None of the above?

I think Miles is an anomoly because of the dev time and next gen launch.

Otherwise, I foresee Spider-Man 2 and then a few years later, Spider-Man 3.

I really hope it'd be Spider Gwen. Really love her character, especially in Spiderverse.

Venom would be pretty rad. Someone more unexpected like Superior Spiderman would be pretty cool.

TBH though it would be neat to get someone like Black Cat, Daredevil or Moon Knight. Someone who's common in Spider-man Media but not actually Spider-powered. I'm sure that would complicate the rights though.

To be honest, I'm surprised that Venom isn't number 1 in votes. Next time I see someone downplaying Gwen's popularity, I'll show them this lol

I know they won't take a drastic tonal change with something like a Venom or Carnage M-rated game, but boy would I love it. Something akin to Prototype sounds amazing

Realistically they're going to do a female MC, which is likely to be Spider Gwen.

Miles is rad because his power set allows for new gameplay

Venom would be one hell of a tone change and be incredibly cool to control.

Gwen would be cool in that she would require an entire new open world area to fit with her lore (unless we going full Spider-verse)

Hmm interesting, never saw Spider-Girl either :p

looks like I have some reading to catch up on!

I mean, it's not really surprising, she pretty much became a non-character who only appears in spider-verse type of events in the comics. And even then, she doesn't have much to do or say. She was a main character in the latest cartoon but honestly, that's more of a last spark kind of thing.
There's been a lot of Spider-Girls but they all faded into obscurity apart from Gwen, at least for now.

Mayday Parker is long gone and only appears on Spider-verse events, just like Anya Corazon.
Silk is still around as a side-character in some comics but she hasn't had a solo run since 2017, so she's slowly fading too. She could get a resurgence with the Sony show, if it ever gets made.
Ghost-Spider/Spider-Gwen is still kicking however, she was created the same year as Silk but she's doing a much better job, appearing in tons of Marvel cartoons and games and she's still getting her own comics, so that's good. Here's hoping that she's finally the one who gets to stay.

Miles actually had a very successful movie though, might be a stretch to expect them to move on to some of these other characters.

Anyone who didnt pick Miguel is wrong.

2099 is best Spiderman! Lol.

Also... i already made a Spider-gwen game for my wife... (i redrew a skottie young cover as pixel art and made an entire mock-genesis game for her... just to go with these custom shoes i painted)

I originally thought Spider Gwen, as I really liked what they did with her in the film. So having her characterisation in the game would be good.

But then, I figured her gameplay would be fairly similar to Peters and Miles. Venom has a better chance of creating a different brawny fight dynamic to the combat, plus the Symbiote would create better opportunities for gameplay.

Venom is cool, but he's pretty hard to do right as the main protagonist.

I guess I'd pick 2099. Not very likely we'll ever see that game, but a futuristic setting could be interesting.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, if Spider-Man 2 is gonna have an emphasis on the symbiote & Venom, they could have Gwen be in full control of the symbiote alongside timing-based abilities (given her being in a band).

I'd want a Ghost Spider game more for the setting than any crazy differences in playstyle. Gwen's universe has characters with pretty different backgrounds. I'd love to see some crazy boss fights and levels.

Would be a good compromise. I just figured as the combat is a large part of the game, having a heavy hitter would make it more varied than the more nimble spider heroes.

Also, the idea that Eddie is considered an anti-hero who embraces his darker side, again gives it a different dynamic to the current playable characters.

I post this once a month, but its what I'd love to see...

Peter Parker(2018) > Miles Morales(2020) > Peter/Miles > Gwen > Peter/Miles/Gwen.

or the third proper game could be Gwen/Miles fighting a symbiote Peter/Venom.

I want Silk but there's no timeline where she gets anything before Gwen does

Venom would be awesome. By game no4 things are gonna get a little stale if you don't put something different in there. Playing as an anti-hero character and going around killing the bad guys would be pretty fun.
