Carnage has been revealed as DLC for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The official website for the game has lead animator Adam Olshan chatting a bit about the differences between the character versus Spider-Man, and Venom, citing his viciousness.

“We used the word “vicious” a lot when talking about how he should look. “Crazy” too, because of the background of who he is and what he is. I worked mostly on his basic melee combat,” said Olshan. “That’s when we really pay attention to how we can differentiate that character. Spider-Man needs to be agile & springy. Venom was more of a bruiser, like a huge jungle cat who attacks with lethal clawed swipes.

“For Carnage, we wanted him to feel as quick as Spider-Man, but as dangerous as Venom (or worse). We ended up with a very “slashy” character. Carnage is like a lunatic knife fighter: cutting people up quickly and messily, without much concern for how he looks doing it.”

No word on when this bit of DLC will hit the game, but to tide you over, Kotaku has some screens and video posted of Carnage for your consideration.

Activision’s Mike Griffith has just announced that a new Bond game will release in 2010.

No release date or details were announced.

In the same breath, he stated that new Tony Hawk and Spider-Man games were also expected in the next calendar year.

This is in line with the company’s commitment to proven franchises, said the boss.

Activision company president and CEO Mike Griffith has revealed that we’ll see new James Bond, Tony Hawk, Spider-Man, and Transformers titles in 2010.

There’ll be a Shrek 4 game too, thank God.

The news comes via Gamespot, who listened in on Activision’s pre-E3 presser yesterday.

Radical Entertainment has posted job listings for a designer and programmer familiar with Wii.

The designer must have an “affinity for 3rd Person ‘Open-World’ Camera Design/Functionality”, and the programmer needs to be able to “take game features from concept to execution for a port of a 360/PS3 game to the Wii.”

Talk has it as a possible Wii port of Prototype, but more than likely it’s the Spider-man game rumored to be in development.

According to this Variety report, Radical’s been tasked with creating the next Spider-Man game.

The company’s finishing up on Prototype at the moment, an open-world superhero game. Not really a huge surprise the Acti studio’s getting busy with everyone’s favourite webslinger.

There’s no date. But if Prototype’s apparent quality’s anything to go by, there’s plenty to look forward to.
