Everything that I've read/seen has gotten me pretty pumped. The last few Spider-Man games were alright, but they got repetitive fast and I feel that the fact they needed to tie into the films was a problem as well. I think that this game could really be great and possibly be a sleeper hit, especially since it's coming out on Oct. 21st (Such a ridiculous Fall lineup this year). I was wondering if anyone else is excited for this game...

Is Anyone Else Extremely Hopeful For This Game?
I'm pretty excited about this. I feel like it being a story independant of the movies will make it a lot better plot-wise. Gameplay, I'm hopeful, because this game is not developed by the same people who made Spider Man-3, and hopefully they've seen the massive failure that that team made and don't want to repeat it.
"Here is a trailer to show it's awesomeness as well!I take it that Wolverine will be playing a large role in this game?"
From what i've seen, it looks like expanded Spider-Man 2 gameplay but without hte need to really parallel the films so they have more room to move. I just wish they had got Christopher Daniel Barnes from the Spider-Man cartoon to do Spidey's voice.
I'm very intersted in this game, yea. At first I was meh about it when I found it that it was another spidey vs symbiote game, but after reading more about it and finding out that the main focus is on combat this time instead of the whole "look you can swing around manhattan!" I'm definitely psyched about it.
I think it's sad that this looks like the first good Spider-Man game in a while, yet it will likely be lost in the crowded day of Oct 21st. Far Cry 2, Fable 2, LBP, Bioshock (PS3)...not to mention you have Dead Space, Saints Row 2 and Socom: Confrontation the week before and plenty more after.
"Kush said:"You do know that this isn't being developed by the same guys who did Spider-Man 3..."Treyarch developed Spider-Man 3 and they are working on Web Of Shadows too including two other devs."
No, Shaba games is working on the PS3/360 version and they have the other developers working on the game for the other consoles. Treyarch has a minimal role, I believe.
I'm mad excited for this game, I hope it doesn't turn out like crap.

"From what I've read he seems to have a decent role in the game. And just to let you know (I see that you're new) ...you should really delete a video if you're going to quote a post that includes a video."
From what I have read, apparently Wolverine will either be your ally or enemy based on your decisions during the game. We'll see how that turns out, eh?
"From what I have read, apparently Wolverine will either be your ally or enemy based on your decisions during the game. We'll see how that turns out, eh?"Well from the trailers it shows Wolverine working with you, but also fighting against you after being taken over with the symbiote. I really think it would have been awesome if he had a huge role in the game and the story had full 2-player co-op. I really love co-op! :)

Ehhhh, I'm not much a fan of sandbox co-op. Me thinks it is better on paper than in practice.
October 21 is unfortunatly the defacto release date for every game this holiday season...
Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Web of Shadows, Fable 2 (for those who for whatever reason care about it,) etc...
I'm going to only be able to get one of these games at launch and wait for the rest for Christmas. I'm thinking I'm going to get Far Cry 2 as my pre-Christmas game. I'm more excited for Fallout 3 but as a jr. in highschool I don't really have time to commit to an RPG. :(
Far Cry 2 still looks bad ass, though! :D
I'm going to wait until Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, and Web of Shadows are all reviewed here before I make my decision. I doubt Web of Shadows will out rank F3 and FC2 but I might as well wait to see. I don't want to make an uninformed purchase.
"That game is gonna be delayed a couple months."
I hope not, but I wouldn't be suprised by this. The game hasn't even been rated by the ESRB and no new coverage has been released in a long time. /cry
"The last good Spider Man game was Spider Man 2, I don't have high hopes for that game even if it turns out good I'll not buy on release, October 21st will be very busy day."
Uhh...
Ultimate Spider-Man?! Why doesn't anyone like that game? :(

"BiggerBomb said:I'm pretty sure BiggerBomb is being ironical."shut ur fase"Woah, woah, woah...relax. Make love, not war. It's probably odd that I didn't find Spider-Man 3 to be awful...or Friend of Foe. I didn't find them great, but I didn't think they were absolute crap either."
But, yeah, Ultimate Spider-Man was definitely inferior to Spider-Man 2. The developers nerfed the swinging mechanic a good amount, and the combat just didn't stick. Plus, once you unlocked Venom as a playable character, there was nothing to do but get shot at.
*shrug*
I agree the trailer looks good...and the visuals for a spiderman game actuually looking good is a new as well, but until some serious gameplay is shown, or more so when it comes out and is reviewed..I'm really not holding hope high just because it is a spiderman game mostly...still I'm sure it will be the best one, even if it does disappoint.
"Kush said:Venom was such a cop out. One thing I particularly hated was the way you could die after getting shot by the police. I know that in pretty much every video game ever, your character has to die and if they never, there would be plenty of complaints about how it is too easy, but Venom is a monster and monsters don't die in such petty ways."BiggerBomb said:I'm pretty sure BiggerBomb is being ironical."shut ur fase"Woah, woah, woah...relax.

"All this Spidey talk is making me want to pull out my Genesis and play some Maximum Carnage! I loved that game back in the day."I have never held you in as high a regard until now.
God bless you for referencing that game.
I'll probably rent it eventually.
I liked the air combat stuff they talked about and the seamless combo transitions you could make.
Hopefully they stick to their word.
"I liked the artistic style of Ultimate Spider-Man. There's always that.Shhhhhhhhh, don't let them bother you Ultimate-Spiderman. They're just jealous.
