''Spider-Man: Edge Of Time'' is a 2011 video game made by Beenox and published by [[Activision]], and is the second game produced by the studios to be based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man (following on from their work on ''[[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions]]''). In the game, players control both the [[Marvel Universe|Amazing Spider-Man]] and [[Marvel 2099|Spider-Man 2099]] in two connected timelines that follow the untimely death of Peter Parker. It will feature all-new 'cause-and-effect' gameplay, where choices and actions can have unintended outcomes on the Spider-Man in the opposite timeline, and a storyline written by [[Peter David]], co-creator of Spider-Man 2099.
 
The plot kicks off when evil Alchemax scientist Walker Sloan travels back to modern-day New York and uses his future tech to found Alchemax decades ahead of time. This causes Alchemax to become an even-'''more''' mega [[Mega Corp]] which has managed to [[Take Over the World]]. Spidey 2099, having gained wind of this plot, learns that a key factor is the death of Amazing Spidey and devises a way to communicate with Amazing Spider-Man to help stop Sloan.
 
{{tropelist}}
 
* [[Alliteration]]: The Achievement/Trophy names have noticeable alliteration to them.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: the backstories of new characters like Walker Sloan, Black Cat 2099 and the CEO are all on their figures in the bonus gallery.
Line 22 ⟶ 20:
** Interestingly, the "[[Temporal Paradox]]" move pulls up flickering images of what seem to be Mary Jane and May Parker. Make of that what you will.
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: You can get various alternate costumes.
** Two more were announced after the game as being able to be unlocked through code: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120630130745/http://cdn.herohq.com/marvel/herohq/images/blog/LastSpider-Man2_LargeHiRes.png The Last Stand] outfit, and [https://web.archive.org/web/20151219222412/http://cdn.herohq.com/marvel/herohq/images/blog/Poison_loRes_500.png the Poison costume], with a few more to be announced on the way.
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Anti-Venom apparently does succeed in bringing Amazing Spider-Man to his death (or at least very near it), but Spider-Man 2099 saves him with his future healing tech.}}
* [[Bad Future]]: As the result of Amazing Spider-Man's death.
* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: Walker Sloan/{{spoiler|Atrocity}} and {{spoiler|Peter Parker 2099}}.
Line 71 ⟶ 69:
* [[Just Between You and Me]]: Sloane gives a nice monologue of his plan to his holo-assistant early in the game, unaware Spider-Man 2099 is watching from above.
** Averted later when Amazing Spider-Man meets the CEO of Alchamax, who offers to give him one, but he declines due to other matters. He does get around to giving a short one to Spider-Man 2099 later.
* [[Lazy Artist]]: Thanks to the quick turn around from [[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions|the last Spidey game]], Activision's [[Cash Cow Franchise|tendency to try and]] [[Call of Duty|milk their franchises]] [[Guitar Hero|for all they're worth]] ''and'' the film series reboot set to be released in 2012 (And likely with a tie-in game to boot), people were already voicing concerns that ''Edge Of Time'' was just going to be "''[[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions|Shattered Dimensions]]'' minus the [[Ultimate Spider-Man|Ultimate]] & [[Spider-Man: Noir|Noir]] universes" within a day. Partially averted - early previews have noted that both Spider-Men have similar combat styles to ''Shattered Dimensions''; and screenshots show that whilst Spider-Man 2099 retains the art direction from ''Shattered Dimensions'', Amazing Spider-Man is now rendered in a similar manner, [[Captain Obvious|albeit set in the present day]].
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]:
** "You want a Spider-Man who'll do everything you want? Go play a video game."
Line 102 ⟶ 100:
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Spidey 2099 has kept his habit of saying "Shock" from [[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions|the last game.]]
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Black Cat 2099's outfit, with a cleavage opening right down to her belly button.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: An interesting variant - [[The Spectacular Spider-Man|Josh Keaton]] and [[Spider-Man: The Animated Series|Christopher Daniel Barnes]] return from ''[[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions|Shattered Dimensions]]'' as the voices of the Amazing Spider-Man & Spider-Man 2099 respectively... Replacing [[Neil Patrick Harris|Neil Pat]][[Spider-Man: The New Animated Series|rick Harris]] and [[Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends|Dan Gilvezan]], who voiced the characters in ''Shattered Dimensions'', whilst Keaton & Barnes voiced the Spider-Men of the [[Ultimate Spider-Man|Ultimate]] and [[Spider-Man: Noir|Noir]] universes.
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|The CEO of Alchemax in 2099 (and true [[Big Bad]] of the game) is [[Future Me Scares Me|Peter Parker's future self.]]}}
** Not that Amazing Spider-Man doesn't have fun with it. "[[This Is the Part Where|So this is where you make the big reveal]] and I say, Holy cow! Norman Osborn! Or the Kingpin! Jonah Jameson! C'mon, PLEASE be Jameson..."
