The Amazing Spider-Man Amazing Spidey Video Game Thread. - Part 2

Yea I don't find it necessary either

 

[Spider-Aziz]

You find what unnecessary?

 

[Troy_Parker]

Another playable character.

 

[spida-man]

to me spidey should be the only playable character in a Spidey game. unless there is bonus extra stuff to unlock

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I don't think playing as another character is 110% necessary, but it would be really fun.

 

[Troy_Parker]

It would be fun.

If they are planning on introducing another character to play as, I hope the other character is integrated into the main story like Catwoman was in Arkham City, rather than just an option to play as someone else once the story ends.

Like Venom in USM the game as well.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I see. I wouldn't mind playing unlockable missions with another character, or plain game in the street, but they need to make playing as Spider-Man stick to more people than not as being fun and good

Same here. Not being able to play as Venom was Spider-Man 3's biggest failure IMO.

My friend told me there was a way to play as Venom.

It wasn't possible and I was sad.

You guys talking about the PS2/Wii/PSP version? Cause I heard playing as Venom was exclusive to that one alone

Go play Ultimate Spider-Man

 

[Oscorp]

I actually agree with you here

 

[Troy_Parker]

@Aziz: You couldn't play as Venom in any version of Spider-Man 3. Do you really think they'd have that as an exclusive for the WORST versions of that game?

There was the same rumor with SM2 the game, that if you went into the warehouse or something (where the last battle took place) after the game ends you'd be able to play as Doc Ock.

That's what I read before.
The NDS version of that game is the worst

Never played the arena in that game, is it the warehouse on that small island beside Manhattan?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ If I remember correctly, yes.

 

[Godzilla2014]

That was pretty fun, but also annoying. It was clearly unfinished, but they put it out anyway. Still it was more fun than SM3 New Goblin.

What do you mean by playing as Green Goblin being "clearly unfinished"?

Same here. Not being able to play as Venom was Spider-Man 3's biggest failure IMO.

Agreed. And not being able to play as Doctor Octopus was Spider-Man 2: The Game's biggest failure.

 

[Oscorp]

What!? You can't be serious about that. How is it the "biggest failure" exactly?

 

[Godzilla2014]

What!? You can't be serious about that. How is it the "biggest failure" exactly?

In which case? Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2 or Venom in Spider-Man 3? I've said before, I haven't played SM3, so failure might be the wrong word, but I did find that lack of a playable Venom to be disappointing.

In the case of SM2, one of my biggest problems with that game is the lack of unlockables, whether it be costumes or other playable characters.

 

[Oscorp]

But another playable character should only be considered a "bonus" if you ask me. No matter how much I love playing Catwoman in Arkham City, it shouldn't have been a minus if she wasn't included, because it's more a bonus than anything else. It's like when people complain about no multiplayer in games like God Of War (yes, I've read stupid complaints like that). In games like these, things like additional characters are only things that can make the game better. The lack of such characters wouldn't make a game worse.

Oh, I agree. I just though it was a missed opportunity.

 

[The Infernal]

The story part of the Green Goblin game seemed to trail off. It felt as though they hadn't finished that part.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

I read that one of the Beenox team members was pushing for Spider-Ham as a playable character. That would be hilarious.

You mean the lack of FMVs?

Exactly. If it's not there in the first place you don't really miss it. However given the opportunity to play as another character only heightens the experience.

I don't get the deal with him. I mean people mentoin him and everybody is all " L O L!!1!1" and I'm just like umm where's the funny? But whatever I guess

thats because it was basically thrown together at the last minute...

Josh Keaton said he was originally the voice for Spider-Man but then they got the rights to use Tobey Maguire so they just used Josh's audio for a Green Goblin 2/Harry story

 

[The Infernal]

Sorta. From what I remember (keeping in mind this was when the game came out lol) there was just really some lines of dialogue and it seemed to less of it by the end.

Oh that explains it then. Still SM1 was a good game and GG2 was fun to play as and he could even summon/dismount his glider at will.

I don't think that's the whole story. Harry Osborn/Green Goblin II's dialogue is clearly different from Spider-Man's, so they would have had to record new dialogue.

Yeah. It was really fun playing as Green Goblin, throwing a multitude of different Pumpkin Bombs at enemies (including Pumpkin Rockets!), using RazorBats, Turbo Running right through enemies, using the Goblin Glider to machine gun thugs to death, bombing the bastards, and firing Homing Blades at them.

There's a really funny glitch in Chase Through The Sewers: If you fly at Turbo Speed, you can phase right through the various closing doors, including the one at the end. There, you'll find the Shocker, simply standing there. You can even hit him if you want.
