The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Video Game Thread - Part 3

Batman: Arkham Knight is going to obliterate The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Consider, if you will, the fact that Spider-Man is a movie tie-in game. That means limited time. I'm positive that Arkham Knight has been in production for years while Arkham Origins was being worked on. ASM2 is going to be a great Spider-Man game and AK is going to be a great Batman game, I have no doubt.

You have the most optimistic post about TASM2, by far

It's not so much that this game's quality changed all of a sudden since the Arkham Knight trailer came out. It's that the Arkham Knight trailer pretty much killed all hype for this game. We have just as much information on AK as we do on this game, except that AK is made by a more reputable studio/publisher, is part of a more reputable franchise, and looks better overall. Again, that doesn't change anything about this game, but which game will get more attention in the media in these next two months? Obviously B:AK. Activision's decision to leave most marketing for last minute really backfired in this case. Every piece of news regarding this game will be buried under Batman: Arkham Knight, regardless of how big or small it may be.

The same thing happened with Edge of Time in 2011. Outside of Spider-Man fans, a lot of people were surprised a Spider-Man game even came out that year. Though at least Edge of Time was also a last-minute thing for Beenox; this looks like a bit of a more major project than that.

There's also the difference that B:AK comes out in mid-October and TASM2 comes out late April/early May but they have the same amount of content released.

So today, Sefton Hill said they will be releasing a Gameplay Trailer for Batman Arkham Knight.

Game over Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Also a cool Gamestop bonus when you pre-order Arkham Knight.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

With the exception to the first generation, every generation of the Playstation has a movie game as their first Spidey game

PS2: Spider-Man the movie

PS3: Spider-Man 3 (Treyarch)

PS4: The Amazing Spider-Man 2


Wonder if the 5th generation for the Playstation will have a movie game as well

Oh I freakin knew it!!! Activision I am officially pissed off

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

I don't have a Xbox One or PS4 but tomorrow I'm going to Gamestop to pre-order it so I can get that Batman poster. I do have enough money to pay it in full but I want the poster.

Welcome to the Arkham Knight forum lol.

 

[Spider-man95]

Is there not an Arkham Knight forum?


Come on Activision give us the gameplay!

So you actually thought TASM 2 had a chance against Arkham Knight?

They can still both be good games.

 

[JOE]

The wait has become annoying...

Hell no. It's just so funny how in 2 days Arkham Knight destroyed TASM2. I mean yea it had no shot against Arkham but as Thor said:

Could you at least make it challenge?

 

[Spider-man95]

Tell me about it....

 

[smidders]

Rocksteady should make animated movies. the trailer looked really nice.

 

[Spider-man95]

Rocksteady has more flexibility I guess.

Again though, you're comparing a game that had 3 years of development to a movie game. I don't think Beenox had the power to make a challenge.

 

[FN Spider-man]

Hey activision when's the gameplay trailer gonna be released ?
Activision: SOON <--- pisses me off every time I read this
Hey Rocksteady when's the gameplay trailer
Rockstead: Today

 

[UltimateWebhead]

Does anyone actually think that a movie tie-in Spidey game will hold a candle to the AAA-Rocksteady comic-based Batman game? The ASM2 game has a chance to be a good game, yes, but the AK game will be a contender for game of the year. No question.

It sucks that as a diehard Spider-man fan I am more excited to play a Batman game.

 

[Spider-man95]

Seriously though Rocksteady are an amazing company!

 

[smidders]

I hope Arkham does really good and makes a lot of money so Marvel can see that they could do the same if they made good games.

 

[Spider-man95]

But who's to say TASM 2 won't be a good game?

Sure it's not a triple A game but it could still be good.

 

[JOE]

Maybe they're ashamed of the footage?

 

[Spider-man95]

Maybe they're ashamed of the footage?

Nah, I think it's just Activision being idiots.

 

[FN Spider-man]

At least when TASM had Dee Brown he marketed the heck out of that

Makes me wonder what's changed. I feel like this new game should have the marketing the first game had and the first game have this game's marketing. No matter what people think of this game, I still think it'll be better than the first one.
