The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Video Game Thread - Part 4

When he did the sling shot maneuver there was lightening in the distance! Weather effects?!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

A few attacks still looks as weird as they are in the previous game
They brought back the weapon pull mechanic that is there in Spider-Man 2 Enter Electro, and similar to the shield pull from Spider-Man 3 on the PS2

 

[SpideyK]

Holy daaaaaaaaaaamn.

Wow. Consider me pleasantly surprised! Gameplay looks amazing!

 

[smidders]

It looks great i'm super excited.

Good news:
-Spidey scale looks normal FINALLY.
-Graphics are good.
-Combat looks better, stealth too
-Suits matter
-Infinite crime

Bad news:
-Spidey glides again
-"Physics" of swinging are not that great, or it looks that way
-Spidey uses Shocker gloves (?)

Sooooo... I hope that the swinging is because bad shots were cut for this specific interview...

 

[Spider-Aziz]

NOIR stealth animation variety
15 suits



Feels like it will be notably better than their previous game

 

[Spider-Aziz]

-"Physics" of swinging are not that great, or it looks that way

Looks that way is right, that's how it looks

-Spidey uses Shocker gloves (?)

I don't mind that, Spidey did use them once in comics, at least on one arm

 

[Spider-man95]

Honestly, the animation when he's swinging could be better, but damn, when Spidey runs up that building and jumps off it with the web rush! Super cool!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Couldn't replay the previous game after ending it? How? In what way?
Meaning the city crimes?

 

[FN Spider-man]

He's not moving fast enough
the combat looks the same which is a bit of a gripe for me
the only thing that looks changed is webs sticking to buildings
the only thing I liked is sling shot
i want the right kind of spider sense that we dodge automatically

There was hardly anything to do and you had to delete your save to start a new game.

I could select levels to play them again, and change difficulty in the pause menu setting
I hope those return

Looks like it.

I think someone mentioned seeing rain in one of the trailers, as well.

 

[Spider-man95]

Just remember guys, it's a movie game. We could have gotten a hell of a lot worse. I'm grateful it looks this good to be honest. We could have just gotten the mobile game and that's it.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Studio's owned by Activision gave us good comic book movie games, so we have the right to hope for something worth the wait, and hope for a highly better crafted game than most movie tie-ins

 

[webhead731]

I hope the Raimi suits are back.

It looks pretty good. But I think the first game looked better graphics wise and was more fluid with the swinging.

I need to see more swinging to judge. Still looks worth buying though.

Who's to say this won't join those games though?

I'm just saying, we're lucky we're getting a game in the first place.

Welp. Considering I thought ASM was the best Spider-man game ever made (yes, over SM2 which I think has aged horribly), finally seeing some footage has solidified it for me. It's pre-ordered. Can't wait. Guess it doesn't hurt that I'll get it for $3. xP

Dat slingshot doh.

I know! It's so cool that we can do that anywhere we want!

 

[SpideyK]

Wonder where he shot the web behind him when doing the sling shot... I see Beenox-cloud-physics still apply, somewhat.

Looked pretty cool, though.

Yeah...lol

 

[Avenging Spidey]

I love it. That's enough for me starting the preparations to buy my PS4, yes. I'd travel to buy it today, but work got in the way and I don't feel like leaving my girl in my birthday's weekend.

I have an old LCD Sony Bravia 32'' TV in my bedroom, I wonder which 3D TV should I buy to get the best out of my PS4, any suggestions?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Right now I'm thinking of the ranking of every other Activision Spidey game, where I want this game to stand, and where I think it might stand

How I rank Spider-Man games from Activision (home systems only, handheld and Spider-Man 2 for PC I don't rank):

1. Spider-Man 3 (Treyarch)
2. Spider-Man 2
3. Spider-Man & Spider-Man 2 Enter Electro (both PS1 games, tie)
4. Amazing Spider-Man (PC)
5. Ultimate Spider-Man (last Spider-Man game on my list I really enjoy playing)
6. Spider-Man Web of Shadows (cool swinging, best swing kick, and wall fighting is good)
7. Spider-Man 3 (Vicarious Visions)
8. Friend or Foe
9. The rest

I hope this new game stands as the new No.1 on my list, but I expect to enjoy it more than the PS1 games and less than Spider-Man 2

I hope the Raimi suits are back.

Ditto, and I hope the lenses look more like they did in the movies

Ok nice to see footage. Now.....

Ok the graphics look a little better. The swinging looks different however they still haven't shown us what a complete swinging looks like or if we can do any loops or twirls.

The diving over and over again might be a problem once again. They needed to give him more animations that just diving. I'm not sure but Web rush is back and it still looks AUTOMATED.

The combat doesn't look that different and I'm going to assume we can't use regular webs in combat because the person playing just did all melee the whole time. I'm not a fan of automated web attacks in combat. Webbing should be added into the combat manually. Just like SM2......oh boy. I will give them the benefit of the doubt but I have a feeling that web bullets is the only option.

Spiderman again seems to be too "straight up" in combat. He should be flipping and jumping around not running away from enemies while in combat.

The Ai still seems pretty dumb. Why would they be in a circle and then not notice when you take out one of them? That is so stupid....


I'm happy we got footage but I won't be falling into the same trap again. I will be watching this game like a hawk when people post walkthroughs. There might be more to the game. Hidden upgrades etc....

Personally, I'd recommend pretty much anything Samsung (post-2013).

Keep in mind ASM2 won't be in 3D, though.
