The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Video Game Thread - Part 5

I don't understand why they can't make the characters look like they do in the movie. In Spider-Man 2 game Harry was voiced by Josh Keaton but he still looked like James Franco.

I don't get it either!

In the first proper trailer for the game Peter actually looks a little like Andrew but now he doesn't?

 

[jonathancrane]

Maybe it has to due with the costs of licensing the actor's likeness. It's a blind guess.

You never saw him, you only saw his back.

 

[Spider-man95]

I know but the side of his head/face and hair looked more like Andrew.

Seriously, go watch the first trailer and then go look at the actual face/ model.

Seeing as the developer walkthrough was a somewhat early build, maybe Peter's face will look better in the final game?

Maybe even the the Peter model in the trailer was actually a more recent version, than the one in the walkthrough? Who knows.

Hmm...Could be!

So I saw an extended GDC preview for the game and I noticed once again that Beenox continues to implement automated gameplay. It's really annoying if I'm being honest.
They show Spidey pulling something with his web and it's so annoying because it's no true interaction for the player. You click one button and spidey pulls the mechanism off.

I wish they would understand that it would be a lot better if I could aim and fire manually and pull off vent covers etc. Stop doing this for me....please. Web rush is like a rebooted web zip except the mechanic actually does the movement for you as opposed to seeing were your going to go and zipping to that point manually. I'm tired of them playing the game for me.

Sigh....I miss this. Speed blur seems to be missing from ASM2. The vid below is SM2.

That game has aged incredibly well given that it is a decade old.

THIS.


I don't know if Beenox will do the third game but I hope that they finally realize the SM2 swing system and the features that made SM2 a great game.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

Beenox may do the next movie tie-in but what I'm mostly interested in, is to see who gets to do the next comic-based Spidey game now that Activision has lost the rights.

OMG. I hope it's someone who understands that Spidey needs a good budget and enough time to develop properly.

That looked pretty good, got me more excited for the game to be honest

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The PS1 Spidey game was simple, but I loved the humor in it. The story was one of my favorite. And when you got the cheat to play it on the "What if" mode, it was incredibly hilarious.

The "What if" mode is lots of fun

I don't understand why they can't make the characters look like they do in the movie. In Spider-Man 2 game Harry was voiced by Josh Keaton but he still looked like James Franco.

They want to distance the games as far from the movies as they can
Gwen didn't look like Emma Stone in the previous game, and May looked very little to the actress playing her

 

[Pinkypants]

New trailer tomorrow already, kewl.

I'm getting infamous today so that will probably satisfy my hero needs till this game comes out.


Not sure if it's good to play infamous before this since I'll probably be even more let down by it.

InFAMOUS is fun but it wont last you till april 29th/may 2nd. I got it launch day and finished it a week after playing just bits of the story most days. It's a really good game but the story is kind of lacking and there is not much to do in the open world. Paper trail could help but they release the parts every week or so (and a part is 30mins to 1h tops).

It shouldn't make the new Spidey game disappointing, it's not like TASM will be just an average game

I think he was refering to the visuals. inFAMOUS will without a doubt look better than TASM2, and it's never easy to switch to a game looking inferior.

I guess the visuals for inFAMOUS do look notably more appealing

It's sad that the swinging got progressively worse since 10 years ago... What has become of the spidey games?!

 

[Spideyfan117]

Same here. Fingers crossed for a high caliber Spidey game with an awesome voice cast.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

I hope that the Pre Order costumes come as Dlc in the future because right now i can't buy it.

 

[Nathan]

If they stick with the current cartoon cast, as they do most of the time, it'll be Drake Bell as Spider-Man. That would be enough reason for me to immediately drop the game. Because I can't play a game, when I hate the main character for constantly opening his mouth.

I personally don't mind Drake Bell, unless he talks the way he did in Avengers: EMH, he sounds almost as if he's crying there
Beenox made Spider-Man open his mouth nearly non-stop in the previous game, even when he jumps and web swings
