Finally a spider-man game that looks stunning and actually tries to look good.

Fun fact: the Guy that voices Noir voice acted the 90s Spider-Man cartoon.

Does this mean I have to say goodbye to free-roam Spidey?

It is confirmed that you will play as four Spider Men each with their different gameplay.

What? How is free roaming ala GTA throughout the city a bad thing? I loved Ultimate Spider-Man simply for that.

Now that I think about it...Arkham Asylum gameplay Spider-Man would work out okay.

I'm looking forward to this

They would really need to improve on Arkham Asylum gameplay to make it non-limiting on Spidey. A great combat system is what holds Spider-Man games back, free roaming is a fantastic feature for him.

Lol at free roam being bad. That was literally the only gameplay element that made Spider-Man 2 worth playing past the 8 hours or so that the main plot took to beat. And it certainly helped with Ultimate and 3 as well. I've seen reviews that are nostalgic for those mechanics (which were executed the best in 2), so it's not just me.

Combine what Moo said with an upgrade and tweak on Spider-Man 2's web swinging mechanic (and general movement such as Web Zips, Crawling, Wall Sprinting, Air Tricks), and we'll have ourselves the best Spidey game yet.

Spider-man 2 was plagued with horrible combat, or rather, useless foes. The combat itself was decent, but the foes were piss easy. The rest of the gameplay was good though. Pizza delivery missions were cool. Side-quests like that, while seemingly out of place in a game like Shattered Dimensions, should be there IMO.

WoS, though I haven't played it, looks alright. Apparently the web-swinging mechanic is somewhat of a throwback to older Spidey games, which bloody sucks.

Playing with 4 different styles might be a little too much though. Assuming that the 4 styles are unique (with certain similarities such as crawling and stuff) I hope the game is very long, or at least has enough gameplay to let people get used to each of the styles.

That said, if they're going to make it free-roam in basically 4 different areas, it'd be fricking sweet.

I didn't even think about WoS's swinging until after I was halfway through the story.

You should really rent Web of Shadows at least. It's a buy for it's fantastic combat if you ask me, but always rent things first. It even had really cool wall combat.

Yeah this is basically Batman Arkham Asylum only spiderman, and thats what I like about it Only good spiderman games were the PS1 game and the PS2 spiderman 2 movie game, free roam was fun and the Ock battles I had...amazing

From the trailer, the gameplay might be pretty good, what with the web ball throwing and stuff.

I have to disagree. The free roam aspect is what made the, Spiderman games worth playing. Well, that and the incredible swing physics and animations. Being able to freely roam New York as a vigilante not only makes sense, it's what every super-hero fan wants to be able to do. The free roam was great. Not being able to do anything other than swing around is what made the games shit. If you didn't want to play the poorly written story quests you could patrol the city and save civilians. However, little focus went into this as there were only a half dozen or so events that encouraged you to save people. These events repeated themselves over and over and coupled with the questionable combat system, this stayed entertaining for only so long.

Perhaps if the stories were interesting and the story quests were well designed the games may have been worth playing. Do you really think this game is going to be any different? Given this franchises track record. I'm going to assume that the developers simply took out the free roam because it's the most time consuming aspect of the game in order to pump out yet another piece of shit, quickly

Yeah, I should get WoS. After playing the earlier SM installments fairly religiously, I never picked it up.

But honestly, if you're not swinging around a cityscape or other large environment, what's the point? All that's left is a hyped-up fighting game, not an actual SM game. So I'll partially co-sign the above comment. I don't make judgements before I've played a game, but if they remove too much of the web-swinging mechanics, it's going to alienate a lot of people.

BAUMP.

i) 3 new villains are revealed in a recent SM-SD video: Kraven the Hunter (Amazing), Goblin & Hammerhead (Noir). Steroids is the first thing that comes to me mind.

ii) The 3rd Dimension will apparently be the 2099-verse. Top-of-the-wrist spinnerets, here we come.

No surprises there, though might be fun to play with Miguel, considering he can bite people and paralyze them. Telescopic vision being included would be ossum.
Looks like Miguel's cape isn't available. Wish they include it into his arsenal. Falling off from the top of a skyscraper & kissing the pavement whilst suffering little to no damage, would be a cute little addition for 2099 Spider-Man. Then there's gliding with it as well...

iii) You guys think that we'll still get free-roam since we basically have four different dimensions to play in? It's certainly possible IMO. Maybe one area, where we can choose which version of Spidey we want to play with.
4 different versions of NYC for the 4 different dimensions would be my preference though.

Nice screens! This game look's good.

Awesome.

The developers stated there is still free roam. So i assume for all of them

Can't wait for some gameplay vids.

This puts my mind at ease. I'll be buying this now. The 2099 screenshots are also delicious.

E3 Trailer

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=video&show_id=350532


whats up norman osborn that never happen in Spider-Man Noir.

Escaping from the fireworks to stay in the shadows was impressive. The Noir gameplay reminds me of Splinter Cell: Conviction in the way that he's grayscale/rim light in that shadows and in colour when in the light.

The combat looks good in the Amazing side and the comic artwork is working for it. But its the 2099 is the one thats calling out to me. That free-fall, the visuals and the combat that any preceding Spider-man game should keep.

Edit: In the E3 trailer what's at the end?

Preordered this from Amazong because I want to play as Iron Spider-Man. Hell yes.

strange that they said it had free roam earlier when it doesnt

No free roam?

I'm checking articules on this. I'm pretty sure free roam is still here.

Nope no free roam.

In an interview before the gamplay vids showed up they said there was, but now they are sayign they didn't really mean real free roam.

If you want stealth, play the other games in The SC series. DA and especially Chaos Theory, as CT is the best one so far IMO.

Free-roam in the 2099 verse would have been really sweet. The flying cars and shit alone makes it seem awesome. Sucks that we lose free-roam >__>

Edit: Looks like a symbiote character. Maybe Venom. Likely the Ultimate version.
4th verse could be the Ultimate verse. Then again, Ultimate Spidey plays exactly like Amazing Spidey.

Unless that is the next Spider-man in a heavy symbiote form.. doubtful as they wouldn't show the next one and only hint to the verse by still, points to symbiotes.

Maybe. Though I cannot recall a different version of Spidey where he's already in the Symbiote. Other than Spiderman: The Other where he becomes Poison >__>

Meh. That thing at the end of the trailer looked like it had Venom-eyes.

~ That freefall segment in 2099 reminded me of the GoW3 flying segments XD

If it is ultimate that would be a complete waste, also the symbiote might not be the actual character you play as and might be a hint at a another villian.

Yeah 2099 verse in free roam (and if they did it right) would be the most spiderwin of any game so far.

Maybe the mangaverse Spidey with crazy combat, or this one for PoP gameplay.. Or Spider-woman O.o
Poison or some Man-spider could fit.

Yeah, sadly they aren't putting in Free-Roam in this game apparently. >__>
shitsux. Perhaps the next spidey-game should be in the 2099 verse with Free-Roam and Free-Fall/Gliding.

There are some multi-armed Spider-men in alternate universes, but it wouldn't feel right playing with a multi-armed Spider-Man to be honest.
Also, GameStop is offering a Cosmic Spider-Man costume as a pre-order incentive.

None of them have female body proportions, nor are any multi-limbed.
The black in the third costume could show that it is in-fact like you said, a symbiote Spider-Man. It also looks stockier than the other Spider-Men.

I agree. Ultimate Spidey plays more or less like Amazing Spidey.

True, could be that it is another villain. After all, no Spidey-Game should be without a Symbiote vin

2099 still racking to to be my favourite, and both displaying impressive combat. And do I see some First-person killing?

And now we have the fourth dimension: Ultimate universe with the symbiote Spider-man. The guesses were right. Appears to take its combat from Web of shadows black suit parts. A few other characters shown in that clip too.

The 13 levels, or 3 levels per Spider (and the final one I guess) bugs my somewhat. Doesn't feel like enough really. In my eyes the two new to game universes, 2099 and Noir, won't get as developed as they would in their own separate games. Something Id be a favour to see and play.

Watching those clips with USM makes me sadder that SSM got canceled so soon. Keaton's voice was SO good in this.

^^That's one of the things that sold me on this game, that and the Iron Spidey costume.

kind of on the ropes about this one, I end up buying about every spider-man game just because I've been a spider-man geek for so long but they've all sucked, everything since spider-man 2 has been the same game, I didn't even finish Web Of Shadows, and considering there's no free roam in the different dimensions and Amazing Spider-man and Ultimate Spider-man look like they'll play like every other spidey game I'm thinking I'll end up passing on this one.

big spiderman fan, although the games sucked, besides the free roaming element, WoS was the best spiderman game ive ever played, i think this is going to be good too, i like the FPS elemnet

Bit more shown about the Ultimate verse. (middle of the vid)

can't wait to play as noir version, looks awsome

W-7iyF0bSwI

nice trailer

The game current average is a 82% while not the "arkham asylum" we were looking for but atleast we are heading in the right direction.

82% is a buy in my book. I'm coppin' this tomorrow. Any got some 1st hand experience, tho?

I got it. So far still o nhte first amazing level but I'm really enjoying the gameplay. Also I love running around in scarlet spiders costume.

The personalties and voice work is top knotch also

The Spidey games on the PS1 were good.....well i enjoyed them.

What's the character list for the DS version?

The Amazing Spider-Man World looks a bit like Prince Of Persia (2008) art style

I played this is Best Buy. It was alright...but nothing "spectacular." (+10 points to gryffindor for such a good pun.)


It's not a game that I would buy or rent...it just didn't do anythhing for me.

I played the game. I like it! My only gripe, so far, is the motion capture/animation. Is it me or does Spidey move weird?

Amazing Spidey looks kind of fat.

Also, I now wish they had given 1 level to Amazing Spidey and Ultimate Spidey, and more levels to the other two.
