This is the best comic superhero game ever, and you can't even refute that claim
This is not Spider-Man 2 my nigga. Heck, even Prototype 1 is better than both of these.

>>738702312This game unironically needs a remaster, as, aside from the Dreamcast version, the others all suffer from technical issues.

>>738705887This nigga legitimately scared me
>>738705421I'm, not here for some faggot debate that will just boil down to who has shit taste (you). I don't care about your autistic reasons the game is bad. Game makes me feel like batman fighting faggots like you in Gotham. It's peak and your just a gay /v/ contrarian like all the rest. Bitter loser mad people enjoy things.
>>738705887https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZQfZu4jMEg
>>738705669Dude, the Arkham games fucking sucked as games. The first one was new, so it was fun. But they kept repeating the formula and only made the map bigger, so you wasted more time. Spider-Man was pure gameplay with several new maps, locations, and sometimes new gimmicks. The sewer maze was the worst of the game, but the Arkham City and everything after it, was equally bad as the sewer maze level
I'm currently playing the latest Spider Man and enjoying it. The traversal is really fun and the side quests all have significant lore attached to them. The main story is interesting too. Peter, Harry and Miles all have attractive personalities. The combos are really diverse as well, though I usually just stick to a few
>>738704625I played the PS1 and PC version and didn't have any issues. The only technical issue I ever came across was during the Venom chase where you go through the building. Spiderman would either jump down or climb the wall, both which can be nulled by spamming R2
>>738705948>I like to eat shit and Io don't care it's shit. It's totally peak
>>738706469>"I forgot how to have fun and I get very mad when other people are having fun." I don't care, faggot. Go suck a dick someplace else.
>>738706551>melting down this hard
Wtf are you autists arguing about? in a spider-man thread of all things
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC2k69zKj4kVenom, Monster Ock and this intro scared the shit out of me as a kid. Then again it was the literal first non edutainment game I ever played as like a 3 year old so I was also fucking stupid. Atmosphere in this game was awesome.
Parker HATES IT when get the drop on him!
>>738706225>But they kept repeating the formula and only made the map bigger, so you wasted more time.Ah yes, let's ignore how much Arkham City and Knight have expanded the Arkham gameplay for combat and stealth, and all the new enemies you had to deal that changes how you playAnyway, opinion discarded
>>738707497Arkham City was literally the same as Arkham Asylum but the map was now expanded, adding more fat and bloat. The combat was barely any different. Don't kid yourself. And Origin was a carbon copy of City, but worse in every way
Alright, I'm gonna ask something here that I wouldn't normally but I played this game a lot as a kid and you've got me feeling nostalgic. What is a good run of Spiderman that specifically has the cool and fun 90s feel this game has? I've never read Spiderman the comic before, basically the only non manga comicbook experience I've had was reading my dad's copy of Ultimatum and not understanding why he liked that shit.
>>738707598Ultimate Spiderman and Shattered Dimensions have the early 00s late 90s feel where it was during attitude era. I don't think there are any other Spiderman games with the same aesthetic and feel of the PS1 game. There's Enter Electro, the sequel, but it's not really as fun as the first game.
>>738707736I actually meant recommendations for the comics themselves, but I did own and love the Ultimate Spiderman game on PS2, more then the Spiderman 2 movie game. The look and tone of that game was great.
>>738707248>I hate it when he gets the drop on me!
>>738707598Just read Spider-Man: Blue
>>738707909Ah, I see. I don't really read comics. I only watch the cartoons and play the games. Ask /co/ maybe
You put me in this suit... now I'm going to make you pay!
>>738702312Yh but shame they don’t make it like this anymore
>>738707589>Arkham City was literally the same as Arkham AsylumYou are objectively wrongThere are tons of mechanics that Arkham City introduces that's not present in Asylum. The guys that fight you with blades in Asylum are nothing like in City and later games. You can't dive bomb nor grapnel boost in Asylum. There is no multi-takedown in Asylum eitherIt's clear as a day that you are talking out of your ass
>>738707598Todd McFarlane's run (Spider-Man #1) is about as 90s as Spider-Man gets.JM DeMatteis's run on Spectacular (Spectacular Spider-Man #178) is also very good, but doesn't really feel as "90s"If you want a broader recommendation then I'd say both Amazing Spider-Man around #224 and Spectacular Spider-Man around #103 are both great places to read from. The 80s is where comics peaked in general
I like enter electro better. Even thought i like the first one too
>>738702312wanted an excuse to talk about the official Kellogg demo version which is just an official hack of the game but with milk billboards and Sam Raimi Spider-Man advertisements and an exclusive suit
>>738708396What happens next?
>>738707957>>738708510Ty anons, I tried reading Spawn once after seeing the HBO show but didn't like it outside the art. Will probably like McFarlanes Spiderman a lot more thoughbeit.
>>738708582Enter Electro felt like it was building up to a story we never saw, Beetle just fucks off after leaving the train and was never caught or fought or anything.
>>738707909Oh yeah to add on to >>738708510 if you specifically want the look of the Ultimate Spider-Man game then check out Amazing Spider-Man from #352 onwards. Mark Bagley takes over as the main artist and he's what the USM game is based on. Story quality is very hit and miss around that era but the art is consistently great until he leaves near the end of the Clone Saga.You could also just read the early Ultimate Spider-Man stuff, but I think it's kind of meh
>>738708640Nah, McFarlane was a good artist but just sucks as a writer, he needs someone to tard-wrangle him (like David Michelinie).Other Spider-Man stuff you may be interested in is the Michelinie-Bagley run, because that's where Venom and Spidey finally start to go from enemies to not-quite-friends, and Carnage is introduced. That run starts at Amazing Spider-Man #351
>>738708657Because the game suffered from developmental hell and it was by a completely differentg team
>>738708665I've heard of the clone saga before, very infamous era of the story from what I've heard but honestly I feel like with what I've heard happen in the comics while I've been alive it probably isn't so bad in comparison. Plus I'd finally be able to get context on the Spiderman in the blue hoodie action figure my dad got me as a kid without explaining why he looked like that kek.>>738708751It's so strange all of his ideas for the set up of the story and the mechanics of Spawn's powers where he's both able to take on big demons but needs to conserve his strength for the weak goons was brilliant, you can do anything with that character and the HBO show was excellent at capitalizing on him. But then I read the comic and yeah all those ideas were there but the execution was just so much more awkward and kind of lame. I'll always remember how disappointed I was in the Violator basically just being a big doof that yaps about how big and strong he is compared to the snake he was in the show.
>>738709019>Plus I'd finally be able to get context on the Spiderman in the blue hoodie action figure my dad got me as a kid without explaining why he looked like that kek.Scarlet Spider, AKA Ben Reilly. He was a good guy. Clone Saga is collected into 4 massive omnibus editions with 1000+ pages each. It's got some crazy shit in it, like Judas Traveller. I grew up in the 90s so for me it was just the status quo for Spider-Man for a long time, and then JMS takes over the book with spider-totems... haha
>>738709019I'm a pretty big Clone Saga apologist so take what I say with a grain of salt, but it's not that bad. The early stories and the late stories (where Ben has taken over as Spider-Man) are pretty good, it's just the stuff in the middle that kinda sucks. It's definitely better than anything that's come out recently, not that that's saying much.Like the other anon said there's omnibus's that collect it all for easy reading (and they've been scanned online) so you don't have to worry about jumping between five different books for the full story. Alternatively if you want there's been at least two or three storytimes of it on /co/ if you feel like looking through the archives
>>738706016based
>>738709383>Ben ReillyOh I've heard that name before. People are all excited and happy to see him back as Chasm, right...?Honestly I've turned my nose up at marvel comics for a while since I've been dragged out to see every marvel movie that's come out in the last 30 years by my dad and the new comics that came out at the time always felt edgy miserable shit or something that just makes people upset like the whole OMD thing but I'm feeling willing to broaden my horizons a little since I DID like the cartoons and games as a kid and they had a pretty different tone.>>738709648The worst I've heard about this arc was that it was convoluted and confusing, which compared to the upsetting and pointless books I've tried reading when I was younger is probably fine. Don't know if I'd start with it but if I like some of the other reccs I might try the Clone saga out. I do like when things get a little gonzo anyway.
>>738709816Oh yeah definitely don't start with it. In my opinion Spider-Man is pretty good the whole way through the 60s through to the end of the 90s, but that's a pretty big commitment. Starting with the 80s or 90s is your best bet
>>738702312They blew their load roster wise on this game that no one ever gives a shit for Enter Electro.
>>738710121Sandman was cool, you had to get him wet to hurt him.
>>738702312My dad pirated me this off of Sharebear when I was a kid, only the problem was that all the video files were corrupted so I could only figure out what was happening through the levels. Without context this games a pretty decent horror game. Blew my nuts off seeing all the memes for this game I missed.
>>738702753We don't talk about that one
>>738710274The lizardmen and the symbiotes are pretty freaky enemies
>>738702312>Welcome, True Believers and newcomers alike. Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee here. Once again we find our hero Peter Parker, better known around the world as the amazing Spider-Man, in a heap of trouble. But this is just the beginning, Spidey fans. So get ready for a true superhero action thriller, packed to the brim with thrills and chills, twists and turns, more super-villains than you can shake a web at, and of course, non-stop web-slinging, wall-crawling action.
>>738710424For once, Stan didn't lie
>>7387101912 was going up against, Mysterio, Doc-Ock, Venom, Rhino, Carnage, Cpt America, Johnny Storm, Punisher, Scorpion, Black Cat, Daredevil, And an exclusive final boss Monster-Ock. Everyone in 2 is like Spider-Mans B team Rouges gallery and side characters.
>>738702312Imprecise controls, missions that make you feel like a retard the whole game. Nah this shit was better as a demo
>>738710589>missions that make you feel like a retard the whole gameHow do you mean?
>>738704954
>>738704954Are you the OP? Because you have shit taste claiming that Spiderman game is the best comic game when it's not even the best Spiderman game (Spiderman 2 PS2 and ultimate Spiderman are both better.) And the Arkham trilogy is great. The combat is meant to be rhythm game like. The challenge often comes from trying to string together as big of a combo as you can.>But it's easy!!Don't care. Not every game has to be Ninja Gaiden. And the stealth parts of the game are great too.
>>738702312It actually feels like a fun silly comic book story, not trying to be edgy or a Hollywood movie, we never gonna get capeshit games like this again.
>>738709816>ChasmI stopped giving a shit when they changed Ben from being a brother to being a fucking asshole to Peter.
>>738702312I love how this game can just casually include cameos from Daredevil, the Punisher, and Captain America but the best the new Spider-Man games can do is, "OH, LOOK! IT'S THE HULK'S FAVORITE BENCH!" Intellectual property rights might be the worst thing ever created by mankind.
>>738710778Yeah, the game felt like a 90s marvel comic book (pre-clone saga), wasn't overly pretentious and just focused on spidey and some other marvel character cameos in a fun adventure.
>>738710983>MJ gets kidnapped and almost drowns in sewer water>Peter goes to hang out with the guys (and Black Cat) instead of her in the endWow, what a prick
As a HulkCHAD, Ultimate Destruction is my HOLY GRAIL. God, what I wouldn't do for a sequel to it.
>>738710589>Imprecise controlsYou haven't played the games of the era and it shows>>738702312Honestly, based, I don't even care if it's not true, the og spiderman games... kind of make me feel the way I felt when I was still a kid... when I was still blind to how the garbage the world was... Wich I suppose there's an irony in that.On an unrelated note, question to the anon since it's been an eternity but... what's even the plot anymore? The amazing fantasy and the main continuity was 616 while the others are alternative timelines/universes owned by marvel/disney? Ehat's even the story in 616 looking like? Peter just being the punching back of the writers after thr Paul incident? I feel like many writers forget what made spiderman cool. The reason why I liked Stan Lee's SM more was the realism. Peter, as his character and the reason why he is poor, is the choice in life to be a hero at the downside of his own life, social aspect or otherwise... certain writers just go yolo on the "lol, Peter must get cucked cuz ye lmao"
>>738702312I can already hear the title screen banger theme!
>>738710983And if they are included they'd be written as too boring and serious. Or horribly unlikeable mary sues like pic related.
>>738704574I’m already at full health!
>>738711225Golden
>>738711158Don't read 616 Spidey. He is ruined and will be ruined until current editors leave. Every other book in 616 is miles better than ASM. Hulk, Thor, and Moon Knight are pure SOVL tho.
>>738711158Ah shit, forgot to correct my own shitty grammar, oh well... also fuck the Samsung smartphone kb ui, makes writing from a phone, a living hell and also corrects my own sentences for whatever reason>>738711260Quite a shame then.The reason why I went into Owod back in the day, was their style looking like a hyper-realistic, much more mature take on comics... even if sometimes some of the plot and panels we're... just goofy I guess, lol...V5 is pretty much... what you described 616 to be.
That faggot Tallarico said he can release the hq version of the soundtrack and still hasn't done it. Wtf is stopping him?https://youtu.be/QmMdv2y1ZDM?si=mmKyUQEUCgEnGF2O
>>738711087Based. Fuck MJ.
>>738709648Clone Saga would be a lot better if not for Traveller being dogshit and Jackall getting more retarded as time went on for no real reason.
>>738702312I think Batman: Arkham Asylum was very good
>>738709816>ChasmFuck no. Ben Reilly was best as Peter's brother.
>>738710962If you told me 20 years ago that Kaine would be the best brother to Peter I would have laughed at you.
>>738702312The most broken op melee combo wad spamming kick into punch over and over
>>738711087Honestly based and Kek-pilled. The writers gave us a warning in advance since the early 2000s and even Mj in that game was annoying."You must save meh, AAAAAAA. Peter Parker if you don't take me down I'll tear you a new hole"Me behind the monitor as a kid: Bitch, motherfucker is fighting an insane lunatic 3 times his size and weight and talking about fixing the city, you can stand there one more minute.Mj was the chud of the first game while black cat was the giga chadette out there giving us info
>>738711613>>738711642They should have been Spider-bros....
>>738711693Sorry man, Marvel says we can't have Ben be a good guy because then we'd have too many Spider-Men running around. Please pay no attention to the current running series with Miles Morals teaching two Spider-Kids how to be Spider-Man.
>tfw you have more fun playing this than new spidey gamewhy
>>738712078It gets to the point immediately.
>>738712078huffing nostalgia and ignoring gameplay.
>>738712142What's wrong with the gameplay? You punch and web up bad guys, crawl on walls and ceilings, swing and zip around. Simple but effective.
>>738711078>the game felt like a 90s marvel comic book (pre-clone saga)My dream would be a series of spidey games that followed the comics more closely in aesthetics, stories and designs, from the 60s to early 90s, ending just before the clone saga, it would be a gift for old spider fans, it could have the gameplay of this first inmsoniac spider game but without the shitty story
>>738712453Like to pretend the last 30 or marvel comics never happened
>>738711503>>738711687Screw you, I love MJ
>>738712643>This and Raimi MJMJ fans have to be on suicide watch at this point>>738712142Games can be more than just their gameplay. Some of the best games are mechanically very simple.
>Spider-man>character that is all about power and responsibility>unable to let go of his old and dying aunt>sacrifices his marriage, his daughter and his future to the devilFUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! Peter and MJ were couple goals. MJ was literally ride or die for Peter. I miss the marriage so much.
>>738712643I'm sure you can stay with Peter in the corner on the chair, while Paul does the deed.
>>738702312'ey Ma man 'ey Ma Man 'ey Ma Spider-ManFriendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!
>>738712929Paul's dead, man
THE VENOM MARATHON CONTINUES ON THE BIGGEST TV IN NEW YORK
>>738712929marvel made up a new villain who just killed Paul and then died himself. Also he killed Shocker but he'll be daijoubu in a year or so.
>>738712867Can you imagine current Peter being a father?
>>738712934Honestly a kick ass fucking remixhttps://youtu.be/uzlPw1um57k?si=0IXQ4IKdWwrLhPyP

Where'd Spider-Wuss go? SPIDER WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSS! COME OUT AND PLAAAAYYYY!!!
>>738713067>>738712971Venom as this goofy manchild was a lot of fun
>>738712948>>738712979Had to fact check that shit real quick... Guess the backlash was that big...Still 10 bucks Peter is somehow still on the cuck chair... just like most M.J fans...
>>738702312its the nortubel of comic superhero games
>>738713116What's a nortubel?
why do capeshit games of all things draw in the most pedantic subhumans of /v/?
>>738713031Based. MC2 is KINO.
I enjoy an influx of comfy capeKINO threads recently.
Poker night with the capebros looked comfy. Also how is the Punisher just randomly hanging out with them?
>>738713394How is Matt seeing his own deck?
>>738713413Poorly.
>>738713394Peter is cheating with his Spider-sense.
>>738713173thats just superheroes in general2000ad and heavy metal/metal hurlant > capeshit
>>738712981why is he so happy about having a child? This means less free time to do whatever he wants, not like he has any to begin with.
CapeKINO board. GODvel board.
Bummer... you're in the doghouse now, dude.
>>738713394Frank appeared in that one cutscene so he got to come.
>>738713460Matt has been looking at Frank's hand all night.
>>738713413He doesn't need to, he can just use his radar sense to tell how nervous everyone else is, deduce if they've got shit or not and bluff his way to victory
>>738713709What a cunt
>>738713764Matt Murdock is not a role model.
>>738713101They haven't been together for 20 years bro, it's time to let go.
>>738714838For me, they're still together because I refuse to read either OMD or any Spider-Man comic that follows it in continuity.Do not try to break up my favorite couple. I am very powerful.
>>738715012>Do not try to break up my favorite couple. I am very powerful.
>>738702312Ahem
>>738715012Prime....
>>738715196>>738715294He's right, you know
>>738715494He's right that they should, but it's just not going to happen and at this point it doesn't matter that much. He's had better girls since then, including a literal midget.
>>738702312Y'know, Peter just kinda left Cletus to die in that underwater base as it exploded, he even saved Doc Ock from there. Cletus doesn't even show up in the prison scene at the end.
>>738716094Cletus was a serial killer before he became Carnage, good riddance
>>738702312SURF THE WEBSURF THE WEB
>>738702312UATUSEESAlright, /v/, show us everything.
>>738716629THE SUB-MARINER?
>>738713091It's one of the reasons I liked the Venom movie, he kinda reminded me of Venom in Spider-Man 2000
>>738706285There's also a sewer sequence, the Mysterio boss fight and probably other places I missed. Half the scripts shit themselves above 20fps. The PS1 runs with 15fps by default while the PC version was always considered broken. The Dreamcast version is the latest and most patched version and it is noticeable.
>>738702312Him da mon, him da mon, him do wuteva a spida con
>>738712867>character that is all about power and responsibilityActually, Spider-Man is all about youth.
>>738716318Perfect Spidey and Venom voices.Actually nearly perfect voices for everyone, love the Doc Ock and Mysterio too
Kid mode
>>738707598Maybe just start from when Roger Stern took over. I think it's issue 220 or something. It's pretty much all great from that point in my opinion. Right up until the late 90s. I haven't read everything because there's like 4 ongoing titles by the late 80s I think, but I bought a tablet recently and downloaded everything so I will eventually go back and read the titles that I never got to read back in the day. There's loads of stuff I don't think they've reprinted to this day for me to get through and I fucking love 80-90s comics. I'm trying to read a lot of shit I've never read before though before I do any re-reads. Seriously though lads. A £200 tablet + 500gb SD card and you can read anything. I just got done with picrel and it's one of the best comics Marvel have ever put out.
>>738720270Note: half of Roger Stern's run wasn't on ASM, he was on Spectacular Spider-Man first (starting with issue 43)
>>738717564>Mysterio tooI only realised on my most recent playthrough that Mysterio's actor also voiced Cosmo
>>738720270This is the guy with the delete gun, right?
>>738708657I always wondered what happen this this dood and what was leeding up to.
>>738704691Celebration of comics
>>738704691There is actually five batmans.
>>738722040Times change, Spider-Man.
>>738711225>>738711252I miss CDB
>>738705051How did the thugs get the bomb in there in the first place?
>enter spider-man thread>it's all batman talkbatman fucking sucks dick, get out of here
>>738710424:'(
Bamham fucking sucks and caused irreversible damage to action, give 7th gen toddlers shit for that on every opportunity.
>>738725707It wasn't him in the game.
>>738713394What are they drinking?
>>738726252Oh right, I forgotStill, my statement stands
I actually really liked Spider-Man PS4Remains the only PS game I've ever platinumed.
>>738726453Same. Him screaming for Mary Jane as she vaporizes is burned into my mind.
>>738726617SHOCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
Spiderman 2 what if mode was just so lame and gay.Instead of cool cameos and easter eggs we get fucking bananas in like 3 levels. What the fuck went wrong?
>>738705725>all these characters being voiced by the same guysLiterally had no idea, to think western voice work was actually good at some point.
>>738707598Just Watch TAS
>>738720959He's also Venom, Scorpion, Punisher, Human Torch and Captain America.
>>738726725the 90s animated symbiote saga is so fucking good, man. the entire cartoon is cool as hell but that really is a highlight, only other part i really remember/like as much is the secret wars. seeing Dr Doom suddenly teleport to the Beyonder - the look on his fucking face when DOOM appears - and then instantly calling off the entire experiment was so damn funny to me when i rewatched it a few years ago
>>738731180Yeah the symbiote saga had some episodes with some pretty impressive animation. Also just love Venom and the symbiote in general. Like I said, Christopher Daniel Barnes did a great job as spidey. Besides that, the mutant spider part was pretty neat too I thought. Also loved the Spider Slayer robots that Smythe made. I always wanted the toys of them as a kid but I never got them :*(
>>738702312The reason I consider this the best superhero game ever despite it's age and shortcomings comes down solely to the sort of tone it has. I don't know if the word is exuberance or excitement or whatever. But you had Stan Lee doing his best as the hype man between levels, you could collect actual comics, there were all the different costumes, it was a relatively bright and colorful game, you had the old Spider-Man theme redone in late 90's techno with some Jamaican guy rambling, it has a tone that was completely in your face about being a superhero game.
