Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Message Board older than one year ago

#clips Spider-Man: Shattered Dimension isn't hitting stores until September 7 in North America, so you've got a week to sit and watch the game's launch trailer over and over again. More »

At a recent preview event for Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Activision had all versions of the game playable but, for the life of me, I just couldn't put the DS game down. Developed by Griptonite, the DS version is heavy on the exploration and features a light, fluid combat system.

The DS game features only three different dimensions: Amazing, Noir and 2099. Lacking the Ultimate realm, the game also puts less emphasis on the differences between each dimension. Spidey's abilities at the outset of entering each dimension are a tad different, but the mix of climbing and combat remains the same.

A short update on the Wii version's few unique controls.

Noir, Amazing and 2099 get into the spotlight.

Slingin' web as Spidey on the go!

Game and comic writer Dan Slott tells us about his involvement in the web-slinger's next outing.

In the shadows of the Spider-Man Noir universe, you can barely even see the Negative Zone alternate costume for Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, but it's definitely there. More »

#gamescom2010 Activision brought a new universe from Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions to Gamescom, one that I was lightly familiar with; the one set in the year 2099. More »

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is like a Costco-size sample platter of four different Spidey universes, but Beenox Creative Director Thomas Wilson wouldn't mind focusing on just one of the wall crawlers for a game. During Gamescom the developer told us that if he could, he would want to focus on Noir or 2099 spidey, but immediately followed it up by saying, "That's not up to us to decide. We're looking with Activision at what's next."

"They're interesting, they're different, they're new," Wilson told us on why he'd choose the lesser-known dimensions. He continued, "I think it would definitely be something interesting." Pssst, Activision -- we agree.

Sure, you've got four different Spider-men to play as in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, but none have been particularly fashionable, wouldn't you say? Today, we're introduced to one of the optional alternate costumes available to those who pre-order the game: Scarlet Spider-Man.

Initially a clone of Peter Parker introduced back in the '90s, the Scarlet Spider Suit is available to those who pre-order the game from Kmart. Swing on past the break for a new trailer of the muscle-tee-sporting lad in action.

The web-slinger returns for another action-packed experience.

Once again, Nintendo fans are left in the dark when it comes to their versions of a multiplatform game. Only now are we getting to see what the games will look like. I’m not posting the full-page scans due to the publication that has these screens, but I feel it’s only fair that [...]

Out of all of Spidey's nemeses, Vulture is unarguably the least threatening. He's an old dude in a feathered, bright green suit. Not exactly menacing, is it? Well, in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions' Noir universe, he's turned a new, upsetting leaf, as evidenced by the vignette below.

It's impossible to hate Stan Lee. No, trust us, we've tried -- it's like the dude's superpower is charisma or something. And in this latest video for Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, we get a glimpse at Lee loosing some of his sultry sounds.

You didn't think that Peter Parker's wardrobe would only contain four outfits in his upcoming outing, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, did you? No, no sir. Revealed during Marvel's Comic-Con panel were a handful of new costumes which will be unlockable in-game, and offered as pre-order bonuses at select retailers.

• Gamestop - Cosmic Costume
• Amazon - Iron Spider Costume
• Kmart - Scarlet Spider Costume
• Best Buy - Negative Zone Costume
• Unlockables - Spider Armor Costume, Mangaverse Costume

Note that the slides announcing the retailer bonuses mention that pre-orders will "get a code to unlock [the costumes] immediately," so it's entirely possible that all these outfits will be available in-game, just not right at the get-go. We'll contact Activision to try and get clarification.

#comiccon2010 The Spider-Man of Activision's Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions has an impressive wardrobe, with an old-school Amazing outfit and a futuristic suit from the year 2099. At Marvel's video game Comic-Con panel today, Spidey's wardrobe rapidly expanded. More »

Activision has announced that Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions will play host to a cavalcade of Spidey-related voice talent. The Spider-Men of each universe will be voiced by actors who have played the web-slinger in the past. Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Keaton, Christopher Daniel Barnes and Dan Gilvezan will voice the Amazing, Ultimate, Noir and 2099 variants, respectively. Harris originally voiced the wall-crawler in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, Keaton had the role in The Spectacular Spider-Man, Barnes played the part in the 1994 Spider-Man animated series and, finally, Gilvezan voiced ol' web-head in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends way back in the early 1980s.

If that's still not enough for the true believers out there, Stan Lee himself will serve as the game's narrator. Meanwhile, Jim Dooley, composer for several games and films (The Da Vinci Code, inFamous), will provide the soundtrack. Now, if only someone at Beenox could find a way to squeeze in Bruce Campbell ...

Activision reveals Spider-Man voice cast at San Diego Comic-Con.

#voice Neil Patrick Harris, the man behind Dr. Horrible and How I Met Your Mother's Barney Stinson, will be the voice of one of the four different Spider-Men in Activision's upcoming Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, according to the publisher. More »

In case your Spider-Sense hadn't already alerted you to the fact, all four of the Spider-Men playable in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions have finally been revealed. (Peter Porker, a.k.a. Spider-Ham was, sadly, not among them.) We've even taken the fourth and final dimension -- the Ultimate Spider-Man universe -- for a spin (and a swing) at San Diego Comic-Con.

Now you can see all of the Spideys and their respective dimensions together in one video. We know, convenient, huh! See, we're all about the efficient delivery of Spider-Man information here at Joystiq. And, er, other stuff too, of course. But for now we're just focusing on Spideys plural. See 'em after the break.
