The Amazing Spider-Man Amazing Spidey Video Game Thread. - Part 9

Okay, so this is hilarious and kind of pathetic. Our best and only real look at web swinging in this game now comes from a 22-second Hardee's contest commercial on their YouTube channel...

Damn, that was sweet. The swinging looks like such a rush. The close-up camera that follows Spidey works wonders, I'd say.

 

[Arun1910]

Wow. Talk about **** marketing!

 

[AME]

That looked freakishly awesome! Thanks a lot for the video!
I really like how the camera emerges you more into the slinging instead of treating you like a spectator way back in a helicopter.
Got say... that little piece made me more excited than the last trailer they gave us...
Time for Nickleback's Hero

At some points in the Hardees video it looks like his web doesnt even attach to buildings..

 

[SpiderMarvelite]

Well I saw them touch the buildings.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

That was clearly unfinished, which would probably be why we haven't gotten more official web swinging footage from Beenox

 

[Arun1910]

Its nearly the end of May... I would of HOPED they would of got the web swinging down by now...

 

[TheWallCrawler]

Yeah, but that cannot be finished footage. Every bit of web swinging we have gotten before looks better than this. Maybe it's old footage?

anyway, if that is indeed finished web swinging, I'm truly dissapointed

But we haven't had any proper web swinging where we can say everything attaches to buildings. What i saw when spiderman is going towards the first pole, he shoots his web up and it magically attaches to something. I dont want that crap! I will be dissapointed if its like that if I am honest. It cant be that hard to just copy paste the old spiderman 3 swinging code?!

The first web he shoots attached to the pole, the pole is pretty high but looks shorter at one point which creates the illution of the web not sticking anywhere

Oh okay my bad! Even though the videos are in 720p they seem too sharp. They haven't been compressed properly :\. Oh well! We will see footage from E3 in around 2 weeks

I sure hope they added the speed boost option from spiderman 2. I asked Dee about that. Just pressing the swing button is not the same as building momentum on my own and then effortlessly swinging around corners and stuff. Imo the swing system is very important. It could make or break this game. Same goes for the web rush and TWIRLING around the city. If there are no other animations other than that I will be dissapointed. He should have all kinds of jumps and flip animations. Not the same animation done OVER and OVER.

I agree with you that there was a lot of twirling, but I did see a backflip in that trailer

 

[kbrooksgohan]

I saw it too. But I hope there's more than that one twirl.

Well duh it's spiderman. If it has a crap web swing system the whole game will be crap!

 

[Miles_Morales]

IMO, when you're swinging, the camera should pan out at least more than this, so you can survey the beautiful Manhattan they created for this game. But during combat, web rush, or just running around, then the camera should be over the shoulder. (like in AC)

EDIT: but they definitely nailed that feeling of vertigo with the wind and blur effects.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Finally a clip at good speed

 

[SpiderMarvelite]

So when we getting this new game trailer.
Tomorrow wasnt it?

 

[Web face]

Same. Out of like 10 web rushes there was 1 backflip. It would have been cool if we could spidey bounce of a wall and do a somersault then swing on a pole to propel himself up or forward. In the end of that web swinging vid he web rushed to a pole, but I am wondering if you can make him swing on the pole and keep going.

the Web Rush trailer WAS the new trailer, lol

 

[kbrooksgohan]

@Webface. Yeah that's what I'm hoping is in the finished game. Constantly spinning in the air is kinda lazy on beenox's part. That is if it's the ONLY move he does. Hopefully there's more too it.

 

[VenomSpawn]

Web swinging looks great. And the city/lighting looks amazing as well.

Excited to see some more at E3 to finally solidify a pre-order.

I already preordered. I was gonna wait til E3 but I figured I'm gonna get this game no matter what and after talking to the Gamestop employee and learned about the 'extra' preorder bonus material...I was sold.

 

[spida-man]

funny. Marc Webb said he chose Garfield cause of how he acted while eating a burger., a popular burger joint is doing promotions for the game XD

 

[UltimateWebhead]

You have got to be kidding.. pre alpha? We are one month before release they would at least be nearing the beta stage...

Pre alpha is VERY early development. I would expect pre alpha in around Jan. I would then expect alpha from March until around half the way through May. Then the Beta stage up too around 2nd week of June. Games normally go Gold 2 weeks before release.

Ok, but we don't know how far along the footage from the web rush trailer was/is in the development cycle. I'm guessing it was strewn together from various points in the build and some of it may have come from the GDC demo footage, especially the Rhino fight, the car chase with the thugs, both of those were mentioned in the demo footage. So that's stuff that comes from the middle of February. And the footage from that demo was put together before February so it probably is pre-alpha.
