Spider-Man Edge of Time - Updated

June 8, 2011 0 comments

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.

A few days after it's announcement, Beenox has thrown out a teaser trailer for us. It still looks good, I want my hands on it. I really like how it's bringing a non well known Spidey as a main character. Usually it's just the 616 Wall Crawler or Ultimat.

This fall Beenox, the developers of Shattered Dimensions, and Activision are bringing back Spider-Man in their newest installment. Spider-Man 2099 is also involved in this story. And by the name of the title, we can conclude that Edge of Time will focus on time traveling.

Beenox states that they "Want to create a totally distinct experience in Spider-Man: Edge of Time." So it looks like they are going to spice things up a bit, and hopefully it will be good and not bad.

Either way, I can't wait to get my hands on it. Shattered Dimensions was excellent, and I have high expectations for Edge of Time now.
