THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Video Game Teaser Trailer
Activision has released a teaser trailer for the new video game The Amazing Spider-Man, which is a tie in game with the the upcoming movie from Sony Pictures and director Marc Web. This is basically a tease of what will be unleashed during the Video Game Awards on December 10th. The game is currently in development at Beenox, and from what I see in this short trailer it looks pretty cool.
Amazing Spider-Man will allow players roam freely in New York City. A new Web Rush mechanic will let players "pull off a vast array of moves never before possible." Basically the developers are attempting to make the game show off more of Spider-Man's acrobatic abilities.
The game's original story was written by TV writer Seamus Kevin Fahey, who has written episodes of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and Battlestar Galactica. The story will take gamers all over Manhattan and into the city sewers.

Here's the official press release:
An all-new Spider-Man is poised to bring the action back to New York City as Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), and Marvel Entertainment, LLC announce The Amazing Spider-Man™ video game, planned to launch summer 2012 tied to Sony Picture Entertainment's upcoming feature film of the same name. Created as an epilogue story occurring entirely after the events of the movie, the game features the return of free-roaming web-slinging all over the city and evolutionary improvements to navigation and combat, as the newly anointed Spider-Man is plunged into an all-new storyline charged with protecting Manhattan from a variety of criminals.
The Amazing Spider-Man is in development at veteran game studio Beenox, and features an original narrative crafted by Hollywood writer Seamus Kevin Fahey (episodes of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica) that continues young Peter Parker's adventures following the events of the new film. Using the game's new Web Rush mechanic allows players to pull off a vast array of moves never before possible. With a story that takes players through many areas all over (and under) Manhattan, fans will feel what it's truly like to be a Super Hero, as they experience the cinematic adrenaline rush of web-swinging through the city and fighting crime using Spider-Man's spectacular acrobatic moves and attacks.
