Between the hordes of salivating nerds and squealing fangirls packed into the exhibition hall at San Diego Comic Con, a few truckloads of plasma HD TVs and shiny consoles revealed delectable tidbits of information about upcoming games to anyone coherent enough who passed by.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions took full advantage of its target market’s burning pockets by teasing the crowd with Spider-Man trivia and prizes, gameplay scenes with never-before-announced villains, free t-shirts for on-site pre-orders, and the revelation of the game’s fourth and final dimension–Ultimate Spider-Man.
Marvel confirmed the black symbiote suit of Ultimate Spider-Man for the fourth world with in-game fight scenes against two previously unannounced bosses, Carnage and Deadpool. Ultimate Spider-Man uses the tentacle-rope extensions of its symbiote suit to grab and hit enemies in a more brutal fashion than the Amazing web.
Marvel demonstrated gameplay from all four dimensions, highlighting the classic comic book style of the Amazing universe, the gritty sneak-attacks of Noir, 2099’s neon battles between high-rise rows of airborne traffic, and the fun technicolor of the Ultimate dimension.
Along with Ultimate’s Carnage and Deadpool, Marvel revealed the Juggernaut as a boss for Amazing Spider-Man, Vulture for Noir, and Hobgoblin and Scorpion for 2099.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions will be released September this year for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and DS.
Shattered Dimensions translates well to a HD screen, with each universe offering a unique take on the classic hero, both stylistically and strategically. Which world are you most looking forward to in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions? State your opinion in the comments!
