Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

[spideyboy_1111]

If they pad out the villian roster by making them all have "Symbiote" forms, I'll not be happy. That will be the biggest cop-out I have ever seen.

Why don't they ever use some of the lesser known villians for Spider-Man games?

I would love to fight Jack-o-Lantern or Molten Man.

they have, the movie franchise has given us, Calypso, Morbius, and Shriek.

Yeah, Rhino, Electro, and Vulture arn't the only bad guys in the game are they?

 

[Spidey17]

I like Rhino only because he is the only Spidey villain that can go toe-to-toe with The Hulk. I don't count Jugs because he's an X-men villain. And I would also really like to see Molten Man, and Morbius and Kraven on all the versions, not just the xbox(for kraven at least, not sure about Morbius, I think he was exclusive to the wii).

Rhino, going toe-to-toe with the Hulk? What?

 

[Brainiac 8]

I would love to have them do a battle royal section with the Sinister Syndicate - Beetle, Boomerang, Shocker, Hydro-Man, and Speed Demon.

That would be one heck of a fight in the game.

Really?

 

[The Amazing Lee]

apparently The Tinkerer is in this game...he's never been in a game before. (So I am told)

From 1up
Time seems to flow differently on occasion: OK, this was something more pronounced when playing the Wii version versus the HD versions (PS3, Xbox 360). One of Spidey's main attacks is the Web Strike, where he initiates a web attack (a simple snaring of his target) and, depending on the timing and what button is pressed, follows up his websnare with a special attack (a throw, a special punch, or a combo where Spidey wraps his target up with more webbing and uses said target as a makeshift surfboard. Seriously). On the HD versions, it's a bit tricky to hit the buttons in time for a cool Web Strike. On the Wii, even though a Web Strike involves waving your Wii Remote around, it's obscenely easy to orchestrate cool Web Strike combos. Somehow, the timing felt more generous in the Wii version. It also provides a goofy twist -- while the Wii version generally looks less snazzy than the HD consoles, the actual combat looks cooler when I play on the Wii because I can pull off Web Strikes so easily.

This sounds like something I may have to think about when picking up the game.

Booyah, finally the Wii gets its just deserts.

as far as i know Rhino, Venom, and Doc Ock have fought the hulk

doc ock actually beat him, it was a weaker hulk i think, and he just hit him with his tentacles over and over until he got knocked out

 

[SpideyForPrez]

actually i dont, what happened with ghostbusters?

Go back a page or two in the Misc game form section for GB thread. But in short it was gonna come out the same day as WOS but a few months ago the publisher dropped it for some stupid reason not related to the game itself and... (starts crying) just check the Ghostbusters thread.


Sniff* And yeah I hope almost all Villains have symbiote version. That'd be sweeet.

 

[SpideyForPrez]

Double post.

Tinkerer's in the game. The developers hinted he might appear, and some screenshots had Spidey fighting a goofy-looking, giant red robot, which sounds like something Tinkerer would create.

Also, the Green Goblin was confirmed, but only for the DS version.

seriously? the game had to of been crap then.. thats the onyl thing that makes sense... i mean they got the cast back, it was an extremely hyped game, and it took alot to even get that to happen

 

[Rando]

i preordered tonight.

yay!

 

[Spidey17]

Calm down, ****!!! I'm not saying he actually wins, just that he is near Hulks level, like Thing or Thor. Only Sentry is really on Hulks level, in my opinion.

That wasn't the consensus from early previews. It was getting rave previews from everyone who was lucky enough to play it. I think it was dropped becasue of some bureaucratic bs due to the merger.

i duno, i dont think a merger would drop such an instant hit.. do you think it could of been the talks of them actually doing a ghost busters 3 movie? and just decided to hold off on the game?

 

[Brainiac 8]

Nope, it was dropped because the publisher wanted to hold on to the Spyro and Crash liscenses...and felt that it could do without the GB franchise.

no not really. If that was the reason then why would they switch publishers. And Activision dropped other titles that weren't even in development yet, including The Bourne Identity franchise which had the potential for major cash. Pretty sure the delay was due to bureaucratic reasons like Pat said.

But back to the Spidey

 

[SpideyForPrez]

Spyro and Crash. Pfft! I certainly won't be buying those games in spite of that decision... not that I would anyway. My sister was into Spyro when she was 10!

 

[Casius--J]

Just watched the trailer, must say I wasnt that excited about it until I saw that and I can't wait to play this now!!

 

[The Bruce]

DS Footage!

Looks great!

 

[absonic93]

DS looks pretty beast.....

 

[Brainiac 8]

The DS version may be pretty good, considering the DS had the only worthwhile version of Spider-Man 3.

Some of the old school Spider-Man games for the old Gameboy were great.
