Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Will Reportedly Feature Three Separate Skill Trees

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will feature three different skill trees. One for Miles and Peter each, and the third one for shared abilities.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will allow us to simultaneously switch between both characters at a whim, making having separate skill trees even more convenient to the users.

Has this been confirmed? We've seen them switch characters at a certain point but do we know if we can do this during regular gameplay? That would be my hope. Even mid combo.

Destraride1081d ago (Edited 1081d ago )

It is confirmed that it will be possible during certain story moments according to the official blog. Though no mention of its availability in regular gameplay yet. The article has also updated the vague wording to explicitly state the story part.

SDuck1081d ago

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to switch during free roam

Abracadabra1081d ago

Wasn't impressed with the Spiderman 2 gameplay video. Looked like Spiderman 1 with a lot of QTA's... guess it's for the cinematic experience. Seems more of the same, like a DLC.

mkis0071081d ago

I'm sure you hate sequels to games then.

Shadowsteal1081d ago

Can you help illustrate what you would have liked to see from a sequel?

GhostScholar1081d ago

I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but that’s what sequels do. They change small things but keep the spirit of their predecessors. The last of us, horizon, god of war, Zelda, mass effect, etc they all do that just so you know.

__SteakDeck__1081d ago

It’s sad that today, gaming sequels are not allowed.

Daeloki1081d ago

Calm down it was a 10min clip of the gameplay, and it was a chase scene. Personally this is a way more entertaining way of doing a chase scene, compared to the ones we had in the first game, like Shocker and Black Cat where you just swinged after them for a few minutes. But more than anything else, did you even see the symbiote suit? How fucking amazing it looked? The symbiote suit was my main concern, since it's one of my favourite sides of Spidey, and I couldn't be happier with the direction they took.

I wonder if they're being sneaky in saying that there'll be a "shared" skill tree but in reality it's a separate skill tree for Venom. Cause they must know people will wanna play as Venom.

SDuck1081d ago

I can see the shared skill tree being true so you don't need to unlock the same move for both spideys (like gliding for example).

My guess is, there might be more than just 3. I can see Symbiote Spidey getting a skill tree too

z2g1081d ago (Edited 1081d ago )

I’m pretty underwhelmed by everything I saw of Travis game. I’m already burned out on superhero themed things as is, and this game looks nearly identical to the last one. It’s almost like they just “Call of Duty’d” it. Also - even tho they are cool and all, I’m actually starting to get bored with Sony’s big set piece moments. They’re so common Sony games now it’s starting to make those moments feel less special. I dunno. All this stuff just feels so corporate driven now. I miss wild, edgy, creative, out there Sony.

Lore1081d ago

Skill trees alone are so simplistic, people should expect more from these companies

Chocoburger1078d ago (Edited 1078d ago )

Not just simplistic, but lazy and shallow game design. There's a reason why so many games these days have them. Because it doesn't require creativity to implement them.

First: Create a character and a move list.

Second: Strip away all the fun abilities.

Third: Add grind elements just to gain the abilities that the designers took away, which also makes the early game boring.

Fourth: Grind for EXP in a vain attempt at making your game feel as if it has "character progression".

Fifth: Casual gamers who don't know any better love this, because they're tricked into believing that the game has "depth", when in reality, said game let's you progress through grinding instead of skill, which shows a lack of depth.

Solid line up.

I knew TDU SC eventually come on PS Plus. Glad I cancelled preorder for Astro or instead.
I heard TDU SC was a mess at launch. Did it improve? I'm going to give it a try

Grayson07690d ago

This is unrelated to the actual post, but can anyone tell me what happened to this site? It used to be the best place to get news, but now it seems like barely any big news comes through, there's little discussion, and it seems to be dying overall. I know there was awhile where I couldn't access the site, but that's been taken care of for a long time. What happened?

Nyxus90d ago

There are a lot of technical issues and it doesn't seem there are many people left who approve stories, so they take a long time to get approved, if they get approved at all.

Eonjay90d ago

Money. It was sold to someone who wanted to maximize the ad revenue while investing nothing into the actual site. Money killed it.

lodossrage90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

I'll add to what Nyxus and Eonjay said

Another reason is trolls are allowed to run rampant. So the few times discussions might happen, they get derailed fast.
There's also the fact that they're more strict on what gets approved now compared to what they were back in the day.

1nsomniac90d ago

Site’s been slowly turning to garbage over the past 5 years. It’s currently almost unusable. Full of utter shit adverts covering everything. You cant even access your profile notifications and it’s been like that for what must be over a year now. It really has become an amateur shit show here.

maximusprime_90d ago

True, I tried opening "my submission" and it opened someone else's list of submissions...

Chocoburger90d ago

An endless amount of rude trolls, along with terrible and inconsistent moderation. I once got banned for saying S***, but then there are other people who can drop F-bombs and not get banned. Mods also punish the wrong people often, just stupidity all around. I stopped submitting stories and I rarely comment these days due to the lack of proper moderation.

DEKUX1290d ago

Always thought this was just a Sony pony troll site lol. But it used to be nuts. I used to check this site every day same as siliconera. I do still check here and there but yeah ain’t what it used to be

Eonjay90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

Love the article description!

Also someone had the foresight to put Neva on there... and monter hunter Stories. Solid additions all around.

MrBaskerville90d ago

They had a strong classic library last year, I don't hope they plan to double down on disney releases again this year, like they've done before.

A noticeable improvement over the Steam Deck, but those reflections are hilarious. You're definitely paying for better quality with that hefty price tag. I do like that density isn't really affected by quality, though.

darthv72210d ago

For the performance they were going for, increasing the reflections would not have been viable. The deck and rog can certainly be taken further into the quality mode, but obviously performance takes a huge hit..... but it does look good on a little screen.

shadowT211d ago

Yes, it runs somehow in low graphic resolution and with very limited effects. $1000 for this quality?

drivxr211d ago (Edited 211d ago )

Looks impressive for a handheld that lets you play anywhere other than a living room or a desk.

XBManiac210d ago

It works best with Steam OS, so don't despair.

darthv72210d ago (Edited 210d ago )
