Insomniacs 2018 Spider-Man title is obviously one of the greatest superhero games of all time. I don’t think that’s a controversial statement, is it? It granted us a compelling, emotional Spidey story, thrilling fighting mechanics (which helped inspire NWH might we add) and all the villains our hearts could desire.

Not only this, but the recreation of the open-world of Manhattan is undoubtedly one of the best incarnations of the city I’ve ever seen in gaming. The Big Apple is jam-packed with exciting side activities, ranging from thwarting random dangerous crimes to collecting Howards lost pigeons. Just goes to show that no problem is too small for our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

These side missions perfectly showcase the daily dilemmas our favourite hero faces. Not every threat is going to lead to a city-wide panic, which is what I think really helps make the character more relatable than other infamous superheroes such as The Avengers. Would you have seen Iron Man fetching lost purple balloons for children on the streets of NYC? I don’t think so.

Despite the wide variety of missions to delve into, there was indeed one unique activity which we’ve seen previously that failed to make an appearance. This one event has led fans to cry out for its addition in the upcoming sequel, but what exactly could it be?

Have fans missed the Pizza Time sequences from Spider-Man 2? Perhaps its the comic book collecting we did in The Amazing Spider-Man title? Or could it even be the decision-making we were forced to make in Web Of Shadows? Well, there’s only one way for you to find out! Before you continue reading, have a quick look at the sequels upcoming trailer down below:

Spider-Man Fans Hope For Fire Rescue Missions In Sequel

Of course it’s the Fire Rescue missions! How could it not be? A stalwart in every Raimi Spider-Man film, fans would love to see their transition to gaming once more  to add even more variety to the roster. Whether from freak accidents or calculated arsonists, any excuse to get them part of the game play would be very much appreciated.

Fans expressed their interest in seeing Fire Rescue Missions on Reddit, with the idea gaining popularity fairly quickly. Would you like to be swinging in saving civilians from falling debris? It’d certainly make you feel like Spider-Man, that’s for sure.

Formerly, we had seen them appear in the controversial movie tie-in Amazing Spider-Man 2 game. However, like the game itself, they were fairly hit-or-miss with certain players. For example, on reddit user suggested they would have to be implemented very differently if they were to be a success in the new game.

“Spider sense acts very differently so you won’t have to switch between looking for people and seeing the walls” says Kbcoolkid. “This will definitely make it easier. I still have PTSD from those awful fire missions and I would avoid them at all costs”.

Despite this, many others would still welcome the concept, as it allows them to feel like they’re saving people instead of just repetitively defeating enemies.

“I Strongly second that idea” writes Reddit user KuroiGetsuga. “It was one of the few things I liked in TASM 2, to go in, find people, and pull them out one by one. We need more events where we actually have to save people instead of just beating up bad guys. We have car accidents in Spider-Man PS4, but I miss the events from Ultimate where you actually had to carry people to the hospital before they bleed out and die”.

What’d you think of the addition of Fire Rescue Missions in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2? Is there any other side mission you’d like to see the web crawler take on? Let us know down in the comments below!

We have known for some time that Spiderman is on his way to the somewhat lackluster “Marvel’s Avengers” video game by square enix, but now, at long last we have a release date.

As revealed in the most recent roadmap update posted to Twitter, Spiderman will Launch on the 30th of november 2021 as a part of the games next major event. That being said, this is only for PlayStation 4 and 5 players. PC and Xbox players will not see Spiderman enter the game due to Sony owning the rights to the character and Holding an Iron fist over them. Between the ever growing doubt of Spiderman’s Continued existence in the Marvel Cinematic universe and now this, Sony seems hell bent on Controlling Everything to do with the character.

The Event will be titled “Spider man: With Great Power Hero Event” (which really rolls of the tongue) and will follow Spidey as he uncovers an Aims conspiracy to Build a “Synthoid army”. It has also been suggested that Spidey will develop a close friendship with Kamala Khan Miss Marvel and Black widow, while simultaneously trying to keep his identity from them both.

Everything else about spider man’s addition to the game, including his appearance, is being kept under wraps but developer Crystal Dynamics.

Marvels Avengers has had a rough Time recently, with controversy over the selling of XP boosters and “Pay to Win mechanics” in the game, although as of yesterday it has come out that these are being removed from the game.

PlayStation 5 players will also get to see the sequel to 2018’s “Marvels Spiderman” in 2023, which will see Peter and Miles take on Venom.

The post Spiderman Swings his way into Marvel’s Avengers first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Over the last 30 days Square Enix’s “Avengers” game, which at one point looked like a promising game, has struggled to break over 800 concurrent players on steam. Even with the boost of new players from the game coming to XBox game pass, “Avengers” has been doing worse and worse as the months go on.

And it just gets worse. Shortly after the game came to XBox Game Pass, Square updated “Avengers” to sell XP boosters, in a stark betrayal of a promise made in june of 2019, that the game would “Wont have won’t have random loot boxes or pay to win scenarios”

The XP boosters price varies, costing between 100 Credits to 500 Credits, or roughly $5 in real money. This also comes after a massive nerf to XP rates back in March, under the guise that the XP rate was “Too confusing” for new players.

Some players also worry that this marks a shift in direction, and that the free consumables offered currently will eventually be phased out, in favour of the game going for a full Free-to-play style.

While there is some debate as to if this change does constitute “Pay to Win”, given the game does not have any PVP, it is undeniable that the reception has been overwhelmingly negative. One reddit user, FantasticMeddler, wrote “SE and CD decided a long time ago that new players were their priority and those of us that pre ordered were paid beta testers. They could give a fuck for any existing players except the whales.”

Another, Motor_Structure7156 wrote in a separate post “They blatantly and repeatedly stated there would be no Loot Boxes or Pay-to-win mechanics. Labeling it `Pay-to-progress-a-bit-faster` is more accurate perhaps but it does not negate the lie that they told. If I am ignorant or disingenuous for calling a spade a spade and not a `human-tool digging interface appliance` then so be it.

As the game struggles to find a footing amid numerous other controversies, this will definitely not help “Avengers” in the long term. The game has struggled to hit a chord with any player base and came out into a market saturated with heavy hitters like “Destiny 2”, “Warframe” and “Borderlands”, so even this potentially drop-in-the-ocean controversy will be a big problem for the game going forward.

PlayStation Showcase announced some epic upcoming releases yesterday and this one has certainly got people’s spidey senses tingling…

PlayStation Showcase took place last night and everybody was excited about the titles that were announced, including Insomniac Games announcing the sequel to its PS4 exclusive Spider-Man, with the PS5 exclusive Spider-Man 2. 

The news was announced in a reveal trailer for the PlayStation Showcase and revealed that Venom would be the main antagonist for the sequel too.

Spider-Man 2 Trailer Breakdown

The 1:37 length reveal trailer for Spider-Man 2 manages to pack a punch with the very few scenes of cutscenes and gameplay footage involved. It opens up with a shot of an eerie street at night in New York City (captured on a PS5) and the voiceover of Tony Todd (Candyman, 2021), starting what can only be described as the typical villain sinister monologue, but it still sends shivers down your spine with the suspenseful music playing behind his perfectly hoarse voice. We then see Peter Parker’s iconic blue and red Spider-Man suit along with a scene of him taking down a bad guy in his Iron Spider Suit, followed by a shot of Miles Morales iconic black and red Spider-Man suit and a scene of him taking down a bad guy. We then see a cut of the two of them working together as the unrevealed villain continues to describe how he has yet to meet his match, and as the camera cuts back to Parker and Morales standing together in the street staring into a dark alleyway, the voice hints that Parker and Morales could give him what he so “desires”. The suspense picks up as the camera shifts towards the alleyway and we hear the distinguishable voice of Venom replying to the question, and a split second of Venom’s face appears as the end scene for the trailer, and the trailer ends the game will be out in 2023.

Spider-Man 2: What We Know

Spider-Man 2 is going to be a PS5 exclusive, which worked really well for the original, having been initially released back in 2018 and has now sold over 18 million units so far, while the spin-off game, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, released last year has sold over 4 million units.

Tony Todd was cast as the voice of Venom in what is the perfect casting for the role as seen in the trailer above, and it has been confirmed Yuri Lowenthal and Nadji Jeter will return to voice Peter Parker and Miles Morales respectively. It has also been confirmed the original development team behind Spider-Man will be returning too.

We’re so thrilled to continue the journey of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales in their most epic single-player adventure yet. – Ryan Schneider, Head of Franchise Strategy and Studio Relations at Insomniac Games.

Insomniac Games announced another Marvel superhero is coming to PS5, which you can read about here.

2023 couldn’t come sooner.
