Spider-Man 3 video game preview

[Fran]

The new EGM issue (Sept. '06, issue 207) has a little sneak peek at what's going down in the October issue.

A world-exclusive preview of the Spider-Man 3 game for the PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 is gonna be in the EGM October issue.

Here's the excerpt from the end of the Sept. issue:

"Black won't be the new red-and-blue until next summer, but we're way ahead of the fashions with our world-exclusive first look at Spider-Man 3 for the PS3, the Wii, and the Xbox 360. You'll see Spidey resplendent in his gooey coal-black unitard, tangling with baddies such as Venom, Sandman and more. We swing by the game's makers at Treyarchm the same gang who developed the Spider-Man 2 movie game, to see how they're reinventing the sling-anywhere formula to mesh with one of next summer's biggest films."

I can't wait for the game. I loved S-M2 for the PS2. It was a great game.

no screens eh?

 

[Fran]

no screens eh?

No, it was just a little sneak peek.

Just thought I would throw it out there, for some new news/discussion, considering the boards are kinda getting out of topic.

 

[gtkilla]

shouldn't this be in the games section?

SM2 was an awesome game, but they can improve it for SM3... I want a more detailed NY, the possibility to change between Peter and Spidey in alleys, both Spidey's suits and of course improved missions and the possibility that they get mixed (ex. while a thief shoots, a man gets hurt so after beating the thief you must get the civilian to the hospital)

 

[Fran]

Agreed.

Imagine the possibilities with the new technology, even the Wii remote!!!

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

. I wish they'd take it out for the PC as well.

 

[The Shape]

At least it's SOMETHING new to report.

I can't wait for spiderman 3 game...but I liked Spidey 1 webslinging better, simply because you didnt have to have a tree or building nearby to latch your web on to, it made it easier, but it was a bit unrealistic. I still liked Spidey 2 though.

Aweasome, thanks

No because the SM3 game will have parallels to the movie...could have some spoilers...

I've talked about what this game should be before, but what interests me about that article is the reinvention of the go-anywhere formula.

I remember saying, and still feel that the game would benefit if everything was like a random crime, with non-linear story missions that you just run into or not, that incorporate or showcase the ny environment......(i.e you spot a shadowy figure on the empire state that happens to be venom etc)

I hope the webslinging isnt simplified in this game...if they get that right then all it needs is to be like spidey 2 but with a major graphics overhaul and a lot more varied street-level crime. the graphics are pretty sucky in spidey 2...I hope the environment matches the quality of the in-game spidey model, with more cars and peeps......

I just don't like the repetitive missions. They need a lot of baddies and yes...a graphics overhaul which I am sure will look great on the next gen consoles. I also like the free roaming abilities. Just don't make it as corny as SM2's game. I also would love either great cut scenes or cut scenes that correlate with the movie.

The Spidey 1 game had a lot of cool easter eggs, though. This combined with Spidey 2's free roaming and some updated graphics from both would be the ideal 3rd game for me.

 

[jimmylace]

yeah they were clearly running out of ideas with the crimes.....
I mean a sinking boat? wth? Although I thought usm was a let-down
-because of the webbing and not having as much control over spidey- rescuing people was a definately an improvement in that game. can't wait for the new game tbh, Im looking forward to that more than the movie!

 

[kal_el_526]

Spidey 2 was good but i think newyork was not very realistic newyork has so many people an traffic in real life it didnt feel right in spidey 2 i also hope they let u play as venom wen u beat the game like in ultimate sm that would be cool an to chaange intooutfits in alleways like 'Parquagh' said that we be cool

Sure thing

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

All I can say is this is what I want for the game:

-Improved swinging mechanics.

-Tons of baddies. Sure you got the core baddies (Venom, Sandman, Harry) but I want old favorites (Scorpion, Kraven, Mysterio, and Shocker) to come back but also I want to see Electro or Chameleon or maybe a Kingpin appearance.

-Maybe have Black Cat return even though I think having Gwen and MJ is too many women already.

-Lastly whether wearing red/blue suit or black suit they should have two alternate-endings. Like "KOTOR" you're awarded points. If you show you're very heroic then you get the theatrical ending, if you choose bad Spidey you're awarded darkside points or "symbiote points" and it reveals a different ending where Peter fully accepts the symbiote and kills Gwen, MJ, Aunt May, you name it. Just an idea...

 

[chaseter]

^But if he remains symbiote Spidey then we will get no Venom.

yeah that may be cool it was cool in kotor so it would be hot in this plus it goes with the theme

well maybe wen he trys 2 rip it off at the church he fails an only a lil comes off to create venom

Exactly.

i started a thread like this the other day and it was closed!

Well I was thinking, we all know there are gonna be more villains in the game then the movie, so what if they extra villains{whoever they may be} are in random crimes and don't get involved in the plot. That way thew actual plot is the same as the movie, but when you are roaming around saving people you have to stop Shocker from robbing a bank. And then after you defeat a villain for good in the story mode, he becomes a random crime villain. That means after you beat the game you can find every villain in the game, inlcuding GG2, Venom and Sandman, doing random crimes. This would add to the fun after beating the game.
