@Strugler. How are is the controller vibration? Does it rumble often when you swing and move?

And too bad about the swinging. Also about the combat...is there a list of combos? And is web rush and swinging upgradeable? And how are the enemies? Varied or does it get button mashy?

 

[Superhero 101]

I just put down 5 bucks for pre-order at Gamestop!

 

[slimshady247]

I'm just going to buy it day of release rather than preordering as it's a little late for that. If it's good, that is.

 

[socool]

Also about the combat...is there a list of combos? And is web rush and swinging upgradeable?

I can already answer these.

1) There are no combos that you can control. They are randomly generated (ala Arkham Asylum/Ciy)

2) Web Rush has a few, swinging has none.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

Hmm....Idk how I feel about that. On one hand it kinda stops the whole button mash issue and on the other I think there could be a few ultimate moves etc. Then again there could be some definite combinations and we just need to "figure" them out.

Idk if it's a good or a bad thing. For a sequel I would like to see smarter ai and more of a variety of moves.

Thanks btw.

In all fairness, the only thing that brings this game down is the web swinging, everything else seems perfect. Tbh, the web swinging doesn't bother me, it looks fun. But the story, combat, graphics, voices, alt costumes(so far) web rush etc all make this game look really cool. Not to mention it's free roam! I can nearly guarantee that for the next spidey game(2014) the web swinging will be 100x better. Theyll take all the positives from this game and enhance them and improve/fix the negatives(web swinging)

 

[kbrooksgohan]

Tbh they could have gotten the webswinging right the first time imo.

I know. But sure it's all just trial and error. Too late to moan about it now because it's already been done. I'm sure they're gonna start going into development of ASM2 soon

 

[Web face]

I hope they listen to the fans feedback on the swinging. As long as they don't seem like whining *****es, I'm sure Beenox will.

 

[20glyphs]

I'm even kinda sad how basic the swinging mechanic is, I really hope they deliver more for TASM, maybe I'll cut them a little break since it's their first open-world game, and those can be pretty difficult.

Wasn't Spider-Man 2 Treyarch's first open world game? We should stop making excuses for all the Spidey developers. I'm still looking forward to this game, but it boggles my mind that no one has improved the swinging system since SM2. Heck, Treyarch themselves built that system and dumbed it down to a slower, less fun system in their next two games. Web of Shadows was the only other game to come close to the SM2 system in terms of speed and fun.

There have been way too many Spidey games since SM2 for me to accept waiting another year or two for the swinging system this series deserves. Beenox doesn't get a free pass from me just because this is their first open world game. They do so many other things well, but they need to nail the swinging, or at least come close.

Yep. I'm sure they'll listen to constructive criticism from fans and critics. Beenox are hardcore spidey fans after all. I do believe they put their heart and soul into these games.

Wow, you guys are really pretentious when it comes to the swinging. It looks fine. Wait until you play the game.

Did you watch any videos where the guy is letting go of the web line earlier? To me, it looks so much faster and cooler and totally throws the cloud swinging complaint out of the window for me.

 

[Spider-Dude23]

I personally don't have an issue with the web swinging. I still think it looks really fun and enjoyable.

 

[slimshady247]

Yeah, it looks great. I have no idea why anyone would go further than that in judging it considering none of you have played it yet.

 

[Web face]

Agreed. I really hoped they had some kind of vibration during web swinging because to me it is more about the feel of the swinging, rather than what it looks like when someone else is doing it.

 

[Lando81]

Yeah, this guy made it up.

Loeb never said that. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/06/19/the-boy-who-hated-ultimate-spider-man/

i think it make sit button mashing. ur just pressing one button over and over with the occasional dodge.counter attack.

on the other hand it only becomes button mashing depending on the player.

if the player isn't smart enough to learn the controls/combos and switch it up on their own obviously a game will become a button masher cause they will just keep pressing the same buttons instead of switching it up

 

[forgot10]

Oh for god's sake im tired of just seeing this subject and not interfere.

IT is true, what the Last_avenger from Marveltvnews said was true. I know the guy myself and he has no reason to lie nor bash anything marvel related (AND NO I AM NOT HIM, LIKE THAT STUPID BLEEDINGCOOL ARTICLE SUGGESTED, POSTING MY REAL NAME). Avengers EMH is as good as dead. Marvel is just trying to take down that website because its leaking real info and telling the truth, and time will prove it, just like when it proved Avengers assemble cartoon weeks before Marvel confirmed it.

Now back on topic. I played the game for 4 to 5 hours, and i think marveltvnews were a bit a generous, the game deserves a 7 no more, and you will see the reviews. My main problem is the swing. Sorry but its not good. and there is also a lot of screen tearing which hurts your eyes sometimes.

While the review praises the story, i find it a bit odd and some characters do some things that make no sense at all. the combat is beautiful and spudey's model is amazing. i was waiting for this game for a while and i'm a bit disappointed. one other annoyance, is the car chase missions, if you go into a car chase, the game goes to a loading screen, and then you do the chase and after you complete there is another loading screen, before you go back the area you were at before the chase.

believe me the reviews will not be very good for the game, as sad as that makes me.

Will see when reviews come out. Everyone is freaking out and calming down every page this thread. Relax guys, play it for yourselves and if you don't want to buy it to play it then wait for reviews and make an informed choice.

I know, that was the point I was making.

 

[spida-man]

anybody else notice that this exact pose can be done in the game?

 

[VenomSpawn]

Did you notice that that picture is hanging on the wall above his computer in a newspaper article that says "movie of the year"?

 

[Marvel Spider]

It.....it is?

 

[socool]

It.....it is?

It is. If you go out of bounds or in the water, Spider-Man swings himself back onto the map and lands in that exact same pose with the exact same camera angle. It's pretty cool.

Wow. That's quite an eye you got there, lol. I skipped all the apt. scenes to avoid spoilers
