What I'd do is make the city smaller and make the environments bigger. By this I mean, we have this whole big city to play in but why? What do you do there? Nothing but swing and swing and swing and beat up Generic thug 1 and generic thug 2.

I'd have the game center around just a small chunk of the city and up everything that that chunk offers you to do.

Have a working, living, breathing, functioning, section of the city and various location you go to and that's it. Not a bunch of empty space you do nothing in.

Make the most of the space available. Go back to level to level if you have to. Spiderman 1 was still the best looking and playing one of all of them, if you ask me. Spiderman 2 looks like spew spurts and 3 was an abomination of a game.

Every developer thinks they're going to break the mold by making everything bigger. That's not the best route to take. Make the game bigger in otherways.

Gameplay, interaction, moves, animations, locations you visit individually, people we meet, how the behave and react.

It's not GTA, it's Spiderman. A comic book has structure, so should we when playing. We're not making our own hero, he's already established. We just need to carry out his heroic actions.

Disagree all you want, you know deep down I am right.

well its a movie game. what do you expect?

...into GTA4 instead of Niko and I'd be okay with that :) Nevertheless he brings up very valid points. There's only so much you can do with a Spiderman game. Fighting crime with an occasional boss fight or getting Peter home before curfew while trying to fight crime it's going to all be about the same.
