Starting point is 00:00:00 The reason I switched over to Xbox to PlayStation, the reason why I have said multiple times that this is the best rendition of Spider-Man we've ever received. And also, the reason why I'm already calling this the best game of 2023. It's because if you don't know, if you haven't listened to the podcast, which you definitely should, you know, follow at notorious mass effect. I've been on the record saying multiple times that Spider-Man is my favorite fictional creation of all time.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Very nerdy-type facts I'm throwing at you right now, but I just feel like you need to know where I stand with the character of Spider-Man. So in general, when a game like Insom-Oh, no, a developing studio like Insomniac gives us the best rendition of Spider-Man in at least 30-to-40-hour-type play through format where whereas we've received atrocious I just mean downright
Starting point is 00:01:07 atrocity creation like just atrocities and spin-off video games such as the amazing spider-man video spin-off games one and two both of them was atrocious the Sam ramy spider-man games they were solid but definitely nothing compared to this except for Spider-Man too that's not be disrespectful I do feel like some of the one-off and like what if type of Spider-Man stories
Starting point is 00:01:41 did Spider-Man justice such as Spider-Man Edge of Time, Spider-Man Web of Shadows and even I think it was called The Spectacular Spider-Man which is like the very first game I think did Spider-Man versus Venom right you got to play as Venom and you got to play a Spider-Man
Starting point is 00:01:56 met up at the end and the post-game content was you being able to go GTA-style rampage as Venom. Like that game, probably one of my favorite Spider-Man games of all time. But of course, not the favorite
Starting point is 00:02:11 as that title is held by the first Spider-Man game by Insomniac titled Spider-Man PS-4. Now, I don't know why, but because of the gap, I felt like they was going to call this Spider-Man
Starting point is 00:02:26 PS-5, which, you know, kind of makes sense because I don't know how what the time slate is for the next Spider-Man game as far as Spider-Man 3. But I do believe Spider-P S5 could have been a fitting title. But it kind of makes sense as I think they know what they're doing with titling this Spider-Man 2. If you don't know, the Sam Ramey Spider-Man 2 movie was spectacular. Probably the best Spider-Man movie ever created.
Starting point is 00:02:53 The video game attached to that is arguably the best video game ever. made. Granted, it was a spinoff of the movie, but also people attributed as just overall being a solid game in itself. Like I had a lot of villains that wasn't even showcased in the movies,
Starting point is 00:03:15 especially the mysterious elements. But what I do want to say is, I feel like Insomniac threw away the Spider-Man PS5 title to title it, Spider-Man 2, to let you know how they come in they're trying to go for the throne as the best spider-man game ever
Starting point is 00:03:37 where i already give them the throne as far as spider-ps for about a lot of people still want to argue that spider-man two is the best game ever created which you know i'm not mad at that that definitely set the groundwork for a lot of future spider-man games as far as like the what's the what's the word car as far as the starts with the eye i definitely forgot let's just say intuitive the the intuitive gameplay mechanics and just being a pioneer of having webs actually stick to something and having some type of skill gap with swinging if you don't remember back in the day shameless plug follow my analytic dreams video version to watch the video alongside um the audio elements of course you know it's spotify exclusive analytic dreams video on spotify okay with that being said this is
Starting point is 00:04:31 where we came from we've went from this type of spotting with these type of graphics, you know, not just like, not downgrading or like just completely trashing this because this is what they was working with back in the day. This was a solid game. This was another solid game. It definitely is slept on gym, in my opinion. I don't know what it's actually called. Like, it's the old Spider-Man where you couldn't even touch the ground.
Starting point is 00:04:54 But anyways, the Spider-Man versus Venom in this game was actually done well. And they were just comparing the graphics from that to the Spider-Man 2 game that's currently about to come out. And let me just say as a Spider-Man fan, the evolution of technology just has to be appreciated more when you see stuff like this. We went from this in the span of what
Starting point is 00:05:16 10 to 15 years to this in Spider-Man 2. The graphical leaps and bounds we've made with the evolution of technology as a gamer. I thought you just have to give it up to developers because it has to be a lot to make this type of game, especially with the runtime
Starting point is 00:05:33 of it's probably going to be at least 30 to 40 hours like at the very least so that's why for video games in general spider-man two is just one of those games while i just been looking forward to it since i completed spider-man for uh spiderman for the like fourth time like i played that game from start to finish it's like three or four times i know it's it's kind of a sweaty type of uh fact but hey like i said spider man's my favorite fictional creation of all time so as far as the nerd I definitely nerd out when it comes to the Spider-Man content. But anyways, let's get into the story trailer because what I'm going to tell you all right now is I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:06:12 All this information I'm about to tell you right now is just completely false. And if anybody from Insomniac is listening, just know that I am full of it. I don't know what I'm talking about. So you shouldn't sue me because I don't know anything. Like honestly, I just made all this up what I'm about to say. So you should probably click off. honestly all right with that being said for the people still here if you don't want spoilers I would definitely leave honestly the way I talk about Spider-Man I love to get
Starting point is 00:06:44 into the nerdy elements of it which is behind-the-scenes stuff and what's shown to you so just like I did for the Spider-Man no way home the MCU movies like when the information came out with how those movies was going to go about I always love to learn about what's going to happen because I know in a video game they're still going to showcase the element of surprise when you see the actual presentation of it. So with that being said, I'm going to get into stuff that will be spoilers.
Starting point is 00:07:11 So definitely, if you don't want spoilers for the game, I would click off and come back after you beat the game. And I don't know, you can come back and either say I was wrong or you can say, you know what? It is pretty different when you play the game. It's a little different experience. So I like to know what's going to happen, not like beat for beat, but you know, still it's like,
Starting point is 00:07:35 The overview of the story, I want to know everything I can about it. But as far as the baseline stuff, of course, this game comes out October 20th, 2023. Very interesting is coming out in October, which is Halloween season, which is also like a very popular Venom date, which if you don't know, the past two Venom movies, I think, came out around October. So as far as the Halloween and Venom appeal, it definitely goes hand in hand. So it's a great marketing tactic in that sense. and I do believe we're going to end up getting a Venom spin-off game, wink-wink.
Starting point is 00:08:08 And I do believe that in general, the way that they're going about this is setting up anticipation for Venom in a way that Miles was set up in Spider-Man PS4. Now, I don't know how I know that. It's just, I just made it up. So anyways, and Simon Eck already came out and said to working on another AAA title. And they're not letting us know the name. I don't know why, you know. But anyways, all I got to say is Venom is being propped up like Spider-Man, like Miles Morales was in Spider-Man PS4. And Miles Morales ended up getting a spinoff game, which wasn't as long, but it was still a spinoff game based off of Spider-Man PS4.
Starting point is 00:08:50 So do up that information, which you will. Hopefully we can put two and two together. I did say I'm getting into spoiler territory. But if somebody from, like, Insomnia is listening, which I don't know why you would be, because, you know, I'm just completely. like what i'm saying right now is just completely false so i would just you know go to a more informed person to talk about the game uh or to listen about the tidbits about the story so anyways also it's a playstation five exclusive uh action adventure genre developed by sonic games of course published by sony interactive if you don't know sony owns the rights to spider man if you wonder why
Starting point is 00:09:27 marvel was even able to make spiderman movies it's because they are leasing out spider man to the MCU so they can show Sony how to make a good Spider-Man movies literally because if you've seen with Sony all of the Venoms uh no all of the Spider-Man villains spin-off movies they've made have been mediocre at best i mean just ask all Morbius fans so anyways the game picks up let me see i forget how long uh i think it's like two years after the events of miles I'm not sure about that one. Let me see. Similar.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Let's see characters. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, that's basically it. I was just covering the baseline stuff. All right, let's get into the actual trailer. And like I said, may or may not be spoilers throughout the trailer. All right. Also, Analytic Dreams video if you want to watch alongside while I'm covering this
Starting point is 00:10:24 and on Spotify, exclusively on Spotify, as far as a podcast video version, it's concerned. All right. Hopefully this is loud enough. I think it is. I guess we're going to find out. It's a miracle I'm even sitting here now. I got a second chance. I'm going to take advantage of that.
Starting point is 00:10:43 All right. So basically, first, you know, let's get to the first spoiler, I guess. So apparently this man is like anti-Venum. So the reason that, what's his name? Martin Lee, like Mr. Negative is still in this game, is because if you don't know in the comics, Lee is trying to cure something, and he's using a symbiote to cure it and ends up creating anti-venom. In this game, obviously, the plot points are setting up for the same thing to happen.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Martin Lee is still in the game. Harry is sick, which is why in the first game, the symbiote wasn't attached to him. It was like beside him in the tube because the symbiote like rejects him. So Martin Lee uses the symbiote in a way to turn it into anti-vimum. so Harry can actually wear the symbioseau but then he actually becomes anti-venile. That makes sense. I think anti-venom is like a, it's like a villain. So I wonder how they're going to go about that.
Starting point is 00:11:40 And I think we may get like an interesting fight scene with Spider-Man and Anti-Venum because I think, I don't know, I'm not sure on this point. But I feel like when you come to the Spider-Man 3 movie, how Harry used Spider-Man using his like Green Goblin power, or whatever. I forget what they called him. Like he had the little, I liked his design, but in general, he was like Green Goblin Jr. But he was, when he was helping out Spider-Man at the end of Spider-Man 3, I think that's kind of like the type of beats that they're going to go away here.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Harry helping out Spider-Man with the anti-Venom suit. I don't know how long he's going to have it. All I know is anti-Vinom is going to show up in some capacity. And, oh, the main thing you need to know is that the developers straight up lied to y'all. And the reason for that is because of, because, um, the reason for that is because of the made up sources that I have. Not me like in particular, but just like, where is that? I don't want to like specifically say it because they may like, I don't know, try to find that person because that's the origin of where I'm getting all this information. But anyway, so for the made up stuff that's coming out, they had to get ahead of it and basically discredit it.
Starting point is 00:12:55 So what they said was Eddie Brock is not Venom, but he is Venom. They just lied to y'all because the fake stuff, well, the made-up sources that I have claim that Eddie Brock has playable sections in this game and will end up becoming Venom because of his hatred not only for Peter and for Spider-Man. If you don't know, in Spider-Man PS4, there was a note signed by Eddie Brock talking about nice working with you. Apparently that was like sarcasm or whatever, and they didn't have a good relationship while Peter was at the bugle.
Starting point is 00:13:24 So they're going to talk about that. So their relationship's not going to be the best. Then you're going to have playable sections as 80 Brock. And then Venom's, no, Spider-Man is going to do stuff to like make Eddie Brock angry so that when he gets the Venom suit, now it's like a match made and headman because you don't, if you don't know, the reason why Venom is important is because it's literally the antithesis of Spider-Man. Like the way that Venom is made and basically his whole image is based off of being the
Starting point is 00:13:54 angry like is treating peter and spider man like the x that got away so now venom is like the angry x is why the whole look comes about the way it does it's a resemblance of spider man because that's his like true love that's how it's always been told to me in the comics venom loves peter and spider man and when peter takes off the suit forcingly you know with the bell and the vibrations and stuff venom is just on a never-ending path of wanting to kill Peter and Spider-Man because it basically dumped them. So Eddie Brock is just more of a source to kill Spider-Man more than like it actually being its own character.
Starting point is 00:14:36 That's why the Venom movie makes no sense with no Spider-Man. Like with Sony, there's a reason why they're leasing off Spider-Man to MCU because they don't know what they're doing at all. And even with MCU Spider-Man, that's not the greatest rendition because like I keep saying, there's no venom without Spider-Man. and the reason why I even looks or resembles Spider-Man is because of the relationship it had. It was his first host, and it fell in love with Peter. So hopefully that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:15:03 I don't know. All right, let's keep going. Second chance. Oh, yeah, so that was a big thing I was saying there. Eddie Brock has playable sections, and he is the main villain as Venom. So Eddie Brock will be Venom. That's the reason why they came out to Eddie Brock wasn't Venom, because the made-up sources that I have came out said that Eddie Brock was Venom.
Starting point is 00:15:20 And they kind of want that to be a surprise. Kind of like in Spider-Man PS4, how Doc Ock wasn't revealed until the very end. Like same stuff. I'm going to take advantage of that. So we have Harry talking to Peter. And by the way, this new face model, like, I don't know why everybody's making a big deal about it,
Starting point is 00:15:38 but I don't really think it's that big of a deal. Like, they went with the new face model for Peter. I don't know if they didn't want to pay the old actor or what happened. But anyways, they went with a new face model, and here we have it. So, of course, you have Miles and Paul. Peter and apparently this game starts off isn't that just a great shot of the of the fairs or the fairs of the fair like the ferris wheel and everything it's just straight fire oh and the big wheel in the background apparently it's like an easter egg of an actual big will villain back in the
Starting point is 00:16:16 spider-man lore i never read about the big wheel but apparently it's like a you know like one of them d-less villains it's pretty funny how they have this in there and everybody's like oh that's the you know it's literally just a ferris wheel called the big wheel but it's kind of funny how people attributing that to be an Easter egg for actual villain called the big will in Spider-Man lore so I just thought that was funny but anyways the story starts off with like Miles and Peter you know trying to find a serial killer and Peter tells Miles to stay back because you know serial killers are like sensitive and stuff so he wants to handle it and also I think he also tells Miles to stay back because he well when you get to in the game you realize that it's
Starting point is 00:16:55 Yuri, who's turned into Raith, which in Spider-P-S-4, they built up her anti-hero kind of arc with all her police officers being murdered and stuff. And so now she goes to villain route. It's kind of like the Red Hood and Batman under the Red Hood. It's like, all of these people are dying because we just lock up the villains and they just get out. So now Yuri is Raith, and Raith just straights up kills all the bad guys and villains. So it's not like a serial, well, I guess it is still a serial killer, but still it's like, she's technically anti-hero, but she's just killing people.
Starting point is 00:17:32 So she's like breaking the Batman rule kind of. So like Spider's like going after and stuff like that. So it's kind of personal to Peter, and that's like the first chapter of the game. So I think Raith is the first major villain of the chapter, kind of like how Kingpin was in Spider-Man, PS4, except this one's going to last a little bit longer than Spider-Man 2. Not too long, but you're going to spend significant time as Peter at the the beginning of the game, fighting us wraith. Chapter two is like Craven going after the lizard and in the introduction of Venom. Chapter three is like Venom and Green Goblin. So maybe not Green Goblin.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I heard that was like, well, I just made it up in my head that maybe Green Goblin would be a part of Venom as far as the tag team duo. But we're going to see. But in general, that's kind of how the big villains is going to go about, which is still jam-packed. Like Craven himself, could carry a game, I believe, and to have Venom alongside a Green Goblin and then Raith is kind of like, you know, an introductory feeling like. He's like, oh, okay, well, we've got to
Starting point is 00:18:36 fight Raith. You know, that's like the tutorial segment. Like, you're going to fight Raith, but it's also teaching you how to play the game. So, yeah, so that's how the game starts off. Anyways. Guys, this is my best friend, Harry. Obviously, if I'm going too fast, I can always, like, rewind and stuff. I'm pretty sure,
Starting point is 00:18:52 like, I'm breaking down pretty, pretty, pretty nicely hopefully if not then you know still have time for tutoring you figured out I didn't know there were so also um insomniac is going with a darker red of the suit which I'm so glad for because I don't know why but in Spider-Man PS4
Starting point is 00:19:18 Spider-Man was really like orange I'm probably colorblind so maybe I'm not the best person to talk about this but that the color was lighter than red it was like an orange type color and Spider-Man 2 is like dark red so it's like he's back to his actual colors i don't know if that's just a weird like fun fact but there you have it and then you have oh so that's that's wraith from the first chapter when they chasing the serial killer that's her right there um this is miles of course of course I don't even know why I said that.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Yeah, I know that. Oh, that's why I paused it. Because basically throughout this game, I guess Peter's not like distant, but, you know, Miles is wanting like a mentor and stuff. I guess Peter with the black suit and everything going on in his life, he's not able to be as involved in Miles' life. That's why at the beginning he was like, he's still going to have time for tutoring, kind of talking about the Spider-Man stuff. And Peter's kind of like a distant partner in a sense.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Like he's not like Batman taking him under his wing. He's kind of like, you know, obviously I'm going to teach you. but at this point in the story Peter's kind of distant so that's why Miles is like on his own sometimes and then there's the famous Martin Lee with the interesting hairdo I might add
Starting point is 00:20:54 like this man has definitely spent some time in prison because look at his hair compared to Spider-Man PS4 like that is just that man going through it so anyways he's important to the story because that's how anti-Venom comes about
Starting point is 00:21:10 comics he was really important to like how anti-villin was created so he's probably gonna end up i don't know if they're breaking them out or what what's happening because you if you see there's a lot of it's a lot of commotion in the background you see in the background it's like a propeller was not supposed to be it's a lot of stuff going on as far as like destruction so in general i think they need him to help cure harry and he ends up making anti-venom i don't know if he does it cognizantly or if he does it on accident but i think at some point he's going to end up interacting with the symbiol and end up making anti-venom for Harry. Oh, and then that's, that's Raith.
Starting point is 00:21:50 So that's what Raith looks like. So basically, in the first story trailer, you have a synopsis of all the villains that Craven's going to go after, and you get a nice render of what Raith mask look like. And that's kind of what it looks like right there. Like she's going around. I don't know if those are villains or whatever. Oh, it looks like Spider-Man. Spider-Man is somebody else.
Starting point is 00:22:10 I don't know if it's MJ or what. Some random person. but it seems like Raith is just killing all the villains like at this point she just don't care she's just like all y'all got to die because she was a first she was a police officer she was like we just lock them up they get out and kill more people so now she's on a she's just on a murdering spree she's like every person that committed a crime just straight death so of course Spider-Man has to stop her and this is the first chapter of the game talks about us how to be a better Spider-Man so that's the point
Starting point is 00:22:38 when Miles and mom is like hey Miles wants to be mentored and you kind of a distant you're not really mentor him like you need to be and so peter's just like hey like that's tough and then just goes the bad day and of course you know the black suit we saw that in the story trailer this stuff so far like the way they're using the suit as it's a lie and also the uh design because i heard a lot of people like upset about how the suit looks but i think it's um a play off of how unique the original spider-man suits look like for the black suit they kind of went with the classic version, but in their own unique way. Whereas the regular Spider-Man suit, the white symbol is a no-no for like any type of suit
Starting point is 00:23:22 design for Spider-Man. So the way the Insomniac was able to pull that off, and people like agree that it's like a great rendition of a Spider-Man suit, I mean, obviously people like the classic more. And I feel like the classic is like poorly rendered on purpose because if you look at the classic suit on Spider-Man PS4 compared to the advanced suit, like they didn't know what they was doing. If they would have made the classic suit, because all the DLC suit, because all the DLC suits, they put into the games like fully like rendered and like the graphics are like fire but the classic
Starting point is 00:23:50 suit i feel like it's a little muddy on purpose because they know if they really put like graphical effort into it or just like enhancements into it people would prefer that over the advanced suit because even me i'm still going to say i prefer the classic suit but the uh advanced suit is still fire so that's what they're going with it's like the advanced symbiote take uh advanced symbiote take uh right here i mean you kind of can't see it but Oh, that was a big thing. So my, um, So right here, um, if you never read the comic book,
Starting point is 00:24:28 Dang, I forget what it was called. Basically is when Spider-Man goes full of Veno. It's like when it was called. You have to get what it's called. But anyways, uh, Spider-Man basically throughout the story, he doesn't, he like goes to the Fantastic Four to get the suit off, well not to get the suit diagnosed about like, what it's doing to him.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Basically, Fantastic, well, Reed, it's like, Reed Richards from the Fantastic Four. It's like, hey,
Starting point is 00:24:52 we probably need to take a closer look at it, so can you take it off? Obviously, the suit doesn't want Peter to take it off, so Peter ends up not taking it off and abruptly storms out of the Fantastic Four building,
Starting point is 00:25:01 and then a lot of ends up happening. Why you need to know, is like, he really goes off the rails and just start. Like, he ends up breaking Jay Jonas's, Jay Jonah Jamesus's hand at one point. Like,
Starting point is 00:25:11 bust into the Daily Bugle, threatens him and breaks his hand, like, puts his hand, into Jameson's on the wall and like crushes it. And so not like completely, but like breaks his hand, basically. So I'd be interested if we see that in this game. And also as far as MJ, it gets to a point where the symbiose suit just takes over Spider-Man or Peter Parker.
Starting point is 00:25:32 So I would guess that the suit takes his own image as far as the evolution throughout the game, kind of like in spectacular Spider-Man, the TV series. And also, I would say that we will have sections in a game where we don't play as Peter, but we see him in the black symbiote and he's just doing stuff and not saying a single word. Because in the comics, that meant, like, the symbiote was fully in control of Peter. Like, the symbiote used to, in the original rendition of why he took the symbiote off, is because it was going out while he was sleep without him knowing and just doing stuff, like taking out bad guys and stuff. And he will come back before Peter woke up. And then he would just see himself on the news in the black suit, black suit. And then he realized like, oh, this thing is alive.
Starting point is 00:26:19 And he took it off. It was a weird reason back in the day. Like, that was the OG reason why he took the suit off. Did nothing about his, like, mental health and the effect it had on. It was just basically because it was doing stuff without him knowing. So, yeah, but obviously the takes on the symbiote suit has involved since then. But, yeah, my favorite, one of my favorite aspects is that the symbiote will do its own work sometimes. and the key difference is that Peter doesn't say anything,
Starting point is 00:26:47 and that's kind of how you know when the symbiote. I do like that aspect of it, because when you saw that episode in the spectacular Spider-Man TV series, you know, spoiler, alert, I guess. But he takes out the entire Sinister 6 without saying a word, and then at the end you realize, oh, that was a symbiote, because he wakes up the next morning. He's like, what did I just do?
Starting point is 00:27:08 And then it was like, it was pretty cool, because you just thought Spider-Man was fighting without, like he was just serious, but now it's just a symbio taking over so hopefully they have one of those scenes where spider-man's just going crazy and not saying a single word him miles is kind of treated as like a sidekick throughout this whole game like obviously he's not on spider-man's level and he's definitely not on symbiose spinole spider-man level so yeah throughout this game he's just going to be like one of the side characters kind of like robin
Starting point is 00:27:34 into batman like if you ever um played gotham night uh arkham city i think when the batman black cat, the Batman Catwoman missions, it's kind of gonna be like that. Like that's how the dynamic is gonna be like, Spider-Man's the main threat. Miles is like, just, you know, somebody helping them out.
Starting point is 00:27:58 This was our dream. And that's the thing. Like, the symbio is not bonding with Harry. I'm not. So the symbiote's not bonding with Harry. That's why he took him out the tube and he's just like, we're just going to try to figure something out.
Starting point is 00:28:17 And somehow, some way, Martin Lee ends up, you know, getting that, getting it to Harry by the anti-venom. And then that's, that's where we have it as far as him actually being healed from the suit. I don't know how that's going to end up, like how that storyline is going to end, but I just know that's one of the story beats in the game.
Starting point is 00:28:33 So, yeah, as you can see, he's a little frustrated. Oh, this is interesting because we finally hear Venom's voice acting. And apparently that was the same voice actor for Candyman. So this man, they couldn't get a more experienced guy who knows how to put that horror type inflection into his voice. and our first look at the mighty I don't want to say mighty venom but you know the ferocious venom
Starting point is 00:29:06 I try my best y'all can throw you out tomatoes my fault anyways this is venom and he looks fantastic and honestly hopefully they do it right because me as a you know huge Spider-Man
Starting point is 00:29:26 stand as I keep saying throughout this whole review Venom has always been able to take out Spider-Man like I'm not going to say like he's just leaps and bounds like more powerful than spider man but Spider-Man has never been able to like to handle
Starting point is 00:29:39 Venom. Only time he's able to like get Venom is through his weaknesses. It's like the Superman, it's like a closer version of Superman versus Batman. Like the only way Batman is able to be Superman is by using his weakness which is like kryptonite. Same for Venom. Venom is just every way
Starting point is 00:29:55 better than Spider-Man. That's why he keeps his suit so long because he's just every way better. He's just every which way of combat and like lifestyle as far as to sue being able to change clothes for him and stuff like that. Like it's just better overall. He's just more powerful everything. It's just the mental effects
Starting point is 00:30:13 is why he ended up taking it off. So when Venom gets the suit, he's just way more powerful because all the aggression is just unleashed with the host of Eddie Brought. So Vandum's just way more powerful to Spider-Man. So whenever they fight, it's not really like a fair fight. Like he's just always winning. And in some renditions of the character,
Starting point is 00:30:29 he doesn't set off Spider-Man's Spider-Sense. because of him being its original host. So that was the cartoon version, like the OG Spider-Man cartoon version of Venom. Like Venom never set off Spider-Man's Spider-Sense, which if you don't know, it's like one of the Spider-Man's most like OP abilities
Starting point is 00:30:49 to let them know when danger is coming or how to dodge attacks. So I don't know if they'll do that or if they'll go the video game route and spectacular Spider-Man, where he rang his spider's senses off to it like his head hurt, like his head was hurting the amount of
Starting point is 00:31:04 spider's sense was going off because of venom. So I don't know which way they're going to go. Well, if they're just going to keep it normal where he just got regular Spiders Sense. But I would like to see either or of the extreme. Either he doesn't set off Spider-Sense or he says it off like crazy where his head starts hurting and he's like inebriated while fighting. But yeah, so the way he takes him out, I mean, they already kind of showed it. They kind of spoiled it themselves and the like the way they revealed the symbiote or the
Starting point is 00:31:29 Spider-Man 2 cover reveal as Miles is going to play a big part in the taking down Venom as he's going to use his electric power. So hopefully they use Miles as the way Spider-Man is able to beat Venom and not the age or old, oh, which is going to get sound and take off the suit, which is nothing wrong with that if you do it right, of course. But I would like I see a unique take on how Spider-Man takes out Venom because just like every time Batman fights Superman, he has to use kryptonite. Every time Spider-Man fights Venom has to use some type of sound to take out Venom.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Because, you know, that's his weakness, like too much sound. So I would like to see a unique take on how Spider-Man takes down Venom. And it seems like they're going to go that route with Miles' electricity power, which they are ironically calling the Venom powers. I know confusing, right? Because you actually have Venom in the game. But I don't know. Hopefully they go the unique route of taking out Venom.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Yeah, that's why the ways of, like, Spider-Man taking out Venom by himself, like, that's just, like, as far as comic book-wise and lore-wise, like he's never just been able to just straight up fight venom one-on-one. He's always needed some type of kryptonite type of thing where it's like sound, fire, something like that. And that's another thing. For my recollection, venom wasn't the one weak to fire. It was carnage.
Starting point is 00:32:50 But some iterations of venom in the comic book, every symbiote is actually weak to fire. For me, when I used to watch, it was sound only. And then carnage was fire, but it wasn't sound. I don't know. I think it was both. I think it was sound and venom because, not venom. Sound and fire because Carnish is like an offspring of venom. So he's like more, um, the person he bonds to as far as like Cletus Cassidy is more of like a serial killer. It's like an actual serial killer so that his, um, powers are more on leech because he's, he's willing to do more.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Eddie Brock is like angry at Peter, but he ain't no like serial killer. Like he only wants to kill Peter. Carnage wants to literally cause Carnage and kill everyone. So it's a little different. But I thought Carnage was only weak to fire and not Venom. But if they go to a route of Venom being weak to fire and carnished, then why not fire and sound. And I guess I wouldn't be mad at it. I just didn't know. Anyways, let's keep going.
Starting point is 00:33:49 As you can see, that man, like, that render of venom, that's just, that's fire. That's straight fire. That's heat. So that's what I'm talking about right there with the electric. So they show it, they kind of hint that. at the how they're going to take down venom in this uh logo so you see venom taking over spider-man and then watch closely as the electricity powers which comes from miles like makes it go away
Starting point is 00:34:16 so that's kind of how they're trying to let you know how they're going to take off venom and they're trying to set it up as hairy being venom but like i just said harry is going to end up being anti-villam which i don't mind them saying it that's why i said spoiler warning at the beginning of this whole review kind of know some people like to go in blind so i'm I want to get that warning at the beginning so you don't feel like, oh, you just blonde-sighted me with all the spoiler talk. So, but yeah, that's the biggest thing. But anyways, what else?
Starting point is 00:34:45 I think there's some other thing I want to get into. So yeah, those are my totally made-up facts about the Spider-Man game. So yeah, you let me know what you think about that. Also, the console bundle details. I think they already sold out, so you don't need to see that. Oh, so apparently in other news, side tangent, but still like kind of in the around with this conversation. Spider-Man is supposed to be a part of Invincible season two. So Spider-Man is supposed to be a part of Invincible as the Easter Egg was spotted and even
Starting point is 00:35:14 tweeted by the actual account as the reveal trailer when he was talking to whoever. I forget who he was talking to something to alien. I forget his name. But basically he had a phone and it was an Easter egg of the Spider-Man Invincible Team Up comic book cover. And as you can see, this is a zoom an image of it, analytic dreams video to see what I'm talking about on Spotify. But yeah. So they already tease that Invincible's going to have a spino.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Well, not a spin-off. It's going to have a came to talk. It's going to have a Spider-Man episode, which if you read the comics, it's an easy way that can pull that off. And it actually makes sense. Invincible basically goes, I'm not going to spoil the story.
Starting point is 00:36:00 All you need to know is, Invincible goes to Spider-Man's world. So no, we're not going to see Spider-Man getting brutally beaten. or even though he could definitely hold his own but like we're not going to see any graphic imagery because Invincible is going into the Marvel world and that vice versa.
Starting point is 00:36:15 They even have a funny call to that at the end of the story but you know it's you have to, the comics already out there if you want to look it up for yourself but basically Spider-Man is going to be in one of the episodes of Invincible Season 2 not going to let you know how that happens because that's a spoiler and also the Spider-Man
Starting point is 00:36:33 voice actor which call me a nerd but this has always been my favorite Spider-Man voice actor, which is Josh Keaton, because of the spectacular Spider-Man TV series, he has always been my favorite and especially his work and Spider-Man Edge of Time, which while that video game is also one of my favorites,
Starting point is 00:36:49 as I just like his, I just like him as a voice actor for Spider-Man. I don't know, I just feel like it fits the character perfectly. Like, I wish the Somniac would have Josh Keaton instead of the other voice actor they have Yuri Lohenthal, but I know a lot of
Starting point is 00:37:05 people don't even like that because Yuri Lohenthal was the voice actor for Saske and if you don't know as far as anime voice actors they hold them a higher regard compared to like actual regular voice actors I don't know as far as anime and the anime community is concerned
Starting point is 00:37:20 voice acting there's a whole other tier when you go to anime so yeah so Spider-Man's supposed to be an invincible season two what else oh here's the actual site oh I like the little electricity coming off of a
Starting point is 00:37:34 and the symbiocom. Oh, that's pretty cool. This whole posted for Marvel Spider-Man 2. This is going to sell so much. Like, I don't know how much, but it's going to sell way more than PS4.
Starting point is 00:37:43 I already know. Like, this is going to be insane. Because if you think about it, everybody didn't know if Spider-Man PS4 was going to be nice. Like, as Spider-Man fans, like, bro, we've been, not going to say been through it
Starting point is 00:37:55 because, of course, other superheroes don't even have, like, video games. But still, we've had so many bad video games when it comes to Spider-Man that we're like, we don't know if it's going to be good or bad, because of course, we had just,
Starting point is 00:38:04 gyms like I said with a spectacular Spider-Man uh Spider-Man web of shadows but those were few far in between like we had a lot of movie spinoff that was uh video games I'm talking about the amazing Spider-Man video games that was not it so we was a little hesitant when the Spider-Ps4 game came out like we knew it was going to be fired well from the looks of it but we're still a little hesitant so when they ended up being fire now for more than Spider-Man 2 we're not even worrying about if it's going to be nice or not we just we just honestly we just want to play as Venom. Like, if they let us play as Venom, I'm not going to lie. That's game. I mean, it's already gaming the year for me because I'm biased, but I already know the game's
Starting point is 00:38:42 going to be fire. So, so yeah, October 20th, 2023. What else? Key features. As you can see, this is the main site with the standard edition, $70, of course, digital deluxe edition. You get $80. It's five unique suits for Peter, Miles, two skill points, pre-order incentive items, additional photo mode items. I don't even know what that means. Photo mode items. What in the world? That's what we're putting behind paywalls nowadays.
Starting point is 00:39:15 But anyways, the actual pre-order suits looks like trash. So that's the only critique I could probably give of it. I wonder if they have it up here, so y'all don't think I'm just talking. Of course, it don't happen. They're probably not even trying to show off those suits. Those suits are really trash. It's honestly pretty bad. I'm honestly going to see if I can find it because I don't want y'all think I'm just hating.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Uh, give me one second. This is gonna be the last little tidbit I get into. Okay, I think, y'all don't think I'm just hating. But these pre-order suits, uh, Twitter's so hard to find now because it's like, it's just X. Let me see. Spider-Man suits. It's just the suits. See if it pops up.
Starting point is 00:40:09 I can't find it. All right. Let me see. I was going to go to Insomnia at games. Hopefully they have it up. I don't even think they're promoting those suits anymore. Like those suits just look. straight up trash.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Like, I don't even know, like, if the suits looked that bad, like, well, I put it behind the paywall. Like, it's not even, like, classic suits. It's like suits they literally made up from scratch. It doesn't even look nice. Like, it'd be different if it looked nice. Like, some of the suits that came out, like, with the Velocity suit that was originally created by
Starting point is 00:40:45 Insomniac, like, that suit is fire. But these upcoming suits are just straight trash. I don't know if I can find it. Yeah, I can't find it. Pre-order suits. Yeah, I think they, They didn't wipe these from the internet, man. They don't want nobody to see these suits.
Starting point is 00:41:19 That's unfortunate. Now, we're going to find this. Y'all try to put these behind the paywall and then not even show where the suits look like. Spider-Man too. Ah, found it. See? Can't hide it from me.
Starting point is 00:41:41 I was going to find it. People got to see this. And now the people got to see this. This ain't. This ain't right. Such a low-res of the suits. Can I find like a better? All righty.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Y'all look at this. Y'all look at this right here. Tell me what you think it is. Putting this behind the paywall, the unique suits for the deluxe edition. We have the tactical. We have the... I don't even know what that is.
Starting point is 00:42:26 The zero something. Look at these suits. They literally, like, in the far bottom right, it's like a Power Ranger suit for Miles. I was like, bro, what in the world is this? Like, these suits are atrocious. That's the only thing I have to say bad about this game. Like, this is just bad right here.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Like, who thought this was a good idea to put this behind the paywall? The only thing is, these suits right here, I think it could be the saving grace, which is also part of the pre-order bonus. I know it's blurry. Sorry, I try to find this suit. Like, you just, that long pause was me trying to find these suits. They didn't wipe it from the internet. They know how bad these suits look.
Starting point is 00:42:59 But the only thing I think is the saving grace is that these have a cape. I think the cape could look pretty cool from a gameplay perspective. But, yeah, so this is the pre-order bonus. It's not like additional. but this is the additional this is like the deluxe edition um so yeah so this is like the 80 package and you get these atrocious
Starting point is 00:43:17 suits like one in the world honestly I think they're saving like the classic stuff to unlock in game so they didn't want to make too many fast mad like imagine they put the classic symbiote suit look in here as far as the deluxe edition man fans may have rioted so I feel like they probably
Starting point is 00:43:33 put the worst suits in here on purpose hopefully I know I may be cutting them some slack but come on now it's insomniac like at this point I think they deserve some type of slack. So anyways, put this back up. So yeah, Spider-Man, Marvel Spider-Man, PS2, I think that this will probably be the best game of 2023 by far.
Starting point is 00:43:53 I'm not going to say by far. I don't want to just disrespect Survivor and all the other games coming out. As, you know, people have the only, people have their personal preference. For me, Spider-Man, like I keep saying, is my favorite fictional creation of all time. So I will always and always just enjoy any Spider-Man content,
Starting point is 00:44:12 especially if it's top-tier like this. Like this is literally my favorite rendition of Spider-Man ever created. So, yeah, and that should tell you. So, I mean, if you're a stand of something and something like, like imagine your favorite character right now ever created, right? And then the content was just leaps and bounds better than any content you ever receive for that specific character. Pretty sure you would be excited to.
Starting point is 00:44:38 so anyways uh click my link stream my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about spider man two marvel spottoman two coming out october uh 20th 2023 what do you think about my breakdown of the storyline beats and um how do you feel about what i just said about you know all the little you know made up sources and information i just gave you and do you think it's legit or do you still think that the developers are telling y'all the truth also i don't want to leave leave off on that i want to give a better question what as far as marvel spiderman too what are you most looking forward to in the game
