Spider-Man: The Movie 3

[THWIP*]

The only reason i think they made USM was to test out the venom controls so they could have the basic control scheme to work with and improve upon. Why would you want to hi civilians lol? But i do like the idea of cops chasing after him, cause in the first movie there was that cop outside the burning building who said that he'd be there when he got back.

APPARENTLY, YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED 'HULK: UD'; ABUSING CIVILIANS IS THE BEST PART OF THE GAME. up:

My smart answer to the hitting civilians debate would be about how gratifying it would be to constantly bash Americans, but that would be a risky answer I suspect

In reality I was thinking more along the lines of GTA, where the more bad stuff you did the higher your wanted rating would go. This could be combined with some sort of failure rating, where for each mission you fail, the Bugle actually blames you for the incident in the first place.

Think about it, when things are going well, civilians would cry out praise, but when things are bad, they throw insults and doughnuts and stuff at you.

I think that something over and above SM2 needs to be added so that New York seems like a living city seething with all sorts of life.

Man, SM2 was near perfect. Treyarch can have no excuses for this one.

I think for each mission you fail, you should, y'know... FAIL it, and have to start over... Spider-Man's job is to save people, if he doesn't save them... why bother being Spider-Man... that's why Venom should be playable, for the destructive component (great fun in USM, btw)...

I do like the idea of lower scores getting you more insults though, but there still should be times where Spider-Man gets hated and it's not his fault... which, come to think of it, could make some interesting gameplay choices... save the kid or save your reputation? Take a hit to your wallet or a hit to your fanbase... good idea...

The only thing good about USM was the story and graphics. The voice the got for Spidey was annoying. God I hope they dont do that USM crap with SM3

yeah, im sure, especially since they dont hurt you...
or fight back

or do anything that is remotely interesting in response to you except scream and run into walls. Hitting civilians was also useless since it didnt raise the level of you threat meter, where imo, hitting civilians should have made it skyrocket.

drmick brings up a good point too. If you fail a mission, you shouldnt die, your reputation should just get thrashed.

But Spidey's Reputation is ALWAYS thrashed, even if he didn't do anything...

 

[AME]

for some it is, for some it isn't. Mr Jameson's just being a pain. He's lucky he has a newspaper to share his opinion. I think Spider-Man would be way better of without that Daily Bugle

 

[Matt Murdock]

actually, i think that the citizens know he isnt all that bad. If it wasnt for the bugle he'd really be a hero.

Before SHH re-arranged the forums a few weeks back, there was a decent USM vs SM2 thread, which got deleted in the change-over for whatever reason.

SM2 had far better controls, and a much bigger map. USM had a lot of nice ideas but it was hard to forgive the controls.

I was under impression controls were changed cos there might have been a PSP version, but no word on that so far. Those chases would make you throw your PSP against the wall with great force though.


Now onto SM3:

Wishlist:
PSP version
SM2 controls
SM2 city
More USM like chases (not too many)
Play as Sandman and Venom
Xbox/PS2 version as well as next-gen
Ability to hit civilians
Police being after Spidey (think Driver)
Less Photo/Pizza/etc missions
Black Spidey
Hidden comic costumes (like PS1 version)
More hidden tokens
Extras (GG, Doc OcK?)

Anything else?

Thought I'd quote myself to get back to original point:

Make a wish list for Spider-man 3!

Obviously the plot of the movie is the major bottleneck, but any good ideas that aren't movie-compatible can always go into the next comic-based game.

 

[AME]

No! please no sandman. please man

 

[XwolverineX]

Why would Sandman be playable??

Th' think that annoyed me about Venom was th' lack of swingin' and only jumpin'. I mean, he swings in th' COMICS!!

 

[Electro UK]

Ultimate Venom doesn't swing the the comics...

 

[XwolverineX]

Ultimate Venom doesn't swing the the comics...

WRONG, he actually DOES indeed swing.

 

[drmick]

More for the wish-list:

Online mode (think online races and huge free for all melees)

Design your own Spidey costume/Avatar (think City of HEroes but Spidey-specific)

 

[AME]

That's really "just" a wish. It's something that we'll never have. believe me.

 

[Mike]

Yeah, if developers wont let us change in and out of costume at will, we really wont get Online play and Create a Costume.

 

[Silverstein]

We don't need online mode. Why give us a useless feature when we could have better things instead?

 

[Matt Murdock]

I still want an animation that shows him changing into a different costume instead of just switching the costume in mid-air. I'd want to hear something like "Uh....im in mid-air....as much as i want to change now--I cant." or if hes on the street he could say "yeah, like im gonna change with all these people around."


this really should be a great game--They've given a level by level game a good shot, then they made an exceptional game with fantastic controls, then they experimented with controls for venom, and now its the third movie.

the spider-man game should be perfected this time round.

 

[Storyteller2]

If only they could combine the unlockables from the first game with the care in level design and boss battles with a mixture of the fighting controls from all the next gen games and the swinging mechanics of 2 with the swinging of usm. What i found was that the sm2 game swinging actually depended on the building essentially tilting and so the world changed around you. In usm everything stayed in place as opposed to you. In other words sm2 used a swining from spideys perspective while usm used one from the citizens perspective.

 

[Silverstein]

The only good thing about usm was the swinging, Spidey's random comments, and the ability to change costumes even into a Peter Parker costume.

Aside from that, the game was a major let down. If they base SM3 on anything, it should be SM2.

 

[Comfortador]

MORE chases?!? Why the holy hell would you want ANY chases?

Those chases were so bad in USM. The point of chasing someone is not knowing where they will be going, and actually chasing them.

In USM you had to know WHERE they were going, and possible go AHEAD of them...just to complete it. That is NOT a chase. that's just a pain in my ass.

The chases and the races need to GO. Those sucked.

 

[Matt Murdock]

Yeah thats true and in SM2, unless you were really good, then the helicopter chase at the bank was hard too.

chases are pointless unless they have a reallllllly good reason

and please, for the love of god, some cheat codes for costumes, comics, and w.e. theres gonna be






i dont wanna wast a hundred hours of stupid races to get a lame costume.

 

[AME]

just take SM2, add more cars, people (incl city noises). Add beter+realistic misions. I don't live in NY but I'm guessing thughs don't pick locks on a 50+ level building that often. They should also make the models (buildings, cars, regular people, bad people, spiderman etc) more realistic. This tiem I also want a better soundtrackfor the game. I like playing SM2 with the movie soundtrack... maybe they should just add spider-man's theme in the game or something like that. If they add all these things up to SM2, SM3 will be the game of the milenium!!

Thugs in NYC usually take anything they can get their hands on

the models in sm2 for buildings and spidey were great...peter parker and civilains just looked bad

YEAH! I PLAY THE GAME WITH THE MOVIE SOUND TRACK ALL THE TIME...I think i posted that earlier.... plus i kinda went insane with the caps
