Spider-Man 2 is coming, what do you want to see from it? Spoilers

LifeLine · Sep 13, 2018

With the ending teases, sales numbers, and various interviews Spider-Man 2 is a given. Where do you want to see the series go from here? Where can it improve and what should it change?

My Suggestion:

Let Villains Roam the Streets

Coolest non-story moment of the game was when Taskmaster showed up after completing a couple challenges. You were just going about swinging and all of a sudden you get trapped and are forced to fight him. If you kick him off the roof, the battle continues on the streets of New York. It was one of the funnest boss fights in the game and we need more of it. The next game should have have a bunch of C-List to D-List villains that you can randomly encounter and fight. Not as side quests, but just as random encounters.

Imagine Hammerhead and his goons robbing a Kingpin safehouse as you're swinging through the city. Or even have more famous villains like Rhino charging through times square.

Less Non-Spidey Characters in the main story

Even though i dreaded starting the Miles and MJ missions, I ended up enjoying them when I played them. It was cool to hide from Rhino as Miles and look through Osborn's personal life as you explored his pent house as MJ. But I hope for the next game, they are less prevalent or moved to side missions. Like have MJ have her own plot line semi-related to the main story and have all her missions as a side quest.

From the main story I guess I expected big blockbuster Spidey moments and boss fights, and the stealth missions were in turn not very exciting.

Unique side missions.

You mean Marvel Spider Man 2.

Spider-Man 2 is out. :>

Neoxon · Sep 13, 2018

More unique side missions, have us be allowed to fight more villains in the overworld, include the Baxter Building now that the Fox ban is over (explain it away as it being in another dimension during the events of the first game), have other heroes show up (Ex: Daredevil, Iron Man, Human Torch, Wolverine, etc.), and allow us to switch between Peter & Miles at any time.

Hell, just call the sequel "Marvel's Spider-Men".

They referenced Hammerhead enough that I suspect he'll be included in the Turf Wars DLC

I like the roaming villains idea

Nakenorm · Sep 13, 2018

Daredevil.
Mysterio.

More recognizable characters in sidemissions.
I don't need every side mission to lead into a boss fight. But if a random citizen is gonna ask me to do something, I'd rather it be someone like Flash Thompson or Betty Brant.

FakePlasticTree · Sep 13, 2018

Give me side missions ala

somethnig like the one with Tombstone

generally featuring Spider-Man's rogues gallery. I like that they made most of the side activities like the stuff by Harry at least be varied. Like you're not repeating the same activity outside of the crime stuff. Do it like Arkham City, where you even had cool easter eggs like the stuff with Calendar Man. and you could interact with the villains in jail and their dialogue would change based on the progress of the story.

Deleted member 13364 · Sep 13, 2018

A number of smaller, diverse open areas rather than a single, pretty boring city.

Better swinging and better side missions

Spidey usually stays within Manhattan, unless you want the next game to take a cue from Far From Home & have Peter go to Europe.

A campaign playable by Spider-Man or Venom.

The impossible dream: Complete the game with either one and unlock Green Goblin as a playable character for the campaign.

It's probably gonna be Peter & Miles for the next game given how the first game ends.

Having villians in the city that you can encounter and catch and then visit in prison would be so cool.

I didn't have a problem with the side missions. I liked helping the average joe new yorker. Like the husband that was helping out the bank robbers. But they definitely need more meatier stuff alongside that.

Nailed it. The side missions in Spider-Man are not good. I would like to see the puzzle elements reworked, if they have to be in the game it would be nice if they were at least interesting or fun.

Now that the Fox ban is out of the picture, they can go crazy with characters like Human Torch & Wolverine alongside MCU characters like Iron Man & Daredevil, as I mentioned in my original post as one of my desires for the sequel.

Manhattan again would be so disappointing. It's just not interesting as an open world you spend most of your time above. GIve me a massive jungle or something.

Symbiote suit for Spider-Man.
Kraven, Goblin, Venom, Morbius and Lizard.
Daredevil making a full blown cameo.
Half the story is Miles, the other half is Peter's, seamless character switching similar to GTA5.
Any of the Spider-Girls.
Dynamic Weather, and add rain during nighttime and snow during both nighttime/daytime!

Maybe they can let us go to upstate New York to the New Avengers Facility or to Manchester for the Xavier Institute.

No collectables and more side quests like the Tombstone one. Just generally remove all the open world filler crap and put in good stuff.

I'd ask for Spider-Gwen, but her VA from the current cartoon (Laura Bailey) is already Mary Jane (for reference, the current cartoon is where Miles' VA is pulled from). I suppose they could get Dove Cameron for Gwen, but I'm not sure if she would come in for a video game.

FakePlasticTree · Sep 13, 2018

Speaking of Tombstone, I really like how his boss fights felt like something out of the Souls series, it was generally challenging too alongside Taskmaster. More bossfights like that. I also enjoyed the tag-teaming duel in the air with Electro and Vulture.

Calendar Man was pretty unique in Arkham City, on top of him having unique dialogue throughout the game and even with Catwoman, his gimmick regarding holidays actually affects the game depending upon the real time date which was really cool. Don't know Spider Man's rogue's gallery as well as I do Batman but I could probably see some potential there. But if you could interact with the villains more outside of the story that'd be cool. It's not like you have to use major antagonists for the side missions but a bit more wouldn't hurt.

souppboy · Sep 13, 2018

Have both Miles and Peter be playable Spidermen. Have them each have their own story missions and be allowed to play as either in the open world. I want to see Miles learning who he is and how to be Spiderman. So for the first like half the game or a little less, you play only as Miles. This is because Peter retains all his powers from the first game, and outside of maybe an opening mission or so, you have to come to terms with Miles' power difference. Then, narratively as we see Miles gain confidence and get a grip on his powers, Peter becomes playable. Or use Peter to juxtapose Mile's newness to being a hero.

In the same vein, allow peter to be a scientist. Maybe Parker Industries opens, and while Miles is between story missions, let us do science stuff as Peter and explore that side of him, maybe working with Osborn to help Harry or something.

It would get tiring to have every game in the series take place in NYC. Would switching to another big city really have much of a difference? It would still feel pretty samey.

The answer is to change the weather

Spider-Man 2: Winter

Spider-Man 3: Fall

etc.

This, please. These are absolutely awful and serve almost no purpose at all. The information they carry could be done in a 30 second cutscene. They're literally just there to slow the player down.

Also, I'd add customizable costumes. That sounds dope.

AlexxKidd · Sep 13, 2018

I'm of the mind that we let Insomniac bask in the glory of this magnificent win (game hasnt even been out a week), before we start barking about the second one. There could even be more DLC in the works (Spidey has no shortage of stories to tell) beyond the three announced for all we know.

That said i will play along: Eddie Brock, Venom, and the alien symbiote suit. I'll even take the black non-symbiote suit.

Lol. They could get anyone voice actress for her, but I'm more interested in Anya Corazon, but yeah, if they're getting a Spider-Girl it's gonna be Spider-Gwen for sure due to her popularity.

Oh yeah, I definitely believe that Parker Industries will becomes a thing in the sequel. To be honest, the company beginning as an upstart company was exactly what I wanted in the comics.

Add Venom and make free roam have a similiar mechanic to Majima Everywhere from Yakuza Kiwami until Venom is dealt with. Venom should feel threatening and him stalking you and ambushing you out of nowhere would make for some interesting and scary moments due to spider sense not working on him.

Also make him playable if possible.

Totally! And the fact that Miles and Peter are on the same level with tech means they could work togeher. Their relationship could be dramatic with the worlds of work and spider man clashing. Give me that sweet workplace drama!

Miles would probably be an intern at best unless there's a time-skip for Spider-Men (you're welcome to take the name for the sequel, Insomniac).

I think this could be really cool.

They can even have you play as both Miles and Peter (while he is the man spider) so you would get traditional Spidey gameplay with Miles and Man Spider game play with Peter and one of the main goals of the game (for the first half atleast) is Peter trying to find a cure for the mutation.

It should take place during christmas. Start the game around the days right before it, midpoint christmas, end the game at new years eve.
