The obligatory nitpick thread.

1. Night and Day cycle complete with weather.

This is one of the things I've been wondering about most. Differing weather would be cool but I'm mostly concerned about the day and night cycle, if there even is one. It would feel weird having a free-roam city which is forever stuck during day-time hours. Not to mention web-swinging around a lit-up city at night would be all sorts of epic.

PLEASE BEENOX, PLEASE!

YES! That's awesome news. I quite like how Beenox has left it down to the player to decide which in-game time of day they play, it's just a shame we might potentially miss things like dusk and dawn but I guess that's just me nitpicking.

quote The Stinger

One thing that kinda bugs me still is the fact that they gave all of these classic Spidey villains the same origin, that of an genetic experiment gone wrong.

In fact, Rhino and Scorpion have been confirmed to not even talk. Not sure about Iguana, or Vermin. One of the greatest things about Spider-Man was his banter with his enemies, and seeing them getting more and more flustered as he continually talks smack to them while foiling their plans.

I didn't know they gave each villain the same kind of origin, I can see why they have done it as it mostly fits in with the theme of the movie but you could almost consider it lazy, not giving any diversity to the villains backgrounds. As for the lack of voices, that kills me. It annoyed me in Arkham City with Nightwing and Robin and it's going to annoy me in this game. As you said, it's not going to have the same affect when Spidey trash talks Rhino or Scorpion and neither reply.

I agree with the aforementioned nit-picks about there being no proper night/day cycle, ala an in-game clock. Also, I think that there is an inherent "blandness" to the fact that every single villain, as you guys said, seems to have the exact same origin.

My nit-pick is a little different: I was watching a couple of gameplay videos and I noticed that when you place a nav target on your map, you get the little radar in the form of a cell phone, which is cool, BUT unless you look at your pause map or are really close to your destination you have NO IDEA how far away it is. There is just a little "bubble" on your radar that, for a long time, looks like it is just a few blocks away, but you never seem to get closer to it until you are close enough so that it really is "on your radar" which is a few blocks in radius. They should have put some kind of a distance meter on like they have in SR games in in Spidey 3, where you are, say, 2,000 feet away and it counts down as you get closer. this way, it kind of reminds me of GTA III (in a bad way) when you have a little destination dot on your map but you have no idea how far away from it you are until you get really close to it.

Yeah, it's kind of like PS3's Infamous/Infamous 2, where you can press down on the control stick and it would do a sort of sonar thing from your position on the minimap to the outside of the circle and show you anything collectible in between. It's a good idea.

Here are my latest nitpicks


Why cant I disarm any of the thugs with guns? I should be able to snap a webline and yank it away. Before anyone goes calling Batman ripoff again though, keep in mind that you could do this in SM 2, and do it to multiple dudes at one time whether they had guns, clubs, wrenches, whatever. If they were carrying something, you could disarm up to four of them at once.

My wardrobe has 2 empty hangers in it. Heh.

(I know one of them is ASM in black, but that still leaves one undetermined suit. I had thought it was the vigilante, but that's PS3 exclusive, so Im not sure what the other costume is that I need.)

Thanks, Gamesta100! Yeah, I noticed that right off when I started playing the game. That little nit pick was before I actually played the game and was judging by the gameplay vids.
