Yea, the PS1 game was pretty good, but it really shone in the Dreamcast “port” – they upped the resolution of the textures and did some other technical upery to take advantage of the DC’s superior hardware.

-le sigh wistfully for the “good ‘ol days”…

@Aankhen: The first PS1 Spiderman game was great, the second was alright, and the first Movie Game was mediocre. It was the first one to give us the swing anywhere ability though, I’ll give you that. The second Movie Game was a complete classic. Very few movie games are good though :(

The game+ option at the end of your first play through should be a meeting with Mephisto where he asks if you want to completely invalidate a huge chunk of plot, bring everyone who died back to life and start a stale rehash of the previous plot line.

“Joe, we’re a little worried that [insert title] is [underperforming/going to suck]. What do you want us to do about it?”

“Needs more Wolverine!”

“Oh, Joe. You always say that.”

I played a bit of one of the recent Spider-Man games on XBox and, while it was fun to swing around, the combat was a little too button mashy for me.

It looks more intricate in one of the early scenes of the trailer, but that’s surely pre-rendered, and even if similar combat makes it into the game, I’m betting on quick-time events rather than a ‘traditional’ combat system. Looks nice, though.

Whoops, forgot to mention that the game itself looks great. You can add me to the “pls lemme play wolverine beating up spiderman kthx” club. =)

also. This game looks promising. i was severely disappointed by Spiderman 3. but all movie games suck

Actually, the one exception I ever saw was the game based on the first Spiderman movie. I thought the movie was trash but the game was huge fun, especially because of all the fun I had swinging around wherever I wanted.

Seeing Wolverine made me go “co-op possibly?” and then I thought about how much better the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series would be if it was in the kind of cityscape they give to the Spiderman Games.

I’m just envisagaing Silver Surfer, Iron Man, Spidey and Magneto cruising down past the Bugle in formation. And i’m liking it.

@Danfishblue: My first post, before I read all the replies, was going to be; “I hope we don’t all end up just wanting to play as black-suited Wolverine.”

Game looks like it has potential, but the PC version will probably be balls.

Three Cheers for gratuitous Wolverine fanservice!

Yeah, I hope the venolverine comment at the end wasn’t supposed to be in a bad guy tone, because if so, yipes, completely missed the mark.
