Thanks to an earlier press release from Sega we can report that the demo for the upcoming
Iron Man game will be going online sometime tomorrow. With the movie and game both set to be released on May 2, it was rather important for Sega to get this out there a few weeks in advance to garner more mindshare. Especially with
analysts saying that the movie could be upstaged by
GTA IV. Whether or not the movie is a success, we just wish the gods of exclusive content had seen fit to give us
the cooler armor. Oh well, at least we've still got the demo tomorrow, the PS3 demo has no definite release date at all.

Silver Centurion is awesome, don't knock it.
Terrence Stasse @ Apr 17th 2008 8:29PM
Ultimate > Centurion :)
I don't care if Kirby originally designed the Centurion armor, the Ultimate just looks much better. Hell, if that was the armor that appeared in the movie I'd actually go and see it when it releases on July 30

ultimate looks like total ass
Taylor @ Apr 17th 2008 8:21PM
The iron man site says the movie comes out May 2nd FYI.

That's what the article says, no?
Unless something else was written before, and then Terrence changed it after reading what you wrote O.o
Taylor @ Apr 17th 2008 9:30PM
@LesbianHam
Yeah, it was changed, it said before the movie came out April 30th and the game came out May 2nd.

Don't always trust Wikipedia kids.

Wow I didn't see it coming out this soon.
Jared @ Apr 17th 2008 9:01PM
Ughh...Centurion looks like some shite manga-crap.
Halonut1 @ Apr 17th 2008 10:19PM
you do know that armor is not even related to manga at all right? that armor has only been in western comics...
Now that other armor on the other hand..can see the resemblance.

dont dis yoda.
yoda > all
(reference to caption in the pic)
Magic Whiskey @ Apr 17th 2008 10:00PM
Yoda is uber.
The Silver Centurion is nice, but my favorite is the classic armor from the late 70's/early 80's.
Don't knock Yoda, Terrence..Vader, after all, was a whiny crying bratling that couldn't separate emotion from thought.
Magic Whiskey @ Apr 17th 2008 10:06PM
Oh and for the record, the Iron Man game features seven armors, all able to be unlocked.
There's the Mark 1 from the movie and you can unlock
the Mark 3 from the movie,
the original Mark 1 (shellhead) armor,
the Ultimate armor,
the Extremis armor,
the 'Classic' armor I mentioned above,
the Hulkbuster armor
the Silver Centurion armor.
Terrence Stasse @ Apr 17th 2008 10:14PM
Yeah Vader was a whiny emo, but he grew up bad-ass enough.
And Yoda was way better as a bumbling Zatoichi-type figure than as a sword-fighting muppet.

Yoda never looked better than he did in Episode III. For me, Obi-Wan and Yoda made the whole flippin' movie!
(I'm biased tho..Yoda is my all time favorite fictional character, so..yeah. Vader is teh stiff-neckness compared to th' kneehigh badass.)
Anticrawl @ Apr 17th 2008 11:54PM
I wish they would have given us Obi-wan instead of Yoda. Obi-Wan > all Jedi
Anticrawl @ Apr 17th 2008 11:56PM
The Iron Man game would be truely awesome if there was a sequal in which you could play through co-op campaign as Iron Man and War Machine Crackdown style.
Anticrawl @ Apr 18th 2008 12:05AM
Also I'd like to say how pleased I am with the final armor they chose for the movie. Especially when you see how nasty the original designs were.

Proceed with caution Iron Man fans, only fans with strong constitutions should view that site.
Arnob @ Apr 18th 2008 12:50PM
yea, yoda is so awesome/perceptive the only reason he did not kick the emperor/vaders ass in episode III because he realized if he did, there would be no IV, V, or VI, meaning that the star wars saga will only be a trilogy and it would always suck. Yea, thats how badass he is.
ryan @ Apr 18th 2008 5:39PM
Vader didn't duel in the new trilogy whereas Yoda did.
Good SW Trilogy> Bad SW trilogy.
Superjay @ Apr 18th 2008 4:57AM
Why are they complaining about the red and silver iron man. Any real Iron Man fan would rather have that classic 80's armor instead of some new ultimate armor they just made.
ANt @ Apr 18th 2008 10:26AM
Condemned 2 and this, good demo week!!
Michael Paul @ Apr 18th 2008 11:03AM
I just remember how I loved the Superman Returns demo and now the real game sits waiting for me to deal with stupid asteroids or whatever...
intRvenous @ Apr 18th 2008 1:07PM
Ultimate is arse...looks like some design reject from the Lost In Space film! Every sci-fi cliche rolled into one...
Centurion FTW ... and Yoda FTW. Yoda will be way more fun to play...
ryan @ Apr 18th 2008 5:42PM
he looks broken to me. i'll go PS3 for SC4, due to better control pad and because a dueling Vader reminds me of the actual GOOD trilogy. :D
FreekyWiggle @ Apr 18th 2008 2:26PM
the ultimate version is ps3 only, and the silver centurion is 360 only. i think the ultimate one doesnt look too good, it looks better in the comics, but the silver centurion is nothing special either really.
i remeber me and my bro used to play an iron man side scroller when i was little.. it was either on the sega megadrive or the ps1, i cant remember. if you played 2 player co op one got to be the red and yellow classic iron man and the other was the classic iron man aswell, except they were black and white. i always had to be black and white. older brothers are mean. i cant remeber the name of it for the life of me, but it was a great game
ryan @ Apr 18th 2008 5:45PM
the only thing cool about the Ulitmate Armor is it's title. the rest looks too "anime happy glowy shiny" for me.
Centurion looks just like a few other designs. same model parts I think. It's a lose lose situation i think...unless the game is actually good, then everyone wins.
skunkworks @ Apr 18th 2008 5:52PM
I hope this game is decent.
Wilson @ Apr 19th 2008 1:39AM
This demo SUCKS! I mean, really, the flying is worse than the Superman Returns game.
Rk4n3 @ Apr 19th 2008 11:00AM
You know at first I thought the PS3 only armor was cooler too...
But that isnt the Iron Man I know... That PS3 armor is some kickass crime fighter I havent seen before. I like the retro look of the Iron Man suits that the Xbox has. And I cannot wait for this game to come out... I agree with Anticrawl they should put out Superhero Games Crackdown style... that would be awesome.
