Anyone else looking forward to this?

It looks like this Spider-Man game will blow the rest out of the water. Even better, it's taking pages from Arkham Asylum/City's combat system!

The confirmed list of villains so far is: Vermin, Rhino, Iguana (not the Lizard), Scorpion, Felicia Hardy (pre-Black Cat), and the Spider Slayer. Otto Octavius, Alister Smythe, and Michael Morbius are also related to the events of the game, as is Oscorp.

<Chris Barnes voice> Alistair Smythe?!?!?!?</Chris Barnes voice>

Lol, man he was a ham in that show.

Anyway, Spider-Man games are pretty much always good so this should be alright.

I'm surprised the game is coming out before the movie, though. [lol]

If it's at least as good as Spider-Man 2, it'll be a must-buy for me, regardless of what I think of the movie.

I read that it was Scorpia, not Scorpion, who'd be in this game. Still looking forward to it (and being able to play as Stan Lee if I preorder), though.

Iknorite?

Rhino is also playable, though in a short mini-game from what I heard.

Honestly Rhino sounds like the better bonus just because it'll be so different

The Stan Lee thing also apparently comes with a series of missions tasking the player with retrieving pages of one of Stan The Man's many manuscripts.

Anybody else notice a similarity to the Arkham series in terms of combat?

That was deliberate. They used a similar system.

I even mentioned that in the first post.

Spider-Man is voiced by Sam Riegel it seems. I was expecting Andrew Garfield, but this isn't bad.

Also, THE RHINO!

Same demo as the first clip, just with a bit more exploration and experimenting with the web swinging.

And finally, a longer video which shows the end (?) of the Rhino fight in addition to some of Spidey's fight with the S-Bot Spider Slayer.
