Launch trailer: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1726793/amazing-spider-man-2-video-game-trailer.jhtml

The beginning of the trailer was just a rehash of this:

The first swing upgrade look like they don't actually add any speed. You know what's missing? The speed-blur effect and the bottom of the swing mechanic.

There is no swing-speed upgrade, the boost upgrade is the option to boost your swing via the opposite trigger (like holding the sprint button in SM2/SM3).

The graphics in that trailer were heaps better, PS4/Pc version perhaps?

Gameplay starts 0:28, all before that is void just like their last launch trailer for TASM1. The gameplay part looked pretty much the same as the gameplay videos to me, no big difference.

YouTube link?

YouTube link?

There is none, it's exclusive to MTV at the moment and apparently region locked to the US (can still watch from europe though).

 

[First Avenger]

It does not work on my phone,thanks anyway.

 

[Joshider]

For those interested, in the bio on Peter's suit it says that Gwen made it after the one from the first film got torn to shred by a turbine.

Not trying to be negative but there doesn't appear to be any real upgrades. It's just like the first game. They call them 'upgrades" but all it does is unlock superficial buffs. Like for example the "Web shoot" upgrade. Strength.....? Really?

Where is web yank,web rodeo,grab,air combos, and the cool combo maneuvers? Imo the combat looks so repetitive. And once again the swing system is still automated. What happened to LOOPS,CLIMBING THE WEB,SPINNING AROUND A BUILDING TO GO FASTER? From what I can see the only there really aren't any upgrades to the swing system. I am happy that they game leaked but it saddens me that it looks like they barely added anything new.

Achievement list for the game (includes secret/hidden story ones): http://www.exophase.com/game/amazing-spider-man-2-xbox/achievements/

My thought on the list (heavy movie spoilers):

Spoiler

So gwen makes it in the game I take it, there's no achievement indicating her death which sucks hard IMHO.

Can you hold the jump button and jump really high still?

Can you hold the jump button and jump really high still?

It's hard to tell. Imo it's like they stripped what made the previous games fun from the gameplay and we were left with this game. SM2 had more fun looking and cool combos. It made sense the way the combos were layed out and it incorporated webs into the combos in a realistic way meaning if you use a web in the combo itself you have to press triangle to use it. My favorite move was the move were you could hang opponents from lampposts. I also liked being able to pick up the opponents(web grab) and then do a air-slam.

However...none of that is possible in this game.

I loved the first Spider-Man game, it was so light-hearted and fun. I hate the gritty approaches these games are starting to take. Works for the Batman games, but Spidey doesn't need to be like that.

Not to mention they stripped away what actually worked in the previous games. With that said....

I don't think I want Beenox back again. Shattered Dimensions was a good effort but they didn't even bring back the things from that game that ACTUALLY worked. I actually liked some of the combos in that game. Beenox has proven to me that they don't have what it takes to make the Ultimate Spiderman experience.

 

[Pinkypants]

Good lord, it looks just like the first game.

Gahh...

I'll still give it a chance, I have it on pre order, but still, just kinda let down a bit right now, I'll still play it though.



And is it me or is the swinging reaaaalllyyy sloowwww.

 

[FN Spider-man]

smidders edit your post and same with Joshider I warned everyone about posting links in here you could get those guys stuff taken down

 

[JOE]

I'll be picking mine up Tuesday right after 5 o'clock. Won't be able to play it until late that night or Wednesday after work depending on how tired I am. Still can't believe nothing leaked?

That's pretty damn awesome.

The videos will be taken down anyways, there's always one whiteknight finding them and clicking the report button. It's not like it's hard to find them anyways, a simple sort by upload date reveals every single video easily.

I'm underwhelmed. I know Sucker Punch or Rocksteady could knock this game out of the park. It pains me seeing what state the Spiderman games are in. So far I haven't seem much of anything new at ALL. I liked the fact that we can target guys now but out of everything they have shown I have seen NOTHING new that makes buying the game worth while.

Man, looking at some of the gameplays... Both of the guys are so terrible at swinging, it's not even funny.

THIS THIS THIS. I'm sick of Beenox. I know that they have a good intentions but this sequel does not look great at all. The scale of the city also doesn't help Spiderman either. Where are the really high buildings??????

 

[Miles_Morales]

Meh. Maybe it's the fact the guy playing has no idea how to swing properly, or maybe it's because he's playing on last-gen, but i have to say i'm disappointed. But not surprised, since we've barely heard anything about this game for weeks. Here's to ASM3!

 

[Tim]

Watching the 4th and 5th walkthrough part vids: I hate the game for going into indoor levels. Brings back the boring TASM1 level memories.
