The Many Frustrations Of Playing Delisted Spider-Man Games 

For what it's worth, here's a link to the thread with all the games. x.com/Spidey__pte/status/1790061742996758923?s=19

32:04 Actually, Shattered Dimensions predates the original Spider-Verse event by a few years, so this is probably at least partial inspiration for it.

Body surfing in Web of Shadows is still my favorite Spider-Man moment in gaming and made the game in my opinion.

Web of shadows combat is so fire, outside of flashy moves, just being able to take the fight anywhere at anytime is a spiderman lovers dream. From the ground to the side of a building, to the air ect ect. It really was ahead of its time

22:28 James Arnold Taylor actually voiced Spider-Man again in Lego Marvel Superheroes

"Thankfully though Edge of Time was console exclusive so I don't have any obligation to play that one." I'd still rather play Edge of Time than play Amazing Spider-Man 2 ever again, at least edge of Time had a pretty damn good story and great voice acting from the two best Spider-Man VAs. Christopher Daniel Barnes is so underrated man, and his Miguel was perfect. Josh Keaton Spidey isn't underrated but it also definitely deserves all the praise it gets. As an aside Yuri would probably be my 3rd place spot, Rino as an honourable 4th.

This game predates Spider-Verse

1:16 big missed opportunity for "certified friendly neighbor-hood classic" 😆 Love the PS1 Spider-Man games

I had a lot of fun with the first Sam Raimi movie game due in no small part to them bringing back all the same special web moves from the earlier 2 games. And then they let you get upgraded versions of them all. Hitting a goon with a pumpkin-sized wad of impact web never got old. And then I discovered the Green Goblin mode.

I just wanted to give you huge props for putting in what I can only imagine was dozens of hours playing these games, AND making the video itself. The effort you put in your videos shows, and I just wanted you to know that I see that. Can't wait for you to hit 100k subs!

38:55 Huh this makes sense because in the first The Amazing Spider-man movie Peter was inspired by a picture of a lucha libre mask when he was making his Spider-man suit

Old gamepads only had 6 buttons (4 face and 2 shoulders) and for some reason thr L3 and R3 buttons of modern controllers get recognized as those old shoulder buttons

Seems like this video should have just been called i played every Spider-Man game there's only like 4 or 5 other ones i know of and three of them are the insomniac ones. It really is ridiculous all these games are unavailable.

Crazy to think I bought Web Of Shadows for 360 for £25 back in the day Also Edge Of Time is fun. It's basically Shattered Dimensions minus two Spidermen

38:25 You are actually so real for that.

You know what? I'm going to bite the bullet and play Spider-Man: Web of Shadows on my computer. You convinced me to just download it instead of spending an arm and a leg for a physicla copy on PS3. Also you're close to the 100k milestone. If I'm not here to see it. early congratulations. You've earned it. 👏

I've been watching a lot of your videos, and I can assure you you are, by now, one of my favorite content creators. thank you so much for making game reviews interesting again, mate. much love from Brazil, keep up the good work! road to 100.000 and one million :)

For applying patches to old pc games you have to put the patch exe into the games file directory and run it there for it to find the game files.

This was a very well put together video!

Tobey half assing his lines makes it even better lmao so fucking funny listening to him especially in the 2nd and 3rd game

Spiders, man. Spiders man.

Arkham Batman fights like Spidey so it’s not Spider-man’s fault rocksteady just clearly wanted a to make a Spiderman game

The main reason Spider-man 2's web swinging engine wasn't reused is it's owned by the guy who created it, and he took it with him when he left.

congrats on 100k dude!

My very first videogame was a spiderman 1+2 combo on my new Gameboy advance SP Christmas 2005 I think. That and sonic genesis. I loved them both

Related to the movie tie in thing, but Percy Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie (I love how stupidly long that title is) is another in the very small list of "6th gen era tie-in games that somehow feel on-par with the mainstream games", I would advise checking that one out since it does feel like there is a good amount of passion poured into it

You wouldn't happen to still have the link to that Twitter thread would you because there is not many things I wouldn't trade to play shattered dimensions again

After binge-playing Ratchet & Clank 2, 3 and 2016, all I can picture saying that is Ratchet himself

You should play the delisted Need For Speed pc games. About a year ago I went down a rabbit hole of getting a dubiously acquired copy of NFS Undercover to run after finding out I'm one of 3 people that like it

Every day I regret selling my old Spider-Man games to game stop.

Came for the Iron Maiden shirt. Stayed for Spider-Man

I loved the ultimate Spider-Man. Gameplay wise it felt really close to Spiderman 2, especially with the webswinging. The artstyle of the game was really cool too. I think they did an amazing job of bringing a comicbook to 3D. Easily one of the best spiderman games.

Oh, memories. I remember playing that god awful Spiderman 2 pc. I even finished it a couple of times. It surely had variety, but yeah, a mess it was and a mess it stays.

Never thought I'd see anyone mention PC Spider-Man 2. Owned both that and the PS2 version simultaneously.

They’ll delist all of these games and refuse to sell them, and then take down any of the sites bothering to preserve them. It’s so sad.

Nice looks on each Spidey game on PC, and you make great points on each of them. Wonder if you’ll talk about the Marvel’s Spider-Man games later on, maybe the sequel as I have seen a lot of divided opinions on the game alone, even if the game itself is very good.

38:54 that's actually lore accurate for both the movie and the comics. TASM Peter was inspired by falling into an old wrestling area with a mask poster nearby and Comic Peter had a career in wrestling before he became a hero. So him having those moves is in line.

43:42 Peter Parker looks like a young Frank West.

11:40 Not anymore. Ever since Far From Home and later the Spider-Manless Sony Spin off films exist, most people have been saying Spider-Man 3 is a masterpiece, or a solid conclusion to the Rami Trilogy, or even a good Spider-Man movie.

I remember spider man 2002, I also remembered how vulture was a better chase and stop boss than screwball n20 years later

Idk if you knew this or was just saying it compared to the pc games but when I was a kid I got Spider-Man 3 on Wii because it also had to were left trigger was left web and right trigger was right web. Just thought I’d let ya know. Good video through

42:05 the game was so bad vendor's didint want to sell the game 😮😮😮

My man TBP is the goat and has no hater's Keep going man you're the best

Great video, as always But bro did NOT just disrespect Edge of Time like that

i love you and your videos

Remembering that Friend or Foe was made by Next Level Games still surprises me (the same studio behind Punch Out Wii and Luigi’s Mansion 2 and 3, whom Nintendo now own). It’d be interesting if they got to make a new Spidey game, but I think Sony are keeping solo Spider-Man adventures exclusive for as long as they can. With Microsoft now having a Blade game in the works I’m curious what Marvel property Nintendo would most likely want as an exclusive.

Also, I just remembered Mysterio in Shattered Dimensions is voiced by Clank himself, David Kaye!

30:30 well there was Lego Batman games during that gap.

I'm surprised you didn't know that Ultimate Spider-Man was based on a comic book series of the same name, which is set in a more modern and grounded version of Earth where Peter Parker is still in high school as Spider-Man, in a world with superhumans but they are more outwardly flawed and realistic to their situation, such as Captain America being a French-hating patriotic bigot more akin to the soldiers of the WWII era at the time rather than a selfless paragon like in the main comic storyline. The MCU by the way was heavily influenced by the Ultimate Marvel Universe comics themselves, with Samuel L. Jackson's casting being a reference to how Nick Fury in the Ultimate comics was drawn to look like Jackson.

16:40 Actually, if you bind the controller inputs to where the keyboard inputs are in "1st" the game will show the inputs for it. It shows the inputs for whatever is in "1st"

When rhino popped up in as2 i had do a double take cause i couldn't believe it was paul giamatti

Spider-Man 2000, Spider-Man 2 (PS2), Ultimate Spider-Man and Shattered Dimensions are my top favorites as a kid. Just brings me so much memories everytime I look at these timeless classics.

The best reason to beat ultimate is you can switch between the 2 after the story is completed

I still have my Web of Shadows PC copy, though it's only in Spanish rather than being multi-language. The dub is... not very good, but having bought the physical copy cleared my conscience for when I downloaded the English version. I still give it a replay from time to time.

Hey TBP, if you can see this, I just want you to let you know that I love your GTA videos and I’d like it if you ranked every GTA 4 mission as your next mission ranked video please, thanks!

Get this man to 100k

The glass on the bank roof breaks before the web ball hits it happens on the ps1 version as well

I actually have Web of Shadows, only thing is that the Wii Version. Now I don’t like motion controls, but it works SURPRISINGLY well. The controls are shockingly decent and responsive, and it actually runs decent

I played the pc version of Spiderman 2 and to be honest i think if nothing else, it's a good introduction to gaming, because of how dumbed down it is and me being a kid at the time (like 7-8 max) and being new to PC as a whole, it was a good game and scratched that spiderman itch (especially because i didn't know about consoles and the little i played on a PS2 at my friend's house I'd already forgotten because it was alao years ago at that point)

I tried to get these emulators to work. Downloaded everything, extracted the files, then couldn’t even open the game. I even followed the instruction file in the game folder

Please rank all the 10 canon god of war games. Thank you

I noticed the way you were swinging in Ultimate Spider-Man, you do not use the web crawl mechanic at all which you should because it makes the swinging sooo much better

Amazing spider man 2 was my first ps4 game i got and the first console game I've ever played. I only played an hour of it but I still have the copy in my house. Since it's now rare I'll make sure that I will preserve it.

I never even noticed the main mission path being repetitious, that goes to show how amazing this game is. I was always intrigued about what was happening next, the music was a banger and every new character and fight kept being greater that i never noticed. WTF this is a mindblowing revelation for me fr, i need to check a walkthrough of this game cos i don't believe you even lol. This is all there is in the main path and it's still my 2nd fav Spidey game? (1st being Spider-Man 2 PS2. I also loved Spider-Man 3 on PS2 because of how well handled the black suit was, OST was a banger and it was my introduction to Morbius. I loved that boss fight, still mid game though lol)

So when are you gonna make a video about ranking all the GTA 3 (or III, because Rockstar chose Roman numerals instead) missions from best to worst? Pretty sure it hasn't aged very well (also the story and characters are basic, especially Claude who doesn't even speak) but it still deserves a separate video.

Can we get the link for these?

I understand your criticisms with them, but 2000, and Ultimate were my favorite Spidey games before the Insomniac ones started. I love those ones and have no problem going back and replaying them again and again. Nind if i ask which one yours was?

I'm gonna encourage you to emulate Edge of Time just to hear you compliment it.

Tasm 2 and 1 game is fire

Dude I have the PC version of Spider-Man 2000, on a disc it feeling like it's about to crash and being buggy that's just normal

The Nvidea panel is pretty janky, next time when messing with the settings make sure you have global settings marked with use user input it configurations(or something like that) it's the screen with the spinning nvidea logo Hope that helps for next time

After hearing your thoughts on dialogue trees I wonder how you would like mass effect sense that’s how most if not all conversations go

Holyfuckingshit, I had no idea about the frame rate issues and played Spider-Man 2000 on PC when i was like 11 or something. ( i mastered that game BTW) all those issues happened to me and i just assumed it was due to being an old game that just was kinda buggy because that's how games used to be lmfao. Dying over and over with that crate, the venom chase sequence, Rhino, the glass breaking, the audio issues, Man what a nostalgic ride you took me on. I still love this game. Maybe i'll try to emulate it to see how much better that is. Haven't finished the sequel. I also had the same glitch with Shattered Dimensions all the way back in 2013, also im pretty sure TASM does have races? tried Spidey 2002 once and hated I finally got my hands on Spider-Man 2 on PC after hearing for years how good it was and i fucking hated it. I could not believe this was the game people loved. I then learned the difference but i still am not a fan of Spider-Man 2 2004. The rest of the games I poured maybe 100s of hours into except TASM 2. I LOVED TASM 1 and was very disappointed in 2. Shattered Dimensions was amazing to me and then edge of time sucked and Yes, even Spider-Man 3 as recently as last year i beat my like 5th time or something. Except for TASM2, Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 2002 I regulary go back and replay all of these games. Spidey games usually cook, I'd argue in terms of numbers he has the best catalogue of games of any superhero and yes that includes Batman. Theres less than 10 great Batman games. Ultimate Spider-Man was my first Spidey game. It has so much charm and racing The Human Torch will forever be ingrained in my mind. TASMs story really grabbed me, Web of Shadows is peak combat and second in swinging, Shattered Dimension is fun and the best aesthetically and Spider-Man 2000 is pure comic shlocky goodness, Friend or Foe is fun with a friend in short bursts and Spider-Man 3 is super nostalgic. Those quick time events TRAINED me

I honestly agree about the idea of Spider-Man 2002 basically being the 3rd game in the 2000 games *2000 and then enter electro* since they do play the same, granted I always enjoyed the transition from going through the stages from 2000 and enter electro *like video game stages and environments of NYC* to the idea of a more bigger budget title, as for the voice acting, I can't really bring myself to hate the performance of 2002, 🙏 as I do tend to say them myself quite a bit *if anything I memorize more of the lines from 2002 moreso than 2000 and enter electro* ironically enough Spider-Man 2 on psp plays the same as these games I'm bringing up 😂 so a Spider-Man ps1 quadrilogy if you will

When it comes to wos the wii version could’ve ran pretty good on ps2\psp if the developers tried. Since some of the games that came out on those consoles at the time were the same just had different controls and graphics resolutions

19:19 Funnily enough, the GBA game fixes this by letting you find upgrades in each level. Each one gives some of your health a white trim where the hunger stops decreasing, so even from the first levels, hunger can't kill you.

I don't see Edge of Time here. Is that still available to buy somewhere? But thanks for the awareness to this link. I've wanted to get my hands on Shattered Dimensions for awhile and the others are a nice bonus.

spider-man 2 enter electro is the only PS1 spider-man game i've played.

does anyone know how i can play these on a chromebook?

so which is best(excluding 2000)?

I have a nostalgic soft spot for Spider-Man 2 on PC but yeah. it's horrible. For what it's worth, it's fun to laugh at at least.

I've beating the amazing spider man game on PC this year.

Ngl, I have both versions growing up, but the PS2 PSP and Wii version of Spider-Man 3 despite having terrible graphics and seemed watered down, is way better than the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC version. The gameplay is better, the web swinging feels better, the missions are done better, transforming back and forth between red and black suit was cool, taking over territories felt more engaging than the 360 version. I used to hate the PS2 version and wanted the 360 version at the time, ended up getting the 360 version later and it wasn't really all that good. The best thing about the 360 version was being able to go into the subway and sewers whenever you want, walking around train stations was cool. Most missions sucked though. Had some cool qte moments.

The tweet got deleted any way i can get any of these games niw

I really wish Sony/Marvel/whoever would re-release Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions

20:17 Nice 👍

Web of shadows was awsome mechanics

Hydrogen bomb Spider-Man 3 on PS3 vs coughing baby TASM2 on XBOX 360

I swear, Tobey McGuire acts more like Spider-Man in the Rami Games then how he was in the Rami Movies. Granted, he was a good Peter Parker in those films, but not a good Spider-Man.

i grew up with the activision marvel games, some stinkers and some genuinely good games, sucks u cant play them anymore

I still play web of shadows on the 360

20:00 it took me way too long on that joke.

Do you not generally play beat-em-ups?

Bro you sound like Ted Nivison

I agree Amazing Spiderman was better than Raimi's. Nobody made being Spiderman look more fun in the first movie than Garfield did, and then the most miserable at the end of part 2. His was the grittiest AND most fun version. There were things that happened in Raimi's trilogy that made no sense whatsoever, like demonstrating super powerful, untested technology in SOMEONE'S APARTMENT and that impossible triple flip in the air when Peter suddenly dodged Flash despite never demonstrating that kind of athleticism before.

I prefer the PS2/Wii version of Spider-Man 3 the Movie the Game, over the other PS3/360/PC Version. For one thing, the graphics doesn’t look like shit, and while most of the cutscenes are lower res versions of the HD versions, the some of the cutscenes were brand new and look decent. I wouldn’t say the PS2 version’s good, but I would say it’s not bad.

why did spiderman 2 pc look worse than the console version😭

I honestly always though you would have a HUGE bushy beard

42:00 Nah, people still hate Amazing 2. Only the first one has gotten reappprasial mostly thanks to Andrew Garfield stealing the show in No Way Home. I remember even at the tame people thought Amazing 2 was mediocre at best.
