Updated: Debut Trailer
It was only a matter of time before Sega revealed it was working on an Iron Man 2 video game, but it's not often a company takes time during its announcement press release to apologize for the quality (or complete lack thereof, in this case) of he previous video game. Yet, Sega bowed to gamers in their Iron Man 2 press release, pleading fans to take a look at their sequel.
Here's your apology, gamers:
"The development team at SEGA Studios San Francisco has also paid close attention to comments from fans and critics concerning the first Iron Man movie game. As a result of this feedback, Iron Man 2 will feature a greater focus on powerful hand-to hand combat, as well as a completely redesigned control scheme, making it more fun for gamers to feel the power and strength of Iron Man."
Iron Man 2 isn't a direct adaptation of the movie sequel that just finished filming. Rather, comic writer Matt Fraction has taken elements of the movie and its sequel (such as the inclusion of villain Crimson Dynamo) and created a brand-new plot specifically geared for an Iron Man video game. That's the hope, anyway, right?
Fraction's comic work includes The Invincible Iron Man, The Uncanny X-Men, The Immortal Iron Fist and many of his own original work, including Casanova, Five Fists of Science and Last of the Independents.
Iron Man 2 will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii and DS in spring 2010. Are you willing to give Sega another chance?

Finally a Studio apologizes for making us play a crappy tie-in game!?!
Will they finally stop making them, or make them how Wolverine's game was.
I'm for either option.

they're apologizing for iron man 2....a movie game which everyone always assumes will suck? how about making a redeeming sonic game?!

i think x men origins set the the tone for superhero movie tie-in video games and now every superhero movie game has something to live up to.

I didnt play Iron man the game but if they had to do an apology it must have sucked bad. but good for you Sega I always liked my Sega Genesis and still have and still play it.

well I am willing to give Sega some points for seeing that their game was poor the first time around and are willing to listen to the customers and try to make a better game. I only played the demo of the Iron Man game, did not care for it, but I am now willing to check out part 2 now.

A company apologizing for a crappy game? Hell just froze over. Nonetheless, it's nice to see a company listening to us gamers. I'll giver Iron Man 2 a shot.

Ironman demo sucked. I'll see how the Iron Man 2 demo is before I render a final verdict on this possibly craptastic masterpiece.

Saga needs to apologize for making hedge turn into the worst game ever now. ... Fix that game too while you are at it ..

Still looks like garbage.

Yeah, the graphics looked pretty bad in that trailer.

that didn't seem like much of an apology. It seemed like they said what any decent studio should do, respond to criticism and provide a better product.

Where exactly did they apologize? They said "we heard a lot of bashing on the last game so we'll try and do better so someone will buy one". There's no "sorry" or "we apologize" in there at all

Another movie-based video game? Pass.
