I was thinkin online multiplayer might be cool they could make playable versions off all the villians from all the games an u can go online an brawl it out in nyc that would be fun you would play as shocker,vulture,scorpion,GG1,black cat,rhino,mysterio,kraven,doc-ock,gg2,sandman,venom,symbiote spidey,an the new villians from the spidey 3 game i think it would be cool to see all the villians clash ann imagine getting to play as some of these guys

I just want it to be more extensive. I don't want repetetive missions and short storyline like Ultimate Spider-Man.

I think the one thing they need to do is work on making the storyline more engaging, more a part of the gameplay... make you feel like your actually part of the movie.

In the SM2 game, they nailed the aspect of making you feel like you really were Spider-Man, swinging around NY busting crimes. But they missed the boat when it came to storyline --- you never really felt you were in the movie Spider-Man 2, never felt like you were really playing out the scenes and storyline from the movie... it needed to be more cinematic to work. Ultimate Spider-Man, interestingly enough, was a reversal of this --- it did a kickass job on the story, but somehow lost the greatness of SM2's free-roaming.

So basically, I think all SM3 has to do now is merge the best of both games into one, and it should finally make for a 100% succesful formula.

^ yeah totally, although I think having more than two playable characters is unlikely...what fun would it be playing rhino? probably not much. what I'm realy psyched about is just the quality of the graphics and animation. i know that for the new ps3 indiana jones game, theyve developed an advanced physics engine where baddies react randomly to the environment, and the environment is real-world like when you interact with it *i.e a piece of wood will break in a totally different way everytime according to physics, or a baddie will try and grab onto the environment if falling etc*

It'd be cool to have that kind of quality in the sm3 game, with the wind direction affecting your swinging and webs.....

i would buy the game just for that

The advanced physics things is the PS3 and the XBox 360. it was invented for the systems, not the game.

I wonder if WII has that? I hope so, but I doubt it. well we will find out when the system is released.

 

[jimmylace]

oh yeah I know but it seems to me that lucasarts are the forerunners in getting their hands dirty with it for their future titles.....

 

[ISHMAEL]

im picking this up for the PS3.

me too

 

[Triligors]

One factor that I definitely want in the game is the ability to play as Venom. Ultimate Spider-Man had the same gameplay mechanic. Tear up the city, be the bad guy. Similar to how Superman Returns game allows the gamer control of Brainiac to rip Metropolis apart. I would love to do the same in this game- but, as Venom. Activision did it before for Venom, here's hoping they do it again for SM3.

PS3 = Suck.

PS3 = Suck.

Amen to that.

 

[Fran]

I could buy a $200 Wii with games and accessories for the price of a PS3.

Xbox 360 (I have one) $400 + $200 Wii = $600 PS3.

PS3 is a ripoff of everything that Nintendo (tilt control) and Microsoft (online service, wireless controllers) have created themselves.

 

[The Geek Vault]

I can't wait to see it on the wii. Webslinging will be brought to a whole new level.

 

[Fran]

The Wii will come out of the shadows and defeat PS3.

same here...OH PLS GOD!!!

okay i didnt hear anything about being able to play as brainiac in that but yeah venom should definitley be playable that would be so messed up if they didnt make him that

actually, the game is what implements the physics engine. its by a company called "enmotion" and their physics program isnt built into consoles, the games use them.

 

[FNSpidey]

I hope they don't mess with the swinging system of Spider-man 2. They tried it with USM and look what happened. Everything else is kinda secondary and I believe they can pull it off quite easily.

I hate getting off topic but I laugh at these people thinking the PS3 is gonna fail, it has a bigger fanbase then Microsoft and Nintendo combined. Though I am getting a Wii and a PS3 to sit there and say that Sony is copying off of Microsoft for online play. Give me a freaking break. Dreamcast came out with online play before X-Box did and hence Microsoft did not "create" the internet and online play, it has been done for over a decade on PC's. Thats like saying Sony invented 3D graphics with the PlayStation, no they did not, going online is a simple fact of evoltion in tectnology, to say X-Box were the masters of online play is a horrible statement.

Wether people like it or not, with the PS2 everyone complained about it but it sold over 110 million units world wide. Yes Sony takes from Nintendo a lot, but they do it well enough it does not ever feel like a rip off, look at the Dual Shock controler it was a rip off of technology of the N64 controlers with rumble and analog but it turned out great.

Any who back to the subject, I think that this game will really rule, I mean as some of you said and pointed out earlier if they combined the feel of making you feel like Spider-man *ala Spider-man 2* But mixed it to make it feel like you were part of a story, and with unique missions all the time, and more of a cinematic experience it would be a game hard to put down.

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...

yeah same here that would be cool.

 

[The Punisher]

I have a 360 but i might get this when i get a PS3. I really don't know, but i can't wait to see the preview.

Srry, my mistake- wasn't thinking clearly at the time- play as Bizzaro. Not Brainiac. Wasn't thinking at the time.
