Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

[Ryuuie]

Lets hope Activision will also allow a delay for the game if Beenox really wants to put their A game into this game. It helped out Rocksteady to delay their game to late summer. Let's hope Beenox is allowed to be given all the time they possibly need.

I doubt it... it's just not what Activision does.

M:UA 2 got delayed but I don't believe it was for game problems.

[Nathan]

Looks like multiplayer's out, btw. This means the possibility of any non-Spidey characters is kind of low.

That's a good thing. They already have more than enough work with creating 4 different Spider-Man gameplay styles. Besides, as some people already mentioneds, this isn't MUA.

Yea, they'll probably save the non-Spidey characters as cameos. Let's hope they do better than Wolverine in WOS...

I'd love to see Phoenix as the one pulling Spidey along the universes... I mean the Phoenix Force is the creator of all alternate realities (if I'm not mistaken) so... yea.

Perfect reason to see Jean there and it'd make much more sense than having her playable anyway. Plus, we can see her as the White Phoenix of the Crown.

Spider-Man can't be a host to the Phoenix as he's not a character with psionic abilities but it doesn't mean that it can't help him.

I think that makes more sense than Captain Universe coming around to help when he's not exactly strong enough to do anything with the various Marvel universes other than time travel. That doesn't make him a cosmic being though (no where near the scale of Phoenix or Eternity).

[Nathan]

Well, actually, Spidey did possess the Phoenix power for short time. I just read up on it. Apparently he gained the powers after giving C.P.R. to the Phoenix. :funny:

Ya, I did read about that XD A What If?, right?

[Nathan]

No, no. Not a What if. It happened in the main comic.

Gamestop has this listed as coming out September 6th.

[Ryuuie]

Gamestop has this listed as coming out September 6th.

It's not. There is no confirmation at all. September MAY be the month, but GameStop doesn't really know.

This seems to be a good time to point out that this:

It helped out Rocksteady to delay their game to late summer.

is nothing more than a rumor.

Rocksteady and Eidos never delayed anything. Someone spread a rumor or gave a misheard claim saying that B:AA would release in the summer.

In reality, Eidos and Rocksteady didn't officially give a date UNTIL late summer. According to Keir on the B:AA forums, this rumor was most likely the work of some Rocksteady employee talking for an interview.

[Silvermoth]

Looks like they're going for a "Friend or Foe" style game where you play through levels and get to the badguys and move on. No sandbox (es). How dissapoint.

[Nathan]

More like classic Spider-Man games. Friend or Foe was more like MUA for kiddies.

[Ryuuie]

We don't know that but we do know that there will not be any multiplayer and you will play only as the one Spider-Man character central to that universe.

[Ajendo]

So is Barnes only voicing the noir version?

Actually, after watching the trailer again, it sounds like Barnes stops at "I'm not the only"...

and where you hear the word, "one" it sounds like Niel Patrick Harris.

[Nathan]

I think it would be a great idea if they'd get separate voice actors for all the Spider-Men, to put them even further apart from each other. With Spider-Man 2099 they'd have to get someone else anyway, since he's not just a parallel Peter, but someone else entirely.

[Ajendo]

Yeah and I think that's exactly what they're doing. When the trailer tails off from Noir into Amazing, the VO is no longer Barnes and I'd swear NPH took over with the last word.

[venom892]

I thought I might post the Captain Universe costume for all 4 characters again. Found them all nicely put together on Kotaku.

http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/2842/spideysuits01.jpg (http://img638.imageshack.us/i/spideysuits01.jpg/)

And a bigger resized one so we can have a better look at the characters.

http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/6444/spideysuits02.gif (http://img153.imageshack.us/i/spideysuits02.gif/)

The 3rd Spider-Man really doesn't have any distinct features, but I really think it's Symbiote Spider-Man. Who else could it be? The mouth part seems to always be the only thing that stays intact from the old costume. Amazing shows the web mask, 2099 has those 2 red lines that are part of his original mask design, not to mention he's still got the arm fins. The 3rd Spider though is just black.Well This definitely brings up my anticipation for the game.I love Cosmic Spidey.Also I can't wait to see what the 2099 reality looks like.I guarantee that one of the boss battles will be Venom 2099.I wonder though what reality will the Symboite Spidey be from?I remember there is a what if issue in which spidey stays bonded with the symboite but dies in the process.I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

[Oscorp]

Seriously...I'm fed up of symbiotes. Can't there be ONE game nowadays that doesn't have anything to do with symbiotes? Jeez...

Yea, im really not feeling that massive web hammer. I hope some of his movements arent too exaggerated. I mean i know Spidey can do things no human can, but the laws of gravity still apply. No double jump please!

[JustABill]

Yeah and I think that's exactly what they're doing. When the trailer tails off from Noir into Amazing, the VO is no longer Barnes and I'd swear NPH took over with the last word.
It could easisly be Josh Keaton as well though. That one word is way too similar to both of them for me to be certain.

[Pac-Master]

I guess we'll all find out on Saturday.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I don't think some of the voices are finished yet.

No what *is* a rumour was the june release date. The game *was* intended for early summer but was pushbacked to late summer. There was a delay and you can ask an Eidos employee for a confirm if you don't believe me. :awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm. Lost every ounce of interest I had in this when I saw the trailer. I couldn't care less about Spider-Man: Noir or other alternate universe Spider-Men.

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm. Lost every ounce of interest I had in this when I saw the trailer. I couldn't care less about Spider-Man: Noir or other alternate universe Spider-Men. Plus, Dan Slott's writing it, which means the Amazing universe is going to be loaded with Brand New Day references, which, again, I couldn't care less about.

Guess its good for me that i have no idea what the hell that is. I dont read any comics.

[JustABill]

And suddenly so much is explained....

Either way Brand New Day is the controversial new continuity which was created when Peter Parker life-rapped his ready to die Aunt by trading in his marriage to Mary Jane to Mephisto/The Devil. So continuity went haywire, something you'd think Reed Richards, Doctor Strange, Charles Xavier and other powerful minds/mystics/scientists would catch on to but don't.

So Peter never got married now and Harry Osborn never died, and a bunch of new guys we never met before suddenly were Peter's best friends/supporting cast.

I wish I was ****ting you.

[Drz]

Plus, Dan Slott's writing it, which means the Amazing universe is going to be loaded with Brand New Day references, which, again, I couldn't care less about.

Thats like saying Paul Dini writing Arkham Asylum means references to his future arcs and Zatanna stuff. :p

[TheCorpulent1]

True, I misworded that. Slott writing doesn't beget Brand New Day references. The fact that the Amazing universe is consciously supposed to reflect the "classic" Spider-Man comics begets Brand New Day references, since the defense of OMD/BND has always been that it takes Spider-Man back to his "classic" roots after the marriage took Peter astray for 20 years. And I'm not interested in that or the Noir universe. If 2099 is involved, that's the only part that kind of interests me; but Spider-Man 2099 was like forever ago and I haven't missed it too much so far, so even that's not much of a draw for me, given that I'd have to play through all the crappy other universes too.

[Venom 1988]

Jeez I knew sooner or later someone would bring in BND and start complaining *sigh* The game is going to be self-contained i.e. nothing to do with what is going on in the comics.


So Peter never got married now and Harry Osborn never died, and a bunch of new guys we never met before suddenly were Peter's best friends/supporting cast.

Only 2 characters were added to the supporting cast at the beginning of BND. Neither of which were portrayed as Pete's "best friends".

[Ryuuie]

:oldrazz: Yea well, I knew something about it was a rumor.

It was last summer when people were talking about it. I forgot.

[TheCorpulent1]

Jeez I knew sooner or later someone would bring in BND and start complaining *sigh* The game is going to be self-contained i.e. nothing to do with what is going on in the comics.
Mm-hmm. I'm not really complaining about any of it, just saying I lost interest in it when I saw the trailer. I'm actually gonna go ahead and unsubscribe from this thread, in fact, so me and my pesky opinions won't ever have to bother you again. :)

[Mario_Galaxy]

The main universe Spidey is in a jungle fighting Kraven. I haven't read comics in years now but I don't think that means it revolves around OMD or whatever :confused:

[Venom 1988]

Mm-hmm. I'm not really complaining about any of it, just saying I lost interest in it when I saw the trailer. I'm actually gonna go ahead and unsubscribe from this thread, in fact, so me and my pesky opinions won't ever have to bother you again. :)

You take your opinions and get on out of here. We don't kindly to you folks :oldrazz:

[spideyboy_1111]

So is Barnes only voicing the noir version?

Actually, after watching the trailer again, it sounds like Barnes stops at "I'm not the only"...

and where you hear the word, "one" it sounds like Niel Patrick Harris.

no he's at least voicing them both. that's clearly his voice for both in the trailer.. he just has a deeper/raspier one in noir

[Venom 1988]

Really? The 616 Spidey sounds so much like Josh Keaton to me(though to be fair, we only here him say 2 words). Noir definitely sounds like him though.

[spideyboy_1111]

616 sounds pretty identical to the fox cartoon.... which was Barnes.

[Venom 1988]

I dunno doesn't sound like him it to me

[LightningFlash]

The main universe Spidey is in a jungle fighting Kraven. I haven't read comics in years now but I don't think that means it revolves around OMD or whatever :confused:

This little part worries me even more.

What if Amazing Spider-Man's only villain is Kraven and then that means, what, we only get four, five villains top(the fifth would most likely be the "ultimate mastermind"...because every game needs one) in this game?

[Venom 1988]

I really doubt that...and I also doubt there is only one location per universe

[Oscorp]

This little part worries me even more.

What if Amazing Spider-Man's only villain is Kraven and then that means, what, we only get four, five villains top(the fifth would most likely be the "ultimate mastermind"...because every game needs one) in this game?

That's actually what I think it will end up like. Most Spidey games have about 5-7 villains total (at least as far as I remember). Thus, I also have a feeling it will be very short. Not that strange actually, seeing how little time they've got to develope the game. That's also why I have a bad feeling about this.

EDIT: Just basing it on my gut feeling lol so I have no real complaint about the game yet, just thinking loud, kinda... :P

[LightningFlash]

I really doubt that...and I also doubt there is only one location per universe

So there is a chance ASM will be in New York? I know that there are scenes of ASM in NY, but that could've been the "robbery" scene.

I just thought of something...what if...during the "robbery" scene, it's a different Spider-Man? It could be Raimi's version of Spidey, with Tobey Maguire voicing him, and once the tablet thing breaks, then we get thrown into alternate realities? I mean, Raimi's version is different, as the suit's different, all of his villains are dead, and his Spidey has organic webbing.

And the mastermind villain could indeed be Sam Raimi...

okay, so the last part is me bashing Sammy Raimi...haha.

[Ryuuie]

Finally got official confirmation on September 2010.

http://www.beenox.com/en/news/beenox_develops_spider-man__shattered_dimensions

No, not September 7, 2010, just September.

GameStop doesn't know **** about the day, sorry.

[spideyboy_1111]

i really doubt activision is gonna shell out money so that each spidey is a different voice actor.... when there still paying people to do the villains and other heroes and what not in the game

[Nathan]

I voiced that concern on Hero HQ too, that with 4 different Spider-Men, we might not get enough villains in each Dimension. Didn't USM have like 8-9 bosses? I really hope we'll get at the least 2 bosses for each Dimension. Great would be if we got 3.

[LightningFlash]

^ That's only one of many concerns I have.

And USM had...Venom of course...R.H.I.N.O....Silver Sable...Electro...Green Goblin and Beetle.

Wolverine, if you count him as a villain when you're playing as Venom.

[spideyboy_1111]

i think at the very very least we will have 2 villains per universe. I couldn't imagine only one per world.... that would be very lame.

[Nathan]

^ That's only one of many concerns I have.

And USM had...Venom of course...R.H.I.N.O....Silver Sable...Electro...Green Goblin and Beetle.

Wolverine, if you count him as a villain when you're playing as Venom.

And there was Shocker, though he barely counts as a boss, and Carnage.

I'm not really a fan of those silly web moves. Sure, I've seen Spidey sometimes create something like a baseballbat or even webball, but now he's creating giant hammers and morning stars? Wtf?

[zenith16]

meh prof xavier wouldn't sense it any way it's a rule at marvel that telepaths powers are interfered with and screwed up by magic events, and can't sense a damn thing, plus add to the fact that spidermans spider sense always stop xavier originally from reading spidermans mind cause for some reason that part of spiderman powers is connected to the Astral plane it makes things even harder to read his mind. tha later has been show i nthe comics and the cartoon of Spidey friends. the magic thing was shown dureing claremont frist run and has been a problem for telepaths for years.

The only way Xavier would know is if spider man straight out told him every thing. then you'd see the X-Men help. if their aloowed to be able to. (editors at marvel i mean)

Reed Ricahards doesn't deal with magic users that often. he'd have to make an entire wing of gadgets to combat magic before hand to deal that. but as I said he doesn't deal with that often enough so the answers simple there. Now dr. strange on the other hand hmmm he should sense that since that more of his realm of things to deal with.

Wtf? if you remember or have seen the 1960's spider man that's where you see him make thing like hammers and pirate swords and more out of his webbing.

[Nathan]

Look at that size of the morning star in that screenshot above though. I don't mind that small stuff, but that thing there is just crazy.

[zenith16]

What the hell are you talking about? As I said it's a rule in the comic's (marvels) that Spiderman can't be sensed by telepaths mostly identy wise and the magic thing it's been stated through out the years as a rule that any thing that's magic based is a weakness for telepaths. they can't sense a damn thing with events involving it.

It's one of a telepaths many weakensses. didn't you know?

You know what's funny? S.H.I.E.L.D. found out about the House of M event, you know how? By having one of their Telepaths read Spidey's mind.

[zenith16]

Ok...but what does any of that have to do with this video game? well technically nothing cause if you saw just a bill and pp were kinda of off topic from the get go and talking about the actual events in the comics. lol pay attention brotha(and nah it's just the way I talk to people I like or being freiendly too when I say brotha). I was just kinda discussiing an slighty off topic issue they got into. It happens some times. but I did sorta get back on topic where I'm talking with Nathan.

[zenith16]

You know what's funny? S.H.I.E.L.D. found out about the House of M event, you know how?

Or more likely some one at marvel goofed again on that issue . Happens alot as well.

I am absolutely lost cause I have no idea what you're talking about but ok. lol

I actually didn't know that about the whole psionic vs magic thing.

What do you think on my idea of Phoenix Force guiding Spider-Man around these universes rather than someone like Captain Universe?

[Nathan]

Personally, I thought Uatu would be interfering again and offer his help.

[Tron Bonne]

I actually kind of like the web moves. They're kind of weird and all, but whatever, it's ****ing Spider-Man, he's got radioactive blood; I can't find myself all that bothered by it

What do you think on my idea of Phoenix Force guiding Spider-Man around these universes rather than someone like Captain Universe?hmm two cosmic enitys guiding spidey cool. though that thing on jean creating new realitys is new to me. I'd like to know where that came from?

I know I was on and off of late with the books. but that is both odd and new to me.

I'd be cool with her doing that. But I'm not sure how likly that would be. hmm and if she was doing that you'd think cyclops would notice something? seeing spidey would go all over ny with that and she kinda puts out alot of mutant energy. telepathically i mean. and I think they said he's still linked to her.

[Venom 1988]

I am absolutely lost cause I have no idea what you're talking about but ok. lol Someone brought up OMD and the comics, and I replied to it and then there was a brief discussion on them on the last page or so. Then it died down

I read that somewhere, it wasn't Wikipedia but I can't remember where...

I do know that Phoenix is omnipotent so whatever incarnation of Phoenix Force that you see in movies, cartoons, video games, DTVs, Ultimate Marvel is the same Phoenix from 616. Same for characters like Eternity.

Personally, I thought Uatu would be interfering again and offer his help.

Uatu...I don't know. I'd rather have Phoenix Force myself or even Eternity since Capt. Universe is his/it's guardian.

Uatu needs to get in trouble for interfering so much...put him in Watcher jail and make him watch Batman and Robin, Spider-Man 3, X-Men: The Last Stand, and Halle Berry's Catwoman movie... for all eternity.

[zenith16]

Personally, I thought Uatu
would be interfering again and offer his help.
he doesn't seem to get involved unless the planet is about to be destroyed by someone like Galatus or onslaught or some one that makes the 616 planet disappear from exsistance. And he was pretty much none exsistant in AOA. I doubt since he didn't do much in AOA. or he'd show up in astral form to one of the heroes as he did during the onslaught event and so on before that. and I had no hint of him in H.O.M.

[zenith16]

double post

[Ryuuie]

double post

Well, we'll make him tail Spider-Man around in SM2 and help that stupid balloon kid every two seconds.

If he's gonna poke his big head in our business, he'd better do some physical work. :cmad:

[zenith16]

lol hehe. Oh yah I think the only reason he gets involved so much cause the celestials have an edict on the planet and they made Uatu there guardian for warning that planet of danger. Cause of some accident that was cause by the watchers. So he pretty much has to do that. Or face their wrath. That and I think he likes the people on 616 earth too.

and there was one time a version of Uatu did get invovled and I think he got slaughtered for it. he charged at some one with his version of a light saber, for trying to destroy the earth. I think it wasone of the mixed version of the MU and DC ones. which probly why he just warns people.

I'd rather Captain Universe. The Phoenix Force is too "X-Men" while Spider-Man has actually been Captain Universe. So I'd rather that.

Really I'd like to see Dr. Strange. He and Spidey have always had an interesting relationship, plus he'd fit this shattered dimesions thing really well.

It was dumb in the 60's, its still dumb now. And yet it was shown on the discovery channel that scientists are actually making/ creating organic webbing to help fortify building during construction to deal with earth quake problems which was shown on at discovery canada or what was know as daily planet. Any ways I look at it for what it was back then it was toon with things that made kids laugh. and don't take every freaking thing so serious like it's some thing to get mad at.

Though I have a feeling that if some how some part of it did come to be real some how cause you know scientists and then you'd be screaming some how when it comes to be and I don't want to be around you for that event . lol hmmm i wonder if i can still order those videos from them though? hmmm.

[zenith16]

I'd rather Captain Universe. The Phoenix Force is too "X-Men" while Spider-Man has actually been Captain Universe. So I'd rather that.

Really I'd like to see Dr. Strange. He and Spidey have always had an interesting relationship, plus he'd fit this shattered dimesions thing really well.
umm dr strange only deal's with mystical events and seeing that it's a alternate realitys event which is mostly scientific mr fantastic or xavier and the X-Men fit better and they run into those events more then alot of the other heroes . but when it comes to demon and magical realms like what was done to mesing with his marriage then yeah Dr. Strange fit's fine.

Haha what the hell?

The people who dont like those gigantic web weapons thinks its over the top, even for Spider-Man, thats all. We dont care if he did it in the 60's or if scientist now are developing real life webbing, we just think its dumb. Period.

Good point about the X-Men thing, what about Eternity showing up since CG is associated with him? What do you think about that?

I'd love to see Dr. Strange too, I agree he'd fit in this game. It's just make a lot of sense.

[zenith16]

Eternity makes more sense out of all of them. though he'd make my neck hurt if I was spidey.

But makes the most sense.

I'm loving the cell shaded graphics for the amazing spiderman. I'd love an amazing spiderman based sandbox, with those type graphics, and with high quality cinematics.

[LightningFlash]

See, I do not like that style at all. WoS had great graphics and great combat, but awful story with a lot of plot holes.

[JustABill]

If I see Carlie Cooper or hear a mention of her in this game, I will take the disc out of my playstation 3 and use it as a frisbee.

It was dumb in the 60's, its still dumb now.

The last couple Spider-Man games didn't have that silly web moves. I wonder why they are starting now. Even in the current comics he doesn't do that.

[spideyboy_1111]

well.... cosmic spider-man made a whole bunch of web shapes lol

[Spidey_62]

I swear if one of the other two isn't Spider-Man 2099 I'll be so pissed.
Gamestop accidentally leaked an image of all 4 of the Spidey's in the Captain Universe costume. Nobody can figure out the 3rd one for sure but the last one was definitely Spidey 2099.

[Ajendo]

It could easisly be Josh Keaton as well though. That one word is way too similar to both of them for me to be certain.

I own the MTV spidey cartoon on dvd and watch HIMYM religiously as well as playing MGS3 countless times. I know the differences in Keaton and Harris' voices and where the trailer cuts to Amazing spider-man that definitely wasn't Keaton and I'd bet the farm it was Harris.

[Ajendo]

no he's at least voicing them both. that's clearly his voice for both in the trailer.. he just has a deeper/raspier one in noir

Nope. I've downloaded all the eps of the 90s TAS and when it cut to Amazing, that wasn't Barnes. I know Barnes' voice well. It was definitely him doing the Noir voice though.

[spideyboy_1111]

audio and his own voice has probably changed over the course of what... nearly 15 years now? i seriously doubt there going to have one of the most iconic spider-man voices play only a deep voice in which no on is familiar with.... i have all the 90's series downloaded too... whoop de do. sounds like him to me. only time will tell

[zenith16]

The last couple Spider-Man games didn't have that silly web moves. I wonder why they are starting now. Even in the current comics he doesn't do that. I think it's cause they want to pay tribute to the "Stan Lee and Kurby ERA" and what was shown in the 60's toon's where spidey was doing that, so they can claim "see we do read the comics for research, like Rock steady did for batman did" and the fact they wanted a unique move set thing that their pushing as well.

Since they say their trying to have all have different fighting styles. they just want it to look different. and have some gamer laugh at it.

I bet you anything since they have some marvel guys working for them that are obsesses with ultmate spidey or just unltimate they will have what you want with that one or another version that won't do that with their web moves. won't surprise me at all.

Barne's voice is very distinguishable. I've been familiar with it since the late 80s and that trailer clearly indicates exactly what you doubt. When it cuts to Amazing spider-man, the voice clearly belongs to NPH.

i have all the 90's series downloaded too... whoop de do. sounds like him to me. only time will tell

Ok great but that means you don't have a good ear for voices then because yes, Barne's deepens his voice for the noir narration and it's clearly him but that's where it stops, with noir and HPH takes over in this trailer.

[ProjectPat2280]

You wont have to wait that long. Activision releases Spider-Man titles on a yearly bases. This game is set to come out in Sept of 2010, so there will be another Spider-Man title around September of 2011.

I really doubt Activision hired NPH to do voice work for this game. I dont care how well you think you know the voices, im sure thats not NPH. If it is, and Activision has 4 different voices for each Spider-Man, then ill be the first to admit i was wrong, but i really, really have a hard time believing Activison is putting that much effort into this title.

you act as though we haven't had a level based SM game before.
Spider-man Maximum Carnage SNES
SPider-man Separation anxiety SNES
Spider-man PS1
Spider-man: enter electro Ps1
Spider-man: the movie PS2

I've played them and I prefer spider-man to have an open city environment. I assumed based on activision's CEO's comments that he was of the same mind but I guess not. I don't feel "levels" agree with spiderman.

[ProjectPat2280]

2010-2008=2...not 1 :woot:

Its, mostly true. Spider-Man is a franchise that Activsion is trying to whore out. We've seen a Spider-Man title, almost yearly since 2005. We have sometimes seen two Spider-Man titles in one year. Spider-Man might not be pushed out the way Guitar Hero titles or Call of Duty titles are, but its one of Activsions franchises that they are so desperately trying to run into the ground.

Im kind of with you man, i think Spider-Man is better suited to larger environments, but we havent seen nearly enough of this game. Maybe the environments will be quite large and you wont notice that there isnt a true "free roam".

Ill wait until i see more to pass final judgement.

[Pac-Master]

I just had a thought...

Remember those pictures that Gamestop leaked? Well, could it be that they revealed all of the dimensions' different art style? Think about it. In the first picture, you could ever so slightly see that "ink on paper" thing in the Amazing universe. In the Cosmic Noire pic, the style looks about the same as in the game. If the first two's styles reflect their styles in the game, could it be that the Symbiote's style is all out cell shaded, and 2099's style is more modern?

Y'know, I think you may be onto something with that. Maybe we'll see this reaffirmed a bit when the next dimension is revealed. The next one will be revealed at the WonderCon panel tomorrow, right?

[socool]

no way. there is no way they are revealing another dimension literally less than a weak after announcing the first two.

2010-2008=2...not 1 :woot:

Meh, one could look at it being one year because it came out late October of '08.

And also, I thought Activision previously announce that they want to release Spider-Man games annually from now on?

[Brainiac 8]

I'd rather them take a break from sandboxing the game as that usually just gives us repetetive missions and crimes to bust.

If it means a tighter focus on story and more fleshed out areas and villians, I'm all for them dropping free-roam.

[LightningFlash]

I don't think there's anything wrong with not having a sandbox-style game.

But the story has to be great though. Which, I doubt Shattered Dimensions will be.

[LightningFlash]

[Nathan]

If the story is at least as good as the 2 PS1 games, I'll be happy enough. They weren't exactly the deepest stories, but were nicely paced and such a fun comic story.

I remember the first game being so much fun, that I beat it at least twice a day. For several days.

[Nathan]

*double post*

[Spider-Vader]

If the story is long, then I'll most likely buy it without free-roam.

[Silvermoth]

Lack of sandbox still seems like a step backwards though. I'll give it a pass until they're willing to make a spider-man game for reasons other than cost effectiveness.

[Nathan]

A new Newsrama (http://www.newsarama.com/games/Spider-Man-Video-Game-Preview-100402.html) article. Saw it posted on Hero HQ. The two more interesting bits.

Sandbox style Spider-Man is definitely out.

Another way Activision wanted Shattered Dimensions to be different was getting away from the open world, sandbox-style of pretty much every Spider-Man game since 2004's Spider-Man 2 movie game. Shattered Dimensions is much more linear and level-based. You can play the four different worlds in any order you want, but have to progress past the first "act in each before playing the second.

And all 4 Spideys get different voice actors. All who have voiced Spidey before.

Activision is holding a panel for the game Saturday afternoon at Wondercon, and will be joined by Christopher Daniel Barnes, who voiced Spider-Man in the '90s cartoon and will voice Spider-Man Noir. Morgan noted that all four Spider-Mans in the game will have different voices, and each actor is someone that has voiced the character before (let more speculation commence!).

[DACMAN]

I don't care either way. I'd rather a free-roam game because I loved Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man 3, and Web of Shadows and still pop them in from time to time. Arkham Asylum was amazing but I don't plan on replaying it ever again.

With all that said a good game is a good game. That's all I want free-roam or not.

Well that's definitely an interesting find. I wish Chris Barnes could have voiced Spidey through the whole thing but at least they got 4 different actors who have played him before. I'm agreeing with everybody else that classic Spidey sounds a lot like NPH.

[Nathan]

I really hope Mike Vaughn is nowhere on the list of Spider-Man voice actors. And whoever they choose for 2099, I hope he can pull off a more edgy voice. Something a little less friendly neighborhood Spider-Man sounding.

[Jick09]

I grew tired of sand-box Spidey games. I'm personally happy that it'll be level based. If it's as fun as the games for PS1, which is a thought shared by many, than I'm sold.

Rino Romano better be one of the voice overs.

[Spidey_62]

Well, since Christopher Daniel Barnes is a lock, I'm hoping for Rino Romano, Josh Keaton and Niel Patrick Harris. That would be perfect, right there.

:spidey:

[Pac-Master]

I was reaaally hoping that CDB would voice all of them.

[Pac-Master]

I was reaaally hoping that CDB would voice all of them.

[Nathan]

I think it's better to have 4 different voice actors. It helps to make them all even more distinct.

[Ryuuie]

The characters who have voiced Spider-Man before are:

Paul Soles (Spider-Man 1967 TV series)
Ted Schwartz (Spider-Man 1981 TV series)
Dan Gilvezan (Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends)
Christopher Daniel Barnes (Spider-Man: The Animated Series) -Confirmed as Spider-Man Noir-
Rino Romano (Spider-Man Unlimited, Spider-Man (PS1/N64), and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro)
Neil Patrick Harris (Spider-Man: The New Animated Series)
Josh Keaton (Spectacular Spider-Man, Marvel Super Hero Squad video game)
Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3 movies/video games)
Sean Marquette (Ultimate Spider-Man)
James Arnold Taylor (Spider-Man: Battle for New York, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe)
Quinton Flynn (Marvel: Ultimate Alliance)
Benjamin Diskin (Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2)
Mike Vaughn (Spider-Man: Web of Shadows)

Take your pick. :P

Got more information thanks to Joystiq and Gamma Soldier.

* Each dimension is split into 3 Acts with levels inside.

* Each dimension has 3 bosses, one main boss and 2 sub-bosses. You will run into the main boss many times throughout the dimension before finally facing them at the end of the 3rd Act.

* Sometimes you will leave New York to go different places to chase your main boss, such as Spider-Man going to a jungle to face Kraven.

* Kraven the Hunter is confirmed to be Amazing Spider-Man's main boss. This means that Hammerhead is likely to be Spider-Man Noir's main boss.

* The Punch-Out!! sequences will have special dialogue.

* The trenchcoat that Spider-Man Noir wears in the comics wasn't possible to add to the game.

* Christopher Daniel Barnes will voice Spider-Man Noir and he has already recorded his lines.

* The game will release on PS3, 360, Wii, and DS. The Wii version will feature the exact same features from PS3 and 360. Beenox will develop all three console versions.

* Griptonite will develop the game for DS, they recently developed Spider-Man: Web of Shadows for DS (which actually got better reviews than any console version / PSP) version).

* The whole cast of SM:SD will feature well-known actors but the main four Spider-Men will be of people who voiced Spider-Man in the past.

* More information will be released at E3 and San Diego Comic-Con this summer.

Wasn't Spider-man Unlimited inspired by Spider-man 2099? If Spiderman 2099 is indeed in the game, Rino Romano would be the logical choice.

YES!!! this game will be the best game EVER! each dimension will have a good amount of length, multiple Spidey's, great voice acting, different playstyles, various graphics, Dan Slott as writer and all well known Spider-man voice actors returning. The only way this game will fail is if it's glitchy, but Beenox is not known for that.

I don't know if I'd say best ever... but maybe a DECENT Spider-Man game for once, at least to me.

I'm starting to take back hating this game so much... I still would rather see an X-Men Legends 3 but eh, if this game's good then fine. I don't want to see Wolverine again for a while anyway.

[Ryuuie]

All of this done in under a year and a half development time. Yep. Best game EVER.

That's nothing new from Activision. It's what they do.

They can't keep secrets, they don't develop for LONG amounts of time, they want to push out games out the door (Guitar Hero and CoD included) and hope they work.

Sometimes, they get gems (Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, Spider-Man 2) and sometimes (usually) they flop.

Are you truly surprised at this? =/

[Spider-Vader]

The game should be decent atleast.

I wish they'd release Spidey 2 on XBLA & PSN, I'd buy it.

[ProjectPat2280]

[Ryuuie]

Wow. Really didnt see Activision doing that. Figured they'd hire one guy and tell him to do 4 different versions of the character.

It's like I said on Hero HQ, Activision is trying to one-up Batman: Arkham Asylum.

They've hired a "star-studded cast" for the whole game, not just the Spider-Men.

Edios and Rocksteady hired 3 of B:TAS's cast.

[Venom 1988]

Awesome confirmation on the 4 voice actors, its funny just days I said this..

This idea is out there but what if all 4 spidey's were voiced by past Spidey VAs?
Specifically speaking of Josh Keaton, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Neil Patrick Harris
and Rino Romano?


:hyper:

[socool]

oh my god...shoot me now. I think Amazing Spider-man is voiced by Mike...agh!!

I still don't know what to think of the FPS moments. Agh

[Spidey_62]

That impressions article was a little discouraging, honestly.

[Ryuuie]

That impressions article was a little discouraging, honestly.

That was an older build of the game. They're still working on polishing it up right now along with marketing it out.

My guess is that all the "new" images we're seeing now were back from 2009 while they were still working on the major things.

This is why we always see images from Activision games that are progressively better than the last. It's not that they're currently building it as we speak, it's that it's usually from an old build while they "perfect" the new one.

So we find out new info tommorow?

We should find out a lot of new info tomorrow since a Beenox rep, Activision rep, and Christopher Daniel Barnes themselves will be at the Wondercon panel tomorrow.

Hah, that might be asking a lot. Im sure some idiot will ask something along the lines of "So i understand we can control 4 different Spider-Men, but what about other characters, can i control Black Cat or Wolverine?" to which i hope the response is "No moron, now sit the f**k down".

[Ryuuie]

Haha, I hope CDB says that.

If I had money right now, I would bet that question would be among the first asked... then promptly followed by "Is it free-roaming?" or "Is it multiplayer?" or "When is Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 DLC coming back?!"

[Jick09]

I'd ask how big are the levels, since it is not free-roam, and how does the web-swing system works there.

[Sam Fisher]

Yes

That is, if the audience doesn't ask any stupid questions or things we've already heard by now.You can count on it:p

[LightningFlash]

* Each dimension is split into 3 Acts with levels inside.

That's nice to know...at least we won't have one villain per Spidey. Which is what I was worried about since the first previews very much sounded like one dimension would only get one villain. Or, at least it sounded like that to me.

* Kraven the Hunter is confirmed to be Amazing Spider-Man's main boss. This means that Hammerhead is likely to be Spider-Man Noir's main boss.

Wow...of all the villains they could choose, Kraven is the MAIN boss for Amazing Spider-Man?

That's pretty lame.

* The Punch-Out!! sequences will have special dialogue.

Someone help me out...what's this speaking of?

[Nathan]

Kraven as the Main boss.... major letdown. If he's already the main boss, who will the sub-bosses be? Beetle and Stiltman?

[Sam Fisher]

Someone help me out...what's this speaking of?The first person shots we saw in the trailer.

[Nathan]

The first person stuff is gonna be interesting. I wonder if it'll be quicktime events, God of War 3 style, or if we really have control of everything.

[Ajendo]

A new Newsrama (http://www.newsarama.com/games/Spider-Man-Video-Game-Preview-100402.html) article. Saw it posted on Hero HQ. The two more interesting bits.

Sandbox style Spider-Man is definitely out.



And all 4 Spideys get different voice actors. All who have voiced Spidey before.

When I'm right I'm right.:o

[Ajendo]

Also, if Barnes is voicing Noir then I'm certain NPH is voicing Amazing spider-man as indicated by the trailer.

[Oscorp]

I'm not sure of what to think about Kraven being the main villain in the Amazing universe. It my be a really good move, to give him some more spotlight (as he's very underrated imo). But at the same time I wished for Doc Ock or Green Goblin.

[Spider-ManHero12]

That was an older build of the game. They're still working on polishing it up right now along with marketing it out.

My guess is that all the "new" images we're seeing now were back from 2009 while they were still working on the major things.

This is why we always see images from Activision games that are progressively better than the last. It's not that they're currently building it as we speak, it's that it's usually from an old build while they "perfect" the new one. True.

[Tron Bonne]

I don't understand the disappointment for Kraven. He's a great villain when done well. Yeah, I guess he's not the fanboy-approved choices of Goblin or Doc Ock, but we always sees those guys as the big bad in stuff; maybe it's time they tried something a little on the different side

[Nathan]

Yeah, he can be a good villain if written right. But still, as the main villain in a game that is centered around saving multiple dimensions? Also, if he's the main villain, which villains are gonna be the sub-bosses? There'd be tons of b**ching if you'd make someone like Goblin only a sub-boss. Which means he probably won't be in the game.

[Gamma Goliath]

Yeah, I'm expecting, shocker, rhino, or scorpion, or maybe lizard as a sub villain for the amazing universe.
I haven't read any spiderman noir, so I couldn't say who the sub villians would be there.
I haven't read spiderman 2099, the only villain I've seen from that comic, is venom 2099.

[Nathan]

Heh, this is pretty funny. Found it while searching for 2099 pictures.

Exchange 2211 Spider-Man for Noir Spider-Man and we have our Shattered Dimension cast.

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/7076/spidermanonehalf.th.jpg (http://img265.imageshack.us/i/spidermanonehalf.jpg/)

[SuperFerret]

Kraven's the main villain for the Amazing portion of the game, I'm sure that the dimensional stuff is tied to bigger villain that fits with all the cosmic stuff. Maybe Firelord, back for revenge.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I hope someone records the panel today. :up:

[socool]

oh you don't have to worry about that. Panels always get leaked on the interent. ALWAYS!

as for the joystiq interview, I'm not worried.
1) It's probably an early build
2) The game still has 5 months before release
3) They are the only website to look down on it.

[Nathan]

A new preview (http://www.buzzfocus.com/2010/04/03/game-preview-spider-man-shattered-dimensions/). And again I'll highlight the two more interesting parts.

However, skills such as your spider sense will vary by universe, allowing you to slow down time, see villains through walls or see better in the dark.

That's so totally Spider-Man 2099.

The game is expected to have 13 villains in total, broken down across three acts.

So, 3 villains each, which puts us at 12 villains and probably one major baddy that all Spideys probably have to face.

There's plenty of choices really: Lizard, Shocker, Sandman, Electro, Vulture, etc. I honestly won't be all that troubled if they leave the entire Goblin cast out of this one. I'm kind of tired of them, and having them asked for all the damn time despite Spidey's robust rouge gallery

You shouldn't be tired of Norman Osborn/ Green Goblin, you should be tired of the symbiotes/Venom. I dont know if there is a Spider-Man game out that features Norman Osborn as the premiere villain the way he should be, and no that power ranger Goblin from the movie game does not count, nor does the literal Goblin from USM count. I want to see classic Green Goblin be the premiere evil in a Spider-Man game. Norman Osborn is Spider-Man's number one enemy. Period. He deserves to get the spotlight. Hopefully he'll show up in this game.

[Oscorp]

And yet 616 Green Goblin is never used...

However, I agree that if Green Goblin ain't the main villain in the Amazing dimension, he shouldn't be there at all.

I'm thinking Sandman may be a minor boss in the Noir universe.

Anyway, what I don't like in that recent preview is having Symbiote Spider-Man...again. It's used again and again and again and again and again and again.......seriously, Spider-Man is not always about that alien :(

[Nathan]

Yeah, you can't really be sick of Green Goblin, since he got barely decently featured in a Spider-Man game for the last decade. You got him in the Movie game, then as some kid of sub-boss in USM, where he was just a raging beast, as a playable character in Friend or Foe, which simply doesn't count. And he was in MUA2, first as a brainless drone and then playable character. Point is, we didn't have the true Green Goblin in any main villain capacity, except for the first Movie game. Yet how often was Venom a villain in a Spider-Man game?

[Tron Bonne]

I am tired of the symbiotes and Venom, too. Honestly, I would have traded the Symbiote Spidey for damn near any other version or Spider-Girl or something else. Tired of those, tired of the Goblins, and tired of them always popping up in everyone's damn want list when there's plenty of other great rogues to use. I, for one, will not weep that the fanboy-approval was not stamped when Kaven is a fine villain in his own right, and may give some spotlight to someone is isn't in a Goblin suit or symbiote-infected

I wasn't talking about just the games, but more in general. Movies and comics, specifically. That, and I just get tired of people always clamoring for the Goblin stuff for, like, everything. Probably seems from the fact that I'm not the hugest Goblin fan, anyway. I like them, and all, but I can live without him being the big Spidey villain for everything. Just like I can live without the Joker being the Batman villain all the time

[Jick09]

So, 3 villains each, which puts us at 12 villains and probably one major baddy that all Spideys probably have to face.
Then I guess there the four Spidey won't share too much time together.
Which is a shame, I'm really looking forward to their meeting and interaction with each other.

[Gamma Goliath]

I'm beginning to think venom will show up in this game as well.

I admit, in comics, I'm getting sick of him too. I wished he'd stay dead, because with his return they ****ed too many things up. And he's the mastermind behind practically anything that went wrong with Peter's life.

But despite that, I'd still like to see at least one proper inclusion of him in the games. Also, I'd like to see someone else beside Shocker, Rhino, Vulture, Lizard, Mysterio and Scorpion as bosses.

I think what would've been cool, is if Black Tarantula were in the game. He seemed like a pretty good villain in the comics. I'd just like to see someone that was never in a game. If they are already introducing different Spider-man worlds that have never been in a game before, they could do the same for villains.

[Jick09]

I'm beginning to think venom will show up in this game as well.
Ain't he the main Spidey 2099 villain?
I think there's chances.

I also liked Black Tarantula in the comics. I think he'd fit the Noir universe well.

What's your HeroHQ name?

[Nathan]

It's Jingoku.

Gotcha. Didn't want to add your name twice like I did pacmaster's. :P

[The Bruce]

I've read that each dimension will have one villain you'll meet in 3 forms as the bad guy gets more and more influenced by the magical stone thing.

Which means one bad guy per Spidey.

[LightningFlash]

I don't understand the disappointment for Kraven. He's a great villain when done well. Yeah, I guess he's not the fanboy-approved choices of Goblin or Doc Ock, but we always sees those guys as the big bad in stuff; maybe it's time they tried something a little on the different side

We always see those? Are you high?

We've never seen a true comic Green Goblin, except for a UM game(and that God-awful USM game), and we've only see a good Doc Ock back in the PS1/N64 game(not counting Spider-Man 2, as I have stated, I am talking about the true version).

We always get the symbiotes. Why I wish Symbiote Spidey isn't one of the four. As much as I like Venom, WoS has made me very tired of symbiotes now(big-ass four-headed Venom was jumping the shark just a tad).

And Kraven being a "main" villain, just really doesn't make sense, imo. It might make sense because the "Tablet of Chaos and Order", and magical powers and what not, but still, I wanted Green Goblin. We need a good Spider-Man v Green Goblin game as much as we needed a Batman v Joker game.

So, 3 villains each, which puts us at 12 villains and probably one major baddy that all Spideys probably have to face.

I don't think so. The new review over at ComingSoon talked about the three acts, but the same villains get powerful on every level. Unless the acts are hugely extensive where we take on mini-bosses and also the main boss on every act. If so, then...holy crap that game will be long.

[Ryuuie]

I've read that each dimension will have one villain you'll meet in 3 forms as the bad guy gets more and more influenced by the magical stone thing.

Which means one bad guy per Spidey.

No, you get 3 bosses per dimension. 2 sub-bosses, 1 main boss.

The main boss is fought at least three times so you have 3 bosses per Spider-Dimension (there are way too many ways to use "Spider-" as a prefix for this game...), and you fight the main boss 3 times each for a total of six boss fights.

The full game may have at least 13 bosses. 4 dimensions, 3 bosses each, 1 main boss.

3 x 4 + 1 = 13

[Mario_Galaxy]

Gotta agree about Goblin. For a guy who's heralded as Spidey's arch enemy, he's not that prominent :confused:

[Jick09]

What I interpreted from the articles is that there will be three bosses in each universe.

One sub-boss in the first level, one sub-boss in the second and the main boss in the third, which will also appear in the first two levels, but you won't actually face them.

[Ryuuie]

The new review over at ComingSoon talked about the three acts, but the same villains get powerful on every level. Unless the acts are hugely extensive where we take on mini-bosses and also the main boss on every act. If so, then...holy crap that game will be long.

Yes, there will be 3 different bosses but the third boss is the main boss of that dimension.

There will also be a main main boss (?)..

Pretty much it's:

1 Dimension
3 Bosses.
1 of the 3 bosses will be the main dimension boss.
There is a possible 13th boss that is the FINAL boss of all dimensions.

[LightningFlash]

Confusing as **** if you ask me.

*listens to Army of the Pharaoh's "Bloody Tears" to help with my anger over this situation*

Okay...so what's going on with this game?

13 bosses...3 villains every act for each dimension....the main villain on every act, so two mini-bosses....

This game will be long.

So who thinks will be the MAIN boss at the very end?

Mephisto?

Haha, get it? My BND/OMD reference...

[webhead731]

I want to be excited about this, but there just not giving me anything to be excited about.

I was perfectly content with the free roaming games. Just because some fans started to whine about them doesn't mean we need a whole new style. :o

Hope the game is really good anyway.

[Jick09]

So who thinks will be the MAIN boss at the very end?

Mephisto?

Haha, get it? My BND/OMD reference...
Perhaps it's a "new" villain, too, like they did with WoS.
Didn't they talk about a new villain for this game?

[Ryuuie]

Perhaps it's a "new" villain, too, like they did with WoS.
Didn't they talk about a new villain for this game?

They mentioned two villains that would be exclusively mentioned at Wondercon today.

[Ajendo]

This game will be long.

Which is a shame in the sense that it would be better if it was purely bases on the 616 universe.

So who thinks will be the MAIN boss at the very end?

Mephisto?

Haha, get it? My BND/OMD reference...

They'd better not.

[socool]

After reading some of Slott's writing, I wouldn't be surprised if Noir's main villain is Ock, 2099's is Venom and the big overall enemy is Goblin. Slott has a thing for classic characters.

[Ryuuie]

After reading some of Slott's writing, I wouldn't be surprised if Noir's main villain is Ock, 2099's is Venom and the big overall enemy is Goblin. Slott has a thing for classic characters.

Most likely, Noir's main villain will be Hammerhead since Amazing's main villain is Kraven and both have been revealed.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I think the panel start about 3 minutes ago, so let's be on the look out in about an hour or so for any links to watch it.

[Mario_Galaxy]

I'll pray the main baddie is Mysterio ****ing with Spidey's brain

Which is a very, very long shot

[Ryuuie]

I'll pray the main baddie is Mysterio ****ing with Spidey's brain

Which is a very, very long shot

Mysterio was used in Spider-Man: Friend or Foe who was taking over the world.

Plus...it'd be a pretty cheap ending to a lot of people. Mysterio has no true powers (they most likely wouldn't be using Francis Klum) so it'd be too easy to beat him.

[Mario_Galaxy]

But, but it's Mysterio! :( :mad:

[Ryuuie]

But, but it's Mysterio! :( :mad:

He's also a guy wearing a fishbowl. :mad:

Also, new information from http://www.comingsoon.net/news/wonderconnews.php?id=64782

Essentially, the game will begin with an opening cut scene that acts as a framing sequence for the overall storyline in which an ancient artifact called the Tablet of Order and Chaos is broken into many pieces that are scattered throughout the four different universes, falling into the hands of that dimension's villain. This event ties together the respective Spider-Man of each universe who are then called upon to work together (but separate) in order to retrieve the piece of the artifact from a location in their dimension.

Besides the unique premise of being able to play four very different versions of Spider-Man, the game will get away from the open world design of "Web of Shadows," which involved a lot of "travel time" to get from one mission to the next. Instead, "Dimensions" is more of a level-based game where each of the four dimensions will have its own main boss who you'll encounter three times in different incarnations as the story progresses. We were told that they're working hard to build upon the relationship Spider-Man has with each villain in the comics. More on that below.

After the introduction, you'll have a chance to play the first level of one of the four dimensions, and once you've finished that, you can move onto one of the first levels of another dimension. Essentially, you'll be alternating through the four dimensions in whichever order you'd like and once you finish all four, you'll get another cut scene setting up the second leg of the storyline, and you'll move to level 2 of each dimension.

[spideyboy_1111]

I really doubt Activision hired NPH to do voice work for this game. I dont care how well you think you know the voices, im sure thats not NPH. If it is, and Activision has 4 different voices for each Spider-Man, then ill be the first to admit i was wrong, but i really, really have a hard time believing Activison is putting that much effort into this title.

i agree... and no way they got NPH for this... we would have also heard about that by now.

[Nathan]

No idea if they got NPH, but Activision actually bothered and got 4 people for the game who all voiced Spider-Man before. Who the other 3 voice actors are remains to be revealed.

[ProjectPat2280]

i agree... and no way they got NPH for this... we would have also heard about that by now.


Well, Activision has surprised me once, with the announcement that there will be 4 different people voicing Spider-Man, now if NPH is one of those, i dont know.

I dont care who voices the character, as long as they dont suck.

[Nathan]

Most voice actors in recent years ranged from ok, to fantastic. As long as they don't get Mike Vaughn or Tobey Maguire, everything will be fine.

[ProjectPat2280]

Dont know if anyone has mentioned this, but Activision confirmed that Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions will not use Natal or the Playstation Move in any way:

April 2, 2010 - PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners won't need to worry about stretching before playing Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. Activision confirmed the game will not support either the PlayStation Move controller or Microsoft's Project Natal motion camera, both due out this fall.

Activision explained that while developer Beenox Studios explored the possibly of adding motion support to both versions, the team ultimately decided it was simply too late in the development cycle to add them effectively.

The publisher did say, however, that both Project Natal and PlayStation Move may be considered for future Spider-Man games. Activision noted the Wii version will utilize the Wii motion controller but did not give examples of how it will be worked into the game.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is currently set for release this September.

[Pac-Master]

Well, the panel is over. Hopefully we get some news out of it.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Indeed. HOpefully, the panel itself.

[spideyboy_1111]

hmmm the whole comment of "you will see the main boss of each demension 3 times in different incarnations" sorta confuses me, considering that sounds like some sort of shape shifter or virus type of thing...

but as for 3 villains per each demension i do wonder who will be seen in each...

Amazing:
-Kraven
-electro??
-dr. octopus??
-mysterio??
-lizard??

Noir:
-hammer head
-vulture?
-goblin?
-sandman?
-chameleon?
-enforcers?

2099:
-venom??
-goblin??
-vulture??
-thanatos??
-tyler stone??
-doom 2099??

symbiote??:
-venom??
-carnage??
-phage??
-anti-venom??
-toxin??
-scream??

overall main boss:
-beyonder?
-green goblin?
-ock?
-doom?
-thanos?
-some other cosmic/dimensional being?

Each main boss will fight you 3 times in each dimension. During each fight, they will be a stronger version of themselves due to the piece of the tablet fragment.

[Nathan]

I'm pretty sure it means, everytime you encountered the main boss, he'll be more powered up than before. Kraven might get all bestial. Hammerhead appears to be brimming with energy, which you see seeping out through the cracks in his face as Spider-Man beats him to a pulp.

[Orb]

I think it means you see the 4 alternate forms of the main bosses, one in each dimension Not 3 villains per dimension.

Like Noir Hammerhead
Amazing Hammerhead
??? Hammerhead
???-Hammerhead
etc.

[spideyboy_1111]

Each main boss will fight you 3 times in each dimension. During each fight, they will be a stronger version of themselves due to the piece of the tablet fragment.

well the info did say "different incarnations" so it was a bit confusing...

and we've heard 3 incarnations, and i've heard 1 main boss and 2 minor bosses per level... same person? or different villain?

it'd really suck to only have 4 villains... just different versions of them

[Ryuuie]

I think it means you see the 4 alternate forms of the main bosses, one in each dimension Not 3 villains per dimension.

Like Noir Hammerhead
Amazing Hammerhead
??? Hammerhead
???-Hammerhead
etc.

No, it really DOES mean 3 bosses per dimension but you just fight one boss 3 times while the rest you only fight once.

What this setup boils down to is four game worlds in which Spider-Man draws on powers and abilities that are trademarks of the comics they're based on (two have been revealed so far: Amazing Spider-Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Spider-Man_%28comic_book%29) and Spider-Man Noir (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=user_review&id=587)), and each dimension is broken up into three acts. There's one main boss per dimension and two "sub-bosses," also from the comic's rogues gallery.
http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/02/impressions-spider-man-shattered-dimensions/

Also, there's this:

We were also told that the Nintendo DS version of the game will have a similar four-dimension philosophy but include different villains for Spider-Man to fight.
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/wonderconnews.php?id=64782

[Nathan]

Heh... it actually happened. On Hero HQ they are now forbidding people from even talking about the leaks. As if that would make it go away, especially since people have been talking about for days already.

[Ryuuie]

Heh... it actually happened. On Hero HQ they are now forbidding people from even talking about the leaks. As if that would make it go away, especially since people have been talking about for days already.

Honestly, it's better than what Eidos was doing. They weren't just moderating posts, whole threads would be deleted if you so much as mentioned the Scarecrow leak from GameStop... even if the thread had nothing to do with the leak in the first place (usually, it pulled people to start posting images or start a discussion about it in the thread).

To me, Activision is handling it a bit better instead of removing entire threads.

If anyone's to blame it should definitely be GameStop. They were the source of the B:AA and SM:SD leaks, claiming it was an "accident". It was no accident. In both situations, there was a site ready to release the information BEFORE GameStop could and GS clearly wanted the fame and website traffic first so they could assure some preorders.

GameSpot was set to reveal the Scarecrow maps first before anyone, GameStop put a stop to that by releasing images of the front and back of the PS3 and 360 box art...the final versions of them. This gave away the secret that GameSpot had been counting down on for about 2 weeks.

SpiderManDimensions.com (Activision and Marvel's own website for the game) was set to mention Cosmic Spider-Man / Captain Universe first, but again, GameStop put it up before the website was even completed AND included images they were required to keep hidden until Activision gave the go ahead to post. This insured that at LEAST a few people would go and preorder immediately since there are impulsive buyers out there, which is what GS was clearly counting on.

Activison forced GS to remove the images just as Eidos forced GS to remove their images.

I'm surprised anyone still does business with them, but I guess it hasn't happened enough yet for publishers to realize what everyone else already knows...GameStop is a ****** place to buy, trade, sell, and preorder games... oh and keep secrets for you. :P

Each main boss will fight you 3 times in each dimension. During each fight, they will be a stronger version of themselves due to the piece of the tablet fragment.
They didn't say will actually fight them, did they?
I've only read that we will meet them in all of the three levels and physicaly fight in the last one.

It sounds like we'll be fighting them, but where'd you hear that at?

[Ryuuie]

New info!

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.

In all of the previews that talk about Spidey meeting the villain three times.

Good to know about the levels. It's something I was wondering.
I wonder now how the web-swing system is going to work.

Yea, but the villain will be stronger each time. I do recall one saying that they'll be stronger than their previous appearances in the dimension.

[The Joker]

Weren't they supposed to be releasing a bunch of new info today? Did we actually find out anything noteworthy yet?

[Spider-ManHero12]

New info!




http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=25547 So, this means we'll still be able to web-swing for as lnog as we want in a wide open area?

[Drz]

The more i hear about this the more optimistic i get. Let's hope they truly deliver. :up:

[Ryuuie]

We found out some things but just tiny bits of info.

The panel DID happen (Dan Slott's posting on his Twitter right now about lunch with CDB and Activision after the panel) but no one has posted information yet. I'll check some other forums and see what I can find.

ComicBookResources.com will have an article on the panel soon though if you want to wait for an actual article.

[Spider-Vader]

I wonder how long they've been developing it, if it's been over 2 years then there's a good chance this game will be fantastic. If it was shortly after WOS ended production, then it'll be playable but not superb.

[Ryuuie]

So, this means we'll still be able to web-swing for as lnog as we want in a wide open area?

Possibly, yea. It's sounding like it. It just won't be like SM3 or WOS wide open...just probably Metroid Prime level wide or something.

Thank you :up:

I hope they spilled who the villains will be.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Dan Slott just posted on his twitter that he's having lunch with Chris Barnes. :up:

[Spider-ManHero12]

Possibly, yea. It's sounding like it. It just won't be like SM3 or WOS wide open...just probably Metroid Prime level wide or something. Well, as long it's fluid and staisfyingly wide open, then that's cool, I guess. I hoep they don't mean "big enough" like S-M (2002) game.

[Ryuuie]

Thank you :up:

No prob. :D

They said they'd at least mention two of them exclusive to the panel-goers.

Well, as long it's fluid and staisfyingly wide open, then that's cool, I guess. I hoep they don't mean "big enough" like S-M (2002) game.

Yea..but I still do like SM1 the movie... even if it wasn't very wide open. In fact, I may play it again tonight.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yea..but I still do like SM1 the movie... even if it wasn't very wide open. In fact, I may play it again tonight. S do I! The game is still awesome. I'm just saying that i hope it can still be called somewhat free roam.

ALso ,anybody find the panel video or any panel info?

[Ryuuie]

I missed this one post, I'm sorry.

They've likely been developing it ever since WOS ended. M:UA 2 started development a few months after M:UA 2 was finished... maybe this could be ok.

So far, Joystiq is the only site to give a slightly negative review (and mainly that was graphical and the whole "Spidey swings from the sky" argument rather than actual gameplay that I can recall).

I'm still looking for some new info on panel stuff, btw.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=archive&type=kw&key=wondercon2010 Keep an eye on this page as CBR is posting new articles from WC 2010 here.

Guys, be aware of Youtube. I just checked, and it seems as though more and more videos are being uploaded from today.

I looked though GameFAQs.. :(

I think that's all I have to say is "I looked through GameFAQs". :dry:

No useful information but a lot of useless whining over mediocre things like swinging from the sky (something the rest of the internet got over with after WOS.. :P) and the fact SM:SD has a DS version but no "OH SO GODLY" PSP version.

Again, I make the :dry: face and continue on to YouTube.

Great find!

[LightningFlash]

Haha, nothing new. Sweet.

Until I find out that we're getting a good villain, I will still have low expectations.

Great find! I haven't been to the Game faqs website in a while.
ALso, thanks! :yay:

[Ryuuie]

In addition to the first-person combat, Morgan hinted that there will be some other mysterious “first-person experiences that involve webs.”http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=25547

Tidbit of info again!

[Ajendo]

i agree... and no way they got NPH for this... we would have also heard about that by now.

:whatever: This coming from the same person that said Activision wouldn't bother getting different VOs for spidey. PleaseI brought up the multiple voice actors simply because I noticed a very distinct change in voice in the trailer from Barnes to NPH and now, it's been confirmed that we are indeed getting 4 VAs. I know voices and NPH IS in this game.
Honestly, of the past spidey VAs who are they gonna use? Also, think about them casting Barnes who hasn't voiced spidey since '98. It's easy to deduce that NPH is a likely contender, especially given his popularity and oh wait, you can clearly hear his voice in the trailer.

[The Bruce]

Wait am I reading the info right? Will 616 Spidey ONLY face Kraven through the entire game?

That's a little meh to me :csad:

[Nathan]

No, no. Each Dimension will have 3 chapters/levels. Each level will feature a different boss. Yet you will face the main villain 2 times, before facing him for a final and 3rd time in the last chapter.

So, how I think this will play out, each Dimension will give you 5 boss fights. 1 boss fight against each sub boss, and 3 fights with the main boss.

[The Bruce]

thanks :yay: Cool this game is sounding really really good. I think they can pull it off this time!

No, i was the one that said Activison wouldnt get 4 different people to voice Spider-Man. You just got lucky thinking they would. You clearly dont understand how Activision operates or you wouldnt of thought any other way. Having Activision add any kind of fan service in their licensed titles is extremely rare. Activision likes to use the names of their licenses as their selling point, rarely do they go the extra step the way Eidos/Rocksteady did with Arkham Asylum.

As i said when the announcement was made, having 4 different people voice each Spidey was an odd move given Activisions history.

[Venomfan]

No, i was the one that said Activison wouldnt get 4 different people to voice Spider-Man. .
you both said it, him on a previous page. he was arguing that amazing spider-man in the trailer was voiced by barnes and other people were saying Barnes is only voicing the noir spidey. doesn't really matter though

[ProjectPat2280]

Ah. I dont know what any of the voices sound like, so i cant say either way who is who. I just really didnt expect Activision to hire 4 different actors to voice Spidey and actors that have experience with the character at that.
