The Amazing Spider-Man is an upcoming open world action/adventure video game, based on the upcoming film of the same name starring the superhero, Spider-Man. It is being developed by Beenox, developer of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, and Spider-Man: Edge of Time and published by Activision. The Amazing Spider-Man is set to be released on June 26, 2012 in North America and June 29, 2012 in Europe, on Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS, Wii, Android, and iOS. The game will serve as an epilogue to The Amazing Spider-Man film.The game has been scripted and written by Seamus Kevin Fahey, of Battlestar Galactica fame.
The game has an open world/free-roaming concept, where the player can "swing around" and choose a variety of side missions, challenges and mini-games in addition to the game's main storyline. The game features a "Web Rush" mechanic, a mode that when activated while traversing, highlights major points of interest for travel, allowing Spider-Man to smoothly transition to it, making travel more stream-lined and simple.
The combat system is reminiscent of the Rocksteady Studios-developed Batman game series (Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City) using a freeflow design and counter attacks.Beenox took a cue from the Batman games, with Dee Brown (Beenox studio head) stating "I played both Batman games and liked them. For me, the Spider-Man character is very different than Batman. You have to approach both in a different way. I think the Rocksteady guys did a good job at providing what was required to make a great Batman game, and we're doing everything we need to this time to make a great Spider-Man game.
