Thought that was for all developers.
lol, the reason the game got delayed may be trivial but the amount of butthurt is astounding
Keep the salt coming.
Xbone owners...xboners...dear God, you may be on to something.

Every WiiU owner knows that feeling. Better get used to it. ;-)
Very strange decision nevertheless.

huh? where's the salt in that statement? If anything, it's directed at the movie. but keep grasping for straws
As someone else here already said, they probably just fell behind on the XB1 version for whatever reason, which was then compounded by the fact it's a licensed movie game that is surely being rushed to coincide with the theatrical release.
We need to wait to hear more before we suggest anything more sinister.

Classic transference. Don't like a situation? Criticize something else tangentially related.
In the ID@Xbox program. Activision doesn't go through that, they're not an indie developer.
My theory is that since it's a Sony IP they are contractually obligated to release on the big Sony consoles. Hence most of the time went to optimizing the PS4 versions, with the XB1's QA falling behind, perhaps a game breaking bug was found in the X1 edition.
Now the X1 version will come when the Blu-Ray of the movie comes out. That's when they would be targeting it.

The movies just came out.
Do you think maybe Sony maybe secured an exclusive deal (timed exclusive/permanent) at the last minute, since The Amazing Spider man 2 is through Sony pictures i'm pretty sure?
It just doesn't make sense to throw away working on a platform, so close to sales unless something else has popped up.
Thinking out loud is all,lol

Ask yourselves why Sony would mandate this be delayed on the X1, as if this game is going to do gangbusters on sales. That a horrible theory.
Then we have the other side of the coin where people are doom and glooming it when it's likely some cert issue or something (Beenox mentioned just a few days ago that is was running at 1080p, 30fps on X1 & PS4).
Come on people lol.

What a load of old tut, XB360 is getting copy of the game, and that's sold a few more consoles than xbone. And why on earth would they want to limit the amount of consoles you can buy the game for? It's a movie tie-in, they get a release onto everything.
Yeah i don't think Sony would make some kind of deal, the game is hardly a AAA game in hype or potential sales.
I also very much doubt that its a problem with the X1, the game wouldn't be 1080p if they were struggling with the hardware and the game is hardly a looker to begin with.
sorry my fault, I thought you were discrediting the game because the movie you never saw was looking "shit", in order to downplay the fact, that this game is not coming to xbone any time soon and thus the owners of said console are not missing out. May bad

Wonder if this is anything to do with compatibility issues with the latest Xb1 firmware. Something in the game conflicting with the os perhaps. Thus it not paswing certification

Does the Xbox One have a minimum resolution clause?

So you're saying that anyone who isn't bothered about this must be an Xbox fanboy?, we are hardly talking about the next GTA here.

Oddest move I've seen in a while. Xbox owners buy games, hard time understanding why activision didn't at least force out a bad port in time

I can definately see there might be something wrong that might warrant a delay but an indefinite delay is quite overkill.
Absolutely not. My reply was directed at a comment of a particular user. In any case it was not meant to be a generalisation

Beenox said it was running at 1080p, 30fps on both versions, what "minimum" resolution would they be hunting?
And no, they don't, that should be apparent by now.

It might not have passed their own certification.

yeah, shit ports didn't stop multiplats in the early ps3 days.
Or even later days.
360 version can eat into Ps3 sales. Wii U version could make a (very) small dent in PS3 sales as well. No Vita version but there is a 3DS version. PC version could make a small dent in Ps4 sales as well.
I'm going with an issue with the Xbox One version coming up and they delayed it so the other versions could release near the movie's release.

hope an early xb1 copy is leaked like that nba live game.

Totally different game though, it's one of those Gameloft jobs: amazing engine, sticky play.

Haven't played it, but it's crazy what you can do with a phone these days. If you have an Xbox One and love Spider-Man, you might want to free up some space on your phone...

Sounds like something had blown up in Q&A.

THe ps4 version looked like a below par graphically, so I'm going to guess the xbone version was even worse. Lots of pop up. Maybe they couldn't get it fixed before going gold and it was so bad that it affected gameplay.
The swing mechanic looked good though. No more webs attaching to the sky.

No, they don't. See all the posts in SCEA threads yelling "rootkits!!", which was SonyBMG.

I reckon that sounds like the case, something came up in QA they looked at the movie release and dev. cycle and thought 'This will be out too long after the movie, screw it just cancelit'. I doubt this game is likely to be good enough to sustain sales past the movie hype so fixing it would represent a lost investment, of course if I'm proved wrong and it's amazing then this is just stupid. In the meantime I'll take it as a hint that the game itself isn't good enough to last without the movie hype.

They are probably just trying to get it up to 900p, no worries it will come out when it comes out. It's not like it's a highly anticipated title anyway.
I am still shocked that there are still people that done know that.
This makes the most sense.

I don't believe this is performance related when the game is available on mobile and portable devices, in addition to last gen. They clearly know how to cut stuff to get things working, so that idea is out.
The Sony money hat idea is also preposterous. Sony want sales of a game related to an IP they own the film rights for, on as many platforms as possible, clearly. Never mind its out on 360.
I think the most likely cause is the release date parity. For whatever reason they had to push the Xbone version by a time, but are not allowed to do that, so it is on hold until they can sort that out with MS, if at all.
What that delay reason could be if not performance, I have no idea.

Since when did games have to work? Just ask EA.
They confirmed on Twitter that both the PS4 and X1 versions run at 1080p/30fps, its very doubtful that this delay is hardware related.
