Me too!

Should be soon though! You never know, we may get a leak of gameplay from someone at GDC.

 

[FN Spider-man]

You didnt just say "soon" did you? if I hear "soon" it'll be too soon

 

[Spider-man95]

Oh god I didn't even realize!

SOMETHING. FINALLY. The article sounds great--really great--and the pictures inspire some hope, but I'm not buying this game till I see some footage. End of story.

This.

1) The screenshots are fantastic. I for one appreciate stylized visuals. It is clear that the designers are attempting to preserve the aesthetic of the new film while also taking cues from the comic books. It is an excellent blend of visual styles. I quickly tired of the hyper-realism that permeated the gaming landscape for the past five or so years after the advent of Unreal Engine 3.

2) I love the Daily Bugle mechanic. That is a rather novel way to include a morality system. Ever since KOTOR, everything has been about choice "A" or choice "B", where one is good and the other is bad. This time, it seems like it has less to do with binary choices and more to do with public perception of your actions, whether or not they are well intentioned. This could lead to some moral gray areas and a nice story dynamic that doesn't involve having to sit through cut scenes. It could work similar to the wanted system in GTA. Perhaps if Spidey racks up enough negative press, he'll have to evade the police while still attempting to stop crime.

3) I am very excited to see the return of the web swinging mechanic from Spider-Man 2. Being able to shoot webs from either arm allowed for so many more options while controlling Spider-Man, including the much needed air-brake maneuver.

This screenshot is my favorite. I love the haze effect, the realistic draw distance and the pose that Spidey has assumed in this shot very much calls to the well known line of "does whatever a spider can"

Judging from the screenshots I think it looks great! They said they wanted the buildings to be more varied this time. In my opinion it looks more detailed than the last game.

I mean holy crud look how many building there are in this shot!:

I wonder if by distinct districts they mean places like Chinatown? Has Chinatown ever been in a Spider-man game?

I do have to say, I was not impressed by what I saw before today, but those screenshots have me sold. The draw distance is A LOT better than the ASM from 2012. Like holy crap, look at how many buildings there are. Not GTA 5 worthy, but damn pretty good for a movie based game.

I can accept the cartoony look if there is quality to back it up. I just need some gameplay footage before it's a day 1 purchase.

That screenshot is amazing, heck they all are to be honest! But this is my favorite one!

The more movie accurate Oscorp tower and the how big the city looks and that spectacular pose of Spidey holding on to that gargoyle!

Can we assume that's the new design of the Daily Bugle building from the film? I'm gonna miss it being on the flat iron

Are you referring to the PC version of GTA 5? The console version was rather unimpressive even for its time. But the PC version with the ICE Mod, still looks better than any video game on the Playstation 4 or Xbox One. With that said, I don't believe that the intention for this game is to make it some tech demo for how high the graphics quality can be. It seems to me that the developer chose an art direction that reflects the world they are building (a comic book inspired world).

Yeah I'm guessing. I forget, did the DB look like all the other DB's from the Rami games?

 

[UltimateWebhead]

I can't remember about SM1 but both SM2 and SM3 used the flat iron bldg.

 

[Spider-man95]

It did yeah.

Although I don't think the Daily Bugle was in Spider-man 1. At least not in a level.

 

[PalmerTheThing]

I can't remember about SM1 but both SM2 and SM3 used the flat iron bldg.

Yeah no DB in SM1.

Was it the flat Iron building in ASM1? I totally forget, if so, that's friggan amazing on behalf on Bennox.

 

[Spider-man95]

From the article:

"The goons are guarding an experimental suit, which just so happens to be sized perfectly for Spider-Man."

So is Spidey going to be using this suit in the game, maybe to fight Electro? Thoughts on this guys?

 

[Spider-man95]

Yeah no DB in SM1.

Was it the flat Iron building in ASM1? I totally forget, if so, that's friggan amazing on behalf on Bennox.

No, it was like the screenshot for TASM 2.

Here's a video showing it.

In ASM the movie, they never showed the DB building, only the front page of the newspaper. For the game, they had signs up all over about the DB but they didn't actually have a bldg for it. Come to think of it, the flat iron bldg wasn't even in the ASM game

This is why I'm happy to see a bigger city and Beenox are making a more accurate New York this time, because a lot of building were missing in TASM 1 game. Don't even get me started on how pathetic the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building looked.
