Recently we had the opportunity to head to San Francisco for a demo of the new game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. Take a look at our impressions as well as images and video below.
OVERALL STORYLINE: Essentially, the game will begin with an opening cutscene that acts as a framing sequence for the overall storyline in which an ancient artifact called the Tablet of Order and Chaos is broken into many pieces that are scattered throughout the four different universes, falling into the hands of that dimension's set of villains. This event ties together the respective Spider-Man of each universe who are then called upon to work together (but separate) in order to retrieve the piece of the artifact from a location in their dimension. The main villain throughout the game's storyline is Mysterio - who we see is the primary reason for the tablet's breakage.
As you progress through each dimension, the villain who has possession of the tablet piece begins to learn how to use its abilities. Through the story, the villain will slowly begin to learn new abilities and techniques; therefore, making it more difficult each time you face them.
Throughout the game, you also come across "trophies" which will give you added moves, upgraded costumes and abilities. You are able to view these abilities and focus on which ones you need by accessing the "web of destiny" which showcases the trophies you have already collected, as well as the ones that you still need.
Take a look at the video below of the latest Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions trailer.
