A Peter David written Spiderman 2099 game. A must buy for sure.

With all the attention Miguel is getting in the games recently surely it's time to cash in and bring out a new comic.

The S-Man is making waves once again baby!! Come one Miguel!!

This sounds like it's going to be my dream Spider-Man game.

Nice, PAD back in the 2099 universe and there's no Brian Reed mess in sight. All is good for some of us Spidey fans.

Sounds fantastic! I just hope it's not as bug ridden as Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions was.

Why does it need to be some universe or time altering crisis for Spidey? Why not write a good Spidey-level story for a game and go with it?

Well, it sounds awesome and they had my money already when I heard PAD was involved.

Yeah, as fun as SM:SD was, it was annoyingly buggy.

Might be because they've done all that before. It's time to do something cool with PAD! They have my money. :D

Because it's been done. Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

Besides, it sounds awesome.

Mephisto should be in the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i pray that its back to the sandbox style, so we can see city changes and environment changes (ie. Spidey get the Bugle building blown up or something, into 2099 there a very stylized DB building standing in its place)

Honestly, it's been a while since it's really been done. Web of Shadows, I guess, but that had the whole symbiote thing going on, wasn't really a pure Spidey game. That hasn't really been done since... what, Ultimate? And if you really want to get nitpicky, it really REALLY hasn't been done since Playstation. Everything since has been either movie games, Ultimate, or laden with some kind of gimmick that really isn't core to the character.
