The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - new screens, tons of gameplay details
- slinging web uses the left and right triggers
- hold left down and you’ll swing forward for a bit before gaining altitude and listing to the left
- press demo kicks off with Peter Parker entering a private fund-raising even
- get to control Peter outside of his Spider-Man suit
- Parker runs into Harry Osborn and they begin to talk
- choose between several dialog options
- the conversation turns to the Fisks, and how Osborn thinks they're into illegal activities
- a waiter walks by with drinks, which sets of Peter's Spidey-Sense
- Peter knocks the tray over, which was carrying a poison drink
- Peter changes into Spider-Man and follows the waiter backstage to find Russian mobsters
- the mobsters have a 'bruiser' character who has to be immobilized with a charge attack before he can be damage
- Spider-Man has a move that lets you web together two enemies by the face, jump into the air and slam them together
- this transitions into a stealth part of the game
- you find out that the mob was guarding an experimental sui
- when you get close to the suit, you're attacked by a speedy female character outfitted with blades
- you have to use dodges and web pulls to defeat her
- new hero system brings side-missions into play
- these will pop up on the minimap as players progress through the campaign
- they can be ignored, but at a cost
- example: Spider-Man can use his spider senses to navigate through the smoke of a burning building and carry out unconscious victims
- this good deed will be recognized through a special segment on the Bugle Channel, featuring anchor Whitney Chang
- example: fail at a bomb-disposal mission and J. Jonah Jameson will take to the airwaves, wondering why Spidey didn’t call the police instead of trying to figure it out himself
- as you gain more acclaim or notoriety, you’ll be treated differently
- civilians will clap when they see the heroic Spider-Man, but they’ll run at one that’s seen as a public menace
- Oscorp will send out drones to attack Spider-Man
- you'll also face penalties to damage and other stats
