I’m kind of annoyed that they didn’t include any street level heroes in the sequel. I understood the first game wanting to establish Spiderman and Spiderman related characters but I was at least expecting one side mission with Daredevil or an appearance from the Punisher.

Even the characters in the world don’t really chatter about the Avengers and the like to explain where they are. A throw away line on the news about a problem over seas would have done it.

Early minor SPOILERS from a Side mission





There’s a side mission with Black Cat where she steals a mystic relic from the Sanctum Sanctorum and yet there’s literally no one in it to stop her. You get a message at the end from Wong saying “Thank You. Just got back from Nepal”

Would it have killed them? It would have made the Universe feel a little bit bigger.

DarkZane942d ago

This isn't a side mission, it's a main mission.

-Foxtrot942d ago (Edited 942d ago )

Well point is main or side they could have done it

Breakshot942d ago

I thought the same, I was hoping to see Strange but no, unfortunately not. I miss how Spidey games would have had appearances from Deadpool, Wolverine, Daredevil, Juggernaut, etc.

Especially how high steaks the action is by the final main mission. No Avengers, F4, Defenders. Just buildings and references. =(

-Foxtrot942d ago

Just makes the world feel smaller

These guys are doing a Wolverine game which I’m guessing shares the same universe as Spiderman so how come they refuse to show other characters

Imagine the final missions where Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, Moon Knight and the Punisher are helping around the city to control the threat…it would have felt high stakes with everyone pitching in to help.

VersusDMC941d ago (Edited 941d ago )

Spidey's game cameos back in the day were because Activision had the game rights for a bunch of marvel properties back in the day and could mix them up .

Abnor_Mal942d ago (Edited 942d ago )

The question is, does Sony have any rights to these other heroes you are suggesting should be in thr game.

As far as I’ve heard Sony Having Spider-Man hives them access to ninety other characters that are a part of Spideys gallery of characters. I don’t think they can just pull any NYC hero and slap them into the game just cause they’re NYC based.

All they can do is make vague references to those other heroes, but not actually put them into the game.

-Foxtrot942d ago

But Taskmaster was in the first game

Taskmaster (awfully f****** done by the way) was in Black Widow, an MCU film

Abnor_Mal942d ago (Edited 942d ago )

@Foxtrot
True, but Taskmaster IS a part of Spideys rogues gallery, but he is also a part of many other hero’s galleries, like Captain America and Deadpool.

I guess Marvel decides who can and can’t not be in what, and if it pleases them will slightly loosen their grip so a character could be used.

Agreed, what they did to Taskmaster in the MCU in Black Widow was an abomination of the character. But what would you expect from such a throwaway movie.

ChronoJoe942d ago

It probably is very difficult to do without a lot of forward planning due to the licensing stuff. When I used to work with Lego studios they had a massive back and forth with license holders whenever they wanted to add anything related to characters that weren’t already signed off.

So it’s possible but it’s one of those things that gamers think is way less work than it is.

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

Grayson076100d 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?

Nyxus100d 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.

Eonjay100d ago

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

lodossrage100d ago (Edited 100d 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.

1nsomniac100d 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_100d ago

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

Chocoburger99d 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.

DEKUX1299d 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

Eonjay100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

Love the article description!

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

MrBaskerville100d 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.

Here's How Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Holds Up on the $1,000 ROG Xbox Ally X

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.

darthv72220d 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.

shadowT220d ago

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

drivxr220d ago (Edited 220d ago )

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

XBManiac220d ago

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

darthv72220d ago (Edited 220d ago )
