The Amazing Spider-Man Amazing Spidey Video Game Thread. - Part 10

Though i doubt it, i'd be great to remove that phone from the interface, it kind of nullifies the whole minimal approach they had with the HUD. Who needs a map anyway, in a Spidey game? Put it in the pause menu where it belongs

EDIT: heres a better idea. Have the phone act as that WayneTech-OPSAT-thing that was in AC. meaning that it showed the map, as well has profiles, unlocked collectibles, finished comic books, and so forth.

A magazine article said the mini-map could be toggled on and off, and a screenshot of the controls were posted on here a while back that showed that pressing up on the D-pad toggles the mini-map. I think this is perfect, as I like the mini-map frequently, but some times it's nice to turn it off. It's little decisions like this that are impressing me about this game.

really? if so than that's amazing. I usually dont use maps in open world games at all, unless i'm looking for collectibles. It makes me know the map better.

The guy playing the other demo, though you only saw it for a second, looked much better.

EDIT: Too late.. oops.

Andrew Garfield isn't voicing Spider-Man in the game featuring HIS Spider-Man? What the **** Beenox!?

I wouldn't put blame on Beenox. I'm sure they wanted him to do the voice work but maybe Sony wouldn't let him or the filming schedule wouldn't allow it.

I don't believe this got posted.

Actually it did. But it's a great video nonetheless.

Web swinging was very fluent very quick and smooth, had those effects like Spider-Man 2 with the blur from swinging.
Combat was pretty amazing with only one signature move I was able to execute

Sounds awesome man. Did you take any videos?

The web rush looks fantastic. The animations of Spidey look fantastic. The swinging looks fantastic. Did I mention the footage looks fantastic? lol. Too bad the combat video wasn't clearer but the animations looked pretty good from what we could see. Hopefully they are better than the punching animations in that Dee Brown interview video.

I agree with you.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

Wow. Once again, loving everything about this video, except for the demonstrator spamming the attack button, lol. The combat was so, alive

So you're changing back to supporting the combat now?

 

[UltimateWebhead]

lol I agree about the demonstrator. I don't want to sound like a *****e, but the player kinda sucks. even in the web swinging video.

I agree but in his defense it was his first time playing the game.

 

[Miles_Morales]

so you're changing back to supporting the combat now?

yes.

 

[Web face]

Yeah, I'm sure I wouldn't have done any better. I haven't played a Spidey game in ages, and I have barely even seen this new game.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

@VenomSpawn--Hey, I don't know if you remember this or not because it's from a post that was probably several months ago. For some reason it just popped into my head. There was a poster, I just cannot remember who it was, that promised you his left or right nut should Beenox include bonus suits in TASM. Whoever it was that said it, was adamant that Beenox wouldn't be allowed by Sony to include any bonus costumes and we'd only have the ability to use the movie suit. Ring a bell??

 

[UltimateWebhead]

yes.

Just checking. t:

Ha! Yeah. I'm sure the first time I start using the web rush I'm gonna look like an extremely drunk guy running a marathon.

 

[Web face]

Hahahaha. The swinging looks pretty good though. And seeing how the guy had a little trouble with it, it might feel a little rewarding to swing really fast and not hit any buildings.

Haha yes I remember this. Remember the poster too, we've become pretty good friends. He got banned from the forums back in December.

Gonna go mention this to him on Facebook and see what he thinks about it. t:

The thing that will make or break this game for me...at least in terms of combat is how FLUID it is in group situations and in one on ones. The boss battle critique sounds cringe worthy. I mean come on.....AC had boss battles but it wasn't cliche. They were all different. I hope the combat is fluid with practice or something. It took a while to get Arkham combat down but once we got the hang of it it was pretty awesome. The no targeting thing is probably going to be a problem as well. I think that is something spiderman games need in general. It's time they added targeting with webs and in combat. I want to control where I fire and who I'm going to attack first or go to next in general. This game is not off the hook for me yet. There are alot of variables....

The best part about the swinging is it seemed to have some real physics built into the engine. I like how it looks so far...can't wait to see more.

What was his name on SHH? I gotta know. It's driving me crazy lol.

Boss battles is one of the things that Beenox has done really well. If you've forgotten how fun they can be you should pop in SD and play some. And although there were just a few boss battles in EoT, they were epic. The Black Cat one was meh.

Beenox used a 'soft targeting' system for their combat in EoT and it actually worked really well. Also, remember that the web rush is a targeting system too that can be used during swinging as a navigational tool but also be used in combat to target specific foes.

personally i don't mind Spidey being voiced by someone other than Andrew, as long as it's Josh Keaton, though he told me himself he wasn't voicing Spidey, he could have been lying. after all before Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time came out i asked him if he was and both times he answered in a very slick way that implied "No" but without actually saying no.

 

[VenomSpawn]

What was his name on SHH? I gotta know. It's driving me crazy lol.

It was Spiderman6592. He returned a couple of times under different IPs (as TheLegendEnds and something else, I can't remember) but his accounts always got banned one way or another.

 

[spida-man]

what would make it interesting is this is the first game in the reboot series. in the original series Josh was suppose to voice Spidey for the first game but then they got the rights to use Tobey so Josh voiced Harry

 

[spida-man]

also i was lucky enough to hear a preview of the score for the game i'll see if i can post it here soon enough

Well I hope it's Josh as well. He's my favorite Spidey voice actor currently. And I wouldn't expect him to answer your question with anything other than a 'no' even if he was doing the voice work. I'm sure he was told to keep a lid on it.

lol. Oh yeah, I remember him. What'd he get banned for?

Please do! I'd love to hear it.

 

[VenomSpawn]

lol. Oh yeah, I remember him. What'd he get banned for?

It was a bunch of stuff. Kept getting into arguments, mostly with mods.

He's reading this thread and just informed me that I'm making him seem like a bigger ass hole than he was. He got banned for calling someone a dick on the batforums for insulting a newer user, and then he got permabanned for arguing with a mod about his punishment.

Exactly which further feeds my suspicious lol

I'm kinda bummed that it won't be Andrew because it's based on the movie Spidey being played by him. But if the VA ends up being Keaton...I will be totally accepting of that decision. He's awesome and proven himself several times over as a great voice for Spidey.
