The Spectacular Spider-Man (2016 VIDEO GAME)

The Spectacular Spider-Man is a last-gen/current-gen video game based on Marvel Comics' Spider-Man, titling on the Xbox One, PC, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. This will be Rocksteady 's first Marvel video game, as they will start this successful project after 2015's success of Batman: Arkham Knight. The game will be developed by Rocksteady, that now uses the licence of Marvel. It will be published by Treyarch.

It is a fresh start to the Spider-Man video game genre, taking it to the next level after the successors of The Ultimate Spider-Man in 2005 and Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows in 2008. Rocksteady 's Sefton Hill has said that if the video game is successful, there will be a sequel(s). The game will begin developing for a period of 25 months, beginning in July 2014, finishing the video game in August 2016, and releasing in October 25th, 2016. There has been many delays, ie the video game was originally set to release in the US on June 10th, 2015, but because of how big the development was, they delayed it over two times.

Game Features
The Spectacular Spider-Man brings a new taste of the superhero-action-adventure genre of gaming by setting up a larger scale of New York from Queens to Manhattan to the Statue Of Liberty. It brings Spider-Man alive by having realistic web movement/web swinging. There is a system called Peter Parker Or Spider-Man where, aside from the main story and sometimes even tying into the main story (but rarely), the player has the ability to balance the life of Peter Parker and Spider-Man and juggle the consequences of the two egos ie getting home to Aunt May in time by a certain time or stopping crime in the city. The player gets to access Spider-Man's watch and see the time and the date and year and the weather. This brings the realistic aspect to the game.

The graphics are set 3860 fps on Xbox One and Playstation 4 and 1080 fps on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, as well as the PC. For example, when it's raining, it appears Spider-Man's suit is wet. And another example is when the player is swinging, it is stopped if curved into a building curve. Buildings are a lot broader.

Players can access Spider-Man's alter ego, Peter Parker, by going to his Aunt's house. You have the ability to drink water, which, if health bar is low, can increase the health bar and get health bonus, which can lead to more upgrades regarding health. You can go into Peter's room that has his closet of his clothes as Peter Parker, which can be bought at stores around the city, and Spider-Man's suits acquired by playing challenges, competing in races (which require online), and taking pictures in the Daily Events for the Daily Bugle.

Upgrades in video game can be acquired by Spidey Points that can be earned by doing more missions, balancing Spidey and Peter's life, etc. Upgrades are categorized into Strength, Wall-Crawling, Combat & Wall-Crawling Tricks, Web-Swinging, Speed, and Stealth.

You can access a cell phone which has Peter's emails, text messages, the Daily Bugle app, Replay Missions, and his contacts, which can be used for hanging out. Hanging out with your friends such as Mary Jane, Felicia Hardy, Harry Osborn, etc. When you hang out, doing activities like watching a movie, eating dinner, etc, it is always put into cinematic mode and can see what Peter has to say to his friends.

Rocksteady goals to make players happy by putting in a Social Club, where players can download on their Androids and iPhones, which helps players communicate with Rocksteady by requesting cool easter eggs and cameos they wish to see to appear in the video game.

The video game will include a variety of things to do; when you get bored of doing the main missions, you can do so much from hanging out with Mary Jane Watson to doing tricks off the Statue Of Liberty to earn Spidey Points. There will be a variety of side missions, as well as many main missions to keep the player playing for 4+ hours.

Story
New York's wit-cracking, Webhead vigilante, Spider-Man, is still trying to find his way into protecting New York. With being the role of vigilante for only two months and living by his Uncle Ben's name, he ends up between a conflict of multiple gangs in the streets of New York, but he knows that they are all tied to the death of Uncle Ben and one crime king; the Kingpin. He gets caught up in the violent war in the streets, as the Kingpin creates a larger crime empire and Spider-Man meets his greatest villain yet- the Green Goblin. As the war goes on and Spider-Man is in between this, it will be up to Spider-Man to save himself and New York from the Kingpin and his deadly forces.
