The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Video Game Thread - Part 1

With the PS4 having 50% more raw power than XBone and the PS4 having games being released with full 1080p, I bet we'll see a turn around with this next gen. We'll go from the PS3 getting the short end of the stick when it comes to framerate issues and such compared to the 360 to having better looking games with better framerates on the PS4 over the new Xbox.

As for ASM2, I hope they are shooting for making a next gen version that isn't just a port of the current gen.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Had it not been for the game being next gen I'd have below zero interest in this.

Next Gen could make it better graphics, worse in other things

Same here, I only hope we wont get the same engine with minor tweaks to work on next gen. I want the same leap we had with SM3 on PS2 to PS3 (the PS3 version literally blew my mind away, looked amazing compared to other games). I don't need better graphics, all I need is better gameplay.

To be honest, I would have been totally fine if they kept the PS3/Xbox 360 consoles around for even longer. I don't feel a big rush to 'trade-up', as it were. Graphical quality aside, which may not be drastic anyway, I don't really see the big difference.

I don't see it either, and I play on PC mostly
And yeah, those systems didn't need to change this soon

No I'm glad that they release the next gen consoles this year. The hardware upgrade alone gives devs a lot more to work with and we should see way better titles in the near future (due to no bad hardware console holding development back -> PC players get better titles too due to console ports effectively disappearing). Just look at the new inFamous title, according to the devs they're able to store damage done to the environment due to the amount of RAM available to them (like you destroy a wall and it remains destroyed).
The Crew looks promising too with the "US map" with a lot of cities.

There should be no excuses anymore regarding lack of resources etc. for a long time.

 

[Oscorp]

I agree with Tim here, it's not about graphics alone. With the next gen, there will hopefully be alot more people and cars on the streets. The city will hopefully feel alive for the first time ever. Better A.I. perhaps? More fluid animations, better partical effects etc.

And for me, graphics do matter as well. A game looking gorgeous, accompanied with great gameplay, is a huge plus.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Are they certain the new hardware is strong?

 

[Tim]

It's not just about the hardware being "strong" it's also about the architecture which makes it way easier to develop games on the new consoles (we could see a lot more PC ports instead of the other way around).

Yeah. I really hope the newer hardware/software helps them to create a NYC that actually feels alive. I've yet to see that happen in a Spidey game.

 

[Spider-Dude23]

When do you guys think we'll get some more info/footage/trailer? Not long left till this game comes out.

A new trailer is VERY likely to hit next week, December 7th, at the SPIKEtv Video Game Awards.

 

[The Infernal]

Hopefully whenever the next trailer hits it's at least an improvement over the previous one.

 

[FN Spider-man]

That'll be a definite

lol. Well that shouldn't be too difficult.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I can't stop thinking how the first game plays like trying to imagine how this might play
Then I remember why I shouldn't have hopes or imagination of what might be, I need to spare myself the disappointment
How do I stop that? Working my mind with "The Flash" is not stopping it

 

[FN Spider-man]

I wondering myself to and i'd love to see it and i'm just waiting for beenox to say something, what they've said sounds pretty exciting so i'll wait, in the mean time i've been playing web of shadows and I love some of the combos and being able to web people and throw them against the wall, I hope you can be able to web thugs up on cars or up high and lamposts or hanging from a tall building and fighting people on walls while you have them stuck, and I also hope that you can jump on thugs and smack them in the head and go from on thug to another and not arkham style, I want fluidity and speed and spider sense darn it, I also hope that you can switch views like going to first person or up close or far away, soo many possibilities as well as parkour and spidey tricks like spidey 2

Keep your expectations low. It's prob gonna be awhile before we get some uncut gameplay.

Sticking people to walls and pretty high in that game is fun
One of the best features is seeing the web sticking and not easily removed by enemies

I hope you can be able to web thugs up on cars or up high and lamposts or hanging from a tall building and fighting people on walls while you have them stuck, and I also hope that you can jump on thugs and smack them in the head and go from on thug to another and not arkham style, I want fluidity and speed and spider sense darn it, I also hope that you can switch views like going to first person or up close or far away, soo many possibilities as well as parkour and spidey tricks like spidey 2

Beenox will probably keep the combat system grounded for the movie game series for consistencies sake, so it's going to be good not to hope for something like that from the movie games

Keep your expectations low. It's prob gonna be awhile before we get some uncut gameplay.

Definitely need to follow this recommendation

What I consistently expect is for the two trigger swinging to be like in the 90s animated series Insidious 6 episode, after Flash talks about Peter not getting his shot (that part didn't make sense), I imagine swinging to be like that one bit when Spider-Man switches between arms while swinging

 

[SpideyFan866]

I really hope they'd made use of the PS4 technology to give use a bigger, more sprawling NYC than ever before.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

How can they do that?

 

[FN Spider-man]

@ Same here and heres to the fighting style they've done to imporve I mean when I was playing tasm it felt stiff and restrained ,after U beat the game i turned it back in but I wont go to gamestop anymore I want to be able to get my money.
The free roam felt stiff and limited to me as well

Yeah that was a problem with TASM game once you beat it there was literally noting to do.

You could still replay stages
And fight hunters in the open world

True but once you complete it 100% the only thing you could do was replay stages. There shoud always be random crime going on like in spider-man 2.
