Interesting but I can't find what platform it's on.

**Jester** · 04-17-2008, 04:13 PM

Yeah, it is pretty mysterious. I wish i had a next gne consule just for the super hero games.

Hey GK, looks like you get to add another hyphen.

*Cure* · 04-17-2008, 04:15 PM

Yo, can someone please edit the title before GK's head explodes? Hyphens, people!

**GK Punk** · 04-17-2008, 06:26 PM

You know, my first instinct for a response was "Head... exploding." Then "Urge to kill rising" But I had to laugh when I saw that it was already said for me.

But seriously, Urge, Kill, Rising.

Super excited for this. I was just looking this up on SHH. Wait...It doesn't have a release date does it? Hopefully I'll have a ps3 or 360 by the time this comes out. Pretty sure I will.

Looks pretty stupid. And honestly, after the train wreck that was Spider-Man 3, I'm not giving Treyarch the benefit of the doubt on this one.

*Dr. Doom* · 04-18-2008, 12:09 PM

To be fair, all the Spidey games released by Activision since the PSX have been solid gaming experiences. To say the least, I've enjoyed them all. 3 was the first one I heard about that was not well received. I think this one definitely deserves a fair shot.

Agreed. I didn't get a chance to play 3...except for a quick burst on the ps2 version...which was'nt even the same game as the next gen ones anyways. But the team has done some good things with Spidey...this could be when they're finally done with the rough drafts and ready to step it up. And they probably did not have to rush this game since it has no tie in.

Q&A on IGN...here ya go guys...it's brief, but enjoy.

Do you really know how many games that encompasses? If you did, you might not be so quick to say they were all "solid". Activision is only a publisher, they have no hand in how the game actually turns out.

Treyarch, to my knowledge, only developed 4 of the Spider-Man games. And lets be perfectly honest, the first two Spider-Man movie games were varying in degrees of mediocrity, and Spider-Man 3 was completely awful. Their only shining light was Ultimate Spider-Man, but that was a completely different take on Spider-Man games.

Who knows, since this seems to be following more of a comic book design and not the movie, maybe it'll be as good as all the comic inspired Spidey games. Spider-Man on the PS1 and Ultimate Spider-Man being the best examples.

*Dr. Doom* · 04-18-2008, 11:19 PM

I guess it was kind of a gross generalization on my part, I should more specifically say that the main console versions have all been pretty solid. I remember enjoying each of them to at least some degree.

*Spitfire* · 04-19-2008, 02:39 AM

I loved the Playstation Spider-man games as a kid. Neversoft made them if I remember correctly. THey also did Tony Hawk games at the time which I also enjoyed. The Spider-man games still hold up to me so they get some props for that.

When the first Spider-man movie game came out I liked it a lot. I played the crap out of it. Then after it served it's time I shelfed it and eventually sold it. More recently my little cousin had gotten it for his Gamecube and asked me to help him beat a level. This would be the first time I had touched it since the first Spider-man movie was in theaters. It did not stand the test of time. The control was so horrid I could barely move. I felt video game handicapped trying to play it.

When Spider-man 2 came out I nabbed it quick. Having liked the first one and hearing it was freeroam I was excited. The combat was fun, the web swinging was awesome, the random crimes were great*For awhile at least*, except that balloon...I hate that balloon kid! Needless to say I played it a lot and eventually some asshole stole it from me. So I can't say how it holds up now but I have fond memories of it, course I did of the first movie game to till I replayed it.

Then Ultimate Spider-man came out, you can play as Venom, cool comic book style. The combat wasn't as good but the swinging was fun. Getting the costumes was a pain, I hated those Human Torch races. I recently went to play it and my disk was missing, some asshole stole it, again...I believe the same asshole stole one of my turtles DVDs in the same fashion, leave the case nab the goods. Oh will fists fly if I see that boy again. Anyways long story short I enjoyed it, but yet again I'm not sure if it stands up still to this day.

Then Spider-man 3 came out. I bought it pretty fast since I worked at Best Buy and got games for 50 bucks. I played through the whole game and when playing it I didn't think it was to bad. Swinging was fun, combat was alright, black suit was cool, last boss was annoying...Then a few months later I returned to it and it was so god awful I couldn't stand it. I shut it off after about 5 minutes and I've never touched it since. Wish the asshole had stolen that instead.

I'll give this game a chance. It certainly has an appealing style to it. I would hope for a demo but I won't hold my breath.

Your link's messed up cause of the "..."

Hmm, you're right. But sorry, what is the"..."?

poiuytre · 04-20-2008, 07:13 PM

I haven't played a Spidey game since the first one on the Playstation. I'd buy this if reviews are positive enough.

If you wanna get hyped on it, or see what these games have been all about lately, I'd definitely recommend picking up the second movie game.

The dots in between the words makes it inactive.

Look what Gamespot had as their summary for the game...Wonder if they're jumping to conclusions or if they have some insider info.

"Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is an action adventure game that will have you playing as a hero or a villain in a free-roaming environment.
Genre: Action"

I wonder if the people who came up with this honestly don't realise how played out this is, or if they simply don't care.

Peanut · 04-21-2008, 04:42 PM

Some slightly more interesting news on the game from Kotaku.

Oh boy! Another game with choices! I'm sure they'll have a huge impact on the story or gameplay in a significant way, unlike every other game that's been touted to give you morality choices in the last 5 years. Am I right!?
