So, you recall the animated movie. "Into the Spiderverse". Well, great idea I just had was based on one of the lines in the movie. "Anyone could wear the mask." It hit me. A Spiderverse game... BUT... based on that idea. Have a pool of powers from every possible known Spider-Man/Woman/Boy/Girl, be able to advance through those power trees (to a limit). You'd have to pick and choose, and obviously allow for respecs. But you would be able to make a game where you CREATE your own character. A Spider-Person from a random dimension. And then you could have some comic-style selections to choose the bad guys. Like... Green Goblin either being that scary demon from Miles Morales' dimension, or does he wear a suit like all the other known GGs. Doc Ock being a woman, or a man, or even a full-on cyborg experiment gone wrong. There are tons of possibilities.
Honestly, if someone else has thought of this, cool beans. But if not, I don't even want credit for the idea. I would just love to see a game like this come to fruition. Single Player, obviously. NG+ a must because completionists love it (I am one too lol).
For voices, you'd have to get some voice actors... and good ones... Like... go with 10 men and 10 women. And have em read all the quips and lines, etc. And that way you have variety. No one Spidey will play the same in terms of abilities, identity, etc. It's the perfect idea for a Spiderversal game. I don't expect Sony to even bother with the idea. In fact I doubt it would ever happen. But would I play it? You bet'cher Uncle Ben I would!
sigh What I wouldn't give... Oh well. Idea's out there now. You're, uh, you're welcome Sony. Use it to make something awesome. Or, you know... don't. Whatevs. Ball's in your court. Cheers!
@Baklavah it's not as expansive as what you are suggesting but Spider Man Shattered Dimensions on PS3 did the multiverse concept and it's actually a really good game too. Well worth checking it out!
I think it was made before the invention of Miles Morales though so the Ultimate Spidey in it is still Peter Parker. But it does have Spider-Man Noir in it at least!
@nessisonett oh really? I cant believe the effect of the game lives on to this day!
I really need to check out the Edge of Time game too. I dismissed it on release because it only had two Spidey's on the cover, now it's old and expensive to buy 😅😭
@ralphdibny I think Shattered Dimensions might have actually been written by Dan Slott. It would make sense given he’s the main proponent behind most of modern Spidey, both the good and the lots of bad.
@RogerRoger it looks good. Unfortunately it's £25 in cex and not a local one to me anyway. Maybe I'll get around to it one day!
Just reminded me of another Spidey game called Web of Shadows actually. I don't really remember a lot about it, just that it had Wolverine on the cover and some Venom-y stuff about it.
