Ultimate Spider-Man

Has Sup Forums played this game? Let's talk about it

It was pretty good. Too bad half of the ultimate universe villains suck dick.

I think most on here would argue whether it's better than 2 or not.

Point is everyone loves it.

What's so special about 2 by the way? I never liked it. It's not even in my top 3 spidey games

2 has the best swinging of any spiderman game
Other than that i have no idea why everyone praises it so much. I enjoyed it at the time but nowadays it's not very fun

Isn't the first movie game better? Not joking, I think it is

This is a top 3 Spidey game whatever way you look at it. Also, did anyone ever get stuck on that Electro chase as Venom? Used to make me rage back in the day, still remember some of the dialogue.

>Easiest 100 grand I ever made
>I thought this was a chase not a freaking walk in the park!
>My grandma moves faster than you!

Playing as Venom was fun

I don't think i ever played the first movie game

Yeah, happened to me. The game itself was easy.

Agreed, one of the most random difficulty spikes I've ever encountered

I remember the chases having some problems, like you had to take the exact path the devs wanted.
But it's still one of the best Spidey games I played with the psone titles.

The first movie game was like a refinement of the previous two Playstation games.

The 2nd movie game was where they properly embraced the open-world style of play and never looked back.

Played it recently for the first time, and it was fun as hell, too bad it was a bit repetitive(other than the fight against rhino and a couple missions, everything was just the same 2-3 missions copy pasted over and over with a different skin each time) and after completing the story there is really no incentive in doing all the remaining tasks/goals and collecting all the hidden stuff.

Back in the days I was fucking WILLING to unlock the black suit to swing through the city after beating the story

Really good superhero game for its time, and even now. It actually feels like you are playing inside a comic book. The story stuff is comic book-ish too.

This game is sort of like a proto-Arkham City. Open world that is fun to traverse, FreeFlow(TM) Combat, bunch of hidden collectable, optional challenges in the form of races and gang fights.

It's been years since I last played it, but I remember the combat being pretty shitty. There wasn't a lot of combo variety to make it interesting

Never played it. Was the swinging like 2?

My love of this game has been tainted by what a shitshow the Ultimate universe has become.

I mean yeah comics and all but geez, wasn't ultimate created so that it could fucking distance itself from the downward spiral of retardness?

Even if I played it just recently, I'm old enough to have lived the era where you want to unlock something useless as a costume/skin just for the sake of it, but in this case what was the incentive for it?
Considering how repetitive the game was and that to unlock the costumes you have to do even more repetitive tasks, by the time you unlock the costume you want you have already spent a lot of time swinging between buildings(which again, was fun as hell to do) to the point it almost becomes boring, so even if you like a costume a lot, why would you want to unlock it? Just to do more of what you did already so much to the point of boredom?

I think the execution of the unlocks was badly done honestly.
It would have been better if you could have unlocked the costumes(if not all, most of them) during the required missions for the story, but making them usable only after beating the game, that way you could have used your preferred costume while still having stuff to do to unlock the remaining ones or just for the sake of completing the game at 100%

You're way out of the loop casual, the Ultimate universe doesn't exist anymore.

Dude I was like 10. It was ok

Not him, but that's just admitting it's nostalgia and nothing else.

That unlockables thing? Yes, wouldn't bother now.
But the game is great not because of muh nostalgia

I fucking LOVED this game. Had it on OG XBox. People seem to forget about this game when they talk about Spiderman games. This one had the best web-swinging and movement in general, not Spiderman 2

I also played THUG for the first time recently, yet even after finishing the story it was less repetitive and unlocking everything and completing all the tasks felt like i was achieving something.

Considering I was argumenting the unlockables, there's no need to specify the game was good not due to nostalgia.
The game is good, still it is repetitive though, both through the story and after it.

>did anyone ever get stuck on that Electro chase as Venom?
That mission was SO hard for me.
It took me forever to get through it.
Electro's movements were way too spastic and sharp, and Venom was such a clumsy hulking character to control.

I wonder if Marvel would consider continuing or rebooting it some day?

Impossible, Marvel literally destroyed all their multiverses so they could put their favorite minority character in the main universe. There's no way they're returning to what it used to be.

I want to believe, even if it takes 10, 20 or 30 years.

There was also a cool GBA game

Basically this. The Old Marvel stuff is gone, ultimate and 616 both destroyed and rebooted into one New 52 style universe with Miles Morales being the only survivor of the Ultimates as the main Spider-Man while Peter Parker is now an international spy and billionaire playboy. I won't say NEVER EVER though simply because DC undid their shitty New 52 garbage last year and their books have gotten way better so maybe Marvel will undo their reboot in a few years too when they realize how much everyone hates Black Captain America, Hydra agent Steve Rogers, every X-Men character being gay or trans (not an exaggeration either), etc, but right now, it's all there is.

Is Doom still a guy in a suit trying to be Ironman?

This game sucks compared to Spider-Man 2.

Pleb detected

Yes. He's part of the Avengers team.

>every X-Men character being gay or trans
What would an X-Man with the power of arbitrarily changing their own gender be?

>inb4 Mistique
Just their gender, not their entire looks

>Timed health-draining venom segments

The spidey segments were great at least

fond memories of it.

>play it
>love it
>only gripe is the swingign speed wasnt as good as sm2
>enter thread a bit back and user tells me to beat johnny storm for faster swinging

This is undoubtedly the best spiderman game. Max swing speed isnt as good as sm2 nor are the acrobatics but it is the best rounded came.

Story, characters, VA, city, side missions, races, events, venom, cameos, boss fights.

Other spiderman games might have done certain aspects better but never in a whole package like this. To create a better spiderman game they need to take the best aspects of each

>ps1 spiderman
characters, missions, unlockables/suits, story, cameos, humor
>sm2
swinging, tricks, sense of speed
>ultimate
what i listed above pretty much
>web of shadows
combat, this game had the best spiderman combat we've seen so far
>asm games
fuck off

I only came here to see if anyone mentioned the balloon

Misti-dammit

Posting swinging webm from the new spiderman game, what do you guys think?

Looks floaty and slowed down due to the chase to me desu. Ultimate spidermans max upgraded swing speed makes this feel like a crawl

Holy shit I forgot about that.
That was on one of the first missions where you play as Venom too.
>game lets you eat kids and spit out the corpse
>It's rated T

did it just then, its all about timing the big orb attack he does. Just sit back and let him do it then chase. Keep your distance otherwise. Also the devs had a specific path in midn when you play it so deviating from it is often a failure so dont feel bad

I played it 2 years ago and it was pretty good.
Some bosses quite annoying too.
I think I prefer it to 2.

Spiderman 2 was insane for roaming though.

You wanna rage hard?
HUMAN TORCH RACES

The "webzipping" thing makes him acellerate a bit, the swing doesn't at all while it should.
So yeah, it looks like floaty, as if the webswings were only needed to not make him fall to the ground instead of also add momentum, speed, and direction

Yeah, if anything stuck with me from that game, it's that moment.

Well, except for the Human Torch races, the Carnage and Venom fights, and spending over an hour trying to get into Dr Strange's house

The swinging in this game is worrying me.
It's not moonswinging, but it looks like they took the grapplehook from the Arkham games and used that as a basis for their swinging system.
Notice that instead of the player relying on their own skill to web zip there are markers there, a lot like Arkham's grapplehook mechanic.
They might actually be going for a fixed web movement system that relies on hardpoints to make it look more cinematic.

Those weren't that hard.
I had trouble with the first one but that's because it's really early in the game.
Later on I think they become easier.

I can guarantee the swinging is using the same tech/physics as the grappling hook in Uncharted 4. I'm sure there will be speed and ability upgrades that allow for more acrobatics and shit. It's obvious they wanted to show off wallrunning and shit here anyway. I think the game looks great and is currently in my top 3 most anticipated games right now.

I love this game so much, I've beaten the shit out of it like 20 times. Once you figure out the rythym of the Web-zip/tentacle-zip you can go Sanic speeds making all of the races completely trivial. Now I'm making myself want to play it again, I wish they'd put this shit out on Steam so we can play the superior PC version again.

Actually The Maker is going to show up in an Ultimates2 arc soon, he's trying to do shit with the Ultimate universe again.

Web zip being like said worries me too. It doesnt look like the old school zip in the direction you want but rather batman grapple hook here to cool parkour move to this location

>not make him fall to the ground
This is what i hated in the asm games, look at the webm It doesnt matter when he throws his web he cannot got within a metre of the floor, as if a glass floor has been placed. Im guessing the devs did this to give you that swinging between cars feel and not having the player constantly land on the floor as they swung too late but i think its jarring to see the arc interrupted with a completely horizontal glide until eventually the arc picks and lifts him off

>when you go so fast that Torch disappears behind you

>I think the game looks great and is currently in my top 3 most anticipated games right now.

If it's not the best spidey game, then what game is?

>As Venom
>Rack up points and make the Helicarrier appear over New York
>Climb Trask Tower
>Long Jump from the highest point of the building
>Clip into the empty tiny ass Helicarrier
0/10

Sup

I dont have as much faith in the game as that guy but i think this is a bit much. Its kinda worrying with what we've seen but remember its an e3 cinematic sony conference demo so it had to be press x to cool. I doubt it will be like that in the full game thoughh im not as hopeful as user.

Worst case we get another middling spiderman game like web of shadows that isnt great but is playable somehwat

>make the Helicarrier appear over New York
what?
Was this a post-story thing?

If you think this doesn't look like by far the best Spider-Man game then you are absolutely blinded by nostalgia and a retard.

Yes after you beat the game you can play as venom.
Start destroying shit and you'll start building up points for destruction.
After a while SHIELD shows up and the Helicarrier appears over New York.

>like web of shadows

Nah. Everything is pointing to a more cinematic ASM2.

>Arkham-lite combat with restrictive movement again so we can zip around like we could in some older games
>slow-mo all throughout combat which breaks up flow and will get very tedious
>animations and scenarios look like they were ported from ASM2
>web swinging however looks worse than ASM2, at least they attempted momentum
>Miles and he's confirmed to having a role raises way too many warning flags

It may have been an E3 trailer but we've all seen too many trailers to think "it will be a lot better on release/very different in later trailers" Hype is dead Jim.

And you're a casual shitter who probably eats up every "cinematic AAA masterpiece" that is shat out year after year.

>swinging through the city
>suddenly attacked
>kraven boss fight starts
>ends with him escaping
>continue swinging around feeling hunted at all times

This is how to do a kraven fight i think. Multiple boss fights where after each encounter he returns improved and able to counter the moves used on him last time. The whole hunt aspect of kraven is lost when its just a single boss fight that takes place in a mission. Add in a random sighting on the edge of your screen here and there and the scene is set for a good villain.

Or you can do the dodge the rhino charge and hit him on the back again

>Add in a random sighting on the edge of your screen here and there
I love this idea with a hunter character, feeling watched at all times is something you rarely ever feel in a game with Kraven in it

I agree, im a fool for having hype knowing how most games turn out after an e3 showing. Its just the spiderman fan in me somehow able to ignore the signs and keep the faith
>>Arkham-lite combat with restrictive movement again so we can zip around like we could in some older games
we saw a glimpse of web strike from web of shadows,
>>slow-mo all throughout combat which breaks up flow and will get very tedious
kill me
>>animations and scenarios look like they were ported from ASM2
cant confirm because i gave up on thattrash after asm1 but ill take your word on it
>>web swinging however looks worse than ASM2, at least they attempted momentum
nah i dont think its worse, look at the web m posted in thisthread, nothing weve seen looks worse than that
>>Miles and he's confirmed to having a role raises way too many warning flags
Im more confused about asian oracle lite instead of miles

>Miles and he's confirmed to having a role raises way too many warning flags
It's a Spider-Men 2 tie-in
It all makes sense now.
Fuck Bendis.

Even if you compare this tripe exclusively to the TASM games it pales. You're the retard.

It was such a tease with all the billboards in one of the spiderman games. I think a random sighting on the edge of the screen and it not there when you go to investigate would really add to the tension. Might sightings meaning the boss fight is approaching.

I quite liked the mr freeze fight in arkham city in how he adapts to what you do. 3 or 4 fights against kraven with him returning able to cut webs, dodge attacks and even stop you swinging away would be neat

Bendis probably threatened Marvel in some way to get his son in the game. If his wife Cage makes it in then it will be confirmed that he's got his claws into this game.

playing ultimate now. Its not looking better desu. The swigning in ultimate once upgraded is faster and not the batman grappling hook stuff. Combat does look somewhat improved but to say this is the best looking spiderman game when we are in a thread discussing the best one is silly

>spiderman game tied to other heros

Kinda like the solo spiderman and no other heros, just him and his villains roster

>Trying to beat the last race so I could get the Peter Parker Costume

Pathetic. Those old games have aged like ass. Take off the goggles already.

@381148065
That's enough (you)'s I think user. You're getting greedy.

Someone write a rank list of spider man games so I can buy some.

It would've been nice to have the HUD atleast reflect the costumes. Yeah, they did that for Peter and I think Hoodie Peter, but that's just for the main story.

>Osborn sign looks the same as Trump's campagin logo

That's the problem.
Bendis WANTS Miles to be THE Spider-Man
Miles' book is just called SPIDER-MAN
He's going to shove him EVERYWHERE

>Miles and he's confirmed to having a role raises way too many warning flags
I see almost not problem with miles in the new game as long as he's written better than in the comics. Which shouldn't be hard to do considering how people say hes bland.
The game will probably nerf his Venom shot, the one thing I see people complain about constantly, to something of a built up charge or a 3-5 second stun.

Yes, Ultimate, Spider-Man 2 (PS2, Xbox, GCN) and Spider-Man (PS1, N64, DC) are the best 3D Spidey games.

nigga that sign design existed way before trump. look back to Reagan posters

>better webswinging than what is shown so far

Is graphics what you mean?? Even though ultimate is quite old its art style makes it feel fresh and not aged at all i find. Its swigning is better and its combat while not great wasnt riddle with slow mo.

We're not shitting on the new one we're saying what theyve shown doesnt look to have imrpoved the spiderman games much from what we already have perfected in others

No. All the salt belongs to the combat tours. Fuck the Plum Blossom Gang.

Miles has more problems than just being bland unfortunately. Every last detail would have to be re-written which at that point he wouldn't be the same character and would be pointless making a deal about him and even if they did go that far
(which they won't, it's Marvel) his very foundation is built on the rape and destruction of a beloved character so he's already dead to a lot of people.

I rented this from blockbuster one day only for it to be scratched and not work
Only remember because I had a huge argument with the staff there that day who were trying to make me pay for it
Is it better than Spiderman 2?

see to see what each game did best and decide from there what you like.

ultimate>sm2>ps1 spiderman>web of shadows>linear spiderman games>>>asm spiderman games

>We're not shitting on the new one
I am. This is TASM2.5.

fuck off with this shit bendis. Fuckimg give me classic spiderman with classic enemies not this new black spiderman with asian oracle and no bugle job

Swinging is just moonswinging unlike 2 and the new PS4 one, it's shit.

>nerf his venom shot

...are we playing as miles? please say it aint fuckin so

I always thought this, too, although the tower you have to climb to get to vulture used to give me aneurysms back when I was shitty at vidya
also the warehouse with the thugs (think its like the second or third level) used to give me the creeps because of its rundown, seedy look and feel.

Nope, Spider-Man calls himself Pete in his thoughts in the E3 demo, so if it IS Miles, he has major issues

They've told us Miles is more than a cameo and the ugly ass white emblem has a purpose. Add to that mix Mr. Negative and you have the plot of the game.

It's not confirmed yet but he's confirmed to have a role to play and in the comics he's the street Spider-Man while Peter is a worldwide Spider-Man so it would be weird to include another Spider without playing as them.

its made by treyarch who made spiderman 2 why the fuck would it be moonswinging? It clearly has webs on buildings and a proper momentum system for its swinging and is the only game outside of 2 to have ever done it. Hell its swinging looks better than the floaty segments shown on the new ps4 game.

If you want the ps4 game to be good thats on you but dont shit on other good games because that wont make it so

On consoles: Spider-Man 2 is the best
On PC: Ultimate Spider-Man is the best
Try Web of Shadows for the combat.
Shattered Dimensions and Web of Shadows on DS are fucking great Metroidvaniaish games
Never gave a fuck about the Beenox games.
Spider-Man and Enter Electro on PS1 are a must-play.

You could try it for yourself. It's available on PC
