The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Video Game First Gameplay Footage

The first gameplay footage for the upcoming Spider man game, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has been released.

SeanScythe3715d ago

We are they going to make a good spiderman game? It's been so long since Spiderman2 on PS2.

Robochobo3715d ago

The first Amazing Spider Man was pretty sweet. I liked the web rush mechanics and the Arkham styled fighting. The web-swinging was alright even though the webs didn't directly attach to anything around you.

I can't really tell from the trailer, but it seems that web-swinging might be influenced by what's around you, and it looks like they improved the animations and city by a bunch as well. Could be the Spiderman we've been waiting for, although it's what we've both been hoping since Spiderman 2 released.

extermin8or3714d ago

Its been announced that the webs do attach to stuff.

Shadonic3715d ago

Remember ultimate spider man ? that was the best IMO

nealane3714d ago

yeah i also remember collecting all of the comic books spread around the city to unlock the black suit. ultimate spiderman, spiderman 2 & 3 and web of shadows were my favourite spiderman games

Shadonic3714d ago

Wow I'm surpirsed that people didnt like ultimate spiderman game. We got the comic book art style with good combat and web swinging the actually had you swinging from a physical object and not the clouds.

Razputin3714d ago

Exactly, have to agree, I haven't played all the Spider-Man games, but Ultimate Spiderman and the Spiderman from the PS1 era were the best to me.

I didn't know they changed the combat system so much with Amazing Spider-Man will buy it when it is on sale, you know Activision keeping their titles at full prices even years after release.

SilentNegotiator3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

Well, this looks KINDA promising; the combat looks competently ripped off of Batman and the webswinging looks like it MIGHT be physically based and not swinging from clouds. I mean, it's worrying that they think we want to see 80% of the footage as indoor parts,but still.

Of course, if they forget this:]

...the game is just doomed to suck. lol

Inception3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

Agreed

I'm a big fans of Spidey, but after looking at inFamous 2nd Son and Arkham Knight, i hope someday Sucker Punch or Rocksteady will make one / two games for Spidey and give him a much better treatment than this crap :'(

Are_The_MaDNess3714d ago

well the video is titled as a 360 version.......

DarkLord10033714d ago

Oh - ok ^^
So there is still a little bit of hope left

Eyeco3714d ago (Edited 3714d ago )

I hate how close the camera is to Spidey, in Spider-Man 2 it was fixed just right it made web slinging more exiting given your field of view, that and why do the graphics have this sepia filter look to it ?

chrissx3714d ago

These guys just need to go look at spiderman 2 on Ps2 and get the idea of what a true spiderman game should be like. It aint that hard

Are_The_MaDNess3714d ago

looks ok, if its physics based swinging instead of the web just grabbing clouds in the air then im in :D and why is this tagged as a PC game aswell? is it comming to PC?

blackstrr4113714d ago

The spider man on ps1 is my best

Beenox on the Trials and Tribulations of Developing a Spider-Man Game

OnlySP spoke to Beenox co-studio head and creative director Thomas Wilson about the company’s work on Spider-Man games. Between 2001 and 2007, Beenox did not develop a single original game. Instead, the studio worked as a porting house. Beenox’s experience with movie tie-ins led to the studio’s original work on The Bee Movie in 2007 and Monsters vs. Aliens in 2009, and its experience porting Spider-Man games resulted in the studio being handed the reigns to develop original Spider-Man titles in 2010.

CarlDechance2083d ago

Nice read. Wilson's candor is refreshing. He flat out says Activision did not give Beenox the budget, resources, or the time they needed. Really is too bad Activision squandered their opportunities with the Spider-man franchise. They could have made some really great games. Activision being Activision.

Mister-Zay2083d ago

I wonder if we could have gotten better Destiny games if Bungie didn't go to Activision.

Profchaos2083d ago

Undoubtedly the quality would be much higher

UltraNova2083d ago

Activision's quick buck -low quality policy at its best. No wonder the first Spiderman game made by a competent dev with all the time and money needed turned out to be a stellar game overall that did justice to the source material...

Profchaos2083d ago

Activision being activision they dismantled neversoft probably the best studio they ever owned and they ran spiderman, Tony hawk, guitar hero and debeatably cod into the ground.

They have had a number of mega ips in their stable but they continue to pump out uninspired sequals for them until everyone grows tired.

Happy to see spiderman get another life with insomniac.

shuvam092083d ago (Edited 2083d ago )

Always felt the same...
Beenox Spidey games felt like they put effort into it...
But we all know that Activision is no Sony when it comes to budget, expectation and patience for these type of games...

Always felt bad for this team. They did a lot of things right, but Activision screwed them over at every turn.

Don’t forget about Spider Man 2 The PC Version which is worse than the console version. Web of Shadow PS2 version is also the worse than PS3/X360.

Edito2088d ago

It's just me or the title is misleading?

UnSelf2088d ago

at first read it appears so, but no it's grammatically sound

Inzo2088d ago

Best Spider Man game to date has to be Spider Man 2.
Worst Spider Man game to date I will have to go with The Amazing Spider Man 2.

vork772088d ago

i like The Amazing Spider-Man 1 game

antz11042088d ago

Me too, totally doesnt belong on the list.

GoldeneyeOO72088d ago

The absolute WORST Spider Man game is, by far, the PSVR installment. I'd have more fun playing with dog shit than that game.
