Agreed. I enjoyed the first game TBH, but this looks like it's taking several steps back. Least with the first game is was set after the events of the firsts movie. This one seems to be before the events of, well both films, desregaurding a lot of the plot.

DrKarateChop3648d ago (Edited 3648d ago )

That's me in the video, what exactly was better about the first one? I didnt play it but so far the sequal is...um...yeah.

Nitrowolf23648d ago

I thought, froma plot point, it made sense. Heck even the web swinging felt better. This clearly just felt like a rushed game

Army_of_Darkness3647d ago

wow. Such amazing next gen quality detail and graphics on this game..........

chrissx3647d ago

Its crazy to think that the best spiderman game available today is spiderman 2 on Ps2. These guys are dulling

ceedubya93647d ago

I've heard that Ultimate Spiderman and Shattered Dimensions were pretty good. I haven't played either yet, though.

UltraNova3647d ago (Edited 3647d ago )

I played the shitload out of that game back in the day..I've put at least 50 hrs into it!

How hard can it be to make a good one again??

They should take a note from Rocksteady.

edit: @above

I played both and let me tell you the term Mediocre was invented for games like these. To be fair though compared to other Spiderman games mediocre is actually good.

SquidBuck3647d ago

I played it on GameCube, but It's definitely the best Spiderman game.

Allsystemgamer3647d ago

I paid $25 for so it should be able to be entertaining at least. Wasn't expecting much

djplonker3647d ago

The pc version is only £12.99 at simplycdkeys if anyone is interested dunno if the price is glitched but its a damn good deal!

Beenox on the Trials and Tribulations of Developing a Spider-Man Game

OnlySP spoke to Beenox co-studio head and creative director Thomas Wilson about the company’s work on Spider-Man games. Between 2001 and 2007, Beenox did not develop a single original game. Instead, the studio worked as a porting house. Beenox’s experience with movie tie-ins led to the studio’s original work on The Bee Movie in 2007 and Monsters vs. Aliens in 2009, and its experience porting Spider-Man games resulted in the studio being handed the reigns to develop original Spider-Man titles in 2010.

CarlDechance2054d ago

Nice read. Wilson's candor is refreshing. He flat out says Activision did not give Beenox the budget, resources, or the time they needed. Really is too bad Activision squandered their opportunities with the Spider-man franchise. They could have made some really great games. Activision being Activision.

Mister-Zay2054d ago

I wonder if we could have gotten better Destiny games if Bungie didn't go to Activision.

Profchaos2054d ago

Undoubtedly the quality would be much higher

UltraNova2054d ago

Activision's quick buck -low quality policy at its best. No wonder the first Spiderman game made by a competent dev with all the time and money needed turned out to be a stellar game overall that did justice to the source material...

Profchaos2054d ago

Activision being activision they dismantled neversoft probably the best studio they ever owned and they ran spiderman, Tony hawk, guitar hero and debeatably cod into the ground.

They have had a number of mega ips in their stable but they continue to pump out uninspired sequals for them until everyone grows tired.

Happy to see spiderman get another life with insomniac.

shuvam092054d ago (Edited 2054d ago )

Always felt the same...
Beenox Spidey games felt like they put effort into it...
But we all know that Activision is no Sony when it comes to budget, expectation and patience for these type of games...

Always felt bad for this team. They did a lot of things right, but Activision screwed them over at every turn.

Don’t forget about Spider Man 2 The PC Version which is worse than the console version. Web of Shadow PS2 version is also the worse than PS3/X360.

Edito2059d ago

It's just me or the title is misleading?

UnSelf2059d ago

at first read it appears so, but no it's grammatically sound

Inzo2059d ago

Best Spider Man game to date has to be Spider Man 2.
Worst Spider Man game to date I will have to go with The Amazing Spider Man 2.

vork772059d ago

i like The Amazing Spider-Man 1 game

antz11042059d ago

Me too, totally doesnt belong on the list.

GoldeneyeOO72059d ago

The absolute WORST Spider Man game is, by far, the PSVR installment. I'd have more fun playing with dog shit than that game.
