If the cutscene exists at all and wasn't deleted out of existence during development, I think it would be on one of the lead programmers' hard-drives. Who knows, maybe they have an intact working copy? Stranger things have happened like a finished build of the lost media Superman ps1 game surfacing online. A full 98% complete build of the game was uploaded by the former dev out of the blue!
Holy S I just watched this video. I'm the one who started all the hype on TH-cam about this scene as I saw it back in 2001. I knew I wasn't crazy and that it did exist! You guys are amazing, we're getting close!
The other suspicious thing is that on the newspapers, all the characters photos are 3d captured except for thor. I think they simply didn't like his 3d design.
If I had to guess: They were planning on simply hiding the WTC aspect of the buildings and there was a disconnect between the people altering the game's story to reflect that and some of the marketing team forgetting it was changed. Ergo, someone at marketing forgot that Thor bit got cut entirely. Which...that ITSELF raises some questions why they didn't even think about that.
Or the wtc buildings weren't even in the shot of this cutscene, and they just randomly deleted things including this cutscene in a panic when re-releasing the (censored) game...
Let's not worry people, let's wait another 22 years for the FMV itself to be found, if an image is found, then for any reason it has been preserved somewhere.
Now all we need to find is the cut Beetle boss. Vicarious Visions had to cut his fight out due to deadlines and so beetle was only seen in cutscenes. Apparently we were going to fight him on a construction building rooftop, something Ultimate Spiderman eventually did. All the evidence we have of the fight right now are audio files of Beetle's boss fight lines. But I'm still convinced remnants of the level remain somewhere
Really? I always wondered about Beetle, who he was and what he was doing in this game. He just sorta appeared and then disappeared without really doing anything.
I can't believe this is happening right now. More than +20 years for this! Thank you for share it. This channel keeps alive my love for the old Spiderman games from my childhood.
Finally! After 22 years, I know why Thor got credit for defeating Electro. I knew about the world trade center change, but had never heard Thor was meant to be in the finale. This makes so much sense now, especially if Thor was the one to drop Electro off at the prison, and all that lightning at the top of the tower would surely attract the God of Thunder's attention. I always thought it was Jameson refusing to give Spidey credit and just picked Thor at random.
I thought Jameson just assumed it was Thor stopping Electro due to all those lightning at the top of the building and doesn't want to give credit to Spidey.
It’s so interesting how abrupt the ending is without this scene. Even as a kid I could tell something was off lol. You think there’d be some grand confrontation at the end of the game between Spidey and Electro but the game just ends. Plus the Thor joke comes out of nowhere and doesn’t make a lot of sense. My guess is that there was something related to the World Trade Center so integral to this scene that it was cheaper to just cut it than re-record/reanimate it.
yeah, the game just ends abruptly, probably and that short cutscene you could see in the background they were in the World Trade Center or maybe some joke or line referencing the twin towers
Pretty funny. Probably they cut this scene because felt it unnecessary, or idk. We have a 2 prototypes from August 2001, and pre-911 version. Noone has this scene even in game files (I've checked it), so probably it was deleted from game even earlier, like July, or June. Another question- why they uploaded literally end of game to web? Well, because it already was deleted, and maybe they wanted to save it at least this way..
I never thought that Thor would be in the game other than in the newspaper. What's next, a early concept for The Beetle fight and what about the previous characters that were suppose in SM2 EE, but changed in the last minute like Black Cat, Venom or Mary Jane?
holy shit!! I am so psyched that finally we have actual evidence for this! I even made a thread on the lost media subreddit after seeing that youtube comment from the guy who claimed to watch it on activision's website. if anyone can get the ball rolling, it's you anganoff. I hope one of the major lost media channels also picks up on this.
I watched this cutscene myself way back then, I was browsing through the website mooning over Enter Electro (which I couldn't play since I didn't have a PSone) and thought this was so cool. When I finally played it years later, I kept waiting for Thor to show up. Unfortunately, I can't recall the dialogue or much of it in detail...
Golly! So that's the reason why at the ending, the newspaper says "Mighty Thor Saves Manhattan from Electro Menace" and Thor supposed to appears in this game! Why Activision didn't think about this? I would like see Thor in this game!
I used to frequent that site all the time! I remember going to GameStop on release day to get enter electro only to be told it was delayed. When I saw the thumbnail I instantly recognized that image of Thor from the site but sadly I never watched it thinking it would spoil the game 😂
I am SHOCKED. Like this is crazy. I've been into this for years and I would've thought that this was just someone on Discord grabbing attention, but it's actually real!! This makes no sense and I'm excited to see the story behind this. So cool!! Thanks for the coverage!!
I have the pre 9-11 version. It was an early reviewer copy that I bought on eBay before the official launch. Thor isn't in it except for the newspaper picture.
I’m just shocked that we got anything about this at all. I do hope that someone does have a download of this and puts it on TH-cam or the company does respond back and gives us the video
So happy to see that people haven’t given up on finding this bit of lost media completely. Hopefully 1 day we get to see this cutscene or at least get more details about it. Love the vid
It would be interesting having Thor in a Spider-Man game during that time because what then a superhero game is one with other crossover characters in it especially during that era when crossover were rare in cartoons and games.
Yeah, I downloaded it from Activision site many years ago and I don't have the video clip anymore (lost it in a hard drive crash around 2016), but it goes just as described. Thor face looked pretty flat, as it was a low poly model just like every other character. Perhaps they also used the same model in the character viewer? Perhaps there's an unused Thor model buried in the game files? Around the same time Activision site also hosted the Mutant Academy 2 opening in a very low quality.
So we had someone who really downloaded it! Nice! Is there no chance you made a backup or parts of your Hard Drive can be restored with some recovery tool?
Spider-Man on N64 is fantastic but Spider-Man 2 was so good as well I feel like it doesn’t get the love it deserves! Let’s find this lost media for all Spidey fans!
This is the best Spider-Man game out there. I truly wish they made a 3rd one for the PS1 (they kinda did make a 3rd one but it was for the Gameboy only)
Oh my god!! I’ve wondered about this for YEARS!! I was starting to think it was nothing but a rumor! My mind is blown. Anganoff, you’re amazing for keeping these cherished games alive.
When people play the game and see the ending : Darn it, Jameson! It's Spider-Man who save the day, not Thor! After the Lost Media Discovery : So this is why Thor save the day? Why they didn't put the cutscene in the game?
Definitely always thought it was strange how this game didn't particularly keep the subtle cameos of the greater world of marvel as much as the first. Probably one of the many things lost in translation from going to never soft than VV. I remember beast in the tutorial and a mention of Thor on the newspaper. But that's it if I remember right as far as the story. I'm aware other x-men show up in the actual training modes. Rambles aside, thank you for keeping this duology alive! Never thought a franchise of only 2 games not even 1 apart in release could have lost media
The newspapers were littered with references to the larger world. I know Blade is mentioned in one and Spidey namedrops Elektra. And the final boss battle has Spidey complain that no helicarrier, no fansticar and no Blackbird has come to help him so there were lots of references in it, even if the characters didn't make physical appearances.
(I just put two and two together)If you do like some looking into marvel and the legal rights and stuff they sold the Thor likeness or rights to Sony around this time when the game was made, there wasn’t any Thor movies but the used his likeness in the video game.
Last week I decided to replay Spider-Man's PS1 duology, so I decided to look it up on youtube to see if anything interesting that I didn't already know was said. I guess this is fate, eh
Reminds me of the King's Field Mobile screenshots that I found when trying to look for gameplay. Probably never going to see those games as they're lost to the phones they inhabited. I know there are file explorers for ps1 and ps2 games online, maybe this movie is still on the disc but it's just not in the game. I found many unused music tracks while exploring a few game directories that way
Hey man.. I'm pretty new to your channel.. my love with spiderman & the punisher is neverending.. long story cut short.. spiderman 2000 was my very first video game ever.. & i like the PC version.. i had no idea about it's mods and everything but when i got to know.. it blew me away.. recently i am struggling to adding new skins in to the game.. I also want to add new music into the game but i failed.. Can you help? 🕸️
If they ever make a 911 related movie staring Chris Hemsworth it will literally cause me to fall on the floor laughing because of this cut content, it's pretty amazing that see this myth be confirmed after all time, I always wrote this off as a rumor or an idea they never even implemented but it's all right there, hopefully one day someone will end up finding an unused model of ironman for this game since he was cut too
It's brilliant that lost media from this game, from 2001 by the way, is still being uncovered. This game hits you like a train into nostalgia.
It amazes me that lost media on the internet even exists. Millions of people on the planet and not a single one thought to save the clip?
If the cutscene exists at all and wasn't deleted out of existence during development, I think it would be on one of the lead programmers' hard-drives. Who knows, maybe they have an intact working copy? Stranger things have happened like a finished build of the lost media Superman ps1 game surfacing online.

@Yonatan_Max Stranger things™ huh
Holy S I just watched this video. I'm the one who started all the hype on TH-cam about this scene as I saw it back in 2001. I knew I wasn't crazy and that it did exist! You guys are amazing, we're getting close!
Though it's overshadowed by its predecessor, Enter: Electro is still fun to play and has some nice concepts and features.
Right?! Thank you! 👏🦖
The other suspicious thing is that on the newspapers, all the characters photos are 3d captured except for thor. I think they simply didn't like his 3d design.
FUCKING FINALLY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IM SO GLAD THERES A DISCOVERY

Always pissed this game didn't get either a DC or N64 release
we need an interview with neversoft and the people behind these works

There are audio files of Beetle dialogue? Aw man please send me the link
Really? I always wondered about Beetle, who he was and what he was doing in this game. He just sorta appeared and then disappeared without really doing anything.
¿?
From where you get that info? Can you share?
@@pistolbobcat420 there arent any beetle audio files.
At least the promise was fulfilled with Ultimate Spider-Man.
I can't believe this is happening right now. More than +20 years for this! Thank you for share it. This channel keeps alive my love for the old Spiderman games from my childhood.
first Captain America in the first game’s ending and now Thor!

@wwemusicfanC No. That's my feeling of how this game came to be.
@@Ryowhosakazaki Then say its what you think was supposed to happen, don't post it like its something verifiable.

Do you remember any of the words that were said tho? And how Thor's voice was (deep, high, fast, slow, any accent)
Why didn't you download it when you hsd the chance??? Such a waste
We need to reach out to the studio members who were around this.
and what was the bpm of the main menu music?
I thought Thor on the headlines was something JJ did to piss on Spider-Man but you're telling me it wasn't random?
This is the most rarest image I’ve ever seen. I’ll remember this image in my brain though out the rest of my life.
Your passion for the game is just truly amazing
the fact that i found something new about one of my favorite video games growing up, that is awesome
It amazes me that people still discovers new things about Spidey 1 and 2
Golly! So that's the reason why at the ending, the newspaper says "Mighty Thor Saves Manhattan from Electro Menace" and Thor supposed to appears in this game! Why Activision didn't think about this? I would like see Thor in this game!

This is amazing. Everything about the pre-9/11 version of this game is so interesting to me. I really do hope someday we find it
I have the pre 9-11 version. It was an early reviewer copy that I bought on eBay before the official launch. Thor isn't in it except for the newspaper picture.
Loved these games back in the day.
amazing investigative work, just to think there are still secrets to this Spiderman ps1 game still being uncovered
I’m just shocked that we got anything about this at all. I do hope that someone does have a download of this and puts it on TH-cam or the company does respond back and gives us the video
You earned a sub for this video sir

Daran Norris voiced Thor.

lol i was just searching about this scene and I found this video from 3 weeks ago. noice
I'm still searching for other people that noticed you fight venom on the ground despite the ground supposedly being covered in green fog
I guess the fog didn't reach that particular bit of the ground or something.

I don't think the scene was finished.
prob cut it because of how rough it looks and thought just adding it to the news paper would look better and save space.
Damn! Awesome!
Is there any way to play the Pre-9/11 copy of Enter Electro?
