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

They probably will, maybe the newer suit, and Ends of the Earth suit
Beenox made it a habit of theirs to adapt modern costumes

 

[Tim]

I assumed for a while they will do the thing they did with Edge of Time in finding Shattered Dimensions save file and importing suits from there
I expect them to add new suits to this game, and make it find the save file of the first Amazing Spider-Man game importing suits from it for Amazing Spider-Man 2

I doubt it. If I was Beenox I would be pushing the next gen versions instead of adding features for old gen consoles (every other dev does the same). I don't think they put much time into the old gen versions.

I'd be pretty pissed if they unlocked certain bonus content if the game detects an old savegame since I'm getting the PS4 version (and I owned ASM1 for 360).

 

[Pinkypants]

Still no trailer...

Man i just wish they'd give us a date for the trailer. I'm sick of checking the forums all the time and their twitter which tgey barley update.


There is a new year spiderman event happening in time square ny, they are going to show some new movie footage, gah im guessing thats when were getting the game trailer as well.

Hey beenox! Twitter? Yeah, use it!

For the next gen version they might include some of the costumes from the previous game in game disc, but for current gen they'd use that tactic

Have you been following Beenox for the previous games? This is par for the course with them. Vague followed by more vague.

One day, gentlemen… one day we'll get an incredible Spider-Man game that knocks our socks off. Hopefully it is something that happens with PS4 and not PS5...

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The only way that would happen is if someone really good at making games using Unity makes something very special and distribute it

Or PS7...

Well I do think it will happen eventually.

 

[Pinkypants]

I wonder why treyarch stoped making spidey games.

 

[Picard Sisko]

I miss treyarch… I think they are just busy making COD games.

Activision CEO played their Spider-Man games, and thought they sucked since Spider-Man 2

Right, maybe he should find time to play some beenox gamest:

Maybe he did, and like them

 

[Picard Sisko]

SM2 and USM are both great games

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Tell that to him, see if he listens to fans like Beenox do

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I'm just stoked because this new game means we'll hopefully get a game with the freakin' Green Goblin in it, finally.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

If you mean Next game might give us one, then hopefully it will
The possible premise of the game story might offer Norman Goblin in the game, or foreshadow him for a sequel

 

[FN Spider-man]

I have to say im growing alittle impatient because in my opinion this month is the perfect time to bring something out

Not a chance. Theres no chance in hell Sony introduces a major villain/character from the movie franchise in a spin-off game. The only characters we'll see are the ones we see in the movie and other villains that wont make an appearance in future movies.

They did a doodle with the Rhino though, but that's acceptable since they can simply say that the Rhino in TASM1 game isn't the actual Rhino (just a cross-species creature). We might aswell see the "real" movie Rhino in the game.

That's the sacrifice Beenox has to make (Sony telling them what villains are allowed etc).

 

[FN Spider-man]

The game is basically its own universe if BEENOX wanted to they could

They are still bound to do whatever Sony wants them to do since Movie rights > game rights (sucks, I know). If Sony doesn't want them to introduce a Norman Goblin they wont be able to.

Beenox even said that they had a lot of meetings with the Sony folks where they discussed what they can do and what they can't do (they were "glad" that Sony allowed them to make a story after the movies story, but they were still bound to the villains Sony gave their greenlight for).

 

[Oscorp]

I'm sorry but that's a pretty ignorant comment. Beenox can't do whatever they want. They are restricted by both Sony, Marvel and Activision. If I worked at Beenox, I'd flip a table over such a comment!

Imagine the next trailer turns out to be amazing and blows us all away. 99% chance it won't happen.

You know, all they really have to do is nail the swinging system (which is not that hard and I'm sure they finally managed to create a proper system by now), improve the freeroam by adding procedural crime generation and make sure the next gen version isnt just a straight port (by introducing a more advanced game engine with smoother gameplay/better graphics).

That's all it would take to get me to preorder the game for PS4. Aslong as I can finally put my SM3 PS3 copy to rest I'm happy (well last time I played it was a year ago, but it's the only SM game I'd ever go back to).
