Insomniac finally revealed the first gameplay trailer for Spider-Man 2. The 12-minute clip previewed many of the new changes coming to Spider-Man 2, as well as some important new plot details. Without further ado, let’s start by diving into all the big new details we learned from the latest Spider-Man 2 trailer.
Peter Parker gets the Symbiote suit
From the very first moments, Insomniac confirms that Peter Parker will be getting a symbiote suit. And while we’ll talk about his new powers in a moment, this turn of events raises some interesting questions, especially considering the ending of the first Spider-Man game.
The detection takes place after an end badge appears Marvel’s Spider-Man Harry Osborn, Peter Parker’s best friend, is sick and fused with the Venom symbiote. He is last seen floating in a green symbiote-covered tank while preparing Norman Osborn’s father (aka the… Green Goblin) to find a way to treat it.
This, of course, suggests that Harry Osborn, and not Eddie Brock, will be the Venom that Peter Parker and Miles Morales face in the game’s first trailer. Spider-Man 2. And at some point Peter will probably take the symbiote from Harry. This may be why Harry’s life is in danger during this show and why Peter and Miles have to save Curt Connors (Lizard) to save the weak Osborn.
With great powers…
Peter getting the symbiote suit means he’ll get some new powers, which are showcased extensively in the new trailer. While confronting Carvin’s henchmen (Kraven), Spider-Man is able to extend his reach and slam enemies against walls with his symbiote. He is also able to use the symbiote to launch multiple tentacles at enemies.
These tentacles can also be used to protect Peter from attacks and block enemy strikes. And last but not least, he can use his new arms to grab multiple enemies at once and slam them into the ground, causing him to take down groups of enemies at once.
Kraven hunting begins
A back story is revealed Kraven the Hunter In the new demo of the game Spider-Man 2 And it’s not too different from his origin story in the comics. Carvin is a rich guy who loves to fish, and this version of him seems to hunt people as a recreational sport. But tired of his current prey, his men suggest he go to Manhattan where he can hunt Spider-Man and other supervillains in New York City. Like we said, this story isn’t the same as his story in the comics, but when the formula works, there’s no need to change it.
Kraven targets
Speaking of New York prey, it looks like Spider-Man isn’t the only one Carvin is looking forward to hunting down. When viewing a list of potential targets in Manhattan, the list includes Black Cat And Prowler And Wraith And Tombstone And taskmaster And Miles Morales. Later in the show, we see Carvin stalking Curt Connors, aka The lizard. Thus, it seems that Carven is hunting not only Spider-Man but every superhero, be it an ally or an enemy of Peter Parker.
Double play
Will Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 star Peter alone like the first game, or will it continue the adventures of Miles? The answer is yes to both. As Insomniac confirmed that although there is no cooperative gameplay in the game, players will be able to switch between Peter and Miles during certain sections of the game.
As we saw in the gameplay demo, Peter realizes he’s too far from Lizard’s place to help him escape from Carvin’s men, but Miles is nearby and players can switch to Miles and head towards the dock before Peter arrives. This also brings up some interesting story possibilities that we’ll delve into in a bit.
The new suit gives you wings
Speaking of teaming up with Miles Morales, it looks like he’ll be getting some new abilities in the game Spider-Man 2. In addition to his upgraded suit with wings that allow him to glide across the New York sky (confirmed Insomniac (Both Spider-Man characters will get wingsuits), looks like he’s mastered some new abilities with his Venom ability, and this ability looks a lot like Onslaught. Kamehameha for goku in dragon ball.
Once Miles enters the warehouse, we see him show off some new stealth abilities as well, including the ability to throw a rope through walls and walk over them to sneak up on enemies.
New York City is bigger
New York City will be a bit bigger this time around as Queens has been added as one of the new boroughs that will be explorable in the game. Previously only Manhattan was available, but Insomniac is teasing several new areas in the new installment, including Brooklyn across the river. What is the size of this city?
What’s going on with Harry?
Peter says in the show that only Lizard can save Harry Osborn. We know Harry is in bad shape after we last saw him covered in a symbiote. But since Peter apparently gets the symbiote, then what is going on with Harry Osborn? This seems to be the central plot in the game that will most likely tie Venom, Peter Parker, and Miles Morales together.
Possible confrontation?
At the end of the show, we see that Miles and his best friend Ganky are clearly worried about Peter, who is acting more and more aggressive because of the symbiote suit. And now that it has been confirmed that we can play with both characters in Spider-Man 2There is a possibility that players will have to play with Miles to try and stop Peter from falling further and further to the dark side. Can you imagine the strange conversation they will have next?
