capeshit that modeled itself after comic books rather than movies AND didn't need muh open world crutch that funnels itself into the same tired template

>>7689938

The great voice acting and humor, near-perfect capturing of the feel of the comics/90s cartoon, varied gameplay, not taking itself too seriously, tons of unlockable content

Everybody played the demo that came in the spiderman cereal boxes

it was the first game that made you FEEL like spiderman

>>7689938
i'm already at full health!

SOVL

>>7689956
This. I had so much fun with the different spider suits.

>>7689938

It was proud to be a Spider-Man game and also just felt good to play. All the cheats and extra costumes were fun too.

This and Punisher were so comfy. Any other good Marvel game from before the onions marvel 2008 marvel cinematic universe?

>>7689938
for starters,it had unique level design beyond open world city that every other spooder game after did,levels only spiderman itself could go through such as crawling tunnels upside down n' shit and using his web to fix broken shit

i wish neversoft still existed,goddamn

>>7689938
simple but fun gameplay, art direction, good and lighthearted self aware writing, likable characters, cameos before everything was licensing hell, great twist at the end, unlockable outfits, no autists screeching about moon swinging, a third person game that controls well in this era.
except the first sewer level, that shit sucked
>>7690575
HEY, SPIDER!

>>7690590
Spider-Man 1, 2, and Ultimate Spider-Man (another game with a comic basis) were all good; the latter two in particular. Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was fantastic, too.

>>7689938
I still have this disk, haven't played it in years. Hopefully it hasn't degraded to the point of being unplayable.

>>7689938
It was incredibly funny, fun to explore, and was satisfying in the gameplay department overall. This is what actually got me into Spider-Man/Marvel.

>>7690575
who knew a few textures and polygons could be so compelling

>>7689938
>good boss fights
>good use of Apocalypse/Tony Hawk engine
>memorable story and presentation faithful to the comics
>Stan Lee narration
>awesome cheat codes, easter eggs, and unlockables
>solid level design, swinging around freely was a lot of fun even if it wasn't open world

>>7690727
Also forgot to mention:

>superheroes were still a fun concept that wasn't fully-explored in video games, wasn't as oversaturated and played-out at the time as it is today

>>7690590
Toby Maguire Spiderman 1 and 2. 2 is great, it's a really well designed open world and you're not into that 1 is level based.
I think Wolverine Adamantium Rage is a fun action platformer that looks good but the hit detection is so fucking bad the game is unplayable to a lot of people. It does feel like you're playing as Wolverine, if he was trying to fight with his eyes closed while on elephant tranquilizers(that suspended his regeneration powers through the use of deus ex machina)
XMen arcade is a pretty fun beat em up, and Captain America and the Avengers is decent as well. Maximum Carnage(with a soundtrack written by green jello) was another ok beat em up
Spider-Man from 1995 was pretty crappy but kind of cool just because of the villains, settings and the way some of the levels are designed. Ultimately suffers in a way similar to Adamantium Rage and Spiderman moves so slow. Not only is he slow but controls don't feel responsive and a lot of the enemies are fast and cheap like OP's mom. If you were a fan of the 90s tv show you might appreciate the art style at least.
Xmen Mutant Apocalypse was pretty good but was honestly one of the weaker SNES Capcom games, which doesn't mean it's bad by any means. Definitely challenging but a lot of fun.
There was also a Hulk game I had on PS2 that was simple but pretty fun. Basically you just run around causing chaos. guy shoots at hulk, hulk throws semi truck at him. plane shoots at hulk, hulk jumps off building onto it. 3d beat em up with a semi interactive environment.

For the most part a lot of comic games suffered from similar issues as other licensed games, they were shit. A couple I listed aren't even good, just interesting for various reasons. And of course there's all the Marvel vs Capcom games.

>>7689938
Venom, of course.
>"SURF THE WEB, SURF THE WEB!"

>>7690864
my man you can't forget the sega cd game, the best cape game from 4th gen

https://youtu.be/hQC1SDUUr4M

>>7689938
What made it memorable? The Dreamcast & PC version were way better looking.

>>7691080
Lethal Foes is better as is Captain America and the Avengers

>>7689938
Because you played it when you were 12.

GREETINGS TRUE BELIEVERS AND NEWCOMERS ALIKE. SPIDER-MAN CO-CREATOR STAN LEE HERE.

>>7689938
Eat shit marvelfag

>>7690590
Hulk Ultimate Destruction, Ultimate Spiderman

What's a good way to play this on PC/emulator?

>>7691715
download the game then open with your preferred emulator?

>>7689938
1) super FUN to play.
First game i remember that acted like real 3D-open world/sandbox - you could be ANYWHERE you wanted. Go anywhere/explore. think (what if insteag going to the exit i will just crawl to that part of building HOLY SHIT THERE IS A COMICBOOK HERE)
2) dualshock was fucking fantastic with it
3) 90s Spiderman TV show went fucking amazing with it
4) colorful and fun + great music

Honestly one of the best memories of that era. I still play it on my PSP sometimes.

>>7689938
It was the first game that felt like an actual Spider-Man game. Before this, other Spider-Man titles could have been reskins of generic action games.

>>7689938
It had a good variety of levels and boss battles.
The controls and moves gave a good feeling of being Spiderman - the web swinging, climbing - and you could dispatch normal enemies in many different ways which made it fun to replay.
It had a good story with voice acting which for me was on par with the cartoon I was familiar with, nice quality for a video game.
And it had lots of secrets and collectibles that were fun and rewarding to find, especially the alternate costumes.

It's a shame no one has tried to fix the pc version

>>7690575
>I.. can't.. stop.. dancing!

>>7691725
I think youre confused with Spiderman 2 on ps2. Spiderman 1 was not open world.

>>7691816
>Spiderman 1 was not open world.
fucking brainlet

>>7691816
he means exploration in the levels rather than open world

>>7691816
spiderman 2 on xbox was open world as well

>>7690864
X-men 1 on the Genesis was pretty great too, it had various abilities nailed down and the story read like a Claremont comic. The only downsides were the difficulty and the reset button.

>>7689952

>>7690864
>There was also a Hulk game I had on PS2 that was simple but pretty fun
Is it the 2003 movie tie in game or the 2008 movie tie in game? Those are the only other PS2 Hulk games I know of. The 2003 game was a linear, 3D beat em up with cel-shaded graphics and the 2008 game was an open world, mission based game like Ultimate Destruction.

>>7691801
A lot of the PC version’s issues can be fixed by capping the framerate (I forget if it was designed for 60 or 30). The game is hardly playable without it.

>>7691903
And how are you supposed to do that? Also I don't have any audio since I use a soundcard

>>7689938
True. Capeshit games were usually good, right up until the moment capeshit started becoming mostly based on movies rather than comics.

>>7689938
>sky web slinging

I agree with Spidey fans that hate this shit. That said though the game was great probably because it stays so true to the source material. I wish more licensed games did this while also making sure to be a good game.

>>7691893
it was ultimate destruction

>>7691849
oh yeah, forgot about that one. pretty good but I never beat it

>>7691715
Duckstation.

>>7691715
Duckstation or Mednafen for PS1, and if you want the Dreamcast version instead then slap it in Flycast or Redream.

It was cool because it wasn't afraid to just fucking throw you in situations with no idea who any of the characters you were going against were. That let you squeeze in pretty much every major Spidey villain without it feeling too weird.

It was pretty well written, funny dialogue, plenty of villains make an appearance and Carnage Ock was pretty scary and memorable.

Rino Romano getting snubbed for Shattered Dimensions was a crime. He would have been perfect for Spidey 2099.

>>7691893
He probably means the one that got reskinned into Prototype later on.

>>7689938
The true answer lies in its industrial buttrock soundtrack

>>7692046
The only ever one I liked was origins on console. The movie sucked though.

>>7689938
spiderman

>>7690864
thanks
you just helped me remember wolverines revenge
extremely solid wolverine game
bunch of hidden classics like costumes and comic covers
a good seperate story unrelated to the movies (despite riding x2s wave)
good use of his powers in game

>>7692490
I was actually thinking of mentioning it but I only ever played it over a weekend rental. I thought it was pretty cool but not enough time with it to talk about it. The voice acting was top notch. I remember they didn't get Hugh Jackman to voice wolverine but they got Mark Hamill. I was a huge Star Wars nerd at the time and I knew he voiced the Joker in Batman TAS and Hobgoblin in Spiderman TAS so I thought that was really fucking cool(also Cock Knocker).

I remember the spikey guy reviewing it on Judgment Day and he was complaining that the game was hard and that Wolverine's healing wasn't fast enough that he could just tank enemies and then run to safety while he got his health back. I only mention that because I looked up the Spiderman 95 game earlier and saw the other guy from Judgment Day worked on the sound track.

Maximum Carnage can be a real kick to the nuts but it's pretty great
smooth looking
amazing sound and bit music
spiderman / venom action
tons of cameos in support special moves

>>7691108
what does /vr/ think of the n64 version?

>>7692701
>amazing sound and bit music
That's because Carnage rules

>>7689938
I really liked how they gassed the streets in the beginning. Really felt intense trying to not fall in the street.

>>7694000
I loved it because jew york is full of jews

>>7694000
>>7694002
I had no idea Raimi also worked on this game.

>>7692701

>>7689952
>>7689956
With the exception of the Venom chase level, this game was peak spiderman

>>7692490
The text on the back of the cover is interesting from a marketing perspective. It encourages you to literally role play as wolverine. Even the instruction manual had a mini biography of his real name, his upbringing in Canada etc. Games don't do that these days

>>7692473
Origins was a weird case where the game was better than the movie,not that is an high bar to begin with.

Spiderman 2 on console was the last great one based on a comic book movie.

Incredible Hulk was just a much worse version of Ultimate Destruction.

>>7690575
Her face ooked so ugly

>>7694383
shut up faggot

>>7690575
Black cat was a big cuck in this game if I remember right.

>>7689938
People seriously don't give this game enough credit. It was ingenious to use that gas excuse given the limitations at the time.

Even when it came out,other devs struggled to reach the same quality. I feel that without free roaming system it helps making the levels stand out more.

Plus the music,it's a damn shame that after Spiderman 2 they stopped using that type of music which really fits Spidey.

>TFW this game is over 20 years old and only 3 games after it (without counting the sequel) managed to capture a similiar atmosphere

>>7694452
Are you going to tell me that the PSX version of her looks better? Hell, the Dreamcast version was used in the recap cutscenes from Enter Electro.You're the faggot, and a blind one.

>>7694552
Put the DC/PC version on the PSX body and you get the best combo.

I played the demo for this so many times as a 10 yr old

/thread

>>7694695
only cause the cast was limited on the first 1

>>7692735
Never played it, couldn't tell ya.

>>7694751
Damn boi

>>7692735
It's pretty good but I feel the PS1 version is still superior.

>>7689938
Best Spiderman game soundtrack.

Then again Tommy Tallarico did it.

>>7692735
It's the only version of the game I knew besides the PC demo that was free inside cereal boxes at the time. I think it's a solid n64 game and worth having in every collection

Speaking of the soundtrack,I really wish we got some uncompressed version of the songs.

>>7695650
did he? he worked on the 95 game too. I rlwas running through the soundtrack earlier and noticed that there's a melody in the track for the final stage which is exactly the same as London Dungeon by the Misfits(except the game has it harmonized in 5ths and in the song it's a single note line)
https://youtu.be/vHMiizMiros (about 49 seconds in)
https://youtu.be/JrvHzIJ6zx8

>>7696006
meant to reply to >>7695603

>>7696006
>>7696012
It is possible he was inspired by it.
Which is funny because Maximum Carnage while it doesn't share the same composer had a track heavily inspired by Black Sabbath.
Yes,Tallarico worked on the soundtrack,he's an hardcore Spider-Man fan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L-k-TZ7Pc0

>>7696058
honestly the misfits thing isnt surprising. it's a very common timing and not too different from some scale excercises. anybody learning a minor scale has played those notes in succession before.

>>7694758
>It's pretty good but I feel the PS1 version is still superior.
How come?

>>7697619
Superior to the N64 version at least.
The N64 had
>no FMVs
>More voice compression
>Tracks are mismanaged
>The textures are butchered

Overall it's not terrible,still the same game but these details are noticeable.
On the other hand the Dreamcast is still the best console port.

>>7689938
I am guessing it would be a strong well-known franchise running on the same engine that powers the Tony Hawk games. Similar to how Ducktales got a solid foundation running on a similar framework of Megaman.

>>7695650
Atleast the Mysterio theme is found(?) uncompressed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55cHsXiDr2s

Anybody can confirm if the infamous swing bug only happens on psx emulators? I only have this vídeo as a reference
https://youtu.be/Kq67gw4U0L4
It happens on the pc version on modern hardware iirc

https://youtu.be/jjHuOQVS0IE

thoughts on this build? the levels are completely different

>>7698024
I'm glad they changed that Rhino level,something more streamlined works better with him

>>7697975
I remember it happened even on original hardware. When that happens you need to tap buttons to skip the cutscene

>>7697902
I remember that,I wish there were more tracks with the same treatment,wish we got more remixes and covers too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAZd5tzXZLI

>>7698436
The cutscene cannot be skipped what are you talking about?

>>7698482
Sorry,I didn't remember quite right.

>>7697975
There's some weird bug where after the building crash cutscene, Spider-Man crawls up the side of the wall towards the ceiling before you're given full control. That shit almost makes it impossible to beat the chase on hard mode, because the timing is more strict on letting Venom get away.

>>7699142
I know, that's why i'm curious if this happens on real hardware too because most of the videos on youtube seem to be recorded off of emulators

>>7697975
Has happened to me in the Playstation version, PAL version if it matters.

>>7689938
A lot of voiced lines during gameplay, a story that featured loads of Marvel characters, occasionally an exceptional OST, and the introduction of Monster Ock in a chase sequence right at the end. Also, it looked preddy gud for a PS1 game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55cHsXiDr2s

>>7694383
Everyone's face not completely covered in a mask looked weird. I'm trying to find a picture of Cletus Casady in the cutscene when Carnage leaves his body. Barely identifiable as a human, and this was a pre-rendered cutscene with the "hi-texture" models

>>7699142
Speaking of other bugs,I remember one for PC version where you get to one of the boxes held by the tower cranes.
No matter what I did,in the cutscene Spiderman supposed to jump on the building but he doesn't,he dies.

After several tries,I got it done but it was like a freaking QTE

>>7699464
Speaking of which,I loved Carnage look in the PC/Dreamcast versions and his voice is great.

Also I feel his them is criminally underrated.

>>7689938
A better question would be what made the sequel so shit compared to the first?

>>7699772
>that annoying plane mission

>>7699772
The bombs weren't so bad.

>>7699772
Let's see

>Areas too open and set on the ground
>Tedious stealth missions
>The plane mission
>Horribly unbalanced boss fights
>Aside for 3 tracks,the OST is forgettable

There were good ideas,I feel they were trying to give more variety to it just to avoid to make the same game but overall it was a worse game all around

For me it’s Mary Jane

>>7700617
Fuck the plane mission man

>>7700659
for me its CAT

>>7700659
daaaaaaaaaamn

>>7692701
I never beat this game. Those swarming boss fights kicked my ass every time

>>7691612
Disney nuMarvel isn't the same as radical 90's/early 2000's Marvel. Also your mother should have aborted you.

I AM ALREADY AT FULL HEALTH

>>7689956
This. It's undeniable how the game had best Venom and best Carnage too, they're ridiculously good.

>>7702750
Whenever I read a comic as a featuring these two I read their lines with the game voices.
They just fit so well.
Venom's voice actor also does Mysterio in this game.

>>7702336
90s Marvel had its issues,like BIG issues given the quality but in a way I miss it.
Spidey had its dose of terrible stuff around 80s and 2000s as well.

The clone saga going for far too long and One More Day.

>>7699772
outsourcing
there's a lot of unnecessary repetitive levels,and the gimmicky ones are much more annoying than fun,very few of them stand out as good to play through,also drab texture work,most levels have very flat and uninspired colorless lighting and boring level design,half of the game's levels consist of just buildings or flat squares

Not him but if you honestly expect a serious retort on "congrats on your mental handicap" then you're retarded.

I AM NOT, THE BAAAD GUUUY

>>7704934
AH NEGATIVE ONE SHOT

>>7704904
You mean OG Ultimate Spider Man? The one from the Ultimate universe.
Here I am,I loved that series.
At least before Ultimatum was a thing.

>>7705128
Well, the series of comics, yes, but also the video game anon

>>7705134
I remember the videogame,what surprised me is how it's not based on a story in the comics but exclusive to the game.

I wish more games gave us the possiblity to control Venom in free roaming.

>>7705123
I AM INNOCEEEEEENT

>>7697975
I don't remember this happening on my original PS1 copy but it happens in every other copy of the game I've played.

bumping the spiderman thread

>>7689938
Stan Lee, for creating the franchise this piece of shit cashes in on. Without him, nobody would know or care about this unremarkable game.

>>7708395
I didn't even know Stan Lee himself narrated the game back in the day, what the fuck are you talking about.

>>7708403
Stan Lee wrote spider man comics.
People buy this game not on merit, but because of the spider man brand.

>>7708473
okay

>if spiderman was never created no one would have ever played this spiderman game that wouldn't exist

>>7708395
>>7708473

And let's not forget,the blessed What-If mode.

>>7691796
I wish I could still get random boners.

>>7704609
How are you liking it here so far? The lack of updoots must be disconcerting.

>>7689938
Peter parker should just bang her, she's asking for it

>>7692735
I like it more on organized OG hardware because of native analog support, which you don’t have on ps1 without a DualShock. The lack of ost and cutscenes kind of sucks though on n64. I grew up with the n64 version though, so I prefer it.

>>7694383
behold the true power of the Dreamcast

>>7710502
Damn is the Dreamcast actually the best way to play this game? It looks better than ps1 and n64

>>7710671
Yes

>>7710671
Yes

>>7710671
>It looks better than ps1 and n64
Because it is far more better.

I thought the N64 version was supposed to be better than the dreamcast version.

How was the sequel to this game though? No one talks about it

>>7710914
>I thought the N64 version was supposed to be better than the dreamcast version.
now you know

>>7710914
N64 version is very good, it might be the best depending on what you're looking for. It has brighter visuals and faster load times than Dreamcast version. It's also surprisingly clean looking for an N64 game, like it puts a lot of that blurry library to shame in terms of looks. However, Dreamcast has the updated textures and models that the PC version also has. If you want the best version of the original game, with its original texture work and color profile, it's the N64 version. If you want the updated textures and models, it's only on Dreamcast and PC, but both of these versions have a darker image. It's not really a case where one version is clearly the best.

>>7710671
PS1 version has the most soul, and I'm pretty sure was the main platform. Neversoft's engine just works really well with the grungy, jagged nature of the PS1 look.

>>7710502
Big improvement. PS1 legit looks like 2000's Michael Jackson.

>>7710502
Even though both of these images look like garbage, the real takeaway here is that capeshit games are for queers and retards.

>>7710914
>I thought the N64 version was supposed to be better than the dreamcast version
lmao, how delude must you n64 defenders be??

>>7710671
That or PC

>>7689938
still can't stand the fact that i'll never beat this 100% because of the stupid requirement for unlocking the last costume, getting 10.000 points in the zipline training is absurd.

>>7713361
It’s unironically a great port of the game anon
