Hiding Doc Ock like he is some secret reminds me of the Arkham Origins pre release marketing trying to push who the new big bad guy was.

Spoilers. it was the Joker. /Spoilers

They one-upped that tomfoolery with the next game trying to pretend the Arkham Knight was a totally brand name original character and not Jason Todd like everyone called right away.

No Superior suit? What the fuck.

Ock is in the game and they didn't include the Superior suit. Whyyyyy.
Well, there is hope:
No you won't they are hidden until you are high enough level
Hopefully I'm correct in thinking that there are more suits than what that leaked picture shows.

Hopefully...maybe in the DLC also :)

[*Fingers crossed for TASM 2, Raimi, Superior, Future Foundation, etc.*]

So we get to be Gwen Stacy in the Ghost Spider suit? Complete with voice overs?

lol, my Raimi suit prediction was wrong. It's alright though, the movie suits arent really great outside of being in the movies

Doctor Octopus is one of the biggest villains Spider-man and is way up there alongside Norman Osbourne. If he is the main villain I for one will love it. Better him than Venom or Carnage, one mediocre villain and one awful villain....no thanks.
Thats the issue though, for a game like this you basically have to have Goblin or Ock.
We know Norman is in but doesn't seem to be Goblin currently.
Its such a base level requirement that the fact that he was hidden seems ridiculous personally.
Especially when you basically have the Sinister 6 already revealed and set up completely in the E3 trailer,

Personally Venom/symbiote, or something like Harry Goblin are worthy of the huge secrecy


My worry from that though is if its worthy of that much secrecy the story will essentially be "OH MY GOD IT WAS DOC OCK ALL ALONG!!!!"
with literally everyone saying "we know"

Honestly it feels a bit like The Arkham Knight but at least Ock wasn't presented as a new hype character.

Doc Oc makes an appearance early and he's hinted at in the book. I dont think it's meant to be a shock in game to the player, just to Peter

12 hours for the main story sounds great, I'd be totally fine with it. Better than dragging on and on with padding. There'll be plenty of other things to do as well

I don't think the symbiote suit will be DLC honestly. I think it will play a major role in the next game.

How soon do we unlock the homecoming suit? Can I use the classic suit right away after beating the opening?

I'm a tad sick of Doc Ock due to the sheer exposure he gets (like becoming the freaking main character for a time) but he makes perfect sense as the first major villain in a new Spider-Man franchise.
This game even being in the vague orbit of Slott's run guarantees that Ock will be PETER'S GREATEST NEMESIS ™. You learn to live with it.

I'm really hoping that if the Green Goblin doesn't make an appearance in the main game, that he'll be in one of the DLC's. That would make it the perfect villain balance for me.

That's another villain that's too much for DLC.

DLC villains are like Mysterio or something. Green Goblin, Venom shouldnt be reserved for short side content

I'm not gonna be disappointed that certain suits don't make it in, I don't expect them to get every one's personal favorite one.

Wish the Rami suit was there, I know it's not well liked among big Spider-Man fans but I love it
