[edit] Timeframe of Ultimate Spider-Man video game in relation to Ultimate Spider-Man comic

In a Newsarama interview with Brian Reed, the lead game designer for the Ultimate Spider-Man videogame ([1]), he claims the storyline in the game takes place at an undetermined time after the Silver Sable arc in the comic. That would probably help to clear up confusions as to the game's continuity.

[edit] Hulk in the game?

I've played through the game and the Hulk isn't in there. Maybe he was confused for the Ultimate version of the Green Goblin? Zooba 14:30, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, there's no Hulk. rst20xx 13:49, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Revert

Well I recently removed the following:

Changes From The Original Spiderman 2 Game

The developers have used the new 3D Cell-Shading system to create an alive comic book feel to the game. With more colours and bright 3D Models, it will feel like the player is playing a comic book.

In Spiderman 2, the time changes while in-game, but in Ultimate Spiderman, the time changes from levels to levels. There four main time zones: 1. Daytime 2. Afternoon 3. Sunset 4. Cloudy Night

The Game's Specifications

The developer does not have any celebrity Voice-Actors/Voice-Actresses to fill in the Character's voices. But luckily, they managed to have incredible quality Voice-Actors to fill. As it was in Spiderman 2, the game still have the New York City with some parts of the Manhattan Island. The developers also have almost all of the landmarks located in the life-city of New York.

Let me explain why. "Changes From The Original Spiderman 2 Game" - which original Spider-Man 2 game? The movie one, or Enter Electro? If Enter Electro, I don't think there is any reason to compare the two. If the movie one, then: a) section incorrectly titled b) list far from incomplete c) does not merit own section, maybe just a mention (which I've now included) "The Game's Specifications" - the voice actor thingy is opinion. Also they don't have any of the actual Manhattan landmarks except the Statue of Liberty, so that's wrong.

I know there's a don't bite the newbies policy, and I'm not trying to bite you, but I think edits need to have a little more thought and make a little more sense. I've added back in some of the good things tho in some form, such as the use of cel-shading rst20xx 14:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chase Complaints

I deleted the note in Trivia criticizing the chase sequences in the game. Perhaps there was some criticism about it, but the part that I found most silly was explaining how difficult the Venom/Electro chase sequence is. It's true Electro flies around very quickly, which alowys him to quickly rise above skyscrapers, but Venom has the locomotion jump, and tentacle zipping, so speed and climbing aren't really big problems. Electro stops every so often for Venom to catch up, for goodness' sake. It's true that when Electro does that, and Venom gets too close, Electro will fire up a huge electric blast that will knock Venom away, but an intelligent player will notice that and learn to stand far enough away so as not to get hit. It's not very difficult at all.
