Last week we got the chance to sit down and talk with the head-hauncho over at Shaba Games about the upcoming action/adventure game Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. During the interview Chris Scholz discussed a bunch of different aspects of his new Spidey game and what will help it stand out from the crowded market of mediocre superhero titles to hit store shelves recently.

We were also surprised to find out the most difficult part of creating a game based around the "web slinger" is actually the camera system, not the graphics or story line. Anyhow check out the full interview below (with trailer) and stay tuned right here to PlanetXbox360 for a hands-on preview of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows very soon; the game hits store shelves on October 21, 2008.

The votes have been tallied, and to [Fahey's] great surprise and dismay, the Spider-Man: Web of Shadows box art has been chosen by the fans themselves, and they chose...poorly. The choices were either Spider-Man holding a dome-less snow globe or Spider-Man with concept art for arms.

Ex-God of War director David Jaffe has updated his personal blog with a post about the new Spider-Man game intended for the people who are making it. Come and read this..."Please stop putting Spiderman games in big open sandbox environments where you swing around and do oh so slight variations on 4 pretty dull mission types (chase/race/collect/etc) and then once in a while toss in a boss fight and/or a somewhat unique mission," begins ... » Read More

TVGB: "The new Spider-Man game, Web of Shadows, is all about seizing control¿or we guess it's all about seizing control since the website for the game is SeizeControl.com. Really, we don't know that much about it yet other than the info we gleaned from our interview on the game and the whole seizing control theme. To uphold this theme the good people at Activision are letting the fans make many decisions on how the marketing for the product will go."

Spider-Man fans will have the option of being the traditional good-guy web-slinger or operate on the supervillain side of the fence in new Spidey game Web of Shadows, judging by first details. Teasing information has appeared on a teaser website for the new game, which reveals that it's set in New York City (no surprise there) and that Web of Shadows "gives you an unprecedented level of gameplay choice." ... » Read More

Activision announced today that Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is currently in the works from Shaba Games and Treyarch for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Nintendo DS, Wii and PC. Although it wasn't ready to say too much about the action-adventure game, Activision did tell us that Web of Shadows will be set in a free-roaming, open-ended New York that combines web slinging with customizable superpowers. There will be the traditional combo attacks on the ground, but the game will also feature a brand new emphasis on vertical combat as gamers take Spidey to the skies and duke it out with bad guys.

However, it might not just be foes who are getting socked in the jaw. According to Activision, Spider-Man's latest adventure will let players choose how they want to play -- if folks want to be the friendly neighborhood superhero, they can, but they can also ignore missions and be the anti-hero who is only looking out for himself. Marvel heroes and villains will pop up in the adventure, and gamers will have the ability to change sides as they see fit.

Activision is keeping its lips sealed about what Spider-Man is up against in the new game but we know it's a threat to the entire world and that it can do some real damage to New York. From the one screenshot and teaser trailer, it looks like Spidey's up against a number of villains who can redecorate buildings and create giant oozing black tendrils. The black gunk and the alien-looking dudes crawling on the side of the building in the teaser makes us think symbiote, but there's no way to know what's going on at this point.
