Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (Noir Spider-Man holy shit!)

Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions

So this was announced like,just now.

It basically gives us 4 different Spider-Men in 4 different dimensions. One of them is a fucking Steampunk Spider-Man (who actually has a real comic,you can google it).

I am absolutely stoked for this game. Did you notice how Noir/Steampunk Spidey has realistic graphics? And how Amazing Spidey is all cartoony cel-shaded? I bet every Spidey gets his own graphical style like that.

DISCUSS!

    Color me very interested. Batman: AA gave me a thirst for some more comic book games.

    The white "anti-shading" in the Noir play seemed a tad excessive though.

    It's not steampunk. That dimension is probably based off that miniseries set during the Great Depression.

    Based off of the title, I'm going to guess that the game ends with all four spidermen joining up to fight some force that threatens all of their worlds.

    Actually, I'd be shocked if it didn't.

    Wow, this looks pretty fantastic. But is the Noir Spiderman really "realistic"? It looked more like the cel-shaded one, but with darker colours.

    On the one hand, interesting.
    On the other hand, they do seem to be trying to gimmick Spiderman games until they find one that sticks, instead of trying to polish the basic structure.
    On the third, withered, malevolent hand: Activision.

    That was pretty cool.

    But what are the other 2 versions? I can't really say Ultimate Spidey is that different from default Spidey.

    Maybe Spider-Man 2099 and medieval Spider-man?

    I just don't have faith in Spider-Man games anymore, so maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. But this seems to just be taking whats wrong with the last few games and compounding them.

    I'm guessing the fourth one is evil.

    Also, the multiverse will be represented by a giant web of realities.

    What were the newer spidey games like? Think the latest I played was Spiderman 2 and I remember the swinging being pretty awesome.

    Every game since Spidey 2 has devolved the swinging and I think in some cases limited it by story progress, had limited rogues gallery, not really had very impressive graphics and have struggled to enhance the combat at all. Fighting on hte wall in WoS was a nightmare.

    But, in WoS defence, it did have a truly evil ending in a Spider-Man game. I give it credit for that.

    2099 has got to be a given. Now I can't remember ... is Amazing Spider-man in the main dimension / universe? The one with Civil War, Skrull invasion, all that shit that went down with Osbourn? I want to say 616 ... but hell, color me impressed if Amazing's not, and they leave out the main universe entirely.

    Spider-Man 3 was buggy, had fail-and-die QTEs, and simplified the web swinging that made Spider-man 2 awesome.

    Ultimate Spider-Man had the best story IMO (based on the, well, Ultimate Spider-Man comic) and wasn't as buggy as 3, but still had the same simplified webbing.

    Spider-Man: Web of Shadows had good combat mechanics that the previous Spider-Man games were weak at (There was one boss battle against Vulture, where you spent most of the time airbore, and it worked) and I kinda like the story/VAs, but Manhattan was pretty empty beyond the main story line and combat-focused side quests, and it had QTEs and the nuetered web swinging.

    So yeah, I would say most of the Spider-man games since 2 have been good (except 3, that was okay at most) but none of them have been great since Spider-man 2.

    I though WoS had the best combat of them all (or at least the funnest, being able to zip-line at foes,) and wall fighting has always been a pain.

    Well thats what I'm saying. Rocksteady might only have 2 games so far but they're two awesome games. With Spider-man since 2 they just seem to be doing the Sonic method of throwing gimmicks at it.

    3 had the symbiote and the QTEs, WoS had the symbiote, QTEs and symbiote versions of regular heroes.

    I just want 2, with an upgraded city, good side missions and even more rogues.

    And not the Spider-Man 2 story. But instead they waste 2-3 years at a time churning out mediocrity.

    So in addition to Spider-Man Noir and 616, what else could they use...

    Ultimate and 2099 are good bets. Spider-Man 1602 might be the best bet actually, since it's more recent than 2099. How about Spider-Man India? Or Mangaverse Spider-Man. Everybody would love that.

    End of it powered up him and Banner and had 1602 Ironman land in America, sequel had him fighting Dinosaurs as The Spider with Banner doing stuff as the Hulk and Tony going around as Lord Iron. Pretty decent sequel.

    It will be the star of Broadway's Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.

    Spider-Man 1602: There was also a more recent mini by Jeff Parker that had Peter leave America and encounter 1602's Dr. Octopus. It was also rather good.
