The Official "I Loved Raimi's Spider-Man' Thread - Part 1 of 99 Luft - - Part 11

[Spider2099]

I got bullied so much for liking Spider-Man but it didn't matter to me. It was all worth it.

 

[The Joker]

Why thank you.

I too have a lot of fond memories of that game. It was one of the many hype fuel items I used back in 7th grade to pass the time for the movie.

Speaking of which, I recently rewatched the first teaser trailer for the first Spider-Man movie. Does anyone else still get chills? I do, every time I watch it, I get thrown right back into the movie theater when I first saw it.

August 2001, Jurassic Park III. Me, my brother, and my dad. All 3 of us in total shock. I even remember my dad's reaction when the helicopter was being pulled back, by then he knew.

He just said "oh my goooood..."

One of my top memories with the old man and Spidey. Won't ever forget it.

I still play that PS1 game. And the sequel Enter Electro. And Spider-Man 2 the movie game. For me they are the only Spidey games with any real replay value. Oh and Spider-Man vs The Kingpin on the Sega Genesis is fun, too, but not as good as the other three.

I often re-watch the first trailers of some of my favorite movies. Just to get that nostalgia feel. The first teasers for the Spidey movies. For Batman Returns. For TDK. For the Arkham games etc.

Awww man that's awful

I remember playing the crap out of the old SM and SM2: Enter Electro games back when I was young, and on my PS1. Really great games. If I had to pick a favorite Spidey game, I would probably say Ultimate Spider-Man. A lot of great free roaming stuff, together with an interesting story and so on. I kinda need the games to have free roam these days. It's so much fun just swinging around.

 

[The Joker]

I could never warm to the USM game because it was basically just chase the villain. Nearly every level involved a chase. Got very tedious.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I find that most of the Spider-Man games have nice replay value. Simply swinging around and fighting crime is usually pretty fun for me. Could be a little better though. Games like Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, and Web of Shadows could have used extra skins and trophies (on the ps3 versions at least). Just a little extra something to keep you're interests piqued.

I'm actually aiming to buy the Spider-Man PS2 movie game, Spider-Man 3, and Web of Shadows soon. I have no Spider-Man says and that's wrong. So I gotta fix that.

Do you like the Spider-Man Movie game on PS2? I mostly play it for the sake of nostalgia. Brings me back to the good ol' days that I miss so much.

Thanks man.

Yeah USM did get very tedious. Also trying to complete those side missions got really annoying. Some of the gang members you have to fight are just ridiculously hard to beat and after a point it doesn't feel worthwhile. It has good moments though.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

It's a shame that they've never managed to equal the web swinging introduced in Spider-man 2.

Ultimate Spider-man, Spider-man 3, and Web of Shadows were all diluted versions of Spider-man 2's web slinging engine. You would think it would get better, but none of these games managed to reach the freedom and variables Spider-man 2 could give you.

Then there is ASM 2: the Game, which reintroduced web slinging. But the less said about that, the better. It was just ...bad.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Spider-Man 2 was the one game I'm sad didn't have any extras. For years me and and my brother would argue over it. His argument was since it's a movie game, why should it?

My side was because it would of added a little something extra. That game used the in-gsme engine for majority of the cutscenes, so at least we could have seen them while replaying. Not adding any sort of skins in that game always confused me. The Alex Ross costume at least, the first game had it.

 

[Spider2099]

Spider-Man: The Game (PS2) felt like the unofficial sequel to Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro for the PS1. I miss it.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

The soundtrack to enter Electro was gorgeous. And the tone of these ps1 games is my ideal tone for a Spidey movie.

 

[Spider2099]

I loved the Enter Electro soundtrack.

I do like it. It was a fun game, but it never reached the heights of the PS1 games or it's successor Spider-Man 2. I remember playing it for the first time and it was surreal hearing Tobey's voice come from a video game Spidey.

I loved the Enter Electro soundtrack.

This music (and this whole intro sequence) was always my favorite in the game. It has an eerie menace quality to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrfNy2qzz0E&t=0m49s

The game had limited web usage didn't it? Even though the movie didn't have mechanical shooters. The last game to do that I think.

I feel the same. The game is sort if in the middle but I enjoy it for what it is. I always enjoyed that "Pinhead Bowling" addition in the game as well as Bruce Campbell's narration.

Electro actually comes off as menacing in that game. Unlike another version of the character we got in a Marc Webb directed film...

The game had limited web usage didn't it? Even though the movie didn't have mechanical shooters. The past game to do that I think.

Yeah I believe it did. I guess the game developers wanted to add an extra challenge with the limited web shooters.

Playing as the Green Goblin was fun, too. Bruce Campbell's narration was always fun. I remember at the beginning of the Spider-Man 2 game he says "Hey is it sequel time already?".

I didn't want to say it but yeah, the way that game did Electro is the perfect tone for him.

Oh man, reading through these posts is taking me back to the best days of my childhood.

I never got to play too many games as a kid, but the one game I cherished more than anything was SM2. I still remember seeing the E3 footage and the official trailers before its release.

I'm sure some of you remember this:

[BrollySupersj]

I never saw any trailers, screenshots, or gameplay videos during 2004. Infact, between the time I was told about Spider-Man 2 and the time I played it was a good 24 hours. I was in new jersey during summer 04, and my brother called me up the day before I left to tell me how different and fun the SM2 game was from all the rest.

Holy nostalgia Batman, that takes me back to the good 'ol days. I remember loving that trailer but also being very disappointed that the only villain they showed in it was Shocker. No Mysterio, or Rhino, and most importantly no shots of Doc Ock.

 

[BrollySupersj]

So what skins would you guys have put in Spider-Man 2?

 

[W/ Great Power]

I was only 12 back then, so I can't say I cared all that much for which villains were included ld razz:

I appreciated minor details such as Tobey's narration and just the overall feel of the game. No other game has provided a better feeling of being Spider-Man, in my opinion.

 

[The Joker]

Guys, you all should watch this video. It perfectly describes why Tobey, and the Raimi movies, are the best.

Wow, that was amazing (lol). That guy said it all. Thanks for sharing man.

 

[W/ Great Power]

I think that's the best comparison video I've seen, and I've seen quite a lot. He was spot on with everything.

I love how he individually addressed the problems people had with Maguire and proved why those things were consistent with the character:

Him having a kind of raspy voice one would only imagine a really shy guy having? Uh, yeah, as it turns out, that fits perfectly.

You feeling awkward watching him trying to win MJ over with poetry in the second movie? Uh, yeah, that fits perfectly.

You feeling awkward watching him try to be confident without his powers? Uh, yeah, that fits perfectly.

That’s why instead of creating super complex machinery to visually prove he’s smart, we learned about his intelligence through subtitleties in the dialogue and character interactions.

Thanks for sharing

 

[Johnny-Oh]

Yeah great video

 

[Tacit Ronin]

I like the video, except the implication that Peter can't be an awkward geek as well as a smart guy who creates web fluids.
