Amazing Spider-Man 2 Video Game Trailer Released

Activision and Marvel Entertainment have just released the first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game. The game was developed by Beenox, which is the same game studio behind 2012's original The Amazing Spider-Man video game. The game is a third-person action-adventure, and it builds on the story of the previous game with an alternative take on the events of the upcoming movie. In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, players once again assume the role of the iconic Super Hero in a unique side-story inspired by the feature film but set in its own continuity. Throughout his journey, Spider-Man will encounter a number of new foes as well as some old friends, as he confronts a new threat to his beloved city. The narrative will give Peter Parker, Spider-Man's nerdy photojournalist persona, a greater role in the spotlight, as he investigates the complicated motivations and unique personalities behind the menagerie of Marvel menaces threatening Manhattan. As Spidey, players will be able to free-roam through a greatly-enhanced Manhattan cityscape, one set to offer livelier, more engaging opportunities with which to put his sensational skills to use. Central to the expansive depth and detail being poured into The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game is the new "Hero or Menace" system, which incentivizes Super Hero behavior by rewarding the web-slinger's crime-fighting efforts, and adds consequences for letting criminality fester. Spider-Man's personal brand of web-swinging and up-close-and-personal combat will see a variety of new features as well. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game is set to be released in the spring to coordinate with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie. The game will be released for PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system and Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, Nintendo's Wii U™ system and Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system, and Windows PC.
