Here Comes Another Spider-Man Game

Please webs stick to buildings, PLEASE WEBS STICK TO BUILDINGS! Please.

I hope they didn't show the next-gen version, because some parts of that video (most obviously the enemy goons) looked like a higher-res PS2 game.

I hope they don't try to copy Batman Arkham Asylum combat style. Spiderman had a similar style to AA, but to be a straight copy of what AA did would probably not have good results.

Be your own game Spiderman

I think that's Activision's internal name for it

Neversoft's Spider-Man game was great even if the web-swinging was a bit simple. Treyarch's Spider-Man: The Movie was okay for a licensed game, Bruce Campbell's narration was great and everything else was okay. Treyarch's Spider-Man 2 has probably the best swinging controls in any game, campaign wasn't great but super fun to swing around. Ultimate Spider-Man was okay, they simplified the controls a bit too much but the campaign was decent.

Everything else I can't bring myself to finish, the bar for a good Spider-Man game is way too low these days.

Just sayin' old Spidey needs his Arkham Asylum.

I think the previous game Beenox did wasn't that bad. It was pretty OK in my opinion. It had some great ideas to make the web slinging more fluid, although I had issues with the fact that webbing didn't have to attach to buildings. The bullet-time effect you could trigger to perform those typical Spidey landings was a great addition, so I'm curious how they have progressed since then.

Amazing Spider-Man was pretty good, for a Spider-Man game. Sadly this looks like near identical to that game, down to the animations of the attacks and web swings. Can't say I'm very hopeful for this one.

I definitely want another Web of Shadows. That game was fun.

It's been long enough for me. I'm up for another Spider-Man game.

Also, they really need to bring back the web zip attack thing from Web of Shadow. What an awesome, fun, illogical, and Spider-Man-esque ability.

Yup, same. I don't think I ever actually owned it, but that I instead rented it like every week. I do remember playing the sequel too, but there's not as much as I can remember about that one, beyond it being really hard I think. Though the original I was, like you, absolutely obsessed with, and managed to unlock just about everything.

@yummylee: one of my favorite games as a kid. Must have beaten it half a dozen times and unlocked a ton of the costumes. Never got to playing the sequel though. Ah, the memories....

Aww. Deep down I was hoping it would be called "Another Spider-Man Game".

Steve Blum?

The last one actually wasn't bad either. No one gave it a shot because it's a licensed game, but it's basically Arkham City with swinging.

@juggaloacidman: Spiderman 2 was a great game. Probably the only truly great Spiderman game. So...no.

Wait. I thought Kraven was a bad guy.

I don't know if I'm being tricked again but... The game doesn't look awful. Also, isn't calling SM2 "pretty cool" giving it too much credit?

Just make the web-swinging great and I'm in.

Word.

@korwin: Spiderman 2 was pretty cool. And what was the one where you could dimension hop? Shattered Memories? Or was that a kingdom hearts thing. Anyway that one was decent.

Shattered Dimensions is fucking LEGIT

If someone could make a good Spiderman game, man that would be great.

Shattered Dimensions was pretty fun, albeit kinda restrictive and short. Edge of Time was awful dreck, and I never played ASM1 game, but heard it was pretty decent.
