One of the biggest and coolest moments of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was when we finally got the chance to play as Venom. It's undoubtedly cool to get to jump out of the shoes of our two Spider-Men and play a new character, but one of the biggest reasons Insomniac wanted to let us play as Venom was to let us see how dangerous and vicious he is. Take in the cinematic sights of Marvel’s New York with support for a range of screen setups, including 16:9, 16:10, 21:9, 32:9, and 48:9 resolutions. 48:9 resolutions with triple monitor setups are compatible with NVIDIA Surround or AMD Eyefinity. Even though Pete does some crazy things with the symbiote, he never totally crosses the line," Intihar said. "With that in mind, we wanted to show a kind of unfiltered Venom and give players this ultimate power fantasy of what you could do with the symbiote. We wanted the player to go, 'This is how brutal this character could be.' We wanted to show that it's really going to take both Pete and Miles to take him down, because Kraven couldn't do it, all of the hunters couldn't do it, and all the Oscorp people couldn't do it either."

Throughout Marvel’s historic Bronze Age of the 1970s, there were tales so titanic, adventures so grand, and battles so larger than life that they could only be told in special GIANT-SIZE comics! So, in a way, having Venom playable was just as much a story-telling device as it was a way to include an awesome moment of inhabiting legendary villain. However, Intihar doesn't want us to think we'll get to play as every villain in the Spidey-verse because it's cool. So, don't just assume we'll get a chance to become Green Goblin in a potential Spider-Man 3 after that tease in the game, even though we'd be all for it! In truth, however, the choice of who we get to play as has to serve the greater story. When Spider-Nor-Man was having a discussion with Superior Spider-Man, both he and Spiders-Man decided to leave the group, with Norman saying he would return to his world and find a solution. When they both left, they were teleported to the Web of Life and Destiny. There, Norman explained he saw it when holding a Cosmic Cube. Spiders-Man found Karn's corpse and feasted on it. Norman decided to destroy the Web of Life and Destiny to trap the Inheritors on Earth-616, but not before Spiders-Man spread his spiders throughout different realities across the Multiverse. [3] Superior Spider-Man [ ] And so I think that's kind of like, find the elements of the character and story that people love and bring that to them, but how can you add your own spin? And I think that kind of direction what we've done with the whole franchise from the beginning is like, respect the DNA of the character, but don't be afraid to mix things up from time to time." Was It Always in the Plan to Let Us Play as Venom?Hoping to learn how his co-worker Peter Parker (Spider-Man's alter ego) always gets great photos of Spider-Man, Foswell follows him, and witnesses a (faked) conversation between Parker and Spider-Man indicating they've been conspiring to ensure that Parker is always present when Spider-Man goes into action. Parker and Foswell occasionally work together, with Peter tipping off Foswell as Spider-Man before a major bust and then taking pictures to go with Foswell's stories. I don't know if I would say a particular thing," Intihar tells us. "I think some type of natural setting. I do love that. I do love that moment in No Way Home when he's swinging through the forest and eventually, he finds Electro and Sandman." Spider-Man 2 Director Explains Why Those MJ Stealth Scenes Had to Be Included

However, Marvel publisher Martin Goodman was not initially receptive to the idea of a teen hero taking centre stage, nor did he want to accept Spider-Man’s neuroses, romantic deficiencies, and chronic concerns about money. Goodman also thought that the audience would be repelled by the character’s spider motif. Fortunately, Lee’s instincts prevailed. Spider-Man’s debut in Amazing Fantasy was an immediate and resounding success.The other thing is we talked a lot to the character team," he says. "What are the character team excited about making? They put so much time and effort into those suits. I want them to wake up every morning and go, 'I'm excited to work on this character. I'm excited to work on this suit.' So we leaned on them as well, because a lot of them are hardcore comic-book fans, and they have their suits." We Learned Why Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Didn't Have Any Big Wolverine Crossovers or Teases Besides the Suit Peter Parker was once a promising young student, invited by Max Modell alongside his best friend, Gwen Stacy, to tour his bleeding-edge company at Horizon Labs. One of the experiments the pair observed was a massive colony of spiders Modell was bombarding with numerous radioactive particles in the name of genetic alteration. Parker fell into the colony, where he was seemingly devoured- but in the process, the spiders became a singular hive-mind construct that absorbed Parker's consciousness. Masquerading as the man they absorbed, the hive, calling itself Spiders-Man, put on a costume and began to fight crime in "Cruel York". OK, now we’re really getting into the nitty gritty of things, and where some comic book nerdery comes into play. Just as Spider-Man has existed in multiple forms on screen, so too has he in the Marvel comics he came from. There’s the ‘Ultimate’ universe Spider-Man, multiple different Earth versions (Earth-9500, Earth-982, etc etc), and the Earth-616 universe where he first appeared from the minds of creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

Gross, Edward (2002). Spider-Man Confidential: From Comic Icon to Hollywood Hero. Hyperion. ISBN 0786887222. With the launch of Marvel's Spider Man 2, Insomniac now has three Spidey adventures under its belt. While each game offers a ton of surprises and improvements from what came before, all of the games are set in New York City.This is also seen in the Bebop and Hard Bop side-missions, where Miles is working to uncover the truth behind the Cultural Center robbery. This was very meaningful for the team as it was not only a way to expand Miles as a character, but to also honor his culture. As for what happened to the "Undies" suit, Intihar first joked that maybe Peter is now "a little shy" and didn't want that one anymore. The real reason is more that he thinks it wasn't as exciting for the team that prioritized other suits. That's something I'm so proud of the team for. That they were able to really make a game that not only is, 'Oh, it's Spider-Man 2, there's two heroes," but it's a story that requires both of them. And we see their relationship, change, evolve, grow, as much as we see any of the other relationships in the game."
