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

I don't have ultimate spider-man, I do wanna get it though.

Do get it
It's very simple in gameplay, I sometimes wonder why it's so much fun

 

[FN Spider-man]

I think it was cutscenes only I only hope they use it for running, jumping, and all the actions and locomotion for Spidey, oh and allow you throw people off the building and allow to attack other people, I know its bad but it would be more better that way you'd have to be smart when fighting.

i definitely will, i see a lot of people say its one of the best spidey games so I'm pretty interested to give it a try.

 

[Picard Sisko]

The only disappointment from that game is that there isn't much to do with Venom, and there will be missions where you have to get home in time for dinner, but there will be no cutscene with Aunt May or anything.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I don't have ultimate spider-man, I do wanna get it though.

It's aged pretty well, and for someone who isnt a fan of Venom at all, I really enjoyed playing as him. Only flaw of the game is Hulk Goblin.

 

[melvintwj]

The Hulk Goblin has always been a difficult level for me. Took me ages just to beat him during the first meeting, only to find out that I have to beat him again right after that in church or something.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

It's been a loooooong time since I've played USM, but yeah, he was a bassturd.

 

[eLPAtitoyUPI]

I remember having hard times with Electro too (and also in Web of Shadows, with symbiote).

Oh, and the last fight with Venom, damn that was hard.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I did not like WoS, it was wayyyyy to repetitive.

 

[Pinkypants]

I think we're getting a trailer and some screenshots this week, I mean the holidays are around the corner so if we're getting anything this year, it's probably this week.

 

[FN Spider-man]

hopefully it'll be today

 

[Tim]

hopefully it'll be today

Hopefully it wont just be another teaser trailer but a proper trailer showing ingame footage (next gen).

 

[FN Spider-man]

nah it wont be otherwise that wouldn't sit well I hope they've had a good time working on it cause they've got six months from what I understand

 

[Tim]

Less. They have more or less a bit more than 4 months. The US release date for the movie is May 2nd, in germany it comes out April 17th. I'm pretty sure they want to hit the earliest release date possible because a lot of people are going to impulse buy this right after they saw the movie. Waiting 2 weeks in most europe countries could cost them a lot of sales. It's generally a bad idea to release a "movie tie-in" game after the respective movie. If they release it in late may or june/July a lot of people wont even bother here because their interest in the franchise has faded (not everyone is a hardcore Spidey fan).

 

[Repulsor Blast]

movie tie in games are especially bad early in a console cycle.

i remember hiring the pirates of the carribbean game and the rise of the silver surfer game when i first got my ps3... lol

 

[FN Spider-man]

I wonder just how long they've been working on this, What would you guys think if there was news about a delay and more time to work on it. They need to get the marketing rolling other wise it tells you something about the confidence of it now I may be wrong and I wouldn't mind being wrong at all but that's just my opinion.

Beenox always had "crap marketing". There were a few trailers but other than that no real marketing/communication from the devs. Back in the SM2/3 days we had TV commercials for the games but nowadays it just drowns on a shelf in a shop without any advertisment going on.

Well atleast they respond on twitter. Could be like the LEGO titles, they have 1 trailer and thats it. No advertistment, no nothing.

It is straight up Ultimate Spider-Man

The Hulk Goblin has always been a difficult level for me. Took me ages just to beat him during the first meeting, only to find out that I have to beat him again right after that in church or something.

The last part before fighting him, saving three people while the a-h shoots fireballs at you, that's a real tough part
It's not two fights against Goblin, his health bar goes down in half, and he throws you into the UN building assembly hall to beat the other half of his health bar

I remember having hard times with Electro too (and also in Web of Shadows, with symbiote).

Oh, and the last fight with Venom, damn that was hard.

Symbiote Electro, hilarious xD

Web strike, enemy breaks web, web escape if you fear fail at timing the counter, rinse, repeat

You've got a point there , i'm just hoping they would stop that but it seems not likely I just hope they have a demo to try out so I can get a feel if I want to buy or not but knowing me I just pre order anyways

 

[Repulsor Blast]

Lego marvel had plenty of gameplay stuff released before it came out.

I highly doubt Beenox will do the same.

They wont, atleast no downloadable one (maybe at an event). Your only hope is (if you own a PS4 and live in the US) that Sony pushes the Gaikai service out by the time the game is about to arrive and enables the trial feature they talked about (every game having a "playable demo" by streaming a level/part from the game).

 

[FN Spider-man]

My aim right now is getting a ps4 but it'll have to wait

 

[Tim]

I was kind of joking though, I highly doubt they'll introduce the trial game feature in 2014. My best bet would be 2015 after they had Gaikai running for a while.

I'll get this for my PS4 though since I expect a leap in graphics/details for the next gen versions (I mean they did it back in the early PS3/360 days with SM3, the PS3/360 version looked infinitely better than the PS2 version... well had terrible framerate on PS3 though, but since PS4/X1 are easier to develop for I doubt we'll see an unoptimized game).

 

[FN Spider-man]

I really hope they push the ps4 graphics to its limit but I kind of doubt they would do that but it would be pretty amazing

At least Lego puts out a trailer quite fast and it's a good trailer too.

I mean look, they've just announced lego hobbit and bam!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22OHbg6HFik&feature=youtube_gdata_player

A trailer for it was just released today, a fine trailer.

I wonder who is in charge of PR at beenox, I'd like to smack the **** out of them, activision probably has something to do with marketing as well righ?




Ohh and even lego hobbit is probably gonna have better graphics than this game. There i said it!
