whoa wtf...that Noir shit looked pretty cool, I havent read a spiderman comic in years, was that ever in the comics? The "amazing" stuff looks like regular old spiderman, now im very curious to see what the other 2 dimensions are... some sort of future world I bet at least. Thoughts?

Looks pretty cool. I'll be interested to see what the other two are. 

They should focus on one style... and kidnap Batman:AA leads and copy their "pseudo-open world" layout.
 
Never knew there was anything other than the normal Spider-Man. Voice didn't fit, whoever was Peter in the live-action movies is what I consider the quintessential voice.

Looks like it could be cool.  I hope it is.  Spider-Man was always my favorite hero as a kid.

" Looks like alot of superhero games will be trying to benefit from Batman AA's success and dip everything into ultra-dark themes. "

" @Rhaknar:  last year marvel bought out two 4 issue spider-man noir mini series, they did the same with quite alot of the other characters in the marvel universe... i have the first mini never bothered with the second.... first one was alright "

I'm a little sceptical about the game as lets be fair there hasn't been a great track record to Spider-Man games for awhile now. But I hear Dan Slott (writer on Amazing Spider-Man books) has penned the story for this game and it seems they've opted for a more comic book inspired art design as well. It could work out well for them, especially if each of the four dimensions provide a contrasting gameplay experience to each other.
 
Also just to point out the Spiderman in 2099 is not Peter Parker, so I highly doubt we'll see that era as one of the dimensions in the game. It seems like they're focusing on Peter Parker's Spider-Man persona from four different universes covered in Marvel's books. Already they've confirmed Amazing, Noir and I'm going to guess Ultimate and probably either the Age of Apocalypse or House of M universe.

As long as they keep the webswinging amazingly fun, I'm in.
 
I just watched and interview with someone woman on it, on gamespot.com. The noir part looked artistically superior to the cell shaded "normal" dimension.

WEIRD. That was a weird trailer.
I'll almost definately not play this. The animation looks as stiff and dead as all the other Spider-man games, it's got that voice I don't like, the Noir lighting looks like a total gimmick, you KNOW they're not gonna do a very good stealth game, and yo- it's a Spider-man game.

Isn't that the one where Wolverine gives you a quiz about comics and you rip him in half?

I am now interested in this.

I dig the idea of having multiple art styles within a single game.  Within each comic book franchise are multiple takes on the hero and his or her universe.  Video games always tries to adapt to a single viewpoint - this game wants to dip into all.  At the very least, the premise is intriguing enough to have me interested in a Spiderman game since Ultimate Spiderman.

" My personal request is that they at least try to work in Marvel Zombies. "

really diggin the different graphical styles between the two dimensions.

I completely forgot about this. If they did this then I'm fucking pre-ordering.Spiderman is the first hero to get turned into a zombie. So... the game would have to involve hunting down and eating all the other heroes?  Oh fuck. I just came a little... "

The Noir stuff looks like Spiderman: Arkham Asylum. This is not a bad thing.

I like what I see, but bring in Spider-Ham and I'll preorder immediately!

the "amazing" stuff looks kind of reminds me of Ultimate Spider-Man from 2005 with the art style and the combat, and the "noir" stuff looks like batman: arkham asylum with the stealth and all the particle effects from the combat. it doesnt look terrible

Yeah, the noir part looks really cool, I'm sorta mixed on the whole art direction in that they made it all cartoony like the previous games, but it does seem like they went in a more 'Prince of Persia' kind of direction in the jungle bit, which is cool. I'm really curious to see more of it, but right now it looks interesting with potential. Hope it is good!
