Beenox isn't done with Spider-Man: Edge of Time just yet, the developers of the game are coming out with another costume for players to fight in.
Besides Spider-Man's The Other and his Final costumes, a third costume has been announced the other day. Debuting in What If? Spider-Man Versus Wolverine back in 2008, Spider-Man's "Another Side of Spider-Man" costume will be wearable for players who own Edge of Time for free! All you have to do is go to the Code Unlock section in the game's main menu and put in the code "coldhearted" to receive the new suit.
In order to remind us that Spider-man Edge of Time hits stores tomorrow, Activision has given us one last trailer for the new game featuring two web-slingers from the present and from the future as they show off their fighting skills and techniques.
I really want to play the game for the Anti-Venom, but don't forget to pick up the game tomorrow if you're planning on getting it.
A new trailer has been revealed for Beenox's Spider-Man: Edge of Time during Comic Con. This new trailer shows off both Spider-Men along with Black Cat and Ant-Venom.
Is it bad that this trailer gets me more excited than the The Amazing Spider-Man trailer?
Another trailer came out of E3 the other day, this time it is a trailer for Spider-Man: Edge of Time.
The trailer looks nice and hopefully it will be as good as Shattered Dimensions and that Beenox stays true to the comics (even though I doubt they won't). One thing does concern me though, why is Anti-Venom killing Spider-Man? Eddie Brock is suppose to be turning his life around with Anti-Venom by being a good guy, despite Spider-Man thinking otherwise. I just really want to know how Beenox is going to pull this off.
Spider-Man dying is a good idea for a game since we have never seen anything like that, not that I can remember at least. But the whole aspect of the game sounds like it can be well done; Spider-Man dying, Spider-Man 2099 time traveling to the past to prevent Parker from dying and what not. I have complete faith in Beenox to do a well executed job.
I found out the reason why Anti-Venom is fighting Spider-Man and the reason why he dies; this piece of information is taken from an article on Gameinformer:
"Developer Beenox teamed up with comic book icon Peter David to write the story for Spider-Man: Edge of Time. At the same time, they created a brand new villain, an evil scientist by the name of Walker Sloan. At the beginning of the game, Sloan creates a time portal and travels back in time to kill the Amazing Spider-Man thereby altering the course of history and creating a dystopian future. Only Spider-Man 2099 is aware of the anomaly, so using the time portal to warn the Amazing Spider-Man of his impending doom. The two heroes decide to team up and stop Sloan from creating his own, twisted version of the future.
Choices that the Amazing Spider-Man makes in the past will affect the world of Spider-Man 2099 in the future. Unfortunately, Sloan has implanted a chip inside the head of Anti-Venom, which allows the mad scientist to control the monster. Since Anti-Venom has the power to cure all mutations, he effectively depowers the Amazing Spider-Man in an epic battle inside the Alchemax building. Anti-Venom could be the villain that kills Spider-Man in the past, but we don’t know how Spider-Man 2099’s tinker could effect that past and help Amazing Spider-Man avoid his doom, since Beenox wasn’t willing to show us the end of the battle between to two powerhouses."
So now we know how Beenox is playing Anti-Venom out, and them creating a new villain seems like it can work out, hopefully it will. If Beenox is lucky, maybe Marvel will make Walker Sloan into a new comic villain for Spider-Man.
