''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
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.
Line 35:
* [[Comes Great Responsibility]]: You knew this line was coming, but {{spoiler|evil CEO Peter Parker is the one who says it.}}
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Doctor Octopus is an aversion, [[Demoted to Extra|generally just being an extra]] in the story. {{spoiler|Atrocity}}, however...
* [[Continuity Nod]]: When Miguel contacted Peter via [[Applied Phlebotinum]] telepathy, the latter asks, half-jokingly, if any other [[Spider
** It's given a second nod in the bonus costumes, with the [[Marvel 1602|Spider-Man 1602]] and [[Ultimate Spider-Man|New Ultimate]] costume referring to the "Crisis of the Shattered Dimensions".
** Also, there's the various archive rooms of Alchemax's CEO {{spoiler|aka Peter Parker 2099}}. They're filled with statues of Amazing Spider-Man's villains from ''Shattered Dimensions'', bearing the exact same designs.
Line 43:
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: {{spoiler|The future version of Peter Parker, who runs Alchemax}}. He almost looks a bit like {{spoiler|Norman Osborn}}.
* [[Cross Counter]]: {{spoiler|How Amazing Spider-Man's fight with Anti-Venom ends.}}
* [[Crossover]]: A "truer" crossover than [[Spider
* [[Cyberpunk]]: 2099
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: If you're used to the ''Shattered Dimensions'' controls, you might have some initial adjustment trouble with the Wii version. Thankfully, [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]] and you can switch to the previous game's controls.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: While [[Spider
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Both Spider-Men bring this in full force.
** When {{spoiler|Spider-Man 2099 fights Anti-Venom and Anti-Venom proves to be unable to drain his powers due to them not being radiation-based}}, Walker says to Spider-Man 2099's reveal:
Line 52:
* {{spoiler|[[Death Is Cheap]]: Amazing Spider-Man lampshades the frequency of this with comic book heroes after his own experience, saying he knows how [[Captain America]] feels. [[X-Men|And Jean Grey. And Colossus.]] He'd have kept going if Spider-Man 2099 hadn't stopped him.}}
* [[Downloadable Content]]: Four alternate costumes based on the "Identity Crisis" storyline.
* [[Dueling Games]]: ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]'' launched around the same time.
* [[Fallen Hero]]: {{spoiler|Peter Parker 2099.}}
* [[Final Boss Preview]]: A very subtle one. {{spoiler|In the room with the unlockable costume stands, you can find one in the ground with the armor the boss wears, which is also an unlockable costume.}}
Line 71:
* [[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
* [[Leaning
** "You want a Spider-Man who'll do everything you want? Go play a video game."
** Shortly before the final battle, the [[Final Boss]] refers to it as a [[Boss Battle]]. It doubles as an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]], since the [[Final Boss]] is a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]].
* [[Meanwhile in
** Justified by the creation of a second time gate, which linked the two moments in history and allowed for instantaneous changes.
* [[Monster Closet]]: The 2099 levels ''adore'' this.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Black Cat 2099, of course.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Jameson speculates that people idolize Spider-Man enough to make a [[Spider Man Turn Off the Dark
** When Spidey is first informed of quantum causality, he says "That's Amazing! Spectacular, even!"
** Spider Man 2099's swinging hearkens back to the 2000 Live Action films; there's even similar music.
** The New Ultimate costume notes that there's a new Spider-Man in the Ultimate universe.
* [[Old Save Bonus]]: If you have a ''[[Spider
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: {{spoiler|After Anti-Venom gains control of himself, he proceeds to attack Walker Sloan. Sloan runs to the time portal while Doc Ock is repairing it, and all three are tossed into the unstable portal. Out comes Atrocity, a monstrous combination of the three, similar to Monster Ock in the [[PS 1]] game.}}
* [[Orange-Blue Contrast]]: Pictured above in the poster, also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIsDwhRWK1k all over the trailer]. It seems blue represents the future, and orange the present. If so, prepare to see a lot of this trope.
Line 100:
** {{spoiler|It's also the motive of the true [[Big Bad]], Peter Parker's future self (the CEO of Alchemax in 2099), who wants to go back in time to fix all of the mistakes he made in the past.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Over the game, the two Spider-Man make references to [[Captain America]], the [[X-Men]], [[Iron Man]] and the [[Fantastic Four]].
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Spidey 2099 has kept his habit of saying "Shock" from [[Spider
* [[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
* [[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..."
* [[Techno Babble]]: Amazing Spider-Man rattles this off while they look up Alchemax's archives, including [[Star Trek:
** The funny thing is, Spidey 2099 responds to each line with "of course I did" or "oh wait, I didn't," which actually causes Peter to stop and go "wait, what?"
* [[Teleporting Keycard Squad]]: Usually literally.
