The Noir version reminds me of Batman: AA.  Any guesses what the other 2 dimensions will be?  I'm thinking one of them is a Venom/ evil version of Spidey.

The Noir version reminds me of Batman: AA

A little too much if u ask me. Still interested in seeing where are they going with this.
I`m betting Spiderman 2099 is one of the remaining two.

[BWPS]

FWIW and IIRC, in the animated series, the alternate spideys were
Scarlet Spider (not a clone in TAS)
Metal suit Spider-Man (kind of an Iron Man type, known identity, rich and famous, kind of a dick)
No-power Spider-Man (from the real world, an actor who plays him on TV)
Spider Symbiote (kind of a freaky Carnage type, he tries to obliterate the universes from existence)

None of those sound too great. Noir Spider-Man is really awesome. This game has promise, it'd be nice to play a really good Spider-Man game.

[Marmeille]

This looks pretty good, having different gameplay for the different dimensions is a nice idea.

A futuristic gameplay with Spider-Man 2099 would make sense for another dimension.

I would really like a Spider-Girl dimension (although the gameplay would be pretty much the same as normal Spidey), but I have a feeling they'll go for something like Spider-Man 1602 instead.

[JeyNyce]

1602 Spidey would be too much like 1930's spidey.  I'm thinking a 2099 and and alt universe like Spidey as a kid or Spidey with 6 arms

You're actually missing two.

Six Armed Spider-Man--mutating into a Man spider form, he possesses six arms
Octo-Spiderman--Spiderman possessing Dr. Octopus's arms.

Also Scarlet Spider was Ben Reilly, who was believed to be a clone, but was actually the original.  The revelation drove the clone mad, causing him to become the Spider Symbiote.

None of which has any bearings on this game, which shows great promise.

[Podmark]

I'm weary of this game. It seems like an odd gimmick. I would have prefer they try to take the character back to his roots and pull off a Arkham Asylum style game. But we'll see, this could very well be cool.

[murs47]

I'm guessing one of the alternate universes will be House of M.

[detourne_me]

2099 version could fly kinda right?
Well I guess thats what they'll go with for one of the worlds.
It seems like the game wants to highlight various styles of gameplay... we'll have a brawler with amazing, stealth with noir, probably a flying/shooting element with 2099, and jeez, probably another symbiote version for the fourth... gamemakrs just cant stay away from the blacksuit.

This kind of reeks of the latest sonic games where he becomes a werewolf with stretchy arms.

[lugaru]

I hink 2099 could glide actually, and had poison claws. Great character, and it rocked having him as an exile.

Who know's who the next two are but you know what would blow my mind? Marvel Zombies spidey.

[Marmeille]

They should have announced Spider-Ham as the 3rd one today. 

[docdelorean88]

At first this seemed kinda sketchy. I mean the plot seemed kinda thin. If there is a seriously decent plotline this will be fantastic! I think the aspect of different style of separate games, with intertwining plots, all rolled into one game is a fantastic idea...on paper. This seems like it would make a cool comic book idea. You know, that parallel plot line sorta thing. I'm excited!

[JeyNyce]

They should have announced Spider-Ham as the 3rd one today. 

That would be good for DLC

[JeyNyce]

Pre-order the game from Gamestop and you'll get Cosmic Spider-man for each dimension.  Looks like one of them is from Spidey 2099 era, but I can't figure out who the 3rd spidey is.  Any Guess?

Update: Rumors has it that the 3rd on is the Symbiote.

[docdelorean88]

I was just about to guess that. That kinda bums me out. The 2099, i guess i can see as a good idea...maybe, but we have had SO many symbiote based spiderman games already.

[lugaru]

There have been a few good "evil spidey" what if stories where the symbiote took over. Maybe that will be the "hardcore" dimension with assassin spidey.

assassin spidey? heh, so we have an arkham asylum spidey, assassin spidey, amazing -> maybe god of war, and 2099... hmm, Crackdown spidey?

[Nyte Dragon]

They could have went with the Mangaverse Spidey.

Which is funny because 3d, swing round, beat people up spidey games predate all those games. Heck, in my opinion Arkham Asylum ripped of Wolverine a lot despite everyone calling Wolvie the ultimae "derivative" game. Arkham is better one at the end of the day, but extremely similar. Other than going completely left field (the Hitman series) there is little you can do with 3rd person action.

Honestly I regret that there is no mention of my favrite and highly original mechanic from past games (starting with Sega Genesis I think) of alloing you to take photos. I love in game tourism and takin pictures has alwas gone well wth the character.

[UnfluffyBunny]

there's spiderman 2099 and a freakin steampunk spidey, i'm sold!

[lugaru]

Fourth Alternate Spidey revealed!



... I'm just joking btw, althouh if anyone is interested I've got a skin of this character I made ages ago.

[JeyNyce]

steampunk spidey would be cool. @lugaru - I read those comics, Venom is his brother.  Not a bad comic.

With something like this they should have DLC with different type of Spidey

[docdelorean88]

Well, sorta newsy. If you preorder Cosmic Spiderman is a bonus suit/powers. So there is that.

Villains video.  I don't like the Goblin........

[Midnite]

Hulk Goblin looks bad.

Is This Shattered Dimensions' Spider-Man 2099?

[Previsionary]

Pre-order from Amazon and you unlock:

Spoiler

iron spidey

[Glitch Girl]

Prev, I can't get your image to work, but I went and checked for myself...

Spoiler

Ugh I HATED the Iron Spider outfit.  Even the Spider clone one was better than this and that one involved a sweatervest.  Still, I see they left off the three pointless appendages that made him look like a wounded spider at least (7 legs?  Really? Geez...) 

[JeyNyce]

If they do this game any justice they should DLC with different spidey costumes. 

[Velocity]

Glitch Girl, hey now, it was a ripped up hoodie, not a sweater vest. There's a difference.

A sweater vest is something Mr. Rodgers would wear. A ripped up hoodie is something a band trying to recreate the magic of 90s alternative music would wear.

[Previsionary]

Another alt skin: Click

So far: Iron Spider-man (Amazon) and Captain Universe (Gamestop)

Let's hope they go about this better than they did with the MUA offering. I'd hate for this to run out of "exclusive codes" or only be available online for a month without warning.
