On the plus side, Lost Planet was fun, if not just a tad on the short side. On the negative side, anything compared to a Spider-Man game automatically has two strikes against it out of the gate. There's still a long way to go before this game makes its debut and hopefully we'll get a better idea about combat in future trailers instead of all this Spidey swinging.

Yeah Friend vs Foe is a joke but all the other ones were pretty sweet.
As for this game however the main character looks retarded...not feeling it at all.
Thank God they also announced SFIV. Plus we've got RE5 to look forward to sometime in 2008...

and why didn't the voice actor tell them they translated the script wrong?
Or at least thats my opinion. The storyline...or should I say lack of storyline. The randomness of all the crap going on. Emo Peter Parker. Venom coming in for like 15 minutes.
It makes me sick to think about it. Especially after all the previews and the hype. I fell for it all too.
Luckly Transformers came along and made up for my huge disappointment.
Anyways I didn't play Spidey 3 the game but my bros did and they liked it alright.
Venom didn't even get the one phrase that told you EVERYTHING you needed to know about Venom, "We. Are. Venom". Hell the poor bastard didn't even get his name out. The only saving grace of the film was Bruce Campbell. When the most likable main character in the film is Green Goblin, you have a serious script problem.
Transformers had Peter Cullen as a main characte. Rest of the film be damned, he alone is enough to top Spider-man 3.
Also while the Spider-man 3 game was crap compared to Spider-man 2, it was still halfway decent. Just don't compare it to Spider-man 2, it all falls apart at that point, still not sure why they took out most of the FUN parts of Spider-man 2 for the sequel, but there you go.

The dude's dreadlocks, on the other hand, are absolutely freaking horrendous.

This shit should have gotten the Konami Contra 4 treatment, not this 3D crap.
Meh.

When i first saw this article I was really hoping for a game played in two-dimensions. Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that I wanted it for the DS or PSP per say, but I'm guessing that keeping it a side-scroller, (2D or 2.5D...doesn't matter), would give it a hell of a lot of a better chance at being good.
So far it looks like it COULD be good, but there's still that 75% chance that the transition from 2D to 3D will be down right horrific. I'll remain optimistic for the time being, but in the event that this turns out...not so good, a 2D sequel for a handheld, (if not a console...developers, where's the 2D love?), would be great.
But I still cant get over how awesome that Street Fighter IV teaser is!

but it should be worth a rental

They see an opportunity to make money, so they completely rape what made a good game and completely miss the point.
Some suit looks back to how cool and fun a simple game was back in the day, then adds a bunch of shit that "sells."
Welcome "Hollygaming" or "Gamingwood"...I like that last one, I'm trademarking it right now.

That they sold out to the current wave of "apocholytpic shiny brown" look like ever other game.
For comparison, here is what Bionic Commando looked like. Noticed all the colors:

At this rate they might as well add in blood and tits for good measure to pander to the 14 year old 360 crowd.

I'm just still not sure how this can improve on the swinging and grappling mechanic already present in Spiderman games though.
Why? They keeped the same fucking style!
That is what they should have done here. I mean hell, look at Pit? Is all of a sudden an Emo looking kid in Smash Brothers? No! He does look older and is in a new game...but he still is a flying colorful kid that shoots arrows.
You can look more "mature" and not look like a black and white movie you know that?

Sometimes following an old formula directly doesn't work. (especially when it's this old. From the video someone posted, I don't see how it would actually be fun other than the novelty, it's too difficult to navigate because of the grappling limitations.)
In the interview with the game director, (or was it producer?), when they showed the different versions of character art, I really liked the streamlined one with the blue lights they had previous to this one. That one looked somewhat believable, at least in the terms of suspension-of-disbelief.
This one on the other hand seems bulky and unsightly...almost as if they tried TOO hard to make it look cool as well as obvious. It's negligible really, and I'm sure any fan of the original game will have his or her own opinion on this, but still...that's my opinion.
It doesn't really matter what he looks like as long as it plays well. It LOOKS like it plays well, and that director, (producer? I'm too lazy to check...), seemed to understand the importance of gameplay transition, but WILL it play well? That's the real test.

a) The point is that you can't make anything without "colourful" in the old days (because of colour limitations, which I'll repeat here in case you missed it the first time). If you can find a "dark" only game, then maybe you have a point.
b) Pit is not even in his own game, therefore he can't undergo a change to begin with. I'll give a counter-example: The colour schemes of Metal Gear games changes drastically between games, coincidently in different locations/eras.

One person states a valid and inoffensive opinion on something only to find other members that disagree to the point of using derogatory terms. It proves nothing and shouldn't be used in any form of debate unless stating a direct quote, (which is rarely the case on the interwebs).
I have nothing against swearing...infact, I probably swear too often by most standards, but the fact remains...
Sorry for this slightly off-topic post, and again, not taking sides on this. I'm just stating a personal opinion. No offense is intended towards either side.
I'd prefer a BC game on the DS after seeing that trailer, I reckon something could be done with the touch screen and the arm. Plus there's only so much generic rage you can fit onto a handheld.
Hey anyone remember Bionic Commando: Elite Forces on the GBC? That was a beautiful game at the time.
