While the first game was contained to Manhattan Island, Insomniac is expanding across the East River and into Queens.
While Spider-Man 2 will take us back to the New York City we so enjoyed exploring in Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the playable space is being massively expanded. As for parries, that's a new system being introduced for Spider-Man 2 – while Peter will still be able to dodge and swing around combat arenas, sometimes he'll need to well-time a block to disable an enemy and get a few hits in. There's a 'no mercy' style of combat takedowns being introduced into play here, from exceptionally brutal new combos, aggressive paries, and web-casts which seek to harm rather than disable a threat. These powers will intertwine with an expanded set of gadgets, like the group disabling Web Grabber, which will improve Miles' capabilities in stealth and action scenarios.Īs for Peter, his new Black Symbiote Suit necessitates a whole load of new abilities.
He also has a Chain Lighting ability, further improving his proficiencies in managing large crowds. Miles has an expanded range of blue bioelectric powers, such a Thunder Burst – which unleashes a powerful electric ground-pound against foes. Given that Peter Parker has a new suit and that Miles Morales is becoming more confident as Spider-Man, Insomniac is introducing a new suite of combat mechanics and movesets to reflect the character changes.
