Spider-Man: Edge Of Time Asks You To Save Yourself
See Full ImageLast year's Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions was a good game, and we're hoping the next Spidey effort from Beenox will be even more entertaining.
Today, Activision and Marvel Entertainment, LLC have announced Spider-Man: Edge of Time, currently in development at the aforementioned studio and slated to arrive this fall.
No specific platforms were announced (strange), but we assume it'll hit the major consoles. Once again, players will step into two separate roles; although there are only two Spider-Mans this time instead of four, as Edge of Time boasts the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. You must "correct a timestream gone awry and prevent a catastrophic future brought on by the early and untimely death of Peter Parker." That's right...you gotta save yourself. Said Beenox Studio Head Dee Brown:
"At Beenox, we are constantly listening to the fans and looking for new and creative ways to innovate the gameplay experience for them. 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."
The game will also boast a new "cause-and-effect" feature, "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." ...man, what are they doing? Going all Heavy Rain in the comic book world? Well, this generation is all about choice and freedom, right? It could work out really well.
Stay tuned for early media and assets.

I hated shattered dimensions due to not feeling at all like Spider-Man and it was uber gimmicky.
All I can say to those Beenox guys, make us feel like Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. They are not the same and I just hope they get it right.

I also thought that SD was the first Spider-Man game that wasn't a fighting game to nail Peter's personality. It was the only Spidey game that made me laugh out loud, which is what Peter does. Heh.

EDIT: Oh, another excellent superhero open world game to mention would be Infamous.

Not to mention that in sd you could web swing when you shouldn't be able to and couldn't when there was no reason not to. The only Spider-Man who had the right voice and attitude was the amazing version which was well done, but the others were definitely wrong.
