The Amazing Spider-Man 2 PS4 gameplay

He's better than baby face tobey and his unfunny spider man.
Asm was good for what it was. I legitimately feel sorry for beenox. Stuck making games incredibly fast with crappy, low budget engines. Give them a full 3 years, proper funding, and a good engine and they would be able to release a great spiderman game.

Swinging looks fun, but dammit I want my comic based game. I also dislike the use of free flow combat, I fits Batman but not every superhero game needs it. And while the web rush features is a neat idea, it just takes away way too much control and needs some serious re-tooling.
Some nice ideas overall but I think it being a movie tie-in really limits how great some of the stuff will be.

I don't care about the graphics. As long as the game is fun, that's what matters. Looks decent enough and if the webswinging is good, then that's great.
It looks sterile, lifeless and bland all on its own. No comparisons needed.

Yeah but that could also just be the lighting.
Spider-Man 2 looked lifeless at certain times (day, dusk) too, and the first Amazing Spider-Man game also had the ability to change the time of day (in which night and morning look the best).

I watch the video and I think it looks promising and then I read this topic and people are picking out all sorts of stuff.

Maaaan they better have pizza missions. Also needs more variety in the crimes so Spidey can once again strut the streets with a purse or a balloon in hand.

The fact that the city is the way it is, all packed together and no space for anything makes it seem like there are no side things to do, simply because it all looks the same, and there's no damn space lol. It's probably true too, but for a single story playthrough; it could be fun.
Hmm I am not seeing it, to be honest.
How about no, I don't want it being a Sony exclusive.
God I hated that kid, to the point I started popping the balloons. Seriously who takes their kid out at 02:00 in the morning?

I had realistic expectations for this (it has a lot against it, being multi-platform, cross-gen, and needing to come out by a movie's release date), and I'm still disappointed.
I don't blame Beenox, though. I'm sure they did what they could with the time and budget constraints they were given.

Really? That warehouse/stealth part screamed Batman to me.

I'll still buy it.
That part felt like Spider-Man to me as stealth part has always been a part of the series starting with the original PS1 Spider-Man.

I actually really enjoyed the first amazing spiderman movie, despite the web slinging being fake, so i am really excited to see how much they improved on just that aspect alone.
If we can do double webs or hold a single web a.l.a spiderman 2 this will be an instant purchase. I would love for the city to be more varied though.
Definetely want to see more of the web slinging first , i enjoyed the little sub missions (batman takedowns e.t.c) , but most of my time was just flying around the city.

Web slinging looks ace but they need to clean up some of the other stuff. Hopefully that footage was taken from alpha.

I did notice the pop in, but I don't know I didn't care? Only thing I really care about is load times. If I can go anywhere in the city without it loading up too much them I'm fine.
I haven't bought a Spider-Man game in a long time (since PS2), but I dunno I guess I one of the few that liked what they saw.

Original Spider-Man game for the PS1, first mission:

ASM Spider-Man has a backpack, and he uses his phone in the movie all the time. He's a teenager.

WHEN ARE THEY GONNA MAKE AN ULTIMATE SPIDERMAN 2?
Best SM game ever.

This was my first thought, then the pop-in issue.
The rest looks great but the city looks bland and lifeless.

Sooooo I just watched this video on Spiderman 2. I think I might just spend my money on an original xbox and a copy of the game. Even at only swing level 3 Sp2's web-swinging and wall run is so fast. The combat looks way better than this arkham clone......all the control you had over the web, the sprint/boost button, and the air combat DAMN

That footage of Beenox's game honestly doesn't look too promising now. I'll wait for user impressions of the web-swinging before jumping in.

I'm gonna buy this game either way, but I just wanted to reiterate on that sprint button and charge jump, sprinting and jumping from rooftop to rooftop was so awesome.
I agree. That is just embarrassing.
Haven't 3rd party developers saw what inFamous: Second Son looked like? THOSE are the kind of graphics that they should be achieving.
Well damn, looks pretty awesome to me! 
Loved ASM1 and this looks to improve in a lot of ways. I'm holding out hope that the pop in and graphics get slight improvements between now and release, but I think it looks pretty great!
Had it pre-ordered and paid off on PS4 for a while now, can't wait! Just wish it came out on the same day the movie did, so I could pick it up after seeing it.

I had to laugh when I saw they were still doing the freeze-time-and-teleport thing. Y'know how they handled the problem of landing exactly where you wanted to land in Spider-Man 2? They made an awesome swinging system with perfect controls so you could land Spidey on a dime wherever you pleased.
The swinging here does look better than the last Amazing SM, at least. Although I'd argue that game didn't really have swinging at all; you just held a button and steered Spidey around while watching him do pre-canned swinging animations. Switching to something (hopefully) physics-based and having the webs stick to buildings is a big step in the right direction.

Is it bad that I think it looks pretty cool?
I don't even care about the graphics (but they do look plain as hell and not interesting or detailed) but the gameplay looks so boring as fuck. There's no originality, takedowns look weak, fighting looks weak and unco-ordinated and the gimmicky aspects that are new are not the least bit interesting or intuitive or any fun.
Even that spider-man 2 video posted had a more interesting fighting and dodging stuff.

I enjoyed the last game and this seems to be an improvement. Will buy.
Spiderman 2 was such an awesome game. It's a shame that they could never improve on what made that game so awesome.
The budget for this game is probably
laughably low.
