Just saw the video of this on the OXM disc. I think it looks (wait for it).....amazing.

Best looking cell shading I've seen yet.

For real. I can't wait to play a demo of this.

This does indeed look interesting. I can't believe it took someone this long to figure out that games based on comics should look somewhat like comics.

This game takes the whole open-city approach that Spiderman 2 did, right? I hope the combat is better, but it looks too nice to pass up even if it isn't.

On a kinda related note, the upcoming Hulk game is apparently good. Yet another open-city sort of approach, but there are tons and tons of actions the player can do.

At E3, in the Hulk demo there, I grabbed a giant inflated balloon animal (as some advertisement for some fake company in the game), and I floated around in the city with it, slowly gliding down to the ground. You can go into a destruction run where you just plow forward, destroying anything you touch. You can attack highrise buildings until they collapse, piling into rubble. It's just a blast to play. And it doesn't require a large investment of time to get the fun out of it. Great fun.

no matter how many "gimmicks" they add to a hulk game it will always be run, get shot, smash, throw....repeat. you cant block or dodge so you scour the level looking for health. i dont see this one being any different.

Goddamnit, fuck that game. Fuck that game hard.

As for Ultimate Spider-Man I'm looking forward to it as well. Looks like it will be better than Spider-Man 2 and I had a blast with that game despite it's faults. Though the fact that I own Spider-Man 2 will make me hesitate to pick this one up. Damnation.

The open-endedness in Spider-Man 2 was fun for a weekend, but overall was just boring. How many times can beating robots/thugs,swinging some idiot to the hospital,catching ballons(WTF?) and delivering pizzas be fun.

Heh, you know what's awesome? Ultimate Venom has to eat people to survive, else the suit will consume its host. In the tutorial section explaining this, the first victim... is the balloon kid from the Spidey 2 game. :lol:

I would get the balloon first and then consume them.

I played so many 2d spiderman games from the 16bit era I can't remember which is which. I remember liking all of them, but I'm not sure I beat a single one. What was so wrong with Maximum Carnage?

It came in a red cart. Oh, and it sucked ass compared to other action games available at the time, like Gunstar Heroes, Shinobi 3, and Yoshi's Island.

BUT IT HAD A RED CART OMG THAT'S BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must be the only person who thought Maximum Carnage was fun.
But, the last time I played it, I was ten, so what do I know?

Not really. I never owned the game, but I enjoyed playing it everytime I'd go to a friend's house. Come to think of it, though, I don't remember a single bit of that game.

Looks like us "yutes" are the only ones who seemed to have liked this game. Interesting.

i guess we were too young to break the game down find something to hate about it. :D

Thats because you were all young and stupid when it came out. Noobs.

I dont think Acclaim is making this game, though.

They might be, but I dont think so.

Damn kids don't know shit about shit. That's why they hadn't figured out that Acclaim sucked balls long before Maximum Carnage. They probably read the hype for it in GamePro.

No, we probably just had fun with the game without letting our grumpy-bastardness get in the way of enjoying it.

I'm very fortunate to have my grumpy-bastardness to keep me from playing shitty games then.

I finally got around to looking at the videos.

Hooray for the same game as we got 6 months ago, with updated graphics!

Ultimate Silver Sable is in the game as well. Custom designed for the game.

I also haven't played it in, like, 10 years.

Maximum Carnage did follow the comics very well though. It even used pages from the comics in between levels.

I thought that was pretty cool. If I wasn't such a insane spiderman comic fan at the time I probably wouldn't have liked it as much, but it really did follow the story almost flawlessly.

The Ultimate line of comics puts the regular Marvel universe to shame. Hopefully this trend will carry over into the game.

I played the demo on GC at work, and the level I was playing reminded me a lot of a 3D free-roaming Rampage... so it may be repeatative, but goddamn did I have a lot of fun with it, so I'll definitely pick it up at some point.

I enjoyed it. I believe I was older than 10. But hey, most beat-em-ups on SNES I liked, esp. comic book ones. My favorite was Death and Return of Superman, along with the X-Men game.

My neighbor had it, so I played it there all the time.

The Konami Batman on SNES was an awesome beat'em up. Grab two bad guys one on each arm and slam'em together. :)

And the music was top top top notch.

Where's the love for the Sega CD game? Minus the theme music, of course.

Maximum Carnage was fun, but looked like complete shit. I'll never forget Game Players showing every bonus hero, and then just laughing at how bad Captain America looked. "Save the city, save it from this path of destruction..." - greatest Spidey music ever. The arcade Spider-Man game kills all of the console ones. I'm glad to see so much love for Batman Returns on the SNES. That's my favorite Batman game, and it still looks good today.

Shit, thats the one! The game kicked so much ass back in the day. I'm sure it will refuel the whole 10 year olds vs adults thing but hell, that game rocked.

This game is gonna be awesome, the free roaming stuff from Spider-Man 2 was great but I'm a tad worried about the graphics since I liked the more realistic look of Spider-Man 2 even if the character models that weren't Spidey looked like garbage.

This, X-Men Legends 2 and Hulk Ultimate Destruction should make me and my X-Box very happy.

Arcade Spider-Man I only saw once... and always wanted it to come home... never did :(
