I have a theory that they only put Miles new suit in this game so they could get feedback on the suit so in the next game they can improve the suit and people will hate them less for replacing the classic suit
I mean maybe yeah but it comes outta left field and looks completely disgusting, at least in my opinion it’s an objectively bad suit, if you like it more power to ya lol.
one dumb part you didnt mention about the evolved suit is that miles chose the worst time to make and then wear it. insomniac could've at least shown him tinkering on it whenever we see him doing his college essay or entering the house during some side missions, but no, we only get the final result right before the climax of the game which happens to take place during a city wide lockdown in which he'd be really helpful at saving people??
What I found the most ironic about it was that, for me, I had JUST heard a JJJ podcast where he criticizes Peter for getting a new outfit while the city is in shambles (even though he didn't really have a choice lol). Then, right after that, I see Miles show up in his new outfit 😂
@@youtubeuserkine That's interesting. I didn't really swap suits very much while playing through the story, so I got it right after getting Pete's last story suit (trying not to spoil it for anybody else)
@@isaacduraes7685that’s the thing, they could have atleast shown him doing it. The last game has whole montage scene dedicated to the suit. Also why tf is there a new suit, miles calling it a ‘miles morales original’ and stuff if that was the whole point of the classic suit in sm:miles morales?
Black Raimi suit stuff was probably just for accuracy sake , since in the movie it never had any symbiote tentacle powers or black webbing it just affected Peter’s personality
@@lucianganea3034 It can do those things in the comics though Peter just wasn’t aware of properties of the living abyss , even venom didn’t use any of those in his first appearance
When i got the symbiote it didnt feel like a slight boost, it was a massive boost with more versatile abilities and a rage mode and that didn't let you take damage either from gun fire or melee attacks from enemies and with a boost in regular web fire and melee damage. When i switched over to miles i was like " aww man i dont get to bulldoze my enemies" but I still overall enjoyed both of them
Spider-Man Noir also has his own web wings, having the comic dotted pattern on it like the rest of the outfit, and Peter's Falcon costume has wings on the backpack instead of the underarm webs. So in terms of unique web wings, Peter has 4 and Miles has 3.
@@flardy9289 It's four because I was also counting the ones PSM saw. The standard White, the Symbiote one, Spider-Verse variant, and the Falcon wings. Those are 4 for Peter. Also, what's the fourth for Miles? I only know of the red, blue, and Spider-Verse variant.
@@nofacedgoldfish6216 He wasn't counting the standard white since he specifically said alternate designs so that makes it 3. I don't personally know which Miles ones he was talking about. I also only know about the 3 you mentioned but I didn't check myself
Yeah that's what I thought was going to happen too idk it just kinda made sense that he would have to use his brain instead of brawn with creating the legs instead of using brute force with the symbiote
Peter: After seeing you use all your cool powers I had to keep up with you Miles: You don't need no alien for this you're the smartest guy I know make your own super suit
Not a lot of people talk about this, but i wish Peter and Miles had more poses in photomode. Like sure, peter has the pointing meme or the spider-verse thinking meme pose. But they could have added poses that are like a no-brainer. Like the "Secret Wars" black suit pose, the Bully Maguire dance pose, or the Amazing phantasy 15 pose, etc.... And for Miles, they didn't add the thinking meme pose from ITSV, even though peter has it in photomode. Like, i hope they add these poses in like an update or something. Edit: fixed some minor grammar mistakes in my comment.
9:00 I completely disagree, after getting the black suit all I could feel was a power high. It might've been since the first fight only uses the surge mode but even in swinging and stopping normal crimes it felt good, every time I switched out of the black suit id go back to it simply because of the vibe of combat.
I think that the problem with the new Miles suit is that it doesn’t really feel like something Miles would wear (to me at least.) I personally use it but only because it reminds me of my Spidersona suit.
My only complaint is how little replay value there is, especially since mission/base replay and new game+ aren't in the game yet Also i wish they kept in the ability to spawn in random crimes in the FNSM app that was in the miles morales game
Kai, the Raimi suit had white webs coming out, which is why he doesn't have the black webbing when he thwips. However, the L1 and Triangle(or X) SHOULD be the symbiote boost for mid-air traversal.
How did you not feel more powerful as the Symbiote the ultimate ability alone was insane as well as the L1 abilities getting massively boosted. Amazing difficulty problems out here.
Yeah exactly, before the symbiote, I felt Peter lacked in terms of good abilities in comparison to Miles, but right after getting that symbiote I couldn't stop using him
I personally didn’t mind that you had the spider arm abilities before you got the symbiote because I found the symbiote abilities WAY more useful than the arm abilities
i'd say this game is like a 9/10. only actual persistent flaws (not bugs or anything) was flint marko's voice acting, and the unidentified target missions, those are really annoying. Also, i feel like that the side missions could be much more expanded upon, but we will most def get elaborations in any form possible, either DLC or a new game. Super great game
I ended up skipping the target missions, they put way too much faith in the player to have a handle on the glide mechanic for me to be able to pull those off
Mainly the mask is the problem for me, the lack of a web pattern makes it look like shit, and also I feel like if the suit had its hood up then it would’ve been a slightly better costume for miles
miles CANNOT pull off the hair sticking out like pavitr can, if they made it a full mask, i'd say it would be mid tier, but for now, its one of the worst
My main problem with the suit is the context in which he creates the suit, its the end of the world practically and Miles thought you know what instead of saving people imma make a new suit. If it was like the anit-ock suit where it served a purpose for the final boss fight then it would make sense, but it doesn't. (plus its ugly imo)
I’m with Kai that this shouldn’t be his new suit going forward, it doesn’t scream miles morales to me. Hopefully they go back on this for Marvel’s Spider-Man 3
I think just saying the story is “ok” is kind of underselling it a bit. Feels like just complaining to complain. The writers did an insane job on making every characters story feel purposeful and earned over the last two games of storytelling. The character work is so good, and the way that insomniac sticks to past spidey lore while doing their own spin and portrayal on certain things keeps it fresh and unique to these games stories and world.
Agree, the only thing I would complain about is literally just getting more of it. If the game had like 2-3 hours more it would’ve helped the story’s pacing.
I said in another video of yours. I really wish the spider arm abilities were instead replaced with web based abilities. This would show Peter as the more veteran Spidey using his webs in more creative ways and also wouldn’t look so out of place and obnoxious like the arms do. The L1 + Square could be the same but he instead uses webs to pull little chunks of concrete out the ground and slaps up the enemy with them. L1 + Triangle could be the same with Peter launching himself forward similar to the sling shot and twirling around using kicks and firing webs destroying everything in front of him L1 + X could be the same but have Peter pull himself skyward with webs then proceeds to yoink up all those below him with webbing And lastly, L1 + Circle could be replaced with Peter creating a massive “web wrecking ball” (for lack of better term) that he slams into the ground causing it to explode and web up all enemies in the immediate area. And if u upgrade it u can add fly back to the webbed up enemies so if ur in an alley they all fly onto and get stuck to the walls. OP as fuck but fun as shit in my eyes.
They're probably saving all the web-based abilities for Silk, either in DLC for this game or in the inevitable Spider-Man 3. However, I agree with your sentiment; Peter's supposed to be the veteran here, so his in-game abilities & playstyle, as well as his canonical feats in the story, should reflect that. However, this also game seems to have a bizarre & *massive* hate-boner for Peter Parker, so he's not allowed to actually accomplish anything himself or be portrayed positively in his own game.
I see your point, but I feel like the arms DO showcase Peter's experience with this version specifically. We see in the first game that Insomniac's Peter has come up with a myriad of gadgets and various tools built into his suit that allow him to better fight crime. The arms are like the culmination of his life's work so far, as with a maxed skill tree, the arms are one catch-all tool that can pretty much accomplish everything that the gadgets of the first game could accomplish; the upgraded L1 Triangle ability acts like impact web, L1 X acts like the suspension matrix, L1 Circle acts like electric web from the first game (especially when upgraded), and the upgraded L1 Square even has a concussive blast at the end of the combo. The only things really missing are the web bombs and spider bots, which are more than supplemented by the gadgets.
@@FakeFrenchMan yea nah I get what ur saying fully. I just personally hate iron spider arms visually on Spider-Man, especially in the suit he is wearing in the game. Makes him look too goofy for me (big chunky metal arms coming out of a seemingly cloth suit. I know this isn’t a shared sentiment but at the end of the day it is what it is. From a gameplay standpoint they feel great and are fun to use but it’s just a nitpick I have.
@@shantaehalf-geniehero4318Yes they do. In the emily may missions if you interact with a prototype of otto’s arms peter willingly say that’s where he got the inspiration from. Some of yall just don’t pay attention😂
I think the reason why they didn’t give the Raimi black suit black webbing was because in Spider-Man 3 You can see Peter, shooting, white webs and not black. I think this costume should’ve been like an alternate style for the webbed suit and not be its own thing
While I do still feel like the symbiote abilities were a lot more powerful than the arms, I feel like it would've been more impactful both gameplay and storywise if Peter didn't get the arms until after losing the suit. That way, Peter, and by extension the player, would feel like he's falling behind compared to Miles, and you'd feel like you get an even bigger power boost from the black suit. Then, after losing it, Peter makes the arms, using his scientific genius to boost his power himself, rather than relying on a freaky alien thingy. I was honestly shocked when Peter gets to use the arms in the first mission of the game, and thought that was a really odd decision.
I see your point but I feel similarly in the opposite way, start with the arms but make it clear they exist because he feels like he's falling behind by miles. That way you set up very early on Peter's self doubt, which would give the symbiote something to actually feed off of negative emotion wise. Then after losing the symbiote, Pete should've unlocked some mad powerful Spiderarms ability that's inspired by the symbiote. I feel like antivenom is a cop out, while good for explaining why ingame he can still use symbiote powers, it sort of thematically goes against what the suit is, which is raw power at a spiritual cost. Weakens the impact a bit, even if antivenom spidey is fun
One part that i enjoy about this game a lot is that you can actually feel the power creep, at first you can find yourself having a bit of trouble with some average goons or sand enemies if you weren't careful, but as you progress and get new gadgets, abilities and overall health and damage buffs, you start to take down weaker enemies in just 4 hits or less, then you get introduced to stronger enemies that take more effort to take down, once i started fighting symbiotes i realized i was barley getting through each encounter, so i went out and did a lot of side stuff and got tons of upgrades, after that it still wasn't easy, but i could tell that i had gotten more powerful.
08:34 well, if they make peter weaker before the Venom suit, many of you guys would say stuff like "Oh man they nerf peter" or "man, peter is so weak compared to miles, which is absurd, because he is the senior and already a spiderman longer than miles, why they make peter so weak", like making peter weak is not the solution, or even him being as strong as the venom suit is also make sense. This one i gotta dissagree man, your solution is not fool proof.
your nitpick is actually incorrect. Spider-Man had the web-wings since his first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15 and there were comics that featured him using them to glide. They eventually got rid of them, and everyone got used to him without them because it looked better.
Miles' new suit reminds me a lot of Silk's, with the highlights being on the torso and the top of the head being exposed. I imagine the evolved suit was worked in to provide later narrative explanation to Silk's suit whenever she is properly introduced.
Disagree about the gadgets. Almost all the gadgets from the first game are still in this one. Many of them have just been combined into one to cut out the gadget wheel and improve combat flow. Impact Webs are an upgrade for the basic Web-Shooters and trigger automatically, Ricochet Webs function like better Web-Bombs, Fully upgraded Upshot is like Suspension Matrix, Spider-Bots and Electric Webs in one and Sonic Burst is a better Concussive Blast with a larger area of effect. The only gadget actually missing are the Web-Mines which is a shame but they are not really needed because stealth is not as much of a focus this time around (which is fine for me because it wasn’t all that fun anyway). Overall I used the gadgets far more in this game than in the first because I didn’t have to pause the game to select them and found them a lot more useful and fun because they synergise well with other gadgets and your special abilities.
The reason why it's the BEST Spider-Man game for me is because of the amount of heart and passion was put into it. Insomniac wasn't trying to make a perfect game. They was trying to make the BEST Spider-Man game they could make using all their knowlege of Spider-Man. And that is worth praising.
To be honest, I think they should actually lock the Symbiote abilities behind the different symbiote suits so that way he wouldn’t be able to use them if he had for example the iron spider or any of his other non-symbiote suits so it would actually make sense. I mean I know he could probably summon just it around his back or his arms to be able to do it but it just doesn’t seem that cool that way
I definitely noticed a power difference with the black suit, especially with the rage mode that just absolutely annihilates. When I got the suit stripped away from me, I wanted it back so bad because of that one mode alone, but even the abilities felt stronger than the robo arms, even if it was mostly a visual difference there. Personally, I like the robo arms. I think it adds a lot more to the combat, especially since the first game's combat system was so plain and easy. Taking them away would just make it seem like the first game to me, and I would feel pained to play Peter Parker to begin with. Why would I ever want to play Peter if Miles is the objectively better Spider-Man to play as? It makes no sense. While the arms were a bit clunky, I still did enjoy them, and the clunkiness adds to the impact of Peter getting the black suit for sure
I'm just saying, Insomniac should have made the web wings for the Iron Spider Suit be the repulser thrusters on his hands and feet...that'd be pretty sick. Also the FFH Final Swing suit uses the wrong shade of blue, instead making it teal for some reason
My biggest issue aside from Kraven not holding me in his big manly arms has to be the Symbiote Behemoths. I KEEP HITTING THEM, AND THEY JUST DON'T GO DOWN! I CAN WASTE ALL MY ABILITIES ON THEM AND THEY'RE STILL STANDING! GO TO SLEEP ALREADY!
After playing the game and waiting for the big update coming in at some time in the future a lot of the costumes grew on me like miles new costume it’s just kinda fun to have but it kinda sucks that the deluxe suits only have the one color I understand the licensed ones because Sony and Disney has to approve the colors also I’m pretty sure the color options are just texture changes
my only complaint of the game is that the symbiote enemies at the end of the game. Don't get me wrong, those symbiote enemies are cool the first time around. But after fighting thems throughout all the symbiote nests mission and the last arc of the games. I am exhausted. Plus, why are they still here post game? They are tanky, tricky, and really forces you to play in a specific way at the end game. They hit like a truck too. This really stings. Otherwise, the game is fantastic! Waiting for DLCs.
My solution to Symbiotes and ESPECIALLY the brutes is just special attack spam. The big guy I just run right up to and Mega Venom Blast immediately when I’m playing Miles, or I just surge more through them as Peter. Can’t be bothered dealing with them. Hope fighting them is a little more balanced if they ever do Knull stuff given how much these Symbiotes are immediately connected to him
There's a couple gripes I have and that's mainly the non-inclusion of some things from the previous games 1. The gadgets from the previous games should be options like the abilities. I MISS the web bomb, trick wire, friggin impact web! Why are they gone? Sure certain web abilities make up for it, but it makes stealth missions a little boring 2. The costumes... nuff said 3. The podcasts. Half the time they're cut short bc of missions, so the fact i can't go back and listen to them is a bummer. Hopefully updates fix this stuff, doubt it though
That thumbnail got me acting up fr fr... But honestly, this is the best video I've seen on Spider-Man 2 so far. Your points weren't overly technical and I totally agree on pretty much everything you brought up, especially relating to Peter's weird arm thingies that make the symbiote not seem like that much of an upgrade.
The whole removal of the arms? You get that the symbiote abilities are just way stronger, right? And if they took away the symbiote like they do and left you with no L1 abilities for a good chunk of the game, wouldn't that be annoying? Besides, it also shows a progression in Peter and Miles. That they took what didn't work with Doc Ock before and massively improved it
For me personally the updated HUD wasn’t that frustrating, I just kinda through muscle memory just started remembering which buttons do which so I didn’t really need to spread my focus thin. In terms of the powers, I feel what u mean, but I think the symbiote powers are still WAY better than the spider leg ones, I legit only use Spider Rush whenever I have symbiote stuff unlocked and that’s only cause I get the symbiote version of that move through symbiote surge anyways lmao
I have two issues about this game. 1: when you equipment black venom suit the venom attacks are still white instead of being black 2: you can't change the time!
Peter’s L1 abilities would’ve made more sense with the surge abilities. E.g. as Peter, you don’t get any L1 abilities, but then you press L3+R3 to change your spider-man suit into the anti venom suit where you get the L1 abilities on stop of your increased strength & no damage taken. When I play I just get picky, when I’m wearing a spandex suit as Peter I don’t use L1 abilities at all and specifically use gadgets & combos to take enemies down. And I only use the spider arm abilities when I’m using an armoured design because I can’t help but get distracted when I use the spider arms on the homemade suit. Plus, I really hope there’s an update where you can switch between the black & white variants of the symbiote abilities because after the main story you’re locked out of the black suit abilities & are stuck with the anti venom equivalent & it bothers me more than it should.
God Kai’s voice is so good for Spider-Man because when he plays the clip where miles pops onto the roof in the new suit and he says “the fuck are you wearing” it fit so well
i have 2 problems regarding suits: 1. With all the symbiotic suits/black & white variants of suit you get in this game, the need to really buy or wear any other suit wasn’t really there for me because while i was playing the story i rlly wanted to integrate the black suit into gameplay even when i wasn’t playing the story. 2. Miles new suit is pointless. Not talking about how it looks, or if miles would even wear something like. But the fact that they redesigned miles classic suit into a new suit (the suit you start the damn game with), made it completely separate and gave it its own variants. Just for it to be replaced. Peter is different because his redesigned suit IS his main one. The one miles gets js gets replaced as the main at the end and it feels kinda weird.
SPOILERS ALERT! The combat felt much more difficult for me, and i loved it. As for the implementation of the gadgets, i felt that they were 'nerfed' significantly but i think that is good as in the old game i realised i always used it to take out 3-4 enemies with some of the OP ones, this forces me to engage in hand to hand combat much more. I do wish there was an ability to use my web shooters abit more than the limited 8 in game currently. Oh and whiilst PSM complained about the UI, i personally didn't have these issues and really liked how stream lined the combat was with gadget use, not opening up a "gta 5 style weapon wheel". Traversal is a god sent, really enjoyed it. Didn't really use the webwings much except from crossing the bodies of water. Whilst the map was larger, i felt some areas were not well integrated into the story or "made you really explore and appreciate the added areas", some side missions like the robot dog one was good in attempting to explore the suburbs and the woods. In terms of the plot, i was hoping it wouldn't have went with the "web of shadows" style of covering the entire city vibe, completing the game once before i felt maybe it was abit of a repeat. But everything leading up to it was pretty good imo. Additionally, i felt the story was a tad bit short with a few too many mary jane or peter walking parts. Overall, the game was a banger and i really enjoyed it whilst i got my 100%. I really hope there will be DLC even though there is no news on it yet. Waiting for New game plus currently to get a playthrough once more on ultimate. 9.5/10
I think the reason why the Raimi black suit is stuck with no symbiote abilities is because Insomniac messed up and made it a suit you get semi early into the game. Usually by the time you have the symbiote suit in the story mode, you’ll more than likely already have the raimi black suit and they couldn’t give you those abilities earlier, so they just went half way and gave him the regular suit stuff. Hell you could unlock the suit before you get the regular red and blue raimi suit.
This games a few updates from perfection imo, add ng+, replay story missions, replay hunter/symbiote bases, weather change, and change symbiote/arm color, and in general more activities or bases to do post story
Yea, that Spider bot mission was a letdown. I thought he was at least gonna interact with some alternate Spider-Man or even Miguel, but nope, just some random cut character that nobody knows the name of.
My only issues with the game is that you can't switch back to using the black tendrils after completing the game, and that you can only use the antivenom parry no matter what suit you are wearing. It's a bit jarring going full Iron Spider only to have the tendrils pop up in the middle of combat
4:45 They're not alternate designs. They're the same model, they're just recolored to fit with the suit colors. The FFH suit has white web wings therefore it's easier to just keep it as the default
Tbh the combat update for me was solid, it was major Ultimate Alliance and X Men Legends vibes, which I take as a homage to some of the best superhero games that ever existed. 😅
I loved this game. The parry was such a good decision, now my combat can be much more decisive, as in past games you had to dodged attacks and hope you zip the the enemy you were attacking previously and not a new one (assuming you are taking on a crowd of people) My only gripe is that ng plus should’ve come out with release, I was kinda sad that I couldn’t run through the game a second time after 100 percenting it. I also feel like you should be able to change the symbiote colours for the L1 attacks. They put loads of detail into the black suits and even made a custom IU for it, but seeing the white anti venom in the black suit doesn’t do it for me Overall, best game I ever played 10/10
3:40 That being said, Insomniac didn't include pendulum physics, the ability to aim your webs when swinging, or the chance to willingly get dragged behind vehicles. 5:26 Don't be sorry; I have the same problem. In fact, why don't the capes even remotely behave like Arkham capes? 5:28 My main problems with combat is that they didn't use all of the gadgets across all three games, they didn't bring back suit powers from the first game, and th-cam.com/video/rrSxj7uLVmM/w-d-xo.html still completely picks apart the combat system. 8:01 I'm getting into that discussion because on its note, I'm disappointed because Insomniac said every suit (at least Peter would have) would have a symbiote version, and that's not true. I'm also confused as to why Peter had the robot arms; he shouldn't until they do the Superior Spider-Man storyline in the games. 10:01 I think you got your hopes up for Sandman (he did everything he needed to do), but yeah, the Spider-Verse side mission's ending was a letdown. As for me, or at least what I've seen, the symbiote invasion rips off Web of Shadows' entire plot while refusing to dive into the complexity of the Venom lineage, Klyntar diaspora, and - above all else, seeing as the game references him multiple times - Knull (bonus: th-cam.com/video/TOfrPdJr8Zk/w-d-xo.html ); and I'm sad that Miles didn't get the symbiote treatment Insomniac said Peter would get (refer to my comment on the discussion starting at 8:01), though I understand if Miles didn't need it. 16:28 They could have done a better Anti-Venom Spider suit; the lenses are ripped off of the Anti-Ock suit - which rips off the Raimi lenses - and they don't express like the symbiote suits' eyes. As for the use of black, I don't know what to think beyond it doesn't feel exactly like Anti-Venom.
I actually hate the exclusion of some of the gadgets like the Trip Mine or Impact Web. They make sense for stealth sections and Spider-Man would most definitely have a fucking Impact Web switch on his web shooters. Also, this is literally the only game where the Concussion Blast actually makes sense because it's not even a Concussion Blast for the later half of the game.
oh boy another one, peter is not passing the torch, peter is spider-man and miles is spider-man, peter finally taking a break doesn't make him not spider-man nor is miles taking peter's place as spider-man because they're both spider-man
Odd how no popular reviewers talk about the bugs glitches and crashes of this game but there is a plethora of videos show casing all these things. Me and my 2 friends all had crashes in the game too... Never happened with the first game.
I think if the evolved suit had webbing on the mask and just had the miles black and red it would be far better it’s not the word for even bad it’s too bland? Mabye this will be like advanced suit where in next game they make it a lot better due to feedback
@@TheRed_wing it IS forced its serves NO story purpose and it just seems like Insomniac let their EGO get ahead of them and wanted to make an iconic Miles suit...and FAILED miserably💀😭. Wouldve been better if Peter beat Miles in their fight and his suit got destroyed and Miles makes a newer suit to better accomodate his new powers. Gives the suit meaning to the the narrative and actual PURPOSE😂🤷♂️
@@no.1spidey-fan182 I do think giving him a new suit wasn't a bad idea but it just comes out of the blue if he was making it though the game and his main suit got destroyed like u said it would be alot better
This game is the best game but I’ve experienced a lot of bugs and glitches. One some voice lines and sounds don’t play in a cutscene or during in gameplay, two I’ve been fighting the SAME FUCKING ENEMY FACTION AND I HAVEN’T SEEN THE NORMAL CRIMINALS AND THE CULTISTS!! I’ve also experienced some funny glitches.
15:58 I find it funny that the game pretty much ends off the same way the writers from the ‘90s wanted to retire Peter. Just replace Ben Riley with Miles
I did a one and then the other thing… which led to me completing Miles side quest trees while every time I’d switch to Peter, the thing I had to do was a main story mission cause the story puts so much focus on him. I do wish it was more even but the story does feel like it’s trying to correct for this whenever they actually focus on Miles, so I don’t hate it
the ability thing is kinda silly cuz you dont need to scramble your eyes around the ui because the gadgets never change slots and you could just like yk, memorize them also yeah the gadgets in this game suck ass i guess the web grabber is ok though
The swinging has been majorly improved, but I truly hope Insomniac considers upgrading the parkour system for the inevitable 3rd game. I had high hopes for parkour after the 2016 reveal trailer and was really underwhelmed by the execution. Firstly it should be a different button than R2, cause it makes mixing parkour with swinging too clunky. Secondly, I'd prefer if it was more involving than "run and hold the trigger". This could be achieved by an alternative button layout that you can switch on and off with the d-pad or something. I'm already imagining a side mission where a guy at the park wants to shoot a short film for a school project, and Spidey agrees to showcase his parkour abilities. Also this improved parkour could really spice up stealth levels as well
Imagine if the iron spider had repulse her jet boosters come out of the arms and legs as a unique web wing ability. It would still play the exact same, it’s not like it would give you the power of flight, but it would give the illusion that Peter is flying through the air. Combine that with the wind tunnels and you might as well be flying
I have a theory that they only put Miles new suit in this game so they could get feedback on the suit so in the next game they can improve the suit and people will hate them less for replacing the classic suit
Oh I think you may be right.
How does it replace the classic suit it's an end game suit and the classic suit is still in the game

When i got the symbiote it didnt feel like a slight boost, it was a massive boost with more versatile abilities and a rage mode and that didn't let you take damage either from gun fire or melee attacks from enemies and with a boost in regular web fire and melee damage. When i switched over to miles i was like " aww man i dont get to bulldoze my enemies" but I still overall enjoyed both of them
Peter in this game feels like using a fucking tornado at times and I love it lol
Miles definitely still bulldozes his opponents. He’s op as well.

Spider-Man Noir also has his own web wings, having the comic dotted pattern on it like the rest of the outfit, and Peter's Falcon costume has wings on the backpack instead of the underarm webs.
So in terms of unique web wings, Peter has 4 and Miles has 3.
How is that 4? that's 2 + the symbiote varinat making it 3. Miles has 4
@@flardy9289 It's four because I was also counting the ones PSM saw. The standard White, the Symbiote one, Spider-Verse variant, and the Falcon wings. Those are 4 for Peter.
Also, what's the fourth for Miles? I only know of the red, blue, and Spider-Verse variant.
@@nofacedgoldfish6216 He wasn't counting the standard white since he specifically said alternate designs so that makes it 3. I don't personally know which Miles ones he was talking about. I also only know about the 3 you mentioned but I didn't check myself

@@victor.maskalenka Agreed. Wish that was the case.
I would’ve preferred the arms to be a post symbiote discovery, as a “replacement” for his symbiote.
I thought that’s what was going to happen but it makes sense the route they went too so we could get symbiote powers post game.
Yeah that's what I thought was going to happen too idk it just kinda made sense that he would have to use his brain instead of brawn with creating the legs instead of using brute force with the symbiote
kinda wish we got a third style for Peter that looks like Shattered Dimensions' heavy attacks cuz that would be dope af
Me too, it works better narratively
Peter: After seeing you use all your cool powers I had to keep up with you
Miles: You don't need no alien for this you're the smartest guy I know make your own super suit
Not a lot of people talk about this, but i wish Peter and Miles had more poses in photomode.
Like sure, peter has the pointing meme or the spider-verse thinking meme pose.
But they could have added poses that are like a no-brainer.
Like the "Secret Wars" black suit pose,
the Bully Maguire dance pose, or the Amazing phantasy 15 pose, etc....
And for Miles, they didn't add the thinking meme pose from ITSV, even though peter has it in photomode.
Like, i hope they add these poses in like an update or something.

@@J.J.Jamenson You are such a goat! Never change.
That Secret Wars one is the most shocking to be missing, hopefully they add it in a update.
9:00 I completely disagree, after getting the black suit all I could feel was a power high. It might've been since the first fight only uses the surge mode but even in swinging and stopping normal crimes it felt good, every time I switched out of the black suit id go back to it simply because of the vibe of combat.
I think that the problem with the new Miles suit is that it doesn’t really feel like something Miles would wear (to me at least.) I personally use it but only because it reminds me of my Spidersona suit.
I feel like if it had larger lenses, (like the one shown) and some red in the legs that it’d be much more loved and appreciated.

@@Seba_Prime no spoilers delete that
Kai, the Raimi suit had white webs coming out, which is why he doesn't have the black webbing when he thwips. However, the L1 and Triangle(or X) SHOULD be the symbiote boost for mid-air traversal.
How did you not feel more powerful as the Symbiote the ultimate ability alone was insane as well as the L1 abilities getting massively boosted. Amazing difficulty problems out here.
Yeah exactly, before the symbiote, I felt Peter lacked in terms of good abilities in comparison to Miles, but right after getting that symbiote I couldn't stop using him
Yeah Peter’s ultimate ability is literally god mode lmao
Did you guys prefer the venom punch or venom bomb more? I thought the bomb one felt more powerful.
bomb is more effective but personally i prefer the punch because it looks badass@@frankierichard379
@@frankierichard379 the anti-venom bomb + tempest quite literally felt like peter telling off the original symbiote, like "alright, my turn"
I personally didn’t mind that you had the spider arm abilities before you got the symbiote because I found the symbiote abilities WAY more useful than the arm abilities
doesn't help the evolved suit's favor that this suit is a huge walking adidas ad
i'd say this game is like a 9/10. only actual persistent flaws (not bugs or anything) was flint marko's voice acting, and the unidentified target missions, those are really annoying. Also, i feel like that the side missions could be much more expanded upon, but we will most def get elaborations in any form possible, either DLC or a new game. Super great game
I ended up skipping the target missions, they put way too much faith in the player to have a handle on the glide mechanic for me to be able to pull those off
@@Cdr2002 i did the same lol
I think miles’s new suit isn’t bad but it can definitely be better
Mainly the mask is the problem for me, the lack of a web pattern makes it look like shit, and also I feel like if the suit had its hood up then it would’ve been a slightly better costume for miles
miles CANNOT pull off the hair sticking out like pavitr can, if they made it a full mask, i'd say it would be mid tier, but for now, its one of the worst
The mask and if they cooled It a bit with the blue beams. And if you’re extra nit picky the shoes are a bit too much but I don’t really mind
My main problem with the suit is the context in which he creates the suit, its the end of the world practically and Miles thought you know what instead of saving people imma make a new suit. If it was like the anit-ock suit where it served a purpose for the final boss fight then it would make sense, but it doesn't. (plus its ugly imo)
I’m with Kai that this shouldn’t be his new suit going forward, it doesn’t scream miles morales to me. Hopefully they go back on this for Marvel’s Spider-Man 3
I think just saying the story is “ok” is kind of underselling it a bit. Feels like just complaining to complain. The writers did an insane job on making every characters story feel purposeful and earned over the last two games of storytelling. The character work is so good, and the way that insomniac sticks to past spidey lore while doing their own spin and portrayal on certain things keeps it fresh and unique to these games stories and world.
Sorry , it was shit
Agree, the only thing I would complain about is literally just getting more of it. If the game had like 2-3 hours more it would’ve helped the story’s pacing.
Insomniac did a fantastic paying respects to previous iterations with their own spin. Legit will go down in history like arkham.
I genuinally Pitty Harry in this Game, he was such a nice boy & I LOVE THAT EVEN AFTER BECOMING EVIL HE STILL WANTS HIS FRIEND TO BE IN HIS SIDE😢
16:45 Fans across the globe when we saw the miles suit lol
I said in another video of yours. I really wish the spider arm abilities were instead replaced with web based abilities. This would show Peter as the more veteran Spidey using his webs in more creative ways and also wouldn’t look so out of place and obnoxious like the arms do.
The L1 + Square could be the same but he instead uses webs to pull little chunks of concrete out the ground and slaps up the enemy with them.
L1 + Triangle could be the same with Peter launching himself forward similar to the sling shot and twirling around using kicks and firing webs destroying everything in front of him
L1 + X could be the same but have Peter pull himself skyward with webs then proceeds to yoink up all those below him with webbing
And lastly, L1 + Circle could be replaced with Peter creating a massive “web wrecking ball” (for lack of better term) that he slams into the ground causing it to explode and web up all enemies in the immediate area. And if u upgrade it u can add fly back to the webbed up enemies so if ur in an alley they all fly onto and get stuck to the walls. OP as fuck but fun as shit in my eyes.
They're probably saving all the web-based abilities for Silk, either in DLC for this game or in the inevitable Spider-Man 3.
However, I agree with your sentiment; Peter's supposed to be the veteran here, so his in-game abilities & playstyle, as well as his canonical feats in the story, should reflect that. However, this also game seems to have a bizarre & *massive* hate-boner for Peter Parker, so he's not allowed to actually accomplish anything himself or be portrayed positively in his own game.
I see your point, but I feel like the arms DO showcase Peter's experience with this version specifically. We see in the first game that Insomniac's Peter has come up with a myriad of gadgets and various tools built into his suit that allow him to better fight crime. The arms are like the culmination of his life's work so far, as with a maxed skill tree, the arms are one catch-all tool that can pretty much accomplish everything that the gadgets of the first game could accomplish; the upgraded L1 Triangle ability acts like impact web, L1 X acts like the suspension matrix, L1 Circle acts like electric web from the first game (especially when upgraded), and the upgraded L1 Square even has a concussive blast at the end of the combo. The only things really missing are the web bombs and spider bots, which are more than supplemented by the gadgets.
@@FakeFrenchMan yea nah I get what ur saying fully. I just personally hate iron spider arms visually on Spider-Man, especially in the suit he is wearing in the game. Makes him look too goofy for me (big chunky metal arms coming out of a seemingly cloth suit. I know this isn’t a shared sentiment but at the end of the day it is what it is. From a gameplay standpoint they feel great and are fun to use but it’s just a nitpick I have.
@@1992holycrapwhat’s even more sad is that there’s no given answer as to how Peter even made the arms or where he thought of them to make them
@@shantaehalf-geniehero4318Yes they do. In the emily may missions if you interact with a prototype of otto’s arms peter willingly say that’s where he got the inspiration from. Some of yall just don’t pay attention😂
I think the reason why they didn’t give the Raimi black suit black webbing was because in Spider-Man 3 You can see Peter, shooting, white webs and not black.
I think this costume should’ve been like an alternate style for the webbed suit and not be its own thing
While I do still feel like the symbiote abilities were a lot more powerful than the arms, I feel like it would've been more impactful both gameplay and storywise if Peter didn't get the arms until after losing the suit. That way, Peter, and by extension the player, would feel like he's falling behind compared to Miles, and you'd feel like you get an even bigger power boost from the black suit. Then, after losing it, Peter makes the arms, using his scientific genius to boost his power himself, rather than relying on a freaky alien thingy. I was honestly shocked when Peter gets to use the arms in the first mission of the game, and thought that was a really odd decision.
@@CaptKami18that’s the point. Peter was supposed to feel weaker than Miles.
I see your point but I feel similarly in the opposite way, start with the arms but make it clear they exist because he feels like he's falling behind by miles. That way you set up very early on Peter's self doubt, which would give the symbiote something to actually feed off of negative emotion wise.
Then after losing the symbiote, Pete should've unlocked some mad powerful Spiderarms ability that's inspired by the symbiote. I feel like antivenom is a cop out, while good for explaining why ingame he can still use symbiote powers, it sort of thematically goes against what the suit is, which is raw power at a spiritual cost. Weakens the impact a bit, even if antivenom spidey is fun
One part that i enjoy about this game a lot is that you can actually feel the power creep, at first you can find yourself having a bit of trouble with some average goons or sand enemies if you weren't careful, but as you progress and get new gadgets, abilities and overall health and damage buffs, you start to take down weaker enemies in just 4 hits or less, then you get introduced to stronger enemies that take more effort to take down, once i started fighting symbiotes i realized i was barley getting through each encounter, so i went out and did a lot of side stuff and got tons of upgrades, after that it still wasn't easy, but i could tell that i had gotten more powerful.
08:34 well, if they make peter weaker before the Venom suit, many of you guys would say stuff like "Oh man they nerf peter" or "man, peter is so weak compared to miles, which is absurd, because he is the senior and already a spiderman longer than miles, why they make peter so weak", like making peter weak is not the solution, or even him being as strong as the venom suit is also make sense. This one i gotta dissagree man, your solution is not fool proof.
Venom, after looking at that thumbnail: AMBATUKUUUUUUU-
your nitpick is actually incorrect. Spider-Man had the web-wings since his first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15 and there were comics that featured him using them to glide. They eventually got rid of them, and everyone got used to him without them because it looked better.
Miles' new suit reminds me a lot of Silk's, with the highlights being on the torso and the top of the head being exposed. I imagine the evolved suit was worked in to provide later narrative explanation to Silk's suit whenever she is properly introduced.
Disagree about the gadgets. Almost all the gadgets from the first game are still in this one. Many of them have just been combined into one to cut out the gadget wheel and improve combat flow.
Impact Webs are an upgrade for the basic Web-Shooters and trigger automatically, Ricochet Webs function like better Web-Bombs, Fully upgraded Upshot is like Suspension Matrix, Spider-Bots and Electric Webs in one and Sonic Burst is a better Concussive Blast with a larger area of effect. The only gadget actually missing are the Web-Mines which is a shame but they are not really needed because stealth is not as much of a focus this time around (which is fine for me because it wasn’t all that fun anyway).
Overall I used the gadgets far more in this game than in the first because I didn’t have to pause the game to select them and found them a lot more useful and fun because they synergise well with other gadgets and your special abilities.
I do wish stealth gadgets like the trip mines were still in
Venom must be at the edge of his seat with that thumbnail wanting to really get Peter
The reason why it's the BEST Spider-Man game for me is because of the amount of heart and passion was put into it. Insomniac wasn't trying to make a perfect game. They was trying to make the BEST Spider-Man game they could make using all their knowlege of Spider-Man. And that is worth praising.
To be honest, I think they should actually lock the Symbiote abilities behind the different symbiote suits so that way he wouldn’t be able to use them if he had for example the iron spider or any of his other non-symbiote suits so it would actually make sense. I mean I know he could probably summon just it around his back or his arms to be able to do it but it just doesn’t seem that cool that way
I definitely noticed a power difference with the black suit, especially with the rage mode that just absolutely annihilates. When I got the suit stripped away from me, I wanted it back so bad because of that one mode alone, but even the abilities felt stronger than the robo arms, even if it was mostly a visual difference there.
Personally, I like the robo arms. I think it adds a lot more to the combat, especially since the first game's combat system was so plain and easy. Taking them away would just make it seem like the first game to me, and I would feel pained to play Peter Parker to begin with. Why would I ever want to play Peter if Miles is the objectively better Spider-Man to play as? It makes no sense. While the arms were a bit clunky, I still did enjoy them, and the clunkiness adds to the impact of Peter getting the black suit for sure
Symbiote rage was my “alright I’m tired of you motherfuckers” button
Backseat gaming was banished 😭
I'm just saying, Insomniac should have made the web wings for the Iron Spider Suit be the repulser thrusters on his hands and feet...that'd be pretty sick. Also the FFH Final Swing suit uses the wrong shade of blue, instead making it teal for some reason
Agreed, we needed some unique gliding animations for certain suits
The reason the bully macguire suit isn’t a symbiote is because he actually used his webs in the movie
The Raimi suit never did anything symbioteish. Just made him a dick and stronger. So it kinda maes sense.
My biggest issue aside from Kraven not holding me in his big manly arms has to be the Symbiote Behemoths. I KEEP HITTING THEM, AND THEY JUST DON'T GO DOWN! I CAN WASTE ALL MY ABILITIES ON THEM AND THEY'RE STILL STANDING! GO TO SLEEP ALREADY!
After playing the game and waiting for the big update coming in at some time in the future a lot of the costumes grew on me like miles new costume it’s just kinda fun to have but it kinda sucks that the deluxe suits only have the one color I understand the licensed ones because Sony and Disney has to approve the colors also I’m pretty sure the color options are just texture changes
my only complaint of the game is that the symbiote enemies at the end of the game. Don't get me wrong, those symbiote enemies are cool the first time around. But after fighting thems throughout all the symbiote nests mission and the last arc of the games. I am exhausted. Plus, why are they still here post game? They are tanky, tricky, and really forces you to play in a specific way at the end game. They hit like a truck too. This really stings. Otherwise, the game is fantastic! Waiting for DLCs.
My solution to Symbiotes and ESPECIALLY the brutes is just special attack spam. The big guy I just run right up to and Mega Venom Blast immediately when I’m playing Miles, or I just surge more through them as Peter. Can’t be bothered dealing with them. Hope fighting them is a little more balanced if they ever do Knull stuff given how much these Symbiotes are immediately connected to him
But yeah this is my go-to spider-man content because of your comedic swearing that make my days heavenly better
There's a couple gripes I have and that's mainly the non-inclusion of some things from the previous games
1. The gadgets from the previous games should be options like the abilities. I MISS the web bomb, trick wire, friggin impact web! Why are they gone? Sure certain web abilities make up for it, but it makes stealth missions a little boring
2. The costumes... nuff said
3. The podcasts. Half the time they're cut short bc of missions, so the fact i can't go back and listen to them is a bummer.
Hopefully updates fix this stuff, doubt it though
Yeah they really need to add listening to listening back to Just the Facts and Danikast
That thumbnail got me acting up fr fr...
But honestly, this is the best video I've seen on Spider-Man 2 so far. Your points weren't overly technical and I totally agree on pretty much everything you brought up, especially relating to Peter's weird arm thingies that make the symbiote not seem like that much of an upgrade.
The whole removal of the arms? You get that the symbiote abilities are just way stronger, right? And if they took away the symbiote like they do and left you with no L1 abilities for a good chunk of the game, wouldn't that be annoying? Besides, it also shows a progression in Peter and Miles. That they took what didn't work with Doc Ock before and massively improved it
For me personally the updated HUD wasn’t that frustrating, I just kinda through muscle memory just started remembering which buttons do which so I didn’t really need to spread my focus thin. In terms of the powers, I feel what u mean, but I think the symbiote powers are still WAY better than the spider leg ones, I legit only use Spider Rush whenever I have symbiote stuff unlocked and that’s only cause I get the symbiote version of that move through symbiote surge anyways lmao
I have two issues about this game.
1: when you equipment black venom suit the venom attacks are still white instead of being black
2: you can't change the time!
that "what the f*** are you wearing" was amazing
PSM: this is best spider man game ever {complains for most of the vid}
Peter was not retiring, he was just having a break.
He really got that offended by a backseat gamer 😂
Peter’s L1 abilities would’ve made more sense with the surge abilities. E.g. as Peter, you don’t get any L1 abilities, but then you press L3+R3 to change your spider-man suit into the anti venom suit where you get the L1 abilities on stop of your increased strength & no damage taken. When I play I just get picky, when I’m wearing a spandex suit as Peter I don’t use L1 abilities at all and specifically use gadgets & combos to take enemies down. And I only use the spider arm abilities when I’m using an armoured design because I can’t help but get distracted when I use the spider arms on the homemade suit. Plus, I really hope there’s an update where you can switch between the black & white variants of the symbiote abilities because after the main story you’re locked out of the black suit abilities & are stuck with the anti venom equivalent & it bothers me more than it should.
Bro said he feels overwhelmed with the way the abilities are used. Brother you create the load out. The moves you want are there by you’re choice
Hot take, I'm in love with the Anti-Venom suit. It's so cool, especially the eyes and spider logos.
The original Spiderman from 1962 had nets for wings under his arms.
God Kai’s voice is so good for Spider-Man because when he plays the clip where miles pops onto the roof in the new suit and he says “the fuck are you wearing” it fit so well
i have 2 problems regarding suits:
1. With all the symbiotic suits/black & white variants of suit you get in this game, the need to really buy or wear any other suit wasn’t really there for me because while i was playing the story i rlly wanted to integrate the black suit into gameplay even when i wasn’t playing the story.
2. Miles new suit is pointless. Not talking about how it looks, or if miles would even wear something like. But the fact that they redesigned miles classic suit into a new suit (the suit you start the damn game with), made it completely separate and gave it its own variants. Just for it to be replaced. Peter is different because his redesigned suit IS his main one. The one miles gets js gets replaced as the main at the end and it feels kinda weird.
The arms suck compared to venom's powers. I definitely noticed a massive shift in Peter's abilities between having and not having symbiote powers.
The Venom abilities just FEEL more powerful than the legs
nah peter has three. the symbiote suits have their own web wings and the civil wars suit has those falcon ass wings
SPOILERS ALERT!
The combat felt much more difficult for me, and i loved it. As for the implementation of the gadgets, i felt that they were 'nerfed' significantly but i think that is good as in the old game i realised i always used it to take out 3-4 enemies with some of the OP ones, this forces me to engage in hand to hand combat much more. I do wish there was an ability to use my web shooters abit more than the limited 8 in game currently.
Oh and whiilst PSM complained about the UI, i personally didn't have these issues and really liked how stream lined the combat was with gadget use, not opening up a "gta 5 style weapon wheel".
Traversal is a god sent, really enjoyed it. Didn't really use the webwings much except from crossing the bodies of water.
Whilst the map was larger, i felt some areas were not well integrated into the story or "made you really explore and appreciate the added areas", some side missions like the robot dog one was good in attempting to explore the suburbs and the woods.
In terms of the plot, i was hoping it wouldn't have went with the "web of shadows" style of covering the entire city vibe, completing the game once before i felt maybe it was abit of a repeat. But everything leading up to it was pretty good imo. Additionally, i felt the story was a tad bit short with a few too many mary jane or peter walking parts.
Overall, the game was a banger and i really enjoyed it whilst i got my 100%. I really hope there will be DLC even though there is no news on it yet. Waiting for New game plus currently to get a playthrough once more on ultimate.
9.5/10
I think the reason why the Raimi black suit is stuck with no symbiote abilities is because Insomniac messed up and made it a suit you get semi early into the game. Usually by the time you have the symbiote suit in the story mode, you’ll more than likely already have the raimi black suit and they couldn’t give you those abilities earlier, so they just went half way and gave him the regular suit stuff. Hell you could unlock the suit before you get the regular red and blue raimi suit.
This games a few updates from perfection imo, add ng+, replay story missions, replay hunter/symbiote bases, weather change, and change symbiote/arm color, and in general more activities or bases to do post story
Yea, that Spider bot mission was a letdown. I thought he was at least gonna interact with some alternate Spider-Man or even Miguel, but nope, just some random cut character that nobody knows the name of.
This is my new favourite game but I still think the first one's story is better.
My only issues with the game is that you can't switch back to using the black tendrils after completing the game, and that you can only use the antivenom parry no matter what suit you are wearing. It's a bit jarring going full Iron Spider only to have the tendrils pop up in the middle of combat
would have been easy to put a toggle in the settings like they do for the comic sfx and spiderverse frame rate
4:45
They're not alternate designs. They're the same model, they're just recolored to fit with the suit colors.
The FFH suit has white web wings therefore it's easier to just keep it as the default
Tbh the combat update for me was solid, it was major Ultimate Alliance and X Men Legends vibes, which I take as a homage to some of the best superhero games that ever existed. 😅
I loved this game. The parry was such a good decision, now my combat can be much more decisive, as in past games you had to dodged attacks and hope you zip the the enemy you were attacking previously and not a new one (assuming you are taking on a crowd of people)
My only gripe is that ng plus should’ve come out with release, I was kinda sad that I couldn’t run through the game a second time after 100 percenting it. I also feel like you should be able to change the symbiote colours for the L1 attacks. They put loads of detail into the black suits and even made a custom IU for it, but seeing the white anti venom in the black suit doesn’t do it for me
Overall, best game I ever played
10/10
The parry mechanic is a decent idea but I couldn’t get it to feel natural for me
If this is the best game you’ve ever played that’s kinda sad. This ain’t even the game of the year.

Lmfao Kai what did you do with that thumbnail 🤞😔
3:40 That being said, Insomniac didn't include pendulum physics, the ability to aim your webs when swinging, or the chance to willingly get dragged behind vehicles.
5:26 Don't be sorry; I have the same problem. In fact, why don't the capes even remotely behave like Arkham capes?
5:28 My main problems with combat is that they didn't use all of the gadgets across all three games, they didn't bring back suit powers from the first game, and th-cam.com/video/rrSxj7uLVmM/w-d-xo.html still completely picks apart the combat system.
8:01 I'm getting into that discussion because on its note, I'm disappointed because Insomniac said every suit (at least Peter would have) would have a symbiote version, and that's not true. I'm also confused as to why Peter had the robot arms; he shouldn't until they do the Superior Spider-Man storyline in the games.
10:01 I think you got your hopes up for Sandman (he did everything he needed to do), but yeah, the Spider-Verse side mission's ending was a letdown. As for me, or at least what I've seen, the symbiote invasion rips off Web of Shadows' entire plot while refusing to dive into the complexity of the Venom lineage, Klyntar diaspora, and - above all else, seeing as the game references him multiple times - Knull (bonus: th-cam.com/video/TOfrPdJr8Zk/w-d-xo.html ); and I'm sad that Miles didn't get the symbiote treatment Insomniac said Peter would get (refer to my comment on the discussion starting at 8:01), though I understand if Miles didn't need it.
16:28 They could have done a better Anti-Venom Spider suit; the lenses are ripped off of the Anti-Ock suit - which rips off the Raimi lenses - and they don't express like the symbiote suits' eyes. As for the use of black, I don't know what to think beyond it doesn't feel exactly like Anti-Venom.
i think of miles's new suit had his original mask on without the hair, and the hood on, it would be perfect
Psm I am begging you to talk about all of the suits and maybe do a rating of them/ranking?
bro same I was struggling on regular difficulty compared to the previous games.
They had achieved perfection with the focus/healing/finishers/abilities system in Spider-Man Miles Morales. Why'd they ruin it?!
I actually hate the exclusion of some of the gadgets like the Trip Mine or Impact Web. They make sense for stealth sections and Spider-Man would most definitely have a fucking Impact Web switch on his web shooters. Also, this is literally the only game where the Concussion Blast actually makes sense because it's not even a Concussion Blast for the later half of the game.
You give me angry video game nerd vibes with the script and delivery 😂
Miles classic suit is beauty. Its perfection especially insomaniac one. But the new suit sucks.

oh boy another one, peter is not passing the torch, peter is spider-man and miles is spider-man, peter finally taking a break doesn't make him not spider-man nor is miles taking peter's place as spider-man because they're both spider-man
10:13 when u break the crystals, the sound is SOOOO GOOOODD

you are probably one of the few reviewers i would trust on spider-man stuff
Odd how no popular reviewers talk about the bugs glitches and crashes of this game but there is a plethora of videos show casing all these things. Me and my 2 friends all had crashes in the game too... Never happened with the first game.
I think if the evolved suit had webbing on the mask and just had the miles black and red it would be far better it’s not the word for even bad it’s too bland? Mabye this will be like advanced suit where in next game they make it a lot better due to feedback
Yeah it also seems kinda forced on in the story witch I did not like
@@TheRed_wing it IS forced its serves NO story purpose and it just seems like Insomniac let their EGO get ahead of them and wanted to make an iconic Miles suit...and FAILED miserably💀😭.
Wouldve been better if Peter beat Miles in their fight and his suit got destroyed and Miles makes a newer suit to better accomodate his new powers. Gives the suit meaning to the the narrative and actual PURPOSE😂🤷♂️
@@no.1spidey-fan182 I do think giving him a new suit wasn't a bad idea but it just comes out of the blue if he was making it though the game and his main suit got destroyed like u said it would be alot better
This game is the best game but I’ve experienced a lot of bugs and glitches. One some voice lines and sounds don’t play in a cutscene or during in gameplay, two I’ve been fighting the SAME FUCKING ENEMY FACTION AND I HAVEN’T SEEN THE NORMAL CRIMINALS AND THE CULTISTS!! I’ve also experienced some funny glitches.
I absolutely love your point about the L1 abilities and the symbiote and how that could’ve been a slight missed opportunity
The physics changed in SM2 BTW with or without swing assist. Spider-Man feels heavier & gravity is much more realistic.
Idk if I can take these combat complaints seriously after seeing him get clapped that bad on amazing difficulty 💀
15:58 I find it funny that the game pretty much ends off the same way the writers from the ‘90s wanted to retire Peter. Just replace Ben Riley with Miles
Miles was my favorite part. I played as him as much as I could and switched it up with Peter for his side quests and whatnot.
I did a one and then the other thing… which led to me completing Miles side quest trees while every time I’d switch to Peter, the thing I had to do was a main story mission cause the story puts so much focus on him. I do wish it was more even but the story does feel like it’s trying to correct for this whenever they actually focus on Miles, so I don’t hate it
the ability thing is kinda silly cuz you dont need to scramble your eyes around the ui because the gadgets never change slots and you could just like
yk, memorize them
also yeah the gadgets in this game suck ass i guess the web grabber is ok though
The swinging has been majorly improved, but I truly hope Insomniac considers upgrading the parkour system for the inevitable 3rd game. I had high hopes for parkour after the 2016 reveal trailer and was really underwhelmed by the execution. Firstly it should be a different button than R2, cause it makes mixing parkour with swinging too clunky. Secondly, I'd prefer if it was more involving than "run and hold the trigger". This could be achieved by an alternative button layout that you can switch on and off with the d-pad or something.
I'm already imagining a side mission where a guy at the park wants to shoot a short film for a school project, and Spidey agrees to showcase his parkour abilities. Also this improved parkour could really spice up stealth levels as well
42 spider bots could be a reference to earth 42
Imagine if the iron spider had repulse her jet boosters come out of the arms and legs as a unique web wing ability. It would still play the exact same, it’s not like it would give you the power of flight, but it would give the illusion that Peter is flying through the air. Combine that with the wind tunnels and you might as well be flying
