I think Beenox just confirmed we're getting a trailer tomorrow, along with a screenshot of the game they're developing.

So, awesome!

Can't wait! I've been pumped for this all week.

A press release announcing the game.

Makes sense.

Alrighty Beenox, let's see what ya got. It'd be awesome if they are able to provide some details about the game along with the trailer. I hope they have made considerable improvements over ASM.

I own a vita, this is a sure buy for me. Doggy graphics though

Agreed.

I liked all the new ideas they introduced with ASM, but it failed in many regards.

If they can merge those ideas with what came before in games like SM2/3 and Web of Shadows, we could be in for a treat.

ASM def had some very good points. Beenox corrected some technical issues that seemed to plague past Spidey games, even their own. Things like camera issues while wall crawling, the controls 'going crazy' while wall crawling and you end up looking like Spidey's having a seizure, other camera issues, etc. The web rush was awesome...not so much innovative as it was an essential part of the game. And there's a few other things worth mentioning...

Like you say, ASM failed in parts where it needed to succeed. Free roam was atrocious, boss fights uninspired (probably lacked enough develoment time due to squabbling Sony/Activision execs), etc.

It would be awesome if this game turned out to be not just a great Spidey game but a great game otherwise. Not holding my breath. Not getting hyped. At this point, I'm just meh. I let myself get too excited for ASM...not gonna let it happen again. Eh, time will tell...

I hope they keep web-rush. When you learn to chain it, it's fun as hell.

Yep. It's def a very useful feature however I'd like them to add more to it. More animations, another facet to it that allows for more player control/interaction...not sure how to explain this, but it felt too automatic at times if that makes any sense. Also it would be nice to have an upgraded web rush that had more applications for combat.

They'll probably expand upon it.

Excited to hear we're getting a trailer tomorrow! The hype engine is revving back up.

I'm psyched to see we're getting stuff tomorrow but I know the end product is gonna be devastatingly disappointing...

I'm hoping for an improvement at least.

TASM was fun to me, but swinging around the city couldn't be more dull. I didn't like the web slinging, felt very artificial since you could just hold the button and it would work no matter what. Whoever's idea it was to have a certain number of city events to complete and then nothing whatsoever to do but replay story missions- why would they do that??

 

[Green Goblin]

I highly doubt this game will suck.

So can we watch a livestream? I found a Marvel NYCC13 livestream on YouTube but I'm not sure if they air the games panel there.

Bit of info.

This morning, a local newspaper confirms the game is The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Launch date: May 2014, same week as the movie. PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC and 3DS. Beenox promises a more realistic web swinging mechanic and a combat system with more depth.

The story of the game will go further than the movie, with an emphasis on the personality of Peter Parker. Additional details: new vilains and old foes, Manhattan will be more lively, Hero System, consequences for letting chaos happens.

More details later today at New York Comic-con.

 

[eLPAtitoyUPI]

Was going to post that. PS4, baby!

And they look like they're addressing what people didn't like from TASM. ****, I'm excited for just one line of info lol

 

[scrown]

It's great that it's going to be on the next gen consoles, but for some reason I think the graphics will still be mediocre, as well as the game.

 

[Marvel Spider]

Any pics from the newspaper?

 

[Marvel Spider]

First picture!

 

[scrown]

Dat next gen...


Well, I ughhh, can't really make out much of that. Can't tell if it looks good or bad.

 

[eLPAtitoyUPI]

That's probably artwork, but it looks great.

Also, I don't know if it is because of the nature of the design of the suit or what, but it could perfectly be a Shattered Dimensions suit.
