How to make a GOOD spider-man game:

1.Combat mechanichs of Spiderman 2 and Ultimate mixed.

2.Animations of Spiderman:Web of Shadows.

3.Voice acting and some humor of Shatattered Dimensions.

4.Music of Cod.

5.NY like in GTA 4 and good story.

Now do it Activision!!!

@HiHats21 you hate ALL the godfathers??!! i don't usually judge but wtf!! did joker really carve his own face in the comics? no he was contaminated with chemicals yet we still loved the movie..don't look at comic-based movies as actually copying the comics but just be thankful that even with some minor tweeks they still remain faithful to the characters

[FireFistShikamaru]

@Rnzzy Actually, the Joker never fell into a chemical vat in the comics. That origin is just a rumor. No one knows his actual origin (not even him). There's been multiple origins of Joker shown in flashbacks in the comics but they're all just rumors of how he became the Joker. This is later explained in The Killing Joke when he says "Sometimes I remember it oneway, sometimes another. If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice." So the way he became the Joker is still unknown.

Got it. Make spidey go against all of his enemies, in a good story locked in a confined space. Which he did. 12 years ago...

If you are sick to play Spider-Man game... so STOP PLAYING YOU DUMB IGN FAG!!!

[Maxssx3]

Why people can't understand! You can't compare Spider-Man with Batman! Its like compare Super Mario Bros. with The Legend of Zelda! Its 2 different game, gameplay and graphics! Damn...

here's an idea what if rocksteady make spiderman game for activision i hope that would be cool thumbs up if u like!

[toonyfatninjas]

@GeorgianHalfLifeFan yeah! but that don't change the fact that their trying to beef him up just to keep up with the of the sheep's.a nano suit should be a military thing or man-made not from aliens/ and any one but the already beef up hero's should have it instead.cause that would be like winning the lottery twice.just look at batman he can only get stronger by upgrading gadgets and by being smarter and that's what makes him a good character still needs improvements thought.

[GeorgianHalfLifeFan]

@GeorgianHalfLifeFan Nanosuit-more of a protective vest and cloacking device.(It would be cool to manualy put it on and of)

[GeorgianHalfLifeFan]

@toonyfatninjas Also,the nanosuit isn't WHAT futuristic,as in Spider-Man Unlimited he "borrowed" the prototype from Reed Richards lab(watch first two episodes and you will understand),and also,it would have had limited amount of power,and after its energy depleted on armor,Spider-Man would die,like in 2-3 shots.Also,cloack would stop any protective benefits from thhe suit.The suit wouldn't have made him any more powerfull-Armor,Cloack,some other of his gadgets-things WHICH he has already made.

[GeorgianHalfLifeFan]

@toonyfatninjas Well,I really have many ideas for a spiderman game,and many are like you said.

Also,your ideas about combat system,at least the part that you have to find enemy's weakness,has already been done in Spider-Man 2 movie game,and UNLIKE BAA,you REALLY couldn'd go button mashing on enemies,because most of advanced enemies would block your normal attacks.Also,Why does Batman have to get 10X combo to be able to use special attacks in BAA?
