Yeah I agree, and I feel like there has to be a line you draw.

Do we want this to look really cool and cinematic, or do we scale back a bit so the player can control this? It's an interesting conversation and I think it happens all the time at these big studios.

I can think of a few ways the player could have stopped the crane, but that's a lot of trust that you're giving, and would they be able to think of it on the spot? It sucks because if you make it interesting and something that requires some thought, the player could fail and totally fuck the scenes momentum. Damn, game design is hard.

The thing with most of Uncharted's set pieces are they are things that are happening to you that you just kind of have to survive which is why its easy to mostly just assign things to the sticks. With Spider-man, he has to be proactive during the setpiece because he's a superhero. He has to prevent the crane from falling on people, he doesn't have to just survive the sequence.

I wonder if this will show up at PSX this year or will they go into hiding like last year. It would be 6 months from now and close to 2018 so I think they would be able to have a firm date. Maybe a trailer with the actual release date slapped on at the end?

Am I the only one who thinks making gameplay be kind of Persona like would be amazing? Like you go to school, take tests, do social activities mixed in with genuinw Spider-Man missions.

I can't recall the thread, but it was one of the ones that was actually spectating a triple AAA Spider-Man game because of the rumors that got out.

A Persona Spider-Man game was one of the idea commonly brought up. If Insomniac did their own take on that it'd would likely be amazing.

Was saying in the other thread, in regards to how much attention - both in trailer views and excitement from mainstream non-gaming audiences - this is getting, Marvel never got their Arkham Asylum equivalent, and we haven't had a truly great superhero game in nearly a decade besides the Arkham series. And in the meantime, superhero games and tie-ins have become mostly mobile games, Lego games, and Telltale games.

So combine the rarity of a massive budget AAA superhero game, with it being about Spiderman and in the vein of the current king of the genre due to the Arkham influences, and you got an event that interests enthusiasts and general audiences alike

Yup, anecdotal but I'm seeing it all over FB.

Yup I love lil small details like that i didn't catch it at the conference watched it later that night like o he did save him.

yeah, even if the game turn out mediocre, I think just seeing Spider-Man in action and the setpieces alone will probably make me satisfied. I've seen the gameplay demo so many times.

Cute as that may be, I get the feeling that the playable "Peter" sections might just be for expository purposes, where you walk around an area and talk to characters. I doubt they'll be too in-depth.

I dont think it is happening but it would definitely be amazing. Imagine being able to build or ruin friendships with your peers. Spider-Man is the perfect IP for evolved social links.

God damn it, Atlus should just make SMT - Spider-Man. A Spider-Man game where Osborn has created SMT style demons that have grown sentinence and plan to wreck havoc and recreate the world in their image. Spidey would have to save the day with his friends helping him along the way. :|

I'm seeing all of the reasons why it looks like Arkham City redux, but I want to see all of the things that make it different aside from a reskin. For all of the praise City got, I found it mind-numbingly boring about halfway through, and I loved Asylum.

To be fair, Arkham City had a pretty dead world and served more as a backdrop to finding Batman's villains.

Hopefully they show more, but I think the open world will be a bit funner to interact with and explore in this.

I've watched it a bit too many times myself regardless of how it turns out they totally get Spider-Man if nothing else

If the Arkham games invented stealth takedowns and gadgets then so be it, Insomniac should take cues because Spider-Man should be able to do those things

Arkham's biggest innovation was the free flow combat.

All the other stuff was kind of done in games before it, albeit not as well or put together.

Yea, aside from riddler stuff, I never have the intention to explore the world. It's dead, dark and depressing.

They seem to be pushing the concept of Peter and Spider-Man, balanced gameplay whatever that means. They couldn't comment on whether we will be actually playing Peter, but they kept emphasizing on him out of his suit.

Yes, they showed the primary villain in the first gameplay demo, in fact it was the final mission and Spidey webs Mr. Negative up seconds after it cut, and then the final credits roll.

I hope to God they arent going to
kill Pete and have Miles take up the costume and fight the final boss. I guess it's OK but I really want them both to have their own Decent Games. Maybe they will team up and no one has to die?
Click to expand...
Please no. Peter is 100 times more interesting than Miles. Miles can have his own game as long as Peter gets his as well. This game will end up being one of the best games next year, I can feel it. Wish the OG costume was there though :\

Hope they add a bit more speed for web slinging, only minor complaint so far.

I don't think he will be. They mentioned that Spider-Man takes down Kingpin early in this game and then a vacuum is created in the underworld of who is gonna take over. I imagine characters like Tombstone and other mob like Spider-Man villians will show up in this.

miles was the one that rescued the helicopter , so there's two spider mans?

I am glad there are actually regular people on the streets in this game unlike Arkham.
Click to expand...

The director spoke about this in the IGN interview, how important it was to showcase that there are actual civilians on the streets going about their day. He was specifically mentioned the crane scene with the people looking up at it and then later the Helicopter tail crashing through the streets, he said that if there was no one in the streets it would just be destruction so it was important to make the stakes feel real.

When I think about Arkham City and Knight, you never got that sense of heroics because well there was no one around really in danger during those moments.

Hello Dick.

In the trailer thread for it, you had people making posts "Mr. Negative is the primary villain!"
so assuming he was is nothing out of the ordinary! But continue being a dick on the internet if it makes you feel better about yourself!

They didn't invent stealth takedowns. Unless you're specifically talking about from overhead; then possibly. Gadgets though? No way. Plenty of games existed long before that gave you many ways to take down enemies. Also, what "gadgets" would Spider-Man use other than a camera, a tracer and his web shooters? He was never Batman in the comics and it makes zero sense to magically give him a bunch of random items to use simply to make it even more of a copy. About the only time he used anything outside of those three things was when Tony Stark gave him a Spidey version of the Iron Man suit. Peter might be a genius, but almost everything technical he uses is in a lab.

You're simply wrong if this is what you think.

Also, lmao at him using gadgets suddenly makes him Batman.

C'mon son.

Hopefully they include alternate costumes. Give me the 90's red and blue suit and the symbiotic black suit.

Edit: apparently this is confirmed? Anyone have a link?

Miles and Peter never interact at first. Miles got bitten by experimental spider some time after Peter Parker is active as Spider-Man but Miles never tried to go out and be Spider-Man. when Peter died, that's when Miles step up and try to be a hero.

there's more of that of course like how he got bitten, his family situation etc. I think it's a pretty cool origin story.
