This 2008 emo ‘masterpiece’ makes Spider-Man 2 totally redundant

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a hotly anticipated game, and one that I'm desperate to play, but why wait when you can play Spider-Man Web of Shadows right now?

What's up with all the hate for the Sequel lately.

BehindTheRows255d ago (Edited 255d ago )

Typical with Sony sequels. Pay it no mind - the game will release to great reviews, break records, and articles like these will prove their irrelevance once more.

z2g255d ago (Edited 255d ago )

just more of the same for me honestly. it doesn't even look that different than the last game or version. like they upgraded some textures etc, made some new story points and swapped out the characters, but it pretty much just feels like the same game. also - personally speaking, I'm pretty sick of Spiderman, and I definitely have superhero burnout.

thats honestly why im looking forward to starfield so much. not because its an xbox game or whatever reason the internet will tell you is the only reason, its actually because it is just something new. its not superheroes, its not marvel, its not medieval magic stuff, its just straight up space sci-fi proper RPG and that just feels so refreshing imo. There are certainly other ps5 games that I am looking forward to more than SM2. Not hating tho.

ApocalypseShadow255d ago

Yeah. It's because it's an Xbox game. You play this same game about other Sony games or VR. No one is fooled.

Star Field looks no different than what people are doing in No Man's Sky or Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen. Play those and you'll have basically played Star Field.

Many sequels are going to play similar to the first game. Super hero games are about being super. That's the point. To be that hero kicking some ass.

Extermin8or3_255d ago

We had 2 spiderman games in like the last decade that were worth playing and you are burned out in spiderman? Wtf. Yeah what a load of bullshit.

KyRo255d ago (Edited 255d ago )

I agree with the first part about superhero burnout as great as Spiderman looks but that is happening in and outside of gaming but how can you say you're not looking forward to Spiderman but then in the next paragraph praise Starfield when everything they've shown so far looks like yet another Bethesda 6 or 7 out of 10 game which the media will praise to high heaven, award GOTY, whilst scrutinizing other games for the same problems all Bethesda games have. Baffling

Hypertension140255d ago

@z2g

You must hate every sequel ever made then.
Its crazy to me that this is what it has come down to, it's just shows how amazing playstation exclusives are if thats the best excuse you got.

All of the complaints I've heard from fanboys are also an issue in other games, but it's bad if Sonys games do it? Are Sonys games more special than others according to you guys?

Hating on new games is what gamers do.

ThichQuangDuck256d ago

web of shadows had more unique fun ideas for it to me. spider man 1 and 2 wiil surely be cool though

256d ago
Inverno256d ago

Ultimate is overall better. Web of Shadows had an interesting idea, but the mission structure in the first half made no sense.

Vengeance1138255d ago

No Man's Sky existing makes Starfield totally redundant.

GotGame818255d ago

No Man's Sky didn't have the story Starfield will. It also didn't have the combat both on the ground and in space Starfield does. I am cautiously optimistic about Starfield.

You spewing hate for a game that hasn't released yet, and is being released by one of the best gaming developers out there is funny. It has the potential to be fantastic.

IRetrouk255d ago

Nms had a story at launch, ground combat and ship combat at launch too...

Not saying starfield is gonna be crap, cause I don't believe it will be, but its certainly not doing anything we haven't already seen in other games.

Hypertension140255d ago

@GotGame818

"One of the best developers" funny most people used to hate them and would've made fun of you for making that comment, but suddenly many people act like that always loved them now why is that?
Is it because your favorite company buys them and all is forgiven? I'm seeing the same with Activision, I cant f**king stand fake people like this.

65 Year Old Gamer Racks Up Ridiculous Stats After Playing 1 Game for 15 Years

A very devoted fan of Call of Duty: World at War racks up incredible in-game stats while playing regularly for the past 15 years.

franwex287d ago

Well, he definitely got his money’s worth.

Abnor_Mal287d ago

Same as Shirley Curry playing Skyrim for years. In the next Elders Scrolls game they should have her in the game as some form of npc.

andy85287d ago

She is, I read she will be a character. Not a dig in any form but I hope she's alive when it releases

Relientk77287d ago

That's over 7,000 hours geez. What crazy stats

nitus10287d ago

Actually it is very easy to up the number of hours you have been playing a game. Basically all you need to do (assuming you have a PS4 or 5) is to place the console into stand-by without exiting the game, so if you do this a one hour gameplay actually becomes a 24 gameplay or longer.

boing1287d ago

What? So the game is still runinng when you put it to sleep? What?

EvertonFC287d ago

It's actually sad not an achievement but hey we need the full story details.

Knushwood Butt287d ago

There's someone on my friend list that has more than 6200 hours on Uncharted 4.

vTuro24286d ago

7k hours over 15 years isn't that crazy. The fact that he's been playing the same game for 15 years is more impressive.

anast287d ago

And then you got people that want to finish a game every week.

Rhythmattic287d ago

Nailed what is the Spectrum... For good and bad, Quality or Quantity..Or the unreasonable to reason for. ;)

jznrpg287d ago

Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.

EvertonFC287d ago

500 days in 6 years is nothing lol, you do realise how many days in a year right ?

poppatron287d ago

I might be getting the maths wrong here, I think 500 days in 6 years works out at an average of just over 6 hours every single day. For 6 years. That’s pretty serious

EvertonFC287d ago

Edit: wrote this early this morning, I understand it's lots of hours now lol at myself 😂🤣😜

RedDevils287d ago

The only way to achieve this, is by having no life outside of video game lol.

Outlawzz287d ago

Strange choice of game but hey that's some devotion. Congrats to them!

2600 Spider-man was the first I ever played. So many memories of that and Superman game. I didn't play another SM game until the Sega CD Spider-man vs the Kingpin

Yui_Suzumiya656d ago

I guess 6 people don't believe you, lol

ClayRules2012657d ago

Spider-Man 2018 (Insomniac’s game) is the absolute worst…I’m kidding, I’m kidding. The absolute BEST Spider-Man games to date!

1. Spider-Man: Miles Morales “ “Insomniac”
2. Marvels Spider-Man 2018 “Insomniac”
3. Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions.
4 Spider-Man 2.
5 Spider-Man (I forget the name) but I played it when I was about 10 or so, back in school. I thought it was the coolest game (which was a side scroller) and believe it or not, I felt like I was playing Spider-Man lol. If only I knew what the future would hold for technology, the talent of artists in these studios in the future, my eyes and brain would melt outta my head haha.

Seraphim657d ago

Ultimate Spiderman is definitely #3 on my list and a gem of the PS2/XB/GC era imo.

I can see an argument to flip 1 and 2 but I think the improvements Insomniac made to Miles Morales does technically put it a step above the original. Because it was Miles it was something refreshingly different too.

ClayRules2012657d ago

Nice! I’m glad you enjoyed Ultimate Spider-Man. I forgot about that one. That was a good one!

Yeah, I can see that argument to clip 1 and 2 as well but the improvements added in Miles Morales for me definitely put it above the original, which is why I put it as my #1. I absolutely love both tho!

ZeekQuattro657d ago

The first one I played was on the Game Gear called Spider-man vs the Kingpin. Definitely one of the worst Spider-Man games but I loved it as a kid. My favorite Spider-Man games include Spider-Man PS1/64, Maximum Carnage, Web Of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions, ASM 1 and the two Sony recent Sony exclusive ones. Edge of Time and ASM 2 get honorable mentions because though I did enjoy them both felt like step back from the previous titles.

gunnerforlife657d ago

Still hold amazing memories of spiderman 2! What a game!

SavageFlamingo657d ago

They absolutely nailed the physics in that game. No game has ever come close.

Silly gameAr657d ago (Edited 657d ago )

Spider-Man The Movie, the game will probably be my favorite SP game ever, with the nostalgia goggles on. I doubt it would hold up at all today. Shattered Dimensions was great too.
