With the reveal of spiderman: edge of time is it finally time for spiderman to take off? First off I'm a huge Marvel fan, but as far as marvel hero's having a good game MEHHHH. Wolverine's game was pretty well received and I enjoyed it alot but lets face it thats pretty much it. Batman already has the crown for best comic adaptation, so where does that leave us? Before Shattered Dimensions the spiderman franchise was kind of in a slump, repetitive and boring. Shattered Dimensions opened us up alittle but still wanting more. It leaves us wondering how the new game will tack up. I've read the details for Edge of Time and I'm a little skeptical, but hoping still. The switch from a sandbox style game to a more linear approach was a good idea I think. This game, from the look of it will still follow that same formula giving us a fresh take on spidey: again. Please give us more action specifically targeting what spidey does best. Wall crawling, fast paced beat'em up sequences, and more use of his web techniques in unique ways. Don't Forget FIX THE DAMN CAMERA WHEN WALL CRAWLING. And be able to wall crawl anywhere. Only time will tell with more details and gameplay footage if Spidey has was it takes to take Marvel comics to the level DC comics has achieved. Im keeping my finger's crossed. COME ON SPIDEY YOU CAN DO IT. Also We have Thor and Captain America to fall back on. More Captain America though LMAO
The armadillo returns.
Sony is apparently experimenting with an AI tool that will play the game for you when you are grinding away. A PlayStation patent for “auto-play” mode would simulate your gameplay style in certain environments and apply them to skip that section completely. This technology would likely be built directly into the cloud-based PlayStation Network and be a new feature that subscribers would have access to.
Hah! Either will never happen or publishers will charge you to use this AI. This concept would only exacerbate the problem we already have with GaaS.
doesnt that concept already exist tho?
buy dlc to get a ahead in games? money, weapon and exp dlc come to mind but yeh. one more thing for them.to potentially charge for.
Usually, for GaaS/Seasonal games, you'll have to perform actions to earn specific in-game currency to buy things for events. Then they sell the currency with real cash or a third-currency to then buy the in-game currency items (it's honestly truly bloated to hide that they're cheating you out of money). With this, they'll just give you items if you do something 50 times or the like and then charge you to have the game play it for you. It's better, right? No currency shenanigans, just play the game and we reward you! But, the truth is they'll inflate the amount of times you have to play through content just to get the same thing.
Why?
Why not just remove the Grindy part?
I hope it's not an excuse to make them worse, but optional if you pay
Duuro says: "I think the idea behind the movement is cool, but on the other hand, the execution and clear limitation of the platform somewhat undermine the whole thing."
But Spiderman does need alot of space and freedom, But snadbox style wasn't utilised well...Spider-Man 2 the first game to do that was great and worked well. AFter that mind numbing bad games came out with awful repitive and dull missions. Spider Man got alot of potential more so then other heros due to this abilities.
Just turn Spider-Man into a first-Person game like Mirrors Edge haha now that would be mind blowing doing arcobatics in the air in first-Person haha
The only linear Spiderman games of which I have enjoyed were the original "Spiderman" & "Spiderman 2: Enter Electro" for the Playstation 1 & "Spiderman" for the PS2. However, the greatest Spiderman games of all time were easly "Spiderman 2" for the Xbox or Playstation 2 and "Ultimate Spiderman", both open-world and two of the greatest games of all time. Simply fantastic entries to the super-hero genre. I want a glorious return to the open-world approach, "Web of Shadows" was quite a poor entry, but had some intriguing ideas, unfortunately its execution was awful...
If they just take what they did in Shattered Dimensions and Improve upon it i'd be happy as that was the best spider-man game since Ultimate Spider-Man. I'd rather just something like an Ultimate Spider-Man 2 as it was my favorite one yet.
Spiderman's rogues gallery is my second favorite behind Batman's so i would love for this next game to be something special.
