This game would have worked so well as a movie. The writing is insane

I've always loved Miguel's costume's strobe light effect. Wish they'd bring that back

“Explain it to my rapidly retreating backside” is one of the greatest lines in any Spider-Man game

I love the messy webbing patterns on Peter's costume.

I think the black cat portion, while you’re probably right with it being tacked on due to a lack of boss fights, has a purpose within the story. it’s meant to physically demonstrate how twisted this ceo peter parker is and how his desire to “save” all his loved ones will probably end up just like this black cat clone. it shows that ceo parker is not reliable at all and would’ve screwed up any attempt to be a hero and save his loved ones.

The genius of hiring a big name like Val Kilmer is to throw the player off. Surely the famous actor is the big bad. And then to have that rug pulled out from under you is so good. Wish more games did this.

Also, I really like that part where peter puts all his strength into knocking Eddie down with a single punch despite his weakend state. It shows how peter is much stronger than he let's on, but holds back because he doesn't want to kill anyone. Yeah Eddie still got back up, but the fact he got knocked down pretty hard from that state is amazing as is.

I liked the subtle hints the game gave us that peter might be the villain. Mainly when peter guessed the password correctly and figured out how to restart the portal.

I got this game in the mail last week. I'm almost done playing Shattered Dimensions after buying that game because of watching your retrospective. I've been eagerly anticipating your next video, glad it's here and I'm still on a massive Spider-Man kick.

I love that Peter David wrote this game it gives it authenticity and I love that Miguel O'Hara Spider-Man 2099 feels right out of the actual comics

I had this game on the 3ds when it came out and i remember it had a super cool feature where whenever spider-man changed the future you could see it in the other screen so it didn’t interfere with gameplay. super cool idea and it was well executed. I had never seen it played on console and its crazy to see how similar they are!

probably my favorite detail in this game is that you can web an enemy the split second you knock them out so they get webbed up and say muffled lines

The CEO's trying to keep his loved ones alive long after they're supposed to die and is willing to damn himself and the world to do it, instead of dealing it with it like an adult. It's One More Day's characterization of a selfish Peter as a fully fledged villain.

I absolutely love this game, and I didnt know about the 1 year development time they had! My biggest dissappointment with the game was buying it as a kid and then finishing the main story 4 hours later LOL. Now I understand why 😅 Story had me hooked tho. And really made me love 2099 as a character

Peter being voiced by the actor from spectacular and Miguel is voiced by the actor from the 1994 series (or at least a similarly sounding voice) and I absolutely love it

Miguel asking Peter if he wants a 6 hour explanation of paradox theory and Pete saying yes is one of the most classic Peter Parker moments I’ve seen outside the ps4 game that didn’t involve his suffering.

CEO Peter Parker in this game is a perfect, definitive take on the concept and it's sad that we didn't get so much from it as we could if it wasn't rushed. Josh Keaton is perfect for it and it's hard to believe that it's same voice actor as young Peter and it's already gives well written dialogue justice. Peter David nailed it with characterisation: "With great power comes great responsibility, and great opportunity. And the only way to live up to all that responsibility, is to use every opportunity to get all the power". The only aspect I think is flawed is "serum mixed his mind", but it doesn't come out in the story and I like the idea of Parker just falling this low as his own choice while seeing it as extension of his moral code. Man, I would love just any game or reference of evil Peter Parker from this game, because, like I said earlier, it is a perfect take on "evil CEO Parker" which is played sometimes in comics, but never explored so well or given enough attention on how it is fundamentally changes Peter's way of thinking.

Regarding the lack of bosses, I thought about some scenarios they could've used to add some more. They could've had Sloan put a bounty on Spider-man in the heroic age as a precaution in case Anti-Venom failed. In the future, they could've made use of the CEO having hero DNA on file, imagine fighting against Alchemax's recreation of Wolverine or Hulk.

Miguel O'Hara is one of my favorite 'alternate' Spider-Men, and I'm happy he's getting attention in the next Spider-Verse movie. He was also GREAT in this game, the voice casting being a nice touch.
