After years of being referred to as simply Marvel Universe, Gazillion’s massively multiplayer superhero game finally has an official name. Unfortunately, it’s Marvel Heroes. How can a name featuring such a recognisable name sound so generic?
After two games that weren’t exactly dripping with hot web-slinging action, developer Beenox takes things open world in the Amazing Spider-Man. How focused are they on swinging this time around? So focused that they haven’t noticed they’ve stolen the plot from a Robocop move.
There’s a Spider-Man movie reboot coming next year, with The Social Network‘s Andrew Garfield wearing the webbed uniform of Marvel Comics’ premier character. The Amazing Spider-Man movie will be accompanied by a game of the same name, built by Montreal’s Beenox dev studio.
We’re not talking gameplay or even footage, simply this poster discovered inside Activision’s sizable New York Comic Con booth.
What defines Spider-Man? Is it his special powers? His great responsibilities? His Jenga prowess? No, true believers. Spider-Man’s most definitive trait is his witty banter, and double the Spider-Man means double the snappy patter right? Thank goodness Edge of Time had Peter David.
In Spider-Man: Edge of Time the whole of reality is warped into something darker and more sinister, all because of the death of one Peter Parker. We’re in charge of making sure it doesn’t happen again.
When everyone else is busying themselves with Rage, Dark Souls, or Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove 3D, I’ll be taking Spider-Man: Edge of Time for a spin to see if two spiders are better than four. Here’s what that might look like.
Spider-Man: Edge of Time hits stores tomorrow, bringing the worlds of the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 clashing together violently. Then the kicking starts.
