Thanks a bunch for the link bro. My thoughts on the video, um spoilers? I guess? I'm not really spoiling anything, but I guess if you don't want to know ANYTHING about the game, don't scroll down??

I think this has the potential to be the best Spider-man game, and not just because it's in 3d, the very concept of alternate dimensions which offer new play styles instead of cosmetic changes, will force creativity and invention of new play mechanics. It's always been the mainstream Spidey we see, but with Noir, now we're seeing stealth injected without it coming off as random, insane, and playing off similar titles in circulation. The story hopefully is great, (well Dan Slott is writing it, so I'm pretty satisfied already), the enemies hopefully get an awesome presentation, and hopefully there's tons of replay value, and you get a bang for your buck.
Right off the bat, what I liked when I saw the Amazing-verse was not just the rich graphics, but his power. Spider-man really felt skilled and powerful in this game. I mean usually you see his strength in a typical videogame sense (punch badguys off screen like in any good ol Final Fight or streets of way style), but here, you saw a ground pound and guys flying back, we saw interesting webbing effects and more!
I'm sooo excited to finally fight Kraven! Also speaking of Kraven, the fact that he's fighting him in his environment will get us a new location. I always love New York, but I've wanted to see how Spidey would interact and move in a variety of different environments. Looking at some of the past Marvel games, you get to go to the Arctic, the future, labs, jungles, etc. With Spidey, we often see him in the city, and have a few deviations with aforementioned labs and such, but a jungle environment, 1930s big Apple? That could make for some cool moments.
One thing, awesome job to Mr. Barnes; great voice actor! He's doing what I would hope for, he's using a different voice per incarnation. His noir voice sounds completely different than Amazing's.
This game...this game is beautiful! I can't wait to see what else is there. I don't even know what I want! I'm soooo excited! Whoo!
....Game? I think I may love you.
