I hope this has wall running as well.

Why is the distance city scape still foggy?

I'm not disappointed in a "game's gonna suck" kinda way, but after that Mirror's Edge-inspired trailer to the movie, I was really hoping they'd make this a first-person action game. It'd be a challenge, but the series needs something new.

Same here. I was really hoping for that, and I still think a game heavily influenced by Mirror's Edge will someday prove to be the breakout hit that ME wasn't -- Gears of War to ME's Kill Switch -- and a superhero game seems like a natural fit.

Either way, I really wish they'd give the game the time necessary to properly develop, and an open world game is obviously going to take a good deal of time if you want to give the world any detail and a sense of life.

Of course they'll put the game out alongside the movie whether it's ready or not. Activision should take notes from Arkham City -- the tie-in to the movie with a character as big as Spider-Man is a negative, not a plus, in just about every conceivable way these days.

And really, Spider-Man is quite similar in most incarnations -- movies, cartoons, comics... More so than Batman, I'd think, and as such, they're naturally going to gain from the movies' marketing efforts/popularity and take inspiration from them when it's advantageous to do so, but there is no need to handicap yourself by being attached to it.

A legit AAA Spider-Man game could be every bit as popular as Arkham City. Come on Activision, use your greed for good for once.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this was better than the movie.

Glad they're at least going back to open world style. Spider-Man belongs on those kinds of games.

So how long has this thing been in development? I like Beenox, I really do, but I know their publisher pretty well.

Well it's been in development for over a year and it releases next summer.

Kinda rubs me up the wrong way to be honest.

3 spiderman games in 3 years....it just feels like franchise whoring.

And I have no faith in movie tie in games anyway.

Activision? Franchise whoring? I scoff at the impliation!

 

[Defuser]

Be glad it isn't done by Treyarch anymore considering how bad SM3 and Web of Shadows were(Shaba games did the combat system).
Hopefully Beenox will take WoS's combat system + open world + storytelling and make them perfect

Was looking forward to checking out the web-swinging to see if it looked as fun as it did in Spiderman 2 BUT OH NO THERE'S A MILLION DIFFERENT CAMERA ANGLES IN THE SPACE OF A 30 SECOND LONG TRAILER.

Daaaammmnnn, Activision stepping their game up!

Spoiler

Looks like a HD PS1 game

You meant PS2 right? Or did you mod your PS1 like that other guy modded his PS3 to achieve MAXIMUM GRAPHICS?
