developers lose out on my potential money that way

The web swinging becomes tedious after the first few go's.

How many of those suits are in the game? Beside the one without the belt and the one with it?

[Havok83]

Somebody said New York is lifeless...well what does he expect, a party?

Its possible to make an open world game that doesnt feel lifeless and its been done before. GTA IV for example is the closest thing to what one would expect that for a NYC based game.

[Rose]

How many of those suits are in the game? Beside the one without the belt and the one with it?

Technically all of them. They aren't adding the costumes just the logos to unlock them

But by terms of naturally unlockable without logos we have 4 total. Default, default without belt, cross species, and SM3 black suit.

Sorry for not saying disc
How many of those costumes are not dlcs? Which ones?

As said. Default, default without belt, cross species, and SM3 Black. The rest have to be unlocked with the logos.

Dee just confirmed emblems will unlock 1 costume per week. You have to find the emblems and take a picture of them in game.

I am not sure if easily accessible is a good phrase here. The SM3 black suit is unlocked by 100%ing the game. All the other black suits are tied to emblems

Forgot about that
It better have some special qualities about it, don't want another one like USM, nothing but a black suit

[Rose]

So now that we likely know the final costume (other than the 50th anniversary one we haven't seen) is going to be the old trilogy costume what is your favorite of the various costumes?

[UltimateWebhead]

Its possible to make an open world game that doesnt feel lifeless and its been done before. GTA IV for example is the closest thing to what one would expect that for a NYC based game.

It's easier to make that experience happen with GTA. Because that entire game with maybe one exception, takes place on the ground. You are either running around town or doing maybe 100 mph at the most in tight areas...it's very feasible to render lots of detail and more people/cars/etc. without losing framerates and causing glitches/screen tearing. Spidey on the other hand, one of the fastest and most agile characters, spends most of his time above the streets, swinging up to speeds of 160 mph and web rushing at speeds of 600 mph. I'd rather have smoother frame rates during those activities than more peds walking around. I guess we'll have to wait until the next gen of consoles before we start getting more environmental filler when it comes to a Spidey game.

Awesome! I've always loved the Big Time suit. And it looks like they got the coloring correct this go around.

Paid or free?

[Rose]

Paid or free?

they have always been free. These are the natural costumes in the game.

[forgot10]

OK here are my impressions after finishing the first mission and swinging around the city for a while.

Graphics are pretty damn good, didn't notice tearing or framerate problems yet, the indoor environment that I was in looked great and Spideys character model is amazing.

Combat although not as fluid as Batmans is fun and the animations and finishers he pulls off are awesome. Looks like there are many upgrades that can make the system even better, with the ability to web strike and bounce from enemies ala Web of Shadows.

Sound is good, with all of the combat and swinigng sounds giving a satisfying punch. Voice acting is superb, Sam Riegel is the man as Peter.

Onto locomotion, I have no idea why I was dreading the web swinging, combining swinging with webrush is freaking crazy. No Spider-Man game can be without webrush from now on. All I have to say is don't listen to everyone else's opinions, play it for yourself and judge like that.

Story also seems really interesting, like where they are going with it and hope it can keep up.

Ask me any questions and I'll try and answer to the best of my abilities.

Also I don't think that this has been mentioned before, but if you are on top of a car and there is a row of cars behind them, you can hop from car to car just by holding the left stick it looks awesome.

[Nathan]

Where are the good costumes? :argh:

[Havok83]

Then what's this I hear about them being DLC released weekly? Naturally that's where the confusion and question stems from

[socool]

There will be weekly updates that add a spider symbol to the city which, once found and photographed, unlocks an outfit. They are free updates and act the same as a normal update/patch for any other game. The first spider symbol unlocks the Kaine suit.

[Spider-Aziz]

Oh....

That's a bit disappointing. I was expecting a special suit design to commemorate the 50th anniversary. Not just a hat.

[ProjectPat2280]

Hope we get some more costumes down the road as DLC. I pretty much hate every outfit thats been announced. Oh well, the more i see of the ASM suit the more i like it. Flash back 3 months ago and i would of been really upset.

[demonfire]

Probably 6 weeks from now assuming the 50th anniversary doesn't count as a costume, since we have 6 costumes that can't be unlocked without the updates.

[Rose]

Thanks! When will the final update occur?

5 weeks after release

there are 10 costumes total in game

Default
Default without belt
SM3 Black
Cross species
and Spidey in party hat

are all naturally in game

so 1 a week for the other 5.

[Nathan]

They showed a few good costumes

I repeat, where are the good costumes? So far we have a toggle belt option, a hybrid Spider-Man that should have been the six armed Man-Spider instead, 4 black costumes and the new Scarlet Spider.

Classic Spider-Man should have been like one of the very announced. But seeing as we have Big Time and Future Foundation Spidey, I'm confident that we'll see all the previous costumes from Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time as well. No reason not to put them into the game. It's just disappointing when they announce the lamest costumes of the bunch first.

i think for the most part, all the costumes have been "movie-a-rized" versions of comic suits... I don't really expect any 110% accurate comic costumes... like his classic red/blue or symbiote

[Nathan]

If Arkham City can have a Bruce Timm's Animated Batman skin, than this can have Spider-Man's classic red and blues.

arkham city isn't a batman movie game...

[Orion Paximus]

i've posted like 3 reviews in the other thread FYI

[Nathan]

No, but we can also say that the whole look of the Arkham game goes for a less comic booky, more serious and "movie-a-rized" design. Just look at Harley Quinn and Robin.

I simply think not having classic costumes in the game, because it's a Movie-based game, is a silly reason. But if you want a more appropriate comparison, here's classic Wolverine from the Wolverine Origin tie-in game.

im not saying it can't be done... or shouldn't. just saying that seems to be what they're doing. So wouldn't get my hopes up about it.

Then repost them here. This should be the only thread discussing the game as this is the games section of this board.

[Spider-Aziz]

But we are given a pretty good collection so far, only bad costume is the mutation one, and it's appropriate to insert it here with the theme of the game

arkham city isn't a batman movie game...But it showed a costume version in another media

Hey forgot10, thanks for the post!

question:

I'm getting the game tomorrow and i want to know what exactly (be very specific please) do i need to do to stop from spoiling the movie for myself while playing the game? What scene(s) do I need to skip/plug my ears and close my eyes during near the beginning of the game?

I'm planning on just webslinging around and grabbing collectables around the city for the most part until the movie comes out because I don't want to ruin the movie for myself...

Any scene involving Connors, the start scene, genetic mutation stuff
Watch the movie first, and spare yourself the torture of spoiling a movie before watching it, or be forced to not fully enjoy a game for the purpose of not spoiling the film

First scene contains spoiler about Lizard in the movie and why Gwen and the experiments do not agree

fricking frick! Is there chatter about spoiler stuff during the actual gameplay that could ruin the movie, or is it just cut scene stuff?

I really want to play this damn game :cmad:

What Spider-Aziz said, this game pretty much spoils a bunch of stuff, some of it is minor. It just depends on what you don't mind getting spoiled. The beginning doesn't give too many heavy spoilers and I would suggest if you do decide to play it before the movie that once you get to the city you play no more story missions. Problem is the collectables don't start until you get to some pretty big spoilers. So basically I suggest to watch the movie first then the game.

[Jick09]

Agreed
Was there a need to put that one line in spoiler tag:huh:
The spoiler was meant to hide the picture, because it's big and it takes a lot of page space if I simply repost it. The spoiler for the other post was an accident.

So the spoilers go deeper than the fact that Spider-Man defeats the Lizard and saves the day?

Launch Trailer (http://bcove.me/yps6cs12)

[Mario_Galaxy]

Hell, the trailers for the movie are doing just fine at spoiling the film. Today I saw three different commercials showcasing different scenes, some with some rather pivotal plot points.

Also these costumes are painfully boring, other than Kaine and the FF and Big Time suits. The alien suit is really the only case where black as the dominant color works for Spidey. I want color, dammit.
