What is your honest thoughts on this new update? 👀
i really wanted a black tas suit but still a good update
I really want that!@@anml9962
@L321 The update, is a bit of a let down tbh.
Disappointment, especially after 4 months
No multiplayer or double jumping feature so it's safe to say it sucks.
Who else expected more from this update?
Honestly i simply expected the features that were missing to be added, we’re still missing character descriptions, replayable podcasts, changing weather, and other things.
@@randomname5646there's another patch coming
Who else expected this to be in the game at launch?
me, but i love it
@@bartholomew1096is that confirmed?
Most interesting thing about this update is the left over dev menu they accidentally left in
Just seen this, crazy stuff!
where ?
@@meowijuana710 touchpad+menu button allows u to access the debug/dev menu
So that's what that thing I triggered is!!! Edit: it looked similar to "stats for nerds" on TH-cam, or the safe mode for the Playstation where you can rebuild database
If people didn’t know, if you press the touch pad and start at the same time it opens a debug menu they forgot to remove in the update
Yeah I’ve seen this, believe they are patching this asap
Everything this update should’ve been is what we got plus:
-more tendril colours (like red for example)
-ability to swap between spider arms and tendrils during traversal (L1 + triangle/X) & while parrying
-more weather options besides overcast
-higher difficulty option for NG+
-A few more added abilities/skills like we got in Miles Morales
-Maybe 1 or 2 new gadgets to choose from after reaching the required ultimate lvl
-1 or 2 new crimes scenarios you can encounter in the open world post game completion
-1 or 2 new sides missions segueing into the 1st dlc we’ll be getting at a later date
Considering it took them almost 5 months to deliver this relatively simple update for a modern AAA game, I think all these added features could’ve been implemented alongside what we got
You read my mind. I have a new video coming soon with features I wanted. And you mentioned some in your comment 👀
I would’ve liked to see weather options like:
-Light rain
-Thunderstorms
-Light snow
-Snowstorms
-Windy
-Sandy terrain (like it was after the first mission against Sandman)
-Dense fog
-Symbiotic terrain (like it was after Venom was taking over NYC)
All whilst having the ability to choose what time of day it is during these weather phenomenas
@@L321 Awesome! I really do hope they add some of these in a future update. The ones id really want to see is: more weather options, swapping between spider arms & tendrils, more tendril colours, and a higher difficulty for ng+. If that’s all they add, it would go an extremely long way for replay ability!
I mean 5 months for a ps5 game that looks this good to get this many changed to the actual game is real quick. Having to change every scene to fit the suit your wearing and tendril color is insane to me. The people at insomiac must be working there asses off (not to mention the upcoming wolverine game they have to work on)
@@TheoneShadow2728 it’s not every single cutscene but the majority. Ur points are definitely fair, but they most likely had them done a while ago and took these 5 months to polish everything. Not every cutscene was suit locked when sm2 launched either. Also, not every scene has the white tendril colours when you have that option enabled. Most of them are actually still black during the black suit portion of the game and having it switch between the 2 looks inconsistent at times. I completely agree that the game looks phenomenal, but it’s been in the works for 5 years with Manhattan’s section of the map being reused assets from the first and second entry. All in all, they did a great job with this update, but you can’t deny that the majority of these features should’ve already been in the game at launch and that some of these additional features I mentioned should’ve been added in this update. I’m not complaining since they did get hacked, but I’m hopeful they’ll be adding these missing features at a later update
They need to fix parry animation with non symbiote suit he needs to use his arms
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!
And the symbiote surge.
When i Heard about the Golden Gadgets i was so hyped. I thought It would maybe boost the stats of the web shooters, making them more powerful, with more shots in It, or maybe unlock the Gadgets from the First game, instead, the gadget turns Yellow and shoots Golden squares with a Spark, a feature nobody asked for. If you Approach a crime in Stealth, Spider-Man shouts, he has no quite dialogue to stay undetected, which breaks the immersion, Also you save the same old guy with headphones.
The update is nice, already started my new game plus its fun being op and having suit options and such. Looking forward to the next patch
By the time this update came out I'd lost interest in the game tbh - a lot of the feeling of sparseness and having nothing to do when you're finished the story mode is still there (and this wasn't a problem in the first game which had all the enemy bases at launch). I also think purely from a story perspective the Anti-Venom idea being a seemingly permanent feature is a huge mistake creatively - it dilutes the whole point of Peter overcoming the symbiote and on a superficial level it just changes the whole powerset of Spider-Man too much...his primary abilities now have nothing to do with spiders!
Interested to see what DLC Insomniac come out with but generally speaking Spider-Man 2 is the weakest of the three games.
Gameplay is so good that ive already played and beaten it twice - just adds at least one or 2 more for me lol.
I do wish there was a harder difficulty mode tbh or that enemies scaled even more in subsequent plays
They’re calling color schemes costumes
People were excited for that multiplayer leak but have no idea they’d be paying for all outfits just to swing around with your friends and do nothing all game
I'm pleasantly suprised by this update because i was expecting the bare minimum but they threw in a few extra features to make it a little sweeter
Literally this whole update is the bare minimum
@fantapro23 yeah I don't understand, this is literally the bare minimum of what's expected at launch or at least 1 month or 2 after. I feel like people are way too forgiving in this generation, plus there wasn't even atleasgva mention of dlc, even though it all got leaked
@fantapro23 no the bare minimum would be to add new game plus and mission replay and call it a day but they added a bunch of extra features that people wanted like touching up the raimi suit and adding ultimate levels and extra unlocks for ng+ that the other games never even had. Plus, they are still actively relaying things to their dev team that people are listing. I won't blame Insomniac for Sony rushing them they are trying to undo some of the damage done by Sony here. I bet in a year from now, this game will have a ton of features that weren't going to be in the game if it wasn't for people asking for them plus dlc mission packs
Thank you, I was just asking this.@@qadi796
@@BucketSoup2023things like golden gadgets are stupid. The only thing that matters is new game plus and mission select, things we should've got earlier.
We just waited 5 months for this 😂 Why did it take this long?
Not sure why it took so long tbf
Laziness
Hacking remember?
they got hacked multiple times@@L321
The insomniac hacking situation and the massive layoffs?
But now that I know that they didn’t add the new carnage,beetle,and spider verse DLCs I guess I’ll slow down a bit
If developers really cared they would iron out unpolished content, should not have to tell them
I love the fact that symbiote surge doesn’t change the suit. It makes Peter seem more in tune with the symbiote to the point it is part of him completely
That should have been a toggle , as if u wanted to leave it like that or get the surge come with a webbed suit or any symbiote suit instead of always just the anti venom
I don't agree with you there sorry. They need to install an option to choose between symbiote and anti venom when using abilities and that way the suits can automaclly be locked in and using the surge mode the black suit changes to the symbiote suit like in the first playthrough when we first get the black suit and beating the game before the update came out. Changing the tendril colors to black while still seeing anti venon abilities and not symbiote abilities and using rage mode doesn't change the black suit to the symbiote suitin the abilities menu is really annoying. I won't contue the game till they make a fix like this. :(
i would prefer a toggle since i personally hate that because the point of the symbiote surge (at least when hes black) is that he is getting taken over and that was the part i was most excited about
@@I_Am_RYU I agree let’s hope they fix it so we can enjoy using the venom abilities with surge rage in the symbiote suit whenever we want if we choose it on 😊
Play Spiderman 3 or wos for good symbiote gameplay and not this laziness
When I first played the game upon release, I was having the best time of my life for those two weeks it dropped. 100% it twice in less than 28 hours. After that, there was nothing left to do. Like genuinely nothing so I uninstalled and moved on. This update should’ve happened a lot sooner and in my opinion, it’s not worth a reinstall. If they added DLC story missions and more new content, it would’ve been worth getting back into the game but other than that, just a long waited quality of life update that took way too long
Tbh, with all the money behind Sony, Insomniac can’t afford to implement a dynamic day/night weather cycle?
Spider-Man 2 on PS2 had one👀
Why not let us customize if we want or not to transform when we activate the surge mode?
That would be cool
Fr
I think when they made it possible to use the Venom Symbiote once more they should make Peter's dialogue aggressive like before.
That would be very cool
Buddy, tendrils color switch, a few new suits, a newgame+ and a FREAKIN RAIMI SUIT REMAKE!?!? i am sorry but thats all i ever needed.. i dont care bro this update is all i needed.
Yessir! I Agree
Extra story content and more side missions should have been added. This update seems very basic for me to go back.
Was hoping for more random crimes at the very least!
I mean this update was for popular features that was not one of them
@@PeppasteppadChanging the parrying to iron arms was also a popular feature and yet??
They will add it later. Its called DLC, if you didnt know.
@@stainless5708 They might add it in 2025 or never💀
I’m grateful to just have gotten anything at all especially when fixing and updating the ASM2 suit and getting a game entirely I didn’t expect anything more but a few new changes nothing big it’s been 5 months give them time for the dlc no one has patience no one knows what they are dealing with at the studio . I’m glad to have a ngp until then I’m patient to see what will be in store for the dlc rather then keep rushing them if you aren’t a game developer how could you possibly understand not every game studio can be fast as others especially when you know you can’t please everyone or what needs to be done to while at the studio give the devs some appreciation at least that we got a sequel and getting another at that
Just wanted to say they would have released it sooner but there company got hacked so it’s not really insomniac’s fault
these things should have been in the game to begin with the hacking thing is irrelevant they should have added this WAY before all the hacking stuff happened
@@oneautumnleaf2622 no it isnt as the hackers had made insomniac lose billions and they had to drop empolyees causing it to be pro longed so cut them some slack
@@oneautumnleaf2622 Sony rushed them to release the game so they didn’t have time to add them
@@HuntersBlueMonkeys company's always rush there devs that's not a valid excuse
@@oneautumnleaf2622 that is a valid excuse Sony was only publishing the game and didn’t give insomniac the time to finish the game its there fault then with all the hacking they had to publish it in march I don’t think you understand how hard it is to make a game with the publisher forcing you to release early
They need to add an option to choose between Symbiote and Anti Venom for abilities so when we do it automatically locks the suit with the surge rage because when we change the tendril colors after getting the black suit it still shows anti venom abilities and not symbiote abilities. Also when in surge mode the black suit doesnt change to the symbiote suit like before the update came out we always change into anti venom surge. This has to get fixed asap it's really ruining my gameplay unfortunately!
Idk they took forever to release this when I was at peak interest dying for a ng+ now I’m already moved on waiting for dlc
I noticed mine is glitching and there's still bugs in the game while playing around the city fighting crime
Yep
Using the superior spider suit with tendril parry just doesn’t sit right with me and that’s my favorite suit 🤦🏽♂️
I get what u mean
Finally we can choose the color of symbiot tendrils
Ngl the update is great but if we take into account that we had to wait 5 months for this it just isn’t worth all that
Facts to be honest
@@L321like fr I get people like to glaze and shit but if ima keep it a buck they were just being lazy and that’s a common trend nowadays everyone’s been getting lazy when it comes to everything
They want all that money and little to know work love this game with passion but treating the fan base shitty won’t win you any medals look what’s happening to gta online because of it insomniac should be really careful to not go down that route
@@vivaraulitothank you bro. Everybody glazing and giving them excuses. It should not have taken this long, and why not have new game plus available at launch is prob the most annoying. You know that a feature everyone wanted so why make us wait 5 months. I’d give it a month or 2 but 5 is ridiculous.. even for the little minor additions like the symbiote color, and the changing of day and night.. it’s insane
You cant parry using the spiderarms in NG+ which is frustrating. Feels weird parrying with tendrils before Peter gets the symbiote. Has anyone else noticed this?
Yeah its rly annoying and needs to be fixed quickly
@@Lux15672 likely it’s an oversight, just like the previous tendril-colourgate issue. Still though…
Oh damn. This sucks
It’s equally as frustrating as when the tendrils were white playing as symbiote spidey haha ffs 🤦♂️
Why do people prefer the spider arms parry animation? I find the symbiote parry animation better.
This update is a good one. But tell me WHY does Surge Mode work how it's supposed to with the Tendril colors change but NG+ Surge Mode isn't transforming me into the respective Symbiote or Anti-Venom suit? That was a massive L for this update tbh.
Yea this is what stopped me dead In my tracks from completing ng+.
It even like that when harry transfer the symbiote to peter. The cut scene is ruined
@@Youngcb17 you talking about the cutscene where he tears off the Symbiote right? That one was ruined for me. Plus the one with the arms vs Sandman are the white and blue no matter what suit you have on. Also the Anti-Venom Tendrils come out when Peter is trying to hold Venom using the church as an anchor. They really dropped the ball. The Symbiote storyline is my favorite Spider-Man story and they ruined it. They ruined it and I'm leaving. It was good until the 3rd act. It all happens so fast.
can’t believe it took this long for basic things that are there for launch
Tbf, they were hacked around the time of launch
@thefoxygamer1536 plus they have to re work the whole wolverine game and are making dlc and will probably have more updates
I actually rly appreciate the hellfire gala suits. Anything x-men related makes me happy
Glad you like them man, personally hate them
The fact that we STILL have no story DLC is just CRIMINAL
I agree
Replaying the game is really fun and I’m just speedrunning it rn lol
they could add more stuff from first game like Adding more health and damage after reaching max lvl you gain health+1 and +1'damage ?
4:08
Looks the bollocks? Twatting up enemies? Lovely. 💀
Gamers: When are we getting SM 2? it's been years
Insomniac: Here it is. Now shut up and play
Gamers: Thank the lord.
Few months later,
Gamers: Where's NG+?
Insomniac: Here it is. Now shut up and play
Gamers: Thank the lord.
Next up, Where's the DLC?
thing is that they didn't include this from the first because they wanted to keep the players busy while they can focus on the next actual UPDATES (such as DLC) and other games. TBH, this update is nothing extraordinary, you can easily enjoy the game even without it. Modders already make new skins and suits for games nowadays.
So, the other suits have to be paid for. I think you misunderstood. I don’t think I’ll be playing it through again. All of this is nice, but honestly it all should have been there for the jump
It fixed 99% issues i had with the game. So yeah it's definitly worth it.
Yes son!
Ayyy
Imagine free roam venom was a reward for completing new game plus
I still haven't even played the game yet, I'm waiting patiently for it to go on sale.
Fairs man, surely it’s cheap to buy now?
Something I have to say is that insomniac makes fucking ass lenses for the suits like for the tasm-2 suit and the tasm-1 and the iron spider mcu it’s fucking ass.
Legit, not many people talk about this. The lenses on the TASM2 suit are way thicker than they should be and they genuinely look like the Ultimate Spider-Man lenses. The iron spider lenses are just...wtf.
Modders will always do a better job with this though, as they have all the time in the world to edit suits. But I do agree
I do agree idk why they changed the MCU iron spider suit lenses it was perfect In the first game they should've improve on the colors and yes the tasm 2 lenses needs to be changed
Why do they keep putting miles with these wack-ass suits, bro? 😂
Ikr! That one you get at the end of the game was also DUTTY
Fr fr we gotta push for A venom playable option now
And a switch to venom from spider man option like ultimate come on guys let’s flood insomnia for this
It will be DLC I reckon. Really hope we don’t have to wait too long
For me it’s worth it but sololy due to the fix to the Sam Raimi suit
It’s a great change
Thank you for not just bum licking this game like all the other TH-camrs. And actually stating facts ❤
Literally every youtuber I see meatrides Spider-Man 2
Ag jeez, what a no-brainer. We already have the game, so OF COURSE its worth playing NG+. The timing is also SPOT ON, way better than replaying it straight away. What a stupid question.
Honestly no, the update is not worth another whole playthrough, and it was not worth the 6 month wait. A month or 2, yes, 6 months no. I put it down and honestly. It’s not that hype anymore, not after 6 months. In all honestly, with what they added, the game STILL lacks endgame content, the content in the first game was much better and longer lastly. At least at the end of the first game, you had prisoners bases and saber bases with WAVES. In this game, the bases doesn’t have any waves. Plus on top of all that, I’m playing Helldivers and FF7.. Then at the end of March we have Dragon Dogmas 2 and Rise of Ronin, gonna be spending time playing those instead of playing this.. once again if it was added sooner, then yeah, this long, nah. Abs once again, the miles suits are no bueno
I haven't watched a video from lucozade321 in a while. Do you still do rgh j-tags xbox 360 modded stuff or is that to far in the past that we don't talk about it anymore?
yea bc the game itself is just fun honestly
For how long we had to wait the update is kinda underwhelming.
It's underwhelming and disappointing. At this point I just want to laugh, I uninstalled this game.
The amount of people complaining baffles me. Like yes, we should've gotten all of this at launch, but we're still getting it. Like you're still getting what you payed for, you just have to be patient with it.
Like dawg, they're still adding shit (shit that you wanted), and you're still complaining. Like just be grateful you're even getting these updates at all.
Your opinion is retarded
Can you replay bases and hideouts??
No
@@fantapro23 actually think you can just need to beat them all 1st saw it in a video
@@cody1016 Ive beat them long ago and could not replay them
@@fantapro23 thats bc long ago you couldn't and wasn't a thing ....with yesterday's update now looks like you can
@@cody1016 Where's the link to the video?
Why you didnt talk about the symbyot recolours ?
They got hacked that's why it took so damn long
Should've been ready on day one. Well before the hack.
@@kieferrea4819 I mean yea when I played the game it looked so under polished(story wise) I guess they couldn't properly meet the deadline and hence had to cut corners(also there previous titles didn't have NG+ day one so can forgive them on that)
@@TheSurvivalist-to3jb Yeah Ik , am not saying it's their fault but it would have been so cool to see what they could have done if it wasn't rushed still good game overall.
@@samarthbhati4722 It's true that the first game didn't have NG+ on launch, but MM absolutely did. It's frustrating to see such a sharp drop in standards with SM2, missing so many features that MM had from day one.
@@43quin And I agree with you but you have to agree that MM was a shorter game and hence it gave them time to focus on more features while SM2 was rushed because of them taking on so much story-wise that they couldn't polish it that much.
Made comment on reddit about this
Downvoted into oblivion.
I guess people just don't like receiving criticism
It's probably the Sweet Baby Inc supporters
To be honest they kinda dropped the ball with updates for this game. 06 months for literally just old features, from previous games, with nothing new, while still missing features from previous games is really just lmao. Additionally, 06 months, without any new suits man. Miles's new suit is A$$, paid suits are A$$. Why are they so persist on adding A$$ suits, instead of comic book suits, or just any good looking suits in general - Future Foudantion, Scarlet Spider 2, Stealth big time.... They just recolor symbiote suits, and yet they dont even change the tendril color to match their new color, and it aint much, literally just an additional Red color. Where is the option to have Spider Arms parry - something that already is in the game ? What is up with the back of the belt part of Iron Spider Armour suits with light peeks out of his A$$ ? Like bruh...
At this point of time in SM1 , we already have at least 6 new suits, with 2 DLCs out....
If it has no more cutscenes,then maybe.
I like the raimi suit upgrade
The update is cool, but after playing it so much in the months prior, I got bored quickly.
Big shame!
Do you really think (believe) they will add venom dlc where you can actually free roam as venom?
I really hope so man! The mechanics have already been developed so it wouldn’t be a massive amount of work to add it in. Plus it would sell like hell!
They wont
They will trust because if they end up updating with this many complaints they will with the venom free roam just gotta get more people to complain and it will happen
I like the new mils suit i think it looks cool
Personal preference. Glad you like it man
Can i play without the symbiont suit the entire game?
Hey L321 have you ever played The Last of us
Amazing game 😮😮
Yes! What a game that is!
What does the "golden gadget style" even add? All I can see are annoying golden particles.
And that’s it, it’s just stupid. It doesn’t even change the look of the shooters in game. It just some childish gold particles
@@rahmellbrown162 So the update added basically nothing (nothing that shouldn't have been in the game on launch, that is), man, that's sad.
Miles hellfire galla suit is worse Than the “Miles morales origional”
This game is a waste of money. Insomniac is lazy af and has no creativity. 5 months of sitting on their asses all day hyping up bullshit that should have been there day 1. They don’t give af about their fanbase.
spider man 2 isn’t worth it lol
it is
@@StaticcuzynotIt's not
Agreed, waste of my money
Biggest letdown this year.
@@fantapro23 well for you its not and i respect your opinion
Basic update. The story was so good but it’s boring now. Played it so many times. This update needed a dlc.
they already patched the dev tools 💀
and I already made a short on it! damn it
@@L321 yeah I was mad too didn't even get to test it out
This maybe a minor problem but i don't like the way Peter act all friendly when you have the black suit on. I want him to act all bloodlusted when you have the black suit on. It was awesome detail they added during the story.
I thought about the same thing honestly that would be incredible
Bit of a lackluster update, ngl!
3:54 4:14 God your hilarious mate 😅
Simply put No there are plenty of other games you can play. They messed up the update something awful too many bugs and glitchs
No because ultimate levels take waaaayyyyy too much xp to get
took this long for weather change really?
Yes it is
Anybody's PS5 shutting off after this update?
The grind to get suit styles is horrible
It's not too painful compared to other grinds in other games tbf
Do the xp glitch it only takes two hours
But I feel like they should let you get city tokens and hero tokens every time you replay the missions so you don’t have to do a third play through of another new game plus
This dude is complaining like insomniac DIDNT get hacked.
No ,because the game is broken after the update . You can't complete the mission with Harry at school, try by yourself. Shitty update, shame Insomniac.
Haven’t got to that mission yet luckily
I just beat the game lol 😂 yesterday
You got to remember they were dealing with the hacks which sliwed down the release of this update
Short answer: No
It was
Obviously
Same story only different costumes
Overall Spider-Man 2 is a big disappointment
Nah still keeping it uninstalled
Spider-Meh 2
tbh, no
no
Bri ish
this game is so dead
How can a single player game be dead

Best Spiderman yet
