The Amazing Spider-Man expectations.

The Amazing Spider-Man is a game coming out around the same time as the movie. Luckily, the game has already been in development for a while. This should hopefully back the movie tie in game trend as most movie games have to be released near the movie's release to rake in the green. Unfortunately, this deadline often means that the games can't be fully crafted and don't have all that much effort put into them because of limited time. Beenox has this time however begun work on the game and have decided (since the movie isn't out yet and the plot isn't detailed) to make it take place after the events of the movie so that an original story can be worked on and the game doesn't feel rushed. Although this is all well and good, there are many things about this game that I want to be done that weren't in the other Spider-Man games. Here is my list of things I want from the Amazing Spider-Man:


Realistic Graphics: No Spider-Man game has fully captured the feeling of a realistic Spider-Man. Spider-Man 2 was released on consoles that didn't have the power to do so and Spider-Man 3 was...ugh. Although the graphics for Shattered Dimensions were good, they weren't realistic. I just want to fully be able to imagine that the person on screen could be swinging around in a real New York and that he looked like he was a real character.
Physics: I want the web swinging to have some real weight behind it, like in Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man. No double jumps, so gravity defying mid-air combos (although ariel attacks should be included) and fall damage should make a return.
Rewarding Combat: The combat in Shattered Dimensions made each Spider-Man feel interesting to play, but now I want a really deep and fleshed out fighting system, as deep as the Rocksteady Batman games, if not deeper. Web should really be a part of the combat, not just the movement, it's his trademark, it should be Spidey's main weapon.
Camera: MAKE IT WORK!
Difficulty: I want this game to challenge me. Make me come out of each fight knowing that I beat them because I used my talents, not because I pressed some buttons.


That's what I want. Beenox. You know what to do.
