Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
"Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions" looks awesome. Really awesome, in fact. So awesome that I think it could give "Batman: Arkham Asylum" a run for its money as one of the best comic book based video games released in recent years.
In conjunction with GameSpot, Activision has released a first look at gameplay footage from "Shattered Dimensions." According to senior producer Meghan Morgan, players will assume Spider-Man's identity across several distinct universes including the Amazing Universe, based on the traditional Spidey stories told by Marvel Comics, and the Noir Universe, based on the character's recent reinterpretation through the "Noir" comic book line. There are two other universes that haven't been announced yet. Each universe has a unique core gameplay mechanic, with the Amazing Universe focusing on web-based action. Spidey can spin his webs to make weapons like hammers and staves, interact with the environment and blind his enemies, among other functions. In the Noir Universe, he'll have to rely on stealth-based tactics, using his shadowy surroundings to catch villains off guard. Additionally, Activision announced two of the game's villains - Kraven the Hunter in the Amazing Universe and Hammerhead in the Noir Universe. Hammerhead's Noir design was created exclusively for the game in conjunction with Marvel, as the character has not appeared in the "Noir" books. Activision promised that more details, including the identities of the other two universes and other classic villains, will be announced in the coming weeks and months at events such as E3 and this weekend's WonderCon. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/0...mensions-noir/ ![]() ![]() "EVERYTHING YOU DO IS A PIECE OF A PLANE PLUMMETING TOWARDS A PITIFUL, DYING EARTH BUT YOUR ART, WHAT YOU CREATE IS STEPPING ONTO THE BURNING WING AND FORGETTING SILLY THINGS LIKE LIFE AND DEATH FOR A MOMENT JUST TO ENJOY FOR ONE SECOND A GLIMPSE OF BEAUTY BEFORE YOU ARE REDUCED TO ASHES" - Marilyn Manson 12-15-1999 Last edited by dronepool; 03-31-2010 at 11:11 PM. |

I'm excited for it. One of the execs on the previous spierman games admitted the last few games have sucked because they were shooting for "8 and 8.5s" cause they were kids games. He said they are going to try and get back to basics instead of shooting for a mediocre rating because they're making a 'kids games'.

For the Amazing Universe was that not Neil Patick Harris's voice who also did Spider-Man The Animated Series which aired on MTV after the 1st movie was released?

Wondering what the other two universes will be. Guessing not ultimate, as each universe seemingly is a different gameplay experience, and I can't see Ultimate differing from 616 in any way.

Once the "gameplay differentiation between universes" gimmick gets torn apart once we see how uneven the game mechanics and quality are, we'll be left a forgettable bore that won't do shit for the franchise. Almost certain more than a few "professional" reviewers will question why the best of the universes didn't just get it own game - hold me to this.
The dev team is untested in this genre and I don't trust Activision to give a shit; being that they're pretty blatant about them releasing this to meet their license quota for the year and not because somebody had a great idea. This has 'job' written all over it (much like Friend and Foe, though even that was kinda cute and fun). I am interested in seeing the last two universes, if only as a comic fan, but I have little interest as a gamer. |

Web of Shadows was awful..what a disappointment. I was so behind the concept of the game but they just didn't pull it off properly. I liked how much emphasis they placed towards the "allies" and there was like..2-3? what a waste. After the symbiote crap the game just sucked ass.

Web of Shadows was alright. It didn't live up to the hype. It was still fun swinging around and webbing bad guys up.

Even that was pretty stripped down, though. I will agree it was fun, though. I still haven't beat the game, because it got to that point of more tedious than anything.

I agree with Kane Knight..it was not that exciting. I mean..the swinging around was pretty lame in my opinion. The city just did not feel like a city..very few people, very few cars..etc. It would had been more interesting if there would had been more landmarks from the Marvel Universe but even then..

The voice of Noir Spidey is the VA from the Fox Kids cartoons. Every Spidey will have a VA who portrayed Spider-Man in the past. Based on this I speculate:
- Ultimate Spider-Man, by the dude doing the Spectacular Spidey cartoon. - And Movie Spider-Man, by Tobey himself. Still fail in the making but the idea with the VAs is cool. Last edited by Kalyx triaD; 09-03-2010 at 09:40 PM. |

The game has first-person brawling. It's things like that which gives me bad vibes about the project as a whole. I'm more optimistic than I sound, I wish no failure for any game. I just think this direction is half-assed. The dev team claims to have created this game after looking at the past games and seeing what fans complained about and wanted most. I am a fan. I read all the reviews for the past games. How they concluded a game set in four universes with different playstyles and a 1st person punching mechanic is beyond me. But hey, "We'll see." |

Same here, except make it GTA 4.
No other sandbox game has been able to make their enviornments feel as alive as liberty city was in that game. |

GTTV is highlighting the game and it's a fucking joke like my spidey-sense warned me about. Activision/Beenox fail. Yes, I can say that before the game drops.
Cue promotions, oversized ads and banners all over blog sites, game journalists pretending to be excited while keeping a straight face, a demo that'll give you a few levels from at least 2 universes, and the game dropping to less than favorable reviews. Activision makes a few mil, game journalists get to sound 'critical' over a bad game, and I'm left waiting another fiscal year for a half-decent Spidey game. Fucking Christ, my tooth aches. |

I mean, fuck even waiting for the other half of the game's premise to get revealed, let alone waiting for it to come out
There were guys talking about it and some videos of maybe two parts of the game, that's enough to decide whether this experience lives or dies |

Btw, Gamestop's preorder bonus (it was leaked on the website, briefly a while back) is going to be the ability to play as Cosmic Spider-man in all four dimensions.
![]() Notice the arm spikes on that fourth Spider-man. While 2099 isn't another dimension in the traditional sense and you could I guess slap arm spikes on anything, I'm thinking that 2099 is pretty likely all things considered. |

lol at Spider-Man 2099.
As much as I liked the series growing up, having the chance to play as Spider-Man 2099 is just 15 years too late. I wonder how many people have even heard of the 2099 universe. I want to be excited about this..but after the failure that was Web of Shadows and all the information I am gathering about this game..I am just not into it. Like Kalyx pointed out, everyone is going to bitch and moan about their favorite universe not being included or getting a game of its own. |
