Spider-Man 3 site features downloadable PSP content
PlayStation 3 and Spider-Man 3's destinies seem to coincide with each other (they share the same font at least), so it seems to make sense that the official Spider-Man 3 website features a PSP section where you can download a wallpaper and trailer for the portable. If you're a Firefox user like me, the site's use of pop-ups makes it a pain in the ass to download these files, so just direct-download them here:WallpaperTrailerThese files come in EXE files to make sure that everyone is able to load this content to their systems. But still, it feels weird seeing the InstallShield come up when you're trying to install a freakin' wallpaper.
Wii to get unique Spider-Man 3 version
According to WiiSpot.com, the Wii version of the multiplatform Spider-Man 3 title will be different than the versions that end up on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The question is, how different?3rd party developers that are used to churning out 3-way (or 4-way) ports of the same title are going to be faced with some decisions. Big publishers might choose to split duties between two different developers, as looks to be the case with the Madden franchise. But don't be surprised if Wii owners start getting gypped because of the console's shortcomings (when compared to the technical power of the PS3 or Xbox 360). The ability to motion to a point on the screen with the Wii controller and fire off a web shot, for example, is certainly no consolation.Without an obvious advantage, publishers/developers are not going to take risks (i.e. spend millions) to develop truly unique Wii versions of multiplatform titles.
The Spider-Man PS3 font returns... for 3rd Spider-Man flick
How far are we willing to go to satisfy our PlayStation 3 cravings? Just check out that image to the right for a small taste of the console imagery which rightfully should be ours.A couple weeks ago, Sony Pictures Entertainment released the promotional image you see here for Spider-Man 3, set to be released in theaters May 4th, 2007. It's been one of the few new official media glimpses of the PS3 font to roll out of Sony HQ in Western markets recently.Now if only we could add a "P" and an "S" before that little "3" in the corner, we'd have something pretty to show for Sony's latest dream machine. Alas, the movie title referenced also contains those limited letters (but placed in the wrong arrangement). Well, just as long as the PS3 arrives before the year of Peter Parker's next big-screen adventure, we'll be mighty pleased.
