Miles Morales

Spider-Man vs. Venom is a rivalry that's been going on for over 30 years - but not quite like this, as Dylan Brock, the current Venom and son of Eddie Brock, is going toe-to-toe with Peter Parker's Spider-Man protege, Miles Morales, in January.

Miles Morales will be the main Spider-Man going forward in Insomniac's games as Peter Parker is taking a much-deserved rest from the spandex and webs. But of course, gamers are gonna gamer, so there is plenty of outrage over this revelation.

The developers of hit PlayStation 5 exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 have said Miles Morales is the "main" Spider-Man from now on, which has caused some fans to speculate about what Insomniac may do with the inevitable Spider-Man 3.

Two members of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 narrative team have shed more light on the game's ending, and what it means for Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

is a huge improvement over its predecessors in many ways, with a larger map, faster traversal, a game-changing fast-travel system, and the ability to swap between both Peter Parker and Miles Morales' Spider-Men. However, for those who played the previous titles in Insomniac Games' acclaimed superhero series, it can feel like the newest entry has taken a step back in one specific area: the game's gadgets.

When was first revealed in a trailer showing Peter and Miles fighting side by side, there was speculation that the game could have an additional co-op mode for players to take control of both heroes simultaneously. As the game's promotion went on, however, it became clear that Insomniac Games' sequel would be single player just like its predecessors.

features two playable protagonists, Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Throughout the duration of, both Peter and Miles will unlock a plethora of abilities that will add to their already impressive arsenal of crime-fighting skills and gadgets. While these impressive abilities are generally worth the time and effort to unlock from the skill tree, some of Spider-Man's are undoubtedly better than others, and should be obtained as soon as possible.

Spider-Man 2 creative director Bryan Intihar has once again teased Daredevil, following an update that reinstated a reference to the Marvel character.

Insomniac Games, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, has been a big win with fans. The highly anticipated PS5 game is arguably the best the industry has to offer, and it’s easy to see why. In a stroke of genius, Insomniac Games is giving you the ability to seamlessly switch between two beloved characters, Peter Parker and Miles Morales. It makes for fascinating gaming and keeps you hooked with its refreshing new take on the gaming experience. Alas, one flaw has become apparent, and fans have not been shy to voice their opinions on it. Fans and gamers have been hating on the superhero suit / costume worn by Miles Morales in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

It’s been a week since Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 dropped. The game received rave reviews, and gamers are having a ball playing it. The game mechanics are a dream; the graphics are spectacular, especially the spatial layout and design of New York and its surroundings. Gliding and web-slinging through the urban landscapes on a mission is an exhilarating experience. The game is great even if you change characters, like switching from Peter Parker to Miles Morales. Other highlights in the game are the story and Spider-Man’s gadgets. Reviewers can ramble about what’s been great about the game, but sometimes even great games come with problems. One such problem is popping up online from players complaining about a side mission with Hailey Cooper in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Although Kraven was briefly hinted at occupying the role of the ultimate antagonist in , in reality, that distinction goes to one of the most universally recognized antagonists from the Spider-Man franchise, the amorphous sentient alien symbiote, Venom. While numerous figures have held the unenviable role of playing host to Venom in the franchise's numerous movies, comics, and video games, in the dishonor belongs to Peter Parker and MJ's friend, Harry Osborn.

Part of what makes our friendly neighborhood Spidey so special is his care and compassion for community. In Spider-Man 2, side quests reinforce some of the series’ guiding ideals: heroism isn’t always about taking down larger-than-life villains, like The Sandman. Sometimes, your challenges require a more thoughtful touch.

Mary Jane Watson plays a significant role in , both from a narrative perspective as Peter's girlfriend, but also as a temporarily playable character, and most interestingly as part of one of the game's more surprising twists. MJ was introduced to the Spider-Man canon in 1965; since then she has gone on to become Peter Parker's main love interest and the principal beneficiary of his affection in the franchise's many movies, comics, and video games.

, while telling its own complete narrative, has set up plenty of plot points for a future entry in the acclaimed superhero series. Although a new entry has yet to be officially announced by Sony or Insomniac Games, it seems inevitable after 's impressive sales, in which the game became the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game in its first 24 hours.

This Marvel's Spider-Man 2 swing comparison video has made fans realize just how much more nimble Peter and Miles are in the sequel. 

Two months ago, renowned leaker The Snitch said a God of War Ragnarök DLC/standalone expansion was in the works and around 60% complete. The rumor was more than a bit surprising, as the previous installment received no DLC. Moreover, just after the game's launch last year, Game Director Eric Williams publicly stated fans shouldn't count on a DLC since the game was already very big.

Though only recently released, is already being lauded as one of the best exclusives to be released on PS5. This triumph of gameplay and storytelling brings together Peter Parker and Miles Morales as the pair defend New York City and take on a seemingly never-ending barrage of the most powerful villains from across the expansive roster of antagonists that feature in the franchise. While the game is exceptional in many respects, one area that is very familiar with the game's predecessors, and, is the inclusion of random street crimes that Spider-Man can choose to stop.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has just dropped, but fans are already thinking ahead to future stories in Insomniac's Spiderverse. Scanning through clues in the game, players think that we're getting a Daredevil-focused DLC, introducing a new nemesis - The Hand.

's story is packed with emotional moments as players navigate the next chapter in Peter Parker and Miles Morales' lives. Developer Insomniac Games deftly balances epic superhero action with relatable personal experiences throughout its acclaimed superhero series, and in doing so, perfectly conveys the spirit of the character and what has made the hero so popular over the years.

We’re still swinging, soaring, and flying high after the recent release of the critically acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

The first-party title has also become the fastest selling PlayStation Studios title in PlayStation history, shipping over 2.5 million copies in the first 24 hours of its release, Sony Interactive Entertainment confirmed.

Now, Insomniac has confirmed that the title will be set in the same universe as Spider-Man 2.

is replete with additions and improvements to the previous titles from developer Insomniac Games, but one feature that isn't present is a huge missed opportunity. The newest entry expands on its predecessors by putting both Peter Parker and Miles Morales at the forefront, testing their mettle and web-slinging prowess against threats new and old. From a world with increased density and scale to developments like seamless fast travel that can jump to any point on the map, Insomniac Games pushed the envelope in many ways while failing to implement an age-old option that generates fun.

Like the first, features a vast array of villains and several exceptional bosses; however, not all of the interactions with bosses are equal in excitement, fun, or difficulty, some of the game's boss battles are far more challenging than others. Though each boss battle in presents a unique set of challenges, a few of these fights will push the player's ability to its very limits.

features an impressive lineup of suits for Peter Parker and Miles Morales, but one great option from the first game is bafflingly absent. Switching up styles is a great way to shake up the feeling of web-slinging, and a variety of styles from different sources across history make it easy to do so. The very best suits bring iconic looks to life in game with accuracy and panache, occasionally even utilizing different styles for lighting or animation to truly carry across the nature of their inspiration.

Spider-Man 2 creative director, Bryan Intihar has confirmed that Insomniac‘s Spider-Man games take place in the same universe as its upcoming Wolverine game.

The primary plot of Spider-Man 2 involves Kraven the Hunter, a small army, and a slew of supervillains, but similar to the previous game, Spider-Man 2 encourages players to take time to do other things. In Insomniac’s Spider-Man games, being Spider-Man doesn’t simply mean foiling super-criminals, but using your powers to give back, exercising that Great Responsibility that is core to the character’s ethos. And so, in between confrontations with Kraven and the symbiotic black suit that creeps into the narrative, the player does the everyday work of being a superhero.

In fact, the latter even lets you throw up a wholesome Wakanda Forever salute outside of its doors as a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, but you'd better make sure you're playing as Miles Morales if you want to do it.

Let’s talk about superheroes. Because let’s be honest, they’re EVERYWHERE in our world now. Movies, TV shows, even prose novels, not to mention…you know…comic books?

Upon booting up Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, I did what any self-respecting New Yorker would do: I beelined it toward my favorite part of the city as soon as possible, to see how Insomniac Games had recreated the locale. In my case, this meant veering toward South Brooklyn, even as Sandman was wreaking havoc on the infrastructure of Manhattan’s Financial District. However, as I swung beneath the gothic arches of Brooklyn Bridge, the better to glimpse the steel girders and stevedore cranes of Red Hook from a distance, the vista confirmed what I had feared deep down: My favorite neighborhood wasn’t even there.

Spider-Man 2 is hiding the fate of Rhino beneath the city, out-of-bounds and out of sight. At least, his original fate. We're not meant to find this treasure trove that clkz uncovered, so for the time being, it can only be considered cut content. In other words, Kraven's unfinished lair lurking beneath New York City isn't canon to the story, but it does beg the question of what happened to Rhino.

Mysterio is causing chaos in New York City in , and he's crafted a series of challenges for Miles Morales' Spider-Man.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 fans think a new suit for Miles Morales is "the worst suit" in all of the Spidey games.

Never let it be said that video game companies don’t know how to have fun with their fanbases and properties. Whether it’s Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony, each one of them has created things over the years that go beyond just “making video games” and play into the public love of other things. For Sony, they’re continuing to push the PlayStation 5 system as it’s been doing great sales-wise ever since the parts shortages ended a while back. As such, Sony decided that one of the best ways to highlight their characters and console was to become an official sponsor of the Champion’s League!

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 hit PlayStation 5 last week and it's already Sony's fastest-selling first-party game ever.

Both characters have featured a wide variety of incarnations and storyline across comics, films, and more, but the games have taken care to build consistent story arcs with each of them.
