Since Activision is newly bent on pounding gamers with its franchises each year, expect Ultimate Spider-Man (2005) to be followed by Classic Spider-Man in 2006 (that's just our guess), and Spider-Man 3 (confirmed) to appear in 2007 to coincide with the third and final Sam Raimi-directed Spider-Man movie.

I hope they keep the fun web-slinging and free-roaming (from the streets to the highest building) mechanics of Spider-man 2: the movie.

They should just make an Ultimate game instead of doing that AND a classic one...

but 2 games=more potential $$

 

[rawk]

This rules. Bendis, the writer of Ultimate Spider-Man the comic, has been working on a game script for a long time. I bet this is it!

 

[Ghost]

Basing it on ultimate would make PP a high schooler though, isnt that gonna confuse a lot of people expecting a follow up to this years game?

 

[rawk]

Well, I'm sure they'll change the visual style, give it a comic book-y cover, and put a little "based on the hit comic series!" or something on the box. I doubt you'll spend much of the game in high school anyway.

 

[Ghost]

I just wonder if the Ultimate game is something IGN-cube have thought up to tag onto EGMs rumour that there would be a Spider-man game based in the comic book universe.

It'd be damn cool though i love ultimate.

 

[rawk]

Bendis said that the game he is working on is also being worked on by the entire creative team of the book. If this is that game, then expect some Mark Bagley artwork, or at least concept artwork.

Bah, to hell with Ultimate, give me a classic Spider-Man game, none of that redesigned villains and costumes.

Huh. They will give you a classic Spiderman game too.

 

[evil ways]

Yeah, 2 years from now, fuck that.

 

[Kuroyume]

Talk about milking... cry about splinter cell 3, but there is nothing wrong with this

 

[Ghost]

Splinter Cell is 2 games in a year, 4 games in 4 years is no worse than any sports game.

 

[Ramirez]

Meh,I wasn't impressed AT ALL with SM2.The swinging was fun,sure,but doing the same 3 random missions over and over and over,GAH!!

I'll pass

 

[Agent Dormer]

Really digging the Ultimate Spider-Man line of comics (Bendis, may I have your man babies?) and hopefully it transfers to the world of videogames like I imagine it - if so, it will rock your socks.

lol. Hope the Ultimate game turns out well as I like the comics. I can't believe Willco hasn't chimed in on this topic.
