S.C.G Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Well, I haven't played a Spider-Man game since The Amazing Spider-Man Vs The Kingpin on the Sega Mega-CD, I haven't watched a Spider-Man film since the original modern Spider-Man 2, I've never really properly read any of the comics since... a while ago; and I'm actually considering buying this game. Maybe not on release, but at some point, if it turns out to be the 9/10 excellent Spider-Man game that I think it will be.

It's good that you stopped with the movies there If you want to catch up, skip the rest and watch Captain America: Civil War and then Spider-Man: Homecoming. And if you want to scour any retro (ish) games to keep you going til this comes out, Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man on the Gamecube and PS2 were great fun. 1 1

I’m seriously thinking about getting out my PS2 to play through Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro and Spider-Man 2 over the summer. Way too many memories, and I’m really keen to make some more with this game. On a completely different topic, the second of the three pre-order bonus suits has been (unsurprisingly) revealed to be the Iron Spider suit as it will be seen in Avengers: Infinity War.
Sméagol Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 There seem to be speculations that Marvel is planning to do a Marvel game universe. I hear the Sanctum Sanctorum is actually in the game. The excecutive director wouldn't confirm, but also not deny, the game having links with the Square Enix games.. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gaming/features/spider-man-ps4-start-marvel-gaming-universe-bill-rosemann-talks/ Could be cool if true. They have a larger pool (pretty sure they can use whatever they want?) of characters, and being games, they have less limitations.

They have a larger pool (pretty sure they can use whatever they want?) of characters, and being games, they have less limitations. I think it’s a cool idea, and it certainly makes sense. If I recall correctly, the Avengers Tower and a Wakandan Embassy are also present in Spider-Man’s New York, so they’re certainly teasing. I wonder how something like that would work, though. From a gameplay perspective, if this is the best Spider-Man has ever felt to handle in a game - which seems increasingly likely - I’d want him to feel that way in the S-E’s Avengers, and I’d want the same for other characters (I don’t care much for Anthem because of EA’s involvement, but it does make me hungry for an Iron Man game). And then it becomes an issue of tone, camera perspective, etc., carrying over, which seems a fairly difficult undertaking in the video game space, but certainly isn’t impossible. We’re supposed to be hearing more about it this year, so perhaps E3’s the time?
bob Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Surely it would be a nightmare to have other controllable characters in the same game. Sure, have interlinking stories and locations, but can you imagine how hard developing the physics system to have Spidey swing about would be, and then you try and put in a flying iron man, or a jumping hulk, whose physics systems will have been developed by a different studio from the ground up? I don't see how it would work.
Ashley Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 A gaming universe doesn't mean you have to play as all of those characters though. It could just be that the stories interconnect and the characters pop up in the others, or you end up with more 'basic' characters that you control (rather than those that are flying, swinging and twirling towards freedom).

Linked stories would be pretty cool, though.
Julius Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 The Iron Spider Infinity War suit looks great in action.
Aperson Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Looks like we'll be seeing more of this game at E3. It's exactly 3 months until launch. I have high hopes for this game. There hasn't really been a good Spider-Man game since Spider-Man 2 and even that had it's problems. But Insomniac are good developers and everything I've seen suggests that they know what they're doing. I only really started playing on PS4 last year and it isn't even my own copy but this would be the first of a few games coming to the console that I would be interested in getting this year.

Actually, I think it probably is Doctor Octopus. There’s definitely a mechanical noise, and I suppose the reveal of Otto Octavius as Doc Ock would be just as surprising for Peter as a Norman/Green Goblin reveal would be?

Julius Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 It’s going to be a long three months... Thinking of finally finding myself a copy of Spider-Man 2 (played it around a friend’s house as a child, but never got a chance to own it myself) and playing through that and Activision’s PS1 Spider-Man games through the summer

Julius Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) The console itself looks superb...but that controller looks daft. I had the same thoughts about that Darth Vader PS4 from a few years back: great console, not-so-great-looking controller. But anyways...JUST HURRY UP AND BE SEPTEMBER ALREADY. Edited July 19, 2018 by Julius Caesar
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 I don't really mind that controller at all. Quite like it! It's definitely better than the Darth Vader one, though. By quite some distance.
Shorty Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 This is literally the only game I give a shit about in the whole world right now. My expectations are so high that if it's bad it could kill me at this point. 2 1
