Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

[Nathan]

What Activision is doing, is definitely out of the ordinary. Getting 4 different voice actors who have all voiced Spidey before, getting a comic writer, actually giving us 4 different Spider-Men from the comics, having Beenox develop 4 distinct gameplay styles, even 4 distinct visual presentations as it looks to be the case. It actually looks as if they'd bother to give us a solid game.

Or they are simply tricking us into feeling save with 4 voice actors and Dan Slott.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

I am so looking forward to this game coming out! Regardless of the nay-sayers, critics, etc.- i still buy ALL the Spidey Games, and have enjoyed them all. I like how Activision has built on the web machanics, fliud motion of movement, and combos from Web Of Shadows. I most definitely love the new graphics (Boderlands/Prince Of Persia). So has it been confirmed for SURE that Cosmic Spider-Man is the thrid dimension? It was mentioned on the game's official website, siting that when you pre-order the game, you get the "code' for Cosmic Spider-Man. I really want Spider-Man 2099 personally- he's been deserving of some shine, and if you're going to do a game of this kind- he should be the FIRST choice.

No, Cosmic Spider-Man isn't one of the dimensions. You simply get Captain Universe as an alternate for all 4 different Spider-Men.

And you're lucky. Spider-Man 2099 is one of the Dimensions.

Here are the pre-order screens that were removed from Gamestop.

Carnage and some weird lessknown villain from 2099 universe.

YES! Miguel O'Hara's Spider-Man by far, was the most intriguing take of the character, and the difference in his orgin/powers/persona/supporting cast were much more appealing too. Talons from his fingers and toes that not only allowed him to cling to any surface, but they were also sharp enough to be used as a weapon. Fangs that released a nero-toxin and left his victims temporarily paralyzed. Not to mention organic webbing from his forearms, and hightened senses. He was also stronger than 616 Spidey, and IMO- the first darker version of Spider-Man. The only thing that separated the two were their villian rogue gallery. Spider-Man 2099 fought more against the powers-that-be in his world than super-villians, which i think ultimately killed the series.

[ProjectPat2280]

I was playing Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro a few days ago and a few things stood out that id like this game to incorporate. One is more costumes and the second is the ability to subdue a low level enemy with webbing. I think Enter Electro is the last game to actually treat Spider-Mans webbing the way its supposed to. In every other game, the enemies are able to break outta Spidey's webs within a second or two, thats lame.

There was some pretty good villains in the 2099 universe. As long as this game has 2099 as one of the dimensions I'll be happy.

Hope that means more than just the 4 Gamestop costumes. Id like at least 5 or 6, not counting Symbiote, Amazing, Noir and 2099. They don't necessarily have to be dimension specific but id like to see a good number of them.

[Jick09]

SM2 Enter Electro had an excellent ammount.
Earth X, Dusk, Prodigy, Negative Zone, Spider-Phoenix, Insulated Suit...
And each with specific attributes that had to do with the comics.

Yea and im not asking for that many. But a handful of different costumes would be nice.

[GamerSlyRatchet]

I'd be happy with a Bombastic Bag-Man or Spider-Ham skin.

[Nathan]

I'd like to see at least 2 costumes for each Spider-Man.

For Amazing I'd want Scarlet Spider and Ben Reilly Spider-Man.

For Noir I'd want the trenchcoat, but sadly Beenox can't pull it off, and the Noir take on the classic red & blue.

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/4022/spidermannoir.th.jpg (http://img338.imageshack.us/i/spidermannoir.jpg/)

For Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Man Unlimited would be a good choice, since they look similar. I can't really think of a second one. Maybe Dusk, because he can glide too, but he'd also fit for Spider-Man Noir, because of the stealth element.

For Symbiote Spider-Man, I'd go with Spider-Carnage and Earth-X Venom. Uh... Earth-X Venom without the boobs though.

[DACMAN]

Symbiote Spidey should be the movie symbiote costume way before the chick costume of Earth X.

Though I'm with you 100% on the 616 Spidey.

Nice choices man. Im with you 110% on all of em. Those are the ones id like to see as well. Deff the Ben Reilly suit, thats gotta be my fav alt.

[ProjectPat2280]

No. No movie costumes. Ever.

[Jick09]

I'd rather have the classic symbiote costume, if Symbiote Spidey is really one of the versions, which I hope it isn't.

[Soapy]

I haven't been following this game very closely. Actually, I haven't been following it at all. Anyone care to bring me up to speed?

[Pac-Master]

Here it is.... a rundown of the panel:

[Tron Bonne]

This game involves the multiverse and you're playing as four different versions of Spider-Man (regular 616 Spidey, Spidey 2099, Spidey Noir, and Symboite Spidey). It's not free-roam, but the levels are suppose to be kind of big, I think. Each Spidey has their own level and it's divided into three parts with their own villains and such. 'Bout all I got

[jerky123]

So, the confirmed universes are Amazing, Noir, 2099, but what is the last one?

[Tron Bonne]

All we really know is it involves a Symboite Spidey. Probably an alternate What If...? universe were Peter kept the symboite instead of getting rid of it.

[Sam Fisher]

What if it's the bad ending from Web of Shadows?

[Jick09]

All we really know is it involves a Symboite Spidey.
Does it?
Where did they mention it?

[Tron Bonne]

We know because of the leaked GameSpot stuff

[Venom 1988]

Does it?
Where did they mention it?

The leaked Gamestop pics, in this very thread

[Jick09]

You mean that pic with the Captain Universe costumes for each dimension?

Everything you need to know (minus a few articles I'm working on right now) is right here:

http://www.herohq.com/forums/viewthread/18649/

What if it's the bad ending from Web of Shadows?

They're all comic book dimensions.

Looks like we got our answer for the web weapons:

...Amazing Spider-Man, which draws from the classic 1960s comics...http://oneofswords.com/2010/04/spider-man-shattered-dimensions-at-wondercon/

More interesting stuff:

Thomas also revealed that the game will feature something called the Web of Destiny, a challenge system that encourages replay value and challenges gamers to “approach levels in different ways and unlock new abilities, movies, concept art, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and alternate suits” (but not, as Christopher joked, “Armani Spider-Man”).
The game will feature 13 villains, one for each level. The story is split into three acts; each of those acts will feature a level in each of the four dimensions. Part of the fun for the team has been working with recognizable foes in unrecognizable realms – for instance, you’d expect to see Kraven in Amazing, but maybe not Hammerhead in Noir. “It’s new, but it works,” promised Thomas. When asked if there would be one villain who would tie all four worlds together, Dan answered with a slow, ominous “Yes.” Hmm.
One astute audience member noticed that multiplatform games are often not created equal – say, the PS3 and 360 will have something that the Wii won’t. Thomas made sure to say all three console versions were being made by Beenox and all would offer the complete experience.

Also, the worlds seem to be designed for each Spider-Man so that actually LOWERS the chance for the speculated Symbiote Spider-Man to show up.

[LightningFlash]

I wish Scarlet Spider was one of the four.

[Jick09]

But the world is still the same for him, ain't it?
I'd rather have him as an unlockable costume for the Amazing universe.

[Spider-Vader]

Can someone post a link of this leaked Game Spot stuff?

[Jick09]

What is this stuff?
The Captain Universe pics?

[Ryuuie]

Yes, but the one that people claim to be Symbiote Spider-Man can't be him since he doesn't have a world to tailor anything to.

[The Geek Vault]

What if the 4th one is Spider-man india? or fairy tales?

[Jick09]

We still have to discover.

[spideyboy_1111]

unless they're doing some sort of elseworlds spider-man where he's on the planet of the symbiotes or something

[Ryuuie]

I doubt it. They seem to be pretty firm where he has to be canonical to Marvel's universes except for Hammerhead being in Noir.

So unless Spider-Man was actually ON the planet of the symbiotes, that most likely won't be happening.

To be honest, people don't really know who the fourth guy is. 2099 is there because of the spikes on his arms but the fourth one LOOKS like a symbiote, someone said "It has to be it!" and now people believe it is.

[Ryuuie]

If you're wondering how things will go concerning bosses and levels and whatever:

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
Kraven - Main boss
Boss 2
Boss 3

NOIR SPIDER-MAN
Hammerhead - Main boss
Boss 2
Boss 3

??? SPIDER-MAN
Boss 1 - Main boss
Boss 2
Boss 3

??? SPIDER-MAN
Boss 1 - Main boss
Boss 2
Boss 3

FINAL BOSS

Each Level contains 4 acts, one for each Spider-Man dimension.

Each act contains one boss. One boss in Amazing's Act 1, One boss in Amazing's Act 2... etc. Repeat this for the other 3 dimensions.

There are 3 levels in the ENTIRE game, 4 acts per level. This means 3 levels x 4 acts each = 12 acts. All 12 of these acts contains one unique boss so each act will be tailored differently depending on the boss.

This means there will be 12 bosses in the game.

After you beat all 12 bosses, you need to beat the final end boss who's probably responsible for this whole thing.

THEN the game is over and you do that whole Web of Destiny thing to do some replay and unlock things.

[Ryuuie]

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/wonderconnews.php?id=64782 confirms that at the end of each level, we will face our main boss in a fight.

So, it seems to be:

Level 1
Act 1:
Amazing - <Sub Boss1> + Kraven
Noir - <Sub Boss1> + Hammerhead
??? - <Sub Boss1> + Main Boss
??? - <Sub Boss1> + Main Boss

Level 2
Act 2:
Amazing - <Sub Boss2> + Kraven²
Noir - <Sub Boss2> + Hammerhead²
??? - <Sub Boss2> + Main Boss²
??? - <Sub Boss2> + Main Boss²

Level 3
Act 3:
Amazing - Kraven³
Noir - Hammerhead³
??? - Main Boss³
??? - Main Boss³

Final Boss

[Nathan]

To be honest, people don't really know who the fourth guy is. 2099 is there because of the spikes on his arms but the fourth one LOOKS like a symbiote, someone said "It has to be it!" and now people believe it is.

It really could be another version of Spider-Man, it doesn't have to be the Symbiote version. We can't really tell, because he doesn't have any distinct features like Spider-Man 2009 or Noir.

But we need to remember, the one thing that always shows part of the original costume, is the mouth. Amazing still shows the webbed mask, 2099 shows the 2 red lines from his standard mask design. Now the 3rd one, he's simply black. How many incarnations of Spider-Man do we know that wore a black costume? I can't think of many.

[Ajendo]

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.

Don't be silly. I clearly don't understand how activision operate? Um I do. Also, I'm not deaf. The trailer clearly had 2 voices voicing spider-man. Me being lucky had nothing to do with it. Regardless of how Activision usually operate, it was pretty clear to anyone who isn't hard of hearing that 2 distinct voices were heard, thus, making it likely or at least a possibilty that we'd have more than one voice actor for spidey. Also, spideyboy essentially said the same thing you said because he was determined to believe that, Chris Barnes was the only voice in that trailer and he was very much wrong about that.

[Tron Bonne]

I doubt it. They seem to be pretty firm where he has to be canonical to Marvel's universes except for Hammerhead being in Noir.

So unless Spider-Man was actually ON the planet of the symbiotes, that most likely won't be happening.

There's been several What If...? titles where Peter has kept the suit. That's basically what Noir and 2099 are, long and extended What If...? tales which all have their own Earth in the multiverse. Probably the most recent one was the What If...The Other? were Peter merges with the symbiote to become something called Poison.

To be honest, people don't really know who the fourth guy is. 2099 is there because of the spikes on his arms but the fourth one LOOKS like a symbiote, someone said "It has to be it!" and now people believe it is.Yeah, that's true, but really what else could it be. Pretty much every alternate black suited Spidey that I know of has been related to the symbiote. I would hope the theory's wrong, since I'm as tired of that as I assume everyone else is, but right now it seems like the closest bet based on aesthetics. I've yet to really hear any alternatives that involve a back suited Spidey

He gets it mate, you were right about the voice thing. No need to be so immature about it. I think what he is saying is that we dont really know anything apart from what we know right now, so anything you or anyone else says is just a guess.
And I do agree with him, it was quite the surprise there are 4 different voices. Usually we get one very bad one. And although the trailer does clearly shift to a higher pitched voice its only for like half a second so it was difficult for anyone to know for sure. So it was just a guess on your part. A good guess sure, but still a guess.

[MACH]

Although it is a lot more likely that the 4th Spider-Man is Spidey in the Black Suit, part of me still hopes for Ben Reilly, as Spidey or the Scarlet Spider. I really dont mind either.

One thing I am slightly worried(well not worried, more concerned...hmm thats not right either)about is that this 3 bosses per world thing is just going to be 3 versions of the same boss. I have yet to see anywhere yet that actually confirms we are getting 12 bosses, I only seem to be find that there is 3 boss fights and that the main boss for each world fights you 3 different times, getting stronger(thanks to the tablet) with each encounter.

Its not that I would be totally against this(though I do feel like atleast 6-8 completely different bosses isnt much to ask for)but I dont want to get my hopes up for 12 when if history with these games has taught us anything its that usually what ever we hope for is cut in half or doesnt happen at all. And therefore its probably just 4 bosses that you face 3 times each.

I dont know, I mean we are getting 4 different Spideys....this is a total surprise...so maybe 12 bosses...still seems unlikely though.

Yea, im worried there is only going to be 5 different bosses total, the 4 for each dimension, then the final uber boss, but you face off against those other bosses, 3 times before defeating them. Id hope thats not the case and from what ppl are saying it doesnt seem like it, but then again, this is Activision and saying 'we are giving you 13' boss battles' could easily mean 'hey we are giving you 13 boss battles, but you have to face the same boss over and over'.

[Ryuuie]

Nathan, Tron Bonne: I don't think it's the Symbiote, I SERIOUSLY hope it's not. But, to me, it doesn't look like it. Plus, ever since Wondercon 2010's confirmation of each world being specifically made for the Spider-Man of that dimension, I doubt it is. Symbiote Spidey's stronger than normal Spider-Man, has organic webbing (but so does Noir and 2099) and (in recent comics, not the originals) he's a ball of anger. That's about it... how do you make a dimension around that?

MACH, ProjectPat2280: Ok, I'm gonna explain this again about the bosses/levels/acts but I'll post each source.

Level 1
Act 1:
Amazing - <Sub Boss1> + Kraven
Noir - <Sub Boss1> + Hammerhead
??? - <Sub Boss1> + Main Boss
??? - <Sub Boss1> + Main Boss

Level 2
Act 2:
Amazing - <Sub Boss2> + Kraven²
Noir - <Sub Boss2> + Hammerhead²
??? - <Sub Boss2> + Main Boss²
??? - <Sub Boss2> + Main Boss²

Level 3
Act 3:
Amazing - Kraven³
Noir - Hammerhead³
??? - Main Boss³
??? - Main Boss³

Final Boss

Ok, so there are 3 Levels. After the cinematic, you start Level 1. You can start ANY dimension that you want. After you finish Level 1 by completing all four Acts, you move to Level 2.
Source: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/wonderconnews.php?id=64782

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.

There will be 13 different bosses in this game. However, you will fight four bosses three times. These three bosses are the main bosses for the dimension.
Source: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/wonderconnews.php?id=64782

We were told that each of the three levels for each dimension ends with Spider-Man facing that dimension's boss, but each time he fights them, they'll be in a different form, having been transformed by their possession of the tablet fragment.

Now, I know it gets tricky there and does NOT confirm 13 bosses, but this next bit of information is directly from Wondercon.
Source: http://oneofswords.com/2010/04/spider-man-shattered-dimensions-at-wondercon/

Villains
The game will feature 13 villains, one for each level. The story is split into three acts; each of those acts will feature a level in each of the four dimensions.

Here's another place that mentions 13 bosses before the WC panel.
Source: http://www.buzzfocus.com/2010/04/03/game-preview-spider-man-shattered-dimensions/

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

There will be 3 villains per dimension, one main boss, two sub bosses.
Source: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/02/impressions-spider-man-shattered-dimensions/

There's one main boss per dimension and two "sub-bosses," also from the comic's rogues gallery.

If you did only fight the main boss 3 times, that would only be once per dimension. That would look like:

Level 1
Act 1:
Amazing - Kraven
Noir - Hammerhead
??? - Main Boss
??? - Main Boss

Level 2
Act 2:
Amazing - Kraven²
Noir - Hammerhead²
??? - Main Boss²
??? - Main Boss²

Level 3
Act 3:
Amazing - Kraven³
Noir - Hammerhead³
??? - Main Boss³
??? - Main Boss³

Final Boss

It would equal to 3 bosses and 1 final boss = 4. But you'd fight the main boss a total of 3 times. 3 bosses x 3 fights = 9 + 1 final boss = 10. That wouldn't add up to the 13 different bosses.

I really hope this helped. XD I can't explain it anymore until I get home today cause I got a busy day and I actually need to start getting ready for class now. lol

This game involves the multiverse and you're playing as four different versions of Spider-Man (regular 616 Spidey, Spidey 2099, Spidey Noir, and Symboite Spidey). It's not free-roam, but the levels are suppose to be kind of big, I think. Each Spidey has their own level and it's divided into three parts with their own villains and such. 'Bout all I got

Thanks much. It sounds pretty cool. :up:

[Nathan]

Nathan, Tron Bonne: I don't think it's the Symbiote, I SERIOUSLY hope it's not. But, to me, it doesn't look like it. Plus, ever since Wondercon 2010's confirmation of each world being specifically made for the Spider-Man of that dimension, I doubt it is. Symbiote Spidey's stronger than normal Spider-Man, has organic webbing (but so does Noir and 2099) and (in recent comics, not the originals) he's a ball of anger. That's about it... how do you make a dimension around that?


I don't really want symbiote Spider-Man, but who else could it logically be? How many other black Spider-Mans do you know, that weren't connected to the symbiote?

And he's got more than just unlimited webbing and more strength or anger issues. Web of Shadows showed just how much different the gameplay can be with the symbiote. So it's not that difficult to make a Dimension around it. As for the levels, it could either be a darker take on the Amazing Dimension or be overrun with symbiotes.

Personally I really hope that isn't the case, as it would just be a repeat of Web of Shadows, but really, how many other black Spider-Mans do you know?

[ProjectPat2280]

Nathan, Tron Bonne: I don't think it's the Symbiote, I SERIOUSLY hope it's not. But, to me, it doesn't look like it.


Then what other black costume wearing Spider-Man can you think of?

As for your boss run down, yea i read and understood that when you posted it prior. I just dont know if im ready to believe Activision saying there will be 13 different bosses. Ah well, just have to wait for more info, maybe some screens of these sub bosses.

[Nathan]

You know, Symbiote Spidey could actually be fun if they use all the symbiote's abilities. For example, give him the shapeshifting ability, so he could disguise himself as other guards to gain access. His Symbiote could be used to unlock doors, by seeping his symbiote through an opening and pressing a control panel on the other side. Stuff like that.

I still don't want him in the game, but if he is, I hope they make him at least really fun to play.

Yea, im with you, i mean i dont have a problem with the symbiote but damn Activision is wearing them out(then again thats what they do) but i really dont want the symbiote to show up in this game. If it does, im with you in that id like to see it used in a way it hasnt been before.

[Nathan]

The shapeshifting could be done like Prototype. Just without the consuming a victim of course.

[The Joker]

Thirteen villains, I like the sound of that. Doc Ock, and some kind of Goblin is bound to be in there.

[ProjectPat2280]

Thirteen villains, I like the sound of that. Doc Ock, and some kind of Goblin is bound to be in there.

I hope the overall boss is one of them. I want the final baddie to be someone that Parker has a long history with, not someone he's had a run in with a few times. Osborn would be the best as he's Spider-Mans most personal enemy.

[Dwarf Slayer]

Thirteen villains, I like the sound of that. Doc Ock, and some kind of Goblin is bound to be in there.

Don't get too excited.

Activision has confirmed that we'll be facing off with villains multiple times. There are three tiers of missions in the game. Each tier consisting of 4 missions (one for each dimension), you can approach these in whatever order you choose. Each level ends in a boss, the same boss you encountered in the same dimension from previous tiers. It will be same villain, but a different fight.

Amazing Spider-Man: Kraven
Noir Spider-Man: Hammerhead
Spider-Man 2099: ???
??? - ???

That takes care of 12 of the bosses. Presumably, the 13th boss is the final one that ties everything together.

[Nathan]

Thirteen villains, I like the sound of that. Doc Ock, and some kind of Goblin is bound to be in there.

I'd hope so, but with each Dimension getting 1 main villain and Kraven being Amazing's main, the chances are slim. It would be an ultimate letdown if Doc Ock or Goblin were only sub-bosses.

Then we have the Noir Dimension, where Hammerhead is the main villain, so that would leave Goblin again as a sub-boss. But if they follow canon, he's already dead. He wouldn't be much of a challenge anyway, since he doesn't have 616 Goblin's powers or abilities.

The other Dimension we know will be Spider-Man 2099. I haven't read all the comics, but from what I gathered on the net, the Goblin in that timeline wasn't anywhere as good as the 616 Goblin.

Which leaves us with the unknown 4th Dimension, which if it really turns out to be Symbiote Spider-Man's, we'll probably have some symbiote based villains.

I hope the overall boss is one of them. I want the final baddie to be someone that Parker has a long history with, not someone he's had a run in with a few times. Osborn would be the best as he's Spider-Mans most personal enemy.

I don't know if Spidey needs a long history with the main baddy. This doesn't concern just him, it concerns 4 different Spider-Men. I hope it's someone neutral. As much as I want the Green Goblin in this, I don't want him to be the guy to terrorize all Dimensions.

[ProjectPat2280]

I think that's been the problem with the past Spider-Man titles, the overall story isn't personal to Peter Parker, this one needs to be.

[The Bruce]

I don't want to only fight Kraven as 616 Spidey. I hate him he's a joke :csad: major game fail for me!

[Tron Bonne]

Kraven is a joke? Wow

[Nathan]

I think that's been the problem with the past Spider-Man titles, the overall story isn't personal to Peter Parker, this one needs to be.

I don't mind making it personal, but like I said, this concerns 4 Spider-Men. I don't really like the idea of one Dimension's villain having priority over all others.

I don't want to only fight Kraven as 616 Spidey. I hate him he's a joke :csad: major game fail for me!

You won't. Kraven is Amazing's main villain, but there'll still be 2 other villains. Each Dimension gets 3 villains to fight.

You're incorrect.

Read this, it 100% confirms 13 SEPARATE villains, not the same boss over and over.

Villains
The game will feature 13 villains, one for each level. The story is split into three acts; each of those acts will feature a level in each of the four dimensions.Source: http://oneofswords.com/2010/04/spider-man-shattered-dimensions-at-wondercon/

This is directly from the Activision reps / Beenox reps at Wondercon. What you're hearing is repeated from ComingSoon.net where they were told incorrect information from someone.

The game is expected to have 13 villains in total, broken down across three acts. There will be 3 villains per dimension, one main boss, two sub bosses.
Source: http://www.buzzfocus.com/2010/04/03/game-preview-spider-man-shattered-dimensions/

This is another confirmation on it. Now whether you believe this or not, it's your choice but it's what's been confirmed.

I'll reply to others after class, not really supposed to be on here atm. :P

[Venom 1988]

I don't want to only fight Kraven as 616 Spidey. I hate him he's a joke :csad: major game fail for me!

No you fail...and he isn't the only villain for 616 anyway

[Nathan]

I'm not thrilled with having Kraven as a main boss either. What I especially hate is that he's going to get a power up thanks to the tablet. I hate villains with power ups. Can't we just face them as they are? What is it with that video game gimmick to somehow make villains stronger than they are in the comics?

[The Bruce]

Seriously what treat did Kraven pose to Spidey before Last hunt? He was a c-list Spidey foe. Even Bendis made him a "one punch" baddie in Ultimate.

I love Kraven's last hunt to death - But to quote a great "gangsta" poet: "you're nobody till somebody kills you".

I agree! It stinks. I'm so sick of crappy gimmicks in my Spidey games. Stay true to the books! Look at Ultimate Spider-man. That game was amazing.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Thirteen villains, I like the sound of that. Doc Ock, and some kind of Goblin is bound to be in there. Let's hope! :up:

[LightningFlash]

But the world is still the same for him, ain't it?
I'd rather have him as an unlockable costume for the Amazing universe.

Ehh, probably. I just really, really like Scarlet Spider...that look is pretty darn awesome if you ask me, but, yah, most likely it'll be an alternate costume for 616 Spidey.

13 villains, minus the two that's already been spoken of(Kraven and Hammerhead), it would be awesome to see Doc Ock or Goblin...doesn't Spider-Man 2099 take on a Goblin in the comics? I always thought the two biggest names in his rogue gallery were Venom 2099 and Green Goblin 2099.

[ProjectPat2280]

I want a good Doc Ock battle, especially if this game incorporates good use of Spidey's agility. It'd be a blast dodging those tentacles, while shooting a web ball in Ock's face in order to get close enough for a punch to the jaw.

[ProjectPat2280]

I don't mind making it personal, but like I said, this concerns 4 Spider-Men. I don't really like the idea of one Dimension's villain having priority over all others.


Its still Spider-Man tho. If it was Spider-Man and 3 other heros then yea, but even tho theres 4 of em, its still Spider-Man. The main villain needs to be an individual that has a personal hatred for Spider-Man, be it in the Amazing dimension, Noir dimension etc etc. If the main villain turns out to be someone the Fantastic 4 has faced more often then Spidey, then that'll just be damn lame.

[Nathan]

Something interesting someone found on HeroHQ.

I was just re-reading some of my Spider-man comics. When I got to Amazing Spider-man #546, Mr. Negative caught my attention. Not because of his looks but because of ONE panel. He held up a slab of stone with blue, ancient writing on it and said, "Good eye, Spider-man. This is a Lemurian Tablet. But not the one you are thinking of. That was the Tablet of Life & Time. This is it's sister, the Tablet of Death & Entropy." Hmm, why does that sound familiar? *cough* Tablet of Chaos & Order *cough* Could Mr. Negative be the final bad guy?!

F.Y.I. Both this comic and the game are written by Dan Slott.

[Tron Bonne]

Well, if Noir can make it into a game....I guess Mr. Negative can, too

[Venom 1988]

Ehh, probably. I just really, really like Scarlet Spider...that look is pretty darn awesome if you ask me, but, yah, most likely it'll be an alternate costume for 616 Spidey.

Honestly, I would say Vulture 2099 is a bigger super-villain than Venom or Goblin 2099.

[MACH]

I'm cool with the Mr Negative. While not the most 3dimensional of villains ever, certainly the coolest and most badass in years!

As for the Kraven hating, I'm cool with him being in the game. Its a nice change of pace and he is a really cool character and as far as I remember totally under-used in video games.

Lets just hope he isnt the only villain Amazing Spidey faces(I know I know we're meant to be getting 12 but I'll believe it when I hear some more specifics of who.)

[ProjectPat2280]

Something interesting someone found on HeroHQ.

That is a neat find. I dont have a clue as to who in the blue hell Mr Negative is, but i guess if i hear his name i wont be so surprised.

[socool]

Mr. Negative:

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/40/273850-4762-mister-negative_super.jpg

just for the record, I'm the "someone" that posted that on Herohq ;)

[Ajendo]

Thirteen villains, I like the sound of that. Doc Ock, and some kind of Goblin is bound to be in there.

You would think that wouldn't you but for some reason these game developers don't like using ock and goblin. I still can't believe that both Ock and Goblin have only been used once as a movie tie in for the past 2 generations of consoles in a proper mainstream spidey game.

Here's hoping our dreams come true.

[Nathan]

And here's the page from ASM #547, not #546.

http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/5930/017b.th.jpg (http://img122.imageshack.us/i/017b.jpg/)

He seems like an interesting character. Let's see what wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Negative) has on his abilities.

During an encounter in Amazing Spider-Man #548, Spider-Man notes that Mr. Negative possesses some degree of superhuman strength. Mr. Negative also demonstrates superhuman reflexes during his battle with the Hood, dodging bullets or cutting them in half with his sword. He also has to power to charge up knives and swords with black electrical energy, and he can corrupt people he touches in the same manner, bringing them under his control.

[The Bruce]

Did we ever get that story behind the tablet in the comic?

[Ryuuie]

What's with all the "I don't believe 13 villains" going around?

Seriously, back on M:UA 2, everyone took what Activision and Vicarious Visions to heart but now people are doubting it when the publisher and the developers have confirmed it?

Are you guys seriously so in doubt for this game that you ignore even official word? Well, ok whatever. You don't want to believe 13 villains, that's your choice. Just make sure you know that you're wrong and you're letting the problems of the past take control of your judgment.

Seriously, if you doubt the word of the publisher and developer, you might as well doubt the game itself exists as that's as "high up" as you can get. That's all I will say on this subject.

Anyway, for the whole "Are you SURE that's not Symbiote Spider-Man?" thing...Yes. I am.

The dimensions are each tailored to a version of Spider-Man from the comics. Symbiote Spider-Man is 616 in a gooey costume. I don't care about the combat of WOS, it was pretty terrible, really.

It also would not be based in the comics unless you use Poison and make it a What If? dimension which would be actually pretty neat. But other than that, it just wouldn't work.

There are many costumes and many separate versions of Spider-Man out there. Even a fat one.

http://marvel.wikia.com/Spider-Man#Alternate_Reality_Versions Pick one. Also, how do you know it's "black" and not a dark blue? The picture in question is a low-resolution image.

This is different than ignoring fact as this is just simple fan speculation fueled by a low-resolution image. I'll believe this when I see it confirmed.

I dont not believe it and I really appreciate all your updates...I'm just hmm I dunno....it just feels too good to be true, I am being controlled by the past...

However I'll be over the moon when pics are released and I'm proven wrong :cwink:

[Drz]

What we can hope is that the 13 bosses will be atleast unique. Not just the same type. :)

Because Activision is the one saying it. Thats why everyone has a hard time believing anything.

Again, i go back to Activision. They have forced the symbiotes on us many, many times already, whats stopping them from doing that again? Its not only the fact that the leaked costume looks like a symbiote, but add that with the fact that they love giving us the symbiote and now you can see why ppl make that connection. If you are so certain its not a symbiote, then give us ur thought as to who it is. It should be pretty damn easy for you as you dont have many options to choose from as Spider-Man hasnt worn that many black costumes. Im not saying for sure what the final 2 dimensions are, but i sure as hell wont be surprised if they end up being 2099 and a Symbiote.

You of all people should know this. You've paid attention to how Activision and their developers act, you of all people shouldn't be just regurgitating PR speak.

Do you know anything about Marvel's multiverse?

Noir and 2099 are What If dimensions. They didn't have a What If issue, but it's what they basically are, alternate versions of Spidey on alternate Earth throughout the multiverse. That really does nothing to prove your argument.

And, of all those in that link there's only a few that match black or dark blue. The handful of symbiote versions, and the Timeslip Spidey, but the latter's suit is pretty different and even more obscure than Noir. Though, there's also Bullet Points Spidey, I guess. That's a possibility

I'll give you that it's not official, yet, but whether you or me or anyone else wants it to be, the symbiote version is simply the best bet on aesthetically based reasons. If that's wrong, cool, that's fine with me, but you're not really disapproving anything with this.

[LightningFlash]

Honestly, I would say Vulture 2099 is a bigger super-villain than Venom or Goblin 2099.

I want to see Vulture in a different universe though, either Noir or Amazing. For Noir, it might be cool, giving the "old guy with wings" a more sinister, gangster-look to him, and as always, for Amazing, it would help out with the agility and web usage of ASM.

Is Vulture in the Noir series? *goes to wikipedia for answers*

[Venom 1988]

Yeah Spidey shot and killed him

[Nathan]

Anyway, for the whole "Are you SURE that's not Symbiote Spider-Man?" thing...Yes. I am.

The dimensions are each tailored to a version of Spider-Man from the comics. Symbiote Spider-Man is 616 in a gooey costume. I don't care about the combat of WOS, it was pretty terrible, really.

And you can tailor a Dimension to Symbiote Spider-Man, if there isn't an appropriate world in the comics, you can just make one up. It'll simply count as a parallel dimension and will be treated like a what if comic.

It also would not be based in the comics unless you use Poison and make it a What If? dimension which would be actually pretty neat. But other than that, it just wouldn't work.

Noir Hammerhead isn't based on the comics, he'll have his first apearance in the game. If they can introduce villains that didn't appear in the comics, they can introduce worlds that didn't appear in the comics as well.

There are many costumes and many separate versions of Spider-Man out there. Even a fat one.

http://marvel.wikia.com/Spider-Man#Alternate_Reality_Versions Pick one.

Well, that's great. But tell me, how many black costumed Spideys do you spot?

I count Four. One is Noir, which is already in the game. The next two are Spider-Man from Earth-1089, where he kept the Symbiote and Spider-Man from Earth-70134, who is from the What If comic "The Other". Then we have Spider-Man from Earth-9939, I don't know what the deal is here, but he seems completely uninteresting.

Also, how do you know it's "black" and not a dark blue? The picture in question is a low-resolution image.

Low-resolution or not, I think our eyes are working good enough so we can tell what color it is. And you'd think they'd chose another color than a lighter blue for a contrast. Just like the other Captain Universe costumes are white and blue, not grey and white or blue and light blue.

This is black.

http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/3518/blackcaptainuniversespi.jpg (http://img693.imageshack.us/i/blackcaptainuniversespi.jpg/)

But, for argument's sake, let's say it's dark blue. Who else would be there? Timeslip Spider-Man from Earth-96211? I don't think so.

This is different than ignoring fact as this is just simple fan speculation fueled by a low-resolution image. I'll believe this when I see it confirmed.

Yes, it's nothing but fan speculation. But it's not like there have been dozens of different black costumed Spider-Men and we're just picking who we like the most. There just simply isn't anyone else.

[Ryuuie]

Because Activision is the one saying it. Thats why everyone has a hard time believing anything.

You also still havent posed a good argument as to why its not the symbiote. Again, i go back to Activision.

Im not saying for sure what the final 2 dimensions are, but i sure as hell wont be surprised if they end up being 2099 and a Symbiote.

You of all people should know this. You've paid attention to how Activision and their developers act, you of all people shouldn't be just regurgitating PR speak.

And yet Activision were the ones who published game, and M:UA 2, and Spider-Man 2, and USM, and M:UA... Guess this game doesn't exist then because Activision said it then, huh? I bet it's a HUGE prank and we're only getting a game based on Symbiote Spider-Man vs Carnage and Venom and they're all in movie outfits too. See how stupid that sounds?

Yes, I know how Activision is, more than anyone in this thread since I've had "insider knowledge" many times from the various admins and from the guy who won the trip to play SM3 at Activision's HQ. However, I also know that when they say something pertaining to the game in question, it's true in one way or another.

Activision isn't ****ing Satan, they're not out to steal your money and outright lie to you. If they say 13 villains, then there ARE 13 villains. Maybe you can't fight them, maybe you only see them in a cutscene, who knows (highly unlikely) but they ARE there. If you chose to interpret this in another way, fine.

Do you honestly think Activision WOULDN'T try? Don't you understand that they most likely know this is their last chance of making a GOOD Spider-Man game or people will give up on them faster than Sonic fans gave up on Sega? Activision and Beenox both know the pressure they're facing from fans and critics alike.

They're not going to lie to you and hope you buy the game because, whether you want to believe it or not, people don't like that and WILL return games because of false advertisement.

Also, this was announced officially at Wondercon, Dan Slott (writer of Spider-Man comics and of the game), Christopher Daniel Barnes (veteran voice actor of Spider-Man and actor in the game), Thomas Wilson from Beenox, Meghan Morgan from Activision, and if you want to throw in an internet influence, Ricardo Torres was there from GameSpot.

Thomas Wilson stated that there would be 13 separate villains. If he was incorrect in ANY way, you don't think that the others would correct him? You praise CDB and Slott but you think they truly wouldn't step up and correct him in front of their fans? If it IS a lie, it's on their asses too because they sat there and said nothing against it.

I don't understand why people believe a piece of **** site like Kotaku but don't believe the higher up companies who have more credibility than a site like Kotaku ever will.

About the Symbiote thing, maybe I'm wrong. Fine. I don't care if I'm wrong, it's my personal opinion that it's not Symbiote Spider-Man and I'm not trying to make it as fact. But you've got your proof about 13 villains there (in fact, there's a 3rd article I did not add to the sources because I was typing that post in class), if you don't believe it then there's nothing more to say.

To those who actually DO believe what Beenox (and Activision) have said, please excuse the rant. Thank you for using your common sense as it's not often people do that now a days.

To those who believe Symbiote Spider-Man is in the game and think I don't know what I'm saying when I say he's not, well that's your opinion. One of us is wrong, one of us is right. I honestly don't care if I'm wrong about it. It's an observation that I think has more grounds than a simple picture.

I understand it's not official and that's not my beef with it. My beef with the theory is that it doesn't seem to fit in with what we've been given. However, they could just find some obscure reality OR make a what if.

If you can't believe the people who created the game, who can you believe?

Again, this is my last post on that whole "13 villains" thing. I will continue to mention it as fact in the megathread (for the record, if that wasn't true. drtruffle would've e-mailed me again telling me that "something isn't 100% true"...which he has not).

The symbiote thing though...well that's up for debate until I get a picture. :P

[Shockdingo]

13 boss fights? Interesting, I'll have to keep tabs on this thread, I've been looking for updates. :)

Hah. So I'm wrong. Again, I didn't care THAT much if I was wrong on this. :P

I'll take a look at the comic and see if it's any good.

What's funny is, when I was on that alternate reality page, I scrolled past it but didn't take notice until now. :whatever: Ah well, it happens. :P

Wait, I remember reading this. Even more sad/funny. I didn't like the comic THAT much but the ending was kind of sad. Maybe Dan Slott can do something nice with it.

Ok, I'm not going to try and prove who's right or wrong, since there's not much to go by except for the color, I just want to continue a civil discussion.

How exactly have your observations more ground then ours? All we have is a simple picture. Without it, anyone's opinion is nothing but guesswork. Even without the picture, let's not forget how many symbiotes we got in the last games.

Starting with USM, we get a game where we can play both, Spider-Man and Venom. Then, Spider-Man the Movie 3, yes, it was a Movie, it wasn't Activision, but even Sony got caught in the Symbiote craze. Which brings us to Friend or Foe, where the game was centered around a Symbiote invasion. And lastly, Web of Shadows, where again a Symbiote invasion takes place, with Venom at the center and Spider-Man donning the black costume yet again. Oh, I nearly forgot MUA2. A game, where Carnage has been included as a playable DLC character, because according to Vicarious Visions, he was at the top of the fan request list. Notice a pattern?

Fans (curse them) love symbiotes. Activision (curse them too) knows fans love symbiotes. So in a game where we can play as 4 different Spider-Men, who all have to offer unique gameplay experiences, the only logical choice would be a symbiote Spider-Man, because he comes with different abilities, that neither of the Spider-Men already in the game have.

Activision also hired 4 separate actors for the 4 different Spider-Men. They've surprised you once, you don't think they can do it again?

It's not my fault fans are symbiote crazed. Each time I mention on these forums to take your ideas to the OFFICIAL forums and each time...no one does. This is the first time I've seen you on the official forums, actually.

If people really hated symbiotes, they'd start up those great discussions there, since no one does, then it must not be that big of a deal.

Anyway, there's already been proof that I obviously forgot about Earth-1089 which features a Spider-Man completely possessed by the symbiote. Maybe they're using that.

[Nathan]

Actually, I've been there since MUA1.

[spideyboy_1111]

well.... if Earth 1089 isn't who this other spiderman is... then it very well could be...

-poison (from the other) which fits the clues... (past=noir, present=616, future=2099, rebirth= the other)



if its not a symbiote at all... the most visually interesting other universes would be...

-Spider-man Reign
-1602
-House of M
-Mc2 (as spider-girl)
-Earth X
-Zombie Verse
-Spider-Ham
-Manga-verse

[Ryuuie]

Actually, I've been there since MUA1.

Same name? I know a few people have changed names a few times.

[Nathan]

To be honest, I'm not really sure. I know the E-Mail address I use is still the same.

[MACH]

Just for the record I would like to state I'm not so much doubting the amount of boss battles as I am doubting they will be different bosses. Like I think they'll be more than one boss per act but I think that it will be the same boss each time with a new "upgrade" courtesy of the tablet.

I have no reason to think this besides my own fears (lol) but thats my guess at this stage.

Love all the updates from Ryuuie though so keep 'em coming!

[spideyboy_1111]

i still highly highly highly doubt there's only going to be 5 villains in the game (one in each world + main)

that doesn't sound like activision, nor does either one of the 2 listed so far purely represent the universes there in. not to mention villains make the game play fun... and that's not alot to make me want to continue on...

activision has usually put several villains in each game... and with todays technology 12-13 is very doable.

[Nathan]

Woah there. Chill.

Destructoid.com (http://www.destructoid.com/jumping-dimensions-in-spider-man-shattered-dimensions-169857.phtml) has a preview of the game and they'll also have a video interview with Beenox, soon.

[ProjectPat2280]

No, actually. Activision doesnt want to get into the habit of pleasing ppl.

[Tron Bonne]

EDIT: Nevermind, didn't see the time, guess we're back on the rails

[Nathan]

It's what we do.

[LightningFlash]

-poison (from the other) which fits the clues... (past=noir, present=616, future=2099, rebirth= the other)

If we go by this logic, Poison seems to be the way to go, imo.

I did some research and what not on the alternate versions of Spider-Man, and the Captain Universe(the black and blue one) looks pretty much what this Poison character looks like with the Spider-Man/Captain Universe comparison.

Past - Noir, Present - Amazing, Future - 2099, Other - Poison.

And Poison's world could look very alien-esque, with towers of "symbiote buildings", and what not. The environment could look very much like we're on a planet of symbiotes, but it's still Earth, but just a step further than what Web of Shadows tried to do.

And also, has anyone thought of this...what if the "guide" that's in this game, that'll help out each Spidey, is The Beyonder? That seems like it could work, I mean, with the tablet messing up all realities and etc.

[GL1]

ahh kids. I say this and I wasn't born in the 60's and i feel old for knowing this. but they repeated it alot where I live formerly on ytv (when I had a tv) and are still doing on teletoon which the cartoon network for us here. only their not forcing stuff that aren't toons there.

You all need to see that 1960's cartoon. maybe it's on youtube. still I don't know but there was a reason that song went "Spider man , spider man, does what ever a spider can, spins a web any "size" notice the latter part . find the videos. lol it's always shown him making crazy stuff like this. of big sizes. you know how to find it. look for the song. d you don't need me to find it for ya. lol

Y'know good point. I do remember the web hang glider, among others. I think my issue is the SPEED at which these seem to be generated, it stretches my suspension of disbelief further than it typically needs to go with Spidey.

[Wolvieboy17]

I think you have to take the whole notion of web slinging with a grain of salt... it doesnt really make sense. His wrists are generally shown as just shooting out a rope of web, yet there are times when he shoots out a whole weblike net over an enemy... or in any game where he just shoots it out like silly string and somehow wraps it around an enemy, whilst standing still...

Speaking of Web physics and all that, if anyones played Just Cause 2, the stuff you can do with the grapple in that game just shows you how much unexplored potential there is in spiderman games for use of his webs... its always been limited to tieing up a guy, or shooting web bullets

[The Bruce]

This will be the first Spider-man game with trophies on the PS3! Can't wait to finally get a 100% in a Spidey game.

[Spidey_62]

Wasn't that Gamepro issue supposed to come out today? I'd take pics but I won't make it to the book store till Friday and I wouldn't even know if they carry it.

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Wasn't that Gamepro issue supposed to come out today? I'd take pics but I won't make it to the book store till Friday and I wouldn't even know if they carry it.

I've read it. The coverage is dissapointing. Just a screen grab or two and a blurb of already-known informantion.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ So, pretty much nothing new?

[Shockdingo]

Hmm, some of these alternate world suggestions are intersting, but, would they really work? I mean the whole notion of this is that Spidey is trying to save everyone by uniting the tablet. Wouldn't Zombies Spidey in a (non-gory, M-rated world) just be selfishly trying to eat and eat and eat? Also, wasn't Poison tainted by evil/dubious creepyness? While I think they're not super likely, I think a form of a symbiote Spidey would be cool.
Note: I am (despite being a Symbiote fan) ABSOLUTELY tired of the overexposure of symbiote based plots in all the majority of Spidey games. Though, the ideas of Spidey utilizing his powers like in Prototype and beyond, could be great and rather interesting. Be I'm rather focused on the different worlds concept at the moment, so while looking for who #4 could be, I'm weighing the level of interest any potential Spidey could bring. Here's hoping for a fun choice. :)

any way it was shown in the books of that series that cause of Spidey re coperation powers that the Zombies virus reverted in him. But as I said he wasn't mentioned til you brought him in. So no one wants to see/ play that one I'm guessing . The alternate realitys that were mention were HOM MC2 (spider girls) the other as you mentioned which has Poison.( him struggling agaisnt his evil might be interesting) And Earth X from what was mentioned by others here.

[Shockdingo]

Hehe, my mistake, I keep mixing communities and their reactions/feedback to this game; I've been to other fansites and blogs and people keep hoping for that iteration of Spidey makes it into this game. Either way, Poison could be interesting if they amped up the variety of symbiote power and somehow incorporated an active struggle of will into the specific world. :)

[DACMAN]

Calm the **** down. I edited it for ya and anyone else

Pretty amazing how easy it was to use a spoiler tag, huh?

And no. When someone blurts out an obvious climatic part to an entire story arc that most of us will probably read now that there's a game based on it, I have the right to get angry. Even more so when the guy who blurted it out has a chip on his shoulder to not even say "sorry" when he got called out on it.

Sure, maybe he should've put spoiler tags around it in the first place, but...it wasn't necessary to have your post on size seven font.

Just my two cents.

[DACMAN]

Nice!!!:awesome::up:

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gt-pop-block-spider-man-shattered/64236

Very cool. One of the other two dimensions has to be 2099. I never even thought about Spider-Girl though. That'd be cool.

[DACMAN]

You'll hear some serious whining if Spider-Man 2099 isn't in this game...

[Nathan]

He is.

[spideyboy_1111]

i sorta wish we were getting at least cameo's of other universes heroes and/or worlds. The game's looking great, but it'd be kinda cool if you enter one world like 2099 and marvel zombies invade midway through the level and you have to fight them off.

it would have been kinda cool as well if you are 616 spidey in each demension, and fight with the other world spidey. but you could have the choice of being either spider-man.

who knows... maybe other worlds will get some sort of cameo...like in the final boss world or something. like its a big room with a bunch of portals open, and other spideys are in the room or something.

[Nathan]

I was thinking the same thing. Kinda like Turtles Forever, when you see every Turtle Dimension that ever existed.

[spideyboy_1111]

I was thinking the same thing. Kinda like Turtles Forever, when you see every Turtle Dimension that ever existed.

exactly, something like that would be great

[Dan_Slott]

Hi. I haven't read the whole thread (I skimmed it a little) so if this was covered somewhere else, my apologies.

I can't confirm and/or deny what the two remaining universes (outside AMAZING/616 and NOIR) are. Nor can I mention who the other villains in the game are (outside of the already announced KRAVEN/616 and HAMMERHEAD/NOIR).

But, hopefully, I can clear this up:

There are 13 specific spidey-villains/bosses in the game.

There are 4 realities. Each reality has 3 levels. Each level culminates in a battle with a unique spidey-villain. THEN there's a final conflict. So that gives you 13 spidey-villains/bosses.

Hope that helps. :spidey:

[MikeFrost]

This thread just got more epic.

Hello Dan.

EDIT:
I don't know if you can answer this but here goes: Can you tell us how long this game has been in production?

[danoyse]

Yeah I was pretty pissed. I can't stand people that are that lazy or egocentric that they can't take two seconds to put a spoiler tag around something. Not everyone has read it. And then to not even apologize because he harbors some childish grudge. In my opinion seven point font wasn't enough.

It was more than enough, as was the name-calling you included in that completely unnecessary post.

You will not do that again - if you can't ask nicely, don't do it at all. That goes for everyone here.

[The Bruce]

Hey Dan are you ever gonna have your OWN run on Spider-man? I love your work on Brand new day.

That helps immensely. Thank you :up:

Thirteen villains in this game. That's awesome. Most Spidey villains in a game to date.

[Drz]

Well thats certainly kind to help us out. All i hope is that the villains have some unique boss fight... If all of them receive a boss fight treatment that is. :)

[Shockdingo]

"Yesh!"/DeliciousBison
Now then, that's all cleared nicely. Thanks Mr. Slott!

[Shockdingo]

Gah double post! Seriously, it's happening like every time I post now!

[ProjectPat2280]

Haha, i dint believe there were 13 different bosses until Dan Slott said it. Even tho Activision and Beenox has been saying it for a week now. Shows how much faith i have in Activision.

[SpideyForPrez]

Wow! 13 villains/bosses! That's the most we've ever had in a Spidey game if I'm not mistaken.

I'm glad Dan's clarifying that the villains will be boss fights. I always hate when a character appears in a game but doesn't get a boss fight. Like Mysterio in Spider-Man 2 and Beetle in Spider-Man2: Enter Electro (PS1). I mean, what's the point of including them if you don't fight em!? It's a video game you're suppose to fight bosses.

So my excitement for this game rises. Lots of bosses. Dan Slott writing. And old Spidey voices. This game is gonna break my heart if it's gameplay sucks.

[MACH]

SWEET!!!! DAN IS THE MAN!!!! I'M FINALLY A (true) BELIEVER!!!


Assuming thats the real Dan.....

Doh!

[SpideyForPrez]

Dan Slott posts on this site from time to time. Usually in the Marvel Comics section. I'm pretty sure it's him cause he'll post official news or stuff about himself and his writing. It's great that he comes down here to post with all us geeks! Especially when he confirms stuff!

[Nathan]

Knowing the Noir comics, I'm kinda worried about the boss fights. Hammerhead is going to use guns and will get a power-up by the tablet, but the rest of the Noir villains don't really have any superpowers. Are the other boss fights practically always going to end in a shootout?

[MACH]

Thats really ****ing sweet! Nice one Dan, I stand by my renaming you with Stan's 'the man'.

[socool]

Knowing the Noir comics, I'm kinda worried about the boss fights. Hammerhead is going to use guns and will get a power-up by the tablet, but the rest of the Noir villains don't really have any superpowers. Are the other boss fights practically always going to end in a shootout?
even then, the hammerhead fight in the trailer is Noir Spidey sneaking up on him and kicking his butt...

[Nathan]

Yeah, but that's against a tablet powered Hammerhead like I mentioned. Most of the others would go down after one hit. Unless it's Sandman. So far he's the only one who straight up beat Spidey to a bloody pulp.

[Ryuuie]

Haha, i dint believe there were 13 different bosses until Dan Slott said it. Even tho Activision and Beenox has been saying it for a week now. Shows how much faith i have in Activision.

*Sigh*

[LightningFlash]

Wow! 13 villains/bosses! That's the most we've ever had in a Spidey game if I'm not mistaken.

I think the closest we've had in terms of how many villains was Ultimate Spider-Man with eight villains(I think).

Yeah, but that's against a tablet powered Hammerhead like I mentioned. Most of the others would go down after one it. Unless it's Sandman. So far he's the only one who straight up beat Spidey to a bloody pulp.

I would love a boss battle where we see the villain beat up Spidey at first, then you have to play as a beat down Spider-Man. It'll test how good you can defeat the villain with playing a 50% character.

[Jick09]

Well, we had something like that in Enter Electro.
In the fight against Hyper-Electro, Spidey's costume gets torn up before the battle begins. The life remains the same, but I get what you're saying, and I agree.

[SpideyForPrez]

I hope there's at least one level where all the spidey's meet up and work together on a mission or boss. Kind of like the last few episodes of Spider-Man 90's TAS.

Maybe you play through different parts of one level as each and then you choose which Spidey to finish things. That'd be fun! :awesome:

How else would they get all the tablet pieces together?

[Ryuuie]

"Thomas also revealed that the game will feature something called the Web of Destiny, a challenge system that encourages replay value and challenges gamers to “approach levels in different ways and unlock new abilities, movies, concept art, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and alternate suits” (but not, as Christopher joked, “Armani Spider-Man”)."

[LightningFlash]

Isn't this old news?

[Ryuuie]

Isn't this old news?

Mhm.

But Shocker 9000 mentioned playing as the different Spider-Men throughout realities that aren't their own.

So, it's relevant as that could definitely be possible. :oldrazz:

[Nathan]

That would be cool. It already happened in the comics that Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 switched places. I'd really like to be able to fight Kraven with Spider-Man Noir. The Kraven in Noir was pushover.

[spideyboy_1111]

so i do wonder if these 13 villains will be all "spider-centric" villains, or if some will be borrowed from other hero's rogues galleries. like... doctor doom, mephisto, juggernaut, absorbing man, thanos, galactus, etc...


assuming they are all villains in spider-man's rogues gallery who would you expect to be in the game?

HAVE:
-Kraven (616)
-Hammer Head (Noir)

Characters who have the greatest chances:

-Green Goblin (616, noir, 2099, ultimate, earth x, MC2, 1602, House of M, zombies)
-Hobgoblin (616, 2211, MC2, ultimate)
-Electro (616, house of M, zombies, MC2, Reign, ultimate)
-Sandman (616, noir, 1602, house of M, zombies, reign, ultimate)
-Venom (616, House of M, Ultimate, MC2, Zombies, 2099, Reign, Earth X)
-Carnage (616, ultimate, Mc2)
-Beetle (616, zombies, ultimate, house of M)
-Doc Ock (616, ultimate, MC2, 1602, noir, zombies, house of M, reign)
-Vulture (616, noir, 2099, 1602, MC2, House of M, Earth X, Zombies, Ultimate)
-Mysterio (616, zombies, ultimate)
-Rhino (616, ultimate)
-Shocker (616, ultimate, mc2)
-Hydro-man (616, reign)
-Man Wolf (616, Earth X, House of M, MC2, Ultimate)
-Morbius (616, house of M, ultimate, zombies)
-Kingpin (616, ultimate, House of M, Zombies, Return, MC2, Reign)
-Tombstone (616, MC2, Noir)
-Lizard (616, zombies, ultimate, mc2)
-Scorpion (616, zombies, reign, ultimate)
-Chameleon (616, 2211, Ultimate Chameleon, Noir)
-Spot (616, ultimate)
-Mr. Negative (616)
-Swarm (616, ultimate)
-Will-o-the Wisp (616)
-Vermin (616)
-Scarecrow (616)
-Molten Man (616, Ultimate)
-Silvermane (616, ultimate)
-Jackal (616, ultimate, zombies)
-Morlun (616)
-Jack o lantern (616)
-Enforcers (616, MC2, Ultimate, Noir)
-Scream (616)
-Calypso (616)
-Shriek (616)

Now, out of this list... (Scream, Enforcers, Jack o lantern (other then movie scenes in MUA2), morlun, jackal, silvermane, molten man, scarecrow, vermin, will-o-the wisp, swarm, mr negative, spot, chameleon, tombstone, man wolf, beetle (other then ultimate's cameo), green goblin (comic version), hobgoblin, and hydro man) all have either never appeared in a video game, or it's been a very long time since they have. I suspect we will at least get one or 2 of these.

616 obviously has the largest to choose from

noir has... (enforcers, chameleon, tombstone, vulture, green goblin, sandman, and doc ock) as possible villain choices. Of that list, (the enforcers and sandman may have the best bet imo)

2099 has (venom, green goblin, vulture) venom would be surely in, and probably vulture too. the third i doubt would be green goblin, but if not... either another 2099 villain, or they may add a 2011 villain, or do what they did with hammer head and create there own.

i honestly have no clue what the 4th could be, but the list shows there's definately alot to choose from.

[Ryuuie]

Yea, because Activision has never mislead the customer, what was i thinking?

No, it's more like a "CDB and Slott both already technically confirmed it at Wondercon but you were too blind to notice." sigh.

So, whatever.

Anyway, back to the whole news thing I actually came here to post.

Kevin Umbricht (Game Producer of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions): We've created the story with Marvel. Throughout Marvel history there have been a few of these tablets, the Tablet of Life and Time, and they just introduced, a few years ago, a sister tablet, the Tablet of Death and Entropy, so we have created, in conjunction of those tablets, The Tablet of Order and Chaos, which holds all the universes apart from one another.
http://www.denofgeek.com/games/458769/spiderman_shattered_dimensions_preview_and_intervi ew.html

So, there's a VERY good chance that Mr. Negative will be in the game.

[ProjectPat2280]

No, it's more like a "CDB and Slott both already technically confirmed it at Wondercon but you were too blind to notice." sigh.

I didnt pay any attention to WC, so all i heard was Activision PR speak and im not going to just accept what they spit out. As many times as we have been burned by Activision in the past, they damn near have to prove everything if i want to believe it. Like i said before, you should know this. You were this boards number one anti Activision poster. Are they paying you now?

You were this boards number one anti Activision poster. Are they paying you now?

You should've paid attention to the conference. Not EVERYTHING is "PR speak". They've said it twice outside of the conference even to other websites who reported on what they were told as is their job. You remind me of conspiracy theorists who have their heads in their asses and think that everything is a lie. Everything.

No one has to prove anything to you, I don't really care how much you feel "burned". If you just don't want to believe it, that's your fault. The reason why you feel you are owed is because you're blinded by things that happened in the past. Let it go, move the f**k on. SM3 and WOS were, literally, years ago (be it 2 or 10, it's still years).

If you must know, no Activision isn't paying me. I just use common sense and piece things together, it's not really hard. Considering how much Activision has at stake here, they can't afford to lie to people.

Your "OMG I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT UNTIL DAN SLOTT SAID IT!!!!" post is full of pure suck up. Just thought I should point that out.

Well, I guess I'll put you back on my ignore list again. This is surprising because even DACMAN's off my ignore list and I'm sure you know that he and I don't get along (do I have to provide proof of this or does DACMAN have to confirm it so you can suck up to him).

I thought that you were one of the smart members on this forum but unfortunately, it seems I was grossly incorrect. Too bad. You're just another one of the internet's elitists with a hidden suck-up side when someone more successful than you comes along and says something (even if it's been said already).

Anyway, enough of this. I've said what I felt like saying and I don't care if you respond back or not.

There goes Spidey-boy and his character wish lists lol

What's wrong with his wish lists? :P I like them. I'd love to see Mr. Negative, The Spot, Jack O Lantern, and Morlun in here.

[Nathan]

Can't we all just hug each other and get along?

[Ryuuie]

Can't we all just hug each other and get along?

I don't want to hug anything. :P He's on my block list, I said what I felt and I'm done so..yea. :x

I'm trying to see if the photos in http://www.denofgeek.com/games/458769/spiderman_shattered_dimensions_preview_and_intervi ew.html are new or not.

The Amazine photo looks new but I'm not sure.

I guess I'll add it to the megathread then. Thanks. :)

I wish we could embed images on HeroHQ... :/ It would really make things look a bit better.

[LightningFlash]

so i do wonder if these 13 villains will be all "spider-centric" villains, or if some will be borrowed from other hero's rogues galleries. like... doctor doom, mephisto, juggernaut, absorbing man, thanos, galactus, etc...


assuming they are all villains in spider-man's rogues gallery who would you expect to be in the game?

HAVE:
-Kraven (616)
-Hammer Head (Noir)

Characters who have the greatest chances:

-Green Goblin (616, noir, 2099, ultimate, earth x, MC2, 1602, House of M, zombies)
-Hobgoblin (616, 2211, MC2, ultimate)
-Electro (616, house of M, zombies, MC2, Reign, ultimate)
-Sandman (616, noir, 1602, house of M, zombies, reign, ultimate)
-Venom (616, House of M, Ultimate, MC2, Zombies, 2099, Reign, Earth X)
-Carnage (616, ultimate, Mc2)
-Beetle (616, zombies, ultimate, house of M)
-Doc Ock (616, ultimate, MC2, 1602, noir, zombies, house of M, reign)
-Vulture (616, noir, 2099, 1602, MC2, House of M, Earth X, Zombies, Ultimate)
-Mysterio (616, zombies, ultimate)
-Rhino (616, ultimate)
-Shocker (616, ultimate, mc2)
-Hydro-man (616, reign)
-Man Wolf (616, Earth X, House of M, MC2, Ultimate)
-Morbius (616, house of M, ultimate, zombies)
-Kingpin (616, ultimate, House of M, Zombies, Return, MC2, Reign)
-Tombstone (616, MC2, Noir)
-Lizard (616, zombies, ultimate, mc2)
-Scorpion (616, zombies, reign, ultimate)
-Chameleon (616, 2211, Ultimate Chameleon, Noir)
-Spot (616, ultimate)
-Mr. Negative (616)
-Swarm (616, ultimate)
-Will-o-the Wisp (616)
-Vermin (616)
-Scarecrow (616)
-Molten Man (616, Ultimate)
-Silvermane (616, ultimate)
-Jackal (616, ultimate, zombies)
-Morlun (616)
-Jack o lantern (616)
-Enforcers (616, MC2, Ultimate, Noir)
-Scream (616)
-Calypso (616)
-Shriek (616)

Now, out of this list... (Scream, Enforcers, Jack o lantern (other then movie scenes in MUA2), morlun, jackal, silvermane, molten man, scarecrow, vermin, will-o-the wisp, swarm, mr negative, spot, chameleon, tombstone, man wolf, beetle (other then ultimate's cameo), green goblin (comic version), hobgoblin, and hydro man) all have either never appeared in a video game, or it's been a very long time since they have. I suspect we will at least get one or 2 of these.

616 obviously has the largest to choose from

noir has... (enforcers, chameleon, tombstone, vulture, green goblin, sandman, and doc ock) as possible villain choices. Of that list, (the enforcers and sandman may have the best bet imo)

2099 has (venom, green goblin, vulture) venom would be surely in, and probably vulture too. the third i doubt would be green goblin, but if not... either another 2099 villain, or they may add a 2011 villain, or do what they did with hammer head and create there own.

i honestly have no clue what the 4th could be, but the list shows there's definately alot to choose from.

Oh boy...so much to read...

I'll pass.

I just want Green Goblin and Doc Ock.

And it might be a nice change to have Carnage and NOT Venom. Or...maybe Spider Carnage...ooo, that might be fun.

http://www.denofgeek.com/games/458769/spiderman_shattered_dimensions_preview_and_intervi ew.html

So, there's a VERY good chance that Mr. Negative will be in the game.

Do you think it'll have a tie-in within the game though? Like, if someone is really into this game and interested, they would have to read up on the other tablets?

I don't want to hug anything. :P He's on my block list, I said what I felt and I'm done so..yea. :x

Isn't that a bit childish to have someone on their block list...on a forum?

This looks new.

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/5764/127768w.jpg (http://img88.imageshack.us/i/127768w.jpg/)

I'm still not very much interested in the graphics they're using...for both Amazing and Noir universes...it all just seems to USM...and I wasn't a fan of it.

And also...I read that Spider-Man Noir had a coat, and in this game it doesn't, and I heard its because they want SMN to be very agile and can move fast...but they didn't seem to have a problem with Batman in AA with that cape.

[Nathan]

I don't think they left out the coat because they wanted him to be more agile. He still has Spider powers, a coat shouldn't hinder him. I think they left it out, because it was troubling to animate, with Spider-Man being able to stick on any surface. It would look goofy when you're sticking on a wall and your coat flaps over your head.

[Ryuuie]

Do you think it'll have a tie-in within the game though? Like, if someone is really into this game and interested, they would have to read up on the other tablets?

It could, I'd like that. It'd be more interactive. Sure it's not like you have to get up and go to the comic store since we have the internet... but you can just...go to your computer and look at Marvel.com for information.

Wow... that sounds really sad. I say it should encourage people to actually go to the comic shop. :P

Isn't that a bit childish to have someone on their block list...on a forum?

But that's what it's there for. lol It's the reason we have such a feature. I haven't seen a forum yet without it (except for the SM3 forums... that didn't even have Search).

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I think they left it out, because it was troubling to animate, with Spider-Man being able to stick on any surface. It would look goofy when you're sticking on a wall and your coat flaps over your head.
The programmers (?) on AA allowed Batman's cape to stay perfectly still, almost like a shell, when he was hanging upside down on a gargoyle. Maybe somebody in charge just thought the coat was unnecessary. :huh:

[ProjectPat2280]

Well cloth animations are difficult to animate, so i can see Beenox just not even doing that.

Thats a cool image up there tho. Looking forward to more footage from SM: Noir.

[ProjectPat2280]

edit

[Ryuuie]

I think his cape does that whenever he hangs upside down despite what media he's portrayed in.

Maybe it just kind of wraps around him or he holds it.

[Nathan]

Doesn't he hold his cape though and wraps it around himself?

Maybe somebody in charge just thought the coat was unnecessary. :huh:

Could be. It's really a shame we're not getting it. Beenox's change makes sense and actually looks cool, but the trenchoat would've been a nice alternate costume.

[ProjectPat2280]

I was thinking the same.

Isnt that what happened in Batman Begins when we first saw Batman?

[Shockdingo]

About the trench coat thing; the AA developers have described Batman's cape designing as hell. It was incredibly difficult from what I've heard online. I can understand why this crew would want to avoid months upon months of grueling work for a component that's found in only part of a game.

[Wolvieboy17]

You should've paid attention to the conference. Not EVERYTHING is "PR speak". They've said it twice outside of the conference even to other websites who reported on what they were told as is their job. You remind me of conspiracy theorists who have their heads in their asses and think that everything is a lie. Everything.

No one has to prove anything to you, I don't really care how much you feel "burned". If you just don't want to believe it, that's your fault. The reason why you feel you are owed is because you're blinded by things that happened in the past. Let it go, move the f**k on. SM3 and WOS were, literally, years ago (be it 2 or 10, it's still years).

If you must know, no Activision isn't paying me. I just use common sense and piece things together, it's not really hard. Considering how much Activision has at stake here, they can't afford to lie to people.

Your "OMG I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT UNTIL DAN SLOTT SAID IT!!!!" post is full of pure suck up. Just thought I should point that out.

Well, I guess I'll put you back on my ignore list again. This is surprising because even DACMAN's off my ignore list and I'm sure you know that he and I don't get along (do I have to provide proof of this or does DACMAN have to confirm it so you can suck up to him).

I thought that you were one of the smart members on this forum but unfortunately, it seems I was grossly incorrect. Too bad. You're just another one of the internet's elitists with a hidden suck-up side when someone more successful than you comes along and says something (even if it's been said already).

Anyway, enough of this. I've said what I felt like saying and I don't care if you respond back or not.

Ryuuie man, you are all over the place... You spend so much time and energy *****ing about Activision, and now you're all pro this game, you attack anyone who approaches an Activision game with the same cynicism? Have some perspective, and have some respect. Your attitude towards ProjectPat was totally unfounded... And calling him a suck up for respecting Dan Slott over a PR person is just stupid... thats like someone not buying into a producer but having faith if they hear something directly from the directors mouth, and is completely valid.

I think, if we're looking for people to attack, Activision deserves it a whole lot more than Pat, or indeed any posters on the forum, so again, lets keep things in perspective.

Also, do we even have confirmation that that actually WAS Dan Slott, just out of curiosity... there have been false posters on the Hype before (like someone claiming to be Jon Favreau when IM 1 was coming out)

[Ryuuie]

Ok, look, I know you want to bring this up and defend Pat but when someone says they're done with it, they're done. But if you must bring it back up...

I'm not "attacking" anyone.

I'm sick of Pat's passive-aggressive posts towards me. I'm sick of hearing his idiotic "I don't believe it because Activision says it!" attitude when he had no problem listening to them for M:UA 2 which wasn't that long ago. His sucking up (which is exactly what it was) to Dan Slott was the last straw.

As I said to him, not everything is PR as the 13 villains thing was confirmed a day before Wondercon by two other websites, Beenox just said it again at the conference.

So, you want to attack Activision? Yea, they f**ked up on M:UA 2, yea, they f**ked up on SM3, yea they f**ked up on WOS...but that's called "in the past". If you want to b*tch about something for this game, ***** about how you don't like the four dimensions or something. To be honest, I'm sick of hearing him b*tch because OMG ACTIVISION DIDN'T DO A GAME 2 YEARS AGO RIGHT!! ... Yea so? That's not what this thread is about, is it? No.

I defend no one from Activision, but I'm sure as hell not going to ***** about an old game that was pretty *****ty in the first place when there's something new coming out that there's better things to complain about.

To be honest, I have lost respect for Pat and he will not be removed from my list, I don't care how much you defend him. That will not happen. He does not deserve my respect (or pity for that matter).

Yes, that WAS Dan Slott, he posts here on SHH!.

Again, if he's too stupid to listen when he's told three times (no matter if it's the fabled "PR speak" or not), then that's his damn fault.

So, again, done with this. Pat's not coming off my ignore list and that's that. Defend him all you want, it won't change anything.

[Shockdingo]

So anyways....that new picture would make a nice poster. Oooh! You know what would be awesome? If in the choose your dimension parts or even just the overall "Next level Loading" We'd have a snapshot of that dimension in the style of a comic cover. :woot:

[Havok83]

Do you guys think that after you beat the game, they will allow us to play as any Spiderman in any dimension? I hope that this is an unlockable feature

[Nathan]

It would be cool, but I could imagine that it could be a problem with someone like Spider-Man Noir. He's heavily based on stealth and his levels are build around that. Wouldn't he be screwed when he gets to Amazing's jungle?

[Havok83]

it would definetly make for a challenging scenario. I think playing as him in the jungle would be fine. Its the others in the stealth levels that might be more of a problem.

[Nathan]

True, if you have to remain hidden, it could be difficult because the other Spideys don't have stealth takedowns.

[spideyboy_1111]

There goes Spidey-boy and his character wish lists lol

its not a wish list at all... I'm trying to guess who the full list of 13 villains may be.

[Kelly]

Mod Warning:

First of all, thank you to those that are trying to continue their discussion...

To those that would rather fight, and call names. If you keep it up, you will not get to play on this playground any longer....

Play nice, or move on.

[LightningFlash]

Do you guys think that after you beat the game, they will allow us to play as any Spiderman in any dimension? I hope that this is an unlockable feature

I wouldn't mind playing as Spider-Man Noir throughout the entire game.

Wait, holy crap...the teacher that "Stand and Deliver" was based on, DIED????

:(

[THE LIZARD#1]

I think it would be pretty tight if they somehow wrote the Lizard into Kravens section. I would love to fight the Lizard in a jungle/swamp setting. Something similar the Spectacular Spider-Man issue #239. It's awesome when Ben fights the Lizard in the everglades, its a pretty epic battle.

It would be cool if Activision could recreate something like that.

[Doctor Octopus]

I'd love if they made Dr Octopus and Osborn in cahoots together. That would be fantastic. They're both super smart scientists, bat s*** crazy, and power hungry.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Part of the SHattered Dimesnsions panel. Chris Barnes looks so different (in a cool way) than he used to, but still sounds the same. :up:

How come the title to this thread never got changed?

[LightningFlash]

Oh, it's changed in the Noir Universe...

this is the third, unnamed universe though...so we're still lost until Activision shows us off in a new trailer.

Yes, that most likely sounded lame, but I wanted to get one more post in before I went to sleep, haha.

[Wolvieboy17]

Dw Lightningflash, when you wake up, you can edit the joke until its funny ;)

[ProjectPat2280]

How come the title to this thread never got changed?


I made a post about it, but never contacted a mod, i figured they would of been able to figure that out on their own.

[Gamma Goliath]

Oh okay. Its no prob. I found it odd.

[Mario_Galaxy]

Ugh, I can't help it. I'm looking forward to this. Anyone have an idea as to when we'll find out about the third universe?

[Jick09]

June, I think.
There's some comic convention in June.

[Sam Fisher]

We could find out at E3.

[socool]

one website said E3 was the announcement of the third universe...so June 3rd?

[Mario_Galaxy]

My fantasy is that one of the worlds is 1602, with maybe some Assassin's Creed 2 type of gameplay. Plus Norman and Ock are prominent in that world. I doubt it highly though :(

[0neDisturbedSOB]

My best guess would be 2099 and the Manga universe. I think both would make for interesting Spider-Man game play.

[Ajendo]

Lol Barnes looks like a thug.

Developer Diary: The Concept of SM:SD

April 26, 2010

http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/5070/noirstealthcthumb.jpg (http://img52.imageshack.us/i/noirstealthcthumb.jpg/)

Thomas Wilson (Creative Director), and Stephane Gravel (Producer) at Beenox talk about the concept behind Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.

What was the main idea that drove the concept of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions?

Right from the get go, we asked ourselves: What would get people excited about the next Spider-Man game? What would get them genuinely interested and talking to their friends about it? Listening to feedback and reviews from previous titles, it did not take long before we realized gamers and fans alike wanted variety. Most importantly, a lot of them wanted the next installment to stray away from open-world game design. Following these observations, it appeared the answer lied in something we had not seen before. We started digging into the entire comic book universe of Spider-Man for something other developers might have missed. As we dug deeper in our research we realized there existed multiple versions of Spider-Man, some of which had not been portrayed in any video game ever. We eventually came to the conclusion that delivering on the concept of playing multiple (therefore new) versions of Spider-Man would provide the fresh, new experience everyone has been waiting for.[/size]

What was the main idea behind the art direction for the game?

Once the core concept of exploring multiple dimensions of the world of Spider-Man was established, the idea of presenting them in their own unique art direction came naturally. Our goal was to get gamers’ attention right when the first screenshots would be revealed. We therefore spent some time with our Technical Art Director, Pascal Brulotte, and Chief Programming Officer, Sylvain Morel, to determine the feasibility of rendering multiple art styles within one game. Time passed and as we reached visual prototype, all teams got really excited about the end result.

Why did you guys decide to do four different universes instead of focusing on one unique one?

Our decision was motivated by the need to offer something new to gamers, something that would appeal to hardcore fans of Spider-Man and attract newcomers as well. Variety was the key here. We were fully aware fans would want to play the Amazing Spider-Man and the other universes we had selected, although quite unique in there own right, would not resonate as much if isolated into one product. At that point in time, offering a window of each universe struck us as the best idea (we even had five at the time!). It was even more appealing once we started talking about having a unique art direction for each dimension. Early tests proved that we could do it, and that got us excited: we had our main selling point.

http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1593/amazingaltercq.jpg (http://img52.imageshack.us/i/amazingaltercq.jpg/)

Did the four different universes require different game engines?

Nope. We have an extremely versatile engine and an incredible technology department to back it up. Once the different art directions were established on paper for each dimension, internal tests started to see if we could mimic them on screen. What our game needed the most were multiple rendering techniques, and we quickly found out our engine could support them all.


Of the four universes, which style was the easiest to establish? Which of them was the hardest to define?

I would say that Noir and another universe we’ll announce later were not that hard to establish, technically speaking. On the other hand, the style for the Amazing universe gave us some headaches. Our initial vision was to transpose the vintage comic book look, including the typical printed-dot patterns and old-paper texture. After a few unsuccessful tests, we came to the conclusion that these full-screen filters were not working well with moving imagery. We went back to our original inspiration, re-evaluated our techniques, and found a visual treatment that delivers the look and feel we are going for. In retrospect, I must say I am quite satisfied with the end result.

[ProjectPat2280]

That first screen shot is awesome.

[Xploited]

That first screen shot is awesome.
It's just concept art.

[MikeFrost]

Definatly hope that you're able to pull guys up and carry them around with you do in that concept. Something like Metal Gear Solid where you carry the bodies around and hide them.

[Gamma Goliath]

I don't know much about the noir version of spider man, does he actually have powers?

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, I think he has a lot of similar powers to 616 Spidey

[Nathan]

Is Spider-Man Noir actually the only one that has powers in the Noir comics?

[THE LIZARD#1]

I really hope Neil Patrick Harris voices Amazing Spider-Man. However, a lot of places are reporting that Josh Keaton is doing the voice for Amazing. Has this been confirmed anywhere? Youtube, wikipedia, etc, etc, are all saying it has been confirmed. I know these are not reliable sources but to have everyone talk about the samething made me wonder if it was confirmed.

Anyways, if Josh Keaton does voice Amazing, its a win win situation for me. I like both voice actors, just kind of hoping for Harris because of the trailer.

[venom892]

Both Neil and Josh would be awesome choices.I hope both are in the game in some fashion.

[ProjectPat2280]

Both Neil and Josh would be awesome choices.I hope both are in the game in some fashion.


Yea, i want Josh Keaton in the game. He was fantastic in Spectacular. NPH i could take or leave.

[Jick09]

Is Spider-Man Noir actually the only one that has powers in the Noir comics?
I wouldn't really call it power, but Sandman is really strong and resistant.
He crushed the skull of a man with his bare hands and barely felt anything when Spidey punched him. Actually, Spidey's hand got hurt when he did that.

But Spidey is pretty much the only superpowered in his stories. I don't know about the other Noir heroes.

[THE LIZARD#1]

So I downloaded the trailer off of PSN and am really excited for this game now! The frame rate was smooth and the comic book art style looks a lot better on a T.V. screen then a computer screen. Here's hoping this is the first Spider-Man game to live up to its promises. (Since Spider-Man PSX and Enter Electro)

Agreed. I wasn't very fond of Neil's Spidey voice for some reason.

Man, I really want this game to be good, I won't say that Spider-Man WOS was bad, but it's the same old stuff that we've seen already, the combat was good, but the game itself suffered from alot of flaws. I'm hoping this linear approach is a little better

We'll see. Maybe the open world was just too much for Activisions sub par developers to handle.

GTTV Trailer (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/episode-312-gametrailers-tv/100110). Should be interesting.

[Dark_Lord]

Geoff Keighley (GTTV host) confirmed (on twitter) that the villain they'll reveal is Goblin. Since they won't reveal any of the other universes until E3 and Comic-Con, I'm guessing Goblin is a villain in either the Amazing, or Noir universe.

Anyway...The episode should be posted on GameTrailers.com tomorrow.

Did he say which Goblin? Hoping its Norman.

Nope. Just Goblin. I'm guessing and hoping it's Norman, as well.

Watching it now! Gameplay looks amazing!

Finally, a Goblin! I don't care which one, either, I'd be happy to see both of them. They are very underused in Spidey games.

Although I'm going to guess it's for the Noir universe, because I'm pretty sure Norman's just referred to as Goblin in there.

Yea, it was Noir. The level takes place in a Carnival.

[Ryuuie]

Yes, it was Green Goblin (referred to both as Norman Osborn and Green Goblin).

They're using his mutation from Spider-Man Noir and having it further spread across his body to disfigure him more. Pretty much he's a much less cartoony version of Goblin from USM and didn't hurl fireballs.

Marvel said it was ok to put this in the game and they apparently liked it. :P So ***** to them if you don't like it.

HOLY *****! :wow:

I honestly wasn't expecting much but after seeing that preview...I'm blown away!

This actually might be the Arkham Asylum for Spider-Man fans! I hate to make the comparison but it’s inevitable. Everyone holds Arkham Asylum to be the bar for all super hero video games.

I honestly think, this has the potential to take the crown.

The boss battles look amazing! In my opinion, they look to be designed a lot better. In AA you simply just jumped around and hit the guys. In Spider-Man you have to swing up to rafters before Kravens spikes go off. Battling Hammerhead you have to constantly be fighting for salvation in the shadows. It looked amazing!

Beenox is looking to implement the mechanics to their fullest. I mean fire works giving away your position! Fighting Goblin at a carnival! The first person cut scenes also looked great. The graphics to blew me away. I was surprised they looked as good as they did.

I'm also surprised that I actually like the web combat for Amazing. At first I was thinking "What the hell are they doing? That's not Spider-Man." Now, after seeing it in motion, I approve their design choice.

Really can't wait for the two other dimensions. I promised myself I wasn't going to but I can't help it...I have high hopes for this game.

[The Guardian]

I'm really liking what I've seen so far, the combat looks fun and the design choices look great, I approve!!!:o:awesome::up:

[THE LIZARD#1]

Now all I need is the Lizard to be featured in this game and I'll be set! :D
