Title: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Post by: Stoney Mason on March 31, 2010, 02:27:44 AM: It's in the random gaming talk thread but it probably deserves its own thread.

Title: Re: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Post by: Cravis on March 31, 2010, 10:35:30 AM: Here's hoping one of the dimensions is Spider-Man 2099. It looks alright. Shame they have to add gimmicks and can't make an kick ass Spider-Man game.
Title: Re: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Post by: cool breeze on March 31, 2010, 11:48:26 AM: 2099 is already confirmed. Someone posted the Gamestop pre-order bonus costumes and one of them was a skin for the 2099 model. So much for the secret!

The only thing significant about the last one is that it seems a bit more bulky or cartoon-y than the other three.

Title: Re: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Post by: WrikaWrek on March 31, 2010, 12:56:19 PM: It's funny when you hear these devs talk about franchises like Spiderman "People love the comic books, they love the character, and they wanna be this hero. And with this game, you get to be him!"

Why? Because i'm controlling a character that can shoot webs, is that it? Motherfuckers, what makes spiderman so awesome isn't just because of his powers, it's the characters, the stories, the struggle, the connection.

Spiderman games will always be crap until devs stop trying gimmicks and keep focusing on just making the player able to manipulate his powers, and start bringing players into the world of spiderman.

Imagine if the comic book was always just spiderman punching dudes from beginning to end....

Besides getting his powers from a magical spider it looks deeply rooted in reality like Nolan's Batman Universe. Plus Spidey gets a gun :gun

Post by: Ichirou on March 31, 2010, 11:37:29 PM: I'll wait for reviews and impressions, but this looks awesome, especially if you can play as Spider-Man 2099.

So there are four dimensions: Amazing, Noir, 2099, and what's the last one?
Title: Re: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Post by: cool breeze on April 01, 2010, 12:40:35 AM: It hasn't been unveiled yet. 2099 was supposed to be a secret too but the Gamestop preorder bonus gave it away. The last one's model doesn't have distinct features apart from the others. It is chunkier which means it is either a buffer spider-man or more cartoon-y. Better to bet on buffering considering Amazing covers the cartoon/comic version.

bunch of new video of the game. it's looking pretty good.

the Amazing stuff seems like it will focus more on platforming action while Noir is stealth action.

Camera looks pretty bad, especially when on walls. The game engine seems pretty nice, would be nice to see an open-world, Amazing Spider-Man game that looks like that.

Also, Spider-Man 2099's voice is hilarious.

That's Dan Gilvezan, voice of Spider-Man in the best Spider-Man animated series. You wouldn't know that since the show is from long before you were born.

Post by: ManaByte on September 07, 2010, 02:15:10 PM: No. Better than the free-roaming movie games and better than Web of Shadows though.

Kind of reminds me of a 3D version of the old Sega-made Genesis/Sega CD Spider-Man games.

There's some annoying first person combat stuff they do here that's stupid.

Everyone I've talked to is like "what, it's out? I thought it was still months away".

Between this and Batman B&tB, WB doesn't know how to market videogames at all.

If this is good I'll get it when it drops to a more reasonable price since it doesn't sound quite up to AAA standards.

Post by: cool breeze on September 07, 2010, 07:18:50 PM: I had no clue that Batman game was out today too. I saw someone mention there were two superhero games out today and I had to look it up on Gamestop. Even after that I thought he was talking about a City of Heroes expansion pack.

Title: Re: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Post by: Bebpo on October 16, 2010, 02:18:24 AM: Just beat this and it was daaaaarn good. Best comic book game since the golden days of SNES imo. Game is very rough and can be glitchy, but the amount of stages and variety between each one is staggering. All the best marvel characters, lots of great moments, 25+ good boss fights with their own puzzle elements. Some parts are tedious and the combat is a notch below God of War, but the combat/platforming/puzzles/collectables all work together to make a great comic book title. Had a huge grin on my face for a good 70% of it.

If you ever liked comics as a kid or still like them now, then this is a must play imo. It's technically not as good as Batman AA, but I think it's a better comic book game. Plus it doesn't have stupid stuff like ROID JOKER FINAL BOSS.

Title: Re: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Post by: Bebpo on October 16, 2010, 02:43:54 AM: The achievements are pretty good. Got about 60-70% of them first run. I was thinking about 100%-ing it but there are a couple that would be annoying:

-collecting everything in the game (with a guide you'd be good, but there are a few parts where it locks a door behind you so you are screwed if you miss anything)
-beating a boss without getting hit once
-beating all the levels on hard (I play my games on normal!)

Also I'd recommend to not marathon it because the stages are long and it'll get tiresome if you try to do it all at once. If you do a few stages each day it keeps the tedium down and makes the enjoyable parts stick out more.

I didn't play any superhero games between SNES and PS3/X360 for some reason.

Title: Re: Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Post by: Bebpo on October 16, 2010, 05:02:15 PM: I started playing the DS game. It's cool but what's up with the framerate? It feels so weird playing a metroidvania game that runs choppy. Makes the running and jumping feel off.

I'm going to be so glad when we hit 3DS. Hopefully that will be the end of sub 30fps handheld games.
