Spider-Man: Edge of Time - Part 1

[Anno_Domini]

No, it isn't, because again, they were made by different people. It is more like saying Prototype is a spiritual sequel to Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, or MUA is a sequel to X-Men Legends 2. Essentially, in creative design, it IS a sequel, or if different wording makes it easier to understand, the 2nd installment in the Beenox series. Saying they don't deserve to make a second game is pretty unfair too, because with the restrictions Activision puts down, who could possibly make a perfect Spidey game straight outta the gate? If they did some things right in SD, which you yourself admitted, why not give them a chance to build on the weaker aspects?

Spiritual successor is probably the perfect word for Edge of Time. Much like Red Dead Redemption is with Red Dead Revolver. Taking the "better" parts, but not saying it, in any way, is a true sequel.

I still stand behind with what I said about a SD 2 though. Shattered Dimensions seemed just like an one-off, and at least wouldn't feel like wanting a sequel, and that's how I felt as soon as I finished the game. It wasn't like Assassin's Creed or Arkham Asylum where I wanted a sequel at that very moment or even wanted a sequel down the line. It was a fun game, sure, but nothing momentous to make me want a sequel for it.

Wasn't Prototype Activision anyway?

Activision definitely has some gems, I'll give them that. And they don't usually make yearly games for every franchise they have, and Prototype shows it. Sure, Prototype 2 was shown off in 2010, a year after the first installment came out, but they're still polishing it up and releasing it next year. Maybe Radical Entertainment have been standing up for themselves and insists that they take time for the Prototype games, lol.

Also, calling someone else out on whether they played Final Fantasy, did YOU play SD yet? :P

I think that when people wanted a sequel, they simply wanted a game in the same continuity. Thats all I would've wanted from a sequel anyway. The storyline wasn't anything to continue anyway.

Shattered Dimensions to me was a fun one-off. I enjoyed it a lot at the time and I have replayed some levels again. I think it is more of a love letter to fans in terms of fan service. A "What-if: four Spider-Men met" team up. Good enough.

The ideal for me is if they'd stick with the continuity they create with EoT in the future. Not so they can keep on going with the multiple Spider-Men shtick but so we can get some nice character development over the course of the next games, and some references perhaps.

It's nice to want things.

Villains you want to see? Allies?

I personally would like to see an actual Green Goblin and Doc Ock like he's supposed to be.

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Umm....don't mean to sound like a jerk, but shouldn't this be in the main Edge of Time thread?

 

[OmarBatGeek]

Haha maybe Beenox should stick up for themselves, too. xD I think it's a good thing Beenox is using the same engine, because this time they already have half of the work done, which should (in theory) give us a better game, this time around.

 

[OmarBatGeek]

Maybe. But this is more specific and there's all kinds of other topics being talked about in that thread, so I figured if I posted a separate thread I might get some discussion going about this topic. Instead of Activision being dumb and whether it's a sequel and all that xD

 

[Oscorp]

Anyone knows if there will be any gameplay footage from EoT at E3, like Arkham City had?

 

[OmarBatGeek]

EoT gets their discussion time on Wednesday. We'll probably get some more footage then.

 

[Anno_Domini]

This doesn't need its own specific thread....so your chances of this thread being closed is about 99.9%.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

In answer to your question, no, I don't think we'll see any gameplay footage at E3 that even remotely resembles the Arkham City footage

 

[OmarBatGeek]

@Wolvie: Haha well you have a point there xD We'll see, though. Contrary to (seems to me) just about everyone else in this thread, I'm pretty excited and have high hopes for EoT.

@Anno: Well obviously, thanks for that insightful comment.

So anyways... What characters do we all want to see in EoT?

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Other than my obligatory "Green Goblin and Doc Ock" demands, I would like to see Hydro-Man and the Spot, because they could bring something new to the boss battles, have never been in a video game before like Anti-Venom, and would fit the science lab setting.

As for 2099, I would like some rogues from the original comics, such as Flipside, Venture and Risque, Data Pirate, and the Specialist, to show up. One of the complaints in SD was that 2099's rogues were either unpopular or made up, so this would address those.

Guests allies? Other than secondary civilian NPCs, no thanks.

 

[Anno_Domini]

I would like to see a better Spider-Man game, haha.

 

[spider13]

I would like people to stop saying this game sucks before the play it, but we all can't get what we want.

I would like to see some of spidy's supporting cast in this game.

 

[Anno_Domini]

OOOOOOO!!!!!! I have another one!!!!

I wish fans would not be fine with mediocre games.

 

[spider13]

You don't know it a mediocre game.

 

[Troy_Parker]

OOOOOOO!!!!!! I have another one!!!!

This. This is the ****ing reason why these damn companies churn out this crap annually.

 

[spider13]

That doen't make any sense, Friend or foe sold less then 200,000. That was a **** game with **** sales.

 

[Anno_Domini]

You don't know it a mediocre game.

A lame-ass story = mediocre game.

They create these odd games instead of giving fans a true, 616 Spider-Man game. That's the only way such a game WOULDN'T be mediocre. Oh, and no, or NOTHING remotely close to, symbiotes. We have both Venom and Carnage in the only great Spidey game, so now we need to focus on GG. As with Joker being the main villain for Batman in these Arkham games, we need to finally see Spidey's only archenemy.

Because everyone was tired of the film series <--- that's your answer.

 

[spider13]

I agree with the gg needing a video game that makes the boy shine.

I don't even care In all honesty, I will care after I play the game.

Who's talking about that piece of ****. LOL.

I'm talking about games like Shattered Dimensions and Web of Shadows.

They should probably take a cue from the guys who made the Arkham Asylum and Assassn's Creed games.

I hope you realize we won't win. If we keep buying these games, they make money and make more of these. We stop, they think the franchise is weak and we don't get another game until Activision loses the license (at least 2017)

 

[spider13]

My point is that game was trush the fans even showed them that they thought is was trash, yet we got wos in about a year. So they keep making games every years because they want to not because the fans are fine with a mediocre. Sd was not a mediocre game it was a great game either it was good soild 7 rating.

During the Sony press conference, while talking about games for the Move, they showed the Spider-Man logo, among others. Edge Of Time will support move?
