The Amazing Spider-Man Amazing Spidey Video Game Thread. - Part 5

[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?

Bah, all games are button mashers

In my opinion the best Spidey voice will always be Rino Romano, from the PS1 Spider-Man games and the Spider-Man: Unlimited TV Series.

He's one of the best 3 imo, maybe the one I say most if asked who's the Spider-Man voice now

Tobey didn't really have a good Spider-Man voice, imo. It's too monotone for Spider-Man. When I think of Spider-Man's voice, I expect something with energy and a kick to it, like Josh Keaton and Rino Romano's Spider-Man voice.

Although, Tobey's voice did work for a Spider-Man who doesn't quip.

He quipped in all 8 things he was a Spidey voice in

He use to be my fav. then Josh Keaton came along

I love how Josh sounds, but I'm still with Rino

Dan Gilvezan will ALWAYS be the only voice of Spider-Man for me

This one for me

The only game I hated Toby in was Spider-Man 3, but that game was a travesty. In my opinion the best Spidey voice will always be Rino Romano, from the PS1 Spider-Man games and the Spider-Man: Unlimited TV Series.

Agreed. I thought SM3 was overall a really bad game, so I don't blame it all on Tobey, since I liked his voice acting in the second game.

I really wish for Rino Romano's return, someday. I'm honestly getting tired of Josh Keaton for some reason.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I'm honestly getting tired of Josh Keaton for some reason.

Huh? But he only voiced him in one cartoon and two games

 

[Jick]

That's quite a lot. He voiced Peter in all of the episodes, plus MvC3.

I just don't want him to be the main guy to voice Spidey whenever a new product is coming out. He is great, but there are other great people, too.

I'm happy Drake Bell will do the voice for the next Spidey in the TV. Let's see how he goes.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Forgot about his MvC3 act, wish they got the one from the 2D games to do his role again

I hope Drake doesn't disappoint

 

[Spider-Man101]

Yeah, he does a great job, but I hope he's not the go-to guy now. And yeah Drake Bell works for some reason.

 

[Bats123]

I wonder if the Mark of the Spider-Man thing is for the videogame...

 

[UltimateWebhead]

Bah, all games are button mashers

No. It all comes down to the player. You can have a rich full gaming experience by taking advantage of all the combos, special moves, and other attacks available to you or you can simply hit the light-attack button over and over again. It looks incredibly stupid and it's certainly not fun that way. That's not how I like to play...I make strong use of all the options and make awesome combos.

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Josh Keaton could be like Kevin Conroy, occassionally voicing the character in some new projects, while still letting other VAs have their chance in others.

I'm with you there, that's why I never liked the "Button Masher" complaint, it woprks for one game and completely ignored in others. Easily one of the dumbest about any game

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

Yeah, but it's a ***** remembering all the combos, that's why it becomes a button masher. I don't want to check my combolist in middle of a fight.

The Arkham combat is good because it invests in the main moves rather than in a million extra combos. You don't have to remember many combos, yet you can do cool moves just by timing your basic moves right. Of course there's also special combos, but they have a purpose and aren't hard to remember either! "Press triangle + O at the same time for a special takedown" and so on.

in button masher games like Spider-man 3 you have oh so many combos, but it's not like your gonna remember them, after a while you just button mash your way through fights, and no matter what kind of flips or tricks spider-man does to hit his enemies, in the end they are just punching bags. In arkham games you feel more interactive with the enemies and it feels more likea real fight, the moves he does have a purpose. In spiderman it doesn't matter if you do super combo #4 or #13 cause there is no purpose and no tactical advantage with either one, that's not real fighting...

I agree with you about having to remember a ton of button combos to pull off an array of moves. That certainly can get in the way for making smooth transitions and what not. It's still up to the player to make things happen regardless. That's how I play though...I will make it a point to remember everything and study them to make sure I have them at my fingertips whenever I feel the need to whip off that particular move. If you don't...that's fine, but you're not taking full advantage of the game.

I think the combat in Arkhma City is both deep, realistic and fun. It's very easy to string together awesome combos with out having to remember too much in the way of button combinations. Again, I do the same thing with this game as I do others. I remember all my attack combos and can whip out anything I want at any time cause it's all under my fingers...muscle memory.

That being said I have watched numerous videos on youtube with people playing AC. There are morons out there that play AC just by button mashing. It looks ridiculously stupid. All they do is keep mashing the attack button and occasionally hit the counter attack. They never use any special moves or gadgets. At times bats is just whiffing at the air and it looks so dumb. Just because AC has this great combat mechanic doesn't mean that people always use it properly. It's really sad to watch them waste the game playing with horrible mashing garbage. But again, it's all up to the player to make things happen.

I hope this is a trailer showing the depth of the combat or some other mechanics, like the Web Rush thingy. But I'll bet we get a villain reveal.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Why not keep an eye on Beenox or HeroHQ? I hate IGN when it comes to video games

I agree with you Aziz but IGN is much more popular. More people pay IGN's site a visit than Beenox/HeroHQ...unless you're a Spidey fan, there's a good chance you're not gonna go to those two websites.

And I am sure they have a good reason for bringing this 'big' reveal to IGN.

Guess I'll hate them in some of their reviews

They really do suck. Can't spell ignorant without IGN.

Same goes for sign =p
The IGNorant thing is the comment I see on every video review they publish on youtube

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.

 

[Spider-Vader]

So it's pretty much Andrew voicing the role of Spidey in TAS game?? As long as he gives a passion filled performance much like Keaton, it'll be good.

For a second, I thought you meant Michael Keaton & I was going to say 'UGH...NO! He was such a boring Batman!'. But then I remembered Josh.

Hahaha! From his work in TSSM, SD & EoT, Josh Keaton is my fav Spidey voice actor.

Wauw... not really what I expected, but still kind of cool I guess
