Beenox studio head Dee Brown took to Twitter a couple of nights ago to answer a bunch of fan questions about The Amazing Spider-Man. Brown commented on the title’s gameplay elements, upcoming trailer, and more.
8bitfix compiled a helpful summary of Brown’s messages, which you can find below.
– No voice actors have been confirmed yet. It remains to be seen if Andrew Garfield or Emma Stone will be lending their voices to the game.
– Gwen Stacey, Dr. Curt Connors, Rhino and Iguana are the only confirmed characters so far.
– Brown believes that this is the best-looking Spider-Man game to date.
– The game will feature several additional “skins”(alternate costumes), including some that have never been in a Spidey game before.
– Almost all scenes are rendered in-engine with motion capture.
– Webswinging will be “completely unique compared to past games, an incredible blend of speed and vertigo.”
– Spidey’s utility belt will be used to reload his webshooters. Thankfully, you’ll never find yourself running out of web cartridges as they are unlimited.
– The open world of Manhattan was designed with a “balance between realism and what’s best for gameplay.”
– “The Amazing Spider-Man has been developed to be an AWESOME game on its own, not a “movie game.” That’s why we’ve set the story after the movie.”
– There will be ‘photography missions’ where Spidey must use his Peter Parker skills to find clues in levels throughout Manhattan.
– The combat shares “similarity” with Batman: Arkham City but “adds a lot of unique stuff.”
– More classic Spidey villains will be announced in the near future. “The coolest thing is that we get to reinvent their origin with Marvel.”
– When the game is complete, you’re able to stay in Manhattan and finish side missions, and even select the time of day.
– In the game, the police and Spidey are working in concert, which is a direct contrast to the events of the film where Captain George Stacey seems intent on capturing the ‘masked vigilante.’
– A new trailer showing off the game’s “Web Rush” mechanic will be released soon.
– No Collector’s Edition has been announced yet.
– Custom soundtracks won’t be supported.
