I just don't see how this will work.
I never played the spiderman games, but if I'm not mistaken, in those you just fire your web up and it just magically connects to the sky or something. But here it seems like you actually have to have something to grapple onto.

This game looks great in motion. I'll get the PC version for sure if it turns out to be a good game.

Hmm it looks okay I guess... Not a fan of the whole "Spiderman" swinging through city stuff, I just hope they pull it off. For all our sakes.

Now we have to watch movie trailers before the actual video? My head hurts.

Why do I feel attracted to games with Japanese text slapped on it?

I'm still a bit on the fence about this game but when he tossed that car I became a lot more excited about this game then before. Hoping it turns out well.

This game looks completely awesome to me. I'm not scared of a bit of learning curve when it comes to control. I got skillz yo.

I think it looks rather shakey...Loving the remake they stick on the MP tho...
Looks sorta like spiderman..if spiderman had guns hehehe
I cant see how a game with gameplay like this can work in 3D, but i will pick it up as im interested to see how it does!

I believe in Grin after BC: Rearmed, but I'm hesitant to believe they can repeat the magic in 3D. I'm optimistic, but not convinced yet.

I have to say this looked pretty exciting, will wait for the reviews but the environments looked really nice to me and the sense of speed and scale were all there...

oooh that looks fun. a bit spiderman-esque with the grappling hook, but that's not a bad thing. the graphics look beautiful, combat with the bionic arm looks original and fun to play with, and bosses look difficult, or at least spectacular. i want it

Oh noes teh game won't play itself for me.
Since when did having to practice and master a core game mechanic become a bad thing? Bionic Commando was never for the casual gamer.
Oh, and I agree with Fyrinn.

@Elliuotatar: That "web sticking to the sky" thing only happened in the first Spider-Man movie game. All the others would automatically stick to the first viable point (or simply wouldn't stick at all).

Ooooooooooooooh... They have the only thing that was good in Spider-Man The Movie 2 =D
And Rearmed is fantastic. Seems like a win win situation...

@excel_excel: It was. Plus it didnt sound like Mike P in that trailer at all.
I guess he is not the main character's voice?

Control issues? Like, the ones they said weren't issues, and were intentionally hard to master?

@Deuce:
You know, you could always use the code the included in Rearmed to get the old costume back. I plan to. No dreadlocks for me.

It needs to have an option to listen to the Bionic Rearmed soundtrack. I hope they do something like this.
