Rubie's Boy's Marvel Spider-Man Maximum Venom Deluxe Venomized Spider-Man Costume

Product Information

Does that mean we might play as Carnage in a future installment, especially after that tease? Intihar wasn't willing to reveal much, but he did mention that Carnage is on a different level than Venom. We all know and love the opening of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 as our Spider-Men face-off against a massive version of Sandman across NYC. However, our dear friend Flint Marko almost had a much larger role as Insomniac had the idea to make a Venomized version of Sandman. That's something I'm so proud of the team for. That they were able to really make a game that not only is, 'Oh, it's Spider-Man 2, there's two heroes," but it's a story that requires both of them. And we see their relationship, change, evolve, grow, as much as we see any of the other relationships in the game." Spider-Man 2 Senior Creative Director Bryan Intihar Discusses What Happened to the 'Undies' Suit and Other Missing Costumes So, in a way, having Venom playable was just as much a story-telling device as it was a way to include an awesome moment of inhabiting legendary villain. However, Intihar doesn't want us to think we'll get to play as every villain in the Spidey-verse because it's cool. So, don't just assume we'll get a chance to become Green Goblin in a potential Spider-Man 3 after that tease in the game, even though we'd be all for it! In truth, however, the choice of who we get to play as has to serve the greater story.

With no release date set for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, fans speculate which Spider-Man variants will return, including possible appearances by live-action Spider-Men. The creative team must have something major in store for the highly-anticipated sequel. It was hard enough to make Sandman,” Intihar continued. “No, nothing like, ‘you can't do this because of this extra Y or Z.’ I think it comes down to more of like, can we do it with the time we have and at the quality we want to hit? While that obviously sounds very cool, the reason they chose not to go forward with the idea was a production consideration rather than a veto from Marvel above. One of the biggest and coolest moments of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was when we finally got the chance to play as Venom. It's undoubtedly cool to get to jump out of the shoes of our two Spider-Men and play a new character, but one of the biggest reasons Insomniac wanted to let us play as Venom was to let us see how dangerous and vicious he is.PlayStation fans will never forget that one PlayStation Showcase where Insomniac announced not only Marvel's Spider-Man 2, but also Marvel's Wolverine. As soon as they were both revealed, fans around the world started thinking this could be the start of PlayStation's MCU and that we'd soon see Wolverine and Spider-Man together on PS5. It's pretty easy to see that Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales were all leading to a much bigger story of these two Spider-Men coming together, but why was it so important to have it be in this game? Fan artist Arkin Tyagi has created Venomized versions of various Spider-Verse characters, including Spider-Man India and Spider-Woman. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has officially arrived and tells an epic story starring Peter Parker, Miles Morales, MJ, Kraven the Hunter, Venom and so many more. While swinging around New York City as both Pete and Miles is as fun as it ever was, there is so much more that makes this sequel what it is.

The other thing is we talked a lot to the character team," he says. "What are the character team excited about making? They put so much time and effort into those suits. I want them to wake up every morning and go, 'I'm excited to work on this character. I'm excited to work on this suit.' So we leaned on them as well, because a lot of them are hardcore comic-book fans, and they have their suits." We Learned Why Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Didn't Have Any Big Wolverine Crossovers or Teases Besides the Suit I think with our Venom there's still some morality," Intihar said before laughing. "But with Carnage, it's like playtime. So, who knows? Things can happen in the future." What Is Insomniac Most Proud of With Marvel's Spider-Man 2? A lot of those are PS4, and then even the ones that showed up in the remaster, they have to be basically PS5-sized or whatever," he says of the suits. "They have to be upgraded. So there's a work factor to get it in there." He's trying to connect with him. But at the very end, it's Peter who is the one ripping the symbiote off. The final step needs to be taken by the person, right? And I think that's what we try to show in a superhero way." It’s worth remembering that Spider-Man 2 contains loads of Easter eggs, many of which point to other Marvel superheroes. There are nods to Doctor Strange and Wong. The Fantastic Four’s Baxter Building is present and correct, as is The Avengers tower. Ganke mentions the Rand Corporation, which teases the existence of Iron Fist. While superheroes other than the Spider-Men are conspicuous by their absence in the game, something a recent comic book referenced, perhaps Insomniac plans a Heroes for Hire or Defenders spin-off / DLC of some kind.Like I mentioned, there was a discussion to a point where it's a concept image of Venomized Sandman. Super cool idea. Maybe one day… I'm probably getting in trouble for saying it, but whatever. It's a really cool image. It's really cool. We were never going to get it done at the quality we wanted to, and it was going to be… it was enough of a challenge to make regular Sandman cool. In an alternate reality, a version of the Clone Saga storyline happened, only in this one, Peter was more of an asshole to Ben Reilly instead of treating him like a brother. When Peter found out that he was possibly the clone, he got extra pissed about it right around the time when the Carnage symbiote was nearby. He became Spider-Carnage and created a plan to destroy the multiverse. I think we've always wanted to show our world from all levels," Intihar said. "So, we obviously want to show Pete and Miles in their suit doing super things, but we feel it's just as important to show their lives and have playable experiences outside the suit like with Venom. Because I think if you have relatable human stories and motivations, the moments in the suit matter more. I will tell you… I haven't told anybody this,” Bryan Intihar told IGN, “we did have a Venomized Sandman concept.” This April, the team of Chip Zdarsky and Pasqual Ferry will be doing a four-issue take on Marvel’s What If? by giving us Spider-Man: Spider’s Shadow. The idea? Spider-Man not only never gets rid of his hungry ooze pants, but he embraces his hungry ooze pants!

I don't know if I would say a particular thing," Intihar tells us. "I think some type of natural setting. I do love that. I do love that moment in No Way Home when he's swinging through the forest and eventually, he finds Electro and Sandman." Spider-Man 2 Director Explains Why Those MJ Stealth Scenes Had to Be Included What's more, he continues, the web wings and capes present in Spider-Man 2 made things wonky with some of the suit designs, and would have required a lot more work to make every single suit function on a basic level with the game's mechanics, look, and feel. Insomniac belives in the importance of showing MJ as a "capable hero" despite her not having powers, and this thought process led to her increidble powerful stun gun. Even though Pete does some crazy things with the symbiote, he never totally crosses the line," Intihar said. "With that in mind, we wanted to show a kind of unfiltered Venom and give players this ultimate power fantasy of what you could do with the symbiote. We wanted the player to go, 'This is how brutal this character could be.' We wanted to show that it's really going to take both Pete and Miles to take him down, because Kraven couldn't do it, all of the hunters couldn't do it, and all the Oscorp people couldn't do it either." So when the Miles team was working on Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, what I thought they were brilliant at was them not only showing Miles learning the kind of Spider-Man he wanted to be, but also him connecting to his new community in Harlem with those quests. I mean, all those people that show up at the very end are all the quest givers of that area.We wouldn't be true Marvel fans if we didn't have discussions like that," Intihar said. "I think for us it was, 'Hey, working on these games is really hard. They're really complicated.' And I think it was just like, 'Hey, let's let the Wolverine team cook. Let's let them cook and if something ever happens in the future, great. But right, now let's just make sure that let's not box anybody into a corner and let's just make sure that they have a clear runway to make the best Wolverine possible and it's going to be awesome.' So I'm really excited about it. But we wouldn't be like Marvel fans if we didn't talk about things." Intihar Discusses Where He Would Like to Set a Spider-Man Game Outside of New York City Intihar initially jokes that Peter was just "a little shy," but then admitted he didn't really know why the team hadn't chosen the Undies look to make it into Spider-Man 2. But he implies that maybe it just wasn't exciting to the teams working on the different suits. And so I think that's kind of like, find the elements of the character and story that people love and bring that to them, but how can you add your own spin? And I think that kind of direction what we've done with the whole franchise from the beginning is like, respect the DNA of the character, but don't be afraid to mix things up from time to time." Was It Always in the Plan to Let Us Play as Venom?
