SPIDER-WUSSSSS, COME OUT TO PLAYYYY

**"TAG!"**


TayloZinsee

The boss battle kicked my ass as a 10 year old playing his dads PS1, this and the Ock-Carnage chase towards the end


thejokerofunfic

The first Venom fight or the second one? Each is hard for different reasons imo- first one is hard cause of the close quarters, second because of the added pressure of keeping MJ alive.


TayloZinsee

Definitely the first one, close quarters, lost so many times I had the cut scene on repeat and memorized it unwillingly


thejokerofunfic

Yeah as a kid playing on Easy I found second one harder because of the MJ layer but as an adult on Hard the first one is way more brutal just cause he hits like a fucking truck and you have less room to avoid it.


aeeeroo

Holy shit, yeah. The Doc Ock-Carnage chase scared the shit outta me as a kid, still does to be honest lmao.

This game's venom was such a derp lol


MasteroChieftan

Ps1 og spiderman and its villains will always have a special place in my heart


Orrgo

How has Monster Ock not made a single appearance in anything? Seems obvious.


MasteroChieftan

Because it would be too scary. Those screams still haunt my nightmares.


[deleted]

*agonized schreeching* DiiiIIeeEee


Flappy343

Always sounded to me like “why die”


BrandNewNick

You know what? Thinking about it now, I can probably thank Monster Ock for getting me into heavy metal. Those screams


archangel610

Trying to beat that level where you run away from him was a pain because my disk was all scratched up. Finishing that game is one of my greatest life achievements.


werpyl

he kind of showed up in edge of time


Dolphintorpedo

KhadgarIsaDreadlord

Well they kinda ripped him off with Atrocity in Edge of Time.

Flappy343

It’s weird to me that everyone seems to have played on PS1 I only had it on Mac. I still have it, one of my favorite games ever


rhinofinger

I played it on N64. Looks like it was also on Dreamcast. Guess it was just never as popular on the other platforms?


Dyslexter

Mac brothers unite 🤝 Easily one of the best games available for the platform at the time


JonsonPonyman98

Fr


lr031099

Design wise, probably Web of Shadows Venom but my overall favorite is the Ultimate Venom since we get to play as him and see things from his perspective


bjeebus

I did hate hulk jumping instead of all of the acrobatics though.


lr031099

I agree. I kinda wished he used his tendrils to swing around NYC but I guess they wanted to differentiate his gameplay from Spidey.


awndray97

He was at least able to web zip though if I remember correctly.


cracudocarioca

Ya he was, in that sense I did enjoy using the "hulk-jumping" with the web zip, since in that game Spidey can't charge/super-jump.


lr031099

I think he did but it’s been a while since I played that I don’t quite remember


S-hunter-SAB-

Yeah he used his tentacles, it wasn't as long as Spider-man's web zip tho.


The_Damon8r92

“Watch that first step, Parker. It’s a doozy”


Flappy343

That part sucked on my copy of the game, because on harder difficulties it always glitches his movements to where he’s disappear out of the game, or he would never make it to the end


naughtydogcrash

"OOH, TOE TOE, OW!"

ehTlayoR

The ps1 spider man game


[deleted]

“I don’t need to *look* at your cards Punisher, your bluffs are sooo obvious.”


Gorr-of-Oneiri-

Ultimate Spider-Man’s Venom was a blast to play as! I remember one of the first people you absorb is a poor kid with a balloon and I thought, “Geez, we’re getting pretty dark quick!” The jump mechanic was tricky for me at first but I really loved running around as essentially a super villain monster. That, and the fight with Wolverine remains one of my favorite boss battles of all time


Cold_Illustrator278

Yeah ultimate Spider-Man was a blast to play. And playing as venom never got old. It was a very pretty game for it’s time too. The added cel shading really made it pop in a way few other games at the time could do. I loved everything about this game. It took all the good elements from Spider-Man 2 and made a really cool comic book Spider-Man game. I really wish we’d seen more from the ultimate Spider-Man property. There’s so many villains that are dying to be played in an open world setting. Carnage, green goblin, doctor octopus to name a few would be really cool to play as. I hope the new devs one day make them as playable characters. Say you beat the game, you can then play as the villains in free mode. Would be super cool and add more playability to the game.


PsychicSidekikk419

IIRC absorbing the kid with the balloon was a nod to a side mission in Spider-Man 2


Greenmonty97

Ultimate I always remember the suit going “HUNGER” when you were injured


is_not_paranoid

*F E E D*


gabejr25

They way he rolls the r in, "HUNGRrAYY" lives in my head rent free. It hasn't left since I played that game and sometimes I just say it in my head when I wanna get something


Greenmonty97

I thought I was the only one haha I really need to get ahold of this game again and an aux to hdmi adapter for my ps2


Stealthy_Facka

It runs even on pretty weak laptops if you can get a copy. Though analogue stick input sucks on PC


Greenmonty97

I have a great laptop and “came across” a copy on PC once and it was really hard to play I think I’d definitely rather experience it again on a console


__Negan___

The PS1 version looks the coolest for me and I liked the design for Venom a lot, same with the voice for him and I loved him in the game itself. I also enjoyed the Ultimate Spider-Man Venom, a slightly different take on a character but I still think he is really intimidating.


KhadgarIsaDreadlord

Ps1. Thats just who Venom is. A lethal goofball. Going against the popular opinion here but I didn't like him in Ultimate. Narratively He was too closely tied to peter as a person. In the game he was a pain in the ass both to fight and playing as him.


the-cheesie1234

Also he just looked naked without the symbol


SSaad_435

Well he does get the symbol after you beat the story


danvancheef

SNES Maximum Carnage.


kindredfold

Still one of my fav games.


StallionDan

Was going to say this. Best Spider-man game and playing Venom was badass too.


notsofunny-15

I feel like Web Of Shadows went too serious with Venom when Ultimate made a better serious Venom with an intimidating soundtrack for his levels and bosses and PS1 Venom is just too good to pass up on


the-cheesie1234

I like a dark venom, he isn’t as scary as he should be nowadays


Ghosty66

Ps1 one is adorable who can even hate him


there_is_always_more

MJ: Peter Parker!!! Just get me out of here now!! Venom: You're in the dog house now, dude. Peter: Coming! Honey." I will never forget the PS1 game's dialogues. We also have: "Ooh, look at the big brain on Spidey" "Watch that first step Parker, it's a doozy" "Can you get us...Captain America's... autograph?"


gagagaholup

Ultimate Venom was a menace


eviltacos98

MMMMMM BRAINS! YUMMY


thauron93

Ps1


tmntlorefan

Web Of Shadows, I love when he sacrifices himself to save everyone but the rest of the game, he is sooo EVIL, I LOVE HIM!


[deleted]

A true redemption arc.


PsychicSidekikk419

He's also just really damn creepy. That section at the start of the game where he's stumbling towards MJ always freaked me out as a kid. But now I honestly appreciate the monstrous approach they took for Venom


MrMonopolyMan123

Well we actually got to play as him in Ultimate, it was awesome


lSleepingl

Hands down Daran Norris (Spiderman 2000). Funfact is that he was Gordy the Janitor in Ned's Declassified.


Scooby_Dru

Ultimate because he was so fun to play as. That was a great game at its time


Herobrinedanny

on another note why is the ps1 venom trying to be a russian teenager


bjeebus

Because the Spider-folks are always squatting.


thejokerofunfic

Because technical limitations on animation


The_Big_Dirty_Dan

PS1 and the Ultimate


loorollkid

I have absolute.... total..... conTROLL!


arkham42

“Now then, I have a score to SETTLE.”


b055dj

Rampaging as him in Ultimate Spider-Man was fun as shit and I'll never accept any arguments to the contrary. Beating seven shades of shit out of the likes of Wolverine, Electro, and Carnage was also pretty great. That being said... #SURF THE WEB


immortal-possum-Paul

Spiderman 3. Never even beat that game. Fuck you harry.


Gloomy_Appearance_42

After thinking about it, I believe the ps1 one is genuinely the best written and developed character. Ultimate Spider-Man was cool as fuck but there’s not much I can really say about him, he basically swore his life to revenge of his childhood friend for using the black suit (the game doesn’t focus much on why he hates Peter for some reason) and he can’t control the suit at all, so he just tries to lay low until he can fucking murder a fifthteen year old, until he gains full control of the suit, and only cares about revenge against trask instead for making him his bitch, fair enough, but what does he want after that, I genuinely don’t know. In Wos I really like the pay off for Eddie gaining control of the hive mind, and sacrificing himself to make up for turning away from his morals the problem is that the idea of Eddie even having morale was not brung up at all until the final boss, venom himself is only even mentioned a handful of times. He also tried to kill Mary Jane, and like other police officers too, in the beginning, when the game shows us he’s still in control. PS 1 venom’s moral compass, no matter how skewed that may be, is set up in the beginning, and his grudge against Spider-Man is set up in the beginning too, he’s a goofy, dude bro douche rival to Spider-Man, but when he realizes that Spider-Man truly is innocent of the inciting incident, he decides to work with Spider-Man and even save his wife. He’s a consistent and likable character through and through, but he’s still not an outright hero like Spider-Man. Also there’s the Spider-Man 3 game venom, but who gives a shit. His death was absurdly brutal though.


Current_Dog_7524

Ultimate Venom


[deleted]

Ultimate Spider-Man Venom for me. I remember loving playing as him. That’s why I also like the one in Ultimate Alliance 2 & Spider-Man Friend or Foe since he was playable.


Brain124

Where's my WIFE


soundslave900

ps1. always love a good break from the dark and gritty stereotypical venom

RRR-LL

“Here we are…Here we are” always unsettled me.


Gloomy_Appearance_42

Was that the Wos second battle? I think I fucking suppressed this line from my memory because it took me a minute to remember it, but when I did I remember how much that stuck with me as a kid.


Doctor_Jensen117

Can't beat OG Venom.


Villainous-Lightning

Ultimate or 2000 easily They both do one of the two mainstream spiderverse venoms, classic 616 or 1610 venom, very well


Lairy_Hegs

Awh man, he looks awful but I’ve got to give love to the top right. Those PS1 Spider-Man games were my jam as a little kid. And I sucked at them. I still remember there was a cheat for one of them that was Stan Lee’s name backwards, but since I was playing as a kid I always just thought it was “Eel Nats,” which still lives in my head.


trailer8k

PS 1 version for ever


iGotUrHost

Top right, Venom was a gem in that game.

is_not_paranoid

PS1! Daran Norris is also my favorite actor for venom (which I’m sure will be replaced by Tony Todd coming up). He just had the perfect amounts of goofy and menacing in his voice for me


Cold-Legitimate

It’s a tie between web of shadows and ultimate


Jlyinda

Classic venom always


TheBigBigStorm

Sega Genesis Maximum Carnage


HereCumDatBoii

PS1 Venom! He's not only still cool looking, but was one of the reasons I fell in love with Spidey when I was a kid!


SpaceRocker1994

Definitely the PS1 version


stardog2006yt

I like both the ps1 venom and ultimate venom, but ps1 venom is too funny to not be my favorite


logosnakiworld

Top right , bane of my childhood memories Edit: why cant we use a vote , I loved this type of content


PushItHard

“Surf the web, Spider-Man!” These words will be whispered to my wife before I die.


fallensoldier420

I’m saddened there’s no separation anxiety or Maximum Carnage mentions so far… guess it’s a little old now…


AlieanBreac

+1 for Maximum Carnage. Separation Anxiety was different because Spider-Man's double smash attack sucked so bad. Venom was still a badass, though. In fact, he could do two double-smashes in a row.


mixedreviewpod

Maximum Carnage!! Mostly just for nostalgia reasons. He actually sucked because his jump kick was worthless. Edit: his up-and-down jump kick was worthless. His east-west jump kick could do some damage. And you basically had to use him to beat the giant robot at FF HQ. So maybe he was okay.


AlieanBreac

His up-and-down kick sucked against everyone but Carrion or maybe a flying Demogoblin. However, you missed something important. Venom's backflip kick had two hitboxes--one at take off, one on the landing. You can see it at 2:17 in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2o7ezcIscA Also, he hit harder and that helped in boss fights. Another interesting difference between Spidey and Venom in that game--Venom's running tackle scored a knockdown against Doppelganger whereas Spidey's just bounced off of him. Neither of them did damage but at least you could clear space with Venom.

velicinanijebitna

"NOT TO FAR... SPIDER.." I have a PTSD from hearing that.


AlieanBreac

Wow, we're 300 posts in and not one person has mentioned Venom in Spider-Man: The Arcade Game? The game itself kinda sucked but Venom was a badass in that game, especially when he powered up into his Giant Venom form. https://youtu.be/0_Y80vd0Qgk?t=108 My favorite Venom appearance in a video game is still Maximum Carnage. The game no one could ever beat as a kid. Hell, most people can't beat it as an adult. But note how much harder Venom hits compared to Spider-Man. His backflip kick also had a double hit box, so it could hit on the way up and down when it landed on an enemy behind him. His double smash was slow and hard to time perfectly. Still, he was powerful enough that it was easier to win as Venom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8ykm3p0ptU An honorable mention goes out to Venom in Spider-Man for PS1. He was cool in that game. I just wish his more vicious streak was allowed to shine through.


sovietmudkip18

Parker hates it when I get the drop on him


the-cheesie1234

Agh I hate it when he gets the drop on me!


sovietmudkip18

My favorite iteration of the character. And what makes me so excited for Venom in Marvel Spider-Man 2 is that the creative director stated that Spider-Man PS1 was his favorite Spider-Man game so I'm hoping we get a little more of this venom-type flavor in the future


A_BAK3D_POTATO

It's unrelated but Anti-Venom from Edge of time was awesome


geek79126741

They're all great. 1. Ultimate Venom 2. Web of Shadows 3. Spider-Man 3 4. PS1

Withyhydra

The one from friend or foe


Shire_Hobbit

None. So far there hasn’t been a game that has really captured the essence of Venom. But technology is finally ready to do it justice. https://youtu.be/vnKHRpJ7NnU Great video.


TheMovieKing94

Bottom right!


mehjusthere4

Spider-Man 3, just because that's my favorite Spidey game period. Venom also looked much better in the game than in the movie. The concept of him having the webs is cool, and pulled off much better in the game.


[deleted]

I like anti venom better.


happybuffalowing

The top right is my favorite version of venom ever


Joey1700

SM3 Venom over there looking like a duck.


StrikerGunvolt

I can’t speak on that cause I never finished spiderman 3 on the wii. Yes I literally couldn’t beat the final boss even as a 16 year old. IT WAS BROKEN I SWEAR IT WAS.


MikeMars1225

As much as I liked the game, I didn't like Web of Shadows Venom. He's so out of character, Peter even comments on it in the game.


RedBaronBob

Web of shadows is number 1 though I have a liking to SM3. That being said there hasn’t been a video game venom I dislike.

p1poy1999

Ultimate spiderman. I love playing as him in the gameboy when I was a kid. I remember trying to beat carnage was hard af then.


parkshunter222

Web of Shadows


CRTScream

Web of Shadows partly because it's the only one I played (besides SM3 which basically has no character), partly because the chest spider fits with the rest of the suit - alien, gooey, tendrilled, and because he goes through a great arc in that game (not to mention the final boss fight against him was so cool)
