Written by Slott? Part in the Noir universe? Oooooh :)

[jamestolliver]

The unique core gameplay mechanics sounds interesting. If done well, this could be rather clever.

[Evan the Shaggy]

Spiderman Noir? Damn didn't see that coming.

I'd love to see the 2099 world show up.

[Marcdachamp]

Spiderman Noir? Damn didn't see that coming.

I'd love to see the 2099 world show up.

Whoa, Spider-Man Noir? Awesome!

[Pat Shatner]

Looks rad, and the switch to first person during boss fights could be interesting. Definitely keeping tabs on this.

[JamesV]

I have been disappointed in the past three spider-man games...

Yet I know I'm still gonna buy this one.

[hamgravy]

Cool concept and the Noir Spidey with the glowing eyes looks dope.

I guess the other two would be 2099 and Ultimate?

Not sure the Ultimate world would create a different enough world for a video game.

[NickT]

Not sure the Ultimate world would create a different enough world for a video game.
Yeah, not for a new game mechanic.


They could always do something original of course.

[Marcdachamp]

If one is MC2 I'll cry in joy.

I bet Reign is another.

[Spidey616]

Not as big a gamer as I used to be, but for this, I might go back :)

[hamgravy]

I bet Reign is another.

With poison semen action?!?

[Marcdachamp]

With poison semen action?!?

It'd pretty much have to. :lol:

[Supreme Convoy]

Does Noir Spidey have his powers in the comics? I thought characters were suppose to be non-powered in that world.

I also hope for 2099 gameplay as we haven't seen that in a game. Can't think what I would like to see in the fourth world... Spider-Girl could be fun.

[Marcdachamp]

Spider-Girl could be fun.

That world would be so awesome to see in action.

[Jef UK]

How great would Spider-Ham be?

[Marcdachamp]

How great would Spider-Ham be?

Oh SNAP!

[Supreme Convoy]

How great would Spider-Ham be?

I think you just won this thread.

[Blake Sims]

I'll bite. The last one Web of Shadows wasn't perfect, but it was still fun.

[Marcdachamp]

I'll bite. The last one Web of Shadows wasn't perfect, but it was still fun.

I've heard that. As of right now, the first Activison Spider-Man and Ultimate have been my favorites.

[Blake Sims]

I've heard that. As of right now, the first Activison Spider-Man and Ultimate have been my favorites.

There were some parts that were super fun just to play. With that there were some extremely frustrating parts. It's a good renter, or if you can find a good deal on it.

I remember the one on the PS1 was pretty damn fun, I think it was called Enter Electro?

That was the sequel to the one I'm referring to.

[Blake Sims]

That was the sequel to the one I'm referring to.

Ahhhh! I don't think I ever had that one. I remember playing it a little.

[Marcdachamp]

Ahhhh! I don't think I ever had that one. I remember playing it a little.

Still one of my favorite Spider-Man related things ever. The characterizations were just plain awesome.

[HeroBoy]

The first PS1 game was on of the most fun games that I've ever played. Super funny, great times, and the Carnage/Doc Ock race at the end was awesome and not at all frustrating like a lot of these races are.

[McGill]

I had that for the N64. It was the shit. I'm still wondering what you were webbing onto since you were already on top of the buildings.

[moonspider]

i hope the other 2 universes are 2099 and REIGN

[Marcdachamp]

I had that for the N64. It was the shit. I'm still wondering what you were webbing onto since you were already on top of the buildings.

I've heard mixed reports. Were the cutscenes animated or stills in the N64 version?

[Generic Poster]

Spider-Man: Shatner Dimensions would be even cooler.

[Matt Jay]

Cool. Web of Shadows was fun. I will absolutely buy this.

I think 2099 is a shoe-in, but the last one is tougher to call. Spider-girl, I'm betting.

[Marcdachamp]

Cool. Web of Shadows was fun. I will absolutely buy this.

I think 2099 is a shoe-in, but the last one is tougher to call. Spider-girl, I'm betting.

I'd love that combination.

[Zack_Hunter]

I hope spider girl makes it. It would make sense too!

[hamgravy]

I hope spider girl makes it. It would make sense too!

Not sure if it would make sense to Spidey Game Players but I'd like to see it.

If they wanted to go really far-fetched there's also 1604, The Captain Universe Powers, and the Civil War Iron Man costume.

[Dude Pal]

I hope this game is good. We haven't really gotten an AMAZING Spider-Man game in awhile. (heh, see what I did there?)

[Xorn]

it is interesting to see that they seem to go away from the open world-yiness from the last couple of games. I just hope there is some good web-slinging action, half the fun of those games is the web slinging. and tone down the difficultity. that really killed spider-man 3 for me. the ridiculous tough boss battles. never beat the goddamn kingpin. it was all button mashing for the bosses, and frustratingly hard to boot.
also please not that many quick time events.
as other people have pointed out. the very first psone game was all kinds of awesome, but of course a little limited. if they somehow catch that vibe it can be quite good.
another thing: i never got around playing ultimate spider-man, except for the ds-version, how was that game?

[Bedlam66]

I have been disappointed in the past three spider-man games...

/sucker
How could you have been Disappointed with Web Of Shadows? It's prob the best Spider-Man game I've ever played.

[Xorn]

I've not played it but read a couple of reviews. and i bet it has the same probs most of the spidey games in the past had: lots of bugs that could be fixed if they put in a lil more time, hard maybe borderline ridiculous difficulty and button mashing, a too big of a world that could take some polish and mediocre voice acting. this was at least the case with spider-man 3

[Petey Parker]

Looks sweet. I'll be checking it out.

The style and story were top notch. It really is like being in the comic. Unfortunately the gameplay is sub par and the missions are repetitive.

I hated Spider-man 3 but loved Shadows. The web-zip attack is so cool that I'll be disappointed in any Spider-man game that doesn't have it. And they really make you feel like you're in the MU. I can't remember any problems I had with the game, but they were minor. It didn't have the same magic as the first PS1 game or Spider-man 2, but that's because it retreads alot of that same ground.

I didn't find any of these problems playing it and I played though the game 3 times.

[Lineofdeath2]

I'd like to see a Marvel Zombies level, and and a Spider-Man India level.

[dougmac]

Cool concept and the Noir Spidey with the glowing eyes looks dope.

I guess the other two would be 2099 and Ultimate?

That's what I was thinking too, but someone else mentioned Spiderman Reign and that would go better with the theme of the game than Ultimate I think.

[Matt Jay]

Ok, after reading what you guys said, I think there's a better chance for Marvel Zombies or 1604 than Spider-girl.

[Xorn]

I didn't find any of these problems playing it and I played though the game 3 times.

have you played spider-man 3?
I picked the pc version of spider-man 3 up for 10 bucks and prolly would get web of shadows if the price was similar, but I guess the reviews scared me away.
this, and that my pc couldn't play it (cause it needed a dual core 2 ghz or something).
which system did you guys have it on? I only have a wii and a pc.

[Lineofdeath2]

Ok, after reading what you guys said, I think there's a better chance for Marvel Zombies or 1604 than Spider-girl.

Isn't it 1602?

[jamestolliver]

Spider-man 3 was the worst of the lot but I thought Ultimate and Web of Shadow were both pretty good.

[Matt Jay]

Isn't it 1602?

Whatever the sequel to Gaiman's story is called.

[Lineofdeath2]

Whatever the sequel to Gaiman's story is called.

the sequel is 1602 new world

No I did not play Spider-Man 3 I went from Spider-Man 2 to Web Of Shadows. I'm pretty Picky though.

[Xorn]

No I did not play Spider-Man 3 I went from Spider-Man 2 to Web Of Shadows. I'm pretty Picky though.

hmm, okay.
I just checked. web of shadows for the pc is only 6 bucks on the german amazon. but still, I don't know if it will run on my machine. have a dual core with 1,83 ghz and 3 gigs of memory. anyone know if this should be enough?

[The Human Target]

So Slott or someone at Activision read the Elric books and decided to make a game out of it?

Weeeird.

[The Hodag]

This sounds weird, but potentially cool. For the other two alt worlds I think I'd most like to see 1602 and maybe the Marvel Zombies world, but I could see most any concept working if the gameplay is good.

I remember sampling one or two of the Noir books and not getting into them, but I only ever dabbled. Was Spidey Noir any good?

[The Human Target]

Having both 1602 and Noir would be kinda overkill I think.

I'm leery about having 4 separate mechanics for each world, and having them all be good.

Most Spidey games can't even get the basics right.

[The Hodag]

What I'm wondering is if the basics aren't the same in all the worlds, but in, say, Noir World, they just add a few sneak moves and build levels to emphasize hiding?

[The Hodag]

Having both 1602 and Noir would be kinda overkill I think.

How so? I never read the 1602 Spidey mini so I don't know how his powers worked and whatnot, but it's hard to imagine two more different time periods than 1602 Europe and 1930s New York.

[Xorn]

How come you all bet your money on 1602?
2099 sounds way cooler. maybe it's 2099 and the other future spider-man what was that again, with additional arms. also doing spidey zombie seems off.

I'm pretty sure that you're talking about Spider-Man 2211

[Kman00001]

Time for a dark horse pick for one of the worlds...

Get it for a Console if you can. Play that type of game on the computer is prob a bad Idea.( I just don't like those types of games on a keyboard.) It was awesome for the PS3

[Xorn]

I'm pretty sure that you're talking about Spider-Man 2211

yes, that's it.

[Xorn]

well, I have a gamepad. that is not the issue. just the processor power. and the wii is not the graphic heaviest console of the bunch.

[Mike_Johnson]

Looks interesting so far. I'm in.

[The Human Target]

What I'm wondering is if the basics aren't the same in all the worlds, but in, say, Noir World, they just add a few sneak moves and build levels to emphasize hiding?

Very possible, but still worrisome.

Ye Old Fashion Spider-Man in a plain costume is similar enough for me regardless of anything else.

[The Hodag]

Very possible, but still worrisome.

Yeah, tradition has it that superhero games get bungled, but the last decade or so provided the first real glimpses of greatness. It's at least possible for good ideas to also have good execution now.

[Blue Flash]

An excellent mini. Frankly, the best of all the 1602 spinoffs. He web-swings and creates web-fists and web-balls. It's like the films: Comes out of his body.

[Cth]

2099 confirmed.

Thanks preorder bonus spoiler :lol:

What's the preorder bonus, extra costumes for 2099?

[Cth]

Gamestop - Captain Universe skins.

[SteveFlack]

That's what I was thinking too, but someone else mentioned Spiderman Reign and that would go better with the theme of the game than Ultimate I think.

What buttons do you have to press to kill people with radioactive sperm?

[NickT]

Gamestop - Captain Universe skins.
Oh I see, it's an alt costume for each universe :Oops:

[hamgravy]

Oh I see, it's an alt costume for each universe :Oops:

Oh, very cool.

So then, is he a Venom in the third one?

[The Human Target]

Captain Universe has the super power to make good costumes terrible apparently.

2099 confirmed.

Again with the goods. Your net-scouring is to be admired.

[Cth]

Oh, very cool.

So then, is he a Venom in the third one?

A good guess, especially given the inverse color scheme and bulkier look.

[The Hodag]

Hope that 3rd one is the zombie universe.

Makes the most commercial sense.

Good job Cth! Now get to digging up some stuff on the Captain America game!

I'm happy about 2099, but it looks like we don't get Zombie Spider-man, which is unfortunate. I wonder what the story is with the third one. I can't think of a pre-existing universe with black suited Spider-man.

[dougmac]

What buttons do you have to press to kill people with radioactive sperm?

It would obviously take a supercombo

Well if they want unique mechanics, in many ways a lot of existing universes don't work.



Also, the costumes wont neccesarily be identical to the comics. Spidey Noir has a trenchcoat in the comic for example. Using that logic, that costume could be anything.

Don't want to now how you do it with the Wii controller :)

Good point.

Hope we see alot of other MU heroes in this game like we did in Shadows. Sometimes it was cool just hanging out and watching Wolverine or Luke Cage kick ass.

Definitely.

[Darthdaw37]

my guess would be 2099 and Zombie maybe?

[Ashwin Pande]

The Punch-out boss fight thing makes me scratch my head. Why?

[Bedlam66]

The Punch-out boss fight thing makes me scratch my head. Why?
Because they wanted the boss fights to all be Unique? Alot of boss fights in games while kinda different all end up being kind of the same thing. It's not a bad thing to try something new and it'll work and people will like it or it won't and they won't do it again.

Oh sure. It seems so odd to me though. I can see it being fun with a Wii controller but I just can't see it being much fun with the xbox controller. Maybe they'll prove me wrong though. The game seems like a good idea. Plus Slott writing it is pretty awesome.

[Ben Weldon]

Could be the Web Of Shadows 'Bad Ending' universe.

[Bedlam66]

Could be the Web Of Shadows 'Bad Ending' universe.
This is the same team that made Web Of Shadows right?

[danlomb]

Hot shit. Can't imagine 2099 not being included. And they love their symbiotes, so maybe there'll be an alternate dimension world where Peter's all black-suited up.

Secret Wars Universe gives you symbiote and a shitload of other heroes

[JeremyDale]

Spider-Ham forever.

That said, a 2099 would be cool, too-- I GUESS... ;)

[Marcdachamp]

The comic wasn't that bad.

It really wasn't. I bought 'em a few years back and I enjoyed them.

[hamgravy]

There goes my hope for playing as overweight Officer Peter Parker from Earth X.

Oh crap - hadn't thought of that one.

Love the character but probably not specific enough for unique action and sort of difficult to explain the Earth X world as one level in a game.

Who do we this the 2099 big boss will be?

I recall Vulture being a recurring villain but how cool would it be if it was Doom 2099!?!

[Cth]

Good job Cth! Now get to digging up some stuff on the Captain America game!

Just a guess, but I can see him being added as DLC.

People will buy a zombie pack, spidey-fan or not.. but a 2099 pack (let's ignore that its in the game currently) is a harder sell.

That is, of course, provided they do DLC.

Oh, and you might want to archive that pic.. Activision isn't happy with Gamestop for spoiling things and has been contacting admins to get the pic yanked offline on various boards.

Someone mentioned that Captain Universe would be guiding/providing direction for each of the Spideys.. since an interview states that a "mystic force" guides all 4 during the course of the game.

As far as gameplay goes, again, just conjecture:

- 616: Acrobatic moves
- Noir: Stealth moves
- 2099: Tech moves
- Symbiote: Brutal moves

2099 confirmed.

Hope that 3rd one is the zombie universe.

I was trying to figure out what the deal was with these but I see, its Captain Universe costumes over their regular ones.

I don't think the 3rd one is a zombie one though, I'd imagine we'd be seeing his teeth or something. Looks like it'll be a symbiote.

[Spidey616]

BUMP! For last 2 worlds announcement later today :D

[Xorn]

today, eh? still thinking 2099 and some kind of symbiote-verse

[Dr. Chaos]

Count me in with the third one is a zombie crowd.

[Michael-Deery]

Maybe 2099 and Reign?

[Matthew Brown]

Aw, I wanted this to be 1602 and 2099.

[Xorn]

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/02/impressions-spider-man-shattered-dimensions/

[Dr. Chaos]

Christopher Daniel Barns, who voiced Spider-Man / Peter Parker for the mid-'90s Spider-Man animated series, is providing the voice of Noir Spider-Man and, as I was told, has already recorded his dialog.
:rock: :rock: :rock:

[Marcdachamp]

A cast of well-known video game voice-over actors was promised, including four actors who've voiced Spidey in the past.

Please be Neil Patrick Harris, please be Neil Patrick Harris, please be Neil Patrick Harris...

[Matt Jay]

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/02/impressions-spider-man-shattered-dimensions/

Yikes.

I wish someone at Activision would get their shit together and put out a Spider-man game on the level of Arkham Asylum.

[Dr. Chaos]

I quite liked Web of Shadows' gameplay, had alot of style, just wish it had more interesting missions and not the worst VA to ever be cast as Spider-Man.

Thought SM3 was a big pile of shit though.

Oh and while I'm at it and bored: Greg Giraldo for Spider-Man 2099.

[Spidey616]

WonderCon panel report

A Look at "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions" (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=25547)

[Dr. Chaos]

Edit: Damn!

*shakes fist at Spidey616*


. At the request of fans, Morgan said, “Shattered Dimensions” is focused around a more level-based game tailored to an experience between Spider-Man and the bosses. But she added that the environments of each universe are big enough so the game still has an open-world feel to it.
Were fans really clamoring for more closed space gameplay?

I think Spider-Man really suffers when you take away his range. I think the open world/sandbox is the best thing to happen to the character when it's done well (see the cool but short with a weird final boss Ultimate Spider-Man).

The Spider-man PS1 game is level-based, and it seems that most people rate that as one of the best Spider-man games or close to it.

[nick maynard]

it's definitely ultimate. DEFINITELY.

at least one of them has to be swinging through downtown manhattan style. that's why they put amazing in the jungle where there will be nothing to swing from.

ultimate spiderman will be all about aerial combat.

i have no clue what the last one would be though. knowing dan slott, i could definitely see 2099.

[Marcdachamp]

So were the other 2 revealed?

[Spidey616]

So were the other 2 revealed?

Nope :(

At least not at the panel.

2099 has been accidentally revealed via the gamestop preorder thing with the captain universe variants. it looked like the 4th was a symbiote world.

[Dr. Chaos]

Fourth one is still undetermined but I don't think the pic has anything that really gives it away, atleast not as obvious as Cosmic Spider-Man 2099, so I'm still annoyingly perplexed looking at it.

that looks like captain universe versions of 4 different spidey costumes. amazing, noir, venom, and ultimate.

[Matt Jay]

The last one is 2099. You can tell because of the arm spikes and what they reveal of the mask.

Haven't thought about this game in a while - would the Goblin level be Ultimate Spidey?

The one that looked like a Venom in the Cosmic line-up?

Could be Ultimate Spidey in the Venom suit. Which is a cool angle given the personal connection to the suit in that universe.

[Xorn]

this looks shiny

[Ben Weldon]

Makes me wonder what the gimmick of the 2099 universe will be. I was thinking it would be something like aerial combat, but he doesn't seem to have the glider webs on his back.

[hamgravy]

And his most iconic villain was The Vulture.

UNLESS, the villain is Hulk 2099.

[Cth]

Makes me wonder what the gimmick of the 2099 universe will be. I was thinking it would be something like aerial combat, but he doesn't seem to have the glider webs on his back.

Platforming?

Uptown and Lower Downtown or whatever it was called?

[Evan the Shaggy]

And his most iconic villain was The Vulture.


I wouldn't say that. He had a good share of 2099 updated villains like Venom, Green Goblin, etc etc.

[hamgravy]

I wouldn't say that. He had a good share of 2099 updated villains like Venom, Green Goblin, etc etc.

He always seemed to me to be the update that felt freshest. Maybe because he was one of the first and was at the hub of the uptown/ downtown angle to the story.

[Ryan Elliott]

Maybe they'll just show up like Batman Beyond.

But this game looks REALLY cool.

Didn't play Web of Shadows, but loved Ultimate Spidey(even with that frustrating Torch chase).

And yeah, Noir Spidey looks like Spider-Man: Arkham Asylum. :lol:

[Garth]

He always seemed to me to be the update that felt freshest. Maybe because he was one of the first and was at the hub of the uptown/ downtown angle to the story.

And Miguel while sharing some of Parker's qualities was a polar opposite personality wise. Speaking of which, I wonder when the next trade will be released. I was a huge fan of the 2099 series. And I'd love to see more collections available.

[Spidey616]

It's official!

[Ryan Elliott]

Man, they're keeping that fourth universe tight under wraps.

[stephenp01]

Would House of M be different enough to be the 4th one?

[Josh!]

hhhmmm... Ultimate's the obvious answer, I think it'll be Reign, I want it to be 1602.

[SighClops]

hhhmmm... Ultimate's the obvious answer, I think it'll be Reign, I want it to be 1602.

I would like it to be Ultimate Spidey just because of my love for the series, but I can't imagine it being distinctive enough (either visually or in terms of gameplay) for it to warrant inclusion.

I'm going to say, for the hell of it, fourth dimension will be Spider-Ham.

And can someone clear this up for me... pre-ordering through GameSpot gets you Cosmic Spider-Man costume, and pre-ordering through Amazon gets you the Iron Spider armor, correct? I wonder if there will be a way to get both through DLC or if you can only have one or the other.

[Cth]

It's official!

2099

E3 2010: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Preview (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/109/1095127p1.html)

Is this the video that shows 2099 with him falling through building walkways and doing aerial combat?

1602 does seem different enough and there's the whole Past, Present, Future thing to consider..

I wouldn't mind seeing REIGN either..

No more Ultimate though.

It seems pretty clear they're going for different visual looks so Ultimate should be out the window immediately. Which would leave REIGN out of the picture too. 1602 as well possibly.

[hamgravy]

Has anyone addressed what level that Hulked Out Goblin is the villain for?

I never read 1602 but he doesn't seem to be from that era. Wasn't the 2099 Goblin tech based?

I could see him as an interpretation of the Ultimate Goblin though...

[James W]

Whoever it is, it looks like he's wearing black (http://www.destructoid.com/spider-man-shattered-dimensions-gets-cosmic-pre-order-169487.phtml). Is there any universe that makes specific use of the black costume? He wears both in Reign, doesn't he?

[Ryan Elliott]

It looked like Noir Spidey fighting the Hulked thing. Which kinda looked like HammerHead.

[hamgravy]

It looked like Noir Spidey fighting the Hulked thing. Which kinda looked like HammerHead.

Noir Spidey IS fighting Hammerhead, but, the Goblin they debuted is a juiced up version wearing a torn business suit.

[bstie1198]

Maybe it's the Spider-Man Unlimited universe from the early 2000s cartoon. :sick:

Spider-Ham would be awesome. I wouldn't mind Spider-Girl, either.

[hamgravy]

Doh - Just saw the 2099 video on http://marvel.com/news/all.12769.e3_2010~colon~_spider-man_2099_swings_into_smsd with screengrabs.

Hadn't actually watched the E3 link.

So, some things confirmed:

- Hobgoblin 2099 as the 2099 villain (I don't remember him)
- The hulked out Goblin is another Noir villain

and

- Watch at the end, SHIELD agents are freaking out, look to have Spider-Man masks around their necks. I can only assume that their being possessed by symbiotes....

[James W]

- Watch at the end, SHIELD agents are freaking out, look to have Spider-Man masks around their necks. I can only assume that their being possessed by symbiotes....

INSTA-THEORY: Different developers, but from the Web of Shadows Wikipedia page:
If the player has made slightly more black-suited choices than red, Spider-Man leads the symbiote conquest of Manhattan and is hunted by Wolverine, who has bonded with another symbiote. If the player has made a majority of black-suited choices, the former ending is amended to show a symbiote-controlled Black Cat by his side during the invasion.
Could be the fourth Spidey?

[Cth]

- Hobgoblin 2099 as the 2099 villain (I don't remember him)


It's a new character created for the game.

2099 Gameplay details:


http://www.gamepro.com/article/previews/215380/spider-man-shattered-dimensions-preview/

For Spidey's next video gaming outing, Activision takes elements of a few of his most well-known comic series, sticks them in a blender, and the result is four very different versions of the classic web-slinger. Activision and developer Beenox revealed all but one of the "dimensions," and we take a look at those heading into their E3 showing.

What we're talking about: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, an action game based everybody's favorite web-slinging superhero. Shattered Dimensions is being developed by Beenox Games, known for titles such as Bee Movie (the game) and Guitar Hero: Smash Hits.

Where we saw it: Activision played host to the press at Club Nokia in Los Angeles to showcase what's in store for the old webhead.

What you need to know:

* Shattered Dimensions has four different takes on Spider-Man, opening up the chance to have a fair amount of variety with the game as each dimensions comes with its own distinct characters, visuals, gameplay styles and story elements.

* The first dimension takes place in the standard Marvel universe, following the exploits of the Amazing Spider-Man, and is the most widely known version of everyone's favorite web-slinger. This dimension brings everything that's iconic about Spidey - the classic red and blue costume, bright and vibrant visuals, loads of wall-crawling and web swinging, and the trademark acrobatic fighting style that this particular superhero is so well known for.

* The second dimension takes place in Marvel's "Noir" universe, and is a slightly darker (both figuratively and literally) take on Spider-Man, using a style commonly found in pulp crime novels. The gameplay falls in line with this darker approach as there's an emphasis on stealth, with slower and more methodical gameplay elements incorporated to encourage you to stay in the shadows as often as possible. You'll still have access to the core Spider-Man abilities, so he'll still be able to handle himself in a fight, but the developers tell us that sometimes it pays to remain unseen.

* Revealed for E3 is the third dimension: Spider-Man 2099, and it's the most different of the three dimensions. This version of the webhead has the standard Spider-Man abilities, but adds a faster combat style as well as his advanced senses, which he can use to slow down time to avoid incoming danger, or to lay some extra hurt bombs down on any villains. A new freefall mechanic has also been incorporated into this dimension (which looks similar to those found in the recent Ratchet & Clank games), allowing you to get the drop on enemies below you, regardless of whether they're on the ground or in the air, adding to the variety found in this adventure.

Point in development cycle: The game's due out in September, so I'm going to go ahead and say that what we saw was a beta build.

My take: I'm a fan of Spider-Man games in general, and this one seems like it'll be a decent addition to the series. While I usually enjoy the standard approach, the different dimensions seem like they'll provide a fair amount of variety to the game, which will potentially keep my interest high throughout the narrative. Granted, I have a few quibbles, but most of them have little to do with the game (Nerd alert: I'm not a fan of the Spider-Man Noir comic series at all; the 2099 series takes place in the future, not a different dimension!), so I'm willing to keep an open mind about the final product. Whether or not it's a success remains to be seen, but some interesting things are being done with the game, so I'm optimistic about how things will turn out.


DS Version details: (exclusives)


http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/64164

-The DS version will not be linear such as the console versions will be. As I previously stated, it will follow the SM:WOS DS formula of exploration (that was borrowed from Metroid and Castlevania anyway).

-There will be only three dimensions in the DS version. Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir, and either Spider-Man 2099 or the mystery fourth Spider-Man will be the third in this version of the game.

-There will be only seven villains in the DS version, compared to the thirteen in the console versions.

-Four out of the seven villains in the DS version will be exclusive ONLY to the DS version. These four villains have been especially created for the DS version. Two of the villains are: Calypso and Electro. Calypso will be in DS Noir (another new Noir character) and Electro will be in DS Amazing.


Finally, spoilers from the game developer - how to beat a certain character, and anothers origins.

I'm really hoping this is to Spider-Man what Arkham Asylum was to Batman.

[Supreme Convoy]

They still haven't announced the fourth Spidey? Interesting.

[DAVE]

I'm really hoping this is to Spider-Man what Arkham Asylum was to Batman.

Cool at first and then really repetitive and boring soon after? I hope not.

[Matt Jay]

Cool at first and then really repetitive and boring soon after? I hope not.

The Killer Croc fight was epic.

What do you think about Red Dead Redemption? Can we agree that Ebert was talking out of his ass yet? :)

[SighClops]

Cool at first and then really repetitive and boring soon after? I hope not.

Ha! I didn't play that game myself, but I'm hoping for SM:SD to get the same kind of critical and commercial success that AA received.

At the very least, I just hope there are no fucking chase scenes like in Ultimate Spider-Man.

[DAVE]

The Killer Croc fight was epic.

What do you think about Red Dead Redemption? Can we agree that Ebert was talking out of his ass yet? :)

I'm loving Red Dead so far. I'm having a lot of fun playing it. I still agree with Ebert though. :)

[The Human Target]

Cool at first and then really repetitive and boring soon after? I hope not.

Heh, agreed.

[SighClops]

It would never happen, but Amalgam's Spider-Boy would be a pretty amazing addition.

There could be a big fight with Bizarnage, the best named comic book character ever.

[Gordon Chumway]

Oh man, I hope the fourth is Spider-man: Chapter One!

Seriously though, I doubt they would be this secretive if it was the Ultimate Universe, but what else could it be?

Possibly his daughters dimension? Zombie Dimension?

[SighClops]

Spider-Girl would probably be the only one that would live up to the hype.

Or maybe it's going to be black Spider-Man as a segue for Donald Glover's inevitable portrayal in the new movie.

[Jonathan Callan]

I feel like already having Noir, Reign or Marvel Zombies might be too dark. Not enough contrast in art style/tone.

[SighClops]

I feel like already having Noir, Reign or Marvel Zombies might be too dark. Not enough contrast in art style/tone.

I don't think it'd be Marvel Zombies just by the token that I can't see Zombie Spider-Man giving a shit what happens to his dimension.

1602 Spider-Man could be fun.

I look at it this way..

What ELSE can they do with the character?

I mean, really.. swing, punch, jump.

How many versions of that have we gotten?

Opinions vary on which has the best swinging system.

So yeah, I'm fine with them trying different mechanics.. at least it's with a story and theoretically cohesive universe, as opposed to a bunch of mini-games.

[Ben Weldon]

I'm more confident than ever that it's going to be "Spider-Man Web Of Shadows" bad ending.

What appears to be the final box art for Activision's Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is here, thanks to Gamefly, apparently revealing the fourth, still unofficially revealed incarnation of Spidey. And he's black.

That black suit version of Spider-man could be a throwback to the post-Secret Wars webslinger, when Peter Parker was the owner of a dark, alien symbiote that could transform itself into a multitude of costumes. It's the same suit that eventually bonded with Eddie Brock to become the villain known as Venom.

Or it could just be a black costume, not a sentient unitard and mask, but where's the fun in that? All we know is that Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions will go black and that Activision will be talking about the game in greater detail at the San Diego Comic-Con next week. "Four Worlds, One Story: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions the Video Game" happens next Friday and we expect official confirmation of what that fourth dimension is by then.

Activision has already confirmed that Spider-man will take the form of Amazing, Noir and 2099 in the multi-platform game due out this September.

http://kotaku.com/5587469/your-fourth-spider+man-from-shattered-dimensions-is

[Spidey616]

Looking forward to finding out what the last costume is really about

[DAVE]

Seeing the 2099 costume like that is really cool to a dude who was like 11 or 12 when those comics first came out.

[Ryan Elliott]

That's such a cool, yet simple cover.

[The Hodag]

That's such a cool, yet simple cover.

Yep. Elegantly simple design work.

[Ryan Elliott]

Yep. Elegantly simple design work.


Even if I knew nothing about the game, it would make me want to pick it up and buy it.

Great design.

[hamgravy]

Agreed with all the above - really cool too how the black of the Noir is distinguished from the cooler purple/black of the symbiote suit.

Including the 2099 costume, Spidey's got the best variant costumes of any hero. Even the Iron Spidey eventually grew on me.

[Garth]

Seeing the 2099 costume like that is really cool to a dude who was like 11 or 12 when those comics first came out.

Totally! It is the opposite of the whole "childhood being...&^%$ed" thing

I liked the Spidey game with Doctor Octo-Carnage at the end. And surprisingly, I think the game based on the first movie wasn't so bad.

[Evan the Shaggy]

[Matt Jay]

Curse my fanboyism. I KNOW this game wil be bad, but Spider-man 2099, USM AND a Juggernaut fight? I must play it all.

[Lineofdeath2]

Why's he using the black costume?

[Ryan Elliott]

Why's he using the black costume?


Because it's during the time he HAD the black costume?

[DAVE]

Why's he using the black costume?


Because it's during the time he HAD the black costume?

And to differentiate itself from the Amazing "Dimension"?

[Ryan Elliott]

And to differentiate itself from the Amazing "Dimension"?


Yep. Different look to the character, and different types of powers and abilities.

[LilPoe]

Why's he using the black costume?

Maybe it's focusing on Carnage to continue the story of the USM game? It even looks more cell-shaded than the Amazing world.

[Marcdachamp]

FUCKING AWESOME!

Activision, please... PLEASE just make this at least mediocre on Wii. That's all I ask. If this game is terrible, I will be so, so mad at you. All I ask is mediocre. I'm hoping for awesome, like the first PS1 game, but if it's at least mediocre, you will have my $50. I swear.

[SighClops]

Why's he using the black costume?

My theory is that it's a new alternate dimension where he's full succumbed to the black costume.

This of it like Lost: we're getting the past (Noir), present (Amazing), future (2099), and "sideways" (the black suit) realities.

yes please. will keep an eye on the reviews. if wii is sucky, might get the PC version, though.

It's such an awesome idea. It would be a real shame.

:lol:

[SighClops]

According to Wikipedia, the general public isn't too thrilled about the Ultimate Universe's inclusion:


As soon as it was revealed that the Ultimate Universe was the final Dimension and players would be playing as Symbiote Spiderman, fan reaction has been universally negative. The main complaint being that Ultimate Spiderman is nearly identical to Amazing Spiderman, and players already played as Symbiote Spiderman in the mediocre title Ultimate Spiderman (which is visually identical to the level revealed in Shattered Dimensions). Fan reaction has been so negative, that there are already online petitions to boycott the developers and the game itself.

Personally, I'm excited about the Ultimate Spider-Man being in the same. I think this outrage is due to the fact that most of these people "boycotting" the game are that special kind of evil that occurs when someone is both a rabid videogame and comic book fan.

People are annoying. I think this is cool, and I liked the USM game better than every Spidey game since.

[Dude Pal]

Honestly, if they were doing a multiple universes game and didn't put Ultimate in there, I would have been pissed.

[Cth]

Ultimate?

Meh.

If you're going to do something new, do something new.

[Marcdachamp]

Honestly, if they were doing a multiple universes game and didn't put Ultimate in there, I would have been pissed.

Well, it is the biggest alternate reality Spidey's got.

Spider-Girl or Spider-Ham would have been pretty awesome, though.

[Xorn]

Ultimate Spider-Man pulls the camera back slightly, giving a more God of War-like perspective in which to play some God of War-like action. The punches, kicks and throws of Ultimate Spidey are powered by whipping tendrils of symbiote flesh, giving this Spider-Man more range. That's helpful, given the flood of foes that attack Spider-Man in the Ultimate dimension, enemies that include armed soldiers and massive mechanical Spider Slayers. Since the demo version of Spidey was maxed out with upgradeable powers and abilities, it was a breeze.


http://kotaku.com/5593710/the-ultimate-spider+man-shattered-dimensions-hands+on-preview

[Hoggie]

I am so scared to get my hopes up for this. I have played all the Spidey games and find some fun in all of them but at the end of the day I feel disappointed. This games looks like it has a lot of variety and cool unexplored characters but am I going to get this home and be like "Not again!"

[Dr. Chaos]

Agreed with Cth.

Would have much rather seen another obscure universe or something completely new.

I got my fill of the black suit and tendril shenanigans in Web of Shadows and I'm not a fan of the ultimate version.

[The_Bearded_One]

Yeah, I already played Ultimate Spiderman. I would have rathered something else. But the Wii version will probably blow anyways, so I'm not holding my breath.

[Hoggie]

I definitley don't need more Ultimate Venom tendrile slapping. Eating people was cool the first 10 times or so but then just got old.

I was just about to post this.....

[Lanowar]

I noticed with Ultimate Deadpool there basically just doing Deadpool, it's Nolan North doing the voice so expect Hulk Vs Wolverine Deadpool with a different costume on.

It looks like Spider-Man will be getting some veteran voice acting behind it. Josh Keaton who voiced the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series in 2008 will be lending his voice to the Ultimate Spider-Man. Dan Gilvenez from the 1980s Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends series will be taking on the role of Migeul O’Hara as Spider-Man 2099.
From the 1990’s Spider-Man: The Animated Series, Christopher Daniel will be Spider-Man Noir. Finally, the most impressive of the list comes from Neil Patrick Harris from the short-lived MTV CGI Spider-Man series who will take the helm of the Amazing version of Peter Parker.I gotta admit that the 90's series is part of what got me hooked on Spidey as a kid. To this day his voice is kinda the basis of the voice I "hear" whenever I read a Spidey comic so it'll be cool to hear him again. Also dig Keaton and NPH.

I LOVED MTV Spider-Man, so I really geeked over NPH's hiring, but the fact that they got so many other classic Spidey voices is just icing on the cake. This really is the most ambitious comic-book video game I've ever seen.

There isn't even an option for me in this.

Scarlet Spider all the way.

[hamgravy]

Wait, they actually made that ugly Spider-Armor look halfway decent.

Like it actually has weight and purpose.

[Marcdachamp]

Mangaverse would have been an awesome dimension of its own.

Do those codes work for the Wii version, too? Or is that just a PS3 or 360 thing?

[SighClops]

There isn't even an option for me in this.

Scarlet Spider all the way.

No question about it. Thank you, K-Mart, for making this decision easy.

[Garth]

Ugh, I wasn't planning on buying this, but I'm not sure I can say "no" to Scarlet Spider

[HeroBoy]

I think we can at least all agree---wow, Best Buy got the shit end of the stick

[Marcdachamp]

Truth. When I heard "Negative Zone," I thought it was the Spider-Man Unlimited look.

So, can anyone answer? Are these costumes for PS3 and 360 only?

[Cth]

Presumably.

No official word yet.. pictures seem to suggest so.

[The Human Target]

Collecting pieces of a magical tablet?

Uuuuuuuuuugh!

[Marcdachamp]

Presumably.

No official word yet.. pictures seem to suggest so.

That would suck. I want an exclusive costume... :cry:

[Garth]

Where is the Spider Armor pre-ordered from?

I updated the article to clarify after speaking with Marvel's Chris Baker: every outfit is unlockable through gameplay except for the Cosmic four-pack, which is exclusive to GameStop.

Whew! Good!

[Pat Shatner]

Yay! Scarlet Spider!

[Slewo.O]

Well that was a nice ripoff trick.

[HeroBoy]

It's amazing that, for such a hated idea, that Scarlet Spider custome, and the Ben Reilly Spider-Man outfit have made it into soooo much media.

[Ben]

I played this and it kind of gave me a headache.

Where'd you play it?

Same with Iron Spidey.

[Slewo.O]

I love iron spidey

[HeroBoy]

I love iron spidey

so you're the guy...

I liked it too.

Nothing makes sense now, up is down, down is up.
