Is there a particular reason why the black symbiote is bonded with Ultimate Spider-Man instead of Amazing Spider-Man?
We wanted the symbiote in the game just because of the different gameplay it would bring. It ended up in Ultimate mostly because we wanted Amazing to be the one that everybody knows. That’s why Amazing ended up being the red and blue suit, and the symbiote ended up in the Ultimate universe. So it wasn’t really any complicated decision, it was just mostly about recognition for those characters. But we do explain at the beginning of the game why the Ultimate universe has the black suit. It’s part of the story. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is out now for PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS, with a PC version following later in the year.
