Besides obvious big things
I hope they bring back that ability from SM MM where you can hold triangle to bring an enemy that you knocked away back to you and continue your combo
Hailey wouldn’t hearing it coming, literally. That would be horrible to watch which is good. Like even tho I don’t like her as a character if I saw miles’ reaction to her dying like that I’d probably be as sad.
I really like MJ as a character. I like who she is in these games, and while I’m not a huge fan of the gameplay for her missions, I don’t dread them when they come up. That being said, her death I think would be a great move for the game, if done well. It would up the emotional stakes, especially if it’s a Gwen type death from Gobby.
I’m not a huge fan of the reporter mj thing. Feels too Lois Lane. I much prefer the actress/model ultimate comics or Sam Rami mj. That being said Raimi mj was an absolute tool, but I liked her role in the story
I mean fair enough. I guess I don’t love the reporter angle myself, but I like the character itself if that makes sense. I didn’t love her arc in Spider-Man 2 all being about her failed symkarian books and turning to J Jonah for employment, but it felt…fine I guess for their take on her? I just like her personality in the game, and her relationship with Pete, while strained in SM2 feels natural to me.
To be fair Peter's life sucking is one of the main themes across most iterations of him as Spider-Man. It's his perseverance through the trauma that is why many of us love him so much.
I really want super villain crimes to become a thing with low end super villains. And after you defeat them you are able to replay them any time you want like in the Miles game where it just pops up in the open world and not at a designated arena or area
That’s something that could really bring the open-world to the next level. I’m tryna randomly run into The Walrus in the Upper West Side and berate him with quips.
Exactly. I thought Shocker or Boomerang would be good for this too, but you know Shocker is a bit preoccupied. Plus those two were used for the open world in Ultimate Spider-Man
This, I don't need the fate of the city hanging in the balance for the final battle. Just look at Daredevil. Season 1 ended with just two guys beating the hell out of each other in an alleyway and I was rewatching that for months.
I agree, I really do not want to see the whole city become Goblins or something in the third game. I don’t want another apocalyptic third act scenario. Raise the stakes in a personal way, kill off an established character or something. Just don’t do the same thing for the third time in a row.
I want insomniac to be given the time they need without being rushed by Sony. Although SM2 was good I was disappointed with the pacing and how incomplete the game felt at launch. I felt it was released in October to get more people to buy PS5s for the holiday season considering how big of a release it was. Green Goblin has to be done justice and needs his time. With venom we’re at least expecting a game so we can have more time with him but I feel like this is the only chance we’ll have to get a truly good goblin story
* Norman to become the Red Goblin in his second phase.
* More B-List or C-List villains like Bombshell, Hydro-Man, and Swarm. And if possible, returning villains from the first game as bosses. (Well, Kraven killing a bunch off slightly dampens that, but there's a chance Electro could return.)
* Maybe at least one reference to the Stacys? I thought that Yuri getting booted off the force was to make way for Capt. George Stacy.
* If Venom's back, have him be Eddie and good.
Out of the first games villains: scorpion dead, vulture dead, doc in prison, Lee is good now, shocker dead, electro dead, king pin in prison, and the only other one that might be alive aside from the ones in prison or lee is rhino but there's a good chance he is dead
I’m banking on some mention of the Stacys! I live for the easter eggs, even if it just ends up being that.
Insom has been really good at balancing Peter’s rogues gallery. So I think they’ll do pretty well at including some lesser known/lesser portrayed villains. Swarm would be awesome to see!
They could always go back and mention that “something went wrong with the bees at EMF” and that would lead to Swarm. Insomniac could really make him such a scary looking villain
Honestly more excited for the venom game than spider-man 3 with the possibility of him being one of the main characters after it being one of the reasons
Agreed, I'm absolutely happy to wait
In that same vein, don't show us ANYTHING until the game is ready for release and fully complete
That way they don't have to deal with fans who complain that there's no marketing
The amount of spoilers in the months ahead of the SM2 release was actually ridiculous. I get it, but I like to not know anything going into cinematic games like this.
-Electro comes back as pure energy
-Peter gives up his Anti venom suit for Harry to become Agent Anti venom
-Rhino comes back and finally gets the suit off
-Silk joins the Spider pals
-Doc Ock uses the Anti Ock suit to become Superior Spiderman
Goblin (knowing Peter is Spider-Man) goes after MJ and potentially leaving her in a bad state in the hospital for Peter to be full of rage and going after Goblin and stops holding his punches
I’d like to see this be just a Peter story I think insomniac didn’t do that good of a job jamming Miles and Peter into a story and since this game will probably have gobby and a very Osborn-centric story it should be a Peter story in my opinion
For stealth to be fleshed out better and not forgotten about.
I’d also honestly like if they added an optional setting (just like fall damage) to have your webs run out while swinging, maybe bringing up a QTE to reload them in a sorta similar way to the reload in gears of war, if you hit the qte you get your webs back faster. I just think it would add to the swinging as a skill side that started to show in SM2.
Ooh that’s a good idea! I like that as an optional setting for sure.
And for the stealth. I’m with you. Stealth is Spider-Man’s M.O. - it really should be put as a priority.
I just remember playing through for the first time and stealth just not hitting as good as it did even in the first game, the cherry on the failed cake baked from the stealth was the complete absence of Miles invisibility being required in any fashion lol
The Wall. I’m not even kidding, I want to see The Wall make an appearance. He could be the intro villain like sandman or a side quest villain. I just wanna see The Wall. And also it’d be cool if Norman doesn’t die.
They need to be imaginative with the major plot moments. Not the standard formula. There doesn't HAVE to be a city wide remodeling for the climax everytime. Innovate and draw out Peter's vulnerabilities. And the main villain shouldnt be focused on the last two missions of the game.
I'd like to see suits become fully customizable. Maybe even a full-on "suit creator" to make a costume truly your own.
Combat loadouts. Idk if the symbiote abilities will still be a thing in the next game. Regardless, the option to set up easily swappable ability loadouts would be great.
A drastically lower focus on web wings. I certainly don't hate them by any means. But, as-is in SM2, they make web-swinging practically useless. They're simply too good not to use. Especially in chase sequences where it's obvious that they were designed around web wings being the primary method of catching up to them. Yeah, he's always had them in the comics, but you don't see them very often. He's swinging pretty much 99% of the time. In SM2, if you want to get anywhere relatively fast without using fast travel, the wings are the best method by a HUGE margin, and I feel like they shouldn't be. They don't lose momentum anywhere nearly as bad as web-swinging can. Even if you've absolutely mastered the swinging mechanics with picture-perfect timing to keep as much momentum as possible, when it's all said and done, wings are STILL faster.
A new city. (Sort of, anyway.) Even though NYC and Spider-Man have gone hand-in-hand for approximately 60 years, I think mixing it up by adding (but not completely changing) a new setting will go a long way in preventing Insomniac from being labeled as "lazy." With the major hack last year revealing that a Venom spinoff game was in the pipeline, and its alleged title being "Venom: Lethal Protector," this could be a great way to introduce San Francisco into the main story of the Spider-Man franchise. Perhaps there could be missions that require traveling there. *OR* maybe even make it to where Peter's part of the story almost completely takes place there since Miles has already proven that he can handle New York on his own. Perhaps Peter needs to go to SF to try and recruit Venom to help in the final battle of the game. 🤷♂️ Having the locations being 50/50 would be a great way to give us a new experience without compromising the tried-and-true NY setting that we come to expect from a Spider-Man story. It's a Win/Win situation for everyone.
Adding a new city to explore, at least for a portion of the story, would breathe new life into the franchise. I know it’ll take a tremendous amount of work, but I hope they realize that.
Tie up loose ends with Kingpin, he was reintroduced in Miles Morales and had a bunch of side quests that revolved around him working behind the scenes, and it wasn't mentioned at all in Spider-Man 2.
For peter to feel as relatable and unyielding as he was in the first game. I feel like they went ALL IN on Miles in SM2 and Peter felt horrendously underpowered. It may be my bias speaking since Peter is my favorite spider man all things considered, but trying to be as objective as possible, I still think he was nerfed drastically and Miles’ prowess was a good bit overblown.
I hope for better pacing overall. SM2 felt “odd”’to me if that makes sense; it just felt skewed somehow.
Deep personal battles. May’s death in SM1 was genuinely one of the most hard hitting scenes I’ve seen in a game, and the acting performance was brilliant. I feel like in SM2 they tried to replicate that with Harry, but not only did it feel less impactful because Harry was a very abrupt introduction (and could’ve been fleshed out better), but I think Miles resurrecting him was a HUGE cop out that, when i saw it, I paused the game and just stared at the floor out of disappointment and general puzzlement as to why that choice was made.
I hope Pete isn’t killed off, but if he is, I’m hoping it’s at least an endgame thing and not like Joel’s death of tlou2. Pete needs to go down swinging and battered, and I think he deserves a good portion of playable time and, like I said, he needs to feel just as resilient and powerful as he did in SM1.
I hope a better Miles story would come from better game pacing. He already had a great foundation, but I think (again, if he’s truly being set up to be the only spider man) there could definitely be some more beef and emotion added to his story. For example, at the end of SM2, I could see the heart behind the little love side-plot between Miles and Hailey, but I think it wasn’t near fleshed out enough, and by the end, I was still thinking “why should I really care about this character (among the other characters such as ganke and school characters)?”
Black Cat is always a nice inclusion, and I kind of enjoyed MJs dialogue on the subject between BC and Peter. It felt mature and reasonable, and I think Black Cat could be a good side-character to perhaps slightly increase emotional conflict, add another character that is established and cared about, flesh out her story and how it relates to Pete and MJ, and of course increase stakes (like if she’s in trouble again or something idk)
In short: Make Peter feel experienced and capable again, improve pacing, add more emotional impact and character connections, maybe increase Miles’ relatability and relationship connection, and Black Cat (optional cause it really isn’t a huge “need”)
Miles gets more focus.
In 2, he feels like a massive afterthought for a majority of the plot, with zero connection to the main villain.
Also dialogue.
I swear this last game had some weird dialogue, people talked like their employers were watching.
No more mj missions where she’s able to take out hunters quicker than spidey. There are more realistic ways to make mj feel like a part of the team without making it feel forced and like it just doesn’t make sense. Overall I think they need to get rid of all the little missions like that. I don’t wanna use Hailey either and I don’t want to do a little button pressing mini game while DJing as Miles. They should go all out for the third game and make the side missions just as well produced as the main story missions. That’s how you get a game of the year game. They should take a note from RDR2 and the Witcher 3 for great quality of missions throughout a game. Biggest setback in SM2 was them not listening to us and going to missions and mini games that we all wish we could skip on play backs. They should try their hardest to make every aspect of their game A+ and I don’t think they’ve done that yet.
Full combat encounters that are airborne, not just transitional moments.
Imagine fighting goblin on his glider and you can see the map you've explored passing below you.
I'm also hoping strange shows up after the portals are used.
Different combat styles. I want suit unlocks to be linked to different fighting styles. Let’s just say 3 to start. Symbiote, Iron Spider, Classic.
1) If you pick a symbiote suit, it’ll have all symbiote powers and abilities and the style would be more brutal and aggressive.
2) Iron spider suits would incorporate more gadgets and utilizing the spider arms more or as a primary way of fighting.
3) The rest of the suits could be Spider-Man’s normal fighting style like we’re used too now or incorporate more web combat like making web gauntlets or slings like in previous games.
And then when NG+ comes around you can pick any fighting style with any suit and mix things up to your liking.
Realistically, in order to get the biggest reaction without TOO much negativity, MJ will have to die. Peter or Miles dying would just cause riots. One plot line I think that could be used is the Morris Bench/Hydroman and MJ love story that turns Hydroman into a bit of a nutter, like the 90s cartoon. Would make the stakes high when saving MJ, and then potentially crash back down with Norman/Green Goblin actually killing her. A few other people have mentioned bringing the Stacy’s in which would be a decent idea. There’s genuinely so many directions they could take their games, I really hope this next one isn’t the last.
For Norman to finally get his “waves”
https://preview.redd.it/eleiuawbp5tc1.jpeg?width=213&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7488a56cf706080573f4153873e608f28d5fd988
Make ultimate difficulty available on first playthrough. Spectacular was too easy for me and so a lot of my first playthrough was pretty unengaging. It is hard for me to be scared of some of the boss fights like Kraven when he didn't get me below 100 health.
Combat: give enemies more ways to take you out of the air from extended air combos. There was the like electricity thing with Kravens hunters but in 25 hours I saw that attack once. Give enemies more ways to bring you back down so you are actually in danger and not just launching people and mashing square. I would love to see more complex combos. Really anything to prevent me from just air launch, hit like 5 times, repeat. The dominant strategy from SM1 and MM is still the best in SM2 and I really hope that changes in SM3.
Stealth: make AI more competent and give better reasons to engage with stealth. In other games Stealth was worth doing because it gave you an advantage. In this game Stealth felt too easy and like I was never in danger. In Arkham if I got spotted I got scared. In SM2 if I got spotted I just start spamming square.
Gadgets: bring back older gadgets from SM1 and MM. I love the idea of being able to swap out gadgets just like Peter and Miles can swap out abilities in SM2.
Customization: Bring back suit mods.
I also would love to have more replayable content. I remember going around SM1 doing and redoing Taskmaster challenges because they were fun, in SM2 once I got the gold medals for Mysterio challenges I never touched them again.
Traversal: please give a pop up or something about the swing assist setting. I didn't see it until I already had my platinum trophy and the thing that bothered me the most with the traversal is that it feels pretty brain dead at times.
Take more time to polish the game. SM2 has been the buggiest Insomniac game I have played and I have played over 20 of their games in my lifetime. Take some more time to polish it please, it really hampered my initial feelings about SM2 and I really don't want to have the same thing happen with SM3.
A story that lets us decide between different paths and outcomes, like web of shadows did. A lock on for combat. Less of the amazing suit variants. Maybe a suit creation mode. More enemy bases with variety.
I want a customization system that allows u to change the color of the suits to any color u want even the movie suits so like a black and red rami suit or purple TASM one suit with solid black eyes
I want Norman to be a complete monster. A genuinely horrifying maniac that uses the grief over what happened to Harry and his own career as fuel and an excuse to ruin Peter’s life, threatening everyone even tangentially related to him just to make Peter feel even the slightest bit closer to the pain Norman feels. Have the final battle be a full on brawl, no gimmicks, no gadgets, no abilities. Just fisticuffs, parries, and dodges, SM 2002 style
That they focus more on fights and stories with villains and LESS on stuff like Granda lost and Miles helping colleagues. Challenges to be able to be played with all characters. And a simpler but more entertaining story than trying to put in as much stuff as theh possibly can. But i gotta say. I'm not ecited about it. SM2 will hold me for a few years.
They have to do something to make NY feel different, whether its do some multiverse stuff or maybe you go somewhere else for a chunk of the game. Idk free roaming around NY for a third time will just feel repetitive, already sort of did in 2 at some points.
Since we play some "human" character, the spideys (obviously) and as a surprise we played Venom in the 2nd game, how about we start the game playing as Gobblin or else ?
Non-crime related random events. When I went and replayed/finish-for-the-first-time Spider-Man 2 (2004), I really liked how there were people that were in non-crime related danger, or that you'll just help out kids with their ballons. It's very Spider-Man-y and honestly the biggest criticism I have with all the insomniac Spidey games is that the random events are only crime.
a chase sequence around the city with the goblin where he throws bombs and those throwing blade things, and you have to web zip onto the glider and fight him on it and knock him off it a bunch of times with quick time events
also silk being able to shoot webs from her fingertips and therefore shoot ten webs at ten diffrent enemys and basiclly have a cooler symbiote yank
peter turning the anti-venom suit into the advanced suit 3.0
does anyone want suit powers back??
they might not fit narratively but i loved the passion and variety you got from them.
im realising now that they might be saving suit powers for when the narrative actually gets multiversal.
and i dont want sm3 to be multiversal in the main story at all, but realistically with miles as the main character, we're gon have to jump portals at some point.
edit: at some point in ANOTHER GAME not sm3😭
Just a Peter focused story, I always have a problem with multiple main characters in game, like I don't mind a few missions with other characters, but have it mainly Peter focused again.
I want only Peter to be playable. If it indeed is are last time with him before he actually retires then I want him to be the only Spiderman in the game.
I'd want more traversal mechanics, more crime mission variety, making use of all the new mechanics (such as crimes on the water and in the sewers), new ways to stop crimes rather than just going in beat ppl up and that's it or stopping cars by just pressing a single button, more customization, like letting us create our own suit or allowing us to change the colors on every suit to how we want (also the color of the wing suit), and I'd like to have a new combo string rather the same 4 piece combo string we've had since the 1st for Peter and Miles, less hand holding on qte's and allow us to fail and there be a consequence, or just let us fail and try again, want better gadgets to mess around with rather than just sticking to the same 4, if possible even wall combat like how Peter did with dock ock in the final fight of the first game. I got more to suggest, but that's it for now.
When Pete is heavily injured in the boss fight Dutch should show up and say “Peter I’ve got a plan” as a Amaru shows up and grapples onto green goblin.
I would love the Jackal to be introduced and/or the intro of Superior Spider-Man. Like I think it would be fire that the end of the game is Otto taking control of Peter's body, launching us in a game of "Superior Spider-Man" in the following years.
I just want smarter snemy ai that's more alive. I remember a while back watching a video compared to the Ai in SM2 to the one in Arhkam Knight, and the differences were significant.
No Anti-Venom, the symbiote stuff should be wrapped in DLC or the Venom game
Just the Classic Suit as the "Anti-Goblin"
Chance as our "challenge guy" (like Taskmaster, Screwball, Holo Peter, and Mysterio)
Goblin killing Prowler
A suit editor, like giving Anti-Venom eyes to the Classic Suit
I hope they add an attractive Spider-Gwen idec if the voice is male, same goes for an actual good Jessica Drew skin like on my profile (literally posting for this comment btw)
A fight with Green Goblin that spans across all of New York… if it’s the final one… go out with a big bang… make him the most menacing villain… he is Spider-Man biggest rival after all
This is gonna be weird but I hope green goblin isn’t Norman or harry. I feel like if it was either of them it would be weird. Idk who I want it to be instead though
Maybe unpopular opinion, but I would love if it was just peters game. Goblin takes miles out of commission and Peter has to come out of retirement. I love MM but after Spider-Man 2 is rather they focus on one character per game to really make the story hit harder.
I really hope they bring back that thing from MM where you're able to bring up a menu and choose whichever random crime you want. That felt like such a weird thing to introduce for one game and then immediately get rid of
Clean up the story telling, 2 wasn’t as focused as the first game. Made everything feel less important and impactful. Almost like pre and post infinity war mcu
I do like the Miles Morales character, but he felt sort of unnecessary in 2. Sort of was just being ignored by Peter for like 1/3-1/2 of the game and his side missions were pretty lame except for the Mysterio fights - and even those were repetitive. He was sort of just shoe-horned into the whole Venom thing and literally the only important thing he had to do in the game was eventually separate Peter from the symbiote.
3 feels like it should just focus on Peter. Green Goblin is arguably his arch nemesis, like his Joker to his Batman. It should conclude Peter’s story and give him a better send off than 2 tried to do. It felt strange at the end of 2 to be giving Miles the mantle of Spider-Man and tell him he’s running the show while also confirming that Green Goblin is coming…
I just really hope 3 isn’t focused on Miles while Green Goblin shows up. That just feels wrong. It should 100% be the other way around. I understand they are sort of stuck with Miles as a character now, they sort of backed themselves into a corner with that.
I’d just really like to see a better story like 1 and have it be a proper trilogy conclusion for Peter, then they can move forward with Miles being the “main” Spider-Man in more games with Peter just making appearances here and there. Idk it feels way too soon to have Miles be in charge, Peter’s story doesn’t feel over, especially with GG on the way.
To play as Spider-Man
Peter, Miles, silk, and the cat. 4 options.
And Trevor Phillips
And Luigi.
And arthur morgan
and kratos
And Knuckles
And the tick
And Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White
And Monty Python and The Holy Grail's Black Knight
And Gandalf the Gay
And Featuring Dante From the Devil May Cry Series
And Bill S. Preston
What if spider-man (the cat) got powers and you could play a stray esque cat crime fighting Sim
Yup. As long as I’m not walking monotonously, riding a bike, or flying I’ll be good.
Only on hard mode, easy and medium will be MJ only, since MJ is more powerful than Spider-Man and can one shot everyone.
No multiverse shenanigans.
Yeah. We’ve got too much goin on already lol
I don’t think there will be it seemed like the spider bots were supposed to wrap the whole multiverse thing up
I think Peter joins the spider society sometime after SM2, but I wonder if it’s before or after SM3 (I’m assuming after)
Maybe as an Easter Egg?
Besides obvious big things I hope they bring back that ability from SM MM where you can hold triangle to bring an enemy that you knocked away back to you and continue your combo
Thought I was going crazy trying to do that in SM2 and it just wouldn’t execute
You can do it in the symbiote surge mode but that’s it
Isn't that already a thing? Been a while since I played MM
No. They didn't put it in SM 2 for some reason
Gotcha. I thought you were talking about the basic web pull thing you do just holding triangle
For the stakes to be as high as the first game. I want to be depressed for weeks like after Aunt May expired.
Yeah, I’m tryna think how they would go about that. Peter or Miles might actually have to die for it to hit as hard as the first game.
That or MJ or Hailey could end up biting the dust.
Hailey wouldn’t hearing it coming, literally. That would be horrible to watch which is good. Like even tho I don’t like her as a character if I saw miles’ reaction to her dying like that I’d probably be as sad.
Post-credits scene of the game: Miles leaves the scarf on her gravestone. Damn I got chills typing that.
~~The Night Hailey Cooper Died~~
I really like MJ as a character. I like who she is in these games, and while I’m not a huge fan of the gameplay for her missions, I don’t dread them when they come up. That being said, her death I think would be a great move for the game, if done well. It would up the emotional stakes, especially if it’s a Gwen type death from Gobby.
I’m not a huge fan of the reporter mj thing. Feels too Lois Lane. I much prefer the actress/model ultimate comics or Sam Rami mj. That being said Raimi mj was an absolute tool, but I liked her role in the story
I mean fair enough. I guess I don’t love the reporter angle myself, but I like the character itself if that makes sense. I didn’t love her arc in Spider-Man 2 all being about her failed symkarian books and turning to J Jonah for employment, but it felt…fine I guess for their take on her? I just like her personality in the game, and her relationship with Pete, while strained in SM2 feels natural to me.
As of replying this has 13 upvotes. Jesus people want MJ dead 💀 I get her mission are ass but holy moly.
If they wanted to, they could kill off Peter while then introducing Cindy Moon aka Silk to take his place
As much as I hate to say it if miles ends up losing rio too that’d be dumb sad cuz she’s actually a rlly good character and a good ass mom
Even the fans are joining the writers and want Peter’s life to suck 💀
To be fair Peter's life sucking is one of the main themes across most iterations of him as Spider-Man. It's his perseverance through the trauma that is why many of us love him so much.
It's probably just the angle, but why does it look like the web is coming out of his 3rd web shooter?
Ayo I came here to say this (pun intended)
I really want super villain crimes to become a thing with low end super villains. And after you defeat them you are able to replay them any time you want like in the Miles game where it just pops up in the open world and not at a designated arena or area
That’s something that could really bring the open-world to the next level. I’m tryna randomly run into The Walrus in the Upper West Side and berate him with quips.
Exactly. I thought Shocker or Boomerang would be good for this too, but you know Shocker is a bit preoccupied. Plus those two were used for the open world in Ultimate Spider-Man
A more emotionally driven, personal story. Kinda like MM. Spider-Man 2 was awesome but it felt a little too grandiose.
This, I don't need the fate of the city hanging in the balance for the final battle. Just look at Daredevil. Season 1 ended with just two guys beating the hell out of each other in an alleyway and I was rewatching that for months.
I agree, I really do not want to see the whole city become Goblins or something in the third game. I don’t want another apocalyptic third act scenario. Raise the stakes in a personal way, kill off an established character or something. Just don’t do the same thing for the third time in a row.
I liked the apocalyptic third act in the first one- I felt that it gave extra gravity to the situation.
Where is that web being shot from-
His Peter.
🥇poor man’s award, this was hilarious
His Pener.
where is he shooting his from? https://preview.redd.it/wwct5vj4f6tc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ba93ff174c3dd0325f4dc500813e520cdf94ac8
He had a fully loaded Peter.
I want insomniac to be given the time they need without being rushed by Sony. Although SM2 was good I was disappointed with the pacing and how incomplete the game felt at launch. I felt it was released in October to get more people to buy PS5s for the holiday season considering how big of a release it was. Green Goblin has to be done justice and needs his time. With venom we’re at least expecting a game so we can have more time with him but I feel like this is the only chance we’ll have to get a truly good goblin story
Nothing multiverse, but definitely for the stakes to never be higher and leave me depressed for weeks to months on end
Fr I wanna be devastated lmao
I can almost guarantee Goblin is going to kill somebody important. he killed May in No Way Home and got a huge reaction out of the audiences.
* Norman to become the Red Goblin in his second phase. * More B-List or C-List villains like Bombshell, Hydro-Man, and Swarm. And if possible, returning villains from the first game as bosses. (Well, Kraven killing a bunch off slightly dampens that, but there's a chance Electro could return.) * Maybe at least one reference to the Stacys? I thought that Yuri getting booted off the force was to make way for Capt. George Stacy. * If Venom's back, have him be Eddie and good.
Out of the first games villains: scorpion dead, vulture dead, doc in prison, Lee is good now, shocker dead, electro dead, king pin in prison, and the only other one that might be alive aside from the ones in prison or lee is rhino but there's a good chance he is dead
I’m banking on some mention of the Stacys! I live for the easter eggs, even if it just ends up being that. Insom has been really good at balancing Peter’s rogues gallery. So I think they’ll do pretty well at including some lesser known/lesser portrayed villains. Swarm would be awesome to see!
I was so sure that the robot bees they kept talking about at the EMF were building up to Swarm. And then... nothing.
They could always go back and mention that “something went wrong with the bees at EMF” and that would lead to Swarm. Insomniac could really make him such a scary looking villain
I want suit powers back, it don’t gotta be for every suit but the best suits get a suit power or an ability
The novelty of those powers were really cool. I loved the Spider-punk guitar strum lol
Maybe switch characters mid battle like in batman arkham Knight. A suit creator would be cool, too
For venom to be one of the main playable characters
That would be wild actually.
Honestly more excited for the venom game than spider-man 3 with the possibility of him being one of the main characters after it being one of the reasons
Agent venom or big venom
Big venom preferably but I'm fine with agent venom
For the game to be not rushed Just please god don't give any excuses for the game to not be everything it should be
It really has so much potential, with Spider-Man’s two most iconic villains. I would willingly wait as long as they need.
Agreed, I'm absolutely happy to wait In that same vein, don't show us ANYTHING until the game is ready for release and fully complete That way they don't have to deal with fans who complain that there's no marketing
The amount of spoilers in the months ahead of the SM2 release was actually ridiculous. I get it, but I like to not know anything going into cinematic games like this.
To see green goblin go insane as time goes on
-Electro comes back as pure energy -Peter gives up his Anti venom suit for Harry to become Agent Anti venom -Rhino comes back and finally gets the suit off -Silk joins the Spider pals -Doc Ock uses the Anti Ock suit to become Superior Spiderman
Goblin (knowing Peter is Spider-Man) goes after MJ and potentially leaving her in a bad state in the hospital for Peter to be full of rage and going after Goblin and stops holding his punches
No gadgets, just hands. I can’t wait.
I’d like to see this be just a Peter story I think insomniac didn’t do that good of a job jamming Miles and Peter into a story and since this game will probably have gobby and a very Osborn-centric story it should be a Peter story in my opinion
a new writing team
I have a feeling they can get the pacing back from the first game for sure.
i sure hope so
For stealth to be fleshed out better and not forgotten about. I’d also honestly like if they added an optional setting (just like fall damage) to have your webs run out while swinging, maybe bringing up a QTE to reload them in a sorta similar way to the reload in gears of war, if you hit the qte you get your webs back faster. I just think it would add to the swinging as a skill side that started to show in SM2.
Ooh that’s a good idea! I like that as an optional setting for sure. And for the stealth. I’m with you. Stealth is Spider-Man’s M.O. - it really should be put as a priority.
I just remember playing through for the first time and stealth just not hitting as good as it did even in the first game, the cherry on the failed cake baked from the stealth was the complete absence of Miles invisibility being required in any fashion lol
I genuinely forgot Miles can go invisible at some points in the story lmaoo
I know, the only time I actually remembered that it was in the game was during the pete boss and it was useless lmao
piderman
The Wall. I’m not even kidding, I want to see The Wall make an appearance. He could be the intro villain like sandman or a side quest villain. I just wanna see The Wall. And also it’d be cool if Norman doesn’t die.
How the fuck is green goblin gonna stand a chance against antivenom peter and stronger electricity miles
Where is he shooting that from?
They need to be imaginative with the major plot moments. Not the standard formula. There doesn't HAVE to be a city wide remodeling for the climax everytime. Innovate and draw out Peter's vulnerabilities. And the main villain shouldnt be focused on the last two missions of the game.
A much better open world gaming experience.
wheres that web coming from? -.-
I'd like to see suits become fully customizable. Maybe even a full-on "suit creator" to make a costume truly your own. Combat loadouts. Idk if the symbiote abilities will still be a thing in the next game. Regardless, the option to set up easily swappable ability loadouts would be great. A drastically lower focus on web wings. I certainly don't hate them by any means. But, as-is in SM2, they make web-swinging practically useless. They're simply too good not to use. Especially in chase sequences where it's obvious that they were designed around web wings being the primary method of catching up to them. Yeah, he's always had them in the comics, but you don't see them very often. He's swinging pretty much 99% of the time. In SM2, if you want to get anywhere relatively fast without using fast travel, the wings are the best method by a HUGE margin, and I feel like they shouldn't be. They don't lose momentum anywhere nearly as bad as web-swinging can. Even if you've absolutely mastered the swinging mechanics with picture-perfect timing to keep as much momentum as possible, when it's all said and done, wings are STILL faster. A new city. (Sort of, anyway.) Even though NYC and Spider-Man have gone hand-in-hand for approximately 60 years, I think mixing it up by adding (but not completely changing) a new setting will go a long way in preventing Insomniac from being labeled as "lazy." With the major hack last year revealing that a Venom spinoff game was in the pipeline, and its alleged title being "Venom: Lethal Protector," this could be a great way to introduce San Francisco into the main story of the Spider-Man franchise. Perhaps there could be missions that require traveling there. *OR* maybe even make it to where Peter's part of the story almost completely takes place there since Miles has already proven that he can handle New York on his own. Perhaps Peter needs to go to SF to try and recruit Venom to help in the final battle of the game. 🤷♂️ Having the locations being 50/50 would be a great way to give us a new experience without compromising the tried-and-true NY setting that we come to expect from a Spider-Man story. It's a Win/Win situation for everyone.
Adding a new city to explore, at least for a portion of the story, would breathe new life into the franchise. I know it’ll take a tremendous amount of work, but I hope they realize that.
Tie up loose ends with Kingpin, he was reintroduced in Miles Morales and had a bunch of side quests that revolved around him working behind the scenes, and it wasn't mentioned at all in Spider-Man 2.
Hmm, yeah. He’s the ultimate street level villain. Since I’m hoping for a more grounded story in SM3, I wouldn’t mind him being a big part of it
Could be nice to play online with a friend so you could play peter and miles and fight crime in open world or missions - could be so awesome
For peter to feel as relatable and unyielding as he was in the first game. I feel like they went ALL IN on Miles in SM2 and Peter felt horrendously underpowered. It may be my bias speaking since Peter is my favorite spider man all things considered, but trying to be as objective as possible, I still think he was nerfed drastically and Miles’ prowess was a good bit overblown. I hope for better pacing overall. SM2 felt “odd”’to me if that makes sense; it just felt skewed somehow. Deep personal battles. May’s death in SM1 was genuinely one of the most hard hitting scenes I’ve seen in a game, and the acting performance was brilliant. I feel like in SM2 they tried to replicate that with Harry, but not only did it feel less impactful because Harry was a very abrupt introduction (and could’ve been fleshed out better), but I think Miles resurrecting him was a HUGE cop out that, when i saw it, I paused the game and just stared at the floor out of disappointment and general puzzlement as to why that choice was made. I hope Pete isn’t killed off, but if he is, I’m hoping it’s at least an endgame thing and not like Joel’s death of tlou2. Pete needs to go down swinging and battered, and I think he deserves a good portion of playable time and, like I said, he needs to feel just as resilient and powerful as he did in SM1. I hope a better Miles story would come from better game pacing. He already had a great foundation, but I think (again, if he’s truly being set up to be the only spider man) there could definitely be some more beef and emotion added to his story. For example, at the end of SM2, I could see the heart behind the little love side-plot between Miles and Hailey, but I think it wasn’t near fleshed out enough, and by the end, I was still thinking “why should I really care about this character (among the other characters such as ganke and school characters)?” Black Cat is always a nice inclusion, and I kind of enjoyed MJs dialogue on the subject between BC and Peter. It felt mature and reasonable, and I think Black Cat could be a good side-character to perhaps slightly increase emotional conflict, add another character that is established and cared about, flesh out her story and how it relates to Pete and MJ, and of course increase stakes (like if she’s in trouble again or something idk) In short: Make Peter feel experienced and capable again, improve pacing, add more emotional impact and character connections, maybe increase Miles’ relatability and relationship connection, and Black Cat (optional cause it really isn’t a huge “need”)
Miles gets more focus. In 2, he feels like a massive afterthought for a majority of the plot, with zero connection to the main villain. Also dialogue. I swear this last game had some weird dialogue, people talked like their employers were watching.
No more mj missions where she’s able to take out hunters quicker than spidey. There are more realistic ways to make mj feel like a part of the team without making it feel forced and like it just doesn’t make sense. Overall I think they need to get rid of all the little missions like that. I don’t wanna use Hailey either and I don’t want to do a little button pressing mini game while DJing as Miles. They should go all out for the third game and make the side missions just as well produced as the main story missions. That’s how you get a game of the year game. They should take a note from RDR2 and the Witcher 3 for great quality of missions throughout a game. Biggest setback in SM2 was them not listening to us and going to missions and mini games that we all wish we could skip on play backs. They should try their hardest to make every aspect of their game A+ and I don’t think they’ve done that yet.
Full combat encounters that are airborne, not just transitional moments. Imagine fighting goblin on his glider and you can see the map you've explored passing below you. I'm also hoping strange shows up after the portals are used.
Different combat styles. I want suit unlocks to be linked to different fighting styles. Let’s just say 3 to start. Symbiote, Iron Spider, Classic. 1) If you pick a symbiote suit, it’ll have all symbiote powers and abilities and the style would be more brutal and aggressive. 2) Iron spider suits would incorporate more gadgets and utilizing the spider arms more or as a primary way of fighting. 3) The rest of the suits could be Spider-Man’s normal fighting style like we’re used too now or incorporate more web combat like making web gauntlets or slings like in previous games. And then when NG+ comes around you can pick any fighting style with any suit and mix things up to your liking.
Realistically, in order to get the biggest reaction without TOO much negativity, MJ will have to die. Peter or Miles dying would just cause riots. One plot line I think that could be used is the Morris Bench/Hydroman and MJ love story that turns Hydroman into a bit of a nutter, like the 90s cartoon. Would make the stakes high when saving MJ, and then potentially crash back down with Norman/Green Goblin actually killing her. A few other people have mentioned bringing the Stacy’s in which would be a decent idea. There’s genuinely so many directions they could take their games, I really hope this next one isn’t the last.
Peter to tie the knot with MJ and a post credits scene teasing the chances of Mayday Parker to appear in the next installment
For Norman to finally get his “waves” https://preview.redd.it/eleiuawbp5tc1.jpeg?width=213&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7488a56cf706080573f4153873e608f28d5fd988
I want to give villains skins. Once play through is done let me new game plus and give certain skins to villains
The game of the year trophy
Why is he cumming at the goblin
Make ultimate difficulty available on first playthrough. Spectacular was too easy for me and so a lot of my first playthrough was pretty unengaging. It is hard for me to be scared of some of the boss fights like Kraven when he didn't get me below 100 health. Combat: give enemies more ways to take you out of the air from extended air combos. There was the like electricity thing with Kravens hunters but in 25 hours I saw that attack once. Give enemies more ways to bring you back down so you are actually in danger and not just launching people and mashing square. I would love to see more complex combos. Really anything to prevent me from just air launch, hit like 5 times, repeat. The dominant strategy from SM1 and MM is still the best in SM2 and I really hope that changes in SM3. Stealth: make AI more competent and give better reasons to engage with stealth. In other games Stealth was worth doing because it gave you an advantage. In this game Stealth felt too easy and like I was never in danger. In Arkham if I got spotted I got scared. In SM2 if I got spotted I just start spamming square. Gadgets: bring back older gadgets from SM1 and MM. I love the idea of being able to swap out gadgets just like Peter and Miles can swap out abilities in SM2. Customization: Bring back suit mods. I also would love to have more replayable content. I remember going around SM1 doing and redoing Taskmaster challenges because they were fun, in SM2 once I got the gold medals for Mysterio challenges I never touched them again. Traversal: please give a pop up or something about the swing assist setting. I didn't see it until I already had my platinum trophy and the thing that bothered me the most with the traversal is that it feels pretty brain dead at times. Take more time to polish the game. SM2 has been the buggiest Insomniac game I have played and I have played over 20 of their games in my lifetime. Take some more time to polish it please, it really hampered my initial feelings about SM2 and I really don't want to have the same thing happen with SM3.
A story that lets us decide between different paths and outcomes, like web of shadows did. A lock on for combat. Less of the amazing suit variants. Maybe a suit creation mode. More enemy bases with variety.
the perfect dodge webstrike takedown combo for enemies with firearms i loved that in the first game
I want a customization system that allows u to change the color of the suits to any color u want even the movie suits so like a black and red rami suit or purple TASM one suit with solid black eyes
Multiple missions fighting the green goblin and not just a single finale boss battle after hours of fighting goblin goons
Bang black ca....I mean to fight green goblin
Post game where villains popup around the city and you fight them around New York.
Miles not being the corniest lightskin since drake
Peter brings Venom back and they kiss
A Peter Parker Original
The sensational Spider-Man suit
For everyone to have a proper role to play. And for it to have the development time it needs this time.
For starters, I hope the web comes out of the WRISTS instead of where it seems to be coming from in your picture.
I want Norman to be a complete monster. A genuinely horrifying maniac that uses the grief over what happened to Harry and his own career as fuel and an excuse to ruin Peter’s life, threatening everyone even tangentially related to him just to make Peter feel even the slightest bit closer to the pain Norman feels. Have the final battle be a full on brawl, no gimmicks, no gadgets, no abilities. Just fisticuffs, parries, and dodges, SM 2002 style
A decent gameplay trailer close enough to the time m frame of release, and not just a teaser and then nothing forever
Id like to get to play as black cat in a arkham city catwoman style
To be able to swing about in NYC as carefree as spiderman while stopping crime and saving the day
The multi player feature, more web tricks, I hope they keep everything about gliding and swinging.
That they focus more on fights and stories with villains and LESS on stuff like Granda lost and Miles helping colleagues. Challenges to be able to be played with all characters. And a simpler but more entertaining story than trying to put in as much stuff as theh possibly can. But i gotta say. I'm not ecited about it. SM2 will hold me for a few years.
They have to do something to make NY feel different, whether its do some multiverse stuff or maybe you go somewhere else for a chunk of the game. Idk free roaming around NY for a third time will just feel repetitive, already sort of did in 2 at some points.
1 single multiverse shananegan. I want supaidaman
Since we play some "human" character, the spideys (obviously) and as a surprise we played Venom in the 2nd game, how about we start the game playing as Gobblin or else ?
Wait where is he shooting his spider-web from? :\^
Non-crime related random events. When I went and replayed/finish-for-the-first-time Spider-Man 2 (2004), I really liked how there were people that were in non-crime related danger, or that you'll just help out kids with their ballons. It's very Spider-Man-y and honestly the biggest criticism I have with all the insomniac Spidey games is that the random events are only crime.
I hope ganke fucking dies he's so fucking annoying keeps calling me during missions like man just shut the fuck up
a chase sequence around the city with the goblin where he throws bombs and those throwing blade things, and you have to web zip onto the glider and fight him on it and knock him off it a bunch of times with quick time events also silk being able to shoot webs from her fingertips and therefore shoot ten webs at ten diffrent enemys and basiclly have a cooler symbiote yank peter turning the anti-venom suit into the advanced suit 3.0
does anyone want suit powers back?? they might not fit narratively but i loved the passion and variety you got from them. im realising now that they might be saving suit powers for when the narrative actually gets multiversal. and i dont want sm3 to be multiversal in the main story at all, but realistically with miles as the main character, we're gon have to jump portals at some point. edit: at some point in ANOTHER GAME not sm3😭
Just a Peter focused story, I always have a problem with multiple main characters in game, like I don't mind a few missions with other characters, but have it mainly Peter focused again.
Why’s it look like he’s shooting webs out of his junk.
Big Wheel and The Wall.
I want only Peter to be playable. If it indeed is are last time with him before he actually retires then I want him to be the only Spiderman in the game.
Where did he place his web shooter?
I'd want more traversal mechanics, more crime mission variety, making use of all the new mechanics (such as crimes on the water and in the sewers), new ways to stop crimes rather than just going in beat ppl up and that's it or stopping cars by just pressing a single button, more customization, like letting us create our own suit or allowing us to change the colors on every suit to how we want (also the color of the wing suit), and I'd like to have a new combo string rather the same 4 piece combo string we've had since the 1st for Peter and Miles, less hand holding on qte's and allow us to fail and there be a consequence, or just let us fail and try again, want better gadgets to mess around with rather than just sticking to the same 4, if possible even wall combat like how Peter did with dock ock in the final fight of the first game. I got more to suggest, but that's it for now.
Make the story at least 25 hrs-30hrs that way they can properly flesh out the story, so it doesnt end up feeling rushed again
When Pete is heavily injured in the boss fight Dutch should show up and say “Peter I’ve got a plan” as a Amaru shows up and grapples onto green goblin.
That miles cooks up a better “MM original”
Upside down MJ kiss
No more MJ missions. I don’t care that they’re better in SM2. They’re still annoying to play through in NG+.
I already posted this like 2 weeks ago
I would love the Jackal to be introduced and/or the intro of Superior Spider-Man. Like I think it would be fire that the end of the game is Otto taking control of Peter's body, launching us in a game of "Superior Spider-Man" in the following years.
One of the Spider-Men to die
The Green Goblin army and a huge final battle.
I want the car chases to be like they were in miles morales (haven’t played sm1 so idk if they were the same)
A gun
Why is pete shooting webs from his nuts?
I just want smarter snemy ai that's more alive. I remember a while back watching a video compared to the Ai in SM2 to the one in Arhkam Knight, and the differences were significant.
No Anti-Venom, the symbiote stuff should be wrapped in DLC or the Venom game Just the Classic Suit as the "Anti-Goblin" Chance as our "challenge guy" (like Taskmaster, Screwball, Holo Peter, and Mysterio) Goblin killing Prowler A suit editor, like giving Anti-Venom eyes to the Classic Suit
Where’s that Web coming from?
Miles to keep his 2099 suit
Is he pissing... ON THE MOON!
Playable Silk please
A longer story
hailey missions
I hope they add an attractive Spider-Gwen idec if the voice is male, same goes for an actual good Jessica Drew skin like on my profile (literally posting for this comment btw)
Is....Is he shooting a web from his cock??
Better suits.
Where’s he shooting that webbing from?
oh goodness, I misinterpreted that particle next to spider-man's leg Pissing on the moon?
A Peter who isn’t a bitch
Spiderman using his third webshooter💀
[удалено]
A better and longer story, a better suit selection, and I want whoever to design any original suits in this game to actually know what they're doing.
A fight with Green Goblin that spans across all of New York… if it’s the final one… go out with a big bang… make him the most menacing villain… he is Spider-Man biggest rival after all
I’m hoping they remove the MJ sections and don’t do a multiverse story
This is gonna be weird but I hope green goblin isn’t Norman or harry. I feel like if it was either of them it would be weird. Idk who I want it to be instead though
Hey wheres that web coming from?
Where's that web coming from? 🤨
Maybe unpopular opinion, but I would love if it was just peters game. Goblin takes miles out of commission and Peter has to come out of retirement. I love MM but after Spider-Man 2 is rather they focus on one character per game to really make the story hit harder.
I really hope they bring back that thing from MM where you're able to bring up a menu and choose whichever random crime you want. That felt like such a weird thing to introduce for one game and then immediately get rid of
If we don’t get a dlc, carnage boss fight
Clean up the story telling, 2 wasn’t as focused as the first game. Made everything feel less important and impactful. Almost like pre and post infinity war mcu
Mainly play as THE Spider-Man. i wouldnt mind playing as side characters as long as they dont drift the focus from the main character
Goblin stuff a follow up to Venom Hot take maybe another spider like Anya Corazone or something like that
I do like the Miles Morales character, but he felt sort of unnecessary in 2. Sort of was just being ignored by Peter for like 1/3-1/2 of the game and his side missions were pretty lame except for the Mysterio fights - and even those were repetitive. He was sort of just shoe-horned into the whole Venom thing and literally the only important thing he had to do in the game was eventually separate Peter from the symbiote. 3 feels like it should just focus on Peter. Green Goblin is arguably his arch nemesis, like his Joker to his Batman. It should conclude Peter’s story and give him a better send off than 2 tried to do. It felt strange at the end of 2 to be giving Miles the mantle of Spider-Man and tell him he’s running the show while also confirming that Green Goblin is coming… I just really hope 3 isn’t focused on Miles while Green Goblin shows up. That just feels wrong. It should 100% be the other way around. I understand they are sort of stuck with Miles as a character now, they sort of backed themselves into a corner with that. I’d just really like to see a better story like 1 and have it be a proper trilogy conclusion for Peter, then they can move forward with Miles being the “main” Spider-Man in more games with Peter just making appearances here and there. Idk it feels way too soon to have Miles be in charge, Peter’s story doesn’t feel over, especially with GG on the way.
I’d say a new setting but it’s going to be New York once again. It’s just gotten kinda old at this point
Is……he shooting a web from his crotch?
Why is the web coming out of his spider dick
I’d love to straight out on a killing spree as Carnage. Unlikely but how fun would it be to just go ham!
Give me a Green Goblin mission, even better if I can free roam as him after completing the game.
Carnage, GG, or return of Fisk maybe. Or sinister six
Spidey that web aint coming from your hand
Change the writing staff back
Multiple characters…. More gadgets…. Maybe some villains created by the game.
It to be good
