GameInformer recently got a hold of the newest Spider-Man game for the first three hours. I thought I'd post anything I can dig up on it since there hasn't been a lot of info on the game even though it comes out in under 2 months. If you're looking forward to the game, I recommend finding a copy of the magazine. The screenshots look really great. I'm not sure what it is, but I think the lighting and the details on his suit look real good for a super hero game.
One screenshot features Dr. Connors helping Spider-Man out
Random crimes ( bank heists, muggings, and car chases) are spread throughout the city. I didn't see anything about 'MY BALLOON' though
The game is after the movie. You could potentially have a few things spoiled in relation to Parker and other people featured in the movie since this takes place afterwards. That said, it's the same exact Spider-Man story we've been told a million times before, so it's not like the movie's not already spoiled for any Spider-Man fans.
The game has a built in reader. You can unlock full comic book issues to read in the game such as Amazing Fantasy #15(Spidey's first appearance)
The game tries to capture Spider-Man's lucha libre inspired moveset from the movie.
Near the beginning you'll see capsules with different Spider-Man villains, such as Rhino, Vermin, and Scorpia. Rhino has already been confirmed as a villain for the game and as a Gamestop pre-order bonus mode where you play as Rhino
Been in production for nearly two years
The combat is straight up Batman. There's a melee button and a counter button. When you fill it up, you get to use special attacks like Batman's in Arkham City. Spider-Man also floats with punches like Batman, but GI claims he's far more acrobatic when he does it.
Web zip can be used to get out of a sticky situation and hide. So apparently there is some sort of stealth.
There's a typical experience system for levelling combos and you can find things called web techs that give you new abilities or upgrade them like being able to web people to the wall.
Many of the story missions take place in doors in their own linear levels
Some of the side content involves taking photos of locations, performing tricks for a videographer, and finding comic books.
The citizens will say things to you based on things you've done in the story
Seamus Kevin Fahey(Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and the newer Battlestar Galactica) helped with the story
Web rush slows down time as a sort of Spider Sense. It can be used for moving through Manhattan, but it can also be used in combat.
That's all I got, but the next page has a Lego version of Sinestro and he looks adorable.
