Bryan couldn't stop smiling while talking about the game. You can tell he is very passionate and proud of the franchise and universe that insomniac has created, as he should be.
He doesn't even care about making these games unless MJ is playable. He said that. He has passion, but it sure as heck isn't for Spider-Man. I just hope they don't let him too far off his leash going forward.
I'm glad they brought Martin Lee back into Miles' story. I always felt like his story didn't have a proper conclusion once Otto took centre stage. The 'Friendly Neighborhood' side missions were such a sweet addition. It shows Spider-man doesn't just beat up bad guys. He helps however he can.
the expectation for this game was over the moon. Agent Venom, Anti-Venom, Miles New Dope Abilities, Base Suits We Wanted, Spider-Verse, Carnage, Venom With Wings, Story Was Just Peak. GOTY
That was such a good interview with the creative director. It honestly felt like a genuine conversation explaining how Insomniac thinks when they approach these games. He seems like such a nice guy who cares deeply about Marvel and the lore behind everything they include in their stories. Love it!
This games story was so good. I really recommend replaying it because there are so many subtle moments. Harry worrying about being replaced fueling venom. Not just the scene with Peter and Norman but in the tombstone mission even though harry knows who miles is he just says “the other guy” when talking about the team name miles and Peter have and harry tries to create a name. He knows Peter is hesitant dedicate to the foundation because he’s a mentor to miles. Noticing the development of that story adds a lot to venom and the final fight with venom and miles
At some point, Harry even called Miles while swinging to try and establish a hint of friendship between the two. it's a shame they didn't find a way to incorporate more of that to make the final fight between Miles and Venom more impactful. I also thought it would've been cool if the symbiote called itself Venom because of Miles' powers just because it was such a powerful ability.
Those interactions between the characters are amazing but i feel like the game could have a bit more of story to develop better that final plot. Symbiote spiderman arc felt rushed
The final fight should not have been between Miles and Venom. Miles and Harry had one conversation before that in the whole game! They have no connection, it just makes Peter look weak and takes away from his connection to have the final fight against HIS enemy, an enemy who is both the symbiote which took him over and has control over his best friend, be beaten by the player as Miles who has NOTHING to do with Venom. Peter has been taking Ls all game and having Miles show him up AGAIN just makes Peter look weak.
this is my first time watching an interview with a creative director from a game i think, and honestly i don’t know why i haven’t done it before. this interview was a delight to watch, and i think it’s incredibly validating to see that the people behind the game are just as excited about it as the players, and they also geek out about the lore and characters. bryan seems like such a cool dude to just hang out with too. love the he gave credit to his team and colleagues, holding them in such high esteem. thank you for this video!
I could listen to Bryan talk about this universe for hours. It's so interesting hearing different behind the scenes tidbits and stories from the director.
they’re HEAVILY relying on DLC. that has to be the conclusion cause there’s not a single person that’s played it that is either a fan of it or not that doesn’t say it feels empty. even if you leave a lot of the nests and side quests unchecked it still feels oddly abrupt.
@@radicallybeani agree, I didn’t really pay no mind to the first games DLC, the main game had so much to offer and was completely satisfying but that cost me some minor story understanding for this game but this story felt way too short which leaves room for more to be desired, and the side quests aren’t even completely visible without swinging through every nook and cranny, they should’ve added a way to completely pinpoint each side event in each district, that would’ve given players a scope of how much content is present during and after the main story.
It felt as empty as that old man’s inhaler that you helped in the park because he lost it and he also got lost kind of and his grandkid or something was worried about him but soiderman was there to save the day and that was so satisfying because we all can relate to missing medication 💊
Miles evolved venom was a great way to introduce the transformative nature of Me Negatives power. All the shifts in the game felt so well foreshadowed there were awesome reveals but nothing felt like it was shocking or out of place given the rules and details I was told. Just so fantastic
the evolved venom wasnt li. li himself said he didnt give those powers to miles. yal forget that miles absorbed like 13 nukes in his game right? lol newform probably changed his power up, the emotions from li brought it out, but thats most llkely what evolved it all
Knowing how Mr. Negative + the symbiote + Miles all culminated together in retrospect to make the Anti-Venom suit is so cool! Especially given how the Anti-Ock suit was the suit Spider-Man donned for the final boss fight in the first game. It's all so clever!
The insomniac team are the only writers recently that have been able to successfully tell very human stories through a super human lens. It's so cool how they can take characters with unrelatable powers, yet make them feel relatable by not focusing on those powers, but rather on their internal struggles, which are then expressed outwardly through fantastical elements. The Scream fight represents this perfectly: MJ is angry, resentful and hurt. Up until that point she had been bottling all of those feelings up, but by becoming scream, she was able to express all her most destructive emotions, which manifested themselves in a literal monster! That's the kind of storytelling that's compelling! Our heroes aren't just fighting literal monsters, they're fighting monsters, which are physical manifestations of their own internal human struggles! Other superhero media seems to have forgotten this, as all they focus on is the spectacle, but they leave out all substance! I'm glad Insomniac remembers how to write GOOD superhero stories!
Your post is right on the money! I just said something similar on another forum. It's a breath of fresh air to see adaptations that understand the universe, characters, and can make compelling stories that are relatable and grounded with very real human emotions. I won't say more, because you honestly said it perfectly. It is the truth though and more creators need to take note. At this point, I'd rather they not even make superhero movies if they are going to continue down the path they have. They are definitely watered down and simplified beyond redemption at this point. They aren't doing anything except hurting cinema in general at this point, let alone the source material of the comics and superheroes. Sounds means what I've said, but I would just prefer creators take the the source material seriously. Some people have a very soft spot for comics and superheroes, and we don't want to see them trivialized and watered down. We want the heart and emotion they bring with them as well. Not just the spectacle like you said.
Nah fr, especially if Norman is to turn to the goblin and finally, officially bring the sinsister six? There's no way Miles handle that on his own even in 616 comics Peter struggles. Like sometimes, Spider-Man really is a two person job if you can have it. The way I see it is he's gonna hold own to his job and focus there more and come by when either miles needs it or "by force" come through.
@@MrInstinctGamer exactly, I’m a Peter Parker main also and in this story it was soo good for me to see both these arcs that Peter and miles had. The Peter Parker only fans are just mad that Peter received help from miles, the guy that he literally trained, and I think they also are mad because miles is now officially coming into his own. It’s ridiculous
I honestly just wish there was more side missions! Cassidy and the Flame was super cool and all... Just was hoping for some c/b list bad dudes causing random crimes. Like I dunno- Friggin Big-Wheel and the Trapster or something just fun and semi quick to beat up. Also really surprised we still haven't had ANY Marvel Cameos outside of Spider-Man tbh
I agree with not having as many villains to fight. Especially after battling the sinister six in the first game. But about the cameos: I'm actually super impressed and happy with how they made such a good game with a well written story without relying on all these cameos and fan service
@zaphenathgarcia Still surprised Wolverine didn't show up. They are making a Wolverine game and everything. Even in Web Of Shadows and Ultimate Spider-Man had Wolverine in it. And those games both inspired this story, so just very surprising to me. (Also 22 likes. That's neat)
All 3 games are amazing and i can't wait to see what they do with part 3 and what they can do with wolverine... i would go a little farther and want them to take over the future marvel games 🎮
Thoroughly enjoyed that chat. Really nice to see how much passion Bryan and his team obviously had. I'm a lifelong Spidey fan, and loved how they managed to walk the line of paying great fan service but also subverting expectations at the same time. Top notch.
playing with venom was the by far the best choice insomniac could've made, i can really see how they bought amazing elements from other great games i personally loved like Ultimate Spider-Man with playable Venom, Spider-Man Web of Shadows for the Symbiote infection in New York
I love how Kraven wasn’t shown much in the game, but he was so menacing when he did, that he just became this boogeyman, this ominous presence. And at the same time, you understand his motivations. Don’t agree with it, but you understand it and it fits the character perfectly. What a masterpiece of a game 👌🏽
The thinking from scratch, coming with derived solution from pre-existing literature, there's no doubt the really were thoughtful while making theses games and it reflects that the plot is actually so much better than some movies even. They really took it to a whole 'nother level
Honestly you gotta remember game cinematics are generally like 20-40hours plus depending on the game, you could legit take this games story and make a small mini series out of it, not to mention there story telling is by far better then what the mcu has been pushing out besides Loki season 2 rn that show is fire
Imagine the hype when Miles is having his own start as Spiderman then Otto Octavius and Norman formed an alliance, Carnage is introduced, Black Cat Returns, Venom is now Eddie Brock, Green Goblin as Final boss fight, Peter definitely makes a return in which it's now more looking grim for Miles to take all the villain by himself and Norman wants both spider-men not just one. So Peter is taking a break but not retiring that's for sure. Spider-Man 3 will be much longer.
As a Spider-Man fan I gotta say the story for this game was on point just like the first two as a gamer playing as Peter Parker was a little slow going but over all perfection
Forgiveness is the most misunderstood concept. Miles says “I can’t forgive you” but then proceeds to forgive him. Forgiveness doesn’t mean saying something’s okay and forgetting about it. It means freeing yourself from the hatred and anger you feel towards someone who wronged you. That line bugs me.
THABK YOU BRYAN AND INSOMNIAC! This is one of the best video game I’ve ever played AND best Spider-Man stories I’ve ever seen! The game has honestly one of the best endings to both a video game and a Spider-Man story I’ve ever seen! The fight with Venom alone is incredibly tough and challenging, but you can absolutely feel the pain in Peter as he’s trying with every fiber of his being to reach Harry. What I really love though is that Peter has finally admitted to himself and MJ that he is *truly tired,* not just physically but spiritually and emotionally. As much as he likes being Spider-Man, he wants to finally put all of his focus on himself and MJ. And the way he told Miles was perfect, he’s absolutely confident that he trained his apprentice well enough that he can handle being the one and only Spider-Man. And in the final post credit scene when they introduced Cindy Moon aka Silk I jumped with joy. She is perfect for this game series!
You clearly didn't get the game, Peter's thing was that he didn't have balance He's not retiring or hanging up the suit at all. He takes a break at the end. Throughout the whole game, it's shown he was still taking most of the responsibility, the burden of it At the end, Peter decides to fully share the burden with Miles. Because Miles is capable and has become his own Spider-Man. Now they are truly equals
@@phantomzero1982 yeah what’s wrong with that? If they put them in Spider-Man 3 they could do those characters so much better justice instead of throwing them into a dlc that’ll only be like 5-10 hours long
Nope. 35 hours for me to platinum on hard mode is the sweet spot. You rather the game become Assassins Creed Origins with bloated, unnecessary filler content? Assassins Creed Origins was a great game, but it would have been boarder info on being a masterpiece if it had just cut back on the unnecessary extra bull$hit questlines.
@cbgg1585 I platinum the game in around 26hrs. I did the all the side content available before moving on to the next story mission. So by the time the credits rolled the only side missions I had was the seeds Harry left for Peter. I'm not saying the game should be 100 hour's long like Valhalla was but Ragnarök was like 50hrs including all the side content. I think that was the sweet spot.
@@cbgg1585Assassins Creed Origins is fantastic its Odyssey and especially Valhalla that's bloated. Valhalla I just couldn't stick with because of how long the story is and how much extra content there is. Odyssey I went for the platinum and got it in reasonable time, it's honestly my favorite game in the franchise. Spider-man 2 was almost perfect. The suit choices were lame, too many movie suits and guest created stuff, not enough comic suits oh and the lack of NG+ at launch.
@user-rk8sz6yi8u I know how people are. As someone who is fortunate to have been able to play The Forgotten Kingdom and Starfield now Spider-Man 2. I will say that without a shadow of a doubt, Spider-Man 2 is my GOTY. I just wish there was more. Like when you have a delicious pizza, but you're also sharing the pie, and you only eat 2 slices. Like you're satisfied with what you ate. You're not hungry anymore, but you wish you could've had another piece. Not a whole pie. Just one more delicious slice
@@cbgg1585 I was pretty happy about not having anymore side quests and that each of them had some worthwhile conclusion. I don't really need to fetch cats or do little errands for points.
New Game Plus is at the top of my list as well as the ability to change the Symbiote tendril colour, time of day, weather but also Symbiote city option. I would also love some DLC similar to The City That Never Sleeps DLC, an extra little story leading into either the next spinoff or sequel. After playing Spider-Man 2 Insomniac would be perfect for a Web of Shadows remake (with the ability to play as venom)
I like miles taking the mantle but making Pete a damsel for mj and miles to save several times wasn’t good. Miles doesn’t have to be great at Pete’s expense.
Thank you so much Bryan Intihar for making another phenomenal game. Can't wait for Marvel's Wolverine and Marvel's Spider Man 3. Keep it up Bryan Intihar. I love you ❤️
Small thing but I just rewatched Spider-Man 3 and one of my favorite things is that the symbiote isn’t permanently bonded. It turns into a suit Peter can take off and it just enhanced the addiction theme so well
Great interview things I'm excited about for the future games : The carnage stuff you can tell something HUGE definitely is happening. And for some reason, I feel like it's gonna be a massive story.. And then setting up green goblin. I've been waiting for this moment since the first game. Can't wait to see what's gonna happen in the future.
Spider-Man 3: Carnage, Green Goblin, plus a possible Red Goblin fusion, Silk/Cindy Moon, (love tangle with Miles?) a possible Venom return, Chameleon revenge tour, Dr. Strange/Wong tie in?, cameo heroes like Daredevil? Black Panther? Wolverine? So many possibilities….can’t wait
This game really blew me away with the story and the emotions especially with the miles vs Peter and venom talking about being jealous over miles and miles being jealous with Peter spending more time with Harry and mj and how she felt but it all was built up until venom let those emotions out
The pieces were put together was incredibly well done. The side missions, the characters had so much depth. The call back to other characters, suits and past games. Chef's kiss, even the multiverse nod im like how insane would it be if this was a set up for Spidergeddon storyline!
It's hilarious that Bryan comes onto all of these shows and is super open, like how is this even allowed? Not complaining. I love seeing him geek out about his team and the games.
They talk about Harry being Venom like it’s never been done before. It’s not a new idea. We pretty much all expected that after the end credit’s scene in the first game.
This game was simply incredible. The first game was insane and the story was so emotional but this game blew that one out of the water! One of the best games I've ever played and that ending was simply flawless. Now the agonizing 5+ year wait to see how the story concludes....ugh!!!
Thank you insomniac games. You took my favorite superhero ever and gave me arms of the best stories for him and the characters he is related to. In my opinion, I have loved all 3 games and felt so many emotions ij every single one. Thanks for pouring all your heart into this. Can't wait to see where you will take my heroes next ❤ ypu guys are true believers
Bryan's well spoken the whole time. As soon as he starts talking about Norman Osborn's trajectory he starts tripping over words and gets a bit stammery hahaha being careful what he says it seems 😉 (31:00)
I had such high expectations for this game. My god it was awesome I loved every minute of it. It was such a good game it’s worth every penny it is definitely in my top 5 games of all time
Insomniac, you guys nailed it I was a fan of the studio before Spiderman ps4 by playing games such as resistance and the ratchet and clank series was already a blast there is a bright future with this studio and all the marvel characters abroad such as wolverine,daredevil and Doctor strange .Insomniac has the potential to create a universe with amazing gameplay and storytelling that creates a love note for these loved characters .Keep going Bryan we all believe in the Insomniac teams talent and passion to these amazing characters
Video game writers aren't forced to set up five other sequels in three hours while advertising for ten products, actors physical limitations/contracts gauranteeing them specific screen time/availability etc. Video game writers can write anything they want to actually happen without limits of a physical world and real people. It's a completely different job.
I really greatly appreciate the portrayal and design of Venom in this game. I have yet to see either Venom movies with Tom Hardy because to me, that's not TRUE Venom. Venom shouldn't be "funny" or goofy. He's not an "anti hero" in the sense most people use that term. He's a TRUE ANTI hero, meaning he's a straight up, horrifying villain. He's a murderous alien who literally eats people and his motives and goals in this game are very clear and make sense on top of him being a blood thirsty rage monster. Couldn't have asked for a better Venom in a great Spidey game. Props to the whole team at Insomniac.
That's wild they didn't have this planned out from the beginning and just broad story beat. all the small details that made this story great worked so well and it just sort of "happened" lol. other studios wish they could tell a story half as good.
I hope to see Goblin, Carnage, Daredevil and lukecage in spiderman 3 fs. Bringing in the fantastic 4 or avengers is a nice idea to. Wolverine is a must at the post credit sceane atleast.
On a building in the top rop right corner of the Hell's Kitchen district there's a 4 in a circle half painted on the roof of that skyscraper. With the numbers 800 150 next to it.
Love this game and the story but I don’t really get the choice of having Miles fight Venom in the end. He has really no connection to Harry so it seemed kind of anticlimactic.
He is also spiderman. Trying to do the right thing. And Peter was hurt. It was fitting for him to help. Would you rather have him sit on the side lines eating popcorn?
@@thegamerword.9739 Did you play the game? Harry almost died and Peter was crying saying he couldn't lose him and Miles saved him as best as he could. And Peter tries to start the Emily May foundation again as a tribute to Harry and to the people he's lost.
Had so much hype for this game but unfortunately the 3rd act fell short even though I loved venom and the fact they took from cates run with the knull references and wings, anti venom ect.. it felt rushed and too short it needed to be longer and more time with venom as well as more time with Peter having the symbiote and the side missions were poor again. I think the game definitely needed to be longer the flesh out these things more as well as miles suit at the end being terrible and also the fact your forced to wear that suit and also base symbiote suit during missions instead of being able to wear different suits like raimi black suit during those missions also peter was really nerfed at times which was a disappointment
I wish I could have 20 minutes in a room with this guy. He seems so passionate both about these games and about his team. Getting to ask questions about characters and the direction insomniac is headed with them would be amazing.
You can tell he’s very excited to tell how it all came together because they made a very SOLID Spider-Man universe
That's what makes the best of development teams

Not just the spectacle like you said.
I cannot wait for Wolverine and the future of Spider-Man 2! This game was genuinely a masterpiece and a VERY worthy successor
Seeing cindy moon at the end like that was nice, SM 2 is a blast (amazing) loved everything about the game.
Nope. XD

I still have no idea why people think Peter is done being Spiderman it's a break
It’s because people are choosing to make fake narratives instead of actually paying attention to the story🤦🏾♂️
Nah fr, especially if Norman is to turn to the goblin and finally, officially bring the sinsister six? There's no way Miles handle that on his own even in 616 comics Peter struggles. Like sometimes, Spider-Man really is a two person job if you can have it. The way I see it is he's gonna hold own to his job and focus there more and come by when either miles needs it or "by force" come through.
@@MrInstinctGamer exactly, I’m a Peter Parker main also and in this story it was soo good for me to see both these arcs that Peter and miles had. The Peter Parker only fans are just mad that Peter received help from miles, the guy that he literally trained, and I think they also are mad because miles is now officially coming into his own. It’s ridiculous
I haven't heard/read anyone saying that they think that.
@@noellalexander9527I've seen too many people misinterpret the ending as Peter retiring and hating on Miles.
I'm so glad I watched this after finishing the game. You can see the passion in the game.
Bryan is the reason why this interpretation of Peter Parker was nearly perfection in all medias.
You sir are a real hero in my eyes, thank you for making my childhood dreams come true, these games are truly phenomenal
I honestly just wish there was more side missions! Cassidy and the Flame was super cool and all... Just was hoping for some c/b list bad dudes causing random crimes.
Like I dunno- Friggin Big-Wheel and the Trapster or something just fun and semi quick to beat up. Also really surprised we still haven't had ANY Marvel Cameos outside of Spider-Man tbh
I agree with not having as many villains to fight. Especially after battling the sinister six in the first game. But about the cameos: I'm actually super impressed and happy with how they made such a good game with a well written story without relying on all these cameos and fan service
@zaphenathgarcia Still surprised Wolverine didn't show up. They are making a Wolverine game and everything. Even in Web Of Shadows and Ultimate Spider-Man had Wolverine in it. And those games both inspired this story, so just very surprising to me.
(Also 22 likes. That's neat)
Did get a note from Wu saying the Doctor and him owed us one. That was pretty cool.
All 3 games are amazing and i can't wait to see what they do with part 3 and what they can do with wolverine... i would go a little farther and want them to take over the future marvel games 🎮
Superhero games period lol
I’d love for them to make more Infamous-like games Original super people and you choose your path to evil or good 🥹 but yeah more superhero games
@@AnonComic yeah that would be sick
@@AnonComicinfamous is rumored to make a comeback but the Studio that made infamous is SuckerPunch
@@sonuchiha4354suckerpunch actually did a really good job with the last infamous game(Second Son) so I think it would be good
When they freed tombstone I was shocked that venom could withstand fire and thought I misremembered that weakness lol
Thoroughly enjoyed that chat. Really nice to see how much passion Bryan and his team obviously had. I'm a lifelong Spidey fan, and loved how they managed to walk the line of paying great fan service but also subverting expectations at the same time. Top notch.
My hope is that they tie the Carnage and Green Goblin story into a Red Goblin story
playing with venom was the by far the best choice insomniac could've made, i can really see how they bought amazing elements from other great games i personally loved like Ultimate Spider-Man with playable Venom, Spider-Man Web of Shadows for the Symbiote infection in New York
I love how Kraven wasn’t shown much in the game, but he was so menacing when he did, that he just became this boogeyman, this ominous presence. And at the same time, you understand his motivations. Don’t agree with it, but you understand it and it fits the character perfectly.
What a masterpiece of a game 👌🏽
The thinking from scratch, coming with derived solution from pre-existing literature, there's no doubt the really were thoughtful while making theses games and it reflects that the plot is actually so much better than some movies even. They really took it to a whole 'nother level
Honestly you gotta remember game cinematics are generally like 20-40hours plus depending on the game, you could legit take this games story and make a small mini series out of it, not to mention there story telling is by far better then what the mcu has been pushing out besides Loki season 2 rn that show is fire
@@Thisguy2532 Bro you literally jus spoke my mind there.
The game was amazing. Hoping for the venom spin-off and wherever the story goes from here!
Nope. XD
Well carnage was teased it’s only right to have a venom spin off
The Venom symbiote was destroyed. How would they bring it back then?
There could still be part of it in him like how it was for Peter
@@carterhalo255Well it's Peter's property now. Besides it became Anti-Venom and pretty much bonded to him forever until the 3rd game.
That pigeon mission was phenominal.
Bryan Inithar famous now. Doning the Clark Kent attire to go undercover 🤣. Him and his team deserves all the success in the whole.
Imagine the hype when Miles is having his own start as Spiderman then Otto Octavius and Norman formed an alliance, Carnage is introduced, Black Cat Returns, Venom is now Eddie Brock, Green Goblin as Final boss fight, Peter definitely makes a return in which it's now more looking grim for Miles to take all the villain by himself and Norman wants both spider-men not just one. So Peter is taking a break but not retiring that's for sure. Spider-Man 3 will be much longer.
As a Spider-Man fan I gotta say the story for this game was on point just like the first two as a gamer playing as Peter Parker was a little slow going but over all perfection
Forgiveness is the most misunderstood concept. Miles says “I can’t forgive you” but then proceeds to forgive him. Forgiveness doesn’t mean saying something’s okay and forgetting about it. It means freeing yourself from the hatred and anger you feel towards someone who wronged you. That line bugs me.
THABK YOU BRYAN AND INSOMNIAC! This is one of the best video game I’ve ever played AND best Spider-Man stories I’ve ever seen!
The game has honestly one of the best endings to both a video game and a Spider-Man story I’ve ever seen! The fight with Venom alone is incredibly tough and challenging, but you can absolutely feel the pain in Peter as he’s trying with every fiber of his being to reach Harry.
What I really love though is that Peter has finally admitted to himself and MJ that he is *truly tired,* not just physically but spiritually and emotionally. As much as he likes being Spider-Man, he wants to finally put all of his focus on himself and MJ. And the way he told Miles was perfect, he’s absolutely confident that he trained his apprentice well enough that he can handle being the one and only Spider-Man.
And in the final post credit scene when they introduced Cindy Moon aka Silk I jumped with joy. She is perfect for this game series!
Insomniac is the best
"You got it, Spider-Man' was such an emotional line at the end.
You clearly didn't get the game, Peter's thing was that he didn't have balance
He's not retiring or hanging up the suit at all. He takes a break at the end. Throughout the whole game, it's shown he was still taking most of the responsibility, the burden of it
At the end, Peter decides to fully share the burden with Miles. Because Miles is capable and has become his own Spider-Man. Now they are truly equals
I agree. I found that development emotionally fulfilling.@@FatKratos69
“THABK YOU” 💀
I'm hoping for "New Game" plus soon and perhaps some new suits and DLC with Carnage!
New game plus is going to release sometimes in december. And based on the first game, there is going to be a season pass with 3 different dlc's,
@@shahrbanooShadpoorijust because there was dlc in the first game doesn’t mean there will be any in Spider-Man 2

@@phantomzero1982 yeah what’s wrong with that? If they put them in Spider-Man 3 they could do those characters so much better justice instead of throwing them into a dlc that’ll only be like 5-10 hours long
@@phantomzero1982 you act like if they did that it would be a bad thing
The only gripe i have against this game is I wish it had more. Great game. GOTY in my opinion.
Nope. 35 hours for me to platinum on hard mode is the sweet spot.
You rather the game become Assassins Creed Origins with bloated, unnecessary filler content? Assassins Creed Origins was a great game, but it would have been boarder info on being a masterpiece if it had just cut back on the unnecessary extra bull$hit questlines.
@cbgg1585 I platinum the game in around 26hrs. I did the all the side content available before moving on to the next story mission. So by the time the credits rolled the only side missions I had was the seeds Harry left for Peter. I'm not saying the game should be 100 hour's long like Valhalla was but Ragnarök was like 50hrs including all the side content. I think that was the sweet spot.
@@cbgg1585Assassins Creed Origins is fantastic its Odyssey and especially Valhalla that's bloated. Valhalla I just couldn't stick with because of how long the story is and how much extra content there is. Odyssey I went for the platinum and got it in reasonable time, it's honestly my favorite game in the franchise. Spider-man 2 was almost perfect. The suit choices were lame, too many movie suits and guest created stuff, not enough comic suits oh and the lack of NG+ at launch.
@user-rk8sz6yi8u I know how people are. As someone who is fortunate to have been able to play The Forgotten Kingdom and Starfield now Spider-Man 2. I will say that without a shadow of a doubt, Spider-Man 2 is my GOTY. I just wish there was more. Like when you have a delicious pizza, but you're also sharing the pie, and you only eat 2 slices. Like you're satisfied with what you ate. You're not hungry anymore, but you wish you could've had another piece. Not a whole pie. Just one more delicious slice
@@cbgg1585 I was pretty happy about not having anymore side quests and that each of them had some worthwhile conclusion. I don't really need to fetch cats or do little errands for points.
Its so good insomniac should make every marvel game. No other company should be able to take on any other marvel game.
Bring on Spider-Man 3 with green goblin, carnage and silk
This interview is gold
When venom started creating more symbiotes i automatically thought of the spiderman game on ps1/n64 where we were fighting the purple symbiotes
No one can control the symbiotes 😂
I live for these post-launch interviews!!
Thanks!
New Game Plus is at the top of my list as well as the ability to change the Symbiote tendril colour, time of day, weather but also Symbiote city option. I would also love some DLC similar to The City That Never Sleeps DLC, an extra little story leading into either the next spinoff or sequel. After playing Spider-Man 2 Insomniac would be perfect for a Web of Shadows remake (with the ability to play as venom)
Interviewers really dropped the ball on their questions. So many better questions they could have asked.
The Howard Moment was really touching. Sad to see the guy go, but it was quite the journey with him and his birds. Hope they're flying free.
I like miles taking the mantle but making Pete a damsel for mj and miles to save several times wasn’t good. Miles doesn’t have to be great at Pete’s expense.
I just love how every 3rd person I save has a boyfriend who just adores me.
Whoever approved that Miles end game suit should be demoted.
Totally agre, kinda ruined his last fight being distracted by its hideousness
Thank you so much Bryan Intihar for making another phenomenal game. Can't wait for Marvel's Wolverine and Marvel's Spider Man 3. Keep it up Bryan Intihar. I love you ❤️
I’m so glad we’ve got people who actually care in charge of this franchise
Small thing but I just rewatched Spider-Man 3 and one of my favorite things is that the symbiote isn’t permanently bonded. It turns into a suit Peter can take off and it just enhanced the addiction theme so well
Wdym? As far as I understand, he can make it look like he’s not wearing it, but he can’t unbond at will
Great interview things I'm excited about for the future games :
The carnage stuff you can tell something HUGE definitely is happening. And for some reason, I feel like it's gonna be a massive story..
And then setting up green goblin. I've been waiting for this moment since the first game. Can't wait to see what's gonna happen in the future.
Spider-Man 3: Carnage, Green Goblin, plus a possible Red Goblin fusion, Silk/Cindy Moon, (love tangle with Miles?) a possible Venom return, Chameleon revenge tour, Dr. Strange/Wong tie in?, cameo heroes like Daredevil? Black Panther? Wolverine? So many possibilities….can’t wait
I was expecting kraven to get venom since he also had an illness that the symbiote could exploit
This game really blew me away with the story and the emotions especially with the miles vs Peter and venom talking about being jealous over miles and miles being jealous with Peter spending more time with Harry and mj and how she felt but it all was built up until venom let those emotions out
“I didn’t want the internet talking about not playing [as] Venom”. Sheesh. We can be too harsh sometimes 😅
The pieces were put together was incredibly well done. The side missions, the characters had so much depth. The call back to other characters, suits and past games. Chef's kiss, even the multiverse nod im like how insane would it be if this was a set up for Spidergeddon storyline!
I loved the slice of life moments
Another thing about this game is that this is the first time we seen blood. First time someone bled in front of us
It's hilarious that Bryan comes onto all of these shows and is super open, like how is this even allowed? Not complaining. I love seeing him geek out about his team and the games.
I’m genuinely curious, this isn’t meant to come across as rude, but why would he not be allowed?
@@jdrn6275 some companies don’t want their staff spilling the beans and don’t allow them to go on press tours.

Scream definitely surprised me, and I enjoyed how it went from the Kravens last Hunt to Web of shadows
I very much enjoyed that twist too I'm like no way?!!
They talk about Harry being Venom like it’s never been done before. It’s not a new idea. We pretty much all expected that after the end credit’s scene in the first game.
Can't believe that person's wearing a HEALTH shirt in this interview
This was a great interview with the questions and how they communicated back and forth.
I can already imagine the spider man 3 cover being Peter, Miles and Cindy.
17:48 21:02 24:00 34:16 35:33
amazing interview, just got through the game. I want more now lol. Hoping we get DLC eventually.
This game was simply incredible. The first game was insane and the story was so emotional but this game blew that one out of the water! One of the best games I've ever played and that ending was simply flawless. Now the agonizing 5+ year wait to see how the story concludes....ugh!!!
Thank you insomniac games. You took my favorite superhero ever and gave me arms of the best stories for him and the characters he is related to. In my opinion, I have loved all 3 games and felt so many emotions ij every single one. Thanks for pouring all your heart into this.

Insomniac, you guys nailed it I was a fan of the studio before Spiderman ps4 by playing games such as resistance and the ratchet and clank series was already a blast there is a bright future with this studio and all the marvel characters abroad such as wolverine,daredevil and Doctor strange .Insomniac has the potential to create a universe with amazing gameplay and storytelling that creates a love note for these loved characters .Keep going Bryan we all believe in the Insomniac teams talent and passion to these amazing characters
This game continues to prove that video game writers are far better than movie writers.
current movie writers, industry is a mess at the moment
Video game writers aren't forced to set up five other sequels in three hours while advertising for ten products, actors physical limitations/contracts gauranteeing them specific screen time/availability etc. Video game writers can write anything they want to actually happen without limits of a physical world and real people. It's a completely different job.
We want to deliver pizzas in Spider-Man 3 please Insomniac 🙏🙏
I wish they would do this with technical directors more that would be fun to listen to
I really greatly appreciate the portrayal and design of Venom in this game. I have yet to see either Venom movies with Tom Hardy because to me, that's not TRUE Venom. Venom shouldn't be "funny" or goofy. He's not an "anti hero" in the sense most people use that term. He's a TRUE ANTI hero, meaning he's a straight up, horrifying villain. He's a murderous alien who literally eats people and his motives and goals in this game are very clear and make sense on top of him being a blood thirsty rage monster. Couldn't have asked for a better Venom in a great Spidey game. Props to the whole team at Insomniac.
The boss fights aside, the game was very solid. Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾
That's wild they didn't have this planned out from the beginning and just broad story beat. all the small details that made this story great worked so well and it just sort of "happened" lol. other studios wish they could tell a story half as good.
Knull could be the villain in a Venom spin off game
I'm Expecting Red Goblin, because we still have Cletus and Norman. But maaaan, if you give us Knull? That would be a dream.
Journalism is dead. Y’all just want free copies of games and to be in their good graces.
I expected to play as Venom……but Anti-Venom?! That caught me off guard 👏🏽
It was kinda expected with the anti-venom suit I mean they gave Peter a new suit when he fought Doc Ock
I hope to see Goblin, Carnage, Daredevil and lukecage in spiderman 3 fs. Bringing in the fantastic 4 or avengers is a nice idea to. Wolverine is a must at the post credit sceane atleast.
It could be like Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage, that was a classic!
On a building in the top rop right corner of the Hell's Kitchen district there's a 4 in a circle half painted on the roof of that skyscraper. With the numbers 800 150 next to it.
I hated Harry being Venom just doesn't hit the same
Insomniac doing spider man for me as a fan personally feels like santamonica to do a conan game for conan fans......
It’s good to see the blueprint of these games it’s fascinating I can’t wait to see what they do with wolverine
Love this game and the story but I don’t really get the choice of having Miles fight Venom in the end. He has really no connection to Harry so it seemed kind of anticlimactic.
Idk man it was pretty climactic
@@merkxsunhow is two characters who’ve exchanged one phone call conversation being the final fight climactic?
He is also spiderman. Trying to do the right thing. And Peter was hurt. It was fitting for him to help. Would you rather have him sit on the side lines eating popcorn?
@@Thekoolaidchamp No, we’d rather the final gameplay segment have at least some semblance of an emotional impact on the characters involved.
@@thegamerword.9739 Did you play the game? Harry almost died and Peter was crying saying he couldn't lose him and Miles saved him as best as he could. And Peter tries to start the Emily May foundation again as a tribute to Harry and to the people he's lost.
I hope they set up silk a little bit in a dlc similar to Miles in the first game and then give her a stand alone game like MM
Spider-Man 2 is one of those sequels that can absolutely be better than the last and can have more sequels long after
Had so much hype for this game but unfortunately the 3rd act fell short even though I loved venom and the fact they took from cates run with the knull references and wings, anti venom ect.. it felt rushed and too short it needed to be longer and more time with venom as well as more time with Peter having the symbiote and the side missions were poor again. I think the game definitely needed to be longer the flesh out these things more as well as miles suit at the end being terrible and also the fact your forced to wear that suit and also base symbiote suit during missions instead of being able to wear different suits like raimi black suit during those missions also peter was really nerfed at times which was a disappointment
I wish I could have 20 minutes in a room with this guy. He seems so passionate both about these games and about his team. Getting to ask questions about characters and the direction insomniac is headed with them would be amazing.
You had me at 20 minutes in a room with this guy
