I'm really excited for this. I loved the first Spider-Man game but have yet to play Miles Morales, so at least I can get a fix of Spider-Man goodness while waiting for this to come out.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 | Gameplay Reveal
We got our first look at gameplay footage from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 to close out today's PlayStation Showcase, showcasing new powers and the ability to play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales:



As seen in the opening moments of the trailer, we're introduced to the games main villain who is known as Kraven the Hunter. His search for an equal has led him to New York, filled with a rogue’s gallery of villains and the Spider-Men, Peter Parker and Miles Morales. The gameplay kicks off with Kraven’s Hunters, a new enemy faction, searching for Dr. Curt Connors, a.k.a. The Lizard, at his home across the East River in Queens, one of the all-new playable and explorable boroughs being introduced in this game.

Their search doesn't go too well though, as instead of finding Connor they're instead greeted by Peter Parker, and it's here we witness the introduction of the Black Suit, also known as the Symbiote. After demonstrating some of the new powers the Symbiote grants to Parker, he realizes he won't manage to reach Connor's actual location in time to stop Kraven. It's here that we see the perspective switch to Miles Morales over in Harlem, and from there things progressively kick into higher gears until culminating in a chase sequence along the East River, showcasing more of the new abilities available to both Spider-Men in this title.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will release in Fall 2023.

I don't have a ps5 but that looks amazing. like seriously loved every bit of that gameplay trailer. Venom mechanics were great too and they weren't shy about showing how it affects him. Seemless transition from one character to another was seriously impressive too. That means loading a whole new part of the city instantly. This is why Sony kills it with the games they make.

I've been spending all day thinking how they could better advertise this game and honestly couldn't come up with anything. I enjoyed watching Moony play the first iteration, but I gotta say, this trailer... well, I guess let's just say if you aren't a MCU/Marvel Comic fan, this was definitely a worse for wear watch. It was extremely long winded in its presentation of taking you from quicktime event to quicktime event, to the very particularly set-piecey action sequences that would only befit a comic book. But like, how else are they going to sell a sequel to the first game? We know the mechanics, we know the characters... justifying a sequel required this sort of popcorn-flick style of action to get someone invested.
