Not sure how I feel about “web rush” having seen this latest trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. I’m sure everyone’s going to call this a quicktime event mechanic, and that sequence where Spidey taps the stooge on the shoulder and then wraps him up does look scripted.
The interwebs are abuzz with the news that comic book legend Stan Lee will upgrade from his usual cameo role to playable character in Activision’s Spider-Man movie tie-in. Seriously?
Superhero movies flirt with distaster when they try to throw more than one antagonist at the main character. But, superhero video games? They thrive on that formula. So, in the first of what we have to assume will be many unveilings, Activision’s rolling out a look at how old-school bad guy the Rhino will look in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man game, which ties in to the summer movie of the same name.
After two games that weren’t exactly dripping with hot web-slinging action, developer Beenox takes things open world in the Amazing Spider-Man. How focused are they on swinging this time around? So focused that they haven’t noticed they’ve stolen the plot from a Robocop move.
We got a treat at New York Comic Con today. We got the world’s first look at the trailer for next summer’s Amazing Spider-Man game. You should watch this one.
Just about a minute long, it’s enough to make you forget there’s a brand-new Spider-Man game out this month. That one’s dead to me, as of now.
