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

Agreed! Spider-Man 2Spider sense was the best so far. Although I do love it being incorporated with the Arkham style fighting, it makes sense that Spidey would see an attack from behind and counter it.

I think the Arkham thing was ok but the problem was it was it was too stiff and wasnt very fluid. And he didnt have a lot of animations either. My biggest suggestion for them is to make playing as Spiderman fun! I used to like the Dmc series for the over the top combat. It was so fun! I wish they could capture his energy from the movie. Hes playful and hes a master at what does.

Yeah, I played TASM 1 recently and it did feel stiff and limited. This is why I'm looking forward to seeing this "improved combat" in the new game.

 

[kbrooksgohan]

Me too. I just want to have "fun" as Spiderman this time. I felt that the combo animations were a little better but I wanted more control over them and I think that they made it too much like Arkham City with the whole one button combat system. I did like the controller rumble they added. That was one thing I have been suggesting since Shattered and they did add that so I appreciated that. I also liked what they did with the swing system controller rumble but I would have like it better if the momentum was natural and not just one continuous swing over and over.

amazon.de offers the PC Version of TASM2 for 19,99€
That sounds horrible if it's no pricing error (which is unlikely because it's up for weeks already with the same price apparently). Either the PC Version will be a really bad port or we should prepare for a massive disappointment/cash in (which would make sense with the little media we get). I mean it can't be that bad though if they use TASM1 as a base and build ontop of that, they'd have to completely mess up and remove half of the stuff the game offers.

That price is nice
I like it

The difference is the Arkham games aren't based on any movie and aren't using the movie versions of the characters. This game is based on Andrew Garfield's version of the character, and it should use his voice.

But you get my point, right? It still wouldn't be the same in this case. It would feel to stiff maybe, and limited with Andrew as Spidey in this game instead of Sam Riegel or Josh Keaton.

 

[Tim]

Same. Tobey was able to voice his movie games so I'm not sure why they aren't allowing the same this time around.

Probably scheduling issues again or they don't want to use the actors voice due to not using them in the first game. Maybe Riegel returns (I don't mind but I doubt it otherwise we would know already). It'd probably be cheaper getting a simple voice actor than a movie actor too (if there is nothing in the movie contract saying they have to do game voice acting).

And games like DC Universe online use the movie voices here in germany. Batman has Bales german voice, which is a nice touch (not the cancer-deep voice he does but the normal Bruce Wayne voice). I think the Arkham franchise uses Bales movie voice too here, I'm not sure though it's been a long time since I played B:AA or B:AC.

Is anyone going to preorder this?

Is anyone going to preorder this?

I preordered it 2 months ago. Will always buy the freeroam movie Spidey games because they are my favorite Spidey games (wont touch the level based ones).

Level based Spider-man games are the best imo.

 

[Galactus123]

I think it'll be Shocker.

Based on this image:

He could also be one of the Shocker's henchmen.

 

[Tim]

He could also be one of the Shocker's henchmen.

Or he could just be a normal mobster, you know. Just cause he shares some design elements with shocker doesn't mean he is shocker or a henchmen of shocker. It's like the trailer scene where Spidey holds onto 2 webs near the end and one of the weblines is a bit darker: People instantly assumed it's hero or menace design showcasing, I can pretty much guarantee you that it's only related to lighting. They always have trouble with webs and lighting (I mean SM3 had black webs most of the time).

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Spider-Man 3 has the best warning system, warning from projectiles is a right addition when you might get struck by an array of bullets
Spider-Man 2's warning system is not perfect

 

[Spiderhog]

Soooooooo where is our trailer?

Except Beenox put on Facebook a poll of Shocker vs Jackal and said one of these will appear in TASM2 the game. So you think it's Jackal then?

Also Beenox have said that we will interact with villians before they become super villains. It just adds up in my opinion. That pic could be a simple thug, what if it is Herman when he was a simple thug before becoming Shocker. Maybe we'll meet him in a random event and it will become a side mission and develops until he becomes Shocker.

Also that could be the hero or menace system, Kraven says "let's see if a hero or a menace will crawl from the dark". He says hero or a menace right when we see the two webs.

I hope I'm wrong though, I don't like the idea of the web becoming black. But I will be playing as a hero anyway.

 

[Spider-man95]

Soooooooo where is our trailer?

God I wish I knew....We still have some days left this week. If that email was true. It did concern me when Beenox didn't make that into an announcement on Facebook or Twitter.

A lot of people are waiting for it. People keep asking for it on Facebook.

Since Beenox have no clue why the pics for the game look so bright and colorful and said that it's marketing who made the pics, makes me wonder if they're trying to sabotage Beenox or something by not releasing any trailer or this walkthrough XD. How much better would it have been if they showed the walkthrough already and showed the costume perks in gameplay trailers rather than text. Like someone said on youtube, it's hard to tell how useful these perks are with no gamplay knowledge.

I just find it strange that they told me on FB that they don't know when the walkthrough will be released, yet, they told another guy here via email that it could be released this week.

 

[JOE]

Friday is a good day to do it!

 

[Spider-Dude23]

I don't believe that Beenox don't know when it'll be released.
They'd HAVE to know.
They're probably just told not to say anything.

At this stage, it's ridiculous that we haven't seen any footage.
The game is out next month for Christ sake.

 

[Spider-man95]

Yeah, something fishy is going on here.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Soooooooo where is our trailer?

Marketing have it

 

[Picard Sisko]

I really just don't even care anymore. This game could end up never seeing the light of day and I would probably just shrug it off.

 

[smidders]

Maybe beenox seen it and didn't like it.

 

[Spider-man95]

I really just don't even care anymore. This game could end up never seeing the light of day and I would probably just shrug it off.

This is precisely why the marketing team for this game are failing. People are starting to wonder why they should wait for a movie game to show gameplay.

Seriously, the marketing is really bad.

But that should not reflect the game's quality.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Yeah, this is the worst marketing for a Spider-Man game
