Title: Spiderman 3 Game (moddable?)
Post by: rainy_de_lunche on April 21, 2007, 11:38AM
Does anyone think that the upcoming spiderman game will be moddable? i cant wait for it to come out but once again there will probably be next-gen exclusives. whenever someone says its unfair that PC doesnt get exclusives console owners say "mod it". Does anyone have any ideas for things that would be cool to try to do in this game?

on the VIP site its been said that we will be able to play as Scorpion at one point...if he has any good way of moving it might be fun to make scorpion a fully playable character at any point in the game.

Who's developing Spidey 3?  That'll give us a pretty fair answer as to whether it's moddable.  98% of movie games aren't, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

We need to know the developer.  Activision is the publisher.

*EDIT*  It's Treyarch.  Don't know much about them.  Still, odds are since it's got movie-based material it's going to be locked down like Fort Knox.  I've never seen a movie-based game with mods in the 10 years I've modded games.  Plus, if we could mod the game we'd still be more likely to get hit with a cease-and-desist order due to the movie rights.

Same guys made Ultimate Spider-Man witch is a great game but don't think that was modable at all I tried to just get the models out of it and couldn't.Still hope so.

Yeah, modding ain't gonna happen.  Just trust me on that.  If mods get released, they'll get shut down.  Stick with MUA and you'll be fine, since Raven Software supports modders.  Either they openly support (when they can) or when they can't they don't go reporting websites for modding their games.  Modding MUA/XML1/XML2 is technically against the EULA, ya know.

Oh yeah, I'm sure I'll play it and love it to death.  Still, it ain't gonna be moddable.

At least 'direct' film liscences anyhow - if games are based off extensions of a film franchise, rather that the film it self (Star Wars beign a prominent example) then they are likely to be more open, but, in this case they aren't likely to be at all.

One thing that I was considering when playing the last Spider-man game however was how great it would be to have Nightcrawler as a secret bonus character - his wall climbing and teleportation would make him fit best into the gameplay mechanics compared to everything else, plus you could have some real fun with his powers (teleporting people into the air and letting them plummet anyone?  Taking out hordes of enemies by rapid bamfing between them?)  I by no means expect it to happen, or be possibly to mod... but I can dream. 

Daredevil would work to a degree, its mainly his lack of wall climbing that hold him back however, and if characters could fly I don't think it would have quite the same sense of coolness  because you dont feel like you can fall and its easy to turn which kind of looses the epic feel compared to swinging.

Oh, and also stiltman should be the final boss of the game.

ppl on famegaqs seem to think it could be moddable if someone found a way to open the "gamepacks"...im not sure wat this imeans...its something about the way the files are stored on the disk...hope?

i just beat the game yesterday and at the end u play as goblin...the tutorial where bruce cambell gives u "skystick 101" is actually really fun, but the part where there is fighting sucks...its moslty a cineractive thing to beat sandman...could have been much better. he should be unlockable, all his files are in the game anywas right? i was wondering if a) anyone played this on PC and b) if it might be possible to make goblin playable any time. sorry to keep this subject high on the boards but im not gettin any feedback at all on gamefaqs.

PC gamer review is 51% buggy video and audio needs patch bad (not my words)

its true, players are lucky to get 30 fps, i havent had truble with the audio though. there have been many demands for a patch but no ones heard if there will be and it's looking doubtful. Its to bad to because it could be a really great game

I haven't heard of any games published by Activision have any patches recently... lol Otherwise, they should have fixed those stupid bugs/glitches in XML2!!! :soapbox:

i hadnt played xml2 but this relaly needs a patch...it was rushed and ended being a mediocre game

I agree. :) I was just saying almost all Activision PC games never got any patches... :rofl:

Ok frist impresstion the maps are huge and the city looks great big plus models look great as well, cutscenes not so good and run at a low framerate even with 3ghz processor,3gb ram.
Haven't ran into the audio problems as of now,the game does that crappy thing of button mashing in quick order like some of the boss battles in MUA,the game doesn't run in a line imo is great as I like free movement witch (could) set up for really neat modding.The game itself is not bad at all but needs afore mentioned patch to improve the framerate.
So all in all not bad at all (surprized) now scale of 1-10 rate it somewhere in 6 and a half to about 8

i guess it wasnt a bad game but it was built up so much that it wasnt nearly as good as everyone thought it would be. Oh well
