Gamespot.com gave a preview of the Sega-produced video game which will be based on the upcoming Iron Man movie. Their description of the game may give some hints about the movie, and if so this may be spoilerish to a minor degree…
Here are some of the games details, which I presume related to the armor’s capabilities in the movie, along with some character stuff as well:

- The armor will fire repulsors (for the non-initiated, that’s an energy beam weapon) from both Iron Man’s hands and his chest emitter. The chest beam is more powerful but drains the armor’s energy reserves more quickly.
- Iron Man may also have the capability to fire missiles (I assume, miniature) from his armor
- Regarding flight, the armor will have the ability to hover, so it will not just be forward motion super-speed flight.
- Like the Silver Surfer in the recent Fantastic Four sequel, Iron Man is powerful enough to grab an incoming missle and redirect it back at the launcher that shot them.
- He is strong enough to rip apart a tank.
- Armor has the ability to intercept enemy radio communications.
- At least in the video game, Jarvis, long-time butler of The Avengers does put in an appearance.
Will all this translate into the movie? We can’t know for sure, but I’m thinking it will. Maybe some of you folks who have some experience with video games based directly on superhero movies (Superman Returns, Spider-Man) can chime in?

I’ve found, of course, in the video games the powers are much more utilized than they were in the movie; Superman barely used any of his ‘powers’ other than super strength and flight in the movie, but in the game you fire off ice breath, heat vision, ect. ect.
But to make a point to this, I think they will include all of those things in the Iron Man movie, just to get the action fans attention — though I think it will be more based on stunning visual effects of certain things rather than a whole variety ( Really good graphics/attention to detail in his hover and hand cannons, but less on the rockets )
As for the chest cannon you mentioned, my bet is if that’s in the movie, it’ll be the finale. The “Moment of Glory.”
But who knows? Toni might get trigger happy in the movie and blast everything to kingdom-come with rockets and all sorts of things.
I’m glad to see they’re still keeping his basic gear, I was kind of put-off when I saw they replaced Optimus Prime’s axe with a “Hotrod”

I agree with Rev, in video games the powers are much more utilized than they were/are in the movies. Looking forward to seeing IM showcase a little of all that was listed above especially the classic hovering then super sonic flight and IM ripping a tank open with his armor clad hands.
