The Amazing Spider-Man Amazing Spidey Video Game Thread. - Part 7

Another previewer calling it a potential game of the year contender? Wow that's not bad!

Besides the classics, like Scarlet, Symbiote, Ben Reilly and others, I really liked the Big Time suit. It's one of the new era suits that I actually liked.
I don't care for the Iron Spider suit. Future Foundation is also cool.

I also like the Identity Crisis suits, like Dusk, Prodigy, Ricochet, Hornet and Negative Zone. It'd be even better if the suits had different attributes to them, like in the PS1 era.

Oooo yeah...I almost forgot about that suit. Big Time would be awesome. Plus it's a darker suit so it would look pretty cool during the stealth combat.

I would like to see the spider armor, FF suit, iron spider, Ben Reilly, Big Time, ultimate, and symbiote.
Idk if Kaines and the Ends of the Earth suits are a stretch, but that would be great if I could get those ones too

Kaines and EotE is not out of the realm of possibility. Beenox may include them, you never know. They've added new ones with each game, i.e. Poison, Last Stand, etc. and they're already including a first time villain in TASM...the Iguana. It's possible.

The only thing I REALLY want is a civilian Peter Parker skin. They had one in EoT and I really hope they have one here. I loved swinging around as Peter in USM.

I'll take this one too. Good choice. I bet Andrew Garfield will use this one too, lol.

On the costume skins, I'd like to see something that the other games didn't have, like Future Foundation, though Ben Rielly & Scarlett is a must, Symbiote and Iron Spider, and I'd like to see Kaine's new costume as a skin too. It be something new for a game. Same for Big Time.

Big Time was actually used in EoT but I'm all for it as well as Kaine's...it would be very cool.

Eh, I'm remaining positive about this game but I'm also taking the game of the year contender stuff with a grain of salt. I'm trying to not get wrapped up in the hype. But, yeah, that is certainly some good news that we have even more positive feedback about the demo. I really hope that all the positive stuff people are giving this game credit for actually sticks once the game releases and they are writing their actual reviews of the whole game.

Yeah that's true, I'm not taking that too seriously but it's definitely promising! A Spider-Man game might never get a GOTY award, but if it's as great as it seems, it may at least be up in Arkham Asylum quality.

There's chaos in this place!

Hey...chaos is fair

IMO, Bane, Ivy and Joker were those I didn't enjoy! However, Killer Croc was awesome and if Scarecrow counts as well, his stages were great and the highlights of the game!

I'll give you Bane and Joker as they felt like messing with any other Titan-induced thug in AA, but Ivy's battle was freaking awesome and the second best in the game(if you include all three Scarecrow battles as one). I enjoyed the difference Ivy's battle was because of how Rocksteady worked on the battles at the very last stage which they've mentioned many times.

Killer Croc was okay, but it wasn't really a battle if you ask me; I would love to see a real Batman vs Killer Croc fight in a third game.

Scarecrow's levels WERE the best out of all of them. They were just so, so, so awesome. When I first started the game, I failed the first level twice, but it was a good thing because I enjoyed those levels.

Regarding AC many people say the boss fights were much better and while I agree with that, I still think they were lacking a bit. However, the rest of the game makes up for it alot!

I don't think the fights with Freeze, Ra's and Joker were lacking in any way, imo. Plus, we had Clayface and those Riddler levels that were extremely impressive. Rocksteady pretty much made up for their mistakes in AA, but that's not saying AA is a bad game; AC is just miles better and that is saying something since AA was ****ing beast.

And, whenever I see someone say that AA is mediocre (and that even some SPIDEY games are better) I just don't know whether I should laugh or cry. OK, I laugh.

Laugh because it's a silly statement. Cry because they should know better.

I don't think Garfield is going to voice Spidey, I dunno, it seems strange that they are keeping quiet about it this long.

Take it for a huge grain of salt for what the source is, but Wikipedia has Andrew listed as being the voice of Peter Parker/Spider-Man for the game. But, as I said...a huge grain of salt on that one.

 

[Oscorp]

AC is definitely the overall better game over AA. The gameplay is improved greatly! However, there's some kind of charm that AA has that AC doesn't I must say. Hard to point at exactly what though.

Even if you don't feel that way toward it, it received a grand amount of silly compliments
Most overrated title of the past decade

I think they'll just use the skins/models from SMSD and EoT. They've recycled those models once already, so it stands to reason that they'll do it again. They'll probably retexture some of the costumes though but I'll still use them like crazy if they decide not to. If they choose a 616 classic spidey though, which model do you think they'll go with? Amazing from SMSD? the default amazing skin from EoT? Or the alternate ultimate red/blue costume fro SMSD? My money is on the Ultimate version, as it was the "cleanest" model and therefore the nicest looking in terms of asthetics.

The model in SD/EoT looks different from the one is TASM so they're not just gonna import the suits from those games. It would mess with the animations, it's probably less work to just redo them from the ground up.

Once again...I will laugh at this comment, but cry because you should know better.

Arkham Asylum made the player feel like Batman and a supehero in general as I've mentioned before. Before AA, when was the last game where we felt like we were a superhero? Spider-Man 2 to some, Hulk in Ultimate Destruction(I think that's what it was called, don't know) or Spider-Man for PS1/N64.

And what silly compliments? For being one of the best comic book games of all time? It's not silly when it's the truth. Arkham Asylum started many things on the right path that Arkham City finally delivered more into. Without AA, there would not have been an AC. Without AC, the idea that it brought to the table would have messed up the ideas for this new Spider-Man game.

One can not say AA is perfect after playing AC, but one can't say AA is only mediocre because it started something and started something big for Batman fans as Nolan did with Batman on film.

*looks at thread title*

Lots of Arkham talk in here. Weird.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Kevin Feige did say he wish he could bring in Batman to the Marvel universe...so in a way, we're doing it for him by bringing him up in yet another Spidey thread.

we wont be able to pick up cars???

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

30 Hours is most likely everything (story, side missions, events/challenges, collecting collectables). But that's still great time, it's very nice!

"Can't free roam with Peter but we do have one sequence where you are Peter Parker for some time."

"Yes! Pre-order bonuses are the coolest we've ever offered. I can't wait for the official announcement!"

"Yeah-You can keep playing in Manhattan at the end of the game,even control the time of day (a cool feature that was just added)"

"Can't remember what happens in Arkham but in ASM, Spider-Man uses his web at the last second to land safely (cool anim btw)"

"He can do a higher jump if you hold the jump button yes"

Some news.

That all sounds excellent. I'm pumped. I think we may have a winner on our hands this time. My fingers are crossed, but I'm starting to lose any reason to have them crossed.

 

[Thwip!]

Why would we?
.

well imagine gettin to lift a criminal's car as they try to get away. or catchin a car thrown by a villain

 

[socool]

EDIT: nevermind.

another

Of course, Spidey's webshooters flash red when he fires a web just like in the movie!

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Now that's detail. I was wondering about that.

 

[spideyguy16]

Crap, came in here to post this lol.

Thats what they said for AC and that was not the case for me.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Did you get all of the collectibles though?

 

[Spidey_62]

Lol, so no more jumping off of tall buildings comitting virtual suicide? Fun but it doesn't bother me as it adds to the immersion, like in Arkham City Batman's cape always spreads for a safe landing.

I mean, would Spidey or Bats just fall to their deaths like that? Heck no, it's little things like that which add to the experience. But it was always humerous, like Batman's falling animation from Dark Tomorrow. LOL.
