PS3 to receive exclusive "Collector's Edition" of Spiderman 3 game

Scheduled for a simultaneous release with the regular version of Spider-Man 3 in early May, Spider-Man 3 Collector's Edition will add a number of bonus features not available on other platforms. Webisodes from the Spidey 3 movie, an exclusive interview with producer Avi Arad, and behind the scenes talks with Tobey Maguire, Topher Grace, Thomas Haden Church, James Franco, JK Simmons, and Bruce Campbell are also included. Players will even be able to access special Spider-Man 3 trailers and a couple of other undisclosed goodies.

so they get full reign over which platform gets full benefits and which one gets shafted.

wildcat6670d ago

The games will be exactly the same, but who wouldn't think that Sony would give themselves a little something extra, I mean they have the SpiderMan text on their system, it's the least they can do.

Sphinx6670d ago

DJ, you can't be serious. Who actually watches the behind-the-scenes and interviews? I know I don't. I actually can't say I know anyone who does. I just get games to play... that is what games are meant for, right? Why would I get a game to watch people talk about the game?
Ok, so maybe there are people who watch said commentaries and whatnot, but I don't think it would merit the use of the term "shafted". Come on, DJ, is it that bad? Is the PS3 so bad that you have to try and make it look better because one of the games it will play has commentaries on it, while the other platforms aren't treated to such a treat if they so choose to play the same game?
Straws, man, you're grasping for straws.

DJ6670d ago (Edited 6670d ago )

I mean jeez, you even brought system hardware into the discussion. =P BTW, those interviews are in relation to the movie, not the game. Expect to see this happen a lot more often and in other areas such as online. I didn't think of this at first, but I agree with Deepbrown that Blu-ray also means they can afford to allocate space for these extra features.

techie6670d ago (Edited 6670d ago )

I think that's slightly harsh against DJ. I don't think that was the implication of what he was saying at all. If anything it was slightly negative against Sony. It is Sony's movie and so they can decide who to shaft - and give themselves the better deal...did DJ say that means it's better?

Is this what Blu-ray is to be used for...? Maybe they could put the whole movie of Spiderman3 on as well... Oh and to DJ above...my comment about Blu-ray was sarcasm. If blu-ray means that we get lots of sh'tty trailers and extra content then I@M OUT - I'd rather pay £100 less please.

power of Green 6670d ago

How long have you been on this site?. I think DJ has commented on 1 to 2 posts with out some shaddy double meaning that wasn't trying to provoke members with different preferences.

See Quote: you even brought system hardware into the discussion" If the PS3 isn't hardware i don't know what is, the very nature of his first comment is about hardware, it's the child-like reasoning mixed with tons of knowlege is the reason people take what DJ has to say with a box of Salt..

techie6670d ago (Edited 6670d ago )

Of course I've seen what DJ can do. But I felt in this instance it wasn't even implied. It was in some ways showing what a biatch Sony can be. So I thought that some crazy bashing was out of order, when this is a fellow person you're posting to.

Hell get out the hot pokers when he starts to sound like a fanboy and diss the 360 for irrational reasons. But just keep them warming in the fire until that happens. (what a SH'T metaphor - I apologise)

Also it's not like it's a threat to the 360 that a crappy movie game will get some extra content on one platform. Hell let the ps3 guys be smug about it, because it means nothing! Perhaps just some extr sales - if that when theres so many more 360's in people's homes.

power of Green 6670d ago

Who care's the game doesn't look that great anyways.

techie6670d ago

Oh so true. It's of course for fans of the film...kids n such like. Which is all good.

Anyone remember the Terminator 3 game...HA! I seem to remember that going down in history as oneof the least profitable games EVER.

Sphinx6670d ago

DJ saw this article and jumped on it, like a fat kid on a cupcake... who hasn't eaten since Tuesday. You can give him the benefit of the doubt if you like, but this is what I've seen DJ do time and time again. He overly exaggerates everything that could possibly be good for the PS3... I'm starting to think he's on the payroll.

Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man use to be my favorite until Insomniac games took over.

Inverno553d ago

I'd still choose Ultimate above all other games, followed by Shattered Dimensions

Abnor_Mal553d ago (Edited 553d ago )

My favorite and still champion Spiderman PS2, followed by Marvels Spiderman2, then Miles Morales, followed by Marvels Spiderman, and finally Ultimate Spiderman.

I need to drag out my PS3 and try Web of Shadows, owned the game for years and years and never played.

Rimeskeem553d ago

Shout out to cultured vultures for NOT making this 40 separate pages.

Relientk77552d ago

Spider-Man (2000), Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions were all so good! I have fond memories playing them.

The Most Disappointing Video Game Sequels - Part Five

Phil writes, "It's never a good feeling to be hyped for the next installment of one of your favorite franchises, and then POW! You're blindsided with an extremely disappointing game that hardly lives up to your anticipation and hype. That's the focus of The Most Disappointing Video Game Sequels, and now we're at the fifth installment. This are six more of those games that were either rushed out, released in a broken or incomplete state, or were simply less than stellar experiences overall.

After you browse through and read up on the latest unfortunate games added to this growing series of articles, which game sequels that haven't already been mentioned in a previous article do you think should be added in a future installment?"

These games are very old now its easier to just locate a ps3

ProjectVulcan2418d ago

Not the point. I for one want Metal Gear Solid 4 in minimum native 1080p and 60FPS. On PS3 it ran 1024 x 768 and about 25FPS.

So the only way that ever looks like happening is via emulation. Good work is being done on RPCS3.

marioJP872418d ago

Ain't happening. You'll get 1080P but the frame rate won't run at 60 fps. Emulators don't work that way as PC games does. Not a single emulator has been able to override a 30 fps game to run at 60 fps ... actual 60 frames.

ProjectVulcan2418d ago (Edited 2418d ago )

"Ain't happening. You'll get 1080P but the frame rate won't run at 60 fps. Emulators don't work that way"

WRONGGGGG!!!!

@ MarioJP87 Lol sorry but go back to your console, you know nothing about PC emulation. I have run countless console titles that originally ran at 30FPS on PC emulators with a full fat 60FPS refresh. Countless! I suggest you google for Zelda BOTW emulation, where it's easy to have 50FPS+ for a game usually running 30 or below on Switch. https://www.youtube.com/wat... Just the other day I ran 25FPS PS2 game Metal Gear Solid 3 at 1080/60FPS on PCSX2 https://www.youtube.com/wat... ......two examples.

It is true some games are designed with critical parts of the engine locked to frame rate, but most actually aren't. Probably 98 percent aren't. This is because many console games don't remain locked to 30FPS, so unless you hit the 30FPS you have problems elsewhere.

Whats more some of the ones that do have stuff like animation and physics locked to a 30FPS pacing occasionally have work around options baked into an advanced emulator.

MGS3 is one of those with specific configuration for 60FPS, AND it even has analogue button controller support to boot! Not even the Xbox 360 remaster has that!

letsa_go2418d ago

Thank you for schooling him, ProjectVulcan! I was like...wtf is this guy talking about? haha Someone has never used an emulator before I guess.

Spartacus102418d ago

By that logic you might as well not play any console exclusive from this gen since one day it will possibly be playable in native 4k, 144hz.

Yeah its a fact that the higher the res and frame rate the better, but waiting for all these years while the graphics themselves start to become outdated seems like one step forward, two steps back.

starchild2418d ago

@marioJP87

One of the benefits of emulation is the ability to run at higher resolutions and smoother framerates. I can assure you I've run many console games at 60fps which normally run far below that. ProjectVulcan is correct about everything he said.

@Father__Merrin

I don't want to have yet another console cluttering up the area around my TV. I don't really have the space for it to be honest. Backwards compatibility should be a normal feature for any gaming device. But emulation brings lots of additional benefits anyway.

marioJP872417d ago (Edited 2417d ago )

Show me a YouTube video with all of your claims and I will retract my comment. I've been emulating for years on PC, PS3 in its linux days and android. I know what I'm talking about. You claim 98% of emulated games? Show me proof. What can you provide besides MGS?
What other emulators do you claim are capable of this?

ProjectVulcan2416d ago (Edited 2416d ago )

Erm, most emulators are capable of it. DEMUL, PCSX2, Dolphin, Project64, ePSXe etc etc.....

I showed you two games that emulate at higher frame rates than on their native platforms. One is enough to prove the point. Pick either. Find videos of the other ten thousand yourself, it is not difficult.

It's a fact and you really don't know anything about emulation if you think that you cannot emulate console games to run faster! That's patently not true to anyone that has genuinely emulated console games on PC before.

marioJP872415d ago

Bull crap. I've been running dolphin for years on my laptop. I'm currently running it on my GTX 965m. I damn sure cant run resident evil 4 at 60 fps and I mean real 60 fps, not 60 frames with a locked 30 fps. I cant run "The Warriors" or "Manhunt" on PCSX2 at 60 fps.
Now if you can show me just a 30 second video of you running RE4 at 60 fps using dolphin, then I will admit to you being right and me being wrong.

Shhhhh. Let the master race who claim to have a better game platform try and find ways to illegally play better games.

MoshA2418d ago

Huh? Most people have played these games before and want to replay them on higher settings. Those who haven't won't enjoy them as much without nostalgia anyway.

ProjectVulcan2418d ago

Emulation is not illegal. This shouldn't have to be pointed out here, it should be common knowledge even to knuckle dragging mouth breathers.

annoyedgamer2418d ago

The ignorance is oozing from this comment.

letsa_go2418d ago

They get all the PC games, PLUS the ability to play console games. Sounds like master race to me!

william_cade2418d ago

Poor Heavy Rain lol that game was and is a pile. Emulation sounds cool though - Res. Evil 3 and Directors Cut all the way.

Skankinruby2418d ago

Ugh, motorstorm collection on psn please!

LoveSpuds2418d ago

Know that would be a great collection of games for sure. My only gripe with these games was how difficult they got by the time you were two thirds of the way through the campaign.

Harkins17212418d ago

Making great game play even better!

pyroxxx2418d ago

So games run at 10 fps and graphical glitches not seen since pcsx2 in 2003,.. I will get there someday.

PirosThe4th2418d ago

Many games already run at full speed
