Spider-Man (PS4) - Part 2

[BrollySupersj]

I want this suit.

Ant Man?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Ant Man?

That's the comment me and my siblings made whenever we watched an episode of this show in our childhood, little did I know about a Marvel character with this name.

 

[Eggyman]

I'd really like Venom to be a few side missions. Similar to manbat in Arkham Knight. You see him while you're crossing the city and then try to catch him via a webswinging race and then he vanishes. Maybe the last race finishes with you catching up and having a quick punch up or something.

 

[Nathan]

I wouldn't want Venom to be the main villain, but I'd like him to be more than the Man-Bat segment from Arkham Knight. He should be a more beefy side mission if he's in.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Yeah, a Man-Bat type-role would be underwhelming for Venom.

 

[Eggyman]

I'd want there to be a little more to it than that. I was only comparing how you'd see him in the city. Talking of AK, he could even be a little like Joker, the way he appears on rooftops then vanishes, giving you that stalker vibe which imo is his best use - once the fighting starts it's just like any other boss fight but with spider powers.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Man-Bat approach is actually an appropriate idea for a Venom sidequest, but still, I'd rather have zero symbiotes in this game.

 

[Rodrigo90]

But Venom usually targeted Spider-Man; I don't think he'd run away from him in race missions, surely?
Random attacks in the style of Joker popping up out of nowhere and scaring the **** out of you would be suited to Venom's MO.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Mix it up a bit.

Just all depends on perspective. I never imagined it as running away from him but more f***ing with him and taunting him. He's done that plenty.

Now I could see that working: Venom being a tease and stalking Peter and threatening him, which eventually ends up in the latter giving chase.

Yup, something like that. There was a chase in the PS1 game and it could be a better version of that with a good chunk of city to traverse.

I'm not wanting him to be used much but Venom is a great way to give the tone a bit of edge. Going back to the way AK used joker, you could have Spidey swinging past a roof and there's a glimps of Venom then he's gone. Just a bit of foreplay - I don't want the only characters in the game to be rudimentary boss fights.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I'd actually like a team up mission with venom.

 

[Mandon Knight]

Just been watching a 8 part You tube video set made by someone giving as review/thesis on the history of the Spider-man games from the PS1 version onwards upto the anticipation behind this September's.

Can't link for language reasons but if you want too look into more, search for GodzillaMendoza as the broadcast and Spider-man retrospective games as your search choice.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

We've seen his videos, at least me and some folks did.

 

[Michael Frost]

Actually, a Man-Bat kind of sidequest would make sense if you tweak them like it was already suggested above.

Let the comic origins of him role out during the game and then have Venom stalk you here and there, the point is to **** with your mind. The only way to finish the sidequest is to actually being able to spot him and rushing him in time. This sidequest would be organic since he would appear randomly during normal gameplay through the city. Eventually, when you catch up to him, you'd have a quick fight but he would eventually overpower you and then run away with an ominous "Peter Parker's punishment is not over yet" - revealing he knows who you are and setting the stage for a more front stage role in a possible sequel

---

On a different note, I'm stoked for this game after all this gameplay reveal stuff from GameInformer. Im banking on a Green Goblin reveal as the end villain. It's about time we have a proper 616 Goblin villain portrayal in a Spider-man game that's not a movie adaptation.

Note #3: That JJJ voice clip sounds like Bryan Cranston to me.

That's very cool actually.

On another note, do you think it's a stretch that they might get Greg Weisman for creative direction in the sequel? I don't think it's possible, but that would really make me happy. Given that they have a sort of "outside the box" approach, this could be just the thing for the sequel

I'd be for that. Reminds me of the animated series from the 90s. He stalked and tormented Peter before he ever revealed himself.

Norman is running for re-election as mayor of New York.

The Green Goblin is absolutely our final boss.

oh boy i hope so. i kinda see it.

The game is getting a prequel novel in August called 'Spider-Man: Hostile Takeover'

Diggin the cover

EDIT: "NOT FINAL COVER"

 

[Rodrigo90]

It can't be the final cover... He doesn't get that suit till in the game and since that's a prequel...

 

[Galactus123]

Do you guys think that other Marvel games will be on all consoles and PC too? I hope so. I hope there won't be like Iron Man game that is only on Xbox One. It would suck if each platform would have their own exclusive superhero game. I have PS4 but I wish Spider-Man would be released on Xbox too.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Spider-Man being in ps4 only has to be somewhat related to Sony/Marvel's relationship. Whereas that doesn't exist with other characters.

 

[Spidey_62]

That's cool it's getting a tie-in novel, Marvel just announced a Thanos prequel novel yesterday for Infinity War too. Personally was hoping we'd get a comic tie-in.

Edit: Echo is a random Daredevil character to have in there. Blood-Spider could probably be there because Taskmaster is in the game.

 

[First Avenger]

Per Insomniac there is no connection. They started working on it before the Sony-Marvel deal, and Marvel asked Insomniac what character they'd like to tackle and they chose Spidey.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I wonder if they chose say black panther, would it still be a ps4 exclusive.
