[jaxmkii]

i find it odd that this is on 360. am i the only one?

[Shogun042]

these games were multiplatform games in the past.

[jaxmkii]

where dose this take place ford town? look at all the LTDs

[Coded-Dude]

I hope thats for 360.........that 3rd picture is not that impressive
(redundant models and jaggies)

[Rip3001]

If this was exclusive to PS3, it'd be getting nagged for having sub-par graphics...

[jaxmkii]

then let me fire the first shot...

Look at all the repeating... well everything! textures the same damn car over and over look at the tow truck half of it is made from the same dimond plate texture! everything looks like a copy of everthing next to it! the same bushes over and over yuck! it looks like a high rez GTA. look at the marble in the court room shot you can see the patern repeating its self over and over. there are 5 building in that one shot of the city 3 are copes of each other 2 are the same windows and brick textures reused.

this is nearther a rushed product or they had to reuse assets to save on disk space in order to make it 360 freindly... farther proof of my theory that 360 will be PS3s biggest bottle neck in ported games.

[curryking1]

It... it looks like crap. It's like Spiderman was to the PS2, this is the same thing to the PS3 and 360.

I mean, give me a break, Gran Turismo 4 has leagues better of a recreation of New York than this garbage, and that ran 1080i, on the freaking PS2. Stupid Activision, they are dead to me, well.. have been for a long time.

*remembers Mechwarror on PC before MS got involved ;(*

[Domination]

This game is very similar to the last one but in a more chrisp, HD form. Aside from that, I am hoping for synonymous gameplay or better since I found the last version to be incredibly well executed from a gamelay perspective as far as a game title being inspired by a comic book based movie.

[Rip3001]

This is why I'm not looking forward to GTA 4.

Look at Crackdown's graphics, they don't look next gen at all. I remember back when I saw this trailer for it. - http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=15831&type=wmv&pl=game

I never heard of the game, let alone for what system it was for. When I watched that I thought, "PSP is finally getting some interesting games."...then I learned a week later that wasn't PSP.

As if PSP games would be able to have Draw distance's as good as that....

[RzrWire]

This game looks PS2 at best. Not impressive at all.

[jaxmkii]

I played this game... its basicly GTA in the future

[Grovestreet]

I played this game... its basicly GTA in the future

Nothing like GTA mate, Free roaming and shooting, Thats the only thing in common... GTA doesn't let you jump 30 feet in the air...Throw lorries about....HAVE CO-OP!
But yeah...Better stop going offtopic...

[jaxmkii]

note: its basicly GTA in the future something GTA could do with the right code

[HPK]

Activision needs to tighten up the graphics a bit.

[venomv]

With some more AA those would look decent, I think it is just their art direction that must people aren't liking.

[GodMachine_Iridius_Dio]

Right now I'm giving it the benefit of a doubt. The game is probably still damn near in alpha stage on both Xbox360 and PS3, so these screens are understandable.

Dio

[Rip3001]

With some more AA those would look decent, I think it is just their art direction that must people aren't liking.

I guess you could say those shots of Spiderman 3 have a specific art direction...kinda like how a plate of cow dung with a statue stuck in it is considered art.

[Grovestreet]

Look at that building with the American flags on it....Horrible...

[curryking1]

Ya honestly, American flags are so ugly...

Lol! just messing.

[Kabbage]

Eww... looks like hot bacon shit. I 100% agree with the guy that said if this was PS3 exclusive it would be getting destroyed by everyone. Kotaku would probably have 3 articles on it and G4 would dedicate a half/hour segment to it.

[Zer0-Sum]

Looks like crap. If this is the best they can do god help any and all Spiderman games. They had better up their game graphically.

[masteratt]

Remembering how awesome this game is, those quality of graphics will do fine if they improve the gameplay.

[Raitei]

its underwhelming, but the interview video on qj.net has a much better look to it

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Activision needs to tighten up the graphics a bit.

hehe.

[Goki]

This game is likely to be released in May together with the movie. So not long left till release I should think.

[Nameless]

I never planned to buy this game anyway...
The movie looks great!

[masteratt]

The movie looks great!
They are giving people buckets and lots of tissues for the test screening.

If you know what I mean :thumbr:

[Garfunkel]

i'm not impressed at all.

the lighting is bland, lots of jaggies, no AA, poor polygon work, crap textures....

[Rip3001]

They are giving people buckets and lots of tissues for the test screening.

If you know what I mean :thumbr:

Lots of gore and heartstring moments?

[venomv]

I guess you could say those shots of Spiderman 3 have a specific art direction...kinda like how a plate of cow dung with a statue stuck in it is considered art.

I'm not saying they don't need work, but it is obvious they want it to look like a comic book, I may not think it looks great, but that is their choice.

[Rip3001]

I'm not saying they don't need work, but it is obvious they want it to look like a comic book, I may not think it looks great, but that is their choice.

...you did not just call comic books butt-ugly.

[Grovestreet]

I'm not saying they don't need work, but it is obvious they want it to look like a comic book, I may not think it looks great, but that is their choice.

Like....Ultimate spiderman?:ohno:God that was horrible.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

As the local forum advocate of, 'You guys are stupid, this game looks better than you're giving it credit for,' ...yeah this game looks really weaksauce in the graphics department.

[CreativeWriter]

Like....Ultimate spiderman?:ohno:God that was horrible.

Wasn't it though. I totally bought the hype about "improved" swing dynamics, and the swinging was less fun than Spiderman 2. :rant: They also removed the "fling-yourself" jump that made leaping great. I played about 40 minutes of it and never touched it again. $50 wasted. Same terrible graphics (smaller city!) and same stupid missions.

[curryking1]

Lol, weaksauce...

[jako]

For myself I'm not that disapointed.

But please tell me I'm wrong : The web is sticking in the sky like in Spiderman 1 (the one treyark did). I really loved on spiderman 2 the web that had to be stick to a building. Is is the case on spiderman 3 ?

[OmniCloud]

meh...only decent movie game I've played that was great was King Kong...and it was still lacking compared to other AAA FPS.

this is a rental at best, but then again what were really expecting? The movies is where you get your Spider man fix. Probably gonna be the biggest hit of 07...They hype is like Halo...

[jako]

There is an HD version of the trailer on gametrailers

http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=2702

Just watched it.... and now I am disapointed. (is that the PS2 version on this video ??)

Let's hope this is just a wip version and that the final version will be much better.

[Garfunkel]

i think it's main problem is lighting. it's just too bland and uninteresting.

[Applefiend]

Is it just me or does God of War 2 look better than that, much much better.

I hope it's the PS2 version, that's nasty...

[Red_Eyes]

As with all Marvel games, I don't expect this one to be graphically great.

this is nearther a rushed product or they had to reuse assets to save on disk space in order to make it 360 freindly... farther proof of my theory that 360 will be PS3s biggest bottle neck in ported games.

You're rite. All those ported games are just ported from the 360 and are not really optimized for the PS3 at all. Why are developers so lazy this new generation?

[makeitlookreal]

This absolutely MUST be the PS2 version. There is no way that this could be a game for the PS3. The polycount is low, the textures are poor, and it looks very bland.

It does not even look impressive for a PS2 game!

[Red]

The german Playstation magazine Playzone writes:

The PS3 Version will be developed by Treyarch, the PSP/PS2 versions will be developed by Vicarious Visions.

[jako]

You're right MILR. I'm disapointed, I really love Spiderman games, especially spiderman2 for the free roaming part, even if the game isn't very good.

Let's give a chance to this version, we can hope that the final product will be much better than that.
There is one thing I like tho on this video : it's how spidey moves in the air.

[OmniCloud]

Is it just me or does God of War 2 look better than that, much much better.

I hope it's the PS2 version, that's nasty...LOL...God of War 2 looks better than 90% of current next-gen games!!! It's all about art direction in the end. The technical features are there if you know how to use em, but if your vision sucks, well so will your game visually at least...

[IEatFriedPikmin]

the graphics do look pretty bad... they do look better than spiderman 2's though.

hopefully its more focused on gameplay, like the 2nd one.

[Xerxes]

I'll watch the movie instead.

[Grovestreet]

Spiderman 2...

sigh, spider-man 3 the movie game...what else is there to say besides...

[makeitlookreal]

Those screenshots MUST be for the PS2 version. They are very poor.

[Mirai]

Wow.

Three pages, and all anyone has really said is "It has bad graphics," and "Must be for PS2."

Not that I disagree, I'm just amazed that this thread got three pages simply by everyone repeating what's already been said.

Wow...

Just wow...

[makeitlookreal]

Dee,

It's the only thing that can be said. It looks HORRIBLE for a PS3 game and does not even look impressive for a PS2 game.

[Luken]

Wow.

Three pages, and all anyone has really said is "It has bad graphics," and "Must be for PS2."

Not that I disagree, I'm just amazed that this thread got three pages simply by everyone repeating what's already been said.

Wow...

Just wow...


The Xbox 360 version that we were shown offers a buffed-out look that smartly expands on the work done in Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man.

Those screens are from the X-Box360 version.

:rave:

[cliffbo]

farther proof of my theory that 360 will be PS3s biggest bottle neck in ported games.

come on first party devs!!!!!

[Shadow Voa]

I'll play it since Ive played all the other ones, I dont really care about the graphics at this point so long as the game is fun and if they add some nice SIXAXIS support I'll play it on my PS3 as well as my Wii just to experience some gameplay styles that havent been done before. C'mon good controls!!

[Garfunkel]

^yeah, didn't think of that, swinging with the ax should be fun!

[gozirah]

I think we are a little liberal with the "lazy developers" term. They probably have names for us too, like "impatient gamer". I'm sure the biggest bottlenecks to development are time and money, rather than inititative.

The movement looked pretty good, though. Maybe the lighting and textures will improve.

edit: ouch 5/4 release, maybe it won't. :(

[Crow]

screw the graphics, the game will be awesome if they just add to the gameplay of the last one

[Zer0-Sum]

screw the graphics, the game will be awesome if they just add to the gameplay of the last one

Lots of people here care about the graphics. This is next gen after all. They need to up their game and stop being damn lazy.

[Rip3001]

screw the graphics

They did...

[Zer0-Sum]

They did...

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[cliffbo]

They did...

LOL!!!

[Chris Metal]

urghhh, I was hoping for something a bit prettier for a next gen Spiderman, I can only hope the improvement will be night and day when it finally ships, though something in my gut tells me it won't be...

[Rip3001]

They aren't the only ones though...

That looks worse than a Wii game. More like PS2! AGGHHHHHH!!!!! What the hell is going on here? :tardbang: Damn lazy devs. If these games look like this the gameplay had better be PHENOMENAL.

That's the only way an X360 game can have 60FPS :ko:

[Zer0-Sum]

I think we should wait to see it in motion before we pass judgement on this... LOL

Man, your joking right? I would not care if that ran at 120 FPS. It would still look like ass. Thew same for the Spiderman game. They HAVE to be very early builds. So early that the look like crap. I hope that in a year or so both games will kick ass, both gameplay and graphically wise.

That's the only way an X360 game can have 60FPS :ko:

A low blow, but funny none the less! LOL!!

[Red]

When i dreamed about the Spiderman 3 game i thought it would look like the ps3 E3 2005 techdemo. I dreamed about weather effects that when it rains you can see the raindrops on spidis suit.

But this a pice of a shity game!!!!!

[jaxmkii]

That's the only way an X360 game can have 60FPS :ko:
and native 1080p:mickey:

[TEEDA]

lol...Looks lile movie adaptations to video games are what video games adaptation are in movies.

[cliffbo]

and native 1080p:mickey:

1080p (p for parity not progressive. never forget that) ;)

lol of course, did you not detect the sarcasm in my voice? ;) Seriously though, how can something look THAT bad on next gen. if its so far off why release that shot? It only going to damage the dev's credibility..

[Zer0-Sum]

^true dat man^:lol:

[Garfunkel]

GTA SA looks better then that...

It's muppets gone wild...

[LiquidEagle]

What concerns me is that that barely looks like a Ninja Turtle, if at all. What are those devs thinking!?

Anyways, back to Spider-Man, looks alright :). Also, who's making the PS3 version? Treyarch or Vicarious Visions?

[Dims]

I doubt the graphics will change very much at all. They said somethin like 'this is actual in-game footage' in teh beginning as if it was meant to blow our minds. They reckon they've done a good job. I'll have to see this in motion to judge.

[cliffbo]

Live Arcade game?

[Rip3001]

Live Arcade game?

$59.99 Retail :shocked:

[cliffbo]

$59.99 Retail :shocked:

i can't believe that!!!! as most forum users would say: OMG! is the effort beginning to swing our way?

[LaLiLuLeLo]

wow that hast to be in the pre-alpha alpha alpha^2 stages.

[Kabbage]

Oh GOD!

I thought gundam was shitty.

[cliffbo]

no way anyone will shell out for this...:look:

[LaLiLuLeLo]

One can only hope and pray.

Just read what the german guy writes. In the german playzone magazine they say that Treyarch is making the PS3 version.

[venomv]

What are those ugly green things....you're kidding me, right? The head is bigger then the frikin body!

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Dude there's no way that's anymore than like 5% done.

[Kabbage]

Dude there's no way that's anymore than like 5% done. If they are then Shame on them... this will not be the final product.

[Rip3001]

I believe there's a law against a company showing a game in this stage...or at least there should be.

[OG_Monkey]

Not what i was expecting but its still gonna be cool.

[totobeni]

TMNT and Spider-man 3 ....did i wake up in 1998 ?

[Pumpkin Head]

Exclusive PS3 Spider-Man
Activision gives Sony owners special treatment and unleashes the Goblin.
by Jeremy Dunham
February 22, 2007 - With all the Spider-Man 3 news, previews, and interviews hitting the World Wide Web today, some might think that finding original information that hasn't already been done to death might be hard to come by. And certainly for some videogame fans, that observation might be true... but not for PlayStation 3 owners -- they're getting something a little extra thanks to the folks at Sony and Activision.

So what exactly are they getting? The PS3-exclusive "Spider-Man 3: Collector's Edition," that's what.

Scheduled for a simultaneous release with the regular version of Spider-Man 3 in early May, Spider-Man 3 Collector's Edition will add a number of bonus features not available on other platforms. Webisodes from the Spidey 3 movie, an exclusive interview with producer Avi Arad, and behind the scenes talks with Tobey Maguire, Topher Grace, Thomas Haden Church, James Franco, JK Simmons, and Bruce Campbell are also included. Players will even be able to access special Spider-Man 3 trailers and a couple of other undisclosed goodies.


But that's not the best part.

No true believers, the best and most interesting addition to the PS3 Collector's Edition is the ability to play as a completely different character, the "New Goblin." Using a unique locomotion system that's entirely controllable with the Sixaxis gamepad, the New Goblin will be able to zip through the city streets and between skyscrapers and other buildings at super-high speeds.

Activision wouldn't elaborate much further than that, other than to say that New Goblin will have access to 10 exclusive race challenges and the ability to participate in every "Crime Event" in the city -- allowing him to use his pumpkin bombs against all three city gangs and a multitude of other plot-driven enemies.

Though we obviously have to wait awhile to learn more about the New Goblin and his unique abilities, PS3 fans can still discover plenty about the primary mechanics of Spider-Man 3 by following our list of newly-updated links located below.

[LiquidEagle]

wow. badass


I might have to buy this mofo...

Is this the same Collector's edition that's the Gamestop/EB exclusive or a different one?

btw, I know it's from IGN, but post a link please :-p

[LaLiLuLeLo]

crap. now all of a sudden I might have to get it. GODDAMNIT.

[TimmyJ]

Could this be down to Blu-Ray per chance?

[cliffbo]

its amazing what extra content you can squeeze on a Blu-ray disk ;)

edit: beat me to it Timmy

[TimmyJ]

I wonder if they could get some next-gen resolution textures on there too...

[makeitlookreal]

http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/887/887284/imgs_1.html

There are new pics released to day at the above link.

Once again, I have to say this game looks terrible for a PS3 game. No, it looks HORRIBLE!

[FantasyGhost]

I don't really see why they call it next gen in some screenshots it's looking like a PS2 game.

[nMIK-3]

I don't really see why they call it next gen in some screenshots it's looking like a PS2 game.

Exactly my thoughts...
I like spiderman but this next gen game just don't even touch next gen...

If it comes out like that, its going to be an awe full job from Activision

[cliffbo]

new spiderman vid:

Thanks that is a nice wii video.

When will we get the chance to see the next-gen spiderman ?

[section]

It's Activision, don't worry, they'll ruin it.
