PlayStation Universe sat down with Brant Nicholas, Executive Producer at Beenox, and talked about some of the the most important aspects of its new title Amazing Spider-Man. The questions range from combat to the open-world experience all the way to the upcoming voice acting of Bruce Campbell as the Extreme Reporter.
From the Amazing Spider-Man series to the most recent titles and DLCs, explore which Spider-Man game deserves to be ranked first and why.
Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man use to be my favorite until Insomniac games took over.
My favorite and still champion Spiderman PS2, followed by Marvels Spiderman2, then Miles Morales, followed by Marvels Spiderman, and finally Ultimate Spiderman.
I need to drag out my PS3 and try Web of Shadows, owned the game for years and years and never played.
Spider-Man (2000), Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions were all so good! I have fond memories playing them.

2600 Spider-man was the first I ever played. So many memories of that and Superman game. I didn't play another SM game until the Sega CD Spider-man vs the Kingpin
Spider-Man 2018 (Insomniac’s game) is the absolute worst…I’m kidding, I’m kidding. The absolute BEST Spider-Man games to date!
1. Spider-Man: Miles Morales “ “Insomniac”
2. Marvels Spider-Man 2018 “Insomniac”
3. Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions.
4 Spider-Man 2.
5 Spider-Man (I forget the name) but I played it when I was about 10 or so, back in school. I thought it was the coolest game (which was a side scroller) and believe it or not, I felt like I was playing Spider-Man lol. If only I knew what the future would hold for technology, the talent of artists in these studios in the future, my eyes and brain would melt outta my head haha.
Ultimate Spiderman is definitely #3 on my list and a gem of the PS2/XB/GC era imo.
I can see an argument to flip 1 and 2 but I think the improvements Insomniac made to Miles Morales does technically put it a step above the original. Because it was Miles it was something refreshingly different too.
Nice! I’m glad you enjoyed Ultimate Spider-Man. I forgot about that one. That was a good one!
Yeah, I can see that argument to clip 1 and 2 as well but the improvements added in Miles Morales for me definitely put it above the original, which is why I put it as my #1. I absolutely love both tho!
The first one I played was on the Game Gear called Spider-man vs the Kingpin. Definitely one of the worst Spider-Man games but I loved it as a kid. My favorite Spider-Man games include Spider-Man PS1/64, Maximum Carnage, Web Of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions, ASM 1 and the two Sony recent Sony exclusive ones. Edge of Time and ASM 2 get honorable mentions because though I did enjoy them both felt like step back from the previous titles.
They absolutely nailed the physics in that game. No game has ever come close.
Spider-Man The Movie, the game will probably be my favorite SP game ever, with the nostalgia goggles on. I doubt it would hold up at all today. Shattered Dimensions was great too.
The Crash Team Racing Firehawk Kart aims to raise $1 million for The Call of Duty Endowment which helps rehabilitate disabled veterans so they can work.
Just got it today. Activision makes you click through like 80 pages of privacy and property rights before you can play lmao. It’s all Of these idiots out here suing over the dumbest things lol. Sign your textbook please.
You see how entitled people can be. The community playing the game got all hateful and toxic for the fact they added MTX, but changed nothing in the game. Even more, gave more ways to make coins. Also free updates every month that's so far all had 3 or more characters, and a bunch of others like 3 new karts every month, a bunch of costumes etc. New stages etc. All free. But they're mad that the option was added with no negative effects lol. They gotta protect there butts. People really think these companies are suppose to treat them like their kids lol
Great game so far I’m having a blast. I wish the store had more than a few things at a time actually. Mk11 did the same thing so I had a crap ton of coins just from playing but the thing I want never comes up in the store. I’m a big Halloween guy and I bought it for the Grand Prix Halloween thing. Free characters and stuff yeah I agree. I just thought forcing you through the TOS was funny. Like 80 pages no skip feature. Individual California laws lmao. That is no concern to me at all, It’s crazy.
The only truly free element that you mention is the stages. Sure you don't need real money to get all the new characters, skins and karts but boy will you have to grind for it. I quit halfway the 2nd GP because I was putting in 1,5-2 hours of real play time just for the 30 min of wumpa time bonus. Especially with the increased Warp Orb and Clocks at the time (and online being the only way to make your Wumpa bonus really matter) made it into such a grindfest. Activision were deciding how often I would play and I just refused to be dance at their whim any longer.
I see a lot of the issues have been resolved but I'd rather just wait for the online support to end/die down and just buy the "here's everything pack" for 10 euro down the line than spending hundreds of hours unlocking skins, karts and characters I'll hardly use anyway.
So no, the community isn't hateful and toxic, it's just that we don't like being dictated when to play and for much longer than we would want. The game was made with this grindiness in mind, so MTX would seem meaningful. But you carry on hating on people calling Activision out for these practices and enjoy buying a bare bones product in the future that you'll have to spend many hours and/or real money to get a similar product to games we got up to the early 2000's.
