I hope this is one is better than the last two.
I saw my brother playing it and I was like :o (and it wasnt for a good reason).

Lets see how this will turn out to be.

Saw this a while back. TBH most Spider Man games have been a disappointment ever since SNES. (the carnage game was fun when I was a lil kid).

But this game actually looks promising. Lets hope. There is so much room for a good game with Spider Man. Lets hope it finally lives up to its potential.

Oh dear.

I stopped reading at this point. I will only be satisfied when a developer creates a Spiderman game directly based on the major arcs of the comic, in other words I want a godamn 'The Amazing/Spectacular Spiderman' game. Creating new storyline just doesn't work when it comes to Spiderman, sure you can interpret pre-existing storylines in a number of different and interesting ways; by all means please do. But please don't try to write your own Spiderman story. The only man who could ever (and has made) make this work is Brian Michael Bendis. Until they hire him for story work, I'm steering well clear of this.

Looks good enough for me! anyone else have thoughts?

Already a topic mate :P

Unfotunately, I dont thing any Spiderman game will ever match the brilliance of the PSone title. Ill never forget taking on the foes in my Captain Universe costume, and "What if" scenario was awesome.

awww crap and I was really excited to be the first one, too <_<

hell yes brother! those costumes were half the fun! Plus the plotline was actually like a comic book and everything overall just rocked more

The PS2s and PS3/360 gen Spider-Mans have just ended up being base copied off the movies and lost it's comic book roots that the PS1 titles had. From what I read this Spiderman looks like another stupidly insane combo, pixie dust, arcady hack and slash. With no decent story. But it does look much better than that immense failure, Friend or Foe.

Seriously when are they gonna make Spider-man games innovative? when are you gonna be aloud to actually walk around as Peter Parker and feel the stress of his life trying to keep up with dates and school/work as well as being Spider-man? Imagine this scenario; your walking as Peter then your Spidy Sense tingles and then you see someone in trouble and you have to fid somewhere to change, thats innovative gameplay right there which would allow entrance for deeper story.
And since when has spidy decided to work with enemies and be bad?, unless he's got the black suit.

The Spider-Man game on the PS1 was awesome. They can work well if they have original stories, but trying to beef out a movie plot to fit a game didn't work too well. This one looks like it could be fairly good.

I think will better cos this time the story is from the comic.

The movie games sucked but I thought the 2 ps1 games were great, especially the first one. I just want a great spider-man based on 616.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Q&A
Look out -- here come the folks behind Spider-Man.
by Greg Miller
US, April 18, 2008 - For the last few years, it's been good to be a comic book nerd. Batman's returned to theaters, Marvel's Civil War shook the status quo, and the Iron Man movie actually looks good. Still, Shaba Games and Treyarch have sweetened the pot with the announcement of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.

An action-adventure game pitting Spidey against a global threat, Web of Shadows will let players customize their superpowers, choose sides, and take the battle to the New York skyline thanks to a vertical combat system on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PSP, Wii, DS and PC this fall.

Just 24 hours after breaking the news with IGN and Yahoo!, Activision is back to give you the first details on a project it's keeping very much under wraps. So, grab your web shooters, hang up on Aunt May and let Activision Senior Executive Producer Graham Fuchs and Shaba Games Studio Head Chris Scholz dangle a few tidbits in front of you that are sure to make you want this game even more -- oh, and when you're done here, check out Yahoo!'s Top Five Reasons to Swing Back to NYC.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



IGN: Talk about a megaton -- Spider-Man is back! What exactly is happening in New York and ol'webhead's life in this new game? Where do the players fit in?

Graham Fuchs and Chris Scholz: Yes, it's pretty heavy. New York City has been invaded and martial law has been declared. Heroes are gathering uptown to protect civilians, and villains are grouping downtown to repel the aggressors. It's up to the player as Spider-Man to save the city … by any means necessary.

IGN: The first thing that sprung out at us when we looked at the first screenshot was that Spider-Man's got his classic comic book logo on his back rather than the movie logo. Is this story taking place in the comic book canon? Is it after the start of the Brand New Day arc? Are we completely off base and this is its own story all together?

Graham Fuchs and Chris Scholz: You're right; this game is set in the classic comic universe. We've been given a lot of freedom to come up with our own storyline that fits perfectly with the gameplay we've envisioned.

IGN: We realize you're not ready to show your hand just yet, but we all know that one of the best parts of the Spider-Man universe is his rogues gallery. That screenshot of an alien-looking/messed up Empire State Building looks like the work of a serious bad guy. Will Spider-Man's foe in this game be someone he's faced off with before or someone original for the title?

Graham Fuchs and Chris Scholz: There's going to be a lot of Marvel heroes and villains involved in dealing with the invasion. Some are pretty well known, and some are fan favorites who've never appeared in a Spider-Man game before.

IGN: How do the customizable superpowers work? Is it one of those things where the more you use your powers the stronger they get or are there upgrades you earn by collecting coins or something?

Graham Fuchs and Chris Scholz: Through the upgrade system you're going to be able to build the Spider-Man that suits your play style. For example, if you prefer to attack from a distance, you can upgrade more web moves. If you prefer to get up close and personal, you can upgrade your hand to hand combat moves. The player is in control of how Spidey evolves through the game.

Maybe that'll go away on its own ...IGN: The one thing people always comment on when it comes to the majority of Activision's Spider-Man games is how much fun it is to just swing around New York. What is web slinging like in this game? Is it one button? Do you need to use left and right triggers to choose a direction?

Graham Fuchs and Chris Scholz: The swinging everyone loves will be back, and we continue to make improvements to make it better than ever. We've also put a lot of focus into Spidey's wall-crawling and acrobatics to make his movement through the city more fluid than ever.

IGN: In the past, fighting the forces of evil has had the tendency to get repetitive with Spider-Man just punching and kicking on the ground. What can you tell us about the new vertical combat system?

Graham Fuchs and Chris Scholz: The goal was to recreate the feeling of the battles in the comics that start on the ground, go up the side of a building, and finish on the rooftops. Our combat designer has called this "the most 3D game ever."

This game looks fun. This also looks like a sequel to the PSOne Spider Man Games (Which kicked ass)

doesn't sound to bad,if it turns out to be as good as the ones from the ps1 then it should be fun

honestly I think they need to go back to the linear gameplay

eh....im not to excited yet ill wait to c more about it, but to me the only spider man game i really had fun with was the one for sega, i believe it was called seperation anxiety where you could play 2 players and be spider man and venom

I have found video of the game.

Yessssssss Spidey on Ps1 was awesome. It was actually a really well crafted game.

Cos was from the comics not from movie

The PS1 Spidey games were original stories, they weren't based off either...
