NYCC 2011: MARVEL Announces SPIDER-MAN Movie Game

Quote:

Finally, Doug Heder from Activision and Gerard Lehiany from Beenox announced that they are developing a game to coincide with the movie The Amazing Spider-Man. The game returns to the open world style of prior Spidey games. A trailer showed that off quite a bit, as well as a massive robotic enemy. It drew huge applause, and they even played it a second time for the fans. A brief discussion on how the game development process in working with Marvel followed, with developers noting how the characters are rich, and they're able to each do their own takes on the same characters, while still allowing them to feel like the ones from the comics. They all said how much they love that their jobs give them an excuse to read comics on a regular basis. The highlight of the fan Q&A was Amazing Spider-Man comic book writer Dan Slott coming to the mic to ask a couple of questions. He asked the Beenox team if there will be alternate suits, which they said they can't answer yet.

Doug Heder, producer at Activision, admitted that Beenox's track record has been mixed. Their last release, Edge of Time, currently has a Metacritic of 60. However, he promised that Amazing would find a different fate, thanks to its lengthy development time. Gerard Lehiany, creative director of Beenox, says that the game has been in development for over a year so far. Beenox has two teams, with the Amazing team having worked separately from the Edge of Time and Shattered Dimensions team. The trailer definitely earned high praise from fans, who were enthusiastic about Spider-Man's return to New York City and open-world gameplay. In the real-time trailer, we saw glimpses of Peter Parker jumping off buildings, swinging through the city. The "realistic" look is a stark departure from Beenox's previous two Spider-Man games. According to Heder, the game serves as a continuation of the movie's story. The game is pegged for a "Summer 2012" release, likely near the movie's July 3, 2012 date.

I really hope that they've gone back to the Spider-man 2/ultimate Spider-man structure instead of this linear **** they've been doing.

I still can't believe the movie is going to try and compete with The Dark Knight Rises. They either come out on the same day or within a week or two of eachother.

Spiderman comes out the 3rd of July, Batman the 20th.


If this game is close to Spiderman 2, I'll play it. Closer to the rest of the games and I'll pass like always.

I hope there's a way to play with the classic attire because I don't like the new suit at all.

If Batman: Arkham City is an indication of the future of DLC, I'm sure there will be plenty of pre-order deals with alternate skins.

I really hope this game turns out to be good
