My friend John Hall worked on this game, and we had some very detailed discussions about the PS2 vs GameCube vs Xbox (NVidia) fixed-function shaders. He much preferred the PS2 hardware shaders, as their clamping worked better for the overall cel-shaded look. He sadly died at a very young age, but his early work in the open-source SDL library lives on. Treyarch’s game after this one had a dedication to him in the credits.
Damn
Really? Is there a way to contact him?
@@coyoteclan480 Yeah do a séance
My favourite thing about this game is the first person you consume as Venom isn't just some random little kid, it's a little kid who's lost his balloon - calling back to the hated sidequest in Spider-Man 2 The Game.
not that deep
Things to clarify:
1. The whisper "Spider-Man" in the Java is from Spider-Man 2 movie where Tobey says "I'm Spider-Man no more."
2. There was supposed to be a sequel, but it was canceled. The closest we got was a followup titled "Spider-Man: Battle for New York" for Nintendo DS and GameBoy Advanced. It loosely follows the same story from the Ultimate universe and you get to play as both Spider-Man and Green Goblin. There are voices in the DS version and The Avengers make an appearance.
Ooh, Flandrew should cover Spider-Man: Battle for New York next!
@@brandonkirkendall1466 That would be really short compared to games that feature console versions. Although, I am looking forward to other Spider-Man games: Friend or Foe, Web of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions, Edge of Time, TASM1 and 2. There are differences.
FoF has playable Electro and Carnage in PSP.
WoS has costume select on Wii, while PS2 and PSP feature Amazing Allies Edition which is watered down. As well as NDS with Green Goblin.
Shattered Dimensions on NDS only has 3 Spider-Men that removes Ultimate and Josh Keaton voices Amazing instead.
EoT on NDS has different boss battles and has Anti-Venom combined with Rhino instead of Doc Ock. It was meant to be ported onto PC, but it was canceled.
TASM1 has Wii port that features no open world, but WiiU and PSVita does have that feature.
TASM2 has a Java version of the game that features Gwen Stacy surviving the ending.
@@NewSuperAvenger Yeah, I want to see all of those ones, too.
why doesn't sony just relist all spiderman games then and make sequels to ultimate?
Battle for NY is a prequel based on what comics the game was adapting and in the game cutscenes Peter in the start acts like he never met goblin before as opposed to Ultimate where he knows him well. Plus the Avengers in the Ultimate universe are called The Ultimates.
That baby whisper got me cackling 😂
I absolutely love the artstyle of Ultimate Spider-Man on the PS2. With a higher resolution and cleaning some textures, the game visually still holds up.
sony can just put it on ps4 and ps5, don't know what their issue is
I felt alone for preferring this over Spider-Man 2
I feel that it has certain elements that were better such as the ability to play as Venom and also the ability to climb the web strands (which sadly has not been seen again.) I still do prefer Spider-Man 2 over this but it's definitely close.
Fortunately, there's a professional game designer who called Ultimate a vastly superior game.
your not alone 🥲
@@bigkmoviesandgamesyou can actually climb the webs in WOS
@@jurassicmat9793 that's interesting I didn't know that which is funny because I actually played that game all the way through a couple of times. I guess I just forgot. Lol
I was literally thinking yesterday “man it’s wild Flandrew hasn’t done a comparison video for Ultimate Spiderman” and here we are. I played the Xbox version at a friends and had the GBA version myself, lot of good memories there.
My favourite of the three spiderman games I played on pc as a kid. The ability to free roam and web sling from the actual buildings was killer, compared to foggy new york in the 1999 pc game and the floating webhook points in spiderman 2 PC. I remember playing on an iGPU without pixel shader, which made venom's tentacles rainbow colored instead of purple.
Man i really love this "comparing every version" series.
Hugs from brazil
This is one of those childhood games that I somehow lost and feel regret over losing immensely. Loved this one.
I lost my gamboy version but still have the ps2 version. I still regret losing the game boy version it kills me
Ultimate Spider-Man really is a classic comic book style video game. It's incredible that they brought Brian Michael Bendis to be the writer for this game. Wish they make Spider-Man games, with style like this.
To me, the console version of Ultimate took the best aspects of Spider-Man 2 and perfected it. I find myself going back to this game more than the other. I also had the GBA version growing up. For the Venom levels, I would often spam feeding on enemies because I thought it was fun.
I remember playing it on my mom's PC when I was like 5-6 years old and I also remember that this game was extremely difficult. I got stuck on the level where you need to fight Electro as Venom while protecting Spider-Man. So at some point I dropped the story entirely and just enjoyed swinging around the city.
To be honest I always thought the DS game Spider-man: Battle For New York was a prequel game that only released for a handheld console due to a low budget or something
1:33 this is why I wasn't surprised that they expanded the map in SM 2, I was just waiting for it to happen because they could do it in 2005 but needed that much time for doing it again.
You can actually kill on the main console Game, if you knock someone off a building the skull icon shows above their head like when you kill enemies as venom so you don't need to web them, because they're dead
You know I always hated how the later Ultimate Spider-Man issues not only retconed this entire game but also kinda made a worst version of it later and did nothing with the fact that this game is now it’s own separate Ultimate Universe or alternate timeline or whatever this game is now. In fact if Marvel wanted tho bring back Ultimate Peter or the Ultimate Universe as a whole they could have used the game version. I mean this game was originally canon so the history would likely be exactly the same up until a certain point. Not to mention the fact that they could have used said retcon to bring back Ultimate Eddie Brock since in a later issue the Beetle just takes him away and we NEVER see him again
I think the strangest scenario here for me was playing the game before finding out about the comic which it was adapted from. Venom just...dissappears? What? Well, I'm glad he got to have a conclusion here.
My favorite PS2 Spidey game, I still replay it once a year to this day. If only it could be remastered, because it's honestly probably in the top 3 of Spider-Man games.
You forgot to mention the PS2 exclusive Limited Edition that has bonus videos and extra concept art.
2:32 Rami Spider-Man is allowed to fold a man in half with a punch but Ultimate can only knock someone out and web them.
8:35 that's totally Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 2 telling uncle Ben he's Spider-Man no more lmao
We were really spoiled with great Spider-Man games in the early to late 2000s.
For Ps2 they have other copy that is Limited Edition with a sign from Stan Lee alongside the art and creator for Ultimate Spiderman Comic in the cover. They even add a free comic of Venom Story Arc to help someone who hasn't rad the comic,and there's a bonus video tell behind the scene of making the game.
Also the Mechanic for Venom gameplay for DS version,the bring that mechanic again for Iron Man 2 on NDS for War Machine level.
You needed to finish the year on a high note, of course you needed you. Man I do hope this game gets a little remaster... But I doubt'll happen.
If I am to recommend a video, that'd a comparing between all the versions of Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. That'd be great. Happy New Years, Flandrew!
Now that I've watched this video, I kind of want to see the console version of Ultimate Spider-Man get an HD remaster. The cel-shaded comic book-esque artstyle still looks good today, and I feel like this is what an animated Spider-Man movie should sort of look like (look, I know a lot of people love the Spider-Verse movies, but I watched the first one and I just couldn't get into it). Kind of a shame for me as a PlayStation guy that it would probably end up being an Xbox-exclusive due to Activision now being part of Microsoft.
I heard there was gonna be a sequel to this game that would have involved the Green Goblin and we would have been explored Coney Island. However Spider man Battle for New York released after this game so I wonder was Battle for New York supposed to be a handheld version of that canceled sequel?
The venom gameplay was badass. I was 8 years old and breaking backs like a madman.
This is my favorite PS2 Spider-Man game!
I love how you could just find shocker and the ringer randomly throughout the world and beat them up, as in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics they were constantly the but of the joker,
I think at this point you are just reading my mind when it comes to finding games for you to review. This Was my absolute favourite when it came out. And I still play it to this day. Keep it coming!
My bootleg copy had a game breaking bug where the game would freeze on the first level of playing as Venom. Little I knew that this can be fixed by switching the game to another language.
I played both the GBA and PS2 versions. I thought the GBA version was fine for a GBA game. It gave me spoilers for the PS2 version but when I did play the PS2 version a couple years later, I was completely blown away by how good it was.
This has always been better than Spider-Man 2 for me. One of the few games I find myself replaying almost every year. It's so much fun
I can't believe you didn't point out that the balloon kid from Spider-Man 2 came back for you to consume. He even shouts "my balloon!" when he spawns in.
Nostalgia i haven’t played this USM in nearly 20 years. Happy new year Flandrew
I love the Video!! Keep on your great work 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Total Mayhem deserves a video too
I loved this game as a kid and it's still pretty good today. With the Ultimate Comics coming back, I wish we could get a sequel to this, or something.
Never played or knew about this one so it was cool to learn about it. Happy new year.
Great video. Love this! 💙❤️
I remember playing this on the GameCube as a kid and being blown away that you could get venom to straight up eat people.
I love how hig you could jump as venom with rhw shoulder buttons.
I really wanted this for the Cube, but never even found a copy for purchase 😢
Yo my favorite Spidey game ever! Had it for GameCube back in the day. Ended up getting the GBA version recently and enjoying that one too! Love your content!
In the 3d version, you can actually k word people, occasionally you'll have to fight against people on rooftops and you can throw the enemies down the rooftops causing them to die. They lose all health and don't need to be webbed up after falling either
the cartoonish / comic art style they went for this is just brilliant! because of that the game still looks good up to this day and I doubt it will ever go bad
Flandrew you are killing it buddy, I can't wait to see the Metal Slug series from the aracde
Happy New Year Flandrew 🎉
As a lifelong Queens resident, I can tell you that Queens Blvd. is called "The Boulevard of Death" for a reason.
6:39 It's my own private domicile and i will not be harassed.
Ngl in terms of cutscenes, ds version had the best comic book experience. The panel by panel artwork that weren't shown in the main console version was awesome!
I played the PS2 version of Ultimate Spider-Man.
As a resident of Queens, can confirm we constantly flinch when Peter Parker approaches.
When is the video of Star Wars Battlefront games coming out?
I had the gba version, it’s also where I’ve first seen carnage
Gba version was my jam. I liked it more than the DS
I actually still have the Ultimate Spider-Man video game for the Nintendo GameCube version. Speaking of which I had just recently got the Nintendo GameCube from the flea market and I'm currently playing it once again. Sometimes I wish they had made a sequel of the game.
i've always liked ultimate spider-man more than spider-man 2.. the art style really sets it apart nowadays too, just wish the symbiote suit was easier to obtain
Will always be my favorite Spider-Man game
To this day I still never managed to get 100% in USM, those collectibles are fun to get cause they unlock bonuses like costumes, comic cover, etc... don't show up on the map and there's 190 of them.
Probably the best classic Spidey game alongside Web of Shadows and Edge of Time
Are you going to do Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions?
8:38 i just noticed, that's a clip of Tobey's voice lmfao 🤣
VIVID memory of playing the Java one for the first time, I remember playing that before the PS2 version for some reason.
Solid VO direction from Margaret Tang
The lady who didn't flee took one look at Venom and was okay with what was about to happen. A pitiful waste, but I can't hate that she knew what she was about and stuck to her guns.
Best spider man game of all time . I always go back and replay it . Currently trying to 100% the pc version on steam deck .
Do it more , loving the series
Best Spider-Man game ever:
1. Nostalgia
2. Music❤
3. Villains
i say “but which one?!” like i’m singing my favorite lyrics lmao
The ultimate comparison
Happy New Year
I played the hell out of this game when I was younger
All game were great. I wish we got remakes
I got the DS version as a free store bonus with my Mario Kart DS system.
This game seriously needs a remaster. Happy New Year everyone!
I had the GameCube version! Amazing game.
Kind of wild that the prequel to this game was handheld only, would've been cool if there was at least a wii and ps2 version of it but it probably wouldn't have been worth it with the third movie game and web of shadows.
I don't think Spider-Man Battle For New York is a sequel. It's actually a prequel, because it actually explains how Norman Osbourne became the Green Goblin using the 02 Compound, whereas in Ultimate Spider-Man, he's imprisoned in a S.H.I.E.L.D aquatic base, freed by the Beetle, then fights Spider-Man.
@@ricardonb6375 My bad, forgot that it took place before the first game.
Still looks beautiful.
After Spiderman 2000, this is my favourite spiderman game
I loved this more (the ps2 version) more than SM2. I loved the comic book style
Ngl i think it'd be a good idea if someone makes a creepypasta or analog horror series on ultimate spider man Java cuz of its uncanny'ness and cuz of that creepy voice saying spider man
I don't think it's just "some guy" whispering Spider-Man in the mobile phone version. I think it's a low-quality wav of Tobey Maguire saying "Who am I? I'm Spider-Man" from the first movie.
I loved this game. So good
When is this game getting a remaster for the PS5 and the PS4? I love the Ultimate Spider-Man Video Game which led to my obsession with Reading the Ultimate Universe.
For Christmas I made 20lbs of chicken wings for only about 6 adaults. Needless to say I shit my pants. Happy new year drewbert
I'm a simple man, I see a new flandrew video... I click.
I always preferred Ultimate Spiderman to Spiderman 2. The controls just felt better and the combat and bosses were more fun. Though replaying it in 2023 the swinging to a while to get used to again.
This was jokes, giggling away watching this. Whispering doll clip 😂
As a New Yorker from queens, we do flitch but only because we can’t walk properly
Wow, the DS version looks really promising and fun
I have very good memories of this😃
Please compare spider man friend or foe,web of shadows and the amazing spider man 1
And please compare lord of the rings Aragorn's quest and 007 quantum of solace versions
I can't believe someone thought it was a good idea to have Venom eat a child.
I like the game but I just wish it had been a bit longer.
I only grew up with the Gameboy version, and idk why but I still prefer it over the other versions
This video was uploaded at 14:00
14:25😊
I loved playing every version of games I enjoyed especially on mobile phones which have some goats like snake 🐍 😂
I 95%agree with this list. Id swap gba and og ds but other than that it looks correct
Back when Spider-Man was for everyone
"Ultimate Spider-Man". Aka, "Spider-Man 2", but significantly better and less clunky.
I remember hyping this game a lot when it came out, but with insufficient funds I was going to wait until it got cheaper, and then a lot of other games came and stole my attention and I kind of forgot about it.
Guess I'll need to scrounge up a used copy and dig out my Xbox,
as with most older licenced games it's not going to be remastered or get backwards compatibility any time soon.
