History VideoGame / SpiderManEdgeOfTime

** The New Ultimate costume notes that there's a new Spider-Man in the Ultimate universe.

* TemporalParadox: Surprisingly, it's used as a ''special move'' in this game.

* OneWingedAngel: [[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 PS1 game.]]

''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 Franchise/SpiderMan (following on from their work on ''VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions''). In the game, players control both the [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Amazing Spider-Man]] and [[ComicBook/SpiderMan2099 Spider-Man 2099]] in two connected timelines that follow the untimely death of Peter Parker. It featured 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 Creator/PeterDavid, co-creator of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099''.

* BrickJoke: O'Hara's usual response to Peter's confusion over [[TimeyWimeyBall the mechanics of time travel]] is to ask him if he wants a two-hour lecture on quantum theory. [[Spoiler: Fast-forward to the ending, where O'Hara actually gives the lecture when Peter asks about their RippleEffectProofMemory.]]

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: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.]]

** It's given a second nod in the bonus costumes, with the [[{{Marvel 1602}} Spider-Man 1602]] and [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan New Ultimate]] costume referring to the "Crisis of the Shattered Dimensions".

* ActorAllusion: Beyond the fact that both Miguel and Peter are voiced by two former Spider-Man voice actors, Miguel looks similar to Peter from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' and Peter looks like Peter from ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' underneath their masks.

* DuelingGames: ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' launched around the same time.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The 2099 Black Cat, [[AllThereInTheManuel according to her unlocked bio]], was programed with a crippling agoraphobia(fear of wide open spaces) to keep her from ever escaping Alchemax.

* LazyArtist: Thanks to the quick turn around from [[VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions the last Spidey game]], Activision's [[CashCowFranchise tendency to try and]] [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty milk their franchises]] [[VideoGame/GuitarHero 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 "''[[VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions Shattered Dimensions]]'' minus the [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate]] & [[ComicBook/SpiderManNoir Noir]] universes" within a day. The final results is pretty similar to Shattered Dimensions but have their differences.

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, [[CaptainObvious albeit set in the present day]].
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall

* FutureSlang: The all-purpose swear word "shock".

* HonorBeforeReason: Though Amazing Spidey freely admits that he [[IDontWantToDie doesn't want to die]], he adamantly refuses to leave the Alchemax building if it means letting Anti-Venom rampage about and endanger innocent people, much to Spidey 2099's annoyance.

'''[[{{Marvel2099}} Spider-Man 2099]]:''' Yeah. For the most part.\\

* AlternateContinuity: If the events present in the story are any indication, then ''Edge of Time'' seems to be ignoring ''2099'''s continuity [[spoiler: as it was established Peter Parker was killed by Dr. Octopus]], and 616's ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' as it has Mary Jane still in a relationship with Peter (whether they're married or not, like their pre-OMD selves, is not explained). Elements from the ''ComicBook/BrandNewDay'' era of the comics are used however (such as Anti-Venom). Justified in the altered timeline that Sloan's changes happened well before they even got together, which changed their whole history. However, this may still be the case in the regular timeline as Peter is seen trying to arrange a date with her before history changed. Interestingly, the "TemporalParadox" move pulls up flickering images of what seem to be Mary Jane and May Parker. Make of that what you will.

* {{Crossover}}: A "truer" crossover than [[VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions the previous game]], the two Spider-Men are in direct contact with each other, their timelimes are "bleeding" together, and they each even spend a couple of levels in each others timeline. They still don't spend a lot of time in the same timeline simultaneously, though...

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: You can get various alternate costumes. Two more were announced after the game as being able to be unlocked through code: [[http://cdn.herohq.com/marvel/herohq/images/blog/LastSpider-Man2_LargeHiRes.png The Last Stand]] outfit, and [[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.

->'''[[ComicBook/SpiderMan Amazing Spider-Man]]:''' O'hara! There's nothing left here to trash! You still there?\\

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 MegaCorp which has managed to TakeOverTheWorld. 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.

* ButterflyOfDoom / ConquerorFromTheFuture: Amazing Spider-Man's death in the present, at the hands of [[spoiler:Anti-Venom controlled by Walker Sloan, a scientist from the year 2099]] creates a CrapSackWorld, which is where Spider-Man 2099 comes in.

** When Miguel contacted Peter via AppliedPhlebotinum telepathy, the latter asks, half-jokingly, if any other [[VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions "selves"]] [[HearingVoices are in his head too]]. [[note]]It's not clear if the two games are in the same continuity, or this version of Peter went through Shattered Dimensions, or only the original timeline Peter, or--''[[TimeyWimeyBall ouch!]]''[[/note]]

** 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.

* MeanwhileInTheFuture: Both Spider-Men are actually working together & ''talking'' to each other whilst in their home time periods -- Amazing Spider-Man can destroy things so that they won't be there in the future, after said thing has created a problem for Spider-Man 2099. Justified by the creation of a second time gate, which linked the two moments in history and allowed for instantaneous changes.

** Jameson speculates that people idolize Spider-Man enough to make a [[Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark Spider-Man musical]].

* TechnoBabble: Amazing Spider-Man rattles this off while they look up Alchemax's archives, including [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration "uncoupling the Heisenberg compensators".]] 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 [[{{Defictionalization}} "wait,]] [[InUniverse what?"]]

* AlternateContinuity: If the events present in the story are any indication, then ''Edge of Time'' seems to be ignoring ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' as it has Mary Jane still in a relationship with Peter (whether they're married or not, like their pre-OMD selves, is not explained).

* ClothingDamage: Amazing Spider-Man's costume gets wrecked over the course of the game. Near the end, [[spoiler: his hair and ear are clearly visible.]]

-->'''Spider-Man''': *crawling away weakly, Anti-Venom poised to strike* O’Hara…maybe I would’ve listened to you... if you didn’t say "shock" all the time.

* CombatTentacles: Doctor Octopus is an aversion, [[DemotedToExtra generally just being an extra]] in the story. [[spoiler: Atrocity]], however...
* ContinuityNod: When Miguel contacted Peter via AppliedPhlebotinum telepathy, the latter asks, half-jokingly, if any other [[SpiderManShatteredDimensions "selves"]] [[HearingVoices are in his head too]].

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: [[spoiler: The future version of Peter Parker, who runs Alchemax]]. He almost looks a bit like [[spoiler: Norman Osborn]].

* DarkerAndEdgier: While [[SpiderManShatteredDimensions the previous game]] had some dark moments, this game amps it up with a generally darker tone and more immediate threats of death and action consequences.
* DeadpanSnarker: 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:
--> '''Walker''': Didn't know, don't care.
* [[spoiler:DeathIsCheap: Amazing Spider-Man lampshades the frequency of this with comic book heroes after his own experience, saying he knows how CaptainAmerica feels. [[ComicBook/{{X-Men}} And Jean Grey. And Colossus.]] He'd have kept going if Spider-Man 2099 hadn't stopped him.]]

* IronicEcho: Tends to be exchanged between the two Spider-Men, such as "do better than your best!".
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Sloane gives a nice monologue of his plan to his holo-assistant early in the game, unaware Spider-Man 2099 is watching from above.

* LazyArtist: Thanks to the quick turn around from [[SpiderManShatteredDimensions the last Spidey game]], Activision's [[CashCowFranchise tendency to try and]] [[CallOfDuty milk their franchises]] [[GuitarHero 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 "''[[SpiderManShatteredDimensions Shattered Dimensions]]'' minus the [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate]] & [[SpiderManNoir Noir]] universes" within a day.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall:

** Shortly before the final battle, the FinalBoss refers to it as a BossBattle. It doubles as an IncrediblyLamePun, since the FinalBoss is a CorruptCorporateExecutive.

* MythologyGag: Jameson speculates that people idolize Spider-Man enough to make a [[Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark Spider-Man musical]].

-->'''Parker:''' "Oh... my God."

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 PS1 game.]]

* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: Subverted when Amazing Spider-Man tries to use Spider-Man 2099's password, which is just "Lyla", to access Alchemax's archives and it doesn't work. It's then play straight when Spidey grumbles that he wishes it could just grant him access and it does.
** [[spoiler:And here lies a bit of Fridge Brilliance: WHY do you think the archive lets Peter Parker have the access he asked for?]]
* PoweredArmor[=/=]SpiderTank: [[spoiler: Peter Parker 2099 pilots one of these during the final battle. Amazing Spider-Man speculates that Peter's powers have deteriorated over time, making the suit a necessity.]]

* Really700YearsOld: Black Cat 2099 was given an anti-aging drug, resulting in her looking younger than she really is. [[spoiler: Same goes for Evil Peter.]]

-->'''Spider-Man 2099:''' The part will be safe to take after all three consoles around it are deactivated.
-->'''Amazing Spider-Man:''' Why do these things always come in threes?
-->'''Spider-Man 299:''' I have no idea.
-->'''Amazing Spider-Man:''' You know, that's going to bug me the rest of the day.

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: The Spider-Man of the year 2099 ''is'' trying to prevent the death of the present day Spider-Man...
** [[spoiler: It's also the motive of the true BigBad, 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.]]
* ShoutOut: Over the game, the two Spider-Man make references to CaptainAmerica, the ComicBook/{{X-Men}}, ComicBook/IronMan and the Franchise/FantasticFour.
* SirSwearsalot: Spidey 2099 has kept his habit of saying "Shock" from [[SpiderManShatteredDimensions the last game.]]

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: The CEO of Alchemax in 2099 (and true BigBad of the game) is [[FutureMeScaresMe Peter Parker's future self.]]]]
** Not that Amazing Spider-Man doesn't have fun with it. "[[ThisIsThePartWhere 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..."
* TechnoBabble: Amazing Spider-Man rattles this off while they look up Alchemax's archives, including [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration "uncoupling the Heisenberg compensators".]]
** 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 [[{{Defictionalization}} "wait,]] [[InUniverse what?"]]
* TeleportingKeycardSquad: Usually literally.

* TimeyWimeyBall: A gameplay mechanic - Let's say Spidey 2099 is having trouble fighting an advanced mech, if Amazing Spidey destroys the prototype in his time line, the mech won't be there to fight Spidey 2099.

--> '''Miguel''': I'd rather not bring our deadline up against the Edge of Time!

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Peter Parker 2099]] starts ranting at Miguel as he is defeated.

* YouFightLikeACow: It's ''{{Spider-Man}}'' for crying out loud, and he's being written by Creator/PeterDavid to boot.
