IGN were lucky enough to be shown the teaser trailer for
The Amazing Spider-Man earlier today by developers Beenox, and they've revealed the first details about the recently unveiled tie-in. Here are a couple of excerpts from their report, but to read them in full, be sure to click on the link below to head on over to the site.
-The teaser showed Spidey swinging around New York City in the day and night as well as fighting a giant metal spider-robot. The entire thing was made with in-game footage, and looked good enough to bring back my warm and fuzzy memories of the Spider-Man 2 game.
-Although Beenox wouldn't go into great detail, the representative said that the game is bringing Spider-Man back to New York City, packing its own story set in the movie universe, and including a new feature that will make players feel like they are Spider-Man/Peter Parker.
Sounds pretty good, eh? Hopefully, the trailer will be released sometime during this weekends New York Comic Con, while I for one am definitely hoping that it will abandon the linear nature of recent Spider-Man games and allow us to take control of the iconic Marvel superhero in the entirety of New York City! Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place.
UPDATE: Oh well, look like my prayers have been answered! Newsarama now report that Doug Heder from Activision and Gerard Lehiany from Beenox confirmed that the video game WILL return to the open world style of previous tie-in's. that they are developing a game to coincide with the movie The Amazing Spider-Man. They also comment on their excitement of working with Marvel, and you can check that out for yourselves by clicking the link above.
