![]() ![]() Meanwhile, Activision has yet to announce its next Spider-Man game-the latest being 2008's Spider-Man: Web of Shadows-though the same rumor that accurately claimed High Moon was working on a new Transformers game (now known to be Transformers: War for Cybertron) also indicated that Radical, responsible for the 79-rated super-powered action game Prototype, is crafting a new Spider-Man. "I was thinking that when we did the great Spider-Man PlayStation game, we got a 95 rating. There is a bug that causes Spider-Man to follow an improper path while chasing venom out of the building near the end, causing Spider-Man to become to far apart from. "I remember walking out of the meeting saying, 'Why would we make an 80-rated game?' Even adjusting for genre," he continued. During the level 'Chase Venom', Spider-Man must chase venom to a skyscraper, where-in the game plays an in-game cut scene of the two chasing each other through the skyscraper. "The producers said, 'Well, it's a kid's game, you don't get the best ratings on a kid's game because reviews aren't going to review them as favorably, so if you look at them objectively an 80 is actually a good rating for a kid's game or movie game,'" explained Kotick. This particular entry in the series was one of the earliest titles to include switching between two heroes at the end of each battle: Spider-Man and Captain America. The admission came about as Kotick was discussing whether or not kids and movie games suffer from a critical bias, explaining that he had "one of those wake-up calls" a few years back, after Blizzard executives asked why Activision was hoping an unspecified "kids game" would get an aggregate Metacritic review score of 80. The next entry in the Spider-Man series of games would be a side-scrolling action game released in 1989 for systems such as Commodore64, ZX Spectrum, Amiga, and Atari ST.
