SM2 wasn't? It explains it if they did really work on the city for 3 years

Apparently, TASM wasn't originally a tie-in game either.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

In the end, say what you will about SM 1-3 and TASM, they are way better than most of the movie games that usually come out.

Apparently, TASM wasn't originally a tie-in game either.

How so?

 

[eLPAtitoyUPI]

How so?

It started as a project for a videogame between SM3 and SM4, then it became the tie-in game of SM4, and then it became the tie-in of TASM.

I don't know how much is left from the pre-SM4 phase though. I'm guessing they sketched the close-up swinging cam and web-rush mechanics. Probably, it wasn't Beenox the one in charge by the time. Maybe Treyarch or Shaba.

Who had it before the rights move to Beenox?

Who had it before the rights move to Beenox?

·Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro (PS1) was from Neversoft.
·SM1, SM2 (tie-ins, PS2/Xbox) and Ultimate Spider-Man were made by Treyarch.
·SM3 (tie-in, 360/PS3) was made by Treyarch; the PS2/Xbox version was made by Vicarious Visions.
·Friend or Foe was made by Next Level Games.
·Web of Shadows was made by Shaba Games (and maybe with assistance of Treyarch?).

To the scrapped game I mean, that transformed to TASM
Enter Electro was Vicarious Visions

You're right about Enter Electro, got it that wrong.

The scrapped game? I don't know, and it'll probably stay like that. The things left from the project are either in the TASM game or in some basement in some Activision office.

My bet goes to Treyarch, and then Beenox by 2009.

Beenox confirmed that the only open world game they were working on was SM4 and later on TASM. They said that they did a SM4 which ended up being TASM later on (in some form). There was no game between SM3 and SM4, you are probably talking about the base game they built preparing for SM4.

Neversoft didn't make Enter Electro.

Vicarious Visions did.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

Treyarch did the best job so far imo

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Neversoft didn't make Enter Electro.

Vicarious Visions did.

We got that covered

Enter Electro was Vicarious Visions

You're right about Enter Electro, got it that wrong.

 

[Oscorp]

Isn't it a bit weird that we've heard nothing about this game yet?

 

[Green Goblin]

All Treyarch games bar Web Of Shadows were very good IMO

 

[HanShotFirst]

Sony should've named the sequel Amazing Spider-man: Enter Electro instead of Amazing Spider-man 2... Or is it too lame? :P

[JOE]

Uh oh... I just hoped they fixed the swinging...

 

[UltimateWebhead]

...and the free roam. The open world sucked last time.

 

[Oscorp]

...and the boss fights.

 

[HanShotFirst]

... and my axe!

Bwahaha!

I am looking forward to the Amazing Spider-Man 2 game, even though we have seen nothing yet, or even had a confirmation of its existence. Main reason: The movie comes out in May 2014, the next-gen consoles will be out before Christmas. So this could possible be the first next-gen Spidey game.

If they put a lot of time into the giving web-swinging actual physics, I think a control scheme similar to inFamous would work well, shooter-esque controls where you can switch between Spidey's left and right hands and shoot webs exactly where you want, combined with an improved Web-Rush.

With improved processing power, it would also be nice to have the city feel more real, with seamless transitions from missions to free-roaming, to the NPC behavior, active night/day cycles and weather.

 

[Shikamaru]

I'm really not looking forward to a TASM 2 game. I would much rather see a Spider-Man game based on the comics at this point. I feel like movie games limit the game's potential due to the restrictions on the story and villains they can use. I know I probably sound like a broken record since I've stated this many times, but I just can't get excited over the idea of this game due to that .

 

[OcStat]

I can't disagree with that, but unfortunately the movie games always seem to take precedent. I guess the developers feel the need to rely on the movies to boost the sales. It is pretty disappointing that since Enter Electro, we have only had one game based off Amazing/616, Web of Shadows.

Oh and Shattered Dimensions, and Edge of Time, der. As fun as SD was, I would prefer a game strictly revolving around the Amazing Spider-Man. Shattered Dimensions almost feels like a follow up to the Neversoft/VV games, it's the closest we've come anyway.
