[AnimeJune]

I've gone to a few anime conventions, but never to a comic convention, myself. I read the Spider-Man comics and the "Runaways" series, but that's about it.

[tobeymaguire04]

theres definitely going to be something
maybe an interview with THC, like they had with Molina, after showing clips of the new villains awesomeness of course

[Shenron]

They released most fo there information about these movies at comic-con. Its a big chance for movie makers to promote there movie. They did it with Alfred Molina as Doc Ock. They showed that scene at the hospital at comic-con

I wish they do the same thing with THC. Better, would be if they'd do it with Grace, but I doubt they'll do that so...

[Shenron]

I thinking they will with maybe atleast 2. I think we might get a surprise of venom for when we actually go see the movie

[spider ED]

Comic Con will def. have some Major stuff for Spidey 3 ......i can´t wait.

[Synoptic23]

I'm going to Comic Con this summer. Is anyone else going to go?

[Guide_Eve]

I'll be there again this year. :)

[tobeymaguire04]

sweet, wish i could go :shake:

[Shenron]

I'll be there again this year. :) Ive never been? How does it all work? Do you work for the spider-man section or something?

[Jason Martell]

I wonder with three villains, what would they show exactly? there is no way they are going to give us three clips from the movie.

I bet it will be the teaser trailer.

[AnimeJune]

Ive never been? How does it all work? Do you work for the spider-man section or something?
The administrators (the Guides) have said that they work for sony, and that's why they get to be moderators here.

[Shenron]

What I meant was what happens exactly at comic-con

[Synoptic23]

What I meant was what happens exactly at comic-con

I don't know what exactly happens at Comic-Con. All I know is that I am going!!! Oh, it will be sweet.

[Guide_Eve]

At Comic-Con there are film announcments, screenings and all sorts of comicy (is that a word?) stuff going on. It's turned into a media event - where new tv shows are launched like lost several years ago and invasion last year as well. and i've even seen stan lee wondering around the last couple of years as well. :) Oh and more storm troopers than you can imagine!

We (the Spider-Man network team) usually go and interview people at the event about Spider-Man and take photos. Here are some photos from last year:

I actually had a question for the moderator - did you know the censors are down? They're not asterix'ing bad words out any more.

[Guide_Eve]

It's too soon to say what will happen at comic-con this year.

[Shenron]

Isnt it only 2 months away though?

[mr_moogle]

Comic Con is pretty far away (No it is not) so why don't we all get exited for The E3 show instead?

Playstation 3
Nintendo Wii (They changed the Revolution name to Wii)
Xbox 360

Plus games like Marvel: Ultimate allicance and maybe Spider-Man 3. (a graphic demo, I hope atleast)
And for you who don't live in sweden: Battelfield 2142. Evereybody in sweden knows about it, some reporters have allready played it. And it isn't even Alpha yet.

[Hobgoblin!]

Xbox 360

That has been out for Months now

Wii? As in "Wheee"? Why don't the just call it that - the Nintendo Wheee! Or check Penny-Arcade's recent take on it. :LOL:
I've sorta gotten out of videogames. I haven't had time to play them, they're sorta expensive, and my PS2 is on the fritz.

[mr_moogle]

That has been out for Months now

Of course I know that. ok lets say like this: 2 minutes of Halo 3. All xbox 360 gametrailers have been in-game fottage and so will probebly the Halo 3 trailer be. I just ment that we will get some facts about games that is going to be released to the console.

AnimeJune: Wii pronounced we. the 2 i's represents the controler. In wich way I don't know.
A great opening for their pressconference is:
Wii will, Wii will ROCK you.

A major joke on a swedish site.

EDITED: Now this will be a pretty long message. A just found it.



"Real people speak out about Wii

As a way of formalizing the "all my friends think Wii is [insert adjective here]" meme that's flowing through our comments system, we've set out three questions that will reveal what friends, relatives and strangers really think about the Nintendo Wii. All the people in this informal vox populi were shown a piece of paper with the word "Wii" drawn on it and asked:

* how they think it's pronounced
* what type of product they think it might be
* once they're told that it's the name of Nintendo's next-gen console, what their immediate reaction is.

weird
Wii
Wii Wii, i am french (jk dont mean to offend)

[Venom289]

Not to keep us off topic but has anyone seen the graphics on it? I can find the same graphics on my gamecube. What im really hoping for is the remake of Final Fantasy 7 on PS3 and xbox 360. I didnt buy Final Fantasy XII for the 360 cause i heard it was awful. I did however buy Oblivion which is a lot of fun.

[King-Kong]

I dont underatnd why they changed the revolution name to "Wii", like what the h ell is wii?

[Shenron]

Poor marketing by Nintendo. Wii means so much different stuff in other countries. I get so mad with nintendo and what they make there games for. They have a great machine but insist on making the games and targeting a younger audience, but what they dont realise that the gamers generation ahve aged and the main market is the older 20yr olds who games since they were young playing there SNES or NES. They could do so much better

which is why Xbox 360 and PS3 will completely dominate sales
the Gamecube was ****, it was still making like Mario: Tennis and Mario Party and (God forbid) Mario Sunshine
we get it! Mario is your franchise character! but we want shoot-em-up games!

[Shenron]

I will buy the new nintendo because it looks cool, but they have to start looking after the audience they created

[Tzarinna]

Comic Con sounds like a good thing to do. I've never been. I've done Dragon Con a few times and that was awesome, I planned to drive down last Labor Day weekend but gas shot up to $6 a gallon. Hopefully this year I could do both.

[mr_moogle]

Venom289: I do have some contacts. Square Enix was not at first planing to make a remake. But after seeing how much the people liked the FFVII graphics demo they are thinking of it. There are with 70% sureness (uhm, you get what I mean) comming a remake. However, this information is not official.

Tobeymaguire04: Have you played Mario Smash Football? That game rules.

[AnimeJune]

Not me. I think I've grown out of videogames - and by grown out of, I mean now with my job and school, I have no time to play them and they're too expensive.

Plus, Wii? The Japanese don't even have a sound for "whee" (the only "w" sounds they have in their language are wa and wo). It sounds like they picked out random letters out of a hat and put them together.

[mr_moogle]

Wii means Good in japanese i think. I read that somewhere.
some guy talked about wii=V=5=Nintendo 5. It is Nintendos fifth console.

[mr_moogle]

You are in some nice islands (Hawaii lokking islands) and are gonna do a whole lot of things. Free roaming type game.

I definatly dont get the game play on them as I use to but I still manage to find some time between uni work and havinga social life. Its one of those hings I just got to ahve :p

[tobeymaguire04]

[Shenron]

[Synoptic23]

I'm not real big into comics. I'm not an avid reader. I just read some Spidey comics. I'm only going to Comic-Con for the potential Spider-man 3 footage.

[tobeymaguire04]

Kool. They're having another masquerade this year. Home made costumes only. I can't wait to see the geeks all dressed up like their favorite characters. The costumes I saw last year were pretty sweet.

Like grand theft auto. It looks really cool.

[kawkaw]

I would love to see Sam Raimi, Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, James Franco and Tobey MaGuire. A 3 minute clip of Spider-Man 3. Plus, four huge posters (like the Doc Ock one) of "SANDMAN" in his living sand-form, "GREEN GOBLIN II," a different "SPIDER-MAN" poster in his black costume and a hint of "VENOM."

This would bring the Comic-Con to its knees with excitement, truly making Spider-Man 3 Comic-Con's main event movie.:cool:

Me too - hey, is anyone else looking forward to seeing "My Super Ex-Girlfriend"? Because I'm stoked for that!

I do read (and love) the Ultimate version, but not everyone on the boards respects that version. No problem, you're entitled to your opinion, but it's my favourite comic.

Anyhoo, I can't come to Comic Con, because I'm stuck selling books here in Canada. I have to make money for tuition.

[Mutant Carnage]

well, don't rightly know
