Community : Discussion List - Discuss: Spider-Man Games

Will we get a sequel to TASM?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 12 May 2013 18:20:02 GMT

What do you guys think? Beenox has been quite quiet the last few months (overlooking the WiiU release) and now with the next gen consoles coming out Q4 2013/Q1 2014 one could think that they can finally deliver justice to the Spider-Man movie tie-in games and build on the foundation they have laid out with TASM Game.

I hope we soon get more info on upcoming projects (preferably ASM2, I mean the movie is already in production and AFAIK TASM game info was first spotted early 2011?).

On a side-note, anyone still playing TASM? I'm about to start all over, this time not touching on any of the side-missions so I can get a backup of the savegame once the story is done (then it's easier to play the game again when I have all side-missions available without having to finish the story again).

Sorry for posting a speculation topic, I check this board nearly every day with hopes of seeing someone post in here. I just love Spider-Man games and I hate to see this discussion area die. I'd rather see speculation/idea topics than have this discussion area completely die down.

Next Spider-Man: The Core Gameplay

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 20:24:48 GMT

I think, without a doubt in my mind, people play video games to take a walk in a character's shoes. Escapism. Don't get me wrong, there are quick "I'm just killing time" games, and "I want to have fun with my friends" games. Though, I think that a single player comic book character-based game is meant to make you feel like you are that character. Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, have shown what it's about and how to do it. Not in terms of copying that gameplay, but in following the structure.

This is not a post to discuss specific ideas for the next Spider-Man game. This is a topic discussing what the core gameplay is.

Personally, I think Arkham Asylum/City break down to six things: Plot, Characters, Abilities/moveset, Gameplay, Side Gameplay and Extras.

Plot:

A story that is taken seriously, and deeply involves the main character we are playing as. Essentially it should answer "Why am I playing this?" and "What do I have to do here?" A good Spider-Man game should have a reason that Spidey is doing what he does, while at the same time allowing us to make our own choices as him. You're presented with a problem and have to come up with your own ways of solving that problem. The actual "plot" should only drive you along to do those things. Characters making choices and doing things, causing you to respond.

Characters:

People like seeing their favorite characters. Even generic enemies should generally be interesting. The thugs of the recent Batman games are not pushovers. You truly get to feel like Batman, so they're not too tough in comparison, but they will kill you if given the chance. They also talk about interesting things and make it seem like a real world. Small details like simply discussing larger more mainstream characters like The Joker, Harley or Two-Face.

Spider-Man's enemies should offer interesting insight on those they work for. To assume that a villain working for Black Cat is not going to say anything when she leaves the room is silly. Likewise for any other character. And then the main characters should definitely have an on-screen prescence. Doc Ock appearing should definitely make the player nervous for a moment. However your abilities, should give you the confidence to not back down.

Abilities:

More than just fancy tricks, spidey's moves should be useful and multi-faceted. Web should be something that spidey uses for a reason, not to just spray all over town. Especially if we're to believe that he has web shooters and not organic webbing. Developers rely too heavily on the web. His mode of travel should be Le Parkour/Free Run/Urban Ninja with web swinging as an alternative. Again, I'm NOT saying take web swinging out or anything, I'm just saying that as a character he should feel adequate without it. Did any of you ever try playing these games without swinging? Very boring, very slow. It shouldn't feel that way.

In the Batman games you can grapple or glide, and they both have their own uses. In future Spidey games, swinging might get you there faster, but running and jumping might have it's advantages too.

Also, in Batman, you get "Detective Mode" and other ocular abilities, they help you see through walls or find special things. The problem was easily summarized: "Why turn it off?" However, one of the things that Rocksteady did for Arkham City was to not only give you more modes, so that you don't rely on just one, it also made the visuals become somewhat confusing if you left it on. There was a REASON to turn it off. Spider-Man's gameplay should be interesting without relying on specifics movesets or abilities.

Gameplay:

Spider-Man games should be more than...

Introduction of level>Horde of Generic Baddies>Next Room>More Generics>Next Room>A puzzle that a baby could figure out> Sub Boss>Generics>Boss.

Sadly, that's how it's felt for a while in Spidey games. For a super powered being with a genius level intellect, he should be doing more than punching his way through enemies. Why not allow players to do more things that use his brain or powers without relying on any specific one? For example: a level that needs you to master sticking to walls and not touching the ground? Maybe a level that needs spidey to swing accurately? The original Spider-Man game for N64, Dreamcast and PSX did not rely heavily on hordes of enemies or specific abilities to tell the story.

Side Gameplay:

As I said above...Escapism. No one wants to be forced to do one thing for hours on end. Batman games have recently let players Collect Riddler Trophies, Solve Puzzles, Look for clues and easter eggs, Explore the unlocked areas and backtrack, collect audio recordings, look for "chatter teeth", etc etc..It wasn't just about the plot, and Arkham City added even more things. both games also implemented alternate costumes. So let's translate that to Spider-man. Fans keep talking about costumes, including the original outfit and Peter Parker, but they'd also like random crimes to go on unlimited. Why not make those crimes more in depth? I say take a cue from every single Spider-Man game yet:

-Fires you have to rescue people from.

-Falling off of buildings

-Gangs

-Gang fights

-Gangs breaking into rooftops

-Gang Tours

-Destruction. If there's a bad guy that's playable, or even as Spider-Man himself. And like when you played as Venom in USM, he'd have to run from SHIELD or maybe have a random boss fight with another hero like Ironfist, Daredevil, Elektra or Luke Cage.

-Thieves breaking into stores and rooftops

-Races

-Races against other famous characters

-Randomly generated boss fights

-Speeding cars

-Hurt pedestrians from car accidents

-Children and Teenagers(instead of balloons, maybe they'd like Spidey to perform tricks. they could take the place of the Hot air balloon and TRICK RACES)

-Photos around the city for special reports (Like with chang)

-Photos for the Bugle

-Dates (Like you have to meet MJ or whomever somewhere and so you have to get there on time, or sometimes she wants you to just swing her around)

-Pizza Delivery (This could easily be changed into something else)

-City Tokens

-Landmark Tokens

-Spider-Logos you have to get photos of to unlock costumes

-Stores that upgrade and unlock things

-Your apartment to switch costumes and replay levels, talk to Gwen/MJ

-Movie theater to view cutscenes

-Talk to other characters (like in Web of shadows)

That would be an awesome combination of all the free-roam Spider-Man games. And is about equal with what you can do with any other free roam game like GTA or Saints Row.

Extras:

I think people would like the same extras that any other game offers. Let's take a look:

-Extra Costumes available on the disc from day 1

-Playable Characters (Unlockable is fine, even DLC is fine...Even costumes that give you different powers could fit under this, just change up gameplay)

-Figurines with audio. People like the character designs and want to look at the characters without having to play the game again.

-Unlockables. (Moves, skills, upgrades, comic books, alternate endings)

-Easter Eggs in-game

-Cameos and guest appearances

That would be, to me, the core gameplay necessary for any future Spider-Man free-roam games. And these are all things that players have gotten in other games. Even other Spider-Man games. So why not put it all together? It is more profitable to make a game that fans want, than to make sub-par games over and over.

Hey. This blog is about The ideas from Spidey Fans like you for The next Spider-Man game! Share your ideas,storyplots,gameplay elements,suits,& what Beenox should do for more spidey games. SO START SHARING IDEAS

How come no one liked Web of Shadows?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 00:44:46 GMT

I don't get it. I see a lot of negativity aimed at this game. I thought it was one of (if not) the best Spider-Man game I ever played. But not that many people were into it and then they never made a sequel and skipped ahead to two other titles and a movie based one (which is fine since I knew it was going to happen anyway). So, what's the deal? Where did the game go wrong for people?

PS3 Save game Problem

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 08:28:40 GMT

I didn't have a single bug in TAS till now. Yesterday I finished chapter 7 but now I can't continue my save game.

There is no "continue" option in the main menu, I can only start a new game. I always copy my save game to

a USB drive but even this one is not working.

I was so happy that the save games are not copy protected so I can make a back up but now I'm just frustrated.

Anybody has the same issue on PS3 or XBox?

Requests For the Devs

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 00:57:27 GMT

Conversations regarding requests for developers should be placed in this thread. Please note that while we may pass these suggestions on to the developers, it does not necessarily mean that they will be implemented into any patches, DLC, or potential future games.

The Amazing Spider-Man Game engine

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 11:50:34 GMT

Hello i wonder which game engine is used for The Amazing Spider-Man game? Was it unreal engine 3 or beenox has some special engine? Thx

Proposal

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 07:14:33 GMT

[This is for the fans and the devs. Please read through and tell me what you think, I've been thinking on this a long time. Also I give up any creative rights of these concepts to Activision, Marvel and whomever they decide will be the next developer team (be it Beenox or Shaba or whomever) if they want to use any of this. (Not that I have to clarify that, but why not?)]

Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt

Xbox 720(Supposedly code named Kryptos/Durango)

Playstation 4 ("Thebes")

Players:

1----->Local

2----->Online (See, "Multiplayer")

Available Characters:

~Playable:

Spider-Man: Plays similar to The Amazing Spider-Man game. His default appearance is that of Shattered Dimensions Classic Red/Blue.

Black Cat: Similar control style, but different visuals for moves. Her default appearance is that of "Evil That Men Do".

~Villains:

Mysterio(Ultimate), Venom(Classic/Mcfarlene), Carnage(Classic), Hobgoblin(Green Goblin is available via a skin/palette swap. Both in their classic/80's appearances), Doppleganger, Shriek, Electro(MUA2), Rhino(classic), Kraven(classic). Kingpin and The Hand(DLC), Bullseye(DLC, classic)

~Heroes/Summons:

Firestar, Daredevil(DLC, classic red), Elektra(DLC, classic), Venom(if not fighting him currently in-game), Black Cat/Spider-Man (whichever one you aren't playing as.)

~Appearances: (characters that may be in a cutscene, or located on the map, but don't fight in-game)

Harry Osborn(current), Mary Jane Watson(classic), Gwen Stacy(Ultimate/goth), Aunt May(Ultimate), Carlie Cooper, J. Jonah Jameson, Max Modell and The Lucky Seven, Norman Osborn, Black Widow(WOS), SHIELD Operatives, Matt Murdock

Gameplay:

~Overall:

The game has an open world/free-roaming concept. The map returns to the size of Spider-Man 2, with indoor and outdoor areas available at any time on the sandbox map. Gangs, hidden hideouts, and many of the side missions from Spider-Man 2 also make a return. Included is a special feature called Random Villain Encounters. This is where the map will show a random appearing crime marked in yellow on the map, (story missions are green, stores are blue, random crimes are red). If you go to the yellow marked location, you will find a randomly generated villain causing trouble. It could be Mysterio, Venom, Carnage, Hobgoblin (or Green Goblin really just a skin), Doppleganger, Shriek, Electro, Rhino or Kraven (once the game is beaten). These characters have increased health, and are as tough as sub-boss fights.

To clarify about above...RVE's, Car crashes, fires, gang fights, police standoffs, children asking spider-man/Cat to do tricks, teens asking him/her to beat certain times, people needing to go to the hospital, car chases, break ins, and secret gang hideouts are some of the "Random crimes" that happen. These are generated randomly, and infinitely throughout the city. Even after beating the game you can keep going.

Time of day passes on it's on. Also a "clockwork" feature allows weather to change based on the console's inner clock.

The combat system is reminiscent of the Rocksteady Studios-developed Batman game series (Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City) using a freeflow design and counter attacks, with the similar controls as The Amazing Spider-Man. The aerial moves from Spider-Man 2 return!

Depending on the mission, the player may have the option of using "Summons" like in Web of Shadows. Each Mission is available concurrently after completing Chapter 1. Chapter 0 is automatic, when the game begins. Experience points from missions,dates and from collecting spider tokens augment the upgrades purchased at stores. See below about stores.

~Peter Parker:

By visiting stores, Peter Parker (and only as Parker) can buy combat moves, "Summon" Upgrades and other upgrades with cash from photo missions. As Peter Parker, you can't do story missions. You can visit comicbook stores for the above mentioned upgrades, or family/friends for help/hints.Spider-Man can change into Peter Parker and back into Spider-Man at various areas marked by a web bookback, throughout the map.

*Dates and Mini-Games (Optional)

The "story" is chapter based and so the continuity is up to the player. Whether it's "Ultimate", "Amazing" (current or past), or a hybrid. So that means that Peter is available to play as and can visit Horizon Labs or The Daily Bugle. You can do photo missions at the bugle or do a mini game at Horizon Labs, or both. Likewise, "dates" are available for MJ, Gwen or Carlie Cooper. As Peter, you go out to dinner and they quiz you on the Marvel Universe. MJ focuses on Spider-Man questions, Gwen on Peter and his life, and Carlie on the overall Marvel Universe.

Like Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the correct answers award you EXP, completing a whole date with 100% accuracy awards bonus EXP. After five succesful dates, whom you've been dating becomes your girlfriend. So, for example, if you date MJ 5 times then you can no longer date Gwen or Carlie. You can however, go to visit MJ at her apartment for advice or hints. And her apartment works like your own: replay old missions, review cutscenes, look at virtual figurines, change costumes, etc.

~Costumes:

The game uses a unique damage system—the more damage Spider-Man takes, the more his suit is damaged; returning to his apartment or changing into Peter Parker repairs the suit. Each chapter features a specific costume to be worn that could be unlocked once that chapter is finished. Those costumes are featured below beside the chapter title. If you visit your apartment, your can change costumes and return to the chapter, if you'd like to wear a different suit or armor.

~Black Cat: (Note: The controls for BC work the same, but obviously she's not stick to walls, it's her nails. And instead of webs, it's a grapple hook)

Black Cat is playable during the third chapter, and can also be unlocked as a sandbox playable character. She can't change into Felicia Hardy, but her outfit does take damage. She has to return to her apartment to repair it. The controls all work the same [Except, obviously the camera is replace with binoculars]. Black Cat can stop random crimes, and fight RVE's, however, she has her own mini-games. These take the place of jobs and dates.

*Cops and Robbers: The player has to break into the volt before time runs out.Her cell phone has something called the "Vault Breaking App" which allows her to break into digital locks. This is a mini-game in and of itself for the player to beat. After breaking in and stealing an item, she has to race back to her apartment before Spider-Man catches up to her. If he does, you have to fight Spider-Man (with whatever upgrades you've given him).

*Stealth: You must break into a facility and steal certain objects without being seen. (Like Chang's lab/photo missions in The Amazing Spider-Man)

*Hero for Hire: A cutscene begins where someone explains to you a situation: House on fire, bank robbery, villain destroying an area, gang fight, etc...And offer you a certain amount of money to stop it. If you fail, you obviously get no money. If you were supposed to protect someone, a certain percentage is taken of based on how much damage they've received.

*Black Cat has the Classic, Ultimate, Mangaverse, and Web of Shadows outfits available in comicbook shops to purchase.

~Webbing/Grapple:

The player can switch between, "Web Shooter", sticking to buildings where there is realistic physics, or "Kid Mode" where it's easier and doesn't necessarily connect. This also holds true for Black Cat's grapple. "Web Shooter" mode will shoot a double web in certain instances, to help the player stabilize the character. If playing as Black Cat, she shoots a grapple and so her "swinging" animation is different.

Gang Tours/Multiplayer

Online, you can play game tours which are like the Batman Arkham City/Arkham Asylum Combat Challenges. A room full of enemies, and you select either Spider-Man or Black Cat, and fight your way through.

Story-Mode's Plot: (Each Chapter is only the synopsis of the story. The actual gameplay would be broken up into several sub chapters or parts)

~Chapter 0: Madame Web (*Your default costume available throughout the game is the Shattered Dimensions Classic Red/Blue)

Parker has a lot of challenges ahead of him, and a destiny to continue doing great things for the world. He has always been the underdog, but Madame Web wants to award him for being the hero he's been. She hides spider emblems all over the city. Each one only visible to Parker. Each one he collects awards him extra experience points within the game. And when he's collect all of them he will be ready to face the challenges ahead.

~Chapter 1: Kraven's Last Hunt (Black Suit*)

Broken, defeated and desperate, Kraven tries one last time to defeat Spider-Man. However, this time he's gone insane. He challenges Spider-Man to a fight in public, in Times Square, and appears to shoot him. The news report that Spider-Man is dead, The Avengers are busy, and the Fantastic Four are in another galaxy. It seems like a dark day for the city. Kraven takes the body and buries him in a special coffin. He galavants around New York City dressed as Spider-Man, fighting crimes and kidnaps Vermin. Spider-Man turned out to be drugged by the rifle, and awakes after these events, intent on finding Kraven and finishing what he started. Upon, fighting Vermin and Kraven, Kraven let's Vermin free into the city and tells Spider-Man that he's done, he already won. He shoots himself with the rifle. As the building begins to self destruct, Spider-Man is forced to leave.

~Chapter 2: Flowers for Rhino (Amazing Spider-Man Movie* costume)

With the city unsure if Spider-Man's alive or not, criminals are running wild. Rhino receieves a surgery that makes him super intelligent. He is able to overthrow the criminal underworld of New York City and take control of it. When confronted by Spider-Man, Spider-Man is defeated. However, being intelligent becomes problematic because people like The Kingpin and Osborn fight Rhino for control. While the Rhino is in no danger of losing his social power, it's much more "political" than he thought it would be. It is a much more complicated life, with much more sacrifice to maintain. He opts for a surgery to return to how he was.

~Chapter 3: Ultimate Side (Play as Black Cat, Ultimate or Classic*)

Kingpin killed Felicia Hardy's father and she wants revenge. She intends to kill him. Upon breaking into Wilson Fisk's building, she finds that Mysterio appears to have already done so. Mysterio leaves, but she searches through Kingpin's vaults and finds a "Zodiac Key". Taking it home, thinking that it's worth a sizeable value, she does some research and finds that it holds great power. Mysterio tries to steal it back, and they fight across the city. Near the edge of Manhattan she tries to use it's "Wishing Capabilities" to wish Mysterio away, but unable to wield it properly, she causes a huge explosion instead. Mysterio takes it from her as Spider-Man appears. It becomes a three-way battle, but eventually Spider-Man and Black Cat defeat Mysterio after teaming up. Spider-Man turns the Zodiac Key in to Black Widow and SHIELD for safety.

~Chapter 4: Teamwork (Rubber/electric-proof* suit)

Peter's having trouble emotionally after dealing with Kraven killing himself in front of him and being unable to stop it. He talks to Black Cat. Felicia had something similar happen and she's able to meet up with and console him about it. She tells him of the evil that men do, and why it's the nature of some people. Unfortunately, when they meet up, Electro is causing troubles and they have to take him down. Days later, Electro attacks Spider-Man when he's alone and makes him beg for his life in public to embarass him. Luckily, the city doesn't know if it's the real Spider-Man or still Kraven. He calls up Cat and they combine forces to take down Electro.

~Chapter 5: Medium Carnage (Armored Spider-Man*)

With villains running amok and the city thinking it has no more heroes, riots break out. Cletus Kassady escapes from Ryker's Prison in the chaos and ignites more riots around the city. He gets the normal civilians to attack each other. Spider-Man finds that the source of the problems isn't just Carnage, but Doppleganger, Hobgoblin and Shriek. It's something he can't do alone and needs the help of Venom, Black Cat, and Firestar. Venom helps him, but warns that things haven't changed. The chapter ends with Kingpin making Venom a mysterious offer.

~Chapter 6: Destiny (This chapter is only unlocked after finishing Chapter 3 and 5, you can play as Spider-Man or Black Cat, finishing this chapter unlocks WOS Black Cat and Noir Spider-Man)

Kingpin apparently survived Mysterio's attack, as it was all part of a much bigger plan. They needed to test the "zodiac key" and so they allowed Black Cat to fall for it and loot Kingpin's loft so that she'd think it was her idea. The breakout at Ryker's was caused by Kingpin's goons. They needed a destraction to steal the Zodiac Key back from SHIELD. Kingpin attempts to form a new Sinister Six. Electro, Mysterio, Hobgoblin, Rhino, Venom.. and Kraven! Kraven tricked Spider-Man the way that Mysterio tricked Black Cat. He reminds Spider-Man that he shot himself with the same rifle that he shot Spider-Man with. You can play as Spider or Cat and the other is a "summon" to fight onscreen with you. The whole city is the boss field, and you're up against all six at once.

~Epilogue: Tomorrow..(After collecting all Spider Emblems and beating the main story, Mangaverse Black Cat and Miles Morales are unlocked)

Black Cat and Spider-Man meet up at Felicia's place. He thanks her for all of her help, she says that's what friends are for. She makes a comment about whomever the player chose Parker to date. After talking a bit, they hear a report about gangs becoming more bold. "Gang Tours" are unlocked throughout the city. You can play as Spider-Man or Black Cat or both (with a 'Summon'). When you finish those, there would be a closing cutscene, but the world is still open for the player to play in.

LIzard and preorder dlc

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 00:03:52 GMT

Ok so there's new dlc comin' out that let's you play as the lizard. Cool right? Go around killin' people doin whatever the hell you wanna do. WRONG!!! It's just another stupid time trial like the rhino thing. I mean, come on! Just let us go around killing random people as the lizard!!! Since there's no unlimited crimes let us free roam as the lizard and kill normal people. Maybe you could even get the cops on you! But no another time trial that will just waste your money because you can't free roam as the lizard. And if it turns out you can free roam as the lizard then I'm sorry, but from what I understand it's a time trial. Also, WHERE'S THE LOVE FOR XBOX?!?!?!!?!? Why can't you just release 'em both tomorrow?????? OK so maybe it turns out this lizad thing is slightly fun but it qill just where off and you'll get bored as hell. So maybe, just maybe the developers will ACTUALLY LISTEN TO US and make free roam for the lizard or better yet unlimited crimes for spidey himself!!!!!

Thanks for reading this and if you feel my anger comment below.

P.S. If it's 30 seconds like rhino, oh man, be expecting to hear from me again

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Suggestions and Ideas

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 13 May 2012 15:27:42 GMT

Apparently, there is a sequel to this year's movie set for release in May 2014. I assume that a game will accompany it like before. Using released info, maybe we could tell the developers what we want before pre-production starts.

Day and night cycle
Dynamic weather (rain, snow, sun, cloudy)
Free-roam as Peter without gadgets, and make him a target for random crimes (Can still stick to walls, attack, superjump, and use spider-sense)
Lots of random crimes, but don't make them too repetitive
Simultaneous random crimes (encourages the player to choose the one that is more important, but completing both is possible)
Citizens react to your deeds (if you fail to stop a shooting of 6 people, but save a man from his sinking boat, citizens will say, "Why didn't you stop the shooting? Is one person more important than six?")
Stick/hang criminals to benches, light posts, etc
Make the citizens do more than walk and talk. Make them use their phone, sit at benches, work out at the park, shop, eat/drink while walking
Combat arena (Gears of War-like Horde mode, but with criminals and super-villains)
Able to go to the other islands and visit Brooklyn
Go inside important buildings (Banks, homes, workplace, story-related buildings)
(EDIT 1) No mandatory "safety net" to save yourself at the last second while in freefall. Make it as a option in the gameplay settings.
(EDIT 2) Able to choose between a realistic and normal web swinging mechanic. Realistic makes the webs stick to buildings.
(EDIT 3) Crimes happen in real-time

wheres the new content?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:55:16 GMT

the game was released in what, june. no mention of dlc officialy that i can find anywhere. what about the pre order stuff. surely thats gona be made available. if you guys (the devs) let this game fall flat and collect dust its a damn shame because its so nearly perfect. a game with an environment like this and gameplay pottential should not just be left alone. it should at least have some reason to come back to it once in a while. and while replayable missions is nice, that is not good enough on its own. i loved doing this game but ill be honest, i havnt been back to it since finishing. theres Nothing to do. at the very least can we have some word on the "random crime" situation. that alone would keep me playing. if nothing is done to support this game i believe many gamers will simply move on and when dlc is eventualy done, nobody will still have the game to buy it.

what ever happened to the unlimited crime thing.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:06:42 GMT

back when the game came out it was all over the boards. the fact that the games been advertised with freeroam being back and being one of its selling points, surely it should be the best it can be. it almost is. the one thing that would finish it off is unlimited crime. i must admit, i havnt played this for ages. which is a shame because its an awsome game. but once its done, its done. no reason at all to go back. at least not for a long time untill your ready to play the story again. if we had the crime i can comfortably say i would still be playing this everyday. take spidy 3. it has its flaws but i was still playing that every now and then right up untill asm came out. the team have done such a great job and fallen at the very last hurdle. this could have been THE spidy game but without a reason to go back to it, it just falls ever so short of greatness. i had a look at the rhino dlc and tbh that isnt a worth while purchase because that alone will get boring quick. the lizard stuff doesnt seem to be much more indepth either so i wouldnt get that. unless the crime thing happens. then ill be all over the dlc.

Beenox just doesn't care.

So, I was looking forward to the Amazing Spider-Man as soon as it was announced, but apparantly it doesn't even work with AMD cards. At all.

The PC version has been out for some time, but I was waiting for it to be released on steam. I bought the game only to find it is a broken mess and Beenox has not bothered to address the issue for the months that it has been out. Thank you, for the biggest dissapointment of the year! (If there will be an update, let me know, and I will change my opinion)

At least state the issue in the description of the game on steam, to stop anyone unfortunate enough to own an AMD card from buying it. Thats if you even listen anymore.

(If I seem a bit harsh, you have to understand my frustration. I have been waiting a long time for this)

90% of seekers destroyed

The only thing I have left to do in the game to unlock the 100% completion suit is destroy one last seeker and I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know an easy way to find it?

Can't unlock Negative Zone? (PC)

Hi, I'm playing Amazing Spiderman on the PC, and supposedly the negative zone costume unlocks after you complete all the Xtreme challenges... which I just did. I got the steam achievements for completing them all, but no costume was unlocked for it. How do I get the negative zone costume on Steam then?

LAGS Amazing Spider-Man .... WHERE IS THE PATCH ????

Hello,

Once again, the French customer that I am back to you. Activision Support patch which refers below and should be offered September 12, 2012 is still not available today. The last update AMD ATI 12.9 does not solve the problem ...

The Amazing Spider-Man [PC] - troubleshooting

Hello,

When will there be a patch for that game?

It keeps on running with low FPS and even freezes the entire system!

It should work fine with my rig, but it doesn't even when all the settings are at them minimum.

When will there be a solution?
