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

[Spider-Aziz]

Which is odd when you think about it cause Beenox made the port of SM3 to PC. It's not like they didn't have a pretty accurate representation of NYC at their disposal.

They also ported Ultimate
They had two different builds for New York to inspire from

Looks like comic book collecting is back as well. You can see it in this break down trailer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra9VTIc-Gqs&feature=youtube_gdata_player



Game comes out in around 4 months, still no proper footage yipeee.


I mean whatever they have at this point, it's gotta look better than that teaser, might as well show anything.

What a bad trailer break down.

I am dying for another great Spider-Man game. Has anyone looked into LEGO Marvel Superheroes? Its getting great reviews, and Spider-Man is obviously a playable character.

Here is some Spider-Man (symbiote) free roam gameplay footage:

I own it, it's pretty fun. The symbiote Spidey isn't included though, you'll have to buy the Super DLC pack for it.

I completed it 100%, twice
With Venom and Spidey both playable characters, don't see what could be special about symbiote Spidey video, but I'll watch

Different cell, interesting

Is the game worth buying at full price?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Is the game worth buying at full price?

Full price is a nay, and to be honest, that's a rule in need to be applied to almost all games, especially if you only play once
Maybe games offering 100+ hours of gameplay, if you REALLY enjoy them, and you know you will start a new game and play it all over again at least once, only then a game deserves full price
Unless you paid the $27 on steam when the offer was standing then, that's a decent price for a game

 

[Oscorp]

I hate when games make Spidey spam web bullets

Aziz, I completely agree with your last post. I never buy a game full price, not even Naughty Dog games. Naughty Dog games sure are worth it, but I always feel that I can wait a couple of months.

 

[Picard Sisko]

Only games I've bought at full price are Uncharted games and most of the GTA installments.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Only game I bought at full price is Spider-Man 3
Didn't expect to make it really worth what I paid for. I originally wanted to keep my distance from it, played it 38 times

 

[Oscorp]

I haven't played Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance myself, at least not the full game (I plan on buying it though). I've played the demo and watched playthroughs.

I must say that I'd love for a Spidey game to take cues from that game when it comes to gameplay and fun action (those boss battles!!) as well as soundtrack.

A Spidey game IMO should be fast, speedy and make you feel like a badass in the way that his agility and your control of such agility should make you feel awesome.

I'd even love a feature similar to the sword mode where you're in complete control of aiming your attacks. Obviously not vertically and horisontally like a sword, but e.g. aiming your webs.

Take lots of cues from the Arkham games but get inspiration from other games as well.

This is key IMO. One of the things that really annoyed me about the TASM game were the stealth stuff. Spider-Man is not Batman. It really shouldn't have taken so long for Spidey to take down a bunch of guys with guns.

 

[FN Spider-man]

I agree with Shikamaru Spidey doesnt need stealth he can just jump into the fray and take them all out as many need be and I also want where you can shoot multiple webs out and do a tripple (or however many) web rodeo

It was made that way to feel like a game, Spidey can be one sneaky b****** even without that being part of a game, like in the 14th issue of his first series against the Enforcers

I kinda want to enjoy a Spidey experience where you can punch a thug in the jaw and that is all that it takes to knock the thug down, even if you enter a cheat to do that

Ultimate Spider-Man comics is a great source for Spider-Man fighting dynamics, Bagley's art mostly

Did not know this. Well, that makes it even worse why they didn't map out a better looking NYC.

Yeah, this drove me nuts. Spidey's use of stealth is rarely anything beyond surprising his enemies at the beginning of a fight to catch them off guard to give him an upper hand. The game's extensive use of stealth felt completely inappropriate in a Spidey game.

The logic behind the stealth felt very juvenile and surface-y to me. It felt a lot like when WB said they want a dark Superman movie because TDK broke BO records. "Well, Batman had so much stealth and his games were huge so let's add in stealth!"

It's not that Spider-Man never used stealth but to have so much stealth against just guys with guns is ridiculous. Spider-Man does do stealth, but he is not defined by his stealth like Batman is.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

Well it was overly simplfied and he only had two animations. Its not that spidey can't have stealth but it has to be more dynamic. They need to make spideys collective powers fun. And as someone mentioned Web bullets is not the only setting for his webs......

 

[Zaron]

I agree that the stealth was horribly half-assed and poorly implemented, but I still think a Spider-man game has no business being that stealth-focused. Hiding in the shadows is Batman's thing. Spidey's thing is being able to dodge everything you throw at him because he can literally sense it before you start.

This.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

I think it should still be an option though. However, I think that his agility and spider sense need to be reworked. I miss the Spiderman 2 spider sense. Or at least the flashes on his head making him dodge when your press triangle. I also miss being able to dodge bullets. That was fun. Imo Spider Sense has been off since Spiderman 3. I like Web of Shadows radar sensing danger thing but I think that those elements need to be combined. Radar to sense danger,dodging when the head buzzes(a no brainer),slow motion(not WEB rush. Imo it broke the combat). I also liked how slowing down time in Sm2 and Sm3 gave him new combos. That was cool.

Anyone else want more WEB options other than web bullets????

I would love to see a better targeting system implemented and have more options for Spiderman's webs in the games. Web Bullets are boring. It would be cool if you could modify the settings or switch cartridges for different types of webs and also have basic and advanced moves that grow as you progress through the game. To me it would be cool if you can upgrade combat,agility,and your webs to make your own version of spiderman. I also think that Webs and combat needs to have more synergy. In the last few games it's been limited. I don't want too see any moves be overwritten because you select a new version or type. Like for example if I'm using a Thick web I should still be able to use a thin web. It should overwrite the move. Asm had issues like that.

Webline(Basic) - the basic spiderman staple. Should be a targeting system to blind or immobilize opponents or to fire weblines to start a swing.

Webline(Thick) - Thick - takes a little more web fluid to use. It's thicker in density and makes more a punch in combat.

Webline(Spaghetti) - can cover a wider area and is a little bit more messy to opponents and the landscape. (Upgrade)

Web Balls(Basic) - basic move from Sm3.

Web Rodeo - can fire webs at the opponent and through them in any direction

Web Yank - a basic move.

Web Disarm - a basic move.

Web Items - web gloves, bats,etc...doesn't have to be over the top. But it can be a fun way to use webs.

Web Blast - hold to charge to make a big web blast(from SM1)(Upgrade)

Impact Webbing(Scarlet Spider Style) - different from a web bullet. It keeps expanding on the foe

Web Net(Intermediate) - Creates a web net that enemies can be stuck to or captured in. Spiderman should also be able to climb the web(NEVER BEEN DONE before)

Web Prison(Advanced) - What he did to Tony Stark during the Civil War Fight

 

[Pinkypants]

The marketing for this game is even worse than for the first tasm game.

The first game came out on June 26th and four months prior to release we already had I think at least 2 trailers, a teaser and a featurette, not to mention concept art and screenshots.

 

[Galactus123]

This should look amazing on PS4. I really hope the next-gen consoles are the main platforms and not 360/PS3.

Trailer looked very bad graphically:

 

[Pinkypants]

Yep, that shoot looks pretty ******, even by current gen standards.

Some guy asked beenox on facebook when a new trailer might hit, they said since everyone is going on vacation now, we can probaby expect it early next year. Looks like january is when they'll finally be showing something, geez, about time!

Better be good beenox, better be good. And fix up those graphics, teaser looked like ****.
