First Look: Spider-Man 3

Spider-Man swings into action like you've never seen him before.

Filled with rage, Peter Parker has just found out who murdered his Uncle Ben. The culprit: Flint Marko, an escaped prisoner caught in a freak accident that displaces his molecular structure turning him into the villainous Sandman. Embodied with the new power of the symbiote, black-suit Spidey is even more powerful than his mild-mannered alter ego and he wants Sandman dead.

Stalking like an owl in the night, Spidey follows Sandman into the subways beneath the gritty streets of New York. The subways are exaggerated in size for optimal web-slinging action, and of course, Sandman ass-kicking. The fight begins. Furiously punching and kicking, Spidey wears on his Uncle's killer. But he's too tough, like an impenetrable sand fortress. In between fisticuffs, subway trains veer by. Spidey regains command of the fight and holds the head of Sandman against the passing train. His face grinds into nothingness.

Sound cool? Believe it or not, this is all gameplay. And it's all a part of the interactive theatrical experience Spider-Man 3 delivers.

...the "first look" came about 2 weeks ago, and this lame 1-page article offers nothing new.

Caxtus7506282d ago

I thought the guy who killed his uncle died in the first film by falling out of the window.

power0919996282d ago (Edited 6282d ago )

Didn't he get away in his Uncle's car?

The uncle didn't want to give up the car, so the dude shot him.

Then took off with the car, and got away.

I think this is right...

PureGamer6282d ago

dont read the spidy comics anyway he got away, this game looks awesome

Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man use to be my favorite until Insomniac games took over.

Inverno170d ago

I'd still choose Ultimate above all other games, followed by Shattered Dimensions

Abnor_Mal170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

My favorite and still champion Spiderman PS2, followed by Marvels Spiderman2, then Miles Morales, followed by Marvels Spiderman, and finally Ultimate Spiderman.

I need to drag out my PS3 and try Web of Shadows, owned the game for years and years and never played.

Rimeskeem170d ago

Shout out to cultured vultures for NOT making this 40 separate pages.

Relientk77170d ago

Spider-Man (2000), Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions were all so good! I have fond memories playing them.

The Most Disappointing Video Game Sequels - Part Five

Phil writes, "It's never a good feeling to be hyped for the next installment of one of your favorite franchises, and then POW! You're blindsided with an extremely disappointing game that hardly lives up to your anticipation and hype. That's the focus of The Most Disappointing Video Game Sequels, and now we're at the fifth installment. This are six more of those games that were either rushed out, released in a broken or incomplete state, or were simply less than stellar experiences overall.

After you browse through and read up on the latest unfortunate games added to this growing series of articles, which game sequels that haven't already been mentioned in a previous article do you think should be added in a future installment?"

Heavy Rain, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift and Spiderman 3 running on the PC via the PS3 emulator, RPCS3

These games are very old now its easier to just locate a ps3

ProjectVulcan2036d ago

Not the point. I for one want Metal Gear Solid 4 in minimum native 1080p and 60FPS. On PS3 it ran 1024 x 768 and about 25FPS.

So the only way that ever looks like happening is via emulation. Good work is being done on RPCS3.

marioJP872036d ago

Ain't happening. You'll get 1080P but the frame rate won't run at 60 fps. Emulators don't work that way as PC games does. Not a single emulator has been able to override a 30 fps game to run at 60 fps ... actual 60 frames.

ProjectVulcan2036d ago (Edited 2036d ago )

"Ain't happening. You'll get 1080P but the frame rate won't run at 60 fps. Emulators don't work that way"

WRONGGGGG!!!!

@ MarioJP87 Lol sorry but go back to your console, you know nothing about PC emulation. I have run countless console titles that originally ran at 30FPS on PC emulators with a full fat 60FPS refresh. Countless! I suggest you google for Zelda BOTW emulation, where it's easy to have 50FPS+ for a game usually running 30 or below on Switch. https://www.youtube.com/wat... Just the other day I ran 25FPS PS2 game Metal Gear Solid 3 at 1080/60FPS on PCSX2 https://www.youtube.com/wat... ......two examples.

It is true some games are designed with critical parts of the engine locked to frame rate, but most actually aren't. Probably 98 percent aren't. This is because many console games don't remain locked to 30FPS, so unless you hit the 30FPS you have problems elsewhere.

Whats more some of the ones that do have stuff like animation and physics locked to a 30FPS pacing occasionally have work around options baked into an advanced emulator.

MGS3 is one of those with specific configuration for 60FPS, AND it even has analogue button controller support to boot! Not even the Xbox 360 remaster has that!

letsa_go2036d ago

Thank you for schooling him, ProjectVulcan! I was like...wtf is this guy talking about? haha Someone has never used an emulator before I guess.

Spartacus102036d ago

By that logic you might as well not play any console exclusive from this gen since one day it will possibly be playable in native 4k, 144hz.

Yeah its a fact that the higher the res and frame rate the better, but waiting for all these years while the graphics themselves start to become outdated seems like one step forward, two steps back.

starchild2036d ago

@marioJP87

One of the benefits of emulation is the ability to run at higher resolutions and smoother framerates. I can assure you I've run many console games at 60fps which normally run far below that. ProjectVulcan is correct about everything he said.

@Father__Merrin

I don't want to have yet another console cluttering up the area around my TV. I don't really have the space for it to be honest. Backwards compatibility should be a normal feature for any gaming device. But emulation brings lots of additional benefits anyway.

marioJP872034d ago (Edited 2034d ago )

Show me a YouTube video with all of your claims and I will retract my comment. I've been emulating for years on PC, PS3 in its linux days and android. I know what I'm talking about. You claim 98% of emulated games? Show me proof. What can you provide besides MGS?
What other emulators do you claim are capable of this?

ProjectVulcan2034d ago (Edited 2034d ago )

Erm, most emulators are capable of it. DEMUL, PCSX2, Dolphin, Project64, ePSXe etc etc.....

I showed you two games that emulate at higher frame rates than on their native platforms. One is enough to prove the point. Pick either. Find videos of the other ten thousand yourself, it is not difficult.

It's a fact and you really don't know anything about emulation if you think that you cannot emulate console games to run faster! That's patently not true to anyone that has genuinely emulated console games on PC before.

marioJP872033d ago

Bull crap. I've been running dolphin for years on my laptop. I'm currently running it on my GTX 965m. I damn sure cant run resident evil 4 at 60 fps and I mean real 60 fps, not 60 frames with a locked 30 fps. I cant run "The Warriors" or "Manhunt" on PCSX2 at 60 fps.
Now if you can show me just a 30 second video of you running RE4 at 60 fps using dolphin, then I will admit to you being right and me being wrong.

Shhhhh. Let the master race who claim to have a better game platform try and find ways to illegally play better games.

MoshA2036d ago

Huh? Most people have played these games before and want to replay them on higher settings. Those who haven't won't enjoy them as much without nostalgia anyway.

ProjectVulcan2036d ago

Emulation is not illegal. This shouldn't have to be pointed out here, it should be common knowledge even to knuckle dragging mouth breathers.

annoyedgamer2036d ago

The ignorance is oozing from this comment.

letsa_go2036d ago

They get all the PC games, PLUS the ability to play console games. Sounds like master race to me!

william_cade2036d ago

Poor Heavy Rain lol that game was and is a pile. Emulation sounds cool though - Res. Evil 3 and Directors Cut all the way.

Skankinruby2036d ago

Ugh, motorstorm collection on psn please!

LoveSpuds2036d ago

Know that would be a great collection of games for sure. My only gripe with these games was how difficult they got by the time you were two thirds of the way through the campaign.

Harkins17212036d ago

Making great game play even better!

pyroxxx2036d ago

So games run at 10 fps and graphical glitches not seen since pcsx2 in 2003,.. I will get there someday.

PirosThe4th2036d ago

Many games already run at full speed
