Spider-Man Miles Morales Game Informer Details

Oh, shit so this is Spider-Man 2! What does a bit shorter mean though? They originally compared this to Uncharted LL which was half or so the length of Uncharted 4, mind you Uncharted 4 was a lot of bullshit filler so, this might be more substantial I hope.

Updated the OP with 1 more story related thing that a lot of people were curious about. Don't read unless you beat Marvel's Spider-Man and the DLC's and you want to know why Peter isn't always around in the new game.
After the opening sequence Peter tells Miles Mary Jane is going to Symkaria and that he will be joining her as the photographer
For clarity: all of Manhattan is there again (with some new additions etc... and changes from the last year of in-world time).
The particular focus was on Harlem / Miles's neighborhood.

I know, I'm messing around. I think this Miles recently moved to Harlem anyways.
If I had to guess based on what has been revealed so far "a bit shorter" probably means around the same length as the original game without the MJ/Miles stealth missions.

Curious. Was the Spider-App there from the beginning or did you guys change that from something else mid-development?
Kinda curious but why'd you change her from a doctor to a teacher?

Combat Details:
-Hold L1 to charge the Venom in Miles
-While holding L1, each face button when tapped has a different move
-All the Venom attacks cause Venom Stun to enemies and they are more vulnerable to attacks in this state
-Venom isn't unlimited and is built up like Peter's focus meter
-Describes the sensation of charging the venom attack as building up in the left side of the Dual Sense controller and then flows to the right side and rumbles again when you push a face button
-Miles has his own set up gadgets and they are used just like in the first game
-Able to perform stealth takedowns from ceilings and walls now
-Can also reset stealth encounters after being seen by using Miles' Camouflage ability, enemies will then become frightened and fire wildly into the air and try to flush him out with grenades
-Some enemies are able to see you even when camouflaged

It means the mechanic feels as good during gameplay, but the animation shows how he's not as experienced as Peter yet.
If you haven't seen Into the Spider-verse yet you should definitely watch it. This makes sense after watching the film.
Huh. I always assumed it was the same as the comics.To be fair, she was a teacher in the first game too.
Why are you asking? Are you a cop? You're legally required to tell me if you're a cop or not.
If what happens is larger and crazier, isn't Miles "the real" and established Spider-Man after the game ends? Like, wouldn't Peter be old news then? 🤔
Cool that you fleshed out Harlem some more. It already felt pretty accurate the first time, but more focus on it can't hurt! I hope you guys can squeeze in Queens and/or Brooklyn for SM2. Queens was my neighborhood and I would love to see how your team would tackle webslinging in a much "shorter" part of NYC.
Anyone know what the exact quote from GI was? Not doubting OP, this is super exciting, just curious.
Wait, the first one had so fucking many 1:1 real suits from comics and movies, which was f'n amazing.
Why does the suit list here sounds like they pulled an "Square Enix's Avengers"?
That scares me.

I'd assume that comparison was an analogy as in "MM is to Spiderman as LL was to Uncharted," which is not to say MM would be the same length as LL, just that's it's a bit smaller than the main entry that preceded it. Being an open world, MM stands to be substantially longer than LL while still coming in shorter than Spiderman.
Miles A) hasn't been around as long as Peter and B) doesn't have as many distinctive canon suit designs because of his relative "youth".
It's perfectly fine that they're dipping into variant covers for more alternative designs. It lets them flex their creativity with a character who doesn't have 60 years of history behind him.
I have to assume there will be more stealth missions. One of Miles core differentiating powers is stealth based. Maybe that will be enough of a change though for people that did not like them in the first game.

Lol didn't get why people were so sure about this game being "dlc". That last showing didn't look that they were holding back or making a small game.
Love the christmas vibes and can't wait to explore Harlem. And getting hyped by all this "setpiece" talk, Insomniac going larger and crazier is music to my ears.

As a Harlem native, really interested in seeing how it's fleshed out here. I did enjoy seeing reasonable facsimiles of some familar places, like 110th & Central Park North and the Esplanade Gardens-esque apartment complex.
Nah, this is a standalone expansion like Lost Legacy. Spider-Man 2 will come after.
Balls, completely forgot that!
I'm really glad to hear that there will be more and bigger set-pieces. It was one of my only complaints about the first one.
Eh, keep the expectations in check, this ain´t Spider-Man 2, this is more like a spinoff to the 2018 game.
even in the short gameplay segment it was obvious that there are a lot of reused animations, mechanics and assets.
this is basically "more of the same" in a snowy x-mas setting but shorter-which is not a bad thing at all.
According to How Long to Beat Uncharted 4 has an average completion time of 15 hours for a regular playthrough while The Lost Legacy is 7. Spider-Man is a little over 16 hours, so going by that logic this game should be 8-9 hours long with some additional playtime if you want to collect/do everything on the map.
