Why the Eff Can't a Good Spiderman Game Exist?!

Beer + Videogames: Spiderman. The iconic image of this forty-something superhero is as ingrained in the national psyche as the image of Superman or Babe Ruth. You don't even need to read comic books to know him, he's just Spiderman. The web-head is so well known that there's actually a tongue-in-cheek psychological reference to him: the so-called "Peter Parker Complex."

Because developers are too worried about rushing a licensed product to market with a shoe horned storyline and cookie cutter physics, just so they can sell it to idiots.

If Sony had the IP or license to make a Spiderman game, have it developed internally within one of their many talented studios, give it a budget and some care -- It'd be huge.

As long as Activision has the license it's gonna suck. No matter what.

Spiderman Developed by Suckerpunch, one can dream.

Anyway, Since Spiderman really shouldn't be a first party game, i think i would love to see rocksteady take a shot at it, they did wonder with batman AA

Spiderman 2 was pretty awesome.

Still my favorite spiderman game, because it really captured the feeling of swinging through NYC.

Perjoss5682d ago

I read somewhere that a big license like this costs a ton and leaves less cash for the actual development of the game. I guess there's always the fact that a big name like Spiderman will auto-sell games so need need to make it good?

I really loved the Spiderman Noi segments in Shattered Demensions. They should dedicate an entire game to just that story. But let him be action to..Think You'll finally have your Arkham Spidey.

Hardbladestone5683d ago

the should let sucker punch make one

antz11045682d ago

Spidey 2 was pretty good, as was Web of Shadows. 3 and Shattered Dimensions were total let downs IMO tho.

RyuStrife5683d ago

I could say the same thing about Superman.

xino5682d ago

Shattered Dimensions!

-Ninja Gaiden 3- is sick!:)

I would've named it shattered identity because it tried to be many things GOW,Batman AA etc... its like they had no solid idea on which gameplay to focus on and it left things halfassed. The cameras was bad the swinging was bad, the spider crawling was bad.

....this guy hasn't played Web of Shadows....by far the best Spidey game to date.

evrfighter5682d ago

the best spiderman game to date doesn't mean it's great. Just means that there's been decent in a pile of trash.

yeracnivek715682d ago

Can you not even be bothered to read the TITLE, let alone the article?? He CLEARLY says "good". Web of Shadows is VERY good, IMO...but definitely qualifies as "good".

Leafhopper5682d ago

The PS1/N64 Spiderman before the movies started is the greatest spiderman game of all time.

antz11045682d ago

If that was the one where Doc Oc got taken over by Carnage at the ned then YES I agree. That one needs an update.
