Just about every webhead assumed a new video game would accompany 2012's new Spidey movie -- The Amazing Spider-Man -- but now we have confirmation. Activision's New York Comic-Con booth has a poster for The Amazing Spider-Man game that sports the Beenox logo (aka the developers of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Spider-Man: Edge of Time). No release date was on the banner, but you can assume it'll come right around the movie's July 4th release date.

Beenox again. I wonder if they'll attempt their own sandbox Spidey game or just go with the style they've been using with SD and EoT(probably that). Personally I hope it'll be the former just because I'm curious to see how they'd handle that and I'm craving for a new Spidey open-world game since it's been a while.

Then again, it'd probably be more safer to build off of the same engine their other two games used so it'll turn out more polished(instead of building an entire game from the ground up in such a short amount of time).

Who is buying all these damn Spider-Man games?

With 9 months or a bit more of development, no way there will be an open world
I wish they'd give the franchise to Next Level, I wonder how they will handle a serious Spider-Man game seeing how nicely they handled Captain America

And rehashed combat

I pirate them, and proud to do so

How are you pirating a PS3 game? Didn't know it was possible at this point in time.

XBOX360 & PC games can be pirated easy
But I won't be getting any new Spider-Man games from Activision, or from Sega if the franchise moves to them later.

SD combat was rehashed for the recent fine game (better than SD imo), but with the annual release plan they have I expect more combat rehashes, more rehashed BG's, etc

And here I was going to buy EoT. No I'll wait.

Rent it, EoT is a nice fun game

Did you forget about Spidey 2, Ultimate, Spidey 3, and WoS? All of those were rushed products, two of which were also movie liscense games slated to come out quickly during their respective film's release, and they all managed to be sandbox games.

The real problem is the fact there'll hardly be any interesting content to fit in the game if they go with that direction. It'd probably be just another city-roaming game with random crimes here and there along with the story and nothing much else.

I mean, out of all the sandbox games thus far, Spidey 3(the ps3/360/pc version) was the only one to have some(and by some, I mean barely any) diversity. That didn't excuse the gameplay's clunkiness and other issues of course, but still...

The movie games at least had more than a year and a half of development, WoS was in collaboration between Shaba and Treyarch, USM was simple, but it was their city, they managed to get control of their designs

Spidey 2 has a bit more diversity in street missions, same goes for the PS2 version of SM3
If you don't mean story content

Doubtful. Despite the lengthy amount of time between each film's release, that doesn't mean they were given the go-ahead to start producing the games early. They possibly had slightly over a full year at the least.

Games like Wolverine Origins are the exception, but that game was never meant to be a movie tie-in to begin with. It was originally going to be a stand alone game, hence the longer development.

That may have given a greater boost and a more speedy development so i'll give you that.

I don't quite get what you're saying here. Yes, they managed to produce the city, isn't that what my whole point is: being able to make that in such a small amount of time?

Treyarch polished their town and edited it for that game.
Beenox worked from scratch for SD, and recycled some of its own made stuff on EoT, devs don't seem to recycle what other devs did

Ultimate Spider-Man's city was mostly a revamp, it wasn't just taking the old Spidey 2 one and changing its style, there was certainly more work put in than that. Not to mention the addition of Queens as well.

Also, I know Beenox has been using the same engine for their two games. Heck, I predicted they'd go with that direction before EoT even came out. Not to mention I stated it in the first post that, to be safe and to have a more polished game, they'll probably do that again and wind up building off their already existing engine and mechanics for the ASM game.

What? No way

I won't be turning this down now, no way no day

Haha, see, they can do sandbox. =)

Let's hope it doesn't turn out half-assed or has a lack of content then.

And really good graphics.
I hope I can look forward to this with eager and not be disappointed, I received no news less than good about it in this past day, nothing negative so far, I hope they can keep it that way
With all their faults (mostly SM3), movie Spidey games turned to be the best of the bunch (if only movie 1 game wasn't slow, I'd include it here)

Lack of content?

Hahaha, no they did not.

In control they are the best, and most fun to me as full games, except the first movie game, and SM3 on the PS2

Shattered Dimensions is not a good game, and it's your favorite, so leave me with my opinion

That does not make the games fun. If you find the first Spider-man movie game fun then you have no idea what makes a fun game or you are a kid and the third one is a mess, no matter what console it's on. The handheld versions of SM3 sucked, the Wii and PS2 versions of SM3 sucked and the PS3 and 360 versions of SM3, once again, sucked. Just because the game looked prettier and had a higher budget on the the newer consoles does not mean it was not critically denounced as crap or mediocre and even fans of Spider-Man and people who have only watched the movies thought the game was not great by any means.

The only Spider-Man movie game to receive critical praise from both reviewers and fans alike is the second one, for the most part the movie games are awful and are used as an example of why movie games are usually terrible (With the obvious exception of 2).

I would if your opinion about the movie games was more of an opinion and less of a sweeping generalization. I don't care if you don't like Shattered Dimensions, I honestly don't. You're allowed to like what you like and how you like it but don't think someone's not going to call bullshit on your opinions when you make comments like "The Spider-Man movie games were generally the best" because that's just stupid.

The fact that it's open world means I might give it a chance. The only reason to actually buy Spider-Man games is to swing around a big open city.

After finishing it 30 times, watching a million video reviews who say something not there and not showing what they complain right, and stuff, Spider-Man 3 is a good underrated game, with reviewers not knowing how to receive it right, and they complain about some stuff in it ignoring them in games they drool on and worship

Quote :

The handheld versions of SM3 sucked

gameboy Advance is alright, DS sucks

Quote :

the Wii and PS2 versions of SM3 sucked

They are still better than Shattered Dimensions, that one really sucks

Quote :

Underrated, flawed, received the biggest amount of BS complaints. I finished the game many times, share some complaints, saw some complaints that are there in some copies non-existing in others, but those good complaints are only 15% of the general complaints, the rest are bullshit

SM2 game is great, SM3 is better in some stuff, lesser in others, but it's great and more fun

Right now it's an opinion, now leave things as they are or I'll start making generalization of my opinion. You make your opinion of games a generalization if you haven't noticed

SD is the best Spider-Man game to date

This is how you said it, and lets be honest here
12 levels you do the exacts same fucking thing; "Chase after boss and beat cronies, fight boss and let him escape, do the same process again. During that time you should save civilians to open doors for you, beat the ass of hordes of enemies force feeding you shit to protect them while they serve you"
Not to mention the Tron imagery in the Electro level and SM2099 levels
Plus, "Last fight you have to consume Mysterio's full health bar four times in a row" ASM & USM need to fight hordes of enemies to beat the final boss. Noir walks a ridiculously long distance, SM2099 has to break the fishbowl 3 consecutive times.

So if an actually good game sucks to you, and an actually terrible game is your favorite, good for you. If you force your opinion as a fact to me and piss on my opinion like i gave it as if it was a fact, don't bother me, now tata, go away, leave me in peace and everyone is happy, don't turn this to an argument thread.

if you have something to say about the new game go ahead, if you don't think you'll like it go away and everyone is happy, simple as that

I can enjoy good Spider-Man games not open world, but swinging has always been the biggest appeal about them to me
Have you played Shattered Dimensions? Asking seeing how you noted people here about it

Dr. Faust, why is your opinion so bad?

Some prefer Picasso, others prefer Van Gogh
I step away from both and love Rembrandt more. My opinion mine, your opinion is yours

And what does a person with thoughts toward all movie based games are such as yours do in a thread dedicated to such matter?

Your opinion would be more respect if you literally didn't just denounce the opinions of several reviewers and fans alike in such a way as "Their opinions are shit, mine is the only good one". You are not respect because you're a fucking idiot and don't have anything remotely close to an actual opinion for hating something other than "Oh my god, it follows a formula, allow me to hate on it while other games do that exact same thing and I praise them for it."

I mean jesus christ, it's a good thing idiots like you don't run the gaming industry or else there would be nothing but shitty movie games coming out of the woodwork.

I haven't played Shattered Dimensions or Edge of Time.
