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

Yeah, I actually have a pretty strong feeling that this game is gonna be worse than the first one. I've been impressed by absolutely nothing other than the 'webs attach to buiuldings' announcement. And they've yet to show that off as Repulsor indicated.

Wow. I actually remember a time when you loved the first game. Even after you played it, you still spoke highly of it, even after completing it.

it looks like the same engine is being used between ps3 and ps4 etc.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

Web yo yo looks like it is confirmed. However I am highly skeptical of this game. I bought ASM first day it came out and I was very disappointed once I found out custom soundtracks were not in and the fact that we had cloud swinging once again. Not to mention the lack acrobatic movement. Not sold on this one by a long shot. That could not possibly be PS4 graphics.

I wasn't expecting a large graphical jump. Granted, I expected a jump a little larger than what we're getting, but I halfway expected this.

You probably won't miss out on much if you get the PS3 version.

seems rushed and just meh, Kraven training spidey to be and i quote "a hunter"?, really? why?

 

[Spider-Dude23]

I'm actually pleased with that trailer. It was a lot better than what I thought it'd be.
City looks better, graphics do look slightly better and the story seems interesting.

People are settings their standards wayyyyy too high and not taking into consideration the time restrictions, Activision, movie tie-in etc than beenox have to work with.
This was never going to be like infamous or gta. Not while Activision are in the picture.

Agreed.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

Something positive. It looks like when he fires the web at the end he is actually holding on to it and then firing the next one. I'm also not a fan of the look of the webbing.

I remember that time too. It was short lived. My first impressions of ASM were very high. The first several chapters were great, the combat was refreshingly good for a Spidey game, and the presentation was pretty solid. After more time with the game those effects wore off and took off my Spidey goggles, lol, the negative parts of the game and the very mediocre nature of the game stuck out too much. The biggest let down was the free roam. I can't excuse a Spidey game that has such a poorly constructed free roam environment...imo that's the most important part.

it looks like the same engine is being used between ps3 and ps4 etc.

I gather they made the game for the PS3/360 and are simply doing a port to the current gen.

 

[Airnick]

I wanna get straight up gameplay, before I start saying it looks worse then the first one.

 

[AF3619]

actually that spidey model kinda reminded me of Spider-man TNAS

Hm. I actually see what you mean.

All in all, the game will probably end up being a mediocre game with flashes of brilliance as most Beenox games do. I'm not setting my standards too high, cause I don't expect them to make anything other than that. It's a shame really, cause Spidey deserves a better treatment. Hopefully we'll get a great comic based game from another publisher in the next couple of years as the license is moving on from Activision.

 

[Repulsor Blast]

animation and assets will be reused. they have been recycling the former since spider-man 3.

i wonder if it is the edge of time team or the amazing spider-man team that are making it?

be prepared for virtually no new footage until release. i'm definitely not buying it. show me some unedited gameplay of the swinging system and maybe i'll change my mind.

ps. the game will build up to a final showdown with kraven. he will train you so that you become a worthy opponent. also the game will be mediocre. there, i just saved you 60 dollars, or significantly more if you're Australian.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

They really need to stop doing their trailers like this. GAMEPLAY GAMEPLAY GAMEPLAY. I'm getting the same vibe as the first game. I hope that the take-down's aren't automated again. Tbh why cant I just tap the web button and then press the melee button to take someone down. You don't have to hold my hand. Let me do it.

@Repuls.

Yeah that's probably the gist of it lol

 

[UltimateWebhead]

The biggest deciding factor for me with any game is seeing unedited gameplay. Trailers do absolutely nothing for me. I'm very hesitant to spend $60 on this game. I'll wait to see how the game actually looks and how well it does with reviews before buying.

 

[Repulsor Blast]

is it me or are some of the weblines black??

 

[Spideyfan117]

is it me or are some of the weblines black??

They are. I think it has to do with the "Hero/Menace" thing. White webbing for hero. Black for menace.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

Or it might be the customized webbing. Well I'm happy we got something but I am by no means going to repeat the same mistake I made with the first game.

Not gonna lie, that's sounds pretty stupid. IMO.

 

[Repulsor Blast]

could have sworn in some shots they are both black and white/grey...

lol, if you pause it at 43 seconds in, the webs are going through spider-man's torso...

edit: yeah, at 1:06, one line is black, the other is white

Is that just based on your observation or was that from one of the Beenox tweets/announcements?

I think a lot of us got too hyped for the first game. My own hype lasted even after a full playthrough.

THE TRAILER!!

meh. Unimpressed
