Dusda: It's just Batman, the majority of "man" characters in the DC universe have their name written as one word or two unhyphenated words.
Sarcasm is a dangerous thing to attempt on a forum sometimes. I know it's Spider-Man, I just don't care.
See this is my problem, I knew you were, but I don't care. CAN'T care. :?
So, hopefully this game is on par with Spider-Man 2 but with more content. I would love a game that's exactly the same size and scope but with a higher variety of missions and graphical content.

Aren't the rights to the Spiderman Movie license owned by Sony?
I mean, if I'm right, doesn't that mean it would be stupid to have SM3 go multi-platform?
But then again, Sony has been fucking things up lately.
Like THE FONT.
Edit: Could be wrong, just saw the 360 logo at the end of the trailer.
This sort of lunacy is what kept the Spider-Man movie from being made for so long. Various entanglements between who owns the rights to make what sort of merchendise and so on.
It's for the better, I read James Cameron's 1992 script. I love the guy but it was friggin' awful.

While it seems like a good idea, it's better to make as much money as possible. Spidey ain't a system seller(and the game rights are owned by activision, me thinks) so release it on everything!

PETER
I'll kill you! Motherfucker! You hear
me?! You're dead, you sick bastard!
STRAND
See! That's my point exactly! You are a
killer, kid. You've got it in you. Why
don't you accept it? You want to rip my
throat out right now.
Strand puts his hand on Mary Jane's sternum and zaps her
with a defibrillating pulse. She arches, then relaxes.
Her chest starts to move. She opens her eyes, weakly,
seeing Strand looking down at her.
STRAND
I think there's real electricity between
us, don't you?
Peter goes berserk.
He fires webs at MJ, jerking her out of Strand's arms
before he can react. Then...
Mustering all his force, he EXPLODES the Sandman into
loose chunks, which rain down around the room.
He dives out of the way of Strand's first bolt of
lightning, which sets a wall on fire...
Peter tackles MJ and scoops her up...
Diving right through the glass, a quarter mile up...
Her scream vanishes on the wind.
Sandman chunks dissolve into puddles of sand and quickly
flow together... forming back into a human shape. Strand,
in a fury runs to the window, looking down. No sign of
Spider Man. Looking up he catches a glimpse of a figure
leaping from one tower to the next... carrying MJ to
safety. He fires a lightning bolt which sears the night.
It explodes glass out of the north tower.
ON THE ROOF of the tower, Spider Man gets MJ to the
stairwell door. He rips it off its hinges and he tells
her to run. She starts down. Then turns back to him.
Spider-Man had dialogue like "Wrong asshole, I kill YOU motherfucker!"
Holy mother of God.
Sweet lord o' mercy, he pulled a complete character reversal. Glad they never did anything with that shit.
Agreed, titmouse's post makes this even more clear.

So uh, do we all know that it's coming out on 360, PS3, and Wii now?
I hope the Wii version isn't a fugly port of the PS2 version with poorly-executed Wii controls. Hrm. I want to be able to attach my webline to any part of anything (building, lamppost, etc.) while webswinging.
Btw, I think the Spidey in that game teaser looks pretty bad. He's skinnier and lankier than the one in the movie, and his poses and animations are really awkward. I mean, it's next-gen now... they should be able to make him look and feel like the movie Spidey. Oh, and I'd like an option for custom music... or for them to just stick in the score from Spider-Man 3.

On the 360, Custom soundtracks are always an option.

Ironically, I just found myself thinking, "I can't wait to play on Wii, but I'm going to have to get a 360 just for the graphical enhancements."
Just to get the Font business out of the way (again): The Spider-Man font is called "1979", apparently its creator based it on the cover sleeve of a Smashing Pumpkins single release. The font's first "major" use was with the first Xbox. Yes, that's right, it is the Xbox 1 font, too. Then came the Spider-Man movies. Now, it's used for the PS3, also.

Remember folks, you want the console version, not the PC one.
ah, yes.
that debacle. what the hell were they thinking?
They did put the real version out on the PC.
The front cover is cosmetically identical. :x
When did they release the real version? Is there any way of telling, I mean, the real version is rated T or M, and the different one was E, right?
Wow, they released the real Spider-Man 2 for the PC? Hmm, I knew that they had released the real version of Ultimate Spider-Man, but I didn't know about the other one. That's interesting!

fixed :P
Bruce Campbell did the tutorial for Spider-Man 2? Fuck that must have made the game worth the price alone.
STRAND
You can take off the costume, but you
will always be the Spider Man.
SPIDER MAN
It's just Spider Man.
STRAND
The point is, you are not a hero. You are
a spider. It's something you don't have a
choice in. And spiders are predators.
They kill to live. They kill to live.
They are not hampered by humanitarian
ideals or impeded in their lethal
efficiency by delusions of morality. They
are pure. Powerful. As God made them.
There are no merciful spiders. There are
no vegetarian spiders. It is now time for
you to face and accept your true nature.
Peter stares out at the vista for a long time. It all
makes so much sense. And it seems to explain so much of
what he feels. All this churning confusion.
Strand moves without warning, grabbing Mary Jane before
Peter can pull her away. She feels the current running
through her. Peter lunges forward and Strand turns up the
juice. Mary Jane cries out.
Peter stops. He can only watch helplessly as Strand toys
with her life. Strand grabs her head and kisses her. The
voltage makes her hair shoot straight out. She starts
doing the watusi.
STRAND
See how power turns women on?
He breaks the kiss. She slaps the shit out of him and he
kisses her again, this time at a much higher voltage. MJ
starts to convulse wildly.
Well, I'm excited. I just hope the game - like several people here have said - successfully combines the best elements of Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man.
The webslinging in 2 was perfect, but the team behind it really slacked off on everything else. I got the feeling that they either had no idea how to make Doc Ock cool, or were simply too lazy to try anything daring, so instead they made the fights not only aesthetically boring but frustratingly difficult. The USM team did an infinitely better job of putting together some pretty spectacular fights.
And with a main villain like Sandman, they better bring their A game. It's going to be a real challenge for Activision to make Sandman fun to fight, and not look like utter shit.
I also really liked how USM had random events pop up on their own. It felt organic, rather than having to land on the ground and talk to someone before I could any hero-ing, like in Spider-Man 2. I want Manhattan to feel alive, and I want to see a hell of a lot more variety in the non-story missions I can take on.
Finally, I'm just glad I that this time, I won't have to do any fucking ridiculous shit to get the Black Suit.
STRAND
The point is, you are not a hero. You are
a spider. And you know about spiders right?
They are the fiercest killers in the insect kingdom.
God, it sucks.
!?!
Spiders aren't insects. At all.

Strand has the midas touch. He has everything and
nothing. His electrical sense gives him the power to
manipulate computer bank transfers, the stock market,
etc... to make himself a billionaire. To sit at the
center of the world's great electronic web and feel its
vibrations.
So he has everything.
But he cannot touch another person, or shake hands,
without a great effort of will to control his electrical
potential. And if he lets his guard down, in an intimate
moment with a woman, he will kill her with the high
voltage discharge. His love is deadly. So he has learned
to live without love, without the comfort of human touch,
emotion, contact.
So he has nothing.
He quickly unzips the front of her wetsuit and puts his
hands under the rubber. ZAP! Her body arches. He steps
back, scowling. Impatient. Her eyes flutter open and she
struggles to breath.
CORDELIA I don't know how much more of this I can take, Carl.
Meanwhile, Peter swings into action as Spider Man.
Various action shots of him swinging from skyscraper to
skyscraper. Eating up the miles across town.
He arrives at the mansion in midtown. He searches the
mansion... can't find them. But he finds Cordelia dead.
Strand was in a hurry, didn't have time to jumpstart her
after his farewell kiss. The huge bank of TV monitors all
show the same image. It is Strand's smiling face... held
in PAUSE from a VCR.
Peter hits PLAY.
She stands with her back against a girder, needing to feel
something solid. Spider Man stands before her, a
perfectly formed male silhouette with a soothing low
voice.
SPIDER MAN
Courtship among the spiders is highly
ritualized. It varies from species to
species. The male spider may circle the
female, or wave his front legs... to
signal that he is not prey.
Spider Man moves in a hypnotic arc around her. He raises
his hands in a dance-like movement. Lowers them.
SPIDER MAN
The female usually signals her
willingness by an uncharacteristic
passivity.
MJ takes a deep breath. Her lip trembles. Her knees are
weak. Her eyes, though, are steady, gazing at the
silhouette before her. She doesn't move of speak. He
moves closer.
SPIDER MAN
In certain crab spiders, such as Xysticus,
the male will attach strands of silk to
the female... tying her limbs...
Spider Man moves his hand gracefully across her, and she
sees the sheerest silk webbing glinting in the moonlight.
First one wrist. Then the other. Hypnotic movement in
the moonlight. Her arms are bound to the wall. Her
breathing gets more rapid.
SPIDER MAN
Since the female can break free at any
time, the bonds have only symbolic
significance.
MARY JANE
The male must be very bold... to take
such liberties with the predatory female.
SPIDER MAN
Yes. He is very bold. But he must also
trust her.
(he moves very close)
Close your eyes.
He removes his mask and kisses her. Their mouths very
slowly and very sensuously devour each other.
Peter and MJ are locked together. He is mesmerizing,
gentle, powerful. He pushes up her skirt. They make
love, high above the world.
She doesn't look.
Seriously I want to get some kind of court injunction wherein James Cameron can never ever write about sex ever.

I believe Marvel licenses video game rights separately from movie rights.
Because otherwise the only conclusion is that Sony's left hand doesn't really realize that there even is a right hand, let alone what it's doing.
