9 Ways To Make A Truly Amazing Spider-Man Game

It's been too long since Spider-Man 2.

At the time, Spider-Man 2 was the best super-hero game on the market, but since then, the Arkham and Infamous games have undeniably taken the throne and our friendly, neighborhood web-head hasn€™t released a quality open-world game to his name. We emphasize the significance of an "open-world€ because that€™s where Spidey€™s powers belong, but also because the best Spider-Man games since 2004 haven€™t given us a true New York. Shattered Dimensions was an exceptional, albeit linear Spidey outing, and while the recent Amazing Spider-Man 2 brings back realistic web-swinging, it all feels way floatier than we€™d like it to €” no better than the best moments that Spider-Man 2 and its knock-offs have achieved. In Spidey's City, the street-level decor always skimps on realistic detail, people and traffic. The side-missions are always repetitive and impersonal. The Peter Parker angle is never explored effectively. In the wake of hundred-layer-cakes like Grand Theft Auto and many other massively explorable, hugely interactive game worlds, this simply won't do anymore. With a new generation and no more excuses, we want the sandbox Spider-Man experience we've only dreamed about. Rocksteady has proven that Batman's core identity can work magic when creatively fused with his gameplay mechanics, and we wish more comic-book games worked as well within that web of fiction, function and tone. If we pulled all the strings, these are the 9 ways we€™d make the best Spider-Man game ever€

His profile picture features James as Serbian, vampire comic Dorde Mehailo with His anonymous Brother and Uncle at the Nerdmelt Showroom in West Hollywood. In James' spare time, he engages in acting, writing, athletics, hydration, hours of great pondering and generally wishing you'd like him.
