Seeing Lizard, and absolutely loving Reptile in MK1.... I want to BEEEEE him!
Which has me wanting some kind of MP mode where Kraven has everybody rounded up and pits them against each other, gladiator-style. Think MK Shaolin Monks (or Xenogears debug mode) with the tacked on MP. THAT!

He should just round up all the animal themed characters and throw them into a battle royal setting. I think he co-opted Central Park to do that in a somewhat recent story.
Grab the bosses from the prison as well for dlc. Get em all in there!
Holy shit, I don't know if some people know or not but there is a big spoiler regarding Venom (not who Venom actually is) that was heavily hinted at during the gameplay event, to be honest it's also hinted at it in the trailers. the certain clip is going viral on twitter now and god damn my hype has shot through the roof.
I can't check Twitter rn but is it possible that
Venom is a playable character??
Nope it's regarding a certain story/origins
I was thinking the same thing--was telling a coworker I think that will happen.
this played like 144p so I thought it was real and I liked it :(
This is 100000% my hope. Only the madmen and women at Insomniac would
put in a third playable character.
Did they say Marvel's New York City a lot in the run-up to the first?
Makes me wonder if we are seeing some non-Spiderman characters pop up.

So we can also customize colors of the suits right?
I thought of this awhile back, maybe someday for future Niche-Mans, we could fully customize our own original suits based/using on existing Niche-Man suits.
Like using which spider logos, putting them anywhere on the body, using which material/fabric, which masks/eyes/gloves/colors/etc.
That would be cool & innovative/evolution of the series' in the future.

To a certain extend, yes. Most (but not all) suits have 3 extra color variations.
Full suit customization would definitely be a nice thing for Spider-Man 3 too.
Yes and We mixed Cinematics in Atmos as well. Not sure on specifics of containers and all of that in terms of real-time gameplay though!
Damnit, y'all really gonna make me connect up the Atmos channels on my speakers? I mean, it's the crappy Atmos where they bounce off the ceiling from my main channels, but still! lol
Oh yeah, give it 2 years tops before we get confirmation of a Venom game. It's already probably gonna happen, but you don't open *that* can of worms without at least one dedicated Venom game
I don't know shit about Knull, what does this inclusion possibly mean for the game if you don't mind my uneducated ass asking?
This all sounds great. I realized early this year that Spider-Man and Miles Morales combined are probably in my top 10 games of all time at this point just for being easily the best Spider-Man games, and this is sounding better in every way. Man, what a year for video games, we're truly blessed
I just assume it's a cute reference. Knull is the god of symbiotes and a big antagonist to Venom and the rest of the Marvel universe in the comics.
Man the villians in this game > the ones in SM2018 and MM.
Venom, Kraven, Mysterio, Lizard are some of my favorite. Excited to see Wraith. And Mr. Negative & Prowler are back for Miles. One interesting theory I saw in a video is that Mysterio will actually be a side boss meant for only Miles to take on. Which makes sense, being that Peter already faced Mysterio in this universe, so his tricks wouldn't hit the same, but Miles has no clue. Plus, you can see Miles and Gankee in a screenshot, who a lot assume is Mysterio w/o the fish bowl.
SM3 can be Goblin, Sandman, Carnage, and some others.

Honestly, I'd happily take a Miles Morales-sized Venom game between Spider-Man 2 and 3.
They could easily do expansion / DLC / Miles Morales style sequels for Venom and Ghost Spider/Gwen. My daughter would flip if they did a Ghost Spider game- it's her favourite character.
I want this game's "surprise Doctor Octavius reveal that isn't spoiled by marketing" to be Miles walking the halls of Brooklyn Visions and running into Gwen.
We still don't have confirmation that you can actually toggle the symbiote suit on and off right?
Would love the option, can only imagine how great that animation would look as it engulfs peters body as well as retracts.

I saw somewhere that the actual symbiote costume is just like any other and you can use the symbiote powers with any suit you want.
... trying to imagine the Undies Suit with symbiote powers 🤔
Got it. So you couldn't be wearing the advanced suit and have the symbiote "activate" so to speak. It doesn't cover up the suit you're currently wearing.
Just how I imagined it'd work when the symbiote was originally introduced I guess. Appreciate the clarification!
Would be interested to know if that was ever the plan for it at some point though.

The 90s Spider-Man Animated series is the absolute GOAT. There hasn't been a better Venom since. He hated Peter, and was such a troll. Willing I like Insomniac's even more :D

One video I watched mentioned that the "Symbiote Rage" form does override your current suit and transforms you into a different version of the black suit so there's that at least.
We don't know for sure yet but it could mean many things, read about the character on wikipedia and you can gain a better idea

Honestly, I expect this to happen. It just makes too much sense to not happen. Venom is insanely popular - now give him his own game, and watch the money pour in! Of course it needs to be good, but Insomniac already got that covered!
2-3 times is my guess:
One where you chase him (shown already)
One final fight against him
One fight in a lab against him as you try and get him to transform back to Dr. Connors (gotta get the lab fight in there somehow!)
Oh, and maybe a good ol' Sewer fight against him. For cliche's sake.
Yeah about 3 times makes sense, they said you go against alot of villain's in this game so I cant imagine more times then that.
Yeah, I feel 2 is probably the sweet spot maybe not counting the big encounter they showed (unless there is a boss fight at the end of it?)
Assuming they are planning roughly 6 main villains in this game as well (or slightly more, I think we had around 10? for Spidey 1?) then Id think most would be one and done unless they plan on fleshing them out a big which Id not be against. Like, Kraven, Venom and presumably Lizard will get quite a bit of screen time, but for say... Mysterio (who Im feeling more confident at appearing), I doubt they'd have him one and done - I definitely feel we'll get a situation like Spidey 2 (PS2) where he has a number of appearances where he uses his illusions, robots etc. to craft some amazing set pieces for Spidey, maybe with just the one proper "boss" fight against him.
And since I love to guess bosses for these games, here's who Im thinking/hoping will appear:
Confirmed:
Venom
Kraven
Lizard
All but confirmed/likely:
Wraith (pick up her plot from the DLC, Yuri's way too interesting not to use again)
Task Master (side missions again, felt like they werent done with him)
Prowler (some map icons look like Prowler - now whether its a new Prowler or not is another thing entirely up in the air)
My Negative (Martin Li is in the trailer. Who knows if he's actually a villain though. But presumeably a prison break is occurring at some point...)
Mysterio (there's one villain in the trailer shown that wears purple and has a similar scarf to ol' fish bowl head, and he's the easiest dude to add into a Spidey game for pure spectacle no matter the plot)
Has potential to show up, but Im not 100% sure they will:
Hobgoblin (Do a "Spidey 90s cartoon" and have him show up prior to GG with stolen Oscorp tech)
Sandman (Big villain, big set piece potential, but... feels like too many big villains used at once. Probably saved for Spidey 3)
The Sinister 6 (As in - PS4's version. Aside Li, I dont see them using them again so soon, but that prison break...)
Shocker (No reason to show up beyond being a dude Symbiote Spidey beats up. Well that and 90s cartoon meme potential)
And a bonus "X-Men" nod here - Sabretooth/Deadpool - Quick team up with Wolverine to take them down. Cute way to show off Wolvie's skills and VA prior to his own game.
Not happening:
Green Goblin (I refuse to believe we get three main villains in the game. Kraven and Venom already have precenses as main villains. They wont waste THE Spidey villain in this game, no way. Will be in Spidey 3 instead)
And lastly, the special tier no one wants to acknowledge:
Screwball tier:
Totally happening ;) I say this as quite possibly the sole person who enjoyed her missions. Bring her back! <running for cover>
Wraith (pick up her plot from the DLC, Yuri's way too interesting not to use again)
Task Master (side missions again, felt like they werent done with him)
Prowler (some map icons look like Prowler - now whether its a new Prowler or not is another thing entirely up in the air)

I'm happy that they are adding optional fall damage. Let me take the training wheels off of swinging and make it a true skill to master!
Wow really nice!
Do you know if the game can go above 60 fps in performance mode with 120 Hz VRR like your previous games (unlocked frame rate)?
Heh with the old SM2 web slinging you could thwip your web way too low to the ground and just run around the street with your arms up like freakazoid.Hehe, it would be amusing if with the fall damage turned on you could wind up doing something like this:
