While in part 1 we had a look at Black Ops II, Skylanders Giants and the new Transformers game, part 2 of our coverage of the Activision E3 press conference will focus on titles from the Spider-Man, James Bond 007 and Family Guy franchises. Find below a few of Activision’s reveals.
Beenox’s The Amazing Spider-Man will act as an epilogue to the upcoming feature film by Columbia Pictures. The much talked-about Web Rush mechanic will make its way into this game, allowing players to swing freely around Manhattan, combat various criminal activities and take on classic Marvel Super Villains like Rhino, Iguana, Felicia Hardy and more. It will be seen being launched for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and 3DS this month, while a PC version will be released later in the year.
007 Legends, which was unveiled recently, will act as a celebration of the Bond franchise’s 50th anniversary. Players will be able to undertake a selection of ‘iconic and intense’ Bond missions from five popular films, while the sixth mission draws inspiration from the forthcoming 007 flick – Skyfall. This film will also be made available as a free DLC to all those who buy the game. Developed by Eurocom, it will be released for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC later this year.
Another big announcement at the Activision E3 press conference was that of Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse. Fans of the show might have already grasped that the game will be based on the TV show’s popular episode called Road to the Multiverse. This co-op adventure will allow gamers to play as Stewie and Brian, with each having their own different abilities and weapons. It is being developed by Heavy Iron for the PS3 and Xbox 360, and will be launched this fall.
That’s it for part 2 of our report on the Activision E3 press conference. Gamers can have a look at part 1 of the same if they haven’t yet.
