Koete Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 YES. That's the only type of Spider-Man game I care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 It's nice that we finally have a live-action Spider-Man that's skinny enough to look like the real Spider-Man instead of the reasonably-bulked-up Raimi version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 An all-new Spider-Man is poised to bring the action back to New York City as Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc., and Marvel Entertainment, LLC announce The Amazing Spider-Man™ video game, planned to launch summer 2012 tied to Sony Pictures Entertainment's upcoming feature film of the same name. Created as an epilogue story occurring entirely after the events of the movie, the game features the return of free-roaming web-slinging all over the city and evolutionary improvements to navigation and combat, as the newly anointed Spider-Man is plunged into an all-new storyline charged with protecting Manhattan from a variety of criminals. The Amazing Spider-Man is in development at veteran game studio Beenox, and features an original narrative crafted by Hollywood writer Seamus Kevin Fahey (episodes of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica) that continues young Peter Parker's adventures following the events of the new film. Using the game's new Web Rush mechanic allows players to pull off a vast array of moves never before possible. With a story that takes players through many areas all over (and under) Manhattan, fans will feel what it's truly like to be a Super Hero, as they experience the cinematic adrenaline rush of web-swinging through the city and fighting crime using Spider-Man's spectacular acrobatic moves and attacks. Fans can check out the WORLD PREMIERE EXCLUSIVE TRAILER for The Amazing Spider-Man video game during Spike TV's Video Game Awards, airing live on Saturday, December 10 at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT.

dc20willsave Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Watching the VGA trailer, why is Spider-man fighting robots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 They were designed to protect the city from a biological threat and turned on the humans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I know that. I mean, why do you have giant robots in a Spider-Man game? Even if they're Oscorp robots, still seems out of what you normally expect from Spider-Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Probably due to movie licensing issues. They can't put villains in that might be in future movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Except they did do that with the previous games. Spider-Man 2 had Shocker and Rhino in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Those games also had robots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yeah, I'd expect to see lesser characters like that again. I love open-world Spider-man, and graphically this one looks superb. If the webslinging system is as awesome as in the Ultimate Spider-man game I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 The free roam in this game looks awesome. http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/171157-games-the-amazing-spider-man-free-roam-video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashfan1 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 this looks really fun... I'm potentially getting it next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'll wait on reviews, my capital is still headed for Assassin's Creed at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 OK. I was watching reviews, and even though they're talking about average graphics and repetitive fights I was mere moments from getting it just because the web-slinging looked great. Or did it? I was trying to put my finger on it and realised that this game has an aspect of slinging that I haven't seen since the original non-movie Spider-man game for PC- Phantom swing-points. Your line doesn't actually attach to anything specific. Seriously, this is something they got right nearly eight years ago and it's an intricate part of what makes web-slinging fun, that you're grounded in an understandable set of physics, it's a huge part of why web-slinging is so satisfying. With that one simple change they've lost my purchase, I'm never going to drop over £30 on a game that regresses the aspect of gameplay that the main reason to buy it. Time to dig out my PS2 and my copy of Ultimate Spider-man. Say what you like about that game, it's got the best web-slinging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 You don't even notice it after awhile because of the way they make the swinging work. When you are above all the buildings you can't shoot any webs until you drop down to at least the rooftops. The problem I have is that you can jump off the tallest building in the game and just fall to the street and take no damage. You are also constantly crashing into buildings while trying to travel across the city. The game isn't bad, but it's not worth 60 bucks. They couldn't even get the actors to do the voices for it.

Flashfan1 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I love this game... not the greatest plot, and it does get repetitive at times, but no matter what I'm doing in the game, I'm having fun doing it... and I love the fighting... it's just so awesome to watch.
