if im not mistaken, venom threatened to kill sandman's child if he didnt help or something


I always hated that characterization of Venom. Pretty sure Venom wanted to kill Parker so why would he ask for help to do it?
 
That looks interesting. I love how you can see slight folds on the 616 costume. The only thing is the trailer has just reminded me of all the things i hated in SD, like limited control over things like wall crawling and swinging and the really basic combat system. Since it's so combat focused (assuming it's like SD, which it looks like) it would be nice to a deeper combo system.
 
Meh...

The first part of the trailer was cool. The rest was unimpressive imo.

I like the redesign on the Amazing suit. However, it looks pretty much exactly the same as Shattered Dimension. I think I even saw Amazing Spidey about to do one of the (IMO) stupid webslams.

Also, it seems to focus alot more on 2099 Spidey rather than classic Spidey. I don't like that.

However, I loved hearing CDB's voice.
 
Definitely looks like SD. I didn't expect anything else though, even if they did started working on it before they shipped SD. I got SD and I don't think this is going to be worse, so I'm probably getting it.

I would have prefered it if, instead of "Edge of Time", Beenox worked on "The Amazing Spider-Man" game based on the movie. They'd have until Summer 2012 to work on it and they would have focused on one Spider-Man.
 
After watching the trailer several times again I must say that I've quickly changed my mind. It looks cool. Not awesome or great, but still pretty cool. Pretty messy trailer still, though.
 
Only good thing was CDB voicing the hero again.
 
Was annoyed to see the combat had the exact same punching and kicking animations
 
Looks kind of similar to Shattered Dimensions, but it still looks pretty awesome. Like others have mentioned, I like the redesign on Amazing Spider-Man.

I think we're supposed to get some screenshots later, too.
 
The combat looks really good and I 'm glad the graphics for 616 are different.
 
This game seems to be alot more story driven than Shattered Dimensions. Which is definitely a good thing.

I got the feeling after watching the trailer that most of the game will be Spideys vs. Alchemax. I don't think anymore that Green Goblin will appear in this for some reason. I don't know why, it just doesn't feel like that. The corporation of Alchemax seems to be the main enemy here.

I can't wait 'til we get some more info on the villains for the game. I hope Shocker is in :)

Trailer looks nice!
But it seems just like Shattered Dimenions 2. I saw a lot of SD's gameplay, there. No free-roam, that's for sure.

Not sure if I'll get it. If reviews says the story is really good, then I might purchase it.
 
I love the first pic, and the ones with the huge robot.

I thought "Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!" when I saw the last pic though :/
 
Me too, but I liked the first person cutscenes a lot.
 
Meh.

Gameplay and graphics look almost identical to Shattered Dimensions. Only improvement is the look of the Amazing universe Spider-Man.
 
"In the game, Peter Parker works for Alchemax, the sinister corporation that employed Miguel O’Hara in the Spider-Man 2099 comics."

"The game’s action in both timelines takes place within the massive Alchemax headquarters, which Lehiany describes as “almost a city in a building;” poised to include research facilities, hydroponic jungles and more"

Hmm...not liking the sound of that. Peter working for Alchemax? The whole game taking place in the Alchemax headquarters? I wonder how they'll fit in classic villains there.

Otherwise I like what I read in the interview.
 
Alchemax? Is Lady Ock 2099 behind all this then?
 
So it all takes place in a single location? Methinks Arkham Aslyum influence?
 
I wonder if it will be limited sandbox then like Arkham Asylum.

I also wonder if we'll get to play stealthy gameplay again, even though Noir ain't in the game. I loved that in SD
 
IGN impressions. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/115/1159249p1.html

It looks good to me, the game taking place only in Alchemax HQ fills me with hope that its not broken up into levels with a menu screen in between. A little bummed that they changed the look of Amazing, as I thought it was perfect in SD, but it still looks good.

Overall I'm positive about this, one location only means it can have a tighter story. And we already knew they would reuse the combat system. I for one didn't have that much problem with the web-shapes, except for the fist. God damn I hated the fist.

In the first screen shot up there it kinda looks like the attack Eight Legged Fury, only a little different. That was the best move in the whole game.
 
What was different about it?

Much more character development, more scenes of Harry speaking to his father, some insight on pass instances between Eddie and Gwen, the second Spider-Man/Sandman battle is much, much longer(yes, even in book form), Eddie in all black(after he becomes Venom) meets up with Sandman at the park(while Marko is a sandcastle while his daughter, Penny, is playing with it) and that's where Eddie threatens to kill Penny if Marko doesn't help him. Flint Marko is shown to be stealing money for a doctor to cure Penny which was never even shown or talked about during the film, Venom and Sandman fight a bit during the final battle, and, while it's been a while, I don't think Spidey just lets Sandman go this time.

Oh, and there is actually a final swing in the book.


Wow...looks incredibly dumb. Shattered Dimensions V2.0, imo. I'm guessing someone in Alchemax is responsible...yay...:o
