JackFetch Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 MARVEL™ AND ACTIVISION® ANNOUNCE SPIDER-MAN™: EDGE OF TIME High-Octane, Adrenaline-Fueled Adventure Tasks Players with Saving Spider-Man this Fall Santa Monica, CA – March 31, 2011 –Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Marvel Entertainment (NYSE: MVL) today announced Spider-Man: Edge of Time, where Spider-Man faces one of his greatest challenges ever – saving Spider-Man. Developed by Activision-owned studio Beenox, Spider-Man: Edge of Time challenges the player to take on the roles of both classic Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 to correct a timestream gone awry and prevent a catastrophic future brought on by the early and untimely death of Peter Parker. “The first Spider-Man entry by Beenox, Spider-Man™: Shattered Dimension was touted as one of the best Spider-Man games to date from both critics and fans,” said Vicharin Vadakan, Director, Global Brand Management. “Beenox is once again taking a fresh and different approach to bring a high-octane adventure and unexpected story to life in Spider-Man: Edge of Time.” “At Beenox, we are constantly listening to the fans and looking for new and creative ways to innovate the gameplay experience for them,” said Dee Brown, Studio Head, Beenox. “We want to create a totally distinct experience in Spider-Man: Edge of Time by working with Peter David on the story and creating this urgent, high-stakes experience where time is working against you and the fate of Spider-Man hangs in the balance.” Spider-Man: Edge of Time is a focused, action-packed adventure set in two connected and evolving timelines, from the contemporary times of the Amazing Spider-Man to the corrupted future world of Spider-Man 2099, against the backdrop of a rich, tightly crafted narrative by acclaimed Marvel veteran Peter David (co-creator of the comic book series Spider-Man 2099). The game features all-new “cause-and-effect” gameplay, where players will see how the immediate and sometimes unexpected effects of their actions as one Spider-Man changes the timeline of the other Spider-Man. Spider-Man: Edge of Time is slated for release this fall. Attendees at WonderCon 2011 in San Francisco, CA, can get a sneak peek and learn more about the game on the Activision/Spider-Man panel on Saturday, April 2, at 4:30 p.m. in Room 103.

Molly Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Looks cool, but I'd really like a year without a Spidey game. Give us Hulk or someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 If it's running off the same engine as Shattered Dimensions, I would have really preferred more of Spider-Man Noir. Hell, give us an entire game in the Noir universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 What's with this 2099 obsession? Can't we move on to something else, maybe a clone saga game. Ben Reilly has to be bigger buys than 2099. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 What's with this 2099 obsession? Can't we move on to something else, maybe a clone saga game. Ben Reilly has to be bigger buys than 2099. I agree with Dubs, more Noir. But Spider-Man 2099 was awesome in Shattered Dimensions. Hell, all the guys were fun to play as in SD, except Ultimate Spider-Man. I'm interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Isn't Anti-Venom a Hero? Bah. Why let continuity effect a video game? See a Winter Soldier who remembers being Bucky being a mini-boss in Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See a Winter Soldier who remembers being Bucky being a mini-boss in Marvel Ultimate Alliance. But only if you have Cap on your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Latest issue of Spider-man has him at odds with Anti-Venom again. Really the only difference between old Brock and new is that the new one feels really pious and righteous, there's no change in his twisted reasoning.
