It’s because they ”went away from what is Spider-Man,” he reckons and that’s ”web-slinging.” No new Spider-Man has been announced yet.
”Our Spider-Man games have sucked for the last five years,” Kotick matter-of-factly told Game Informer in their February 2010 issue, reports Shacknews.
”They are bad games. They were poorly rated because they were bad games. We went away from what is Spider-Man. It’s about web-slinging. If you don’t do web-slinging right, what is the fantasy of Spider-Man?”
The past five years have seen from Activision: Spider-Man 2, Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man & Friends, Spider-Man Print Studio, Spider-Man: Battle for New York, Spider-Man 3, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.
It’s rumoured that Prototype’s Radical Entertainment are handling the new Spidey project for Activision Blizzard, and they’ve got pedigree when it comes to a virtual New York city and things not-so-human. Have you managed to enjoy Spider-Man these past 5 years?
