The Amazing Spider-Man: The Game - Part 2

[Spider-Aziz]

That game was just so......meh lol. Luke Cage showing Spider-Man how to use HIS OWN powers.....where is the logic in that? Wolverine fighting Spider-Man and the only way to stop the attacks is by answering trivia questions? Seriously!?!?!?!?!

I still quite enjoyed the swinging/combat mechanic of WOS. The first hour of that game is still best part of the whole game. I loved just webswing kicking into a group of thugs and watching them go flying... The as the missions showed how repetitive they were, the story being ludicrous and the lame enemy types, it went sorely downhill, but at it's core I thought it had a few good ideas. I thought the Dev's idea to approach Spidey's movement and combat like an extreme sports game wasn't a bad idea, or rather, a step in the right direction, it just didn't pan out for them, most likely to a lack of experience on free roam games like that (and the Activision looming Deadline of doom)

 

[Spider-Aziz]

A few good ideas, showed some potential to make a better game. But yeah, whatever

lol, this interview with Dee Brown had me cracking up! Check it out. Too funny. Even the hip hop gamers are down with Spidey. t: Some really good info in this interview though.

[YT]OJy0s3qXbS4[/YT]

Edit: Dee also mentions there will be DLC for this game.

LMAO, one of the greatest interviews I've seen haha! Just the hip hop gamer's excitement about the game made me smile in joy! He seems so sure about this game competing even with Arkham City. He even says GOTY contender! And he seems like an honest guy, just like one of us you know, so that makes me really happy! I can't wait!

Aside from the goofy ass wrestling belt, that was a good interview. We've seen this type of interview several times now on different gaming websites, and hiphopgamer was the only one to get some unique info out of Dee. How uncomfortable was Dee during that interview though? Dude looks like he just jumped out of prison.

 

[Oscorp]

He seemed very comfortable, they looked almost like friends! That interviewer seemed very nice and honest.

Thats how HipHop Gamer is man. He's just, well, yea he's unique. He deff has a passion for the industry.

Hope they deliver on this, considering they STILL haven't released the Identity Crisis skins for Edge of Time.

Those suits were preorder bonuses. They don't have to re-release them as DLC...if you wanted them, you should have gotten a preorder.

This is where Beenox will succeed imo. No they haven't worked on a free roam game before directly...they have done ports though and have been members of Activision for awhile. The big factor for their success will be how they went back to linear games and got some experience creating games with the Spiderman character. It allowed them to experiment with mechanics and find out what works and what doesn't. It was a progression of learning and now that they have that experience under their belt it only makes sense the next evolution would be a Spiderman free roam game. The ideas are fresh and new and should hopefully provide success for them.

I really liked the interview. It was funny for sure but like you say he did get some good info from him. Dee didn't really say anything directly but it looks like we'll be getting bonus suits as well.

Yea i think its safe to assume we are getting alt costumes, which is AWESOME because the previous Spidey movie tie ins, didn't. Hopefully Beenox puts their own realistic spin on some of the classics like the 616, Scarlet, 2099 etc.

I'm almost positive we'll have more costumes. I'm just wondering if they're going to take an "amazing spiderman" twist to all his costumes. redesigning them around the movie, or just keeping them classic....

Yeah, in the interview Dee said "you have a wardrobe closet in your apartment...you can guess what that would be for." I wonder if that's what collecting those comic books in the game is all about? In one of the reviews of the demo they mentioned how collecting those led to some unlockable stuff.

Id like to see them stay as close to the originals as possible, altho with the realistic look to them. Id love to see Beenox's take on a 'realistic' looking 616 outfit.

Fair question, and I'm interested to see any changes if done

I'm sure the alt suits will have the flair of the movie. It'd be great to see the 616 suit with the movie suit's aesthetics.

Interesting.
How do you feel as the character instead of controlling a puppet? Does that mean the first person?
Love the wrestling belt

 

[Havok83]

When is the release date for this?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

June 26th

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Dee said "Rhino mixed with human DNA", not the other way around
Could this be a twist? Or he simply made an honest mistake?

I think they are referring to the closer than normal over-the-shoulder camera angle. It brings you right into the action and gives a greater effect with the vertigo when swinging while many previous games had Spidey appear as a smaller character in the middle of the screen. I'm sure it's a combination of several things, the camera, blur effects, sound editing, etc. Seeing some actual unedited gameplay would probably convey this more than anything.

It's a twist. Read the IGN wiki-article. They take a regular Rhinocerous and inject human DNA.

Mistake.

Well, aaahhh.....:gulp:

Maybe I should agree on this one with Pat

I thought it was the other way around? He's like the lizard isn't he? Like most of Oscorps stuff are animals spliced with human DNA but rhino and lizard end up being human spliced with animal DNA. Or do I have it backward?

They also said you'd hear Spidey breath during the game. Very small detail, but one you almost never see in other games.

Did anyone else catch the comment about Spidey's movement changing when he's hurt as well as seeing suit damage? Nice touch. Looking forward to that.

Sorry guys...I had it wrong. Here's a clip from that IGN wiki page:

Chris: "It’s also notable that Rhino is the only cross-species experiment outside of the Lizard himself who was first a human being. Our fiction in the game states that even though Oscorp has continued Connors’ cross-species research, the company isn’t so corrupt as to continue experimenting on human beings – so any other cross-species enemies Spidey might come across were an animal first, crossed with human DNA. In fact, only those directly involved in the experiment on Sytsevich know that Rhino was human first – for the sake of his own reputation, Michael Morbius, who was forced to create Rhino against his will, has told everyone at Oscorp that the beast was a rhinoceros crossed with human DNA."

So he actually is a human being that is then crossed with Rhino DNA but Morbius lies about it and says it's the reverse. That's where my mistake comes in...sorry again for the mis-info.
