I'm not sure if this has been posted amongst all the news from all the leaked news, but it seems that Kotaku's gotten a hold of a list of all the potential Spider-Man games that Activision has come up with. Supposedly, the two Wii exclusives are rumored to actually be in the work, but the rest are all at least in the planning stages. Here's the master list of potential upcoming Spider-Man games:


Spider-Man: Agile Warrior (Wii) - Let's players control Spidey with the Wii Balance Board
Spider-Man: Hero Evolved (360, PS3, Wii) - Play as the son of Spider-Man in 2064 using spider powers and future tech to battle villains
Spider-Man: New Heights (360, PS3, Wii) - Upgrade Spidey's abilities as he moves from battling low level gangs to famous foes at New York City's skyline
Spider-Man: Gangs of New York (360, PS3, Wii) - Gangs take over the city and Spidey must pit them against each other
Spider-Man: Adaptation (360, PS3, Wii) - Spidey travels all over the globe, from Tokyo to Paris to Moscow to take out his foes
Marvel Team Up: Spider-Man Meets the X-Men (360, PS3, Wii) - Doctor Octopus and Magneto team up to take on Spidey and the X-men in locations like Manhattan and the Savage Land via two-player coop play
Spider-Man: Contest of Champions (360, PS3, Wii) - Destructable fighter for 2-4 players with Spider-Man, Venom, Wolverine, Electro, Doc Oc, Carnage and Green Goblin
Spider-Man: Mass Evolution (360, PS3, Wii) - Spidey's skills, from speed to strength to spider-senses are upgradeable as you play
Spider-Man: Chaos (360, PS3, Wii) - Spidey has 8 hours of frenetic action to save the city from certain doom
Spider-Man: Tactics (360, PS3, Wii) - A stealthy and strategic Spidey game
Spider-Man: Vision (360, PS3, Wii) - First- and third-person gameplay, Spidey style
Spider-Man vs. Marvel Zombies (360, PS3, Wii) - Spidey takes on the undead of the Marvel Universe in the future
Spider-Man: Webmaster (Wii) - Uses a web shooter game controller for third person action
Spider-Man: Webslinger (360, PS3, Wii) - Use precision web aiming to target enemies, build web slingshots and snipe enemies
Which ones do you want to actually come out, which ones sound horrible, and which ones just make you laugh?

I'd actually like to see Spider-Man Tactics come out and see if they can get a stealthy Spider-Man game right. I'd also like to see Adaptations comes out since all of the Spider-Man games seem to take place only in New York and I'd like to see more locales.

Okay, I'll be the first to admit: I came all over myself when I saw "vs Marvel Zombies".

[whoknows]

Well with that many at least one will have to be good.

[metaly]

I wonder if Spider-Man: Webmaster will support USB keyboards?

[fart_bubble]

if they're gonna do a future Spiderman, why not base it on god awful Spiderman 2099? New Heights, Mass Evolution and Chaos are the ones that seem to be the most intriguing. Spiderman Vs. Marvel Zombies would be cool but it would mess up continuity unless you get to be zombie Parker for most of the game.

Webslinger sounds retarded. And as for a stealth Spiderman game, that would be so far out of character that I'm not interested in something like that

[coolsteel]

I don't even see half of those making it to retail

[DarkNessBear]

Don't believe it...

"Spider-Man: Gangs of New York (360, PS3, Wii) - Gangs take over the city and Spidey must pit them against each other"

Come on....

[Redeema]

14 games and you honestly think more than one of them will be good? I seriously doubt it even if Activision is the biggest third party out there.

[coolsteel]

Don't believe it...

"Spider-Man: Gangs of New York (360, PS3, Wii) - Gangs take over the city and Spidey must pit them against each other"

Come on....

I agree, some of these are a stretch even for spiderman games

[Codemaster]

Vs. Marvel Zombies and Marvel Team Up seem neat. Hopefully with Marvel Team Up they can make it more action oriented like Ultimate Spider-Man and not like MUA. I just want another Spider-Man game as good as Ultimate Spider-Man.

[CouRageouS]

Spider-Man is the last franchise that needs a balance board game.

[rapsodist]

This looks like everybody in the office was forced to come up with a proposal for a new Spider-man game. Some already had good ideas and proffered those, some came up with don't-break-the-mold templates just to keep their jobs, and others apparently saw the whole thing as a big joke and never thought their proposals would end up plastered all over the internet and analyzed.

[RelentlessRolento]

:lol: at the zombie one. would make more sense to have another character vs the zombies, but whatever. especially since in the comics spidey eats all his friends and loved ones.

[akilshohen]

why not make other characters playable in the Zombie game? and if you didn't see the spec sheet for it, it's gonna be rated T.

[Mrcapcom]

Spider-Man: Tactics (360, PS3, Wii) - A stealthy and strategic Spidey game
Spider-Man: Webslinger (360, PS3, Wii) - Use precision web aiming to target enemies, build web slingshots and snipe enemies

LOL really though? some of the others sound pretty good though

[jkam]

Can't we just get a true sequel to the PS1 Spider-Man? That game was the shit. It will obviously need to be updated (graphics, control, etc.) but it was good because of no movie tie-ins and it actually hit the character on the head in terms of atmosphere and spidey's sense of humor. It was a shame that Spider-Man 2 (PS1) was such an obvious rush job when the first one was so much fun. They don't need all of these extra gimmicks. Spider-Man is popular enough at this point.

A few of those do sound interesting though.

The ones that aren't crossed out are the ones I think might be good. But I am doubtful about all of them.

[Chacrana]

Fourteen games and they'll all probably suck!

[Strell]

This is like some warped version of trying to pick out the Holy Grail.

Except in this case, you can't ever choose wisely.

[Deefuzz]

Marvel Zombies please...I'll pass on the rest.

[camoor]

Future Spiderman sucks.

[Rodimus]

In the Marvel Zombies comic Spider-Man becomes a zombie and eats MJ & Aunt May. Doubt they'll include that in the game.

[tangytangerine]

Kotaku doesn't mention it, but other sites mention in the same story that Activision is also working on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Which the game will be using the Civil War storyline(so I guess Captain America dies in the game?)

As for the Spider-man games, the Wii exclusive ones sound like games that are gimmicky and will probably not make it to retail. The fighting game just doesn't seem right, especially since it'll be limited to Spider-Man characters. The only one that looks like it'll get attention is the Marvel Zombies one.

[traininvain]

i just want one, well thought out, well made spider-man game, from front to back.

[Trenchalicious]

They should consolidate and actually make a few good ones instead of 14 crappy ones.

[Azumangaman]

Two or three SOUND interesting, but if they are probably going to suck.
I'd be overjoyed if they proved me wrong.

[Rodimus]

They have that "Web of Shadows" game coming out. Also I really enjoyed Ultimate Spider-Man.

Which one are you talking about?

WORD.

[rjung]

You guys realize this is probably just a list of proposals for test marketing purposes? They'll see which idea gets the most/best feedback from customers, and then greenlight it (while canceling the others).

[freakyzeeky]

:shock:

Yay! More Spiderman games! :O *end sarcasm* :\

[tangytangerine]

Which one are you talking about?

Both of them(Webmaster & Agile Warrior). They just seem like games that would have shallow or one dimensional gameplay.

[help1]

Wasn't spiderman 2 a good game though? It was like a kid friendly GTA!
