Neil Patrick Harris Voices (A) Spider-Man In Shattered Dimensions

This is going to suck.. unfortunately. Neil is awesome but spiderman is do'h.

I love NPH but I never could have pictured him voicing in a video game. Never.
And to be quite frank, I'm anything but a fan of this idea.

yes!
it'll be legen... wait for it... keep waiting... hope you're not lactose intolerant cause here comes the dary!

" NPH in a game? SOLD.  Still curious as to why "Symbiote" is called "Ultimate". Will it be based off teenaged Parker from the Ultimate Spiderman series? The symbiote was present for a very short time in those comics. "

" They should get Nathan Fillion as well. Then it would be more like this:

I find your hate for NPH disgusting. "

Thanks for proving my point! "

Thanks for proving my point.  (See I can do it too!) "

Thanks for proving my point! (I wanted to get in on the point proving action) Anyway NPH is one of the funniest actors working right now. I'm glad he's getting work. "

And thank YOU for proving MY point!  Seriously though, had you ever thought that the fact people love NPH is because he is GREAT at what he does? He was 'brought back' and people loved him. Plus I think he is a perfect candidate for the Amazing Spiderman. Spiderman has ALWAYS has a real corny sense of humour in the comics and that's one point I felt that the movies really failed to deliver on. I think NPH could do that kind of homour VERY successfully.  I LOVE to CAPITALIZE my WORDS. It ADDS a little bit of EMPHASIS. "

Neil Patrick Harris is consistently good at what he does, but few people legitimately love him.  If you've been paying attention, you'll have recognized that NPH was brought back into the limelight once more because he wa a "random" celebrity that 4chan could make fun of.   It went from Vin Diesel, to Mr. T, to Chuck Norris, to "That Doogie Howser guy lol!"  Except this time around, NPH capitalized on his newly-found being-made-fun-of.  Very few people LOVE Neil Patrick Harris.  Very few people find his acting exceptional or incredible, and very few have personal feelings associated with him and his work.  People in this thread (and all over the internet) just write HELL YEAH NPH!!!1 because it wins them cool points online.  He's not beloved; he's a meme.  He's infinitely better than Rick Astley, but it's the same thing...Astley's album sales have increased thanks to Rick-Rolling being done over and over and over again to the point where some people don't even realize their love was ironic in the first place.  NPH is getting into everything, even things that he's not right for or don't require him, because he's the new meme and big-name companies want to capitalize on 14-year-olds thinking something's funny if they keep saying it over and over and over and over again.  I honestly feel bad for Harris, because he sees the roles and money raking in and thinking "Wow, people must really like me!  What a comeback!"  And while it's there it's not really because of his ability, it's because Family Guy pulled another name out of a hat to reference, to make the joke that "Doogie Howser = gay! lol!"  Hollywood has capitalized, and by now people are stuck in a loop, not realizing that the entire reason he's a noteworthy celebrity in 2010 is because we dug him up to point and laugh.  Remember the first Harold & Kumar?  He fulfilled a role that ANY small-name, outdated celebrity could fill for a silly "comeback" scene.  The guy has talent, but few people care about his talents as much as they do hopping on the ironic bandwagon. "

You typed all that out, and really, just kind of proved that all you read was "NPH is playing Amazing Spider-man". Had you actually read on, you'd know that the guy voiced Parker in the very cool, yet very short lived MTV cartoon some time ago. Had you known more about the game, you'd know that they are casting voice actors who've played Parker before. You'd know that they got Dan Gilvezan, who voiced Spider-Man in 1983 to play. He's voicing Miguel O'Hara as the Spider-man of 2099. You'd know that Christopher Daniel Barens is playing Noir Spider-Man, from the hugely popular 1995 cartoon. And now they have NPH playing this one. They didn't pull NPH out of nowhere just because he happens to be popular at the time. The guys at Activision are smarter than that. One of the biggest things Spider-man fans are going to latch on to is that people who've voiced Spider-man in the past are coming back to do it again. So one of their biggest pushes to sell the game, just made your entire point about shoving NPH in there like he doesn't belong completely invalid. "

All this love for one guy is giving me a raging boner. "

Had a feeling from the unfunny subtitle that this was written by Matt Kessler.

Cool info on voicework, but until I hear from people that this game is good, I'll pass. Not crazy about Spider-Man as he's portrayed in the comics anyways, I prefer the movie adaptation of him. (Although the upcoming gritty reboot is probably too much...) 
 
That said, if buzz goes around that this game is really good, I'll still definitely grab it. Also, anybody know how much travel there's going to be in this game? I mean, I think many of us can agree that probably the best thing about the Spider-Man 2 video game is how awesome it is just to swing around NYC, so I'm curious as to whether that aspect is returning or not.

they are casting voice actors who've played Parker before. You'd know that they got Dan Gilvezan, who voiced Spider-Man in 1983 to play. He's voicing Miguel O'Hara as the Spider-man of 2099.

They should get Nathan Fillion as well. Then it would be more like this:

" He's fighting Juggernaut. I like Spiderman and all, but he's no match for Juggernaut. "

He's actually taken on Juggernaut before and won in the comics, so... "

NPH certainly is A-OK to wear the spidey suit.
 
Suit up!

Peter Parker suit up!

" I would rather play a game with four different Neil Patrick Harris's. "

I've watched a couple of trailers of that new Batman cartoon where NPH voices Nightwing,he always does a great job.The man sure loves his comic book heroes.Awesome guy

I would rather play a game with four different Neil Patrick Harris's.

" How do I flag idiots so that I'll never have to see their comments again? "

I think he is great in 'How I Met Your Mother'.

I love NPH. This game just became far more interesting to me.

SOLD.

wow really dislike kessler

" He's fighting Juggernaut. I like Spiderman and all, but he's no match for Juggernaut. "

Amazing just took the cool crown from Noir.

How do I flag idiots so that I'll never have to see their comments again?

Fuck yeah NPH! This game is just getting better and better.

Oh, NPH, I would follow you anywhere and do anything for you. 
 
Yes, ANYTHING.  
 
But I'm still not sure I'd buy this game. That gameplay footage they posted made the combat look clunky and repetitive.

Why is this bellend posting news?

Who?

NPH as Spider-man? I'm in!

My interest in this game has suddenly hit interested.

Does this mean homophobes wont play this game?

Every time I see something new on this game is looks better and better. I was just going to rent this, but I might need to just go out and buy it.

" @TadThuggish:  Well let me tell you that I legitimately enjoy NPH's work. I don't say that for 'internet cool points' because I know that the internet is filled with assholes and people who go to 4chan so I could care less about appearing cool on the interweb. I think you have a highly overinflated idea of the power 4chan holds. It is a website filled with assholes and I highly doubt that NPH would have as many people willing to spend money for his talent if it was a simple 4chan craze.   The reason he worked in Harold and Kumar was because of the whole doctor thing. And he has since shown that he is authentically entertaining in many other rolls from Dr.Horrible's Sing-a-long blog and How I Met Your Mother (honestly him and Jason Segal make that show watchable). Rick Astely is a meme. Over 9000 is a meme. NPH is not a meme. Honestly I had not even heard of him on the internet before Harold and Kumar and even then it was only in reference to that movie.  I think it's hilarious though that you seem to think that Family Guy and 4chan have the ability to shape the direction of Hollywood though. "

Niel Patrick Harris is the coolest gay on the planet.
Also where the hell is the feature-length Dr Horrible? Where??

Cool.

Make Captain Hammer and Dr. Horrible unlockable characters in the game and GOTY 2010 is a lock.
