Holy pop-in. Did they think no one would notice?

First thing I saw then couldn't unsee.

 

[cb1115]

Looks like they could be on to something with the swinging. Wish it looked more fluid though.

I'm a sucker for Spider-Man games, so I'll probably pick this up at some point. Assuming it's not total junk, anyway.

 

[Appollowexx]

Holy pop in!

Web swinging looks fun, everything else looks like trash.

 

[qa_engineer]

Wow this looks so bad. 1/10, will not buy.

 

[Ridley327]

Hate how loose and floaty everything looks, especially when he lands after swinging. Those suits looked nice though.

I really wish they'd ditch the movie stuff and do original games like Arkham.

Given what's been happening with the Marvel license this year, especially with the impact it's had on Activision's older games, that is likely not an option for them any longer.

Holy pop in!

What does pop in mean?

 

[HueyFreeman]

This is probably as good as Beenox can do, and some components look great. IP really needs to go to a better developer though. I mean, FFS.

 

[rdrr gnr]

The movie still will be worse than the game.

 

[Ahasverus]

*Psst*

Spoiler

Activision's the publisher, not the developer.

Guess who gives them budget consisting a mint, a button and a target coupon

Seriously, the same fucking map (that is absolute trash) for 12 fucking years is embarassing.

 

[Xater]

Holy shit this game looks bad. Especially the excessive amount of pop in. After having played Infamous Second Son this looks like hot garbage.

This better runs at 1080p 60fps on current gen at this graphical fidelity.

 

[War Raichu]

What are the odds that all of the costumes are unlockable in-game and not dlc/pre-order bonuses?

Anyway, the swinging mechanics look pretty great, but I think I'll wait for a price drop.

I imagine most of the costumes shown there are unlockable. I know for sure one of them is, since the footage from GDC showed it's story-related.

Hopefully the only DLC costumes are the Gamestop preorder bonus ones

 

[Skilletor]

What does pop in mean?

It's when you can see objects/textures suddenly appear as you move. Watching the vid, lots of trees and cars pop up as you move.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

let someone other then beenox make a damn spiderman game for the love of all thats holy

 

[MickeyPhree]

That really looks like crap.

 

[AgentOtaku]

So lifeless, wow. It's a shame they can't make a good game out of this license with like their 4th (5th?) try

Wasnt ASM prett okay though?

That being said, yes PLEASE give this franchise to another damn studio already

 

[Spira]

They should hand Spider Man over to Sucker Punch.

The game looks okay.

 

[Huggers]

good god that looked like shit. Haven't seen pop in on that level since I last fired up GTA 3

 

[Defuser]

Everyone is chasing that Arkham money.

Is Shaba games the only dev that got the spidy combat right? Everyone should follow Web of Shadows combat when making a spider-man game.

 

[R1CHO]

I want this Spiderman costume, maybe dlc.

 

[fernoca]

Doesn't look bad and liked the whole playing as Perter thing. Though I just got Second Son and it's downloading right now; so I guess that will be my "superhero game" for this months.

 

[itzknickknac]

Wow, I'm actually hyped for this game. Don't care how beautiful the graphics has to be, this is the first movie based game to actually look fun and not so straight forward.

 

[B_Spooky13]

meh looks like any other Spider-man game. Honestly looks like a last gen crossover

 

[Levito]

They never will top that Spider-man 2 game from 2004, will they?

 

[cacildo]

The movie still will be worse than the game.

True

They never will top that Spider-man 2 game from 2004, will they?

I blame the lack of missing balloons

 

[FaintColt388301]

Dang, I would love to see Sucker Punch do a Spiderman game

 

[Furyous]

This gives me a hope that one day Marvel gives fans the Scarlet Spider game starring Kaine set in Houston. Modify these swinging Mechanics and give Kaine Batman's moves as a template in initial design.

This game looks great. I'm not a graphics expert so take that into account.

 

[Chamber]

This game coming off Infamous.

 

[Trigger]

They never will top that Spider-man 2 game from 2004, will they?

No, and that's pretty sad given how solid a foundation it is for future games.

 

[puffyshirt]

The visuals during the actual stealth mission looked much better than the open world stuff.

I dunno, game looks like a solid 6. The swinging looks fun enough, so I'll pick it up for $20 just to get a fleeting glimpse of the rush I want in a SPider-Man game.

And you all need to take off your rose-tinted glasses regarding Spider-Man 2. Aside from the swinging, which was amazing, that game suuuuucked.

 

[Wensih]

I'm excited for it.

 

[DryvBy]

How far off is the release? Couldn't hear anything and had to stop the video.

 

[dreamfall]

Well, I'll probably end up buying it for the PS4 just to mess around with Remote Play web-swinging.

But it definitely looks last gen- in both visual detail, and gameplay design. The pop-in is pretty ridiculous, and the fact that the New York City map looks so lifeless doesn't surprise me. I don't think Beenox will ever top their Shattered Dimensions Spidey game, but I enjoyed the first Amazing Spiderman game. The sense of flight from cloud swinging was still a ton of fun.

I really wonder if a developer will ever create a Spiderman game that really captures the superhero's essence. To do with it what Rocksteady did with Batman. I don't know.

 

[UrbanRats]

They should just go the WBgames route and stop doing cheap tie ins, and do a proper, high budgeted SpiderMan game, like they did for Batman Akrham series.

I mean this game looks like it could be decent fun, but the obvious lack of polish in basically every area is painfully obvious and ruins what could've been a great open world super hero game.

Finally physical web swinging is back, tho.

 

[Twilightzoney]

This looks better then Spiderman 2's mission styles already. Web Swinging looks great and he has those cool little animations when he gets off the webs. The pop in is a an issue but I won't mind if I can set things to max quality on PC. Costume choice they showed in there was kinda poor selection of costumes the ones I don't like to talk about.

The game seems great for(a movie game) only 2 years dev time was it? I forget how long they had with it. But also in the first ASM game he was in Stan Lee's apartment, I guess he couldn't pay for rent and had to move back home with Aunt May.

 

[Violence Jack]

This is PS4? The character models look rather hideous. I like the web-slinging though.

 

[Oshimai]

This game coming off Infamous.

Lol. I actually thought the game looked aight. But now that you mention this, I'd like to see what Sucker Punch could do with the Spider-Man property.

 

[blueplancha]

They never will top that Spider-man 2 game from 2004, will they?

I love that that game is the one Spider Man game I just so happened to get. Had no idea it would be so critically acclaimed in the long run.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

Spidey games almost always pull me in. I couldn't watch the hd version of the video on my phone, so I can't see how bad it really looks.

 

[mgarnica89]

Say what you will about Web of Shadows, but it had decent combat and it wasn't tied to a movie. That is what i want. Having your game tied to a movie never works.

Exceptions to the rule are: Any tie in game before N64, Some Star Wars games, Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and GoldenEye 007.

 

[civilstrife]

Oh, it's not that bad.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Yeah, assuming the rest of the game is at least decent, I'll probably pick this up eventually. The swinging and wall sticking freedom was enough to sell me.

 

[DXLelouch153]

eh ill preorder it
why not?
im double dipping for Dark Souls 2 for PC, so might as well
plus it has Spiderman 2's web swinging

 

[TheChits]

I think Spiderman 2 is one of if not the best Spiderman game

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Huh, I actually liked what I saw. Peter Parker mode yay.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

That was really off-putting.

 

[MastaKilla]

The gameplay looks like it could be some fun, but goodness is this an ugly game right now. Is there a release date?

 

[mgarnica89]

eh ill preorder it
why not?
im double dipping for Dark Souls 2 for PC, so might as well
plus it has Spiderman 2's web swinging

i dont think it has Spider-man 2's web swinging. If you remember 2 had a very physics based swing, With momentum and acceleration. This swing looks a little mundane compared to it. Also you could just hang on a web at anytime if you just stopped swinging. In this game it appears it forces you off that web at the end of the swing.

 

[casnix]

Hmmm. I might have to check this game out.

Lol. I actually thought the game looked aight. But now that you mention this, I'd like to see what Sucker Punch could do with the Spider-Man property.

That or an X-Men game.

 

[Warewolf]

Oh yeah, yep. I'll be taking a swing at this. Definitely.

 

[flaxknuckles]

Also i hate the new web slinging, who cares if he was swinging from the sky in the first game?, it was fun but now you have to pick buildings to swing from and i there are no buildings nearby then you're can't swing. It doesn't sound fun.

I know a lot of people hated the fact that you would swing from nothing in the first game but I liked it. Watching this makes it seem like swinging high above the city isn't possible, something I loved to do, enjoying the view.

I am foaming at the fucking mouth


Anyway, they got what I wanted right which was the web swinging. I hope they have a copious amount of trick races and random mission variety. I couldn't care less if the main mission ends up terrible (though it looks decent). This game will last me a long time just swinging around beating people up. Pop-in I suspect will still be a problem on the PC which is gonna suck.

And what's with everyone shitting on Beenox? You know how Activision does. Give a dev only a short amount of dev time to make a AAA game and this is what you get even with a talented developer. Look at what happened when High Moon was forced to shit out Deadpool and Dark Of the Moon.

EDIT: Sucker Punch hasn't shown they can make a superhero game with a combat system that isn't just shooting stuff. If you want a Spider-man TPS with boring side missions and a 3 hit melee system then they are the ones to call.
