I wouldn't mind different spider-whatevers to have a chance to mainline each new Spider-Man game. Or just skip it all to give me Venom.

Oh. Why? No big spoilers please, I haven’t played SM2 yet, I have it on my to-play list but all I hear about it these days makes me want to wait for a price drop or PS+ release - too short and buggy for full price and too much shoehorned politics I can’t relate to.
They basically made him completely weak emotionally and always needing to be saved by everyone else.

Hmm, and Miles Morales is in there too and seen as the real or stronger Spider-Man?
Yep. He has a "struggle", but wins. Peter has multiple struggles and seemingly loses consistently and needs to be saved from the help of his friends.
To put it in as non-spoilery terms as possible.

I enjoyed one, but hated the Miles bits. Never played MM because exactly that. My interest in playing 2 wasn't very high to begin with due to the 'two spider men' narrative - and I'm pretty sure I just won't now. Spider Man is Peter Parker. It's been that way since I was a kid. Those are the stories I'm interested in. I wish they'd just do a totally seperate Miles Morales series if this is what they wanted to do. I suppose that's what they're doing now, so good for everyone that enjoys it. Hopefully one day I can get a good Peter only game.

Yeah, not interested then.
Shit character, not funny, badly written. Spiderman is Peter Parker. The end.

A lot of missed opportunities for his iconic roster.

I AM NOT CRAZY! ….. i am not crazy… I KNOOOOOW they’re trying to race swap Spider-Man, I know they want to make games with a black protagonist. Right in line with their whole pandering, as if rocksteady would ever do something so stupid with their Batman games, never, NEVER! We just can’t prove it! Th-they covered their tracks, they got those idiots on metacritic to lie for them! You think this is something? You think this is bad? This-this chicanery? They’ve done worse! That side mission!?? Are you telling me that a playable deaf black girl just HAPPENS to be in a Spider-Man video game? NO! They orchestrated it! INSOMNIAC! …. THEY DOUBLED DOWN ON THE PLAYABLE MJ SEGMENTS! And we still bought their game! And we should have, lauded it as a game of the year nominee… WHAT WERE WE THINKING!?? They’ll never change…. They’ll NEVER change, ever since 2018! Couldn’t stop aping rocksteady! “Oooh but not our insomniac! Couldn’t be precious insomniac!!” STEALING THEM BLIND! And they get to sell 2.5M in a day?!?! What a SICK JOKE! We should’ve stopped them we had the chance… and we-we have to stop them! We-……

it's not such a surprise from what i've played of Spider-Man 2 so far, the writers seem to have such a disdain towards Peter Parker and the OG stories, not like a hatred but it's pretty clear they don't want him in the product. Which was so surprising considering Spider-man PS4 was such a heartfelt story around Peter, you could feel the passion of the team writing it.
having a brief look on the internet it seems like the whole writing team is different and it definitely shows, at least the Miles stuff when it isn't doing Pander quests is fairly interesting, although his character goes under utilized and is more just used to make "Statements". overall the writing in Spider-Man 2 is really awful which really disappoints me with how great the first one was and how incredibly awesome the second one is to play, holy moly is it fun to play.
Why do people keep getting hired in entertainment to work on things they clearly don't like, it's so baffling to me.
Now i know IMDB isn't official when it comes to credits and can be manipulated but the proof is in the pudding if this is true:

same. my spidey-sense started telling me half way through the first game that, unlike the arkham games, & despite loving insomniac, the series just wasn't for me. knock yourselves out, kids...

Interesting. I like Miles. Hope Peter shows up again at some point though.

I honestly have zero confidence in Insomniac's Wolverine. With the way they go about handling this it really screams that they'll revision his persona and character entirely from the ground up. The testosterone laden Wolverine will probably be more timid like the new Kratos. I want them to prove me wrong, but Bryan Intihar's attitude doesn't inspire optimism.

Fuck them. Insomniac is trash.

That sucks because to me SpiderMan is Peter Parker, spent my whole childhood reading comics with him in it. My perception isn’t going to change any time soon. Guess it will be a wait for $20 kind of game now.

Well that reconfirms my notion to just say "Fuck insomniac".
Looks like SM2 will not be the last Sony game I'll completely ignore.

Thanks for the description. I’m sure the game is still enjoyable to play but not letting Peter be the strong one in this one seems weird. They already gave Miles his own game to shine in.

They didn't get the memo that BLM was a huge scam that even the vast majority of Afro-Americans can't stand.

hopefully as i showed earlier in the thread, the writing team that got pulled off of Spiderman PS4 is the A-Team and working on Wolverine meanwhile Spider-Man 2 had the C-Team.
that is my hope at least, but i'm definitely keeping an eye on it first before just buying it day 1, the game has to be really really good for me to overlook the shit writing

He's not terrible, but yes, Spiderverse Miles is way better. I havent finished SM3 but i feel like he deserves one more game...but so far they have glossed over a lot of Pete's story by reference older villians he's already fought.
In all though, there needs to be at least a 4 year gap between the next game.

It's not about time gap but improvements to formula. I don't want to play the same game for the 4th time.

Lady Deathstrike did nothing wrong. It's all Wolverine's fault for attacking the people experimenting on him. Don't worry they will ruin Rogue and Gambit too. : /

I understand, not the 90s or early 2000s when you could churn out 3-4 games in a series in just one gen, but given the scope and scale of some games its just not too feasible. Either more time is needed to revamp the series or they can churn out a quick sequel with minor upgrades/changes, but risk people getting burned out or claiming the cost isnt worth the addition.

Peter Parker is Spiderman. Miles Morales is Miles Morales. That's all.

Yuuuup! That's what the woke writers always do: They emasculate the character people care about in order to highlight the character they want to push.
It doesn't work. It never works.
All it will do is create outrage and make a solid percentage of the fanbase not buy SM4.
And why? Just so that Disney is hell bent on stop paying royalties to Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's descendants for using their character?
Morons.

The "miles morales original" at the end of sp2 that they force on you was the most dogshit costume in the whole game tho

If you played the first Spider-Man, you are not missing much (gameplay wise). And it's not even arguable: the first one has better story, writing and pacing.
