    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.

    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.

      ​@@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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 think that thanks to the new Ultimate Spider-Man comics, more heads are turning their way to this game, in curiosity of the original Ultimate Spider-Man entry to the comics…

    I had Gameboy advance and GameCube version
    I got this game because I hated that you couldn’t touch the floor with tobeys first Spider-Man game
